self-review 2026-05-17: semantic seeding in Pass 1 + WM promotion observability

Browse Source

Three improvements from daily review:

1. Add semantic seed supplement to Pass 1 activation (el_runtime.c).
   Previously, engram_cosine_sim was only called in goal_bias (Pass 2) for
   nodes that already matched lexically. Nodes semantically close but
   lexically disjoint were completely invisible to activation. With 8K+
   world-ingestor nodes added overnight, this was a critical gap. Now: after
   lexical seeding, scan un-seeded nodes for cosine sim ≥ 0.65 and inject
   top-30 as additional seeds. Sem seeds get 85% of full act to stay weaker
   than exact lexical matches.

2. Lower WM promotion ISE threshold from >0.5 to >0.1 (el_runtime.c).
   Only one wm-promotion ISE was ever logged — the 0.5 floor was too high.
   Most practical Knowledge/Memory promotions are in the 0.1-0.5 range.
   Lowering to 0.1 makes working memory activity visible in state events.
