cam sync crashes with RangeError: Invalid string length after remember/reindex #44
Description
Summary
codex-auto-memory works after install/init, cam remember works, and cam memory reindex successfully builds retrieval sidecars.
However, cam sync --cwd /Users/orion/Documents/ballx-web crashes with:
RangeError: Invalid string length
Because of that, cam doctor --json keeps reporting:
layoutDiagnostics.index-drift
Canonical MEMORY.md no longer matches the topic Markdown files for project/active.
Environment

fix: split rollout chunks before appending pending lines

#53 is merged into main and fixes a string-limit failure when reading large multiline rollouts. A later Linux check of init → remember → reindex → sync passed with synthetic data, but the cause of your macOS exception and the doctor index-drift report remains unconfirmed. If this still occurs on a build containing #53, please share the CAM, Node and Codex CLI versions and a redacted exception stack; session contents are not needed.
