Complete Phase IV artificial beings (SOUL-WP-0005)

Map agent architectures, memory/persistence mechanisms, and approximate-Being
catalog onto Soul Frame vocabulary. Write phase-iv synthesis, strengthen H9 on
the Agent/APE side, finish SOUL-WP-0005, and mark SOUL-WP-0006 ready.

 ## RQ8 — What kinds of artificial Being exist?
 
-**Phase I status:** partial — Sp. begins new lineage; Gh. defaults to authorized
-succession; Agent functional vs autonomous split. Full typology Phase IV–V.
+**Phase IV status:** Agent architectures mapped as Functional Agent / APE /

 ## Cross-cutting
 
-- Memory vs continuity thresholds
+- Memory vs continuity thresholds (when does memory become continuity of a Being?)
+- Vendor-held companion memory: constitutive continuity vs Continuity Bridge under custody
+- Silent memory edit / semantic rollback as identity threats (OQ-MEM-02, OQ-MEM-05)
+- Shared RAG across personas (OQ-MEM-01); multi-Body shared graphs
+- Model upgrade with retained memory (OQ-MEM-03) — operational H6 tests
 - Operational / identity / social death / legacy interactions
 - Law/governance map (Phase V/XII)
 - Fiction as conceptual laboratory (Phase VI/XIII)
