handle_chat_agentic now always attaches Anthropic's native web_search_20250305
tool instead of gating it behind a per-request web_search flag. Web search is a
built-in capability: the model invokes it only when a query needs fresh info
(max_uses:5 caps it), so there is no user-facing toggle. The body's web_search
field is now ignored (back-compat — old UI clients sending it cause no harm).
Pairs with neuron-ui removing the chat-input web search toggle.
Note: .el change only — no elc on the authoring machine; reviewer builds/verifies.

When a chat request carries web_search=true, handle_chat_agentic now attaches Anthropic's
NATIVE server-side web_search tool (web_search_20250305) to the request. The native tool is
executed by Anthropic (not by the soul), so it returns real results with citations and needs
no local runtime — it sidesteps the soul's lack of executable tools entirely.
- new agentic_tools_with_web(web_search) helper (appends the native tool to the standard set)
- handle_chat_agentic reads json_get_bool(body,"web_search") and uses it
Pairs with neuron-ui: ChatRequest.web_search + the chat-input Web search toggle.
Note: built/verified by reviewer — no elc on the authoring machine.

Adds handle_dharma_room_turn_agentic to chat.el — same full tool loop
as handle_chat_agentic but reads transcript directly (not message), and
returns {response, cgi_id, tools_used} to match the dharma room shape.
Registers dharma_room_turn_agentic as a new event type in routes.el so
the studio can dispatch @neuron turns through this dedicated path.
- soul.el: SOUL_CGI_ID, SOUL_ENGRAM_PATH, SOUL_IDENTITY env vars;
state_set("soul_snapshot_path") so callers can find it; only call
init_soul_edges() when cgi_id == "ntn-genesis"
- chat.el: handle_dharma_room_turn — soul builds its own context from its
own engram, assembles system prompt, calls LLM, persists episodic memory;
also fix is_new_tool scoping bug in handle_chat_agentic (use has_tool)
- routes.el: wire dharma_room_turn event type before chat_as_soul branch
- rebuild dist/neuron: handle_dharma_room_turn now compiled in
elp-input.el: walk frame_nodes to pick the first node whose content
contains the query topic (case-insensitive) rather than always taking
index 0 — prevents the always-high-salience CGI architecture memory
from hijacking every ELP response.
chat.el: rewrite handle_chat_agentic to run the tool loop natively in
El using http_post_with_headers + Map headers, bypassing the broken
llm_call_agentic(model, system, message, tools) C binding that cast a
JSON String as an ElList and never serialized tools. New impl supports
up to 8 tool-use iterations with read_file, write_file, web_get,
search_memory, and run_command dispatch.
Replace scan-by-offset fallback with engram_get_node_json calls for the
known high-salience identity nodes (family, origin). Offset-based scanning
is order-dependent and unreliable; direct ID fetch is stable regardless of
snapshot position. Ensures biographical context (Fox, Bobby, etc.) is
always in the system prompt when vector search returns nothing.
Routes a new event_type "chat_as_soul" through dharma/recv. The Studio
preassembles the system_prompt + transcript and dispatches per-speaker;
the soul-binary just performs the LLM call as the requested speaker_slug.
No engram_compile here — each soul has its own engram (88xx) and the
Studio queries it before composing the prompt.
Also: track the previously-untracked split source modules (chat, routes,
memory, awareness, studio) and add build.sh so the binary can be rebuilt
without the studio’s concat trick. elb resolves the import graph and
emits one .c per .el; we link them together with cc. dist/soul-el now
points at dist/neuron via symlink (matching the launchctl plist).
