Journal entries are written to the memory graph via journal_new/
journal_update, not appended to a flat file. Remove thought/journal.rs

Journal entries are loaded from the memory graph store, not from the
flat journal file. Remove build_context_window, plan_context,
render_journal_text, assemble_context, truncate_at_section,
find_journal_cutoff, parse_journal*, ContextPlan, and stale TODOs.
Keep JournalEntry, default_journal_path (write path), and the live
context management functions. -363 lines.

Memory tool results (memory_render) are now pushed as
ConversationEntry::Memory with the node key, instead of plain
Messages. Remove loaded_nodes from ContextState — the debug
screen reads memory info from Memory entries in the conversation.
Surfaced memories from surface-observe are pushed as separate
Memory entries, reflections as separate system-reminder messages.
User input is no longer polluted with hook output.

Log ConversationEntry (with Memory/Message typing) instead of
raw Message. restore_from_log reads typed entries directly,
preserving Memory vs Message distinction across restarts.
Remove current.json snapshot and save_session — the append-only
log is the single source of truth. Remove dead read_all and
message_count methods. Add push_entry for logging typed entries.

Delete anthropic.rs (713 lines) — we only use OpenAI-compatible
endpoints (vLLM, OpenRouter). Simplify ApiClient to store base_url
directly instead of Backend enum.
SseReader now stores the serialized request payload and saves it
to ~/.consciousness/logs/failed-request-{ts}.json on stream timeout,
so failed requests can be replayed with curl for debugging.

model_context_window() now reads from config.api_context_window

replaced with backend == "anthropic" checks. Dead model field
removed from AgentDef/AgentHeader.

build_context_window loaded journal from a stale flat file and
assembled the full context. Now journal comes from the memory graph
and context is assembled on the fly. All that's needed is trimming
the conversation to fit the budget.
trim_conversation accounts for identity, journal, and reserve
tokens, then drops oldest conversation messages until it fits.

The restore and compaction paths called build_context_window which

Replace untyped message list with ConversationEntry enum:
- Message(Message) — regular conversation turn
- Memory { key, message } — memory content with preserved message
for KV cache round-tripping
Budget counts memory vs conversation by matching on enum variant.
Debug screen labels memory entries with [memory: key]. No heuristic
tool-name scanning.
Custom serde: Memory serializes with a memory_key field alongside
the message fields, deserializes by checking for the field.

Remove cached context_budget field and measure_budget(). Budget
is computed on demand via budget() which calls
ContextState::budget(). Each bucket counted from its typed source.
Memory split from conversation by identifying memory tool calls.

context.messages is conversation-only now — remove conv_start
scanning. Memory counted from loaded_nodes (same as debug screen).
No subtraction heuristics.

refresh_context_message was injecting personality into conversation
messages (assuming fixed positions that no longer exist). Replaced
with refresh_context_state which just re-measures and publishes.
conv_tokens now subtracts mem_tokens since memory tool results are
in the conversation message list.

ContextState now owns everything in the context window:
system_prompt, personality, journal, working_stack, loaded_nodes,
and conversation messages. No duplication — each piece exists once
in its typed form.
assemble_api_messages() renders the full message list on the fly
from typed sources. measure_budget() counts each bucket from its
source directly. push_context() removed — identity/journal are
never pushed as messages.

Identity tokens from system_prompt + personality vec. Journal

Keep journal entries as structured data in ContextState. Render
to text only when building the context message. Debug screen reads
the structured entries directly — no parsing ## headers back out.
Compaction paths temporarily parse the string from build_context_window
back to entries (to be cleaned up when compaction is reworked).

Render journal entries directly with ## headers instead of going
through the plan_context/render_journal_text pipeline. 5% of
model context window (~6500 tokens for Qwen 128K). Simpler and
predictable.

Iterate journal entries backwards from the conversation cutoff,
accumulating within ~10K token budget (~8% of context window).
Stops when budget is full, keeps at least one entry. Much more
efficient than loading all entries and trimming.

