Read RSS and Atom feeds, and speak about them only when asked (#258)

internal/rss parses RSS 2.0 and Atom, and polls each configured feed on its own
interval; internal/webfetch is the one door either of them uses to touch the
network. The poller writes items as notes with source "rss:<feed>" and nothing
else: the answer path reads them back when he asks "что нового в лентах?", and
nothing is announced on arrival. A feed that dispatched would be a nag, which is
why the plan's breaking-news rule was left out rather than built.

webfetch is where the limits live, as code rather than a paragraph: http(s)
only, an allowlist (the configured feeds' hosts) and a denylist, a 2 MiB body
cap, a 3-redirect cap, one request per host per second, and a refusal to connect
to any private address — checked in the dialer's Control hook so it holds for
every resolved address and every redirect hop, not just for a literal IP.

Off unless configured: no "feeds" block, no poller, no outbound request. How far
a feed was read is a config fact (rss:latest:<name>), so a restart does not
re-note yesterday's headlines.

+`internal/router/` has TWO layered engines. **The LLM router is now the default and it is
+on in deploy** — this section used to say it was wired `nil`, which stopped being true on
+2026-07-31.
 
-- **Target (REARCH.md):** LLM-as-router. One resident Qwen3-1.7B (`llmrouter.go`) emits
-  GBNF-constrained structured JSON, and the SAME model phrases replies. Embedder is demoted
-  from a routing gate to a RAG hint.
-- **Current stopgap:** `llmrouter` is wired `nil` (around `voice.go`), so the
-  `classifier.go` + `embedder.go` nearest-neighbour cascade actually runs. It routes by
-  similarity to frozen seed phrases — the known cause of weak RU query handling.
+- **LLM router (the intended design, REARCH.md):** the resident Qwen3-1.7B (`llmrouter.go`)
+  emits GBNF-constrained structured JSON, and the SAME model phrases replies. Embedder is
+  demoted from a routing gate to a RAG hint. Wired at `voice.go:214` via
+  `pickLLMRouter(cfg.Voice.UseLLMRouter(), llmClient)`; the flag is `voice.llm_router`
+  (`config.go`), `DefaultLLMRouter` is **on**, and `deploy/mavend.json` sets it `true`.
+- **Classifier cascade (the failure floor, not dead code):** `classifier.go` +
+  `embedder.go` nearest-neighbour over frozen seed phrases. It runs when the LLM router is
+  off, when there is no llama-server to talk to (`pickLLMRouter` logs that and degrades),
+  and on any per-turn LLM error. Do not delete it — routing by seed similarity is the known
+  cause of weak RU query handling, but a turn must never break on the model.
 
 Cascade order: `stage0.go` exact-match fast-path → LLM router (when non-nil) → classifier
 fallback. Any LLM error falls through to the classifier so a turn never breaks on the model.
 
+Measured on the 77-case RU fixture (`MODEL-BAKEOFF-31-07-2026.md`): the classifier scores
+36.8% full accuracy at p50 31ms; Qwen3-1.7B scores 67.5% intent-only / 72.7% through the
+cascade at p50 ≈2.7s. Accuracy roughly doubled, latency is ~90× worse, and that trade was
+accepted deliberately. `Confidence: 1.0` used to be hardcoded in `llmrouter.go`, so the LLM
+path could never ask for clarification (6/6 refusal cases missed on the fixture) — Vikunja
+#359. Fixed 31-07-2026 with structural signal (single-token utterance, keyless fact, act with
+no allowlisted fn) feeding the same stage-3 gate the classifier path already had — see
+`gateLLMDecision` in `router.go`. Note the second half of that bug: the LLM branch never
+consulted `r.threshold` at all, so a correct low confidence would have been discarded anyway.
+
+Re-measured on the fixture after the fix: **missed clarify 6/6 → 1**, at the cost of 3 false
+clarifies and 2.6pt of full accuracy (72.7% → 70.1%, intent-only 67.5% → 74.0%). Two of the
+three false clarifies are acts the model mis-routed and the gate caught — asking beats wrongly
+executing, so the fixture and the daemon disagree about what is correct there. The third,
+`"поужинал"`, is a real defect: **the single-token rule is an English intuition and does not
+transfer to Russian**, where one word is routinely a whole sentence. Narrow or drop it.

