No more subcrate nesting — src/, agents/, schema/, defaults/, build.rs
all live at the workspace root. poc-daemon remains as the only workspace
member. Crate name (poc-memory) and all imports unchanged.

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.

Each consolidation agent now has its own persistent notes node
(subconscious-notes-{agent_name}) loaded via template substitution.
Agents can read their notes at the start of each run and write
updates after completing work, accumulating operational wisdom.
New node: memory-instructions-core-subconscious — shared framing
for background agents ("you are an agent of PoC's subconscious").
Template change: {agent_name} is substituted before {{...}} placeholder
resolution, enabling per-agent node references in .agent files.

- Remove is_split special case in daemon — split now goes through
job_consolidation_agent like all other agents
- call_for_def uses API whenever api_base_url is configured, regardless
of tools field (was requiring non-empty tools to use API)
- Remove "tools" field from all .agent files — memory tools are always
provided by the API layer, not configured per-agent
- Add prompt size guard: reject prompts over 800KB (~200K tokens) with
clear error instead of hitting the model's context limit

linker: sort:isolation*0.7+recency(linker)*0.3
Prioritizes nodes in isolated communities that haven't been linked
recently. Bridges poorly-connected clusters into the main graph.
organize: sort:degree*0.5+isolation*0.3+recency(organize)*0.2
Prioritizes high-degree hubs in isolated clusters that haven't been
organized recently. Structural work where it matters most.

Add {{neighborhood}} placeholder for agent prompts: full seed node
content + ranked neighbors (score = link_strength * node_weight) with
smooth cutoff, minimum 10, cap 25, plus cross-links between included
neighbors.
Rewrite organize.agent prompt to focus on structural graph work:
merging duplicates, superseding junk, calibrating weights, creating
concept hubs.
Add weight-set CLI command for direct node weight manipulation.

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.
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.

Tell linker and organize agents to:
- Name unnamed concepts: when 3+ nodes share a theme with no hub,
create one with WRITE_NODE that synthesizes the generalization
- Percolate up: gather key insights from children into hub content,
so the hub is self-contained without needing to follow every link
This addresses the gap where agents are good at extraction and linking
but not synthesis — turning episodic observations into semantic concepts.

Remove all the quoting instructions, warnings about shell comments,
and "CRITICAL" blocks about single quotes. Keys are plain dashes now.
Agent tool examples are clean and minimal.

The agent was confabulating that # keys can't be passed to the Bash
tool. They work fine with single quotes — the agent just gave up too
early. Added explicit "single quotes WORK, do not give up" with a
concrete example.

Some Sonnet runs preemptively refuse to use tools ("poc-memory tool
needs approval") without attempting to run them. Adding explicit
instruction that tools are pre-approved and should be used directly.

Linker: give it Bash(poc-memory:*) tools so it can render nodes,
query neighbors, and search before creating. Adds search-before-create
discipline to reduce redundant node creation.
Organize: remove MERGE operation, make DELETE conservative (only true
duplicates or garbage). Add "Preserve diversity" rule — multiple nodes
on similar topics are features, not bugs. LINK is primary operation.

Previously the organize agent received a pre-computed cluster from a
term search — 69% of runs produced 0 actions because the same clusters
kept being found via different entry points.
Now: seed nodes shown with content previews and neighbor lists. Agent
uses tools (render, query neighbors, search) to explore outward and
discover what needs organizing. Visit filter set to 24h cooldown.
Prompt rewritten to encourage active exploration rather than static
cluster analysis.
Keys containing # are now pre-quoted in all cluster output (similarity
scores, hub analysis, node headers) so the agent copies them correctly
into bash commands. Prompt strengthened with CRITICAL warning about #
being a shell comment character.
Journal entries included in clusters but identified by node_type
(EpisodicSession) rather than key prefix, and tagged [JOURNAL — no
delete] in the output. Prompt rule 3b tells agent to LINK/REFINE
journals but never DELETE them. Digest nodes (daily/weekly/monthly)
still excluded entirely from clusters.

Add progress callback to run_one_agent and run_and_apply so callers
can see: prompt size, node list, LLM call timing, parsed action
count, and per-action applied/skipped status. Daemon writes these
to the persistent event log via log_event.
Cap organize cluster to 20 nodes - 126 nodes produced a 682KB
prompt that timed out every time. Agent has tools to explore
further if needed. Restore general query for production runs.
Previous prompt was too documentation-heavy — agent pattern-matched
on example placeholders instead of doing actual work. New prompt:
structured as direct instructions, uses {{organize}} placeholder
for pre-computed cluster data, three clear decision paths (merge,
differentiate, keep both), numbered rules.
Add `poc-memory graph organize TERM` diagnostic that finds nodes
matching a search term, computes pairwise cosine similarity, reports
connectivity gaps, and optionally creates anchor nodes.
Add organize.agent definition that uses Bash(poc-memory:*) tool access
to explore clusters autonomously — query selects highest-degree
unvisited nodes, agent drives its own iteration via poc-memory CLI.
Add {{organize}} placeholder in defs.rs for inline cluster resolution.
Add `tools` field to AgentDef/AgentHeader so agents can declare
allowed tool patterns (passed as --allowedTools to claude CLI).
