All 18 agents now include:
- {{node:memory-instructions-core}} — tool usage instructions
- {{node:memory-instructions-core-subconscious}} — subconscious framing
- {{node:subconscious-notes-{agent_name}}} — per-agent persistent notes
The subconscious instructions are additive, not a replacement for
the core memory instructions.

All 12 agents with WRITE_NODE/REFINE/END_NODE output format blocks
now rely on tool calls (poc-memory write/link-add/etc) via the
Bash(poc-memory:*) tool. Guidelines preserved, format sections removed.
Also changed linker query from type:episodic to all nodes — it was
missing semantic nodes entirely, which is why skills-bcachefs-* nodes
were never getting linked to their hubs.
Extractor is a graph neighborhood organizer, not a transcript miner.
Remove {{CONVERSATIONS}} that was incorrectly merged in. Keep the
new includes (core-personality, memory-instructions-core) and tools.

All 17 agents now include {{node:core-personality}} and
{{node:memory-instructions-core}} instead of duplicating tool
blocks and graph walk instructions in each file. Stripped
duplicated tool/navigation sections from linker, organize,
distill, and evaluate. All agents now have Bash(poc-memory:*)
tool access for graph walking.

Nodes actively found by search now show "Search hits: N ← actively
found by search, prefer to keep" in both the node section (seen by
extractor, linker, etc.) and rename candidate listings.
Extractor and rename prompts updated to respect this signal — merge
into high-hit nodes rather than demoting them, skip renaming nodes
that are working well in search.
Shift from pattern abstraction (creating new nodes) to distillation
(refining existing nodes, demoting redundancies). Priority order:
merge redundancies > file into existing > improve existing > create new.
Query changed to neighborhood-aware: seed → spread → limit, so the
extractor works on related nodes rather than random high-priority ones.
The four knowledge agents (observation, extractor, connector,
challenger) were hardcoded in knowledge.rs with their own node
selection logic that bypassed the query pipeline and visit tracking.
Now they're .agent files like the consolidation agents:
- extractor: not-visited:extractor,7d | sort:priority | limit:20
- observation: uses new {{CONVERSATIONS}} placeholder
- connector: type:semantic | not-visited:connector,7d
- challenger: type:semantic | not-visited:challenger,14d
The knowledge loop's run_cycle dispatches through defs::run_agent
instead of calling hardcoded functions, so all agents get visit
tracking automatically. This means the extractor now sees _facts-*
and _mined-transcripts nodes that it was previously blind to.
~200 lines of dead code removed (old runner functions, spectral
clustering for node selection, per-agent LLM dispatch).
New placeholders in defs.rs:
- {{CONVERSATIONS}} — raw transcript fragments for observation agent
- {{TARGETS}} — alias for {{NODES}} (challenger compatibility)