+
+---
+
+## Status 2026-08-01 — foundation shipped (Vikunja #248)
+
+**Shipped:** `internal/memeval` (not `internal/memory/eval.go` — `internal/store`
+imports `internal/memory` for the vector backend, so an evaluator that reads
+`store.Fact` there would close an import cycle). `Evaluator.Evaluate` reads
+`RecentFacts` / `RecentNotes` / `RecentNudges`, prompts the resident model under
+a GBNF grammar for at most three `{observation, confidence, suggested_action}`
+objects, drops anything under `min_confidence`, deduplicates against what earlier
+evaluations wrote, and records the rest as notes with source `infer:memory-eval`.
+Driver: `cmd/mavend/memoryeval.go`, its own goroutine on its own ticker. Config:
+the `memory_eval` block — **absent ⇒ the loop does not run**. Visibility: `/dash`
+already renders notes with their source, so evaluation output is visible with no
+UI change.
+
+**Deliberately not shipped — this is policy, not an unfinished edge:**
+
+- *Dispatching observations as care nudges (plan step 4).* An hourly LLM loop
+  with permission to speak is a machine for generating interruptions, and the
+  content is model-generated text about his own life. The evaluator has no
+  dispatcher reference at all, so it cannot reach a channel by accident. Wiring
+  it to `delivery.Dispatcher` is a separate decision with its own opt-in.
+- *Acting on `suggested_action`.* It is recorded inside the note text and
+  interpreted by nobody. No reminder, routine or fact is created.
+- *Writing observation embeddings.* Notes are written with a nil embedding, so
+  they stay out of the RAG recall pool. Feeding generated text back into the pool
+  it came from is how a small model starts citing its own guesses as evidence.
+
+**Deferred, wants a decision or another capability:**
+
+- *Plan step 6, the `/eval` IPC method and an evaluation-history view.* `/dash`
+  covers reading the output; a dedicated trace surface is worth building once
+  there is real output to look at, and it should probably show the prompt too.
+- *`RecentEvents`.* The plan lists it; the evaluator reads facts, notes and
+  nudges. Detected action/object events already drive pattern proposals (#43), and
+  duplicating them here would mostly re-derive that.
+- *Output quality is unmeasured.* There is no fixture for "did she notice
+  something true". The tests cover the machinery — empty store, confidence floor,
+  dedupe, own-notes exclusion, error handling — not the observations. Until
+  someone reads a week of real output on `/dash`, treat the wording and the
+  `min_confidence` default as unvalidated.

+## Status (2026-08-01) — partially shipped, deliberately narrowed
+
+Shipped on `overnight/behavior-profile`:
+
+- `internal/memory/behavior.go` — `BuildProfile` counts habits per weekday out of
+  self-facts: distinct-day counts (`MinHabitDays = 2`), a median time-of-day, and
+  `FormatWeekdayRU` / `FormatOverallRU` for the spoken answer.
+- `internal/router/habit.go` — `ParseHabitQuery`, which requires a habit marker
+  ("обычно", "каждую", "привычки", …) and parses the weekday deterministically.
+- `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go` — a `habits` query source, so "что я обычно делаю
+  по вторникам?" is answered.
+
+**Not shipped, and not to be shipped as written:**
+
+- *Step 3, LLM-generated profile stored as a fact.* The profile is COUNTED, not
+  generated. A 1.7B asked to summarise a year of habits produces fluent claims
+  about the owner's life that no row supports, and a wrong claim about him is the
+  most expensive kind of wrong maven can be. Counting is verifiable and cheap.
+- *Step 5, incremental updates on fact write.* There is no cache to keep fresh —
+  the profile is recomputed on the question, so a new fact is already in the next
+  answer. A cached profile that can disagree with its own rows is two truths.
+- *Step 4, proactive daily plan proposals via the dispatcher.* Maven is not a nag,
+  and a nudge at 08:00 every day proposing the day is the definition of one. The
+  sanctioned path from "she noticed a pattern" to "she acts on it" already exists:
+  `internal/pattern/detector.go` proposes a routine, and the owner accepts it on
+  `/routines`. It goes through him.
+
+Still open, if wanted later: `MethodGetBehaviorProfile` + a `/dash` panel (step 7).
+The counted profile needs no new IPC method to be *asked* about — the query source
+reads `RecentFacts` over the existing surface — so this is a display concern only.

