vshulcz/deja-vu

Your agents already solved this. deja finds it — memory operations for sixteen coding agents: retroactive search and MCP recall (84.9% hit@1 on LongMemEval-S, no LLM), search by when it happened, a local memory viewer, trust scopes, curated notes with tags. One zero-dep binary, fully local.
