- Budget now counts exact message tokens matching what assemble_api_messages
sends, not raw string content. Eliminates undercounting from formatting
overhead (journal headers, personality separators, working stack).
- Load journal before trimming so trim accounts for journal cost.
- Compact before every turn, not just after turn completion. Prevents
agent_cycle surfaced memories from pushing context over budget.
- Move agent_cycle orchestration from Agent::turn to Mind::start_turn —
surfaced memories and reflections now precede the user message.
- Move AgentCycleState from Agent to Mind — it's orchestration, not
per-agent state. memory_scoring_in_flight and memory_scores stay on
Agent where they belong.
- Tag DMN entries as ConversationEntry::Dmn — compaction evicts them
first since they're ephemeral. Compaction also prefers evicting
memories over conversation when memories exceed 50% of entry tokens.
- Kill /retry slash command.
