Track activity level as an EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average)
driven by turn duration. Long turns (engaged work) produce large boosts;
short turns (bored responses) barely register.
Asymmetric time constants: 60s boost half-life for fast wake-up, 5-minute
decay half-life for gradual wind-down. Self-limiting boost formula
converges toward 0.75 target — can't overshoot.
- Add activity_ewma, turn_start, last_nudge to persisted state
- Boost on handle_response proportional to turn duration
- Decay on every tick and state transition
- Fix kent_present: self-nudge responses (fired=true) don't update
last_user_msg, so kent_present stays false during autonomous mode
- Nudge only when Kent is away, minimum 15s between nudges
- CLI: `poc-daemon ewma [VALUE]` to query or set
- Status output shows activity percentage
- Send PING after 120s of silence, disconnect after 30s with no PONG
- Reset backoff to base when a working connection drops (was registered)
- Validate channel membership before sending to channels
The ping timeout catches silent disconnects where the TCP connection
stays open but OFTC has dropped us. Previously we'd sit "connected"
indefinitely receiving nothing.
Two fixes:
1. Reset activity timestamps to now() on daemon restart instead of
loading stale values and suppressing with fired=true. Timers
count cleanly from restart.
2. Fix poc-hook to read hook_event_name (not type) from Claude Code's
JSON input. The hook was being called but never matched any event.
Also switch daemon_cmd from spawn() to status() since the command
takes 2ms — no reason to fire-and-forget.

Replace manual arg parsing with clap derive for the full command set.
Single source of truth for command names, args, and help text.
Add notify_timeout (default 2min) — controls how long after last
response before notifications inject via tmux instead of waiting
for the hook. Separate from idle_timeout (5min) which controls
autonomous prompts.
Improve `poc-daemon status` to show both timers with elapsed/configured
and block reason, replacing the terse one-liner.
Add new Status fields over capnp: idleTimeout, notifyTimeout,
sinceActivity, sinceUser, blockReason.
ExecStart in poc-daemon.service now uses `daemon` subcommand.

Several idle timer fixes and new inspection capabilities:
- Persist idle_timeout across daemon restarts (was reverting to 5min default)
- Set fired=true on load to suppress immediate fire from stale timestamps
- Add human-readable ISO timestamps to daemon-state.json for debugging
- Use to_string_pretty for readable state file
- Make save() public for RPC access
- Remove kb_idle_minutes() — go purely off message timestamps
- Add maybe_prompt_notification() with idle gate so notifications only
inject via tmux when truly idle, not during active sessions
- Add debug_json() for full state inspection with computed values
(would_fire, block_reason, all timers)
New RPC commands (schema @16-18):
poc-daemon idle-timeout <secs> — set idle timeout
poc-daemon save — force state persistence
poc-daemon debug — dump full internal state as JSON
Also: save state on clean shutdown, route module notifications through
maybe_prompt_notification before submitting to queue.

Three fixes:
1. Use read_until + from_utf8_lossy instead of AsyncBufRead::lines(),
which returns Err on invalid UTF-8. IRC isn't guaranteed UTF-8 —
Latin-1, Yiddish, etc. would crash the reader loop.
2. Handle CTCP requests (messages wrapped in \x01). Reply to VERSION
queries so the server stops retrying, and skip CTCP for notification
generation.
3. Log outgoing messages from the "send" command with append_log() so
they appear in IRC logs alongside incoming traffic.

&str[..n] panics when n falls inside a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence.
This crashed the daemon when processing IRC messages containing
Hebrew/Yiddish characters (ehashman's messages hit byte 79-81).
Replace all byte-index truncation with chars().take(n).collect()
in tmux send_prompt preview, notification logging, and git context
truncation.

Move the notification daemon (IRC, Telegram, idle timer) and the
Claude Code hook binary into this repo as additional [[bin]] targets.
Single `cargo install --path .` now installs everything:
poc-memory — memory store CLI
memory-search — hook for memory retrieval
poc-daemon — notification/idle daemon (was claude-daemon)
poc-hook — Claude Code lifecycle hook (was claude-hook)
Renamed from claude-{daemon,hook} to poc-{daemon,hook} since the
infrastructure isn't tied to any specific AI assistant.
