Write Gate
A persistence control mechanism in agent memory systems, drawing on database write-ahead validation and security-policy-as-code ideas. It separates memory into a proposal stage and a commit stage, with a policy layer independent of the model deciding whether content may be persisted. The mechanism must be auditable and rollback-capable.

The correct division of labor for persistent memory is: the Agent can only produce candidate memories (proposal), and whether to persist them is decided (commit) by a policy layer independent of the model.
Implementing the write gate as 'please only remember important information' in the prompt is a common mistake; the model may still bypass it in the next turn.
