feat: subconscious agent notes and instructions

Browse source 
Each consolidation agent now has its own persistent notes node
(subconscious-notes-{agent_name}) loaded via template substitution.
Agents can read their notes at the start of each run and write
updates after completing work, accumulating operational wisdom.

New node: memory-instructions-core-subconscious — shared framing
for background agents ("you are an agent of PoC's subconscious").

Template change: {agent_name} is substituted before {{...}} placeholder
resolution, enabling per-agent node references in .agent files.
