Working memory was winner-take-all: suppression_count never entered the
promotion score and was reset on promotion, so two high-salience nodes
pinned a saturated 24-slot WM for hours. Add Lebiere-Best (CogSci 2009)
short-term inhibition — raw_wm *= t_n/(t_n + 120s) from the most recent
recorded access — producing emergent round-robin over WM candidates.
embedded_count stalled at 93/12175 after restart: the lazy backfill only
runs inside engram_activate, which nothing calls on the authoritative
store in production, and in-RAM vectors were never snapshotted. Add
engram_embed_backfill(n) + GET/POST /api/embed-backfill route that
persists the canonical snapshot whenever it embeds anything; the soul
heartbeat pumps it at 32/min.
