memory remember unexpectedly requires OpenRouter configuration

What happens

On a linked self-hosted v2.3.1 project, memory list succeeds but memory remember returns AI_INVALID_API_KEY when OpenRouter is not configured. The CLI skill describes memory as built-in project memory without documenting this prerequisite.

Command

insforge memory remember

Error

AI_INVALID_API_KEY: [REDACTED] API key not configured

Expected

Store an atomic project memory or document the Model Gateway prerequisite.

Workaround

Keep the decision in versioned application code and tests.

Triage finding

The automated validity check did not complete (coding session exceeded its 90 min wall clock and was aborted); this has not been verified.
