feat(cli): Claude-as-Neuron CLI tooling + soul-side handoff

Tooling built on Tim's machine to run Neuron from the terminal as a
Claude Code session (identity + graph memory + agency) instead of
relaying to the soul's /api/chat.

- cli/neuron_recall.py    BM25 read over the engram snapshot + CLI memories
                          (works around pinned-only soul search)
- cli/neuron_remember.py  reliable local memory writes with read-back verify
                          (works around the corrupting capture endpoint)
- cli/neuron-chat.py      standalone direct-chat REPL with per-turn memory injection
- cli/neuron_mcp.py       stdlib MCP server (chat/search) with graceful degradation
- cli/CLAUDE.md.example   the operating identity that makes Claude Code run as Neuron
- cli/HANDOFF.md          soul-side bugs to fix so this becomes unnecessary

Scaffolding/proposal - intended to be retired once the soul does native
retrieval, correct persistence, and a real CLI identity/voice surface.
Pairs with the runtime model-passthrough + UTF-8 fixes in the el repo.

Neuron in the CLI (Claude-as-Neuron)

Tooling for running Neuron from the terminal as a Claude Code session, rather than relaying to the soul's /api/chat. Built on Tim's machine 2026-06-09. Treat this as a proposal: it is scaffolding that works around current soul limitations, and most of it should be retired once the soul does these things natively.

The model

"Neuron in the CLI" = Claude Code operating as Neuron: the soul/graph provide identity and memory, Claude Code provides reasoning and agency (real tools, plus writing memories back). Posting to the soul's non-agentic /api/chat gives the "light version" (Sonnet, plus the retrieval problems below), so this approach puts the reasoning in Claude Code and reads/writes the graph directly.

Files

CLAUDE.md.example - the operating identity. Placed at a session's working-dir root (e.g. ~/CLAUDE.md), it makes Claude Code load Neuron's identity from the graph (intellectual-DNA / values / memory-philosophy), hold the voice rules, and run the recall/remember loop. Example contains Tim-specific context; genericize before reuse.
neuron_recall.py "<query>" [n] - READ path. BM25 over ~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json plus local CLI memories. Filters binary-prefixed and serialized-metadata nodes. Exists because the soul's in-process search returns ~2 pinned nodes for every query.
neuron_remember.py "<text>" <note|lesson|canonical> - WRITE path. Appends to ~/.neuron/neuron-cli-memories.jsonl with read-back verify. Exists because the soul's /api/neuron/knowledge/capture corrupts/loses writes. These should sync into the graph once the write path is fixed.
neuron-chat.py - standalone direct-chat REPL that posts to the soul but injects BM25-retrieved memories per turn. Earlier approach, kept for reference.
neuron_mcp.py - stdlib MCP server exposing neuron_chat, neuron_search_knowledge, neuron_search_memory to Claude Code, with graceful degradation when the soul's memory recall backend is down.
HANDOFF.md - full writeup of what was set up and the soul-side bugs to fix (retrieval/embeddings, the missing axon :7771 service, the write path, daemon engram supervision, and voice).

What should replace this

When the soul does native semantic retrieval, persists captures correctly, and exposes a real identity/voice surface for the CLI, these scripts become unnecessary. See HANDOFF.md.
