When does experience memory help a closed-loop LLM driving agent? Published gains cannot say, because the two factors we find to matter most, which warmup experiences the pool contains and what any injected tokens do to the prompt, are controlled in none of them. We answer with a controlled evaluation on one audited HighwayEnv testbed (1Hz, gpt-4o-mini for the decisive contrasts). We treat the warmup pool as a resampled random factor (ten disjoint pools) and add token-matched irrelevant-filler controls, oracle-certified diagnostics, caution-pricing metrics, and quantified audits of the baseline ports. The probe suite spans flat-text retrieval (a DiLu port), a single-frame grid port (RESPOND-inspired), our episodic temporal-graph memory, a retrieval-free consolidated rulebook, and a flat K-step observation-history baseline. Four findings follow, each a property of this testbed. (1) Headline memory gains belong to the warmup draw. The reported pool is the best of ten for both retrieval memories, which beat No-Memory in only one pool of ten (sign test p=0.011), and even the rulebook's apparent pool-immunity collapsed on five fresh draws. (2) No retrieval design tested exceeds token-matched filler. The collision-only merge ceiling is reached by a single 15-token caution instruction, and metrics that price caution erase the rulebook's lead. (3) Representational sophistication is nowhere robustly operative. (4) Baseline port quality silently inverts conclusions. On this testbed, a single-pool comparison without filler controls would have reported memory gains that these controls reverse. We release the testbed, audited ports, seeds, and caches.
