Cache bell node result in engram_compile state (engram_compile_bell_node) so handle_chat affective_prefix reads the cached value instead of firing a duplicate engram query for distress signals (Issue 2) - Cache primary activation result in engram_compile state (engram_compile_activation_json) using nodes0 from engram_compile_multi - Replace redundant engram_activate_json(message, 2) in strengthen_chat_nodes with state_get(engram_compile_activation_json) -
