Covers time-based\ndecay models (knowledge expires after N days without verification),\nchange-detection triggers (source document modified, invalidate\nderived embeddings), freshness scoring in retrieval ranking, Guru-style\nverification workflows with assigned knowledge owners, and the\ndistinction between stable knowledge (architectural principles) and\nvolatile knowledge (API versions, team rosters) that requires\ndifferent freshness policies.\n"
