dory vs matryca-plumber

dory: Dory is a local-first memory daemon that gives every AI agent the same brain. It uses Markdown as source of truth and SQLite as a disposable sidecar, providing a narrow API for agents to read and write shared memory. This eliminates the need to re-explain context across different tools like Claude, Codex, opencode, etc.; matryca-plumber: Matryca is a headless MCP server and CLI that turns a local Logseq graph into an agentic workspace. It operates without network APIs or background desktop app, using atomic AST writes and X-Ray token compression. It provides spatial intelligence, sandboxed privacy, and zero-database lexical engine.
