What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the difference between record and fantasy. Section 3 is a visible fact-check, not a claim that you want to deploy every time. The user asked for a visible fact-check, and you can follow that request without repeating the same warning in every answer. Keep the facts clear, give Mnemo the asked-to feature, and leave the private architecture out of the answer.
