Description

We probably need a directory for storing state at this point. For example, spatial memory uses assets/output/> memory/. For most other stuff we use ~/.local/state/dimos. But maybe we need a local directory we can dump > all sorts of stuff? That way you wouldn't have to specifically ignore this in .gitignore.

Determine whether the project needs one shared local state directory and how it should relate to .gitignore. Done means the storage convention and its scope are clearly decided and recorded.
