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.

Observation agent was getting 261KB prompts (5 × 50KB chunks) —
too much for focused mining. Now agents can set count, chunk_size,
and chunk_overlap in their JSON header. observation.agent set to
count:1 for smaller, more focused prompts.
Also moved task instructions after {{CONVERSATIONS}} so they're
at the end of the prompt where the model attends more strongly.

- observation.agent: rewritten to navigate graph and prefer refining
existing nodes over creating new ones. Identity-framed prompt,
goals over rules.
- poc-memory edit: opens node in $EDITOR, writes back on save,
no-op if unchanged
- daemon: remove extra_workers (jobkit tokio migration dropped it),
remove sequential chaining of same-type agents (in-flight exclusion
is sufficient)

- 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

New placeholder resolves to the 20 highest-degree nodes, skipping
neighbors of already-selected hubs so the list covers different
regions of the graph. Gives agents a starting point for linking
new content to the right places.
Added to observation.agent prompt.

Add --debug flag that prints the full prompt and LLM response to
stdout, making it easy to iterate on agent prompts. Also adds
prompt field to AgentResult so callers can inspect what was sent.

Update the observation agent prompt to:
- Check the journal around transcript timestamps before extracting
- Link extractions back to relevant journal entries
- Use poc-memory tools directly (search, render, write, link-add)
- Prefer REFINE over WRITE_NODE
- Simplified and focused prompt

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.

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)
