When enabled, active memory records the blocking sub-agent transcript in the
agent SQLite database and registers plugin-owned transcript locator metadata,
not a JSONL runtime sidecar and not the main user conversation transcript path.
The default locator namespace is conceptually:
```text
plugins/active-memory/transcripts/agents/<agent>/active-memory/<blocking-memory-sub-agent-session-id>.jsonl
```
You can change the relative subdirectory with `config.transcriptDir`.
When enabled, active memory logs the SQLite locator for the blocking sub-agent
transcript. The transcript itself is stored in the agent SQLite database, not a
JSONL runtime sidecar and not the main user conversation transcript path.
`config.transcriptDir` is ignored by the SQLite-backed runtime and remains only
as a compatibility setting for older configuration files.
