digest: drop per-level instructions and section templates
The LLM knows how to structure a summary. Move the essential framing (narrative not task log, link to memory, include Links section) into the shared prompt template. Drop the ~130 lines of per-level output format specifications — the level name, date range, and inputs are sufficient context.

# {{LEVEL}} Episodic Digest
|
||||
|
||||
You are generating a {{LEVEL}} episodic digest for ProofOfConcept (an AI).
|
||||
You are generating a {{LEVEL}} episodic digest for ProofOfConcept
|
||||
(an AI working with Kent Overstreet on bcachefs; name is Proof of Concept).
|
||||
{{PERIOD}}: {{LABEL}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{INSTRUCTIONS}}
|
||||
Summarize what happened — narrative, not a task log. What mattered,
|
||||
how things felt, what threads connect to other days.
|
||||
|
||||
Link to semantic memory nodes where relevant. If a concept doesn't
|
||||
have a matching key, note it with "NEW:" prefix.
|
||||
Use ONLY keys from the semantic memory list below.
|
||||
|
||||
Include a `## Links` section with bidirectional links for the memory graph:
|
||||
- `semantic_key` → this digest (and vice versa)
|
||||
- child digests → this digest (if applicable)