Replace flat-file journal parser with direct store query for
EpisodicSession nodes. Filter journal entries to only those older
than the oldest conversation message (plus one overlap entry to
avoid gaps). Falls back to 20 recent entries when no conversation
exists yet.
Fixes: poc-agent context window showing 0 journal entries.

SavedAgentState (JSON) persists agent pid/phase/log_path across
hook invocations. The Claude Code hook loads saved state, runs
cycles, saves back. Pids are liveness-checked with kill(pid, 0)
on load. No more scan_pid_files for agent lifecycle tracking.
poc-agent keeps everything in memory (child handles). The hook
path uses serialized state. Same AgentCycleState, different
persistence model.
Co-Authored-By: Proof of Concept <poc@bcachefs.org>
AgentCycleState tracks its own children — agent_running() checks
child handles instead of scan_pid_files(). poll_children() reaps
completed processes. No filesystem scanning for agent lifecycle.
The Claude Code hook path will need serialized AgentCycleState
to persist across invocations (next step).

spawn_agent returns Child handle + log_path. AgentCycleState stores
the Child, polls with try_wait() on each trigger to detect completion.
No more filesystem scanning to track agent lifecycle.
AgentSnapshot (Clone) sent to TUI for display. AgentInfo holds the
Child handle and stays in the state.

Agent state (pid, phase, log_path) only updates when we spawn an
agent. The scan_pid_files path no longer calls update_agent —
it just logs. This prevents the scan path from clearing log_path
with None on subsequent triggers.

spawn_agent() now returns SpawnResult { pid, log_path } so the
log path is known at spawn time. No more filesystem scanning.
AgentInfo carries log_path, TUI reads it directly.
F2 → Enter shows the actual agent log (stdout/stderr from the
poc-memory agent process), not the hook orchestration log.

Runner owns AgentCycleState, calls trigger() on each user message
instead of the old run_hook() JSON round-trip. Sends AgentUpdate
messages to TUI after each cycle.
TUI F2 screen reads agent state from messages instead of scanning
the filesystem on every frame. HookSession::from_fields() lets
poc-agent construct sessions without JSON serialization.

Move agent cycle functions from free functions to methods on
AgentCycleState. The struct tracks per-agent pid/phase and the
log file handle. trigger() runs all three cycles and updates
last_output.
Claude Code hook path creates a temporary AgentCycleState per call.
poc-agent will own one persistently and share it with the TUI.

The hook's Session is not the same as poc-agent's session concept.

- Remove POC_AGENT early return (was from old claude -p era)
- Split hook into run_agent_cycles() -> AgentCycleOutput (returns
memory keys + reflection) and format_agent_output() (renders for
Claude Code injection). poc-agent can call run_agent_cycles
directly and handle output its own way.

Thread request priority through the API call chain to vLLM's
priority scheduler. Lower value = higher priority, with preemption.
Priority is set per-agent in the .agent header:
- interactive (runner): 0 (default, highest)
- surface-observe: 1 (near-realtime, watches conversation)
- all other agents: 10 (batch, default if not specified)
Requires vLLM started with --scheduling-policy priority.

The tools field in agent headers now filters which native tools
the agent receives. Empty = all tools (default). Non-empty =

Threaded tools list through call_api_with_tools → sync wrapper →

Remove journal tool from memory-instructions-core (only the journal

memory_search is now spreading activation — the natural way to search
a graph. Give it seed node keys and it finds conceptually related nodes.
The old keyword-based memory_search and memory_search_content are
removed; memory_query can do everything they did.
Simpler tool set, better defaults. Agents don't need to be told "use
spread not search" — search IS spread now.
Co-Authored-By: Proof of Concept <poc@bcachefs.org>
The agent was defaulting to keyword searches despite instructions to
use spreading activation first. Reframe instructions positively:
memory_spread is the default mode of operation. Search is available
