Phase 3f complete: Advanced Memory Management (Steps 64-67)

Step 64: AnnotationValidator — @Deallocate missing-intent, @Owner(Single) alias detection, parent/child conflict (5/5 tests)
Step 65: MemoryStrategyInference — language defaults, per-function pattern analysis, confidence scores (5/5 tests)
Step 66: CrossLanguageProjector — deep-copy AST projection, annotation-aware CppGenerator (shared_ptr/unique_ptr) (5/5 tests)
Step 67: Optimization annotations — HotCold, Inline, Pure, ConstExpr with C++ attribute generation (9/9 tests)

 ## What's Next
 
-Phase 3c (Classical Editing Mode) is complete. All backend components exist:
-text editing, AST sync, syntax highlighting, and configurable keybindings.
-GUI is fully wired — editor is functional and can be launched.
+Phase 3e (Agent API Extend) complete. Phase 3f Step 64 done.
 Next logical work:
-- **Phase 3d** (Steps 55–58): Emacs integration completion (splash screen, mode-specific behavior)
-- **Phase 3e** (Steps 59–63): WebSocket agent API (Step 60 already done, remaining: WebSocket endpoint, agent protocol)
+- **Step 65**: Memory strategy inference (suggest annotations from usage patterns)
+- **Step 66**: Cross-language memory projection (lossless annotation translation)
+- **Step 67**: Optimization annotations (@Hot/@Cold, @Inline, @Pure, @ConstExpr)
