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.
elp-input.el: replace broken engram_search_json with engram_activate_json
as Layer 1. Layer 2 suppress/filter keeps nodes with non-zero salience/
importance. Reason step extracts patient from top activated node content.
ELP grammar realizes the response via generate().
routes.el: add 'elp' event_type to handle_dharma_recv so the studio can
route ELP requests through dharma.
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).
Canonical Neuron substrate source. The "real me" - not the marketing
demo soul. Lives at neuron/soul.el for now (no subdirectories yet,
per directive). Build pipeline, deploy targets, and any related
artifacts come later.
