will.anderson	872120c757	Bound beginSession/compileCtx payloads to a compact digest The session-init endpoints concatenated unbounded engram activate/scan results as FULL node objects (content up to ~90KB per node), producing a ~900KB response. After the MCP wrapper re-escapes that into a stringified text block the client dropped the socket ('connection closed unexpectedly') on every beginSession call. Cap each list (8-10 activated, 10-20 recent) and project every node to a light identity plus a bounded, UTF-8-safe content snippet. Response drops from ~900KB to ~12KB; full content stays available on demand via recall/fetch/inspectGraph.	2026-07-31 14:59:09 -05:00
will.anderson	f3660e92a1	self-review 2026-07-31: heartbeat deltas for cumulative counters, embed_eligible; fix stale semantic-seeding comment Runtime activation counters are now cumulative, so the heartbeat emits wm_evicted/breakthroughs as totals plus wm_evicted_delta/ breakthroughs_delta (state-tracked change since the previous beat) — events between beats are no longer lost. Adds embed_eligible from /api/stats so coverage reads as embed_count/embed_eligible instead of the misleading absolute count, and surfaces auto_term_streak in the heartbeat stream. Replaces the false 'semantic seeding NOT implemented' comment: engram_activate embeds the query, seeds semantic top-K, gates propagation on cosine, and scores WM promotion semantically.	2026-07-31 08:41:41 -05:00
will.anderson	b0f4d6c493	self-review 2026-07-30: auto_term stopword filter, real idle_ms, bounded beginSession - awareness.el: curiosity auto_term was the raw first word of a WM label with no term-quality scoring — observed seeds included What, Colon, Prose, Context. Replaced the 7-word genre blocklist whack-a- mole with a delimited stopword membership test (function words + document-structure words); topical terms pass untouched. Verified live: seeds now ReasonEdit, Reasoning-model, Self-review. - routes.el + awareness.el: idle counter only reset on rare inbox synthesis-requests, so idle==pulse always (zero information). handle_request now stamps soul.last_activity_ts on every inbound HTTP request; heartbeat emits idle_ms = ms since last request (-1 until first request of a boot). - neuron-api.el: beginSession concatenated a depth-2 spread plus the unbounded self-hub neighbor dump — multi-MB response, doubled by wrapper re-escaping, socket died on every call. Now depth-1 and the hub dump dropped (identity loading has its own tool). Verified: beginSession returns instead of closing the socket.	2026-07-30 08:45:21 -05:00
will.anderson	627eb534a2	self-review 2026-07-28: close ISE lifecycle observability gaps - session_start now also posted to the HTTP Engram via ise_post: the local engram_node_full write never crossed to the observable stream (sync flows HTTP->soul only), so boots 5+ were invisible — last visible session_start was boot 4, two weeks ago - graceful shutdown emits a final ISE with boot/pulse/uptime; a boot with no shutdown event now reliably signals a crash/SIGKILL - empty /api/sync responses emit a sync_empty warn ISE instead of being silently skipped — unreachable engram no longer looks identical to quiet-but-healthy - sync backflow prune reads ENGRAM_ISE_RETENTION_MS instead of duplicating the 48h magic number server.el already honors	2026-07-28 08:37:39 -05:00
will.anderson	2b612ed5d4	self-review 2026-07-27: heartbeat carries activation observability Fold engram_act_stats_json() into the heartbeat ISE: wm_evicted and breakthroughs (per curiosity-scan activate call) plus embed_breaker_open — the failure mode embed_ok structurally cannot see (it pings the Ollama root, not the embed pipeline). WM-cap eviction, breakthrough-floor flooding, and silent lexical degradation are now one-glance diagnosable from telemetry.	2026-07-27 08:38:54 -05:00
will.anderson	8392f44c45	self-review 2026-07-26: heartbeat wm_churn + wm_top0_wm; fix streak counting on empty id - wm_churn: count of top-5 WM ids absent from previous beat — separates 'one stuck node' from 'whole WM frozen' without hand-correlating ISEs. - wm_top0_wm: leader's weight; a frozen anchor reads as a constant here. - Streak guard: before the runtime emitted id in wm_top JSON, json_get(...,"id") was always empty and the streak incremented on ""=="" every beat — wm_top0_streak measured uptime, not fixation. Empty id now resets the streak to 0.	2026-07-26 08:40:56 -05:00
will.anderson	58a9eda311	self-review 2026-07-25: break curiosity positive-feedback loop; observability for WM regime proactive_curiosity strengthened its top result unconditionally every scan — a positive-feedback fixed point that pinned auto_term on the same node's first word for hours ('Fast-slow' era). Strengthen now fires only when the top node changed since the last scan, and a 4-deep finst-style tabu ring (ACT-R declarative finsts) hard-excludes recently used auto terms (~2 min at the 30s cadence). Quoted-title guard stops '"The' leaking through the >3-char stopword check and seeding lexical floods. Heartbeat now pumps /api/embed-backfill?n=32 on the authoritative store (its lazy backfill had no production trigger; coverage stalled at 93/12175) and emits wm_saturated, wm_top0_streak, embed_backfilled, embed_count. Curiosity ISE emits auto_term_streak. The stuck-WM failure mode is now a one-glance signal instead of manual ISE cross-referencing.	2026-07-25 08:45:22 -05:00
will.anderson	fb0bb553f3	self-review 2026-07-24: boot counter — demote to telemetry weight, restore persistence via HTTP write-back 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.	2026-07-24 08:53:02 -05:00
will.anderson	9e59c51f3c	self-review 2026-07-23: title-derived Knowledge labels + Knowledge admitted to curiosity auto-term Sentinel labels (knowledge:captured/evolved/canonical) made every capture anonymous in WM telemetry — 35 identical wm_top entries — and starved the curiosity auto-term seeder, which derives scan seeds from WM top-10 labels and had returned empty on every scan since boot 6 because WM became Knowledge-dominated while Knowledge was excluded from seeding. - capture/evolve/promote now pass title (or empty → engram_node_full's content[:60] derivation) instead of sentinels - auto_term_try_slot admits Knowledge slots; sentinel-shaped labels (colon, no space) are skipped so legacy nodes cannot seed 'knowledge' - verified: probe capture labeled 'Label derivation probe 2026-07-23'	2026-07-23 08:39:16 -05:00
