Previously NodeLeaf.timestamp and AstNode::Branch.timestamp accepted
null or missing via a deserialize_timestamp_or_epoch fallback — legacy
entries in conversation.jsonl from before Branch timestamps existed
(and from before chrono serialization was wired up) would load with
UNIX_EPOCH as a sentinel. Downstream, node_timestamp_ns() returned
Option<i64> and callers had to handle None as "old entry, skip."
That second filter was silently dropping every candidate in
score_finetune_candidates when scoring an older session — the F6
screen showed "0 above threshold" even when max_divergence was
orders of magnitude above the threshold, because every entry was
failing the None check, not the divergence check.
The fix, in three parts:
1. src/bin/fix-timestamps.rs — one-off migration tool that walks a
conversation.jsonl, linearly interpolates timestamps for entries
stuck at UNIX_EPOCH (using surrounding real timestamps as anchors),
propagates to child leaves with per-sibling ns offsets, and bumps
any collisions by 1 ns for uniqueness. Ran against the current
session's log: 11887 entries, 72289 ns bumps, all unique.
2. context.rs — drop default_timestamp and
deserialize_timestamp_or_epoch. NodeLeaf and Branch now require a
present non-null timestamp on deserialize. Tests flip from
"missing/null → UNIX_EPOCH" to "missing/null → Err."
3. subconscious/learn.rs — node_timestamp_ns now returns i64, not
Option<i64>. The matching caller in score_finetune_candidates
collapses from a Some/None match to a single trained-set check.
mind/log.rs's oldest_timestamp no longer filters UNIX_EPOCH.
Every line currently on disk has already been migrated. Going
forward, new AstNodes always carry real timestamps (Utc::now() at
construction time), so the strict schema is the invariant, not an
aspiration.

All process management now goes through active_tools:
- TUI reads metadata (name, elapsed time)
- Ctrl+K aborts handles (KillOnDrop sends SIGTERM)

fetch_all_channels() connects to each daemon socket and calls

The consciousness binary now has its own idle state machine,
fed directly by TUI events:
- Key press → user_activity()
- Turn complete → response_activity()
- Render tick → decay_ewma(), snapshot to TUI
F5 thalamus screen shows presence/activity from the in-process
state instead of shelling out to poc-daemon status. No tmux
pane scraping, no socket RPC — the binary IS the presence.

Separates the Claude-specific daemon (idle timer, tmux pane detection,
prompt injection, RPC server, session hooks) from the universal
infrastructure (channels, supervisor, notify, daemon protocol).
thalamus/ now contains only substrate-independent code: the channel
client/supervisor, notification system, daemon_capnp protocol, and
shared helpers (now(), home()).
claude/ contains: idle.rs, tmux.rs, context.rs, rpc.rs, config.rs,
hook.rs (moved from subconscious/), plus the daemon CLI and server
startup code from thalamus/mod.rs.
All re-exports preserved for backward compatibility.

Only redraw when something actually changed. The 50ms render

Move thalamus/ (poc-daemon) source files into src/thalamus/ as a

function thalamus::run() with a thin poc-daemon binary for backward

- Copy thalamus source into src/thalamus/, fix crate:: -> super::
- Copy daemon.capnp into schema/, add to build.rs
- Re-export daemon_capnp at crate root (capnp codegen requires it)
- Add thalamus dependencies (capnp-rpc, tokio-util, toml, rustls, etc.)
- Keep thalamus/ subcrate for comparison

No more /tmp/ for persistent state, no more ~/.claude/ for our data.
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/.
Replaced debug_visible bool with an Overlay enum. F1 shows the
context/debug screen (Ctrl+D still works as alias), F2 shows the
agents screen (placeholder for now — will show surface, observe,

Both hippocampus/config.rs and agent/config.rs read from the same
config file (~/.config/poc-agent/config.json5). Having two separate
implementations was a footgun — load_context_groups() was duplicated
three times across the codebase.
Merged into src/config.rs:
- Config (memory settings, global get()/reload())
- AppConfig (agent backend/model settings, figment-based loading)
- SessionConfig (resolved agent session, renamed from agent's Config)
- Single ContextGroup/ContextSource definition used everywhere
Eliminated: duplicate load_context_groups(), duplicate ContextGroup
definition in identity.rs, duplicate config file path constants.

No more subcrate nesting — src/, agents/, schema/, defaults/, build.rs

poc-daemon (notification routing, idle timer, IRC, Telegram) was already
fully self-contained with no imports from the poc-memory library. Now it's
a proper separate crate with its own Cargo.toml and capnp schema.
poc-memory retains the store, graph, search, neuro, knowledge, and the
jobkit-based memory maintenance daemon (daemon.rs).

The clear sequence (Escape q C-c C-u) was disrupting Claude Code's
input state, causing nudge messages to arrive as blank prompts.
Simplified to just literal text + Enter.
Without -l, tmux send-keys treats spaces as key-name separators,
so multi-word messages like "This is your time" get split into
individual unrecognized key names instead of being typed as text.
This caused idle nudges to arrive as blank messages.
Add `poc-daemon afk` to immediately mark Kent as away, allowing the
idle timer to fire without waiting for the session active timeout.
Add `poc-daemon session-timeout <secs>` to configure how long after
the last message Kent counts as "present" (default 15min, persisted).
Fix block_reason() to report "kent present" and "in turn" states
that were checked in the tick but not in the diagnostic output.
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.
The daemon's claude -p subprocesses inherit hooks config, so every
agent LLM call triggered UserPromptSubmit → signal_user(), making the
idle timer think Kent was always active. The daemon was petting its
own tail.
Fix: set POC_AGENT=1 env var on all daemon claude subprocesses, and
return early from poc-hook when it's set.
Create lib.rs so all binaries can share library code directly instead
of shelling out to poc-memory. memory-search now calls search::search()
and store::Store::load() in-process instead of Command::new("poc-memory").
The load-context call still shells out (needs get_group_content moved
from main.rs to a library module).
Also: add search::format_results(), deduplicate extract_query_terms.
