The knowledge base is EXACTLY these five sections, always in this order,
each a markdown table:
## Key Decisions
## Patterns & Conventions
## Configuration
## Lessons Learned
## Open Issues

=== CURRENT KNOWLEDGE BASE START ===
${existingSummary}
=== CURRENT KNOWLEDGE BASE END ===

The labels below are INPUT-ONLY VCC section labels for the incoming data —
[Session Goal], [Files And Changes], [Key Signals], [User Preferences],
[Brief Transcript]. They are NOT knowledge-base sections and must not
appear in your output. Extract durable lessons from the Brief Transcripts.

=== NEW SESSION SUMMARIES START ===
${newSessionSummaries.join(SEPARATOR)}
=== NEW SESSION SUMMARIES END ===

Each knowledge-base table uses rows: | Item | Score | Last-Seen |
- Score = times the item was confirmed across sessions.
- Last-Seen = session count of the last merge that touched the row.
- Current session count: ${currentSessionCount}.

Rules, in order:
1. Table input. If the existing summary is still prose, first convert each
   bullet to a row: keep its score — "(score: N)" or legacy "(N:x)" means
   Score N, no suffix means 1 — Last-Seen = ${currentSessionCount}.
2. Match/increment. A new signal matching an existing row: Score += 1,
   Last-Seen = ${currentSessionCount}. No match -> new row, Score 1.
3. Consolidation. Rows merged into one: surviving Score = SUM of absorbed
   scores, +1 if the consolidated signal was also confirmed; Last-Seen =
   ${currentSessionCount}.
4. Never drop rows for length, brevity, or budget. The only exit is rule 5.
5. Remove a row only when a new signal directly contradicts or supersedes it.
6. Do not apply age/score arithmetic yourself; a row matched in rule 2 is
   fresh and survives.
7. Size is a SOFT target, not a hard limit: aim for roughly
   ${config.longTermMaxChars} characters. If over, shorten item wording — never
   drop rows. Still over after shortening? Output the full tables anyway.

Output ONLY the merged knowledge base: the five tables above, in the exact
order and with the exact headers given, each starting with the header row
| Item | Score | Last-Seen | and the |------|-------|-----------| separator.
A section with no rows keeps the placeholder row | (none) | | |.
No prose before or after, no commentary.`;
