Groove Utilities Memory Doctor

A health check utility that verifies your Groove memory backend is properly configured. It runs through five checks in sequence, from the root index file to the full directory structure (daily/weekly/monthly logs, specs, and the learned warm memory tier), reporting each with a pass or fail mark. What's nice is that every failure comes with a specific remediation command to run, so you're not left guessing. Use this when you're setting up a new Groove installation, debugging memory issues, or after migrations. It won't auto-fix anything, which is the right call for a diagnostic tool. Think of it as a preflight checklist that tells you exactly what's broken and how to fix it.
