At the flip commit 5aa5ccc9 the default thresholds were active 25% of RAM (4-32 GB) and inactive 75% (12-96 GB). Three days later commit b30e980a (PR #14089, listed in the v0.23.0 notes) lowered them to active 10% (2-10 GB) and inactive 100% (max 96 GB), with the stated reason that many users have 'it just fits' workflows. The PR #13802 description says the second argument defaults to 25%, which contradicts the 75% in the merged code. The same release also reverts the 'disable non-dynamic smart memory' step of #13802 (PR #14183). Net behaviour at v0.23.0 was not read from main.py at the tag.

Curator qualifications: Thresholds changed three days later (PR #14089): active 25% to 10% (2-10 GB) and inactive 75% to 100% (max 96 GB), per release notes and commits. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary.

Limitations: [verification_limitation] Threshold change from producer copies (curator verified only the flip).
