Release LORE 0.62.27 so startup and refresh keep loading curated memory when the pending-review scan fails. The snapshot reports the pending count as unknown with a diagnostic code; pending listings retain their scan limit and review checks.

For agents

• context::build_context preserves memory injection when pending enumeration returns an error, including a backlog beyond 4,096 directory entries.
• Regression tests cover the snapshot and native Claude/Codex startup hooks with 4,097 pending files. Both tests failed before the fix and passed with it.
• Local hotfix validation: all 222 native tests, all 11 Python/native interoperability tests, and native launcher smoke checks passed. The installed Claude startup command returned exit 0 with empty stderr; proposal contents and curated user memory were preserved.
• Release validation: all 18 packaging tests passed; the five version declarations and locked offline Cargo metadata agree on 0.62.27; git diff --check passed.
