The only MemPalace variable the template never mentioned, and the one that
moves the feeders' stage as a side effect: the palace root resolves as
$MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH -> $MEMPAL_PALACE_PATH -> ~/.mempalace/config.json ->
~/.mempalace/palace, and the stage is derived from it (<palace-root>/pi-stage).

The comment states that precedence, records why neither the image nor the
entrypoint exports it (pinning the palace without carrying the stage along
re-creates the split a shared root removed, v1.8.2), warns that a stage whose
persistence differs from the palace makes a scoped `mempalace sync` prune
conversation drawers whose dedup key is the staged path, and notes it is a
path INSIDE the container unlike the host-side WORKSPACE_PATH/SSH_KEY_PATH
above it.

Found while auditing a live host whose .env sets it redundantly to the
default value.

## Unreleased
### Documentation
- **`.env.example` documents `MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH`.** It was the only MemPalace
variable the template never mentioned, while being the one that silently moves
the feeders' stage: the palace root resolves as `$MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH` →
`$MEMPAL_PALACE_PATH` → `~/.mempalace/config.json` → `~/.mempalace/palace`, and
the stage is derived from it (`<palace-root>/pi-stage`). The comment states the
precedence, says why neither the image nor the entrypoint exports it (pinning
the palace without carrying the stage re-creates the split a shared root
removed — see v1.8.2), warns that a stage whose persistence differs from the
palace makes a scoped `mempalace sync` prune conversation drawers whose dedup
key is the staged path, and notes it is a *container* path unlike the
host-side `WORKSPACE_PATH`/`SSH_KEY_PATH` above it. Found while auditing a live
host whose `.env` sets the variable redundantly to the default.
