Implements the accumulation layer from the Layered Consciousness architecture
(provisional 64/064,262) and answers the deferred design question. Per the spec
and Will's design: new user-facing nodes (memories, knowledge, conversations) are
created in an accumulation layer at the TOP of the consciousness stack — the engram
the user sees — while the layers below (safety, core-identity, domain, imprint,
suit) shape behavior but are hidden from the user.
- Adds ENGRAM_LAYER_ACCUMULATION (5) + the layer record in engram_init_layers
(activation_priority 50, suppressible, not injectable, transparent=0).
- engram_node and engram_node_full now assign new nodes to ENGRAM_LAYER_ACCUMULATION.
- ENGRAM_LAYER_DEFAULT stays CORE_IDENTITY ON PURPOSE: it is the fallback for LEGACY
nodes loaded from snapshots without a layer_id, so existing data (the originator
corpus) is NEVER migrated. New-nodes-only — the immutable-originator rule.
This is the foundation for fixing the identity-bleed / customer-isolation issue
(user data was landing in Neuron's core-identity layer). The retrieval-side
provenance filter (introspection should compile from accumulation, not the
originator corpus — Persona 64/036,574) is a follow-on, pending the batch-2
Layered Consciousness + Engram spec docs for exact semantics. Compiles clean.
