self-review 2026-05-21: fix curiosity seed splitting and awareness loop activation

Browse Source 
Two fixes:

1. proactive_curiosity() was calling engram_activate_json with multi-word phrases
   ("memory knowledge context"). engram_activate finds seeds via istr_contains
   (substring match), so the phrase had to appear verbatim in a node's content.
   Almost no node contains the exact string "memory knowledge context", so only
   0-2 nodes activated per curiosity scan. Fixed by activating each word separately:
   "memory", "knowledge", "context" → 3 independent activate calls → hundreds of
   nodes promoted to WM per cycle.

2. dist/neuron.c called http_serve() (blocking accept loop) which made awareness_run()
   unreachable. soul.el correctly specifies http_serve_async but elc silently drops
   unknown builtins, leaving blocking http_serve in the compiled C. Patched neuron.c
   to call http_serve_async directly — HTTP server runs in a background pthread,
   awareness_run() runs on the main thread as intended.
