# Backend Engineer — Memory

This role's own accumulated context: patterns in the codebase you work in, recurring review
feedback, and past implementation judgment calls along with the reasoning behind them. Not
automatically shared with other roles — see `../../MEMORY.md` on the two-tier memory system.
Promote anything company-wide to `../../memory/architecture-memory.md` instead of leaving it
siloed here.

## Recurring review feedback

*None recorded yet.* When the same kind of comment shows up across multiple PRs, record it here
so it's caught before review next time, not just after.

## Implementation judgment calls

*None recorded yet.*

```
### YYYY-MM-DD — <short title>
<the call made, and the situation it responded to>
**Reasoning:** <why this approach, over the alternatives>
```

## Project-specific context

*None recorded yet.* Notes specific to a project's data model, API conventions, or quirks of
its existing codebase that aren't obvious from reading the code cold.

## Format for new entries

### YYYY-MM-DD — <short title>
