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

- Remove MEMORY_FILES constant from identity.rs
- Add ContextGroup struct for deserializing from config
- Load context_groups from ~/.config/poc-agent/config.json5
- Check ~/.config/poc-agent/ first for identity files, then project/global
- Debug screen now shows what's actually configured
This eliminates the hardcoded duplication and makes the debug output
match what's in the config file.
The --block flag makes poc-agent read block until a complete response
is received (detected by a new user input line starting with '>'),
then exit. This enables smoother three-way conversations where one
instance can wait for the other's complete response without polling.
The implementation:
- Added cmd_read_inner() with block parameter
- Modified socket streaming to detect '>' lines as response boundaries
- Added --block CLI flag to Read subcommand
The --follow flag continues to stream indefinitely.
The --block flag reads one complete response and exits.
Neither flag exits immediately if there's no new output.
Split conversation pane into 2-char gutter + text column. Gutter shows
● markers at turn boundaries (Cyan for user, Magenta for assistant),
aligned with the input area's ' > ' gutter.
Key changes:
- Added Marker enum (None/User/Assistant) and parallel markers vec
- Track turn boundaries via pending_marker field
- New draw_conversation_pane() with visual row computation for wrapping
- Both gutter and text scroll synchronously by visual line offset
This fixes the wrapping alignment issue where continuation lines
aligned under markers instead of under the text.
Move file discovery (CLAUDE.md/POC.md, memory files, people/ glob),
prompt assembly, and context_file_info from config.rs into identity.rs.
All extracted functions are pure — they take paths and return strings,
with no dependency on AppConfig. config.rs calls into identity.rs
(one-way dependency).
config.rs: 663 → 440 lines (-223)
identity.rs: 232 lines (new)

Move context window construction (build_context_window, plan_context,
render_journal_text, assemble_context), token counting, error
classification, and related helpers from agent.rs into context.rs.
All extracted functions are pure — they take inputs and return values
with no mutable state access. State mutation stays in agent.rs
(compact, restore_from_log, load_startup_journal).
agent.rs: 1504 → 987 lines (-517)
context.rs: 365 lines (new)
Net: -152 lines (duplicate comments removed)

Move parse_leaked_tool_calls, strip_leaked_artifacts, and their
helpers (normalize_xml_tags, parse_qwen_tag, parse_xml_tool_call,
parse_json_tool_call) from agent.rs into their own module.
These functions have zero dependency on Agent or ContextState —
they're pure text parsing. All 4 existing tests move with them.
Reduces agent.rs by ~200 lines.

Replace homegrown wrapping math (wrapped_height, wrapped_height_line,
auto_scroll, force_scroll, wrapped_line_count) with ratatui's own
Paragraph::line_count() which exactly matches its rendering. The old
approach used ceiling division that didn't account for word wrapping,
causing bottom content to be clipped.
Also add terminal.clear() on resize to force full redraw — fixes the
TUI rendering at old canvas size after terminal resize.
Requires the unstable-rendered-line-info feature flag on ratatui.

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)