+//     misreads "встреча была в четверг" as a future appointment would then wake
+//     him up about it. A candidate that is wrong is a line on a review page he
+//     dismisses in one click, which is the correct cost of a model being wrong
+//     about someone's mail.
+//   - No fact. A fact is a claim Maven will later recite as true. Nothing read
+//     out of a marketing mail deserves that standing.
+//   - No calendar event, no note, no action. Extraction writes candidates or
+//     writes nothing.
+//

+// else. It is never search input (CLAUDE.md: "his notes and facts are never

+//
+// The IMAP subset is deliberately tiny (LOGIN, SELECT, UID SEARCH, UID FETCH
+// with BODY.PEEK, LOGOUT). No IDLE: a poll every few minutes is what a task

+// Package memeval is background memory evaluation (Vikunja #248,
+// docs/plans/03-memory-evaluation.md).
+//
+// It lives beside internal/memory rather than inside it because
+// internal/store imports internal/memory for the vector-store backend, and an
+// evaluator has to read store.Fact / store.Note / store.Nudge — putting it in
+// internal/memory would close that import cycle.
+//
+// Every so often Maven reads back her own recent memory — facts, notes, the
+// nudges she sent — and asks the resident model what it notices: a habit that
+// stopped, a gap, something worth saying later. What comes back is written as
+// notes with source EvalNoteSource and nothing else happens. That restraint is
+// the design, not an unfinished edge:
+//
+//   - She does not speak here. There is no dispatcher, no channel, no nudge.
+//     An observation is a thought she wrote down; he reads it on /dash when he
+//     wants to. "Not a nag, not autonomous" (CLAUDE.md) is easy to violate with
+//     exactly this feature — an hourly loop with an LLM in it and permission to
+//     talk is a machine for generating interruptions — so the loop has no way
+//     to reach him at all. Turning observations into nudges is a separate
+//     decision with a separate opt-in, and it is deliberately NOT in this file.
+//   - She does not act. No reminder is created, no routine proposed, no fact
+//     written. The model's suggested_action is recorded as text inside the note
+//     and interpreted by nobody.
+//   - She says nothing about an empty store. No memory ⇒ no LLM call ⇒ no
+//     "observations" invented out of two facts. A 1.7B asked to find a pattern
+//     will always find one; the defence is not asking.
+//
+// Everything the evaluator writes is attributable: source is EvalNoteSource, so
+// an inferred observation can never be mistaken for something he said, and the
+// whole batch is one SQL delete away if the output turns out to be noise.

+//
+// The profile is COUNTED, not generated. docs/plans/09-behavioral-memory.md
+// asks for an LLM to write a behaviour profile daily and store it as a fact;
+// this does not do that, on purpose. A 1.7B asked to summarise a year of habits
+// will produce fluent claims about the owner's life that no row in the store
+// supports, and a wrong claim about him is the most expensive kind of wrong
+// maven can be. Counting distinct days per weekday is verifiable, cheap enough
+// to run on the question, and cannot invent a habit he does not have.
+//
+// Recomputed on read rather than cached as a fact for the same reason the store
+// is append-only: a cached profile can disagree with the rows it came from, and
+// then there are two truths. The plan's step 5 ("profile updates on fact write")
+// exists to keep a cache fresh; there is no cache, so a new fact is already in
+// the next answer.
+//
+// It is also read-only and unprompted-free. The plan's step 4 — a morning
+// dispatcher nudge proposing the day — is deliberately NOT here: maven is not a
+// nag, and proposing plans at 08:00 every day is the definition of one. Pattern
