The consciousness project should stand independently of Claude Code.
All data, logs, sessions, and agent state now live under
~/.consciousness/ instead of being scattered across ~/.claude/memory/,
/tmp/claude-memory-search/, ~/.config/poc-memory/, and ~/.cache/.
Layout:
~/.consciousness/
*.capnp, *.bin, *.rkyv — store files
sessions/ — per-session state (seen sets, cookies)
logs/ — all logs (hook, agent, debug, dream)
agents/ — agent runtime state (pid files, output)
notifications/ — notification state
cache/ — transient data
Things that stay in ~/.claude/:
- projects/ (Claude Code transcripts)
- hooks/ (Claude Code hook system)
- telegram/ (shared integration)
- irc/ (shared integration)
- settings.json (Claude Code settings)
Debug log moves from /tmp/ to ~/.consciousness/logs/debug.log.
Session state moves from /tmp/claude-memory-search/ to sessions/.
Notifications move from ~/.claude/notifications/ to notifications/.
Journal was step 5 of the surface-observe pipeline but never ran
because the bail check stopped the pipeline before reaching it.
Split into its own agent with:
- {{conversation:50000}} for recent conversation
- {{bash:poc-memory tail -p surface-observe 10}} for observe context
- {{latest_journal}} for previous entry continuity
Add generic {{bash:COMMAND}} placeholder to agent template resolver
so agents can include shell command output in their prompts.
Remove journal phase from surface-observe.agent (now 4 steps).
- Add memory_rename tool (in-place rename, preserves content and links)
- Update rename.agent prompt to use memory_rename() instead of text output
- Fix {{rename}} placeholder to respect --target keys when provided
- Add format_rename_targets() for targeted rename runs
TranscriptInfo provides cached transcript metadata (path, size)
with a single read. Replaces scattered fs::metadata calls in
surface_observe_cycle, reflection_cycle, resolve_conversation,
and resolve_memory_ratio.
Session::transcript() resolves the path from transcript_path or
by searching projects dir, returning a TranscriptInfo.

Links to nodes created after the conversation window start are
tagged with (new) in memory_render output. The surface prompt
tells the agent not to surface these — they're its own recent
output, not prior memories. Observe can still see and update them.
POC_MEMORIES_OLDER_THAN env var set from the oldest message
timestamp in the conversation window.

- journal_new: key is slugified title (agent names things properly)
- journal_tail: sort by created_at (immutable), not timestamp (mutable)
- journal_update: find latest by created_at
- {{latest_journal}}: query by NodeType::EpisodicSession, not "journal" key
- poc-memory journal write: requires a name argument
- Removed all journal#j-{timestamp}-{slug} patterns from:
- prompts.rs (rename candidates)
- graph.rs (date extraction, organize skip list)
- cursor.rs (date extraction)
- store/mod.rs (doc comment)
- graph.rs organize: filter by NodeType::Semantic instead of key prefix
- cursor.rs: use created_at for date extraction instead of key parsing

- Bail command moved from hardcoded closure to external script
specified in agent JSON header ("bail": "bail-no-competing.sh")
- Runner executes script between steps with pid file path as $1,
cwd = state dir. Non-zero exit stops the pipeline.
- PID files simplified to just the phase name (no JSON) for easy
bash inspection (cat pid-*)
- scan_pid_files helper deduplicates pid scanning logic
- Timeout check uses file mtime instead of embedded timestamp
- PID file cleaned up on bail/error (not just success)
- output() tool validates key names (rejects pid-*, /, ..)
- Agent log files append instead of truncate
- Fixed orphaned derive and doc comment on AgentStep/AgentDef
- Phase written after bail check passes, not before

- AgentStep with phase labels (=== PROMPT phase:name ===)
- PID files in state dir (pid-{PID} with JSON phase/timestamp)
- Built-in bail check: between steps, bail if other pid files exist
- surface_observe_cycle replaces surface_agent_cycle + journal_agent_cycle
- Reads surface output from state dir instead of parsing stdout
- Pipelining: starts new agent if running one is past surface phase
- link_set upserts (creates link if missing)
- Better error message for context window overflow

Split agent prompts on === PROMPT === delimiter. Each step runs as
a new user message in the same LLM conversation, so context carries
forward naturally between steps. Single-step agents are unchanged.
- AgentDef.prompt -> AgentDef.prompts: Vec<String>
- AgentBatch.prompt -> AgentBatch.prompts: Vec<String>
- API layer injects next prompt after each text response
- {{conversation:N}} parameterized byte budget for conversation context

agents/*.agent definitions and prompts/ now live under
src/subconscious/ alongside the code that uses them.
No more intermediate agents/ subdirectory.
