self-review 2026-07-24: boot counter — demote to telemetry weight, restore persistence via HTTP write-back

Browse Source 
Three stale soul:boot_count copies (salience .9, importance .9, Canonical:
+0.2 tier bias, 0.15 threshold) held the top WM slots for 23h — a boot
counter outcompeting real context. Demoted to salience .55 / importance .2 /
tier Working: plumbing, not memory.

Persistence was also broken: in HTTP-engram mode the server owns state and
nothing wrote the counter back — the log shows boot #5 on three consecutive
boots. mem_boot_count_inc now mirrors the persona write-back: delete stale
server copies (matched by content prefix — route_create_node sets
label=content), create the replacement server-side. Working tier is in the
boot seed (/api/nodes) but excluded from periodic /api/sync, so the count
survives restarts without re-importing mid-session. Verified: restart
incremented 1->2 with exactly one server-side counter node.
