The thalamus: sensory relay, always-on routing. Perfect name for the
daemon that bridges IRC, Telegram, and the agent.

Move poc-agent (substrate-independent AI agent framework) into the
memory workspace as a step toward using its API client for direct
LLM calls instead of shelling out to claude CLI.
Agent prompt improvements:
- distill: rewrite from hub-focused to knowledge-flow-focused.
Now walks upward from seed nodes to find and refine topic nodes,
instead of only maintaining high-degree hubs.
- distill: remove "don't touch journal entries" restriction
- memory-instructions-core: add "Make it alive" section — write
with creativity and emotional texture, not spreadsheet summaries
- memory-instructions-core: add "Show your reasoning" section —
agents must explain decisions, especially when they do nothing
- linker: already had emotional texture guidance (kept as-is)
