+
+Type-conversion layer between jcode's `MemoryEntry` and mempalace's `Drawer`.
+
+## What's here
+
+- **`convert` module** — bidirectional 1:1 conversions between:
+  - `MemoryCategory` ↔ `DrawerKind` (including `Entity`, `Correction`, `Custom`)
+  - `MemoryEntry` ↔ `Drawer` (all fields mapped)
+  - `MemoryScope` ↔ `MemoryScope` (Project→Local, Global→Global, All→All)
+  - `TrustLevel` ↔ String
+  - `Reinforcement` ↔ `MpReinforcement`
+
+- **Mirror types** (`Drawer`, `DrawerKind`, `DrawerId`, `MemoryScope`) — local
+  definitions that match mempalace's public surface exactly, exported for
+  downstream crates that need to construct mempalace-shaped values without
+  pulling in the full `mempalace-core` crate.
+
+## Why no mempalace-core dependency?
+
+mempalace-core depends on `rusqlite 0.32` while jcode uses `rusqlite 0.33`
+(via `cross_agent_session_resumer`). Both versions link to the native `sqlite3`
+library, which cargo's resolver disallows. The mirror-type approach avoids this
+entirely — zero conflict, always compiles.

+// =====================================================================
+// jcode-mempalace-adapter — bridge jcode's MemoryEntry ↔ mempalace's Drawer
+// =====================================================================
+//
+// This crate provides the **type-conversion layer** between jcode's
+// `MemoryEntry` / `MemoryCategory` / `MemoryScope` and mempalace's
+// `Drawer` / `DrawerKind` / `MemoryScope`.
+//
+// Without the "backend" feature, it defines local mirror types
+// (`Drawer`, `DrawerKind`, `DrawerId`, `MemoryScope`) that match
+// mempalace's public surface exactly — zero dependency on mempalace-core.
+//
+// With `features = ["backend"]`, the crate pulls in `mempalace-core`
+// (rusqlite 0.33, now aligned) and provides:
+// - `MempalaceAdapter` — runtime wrapper around `Palace` implementing
+//   the 8 memory-tool actions (remember/recall/search/list/forget/tag/link/related)
+// - `migrate::migrate_to_mempalace` — data migration from jcode JSON
+//   MemoryGraph files to mempalace Drawer + KG format
+//
+// # Issues implemented
+//
+// - #355: Type-conversion layer (mirror types, round-trip conversion)
+// - #356: Data migration tool (`migrate` module, behind "backend")
+// - #357: MempalaceAdapter for MemoryTool dispatch (behind "backend")
+// - #358: MempalaceAdapter exposes palace for prompt injection (behind "backend")
