Source-level comparison of two agent-memory systems, descending from design philosophy to schema. Adds 3 files (1 post + 2 static assets); no template or global-CSS changes. All widget styles namespaced .tm-*. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
feather.min.js was a parser-blocking <script> in <head>; when the CDN is slow or blocked (privacy extension, Pi-hole, offline) it froze the entire page parse, so deferred scripts — including the two-memories post's widgets.js — never executed and no figures rendered. Load it async and call feather.replace() defensively (immediately, on the script's onload, and at DOMContentLoaded) so icons still render once it arrives.

The Plausible analytics script was `defer`, and deferred scripts execute in strict document order — so when pls.mrkaran.dev is slow or blocked (ad/privacy blockers routinely kill analytics domains), it stalled the deferred queue and the two-memories post's widgets.js never ran, leaving every figure blank. Loading it async decouples it: no third-party script is now render-blocking or ahead of the widget script. Also stops the analytics fetch from delaying DOMContentLoaded on every page.

Source-level teardown of two open-source agent-memory systems — Honcho (Plastic Labs) vs Hindsight (Vectorize). The post descends layer by layer from design philosophy down to the
CREATE TABLEstatements, framing both as one bet restated: put the intelligence in the model, or in the structure.Changes
