router: stage 0 claims the task marker before the model renames it (V-467)

Spoken capture was dead. "добавь в задачи купить молоко" routed act, so the
gate found no allowlisted fn and asked "Что сделать?", and the list stayed
empty. Capture rides the note intent by design (#130, no eighth intent), and
nothing under actionNote was reached any more. The model also rewrote the
payload on the way — "купить молоко" came back as "сделать покупку молока",
and a task must read as the words he said.

TaskCaptureGrammar answers it at stage 0, the same place the agenda rules
went. It matches any utterance and lets ParseTaskCapture refuse, so the
marker list stays data. Three phrasings he used are added to that list:
"запиши в список дел" and the two next to it were missing.

The other deterministic matchers were checked for the same exposure. They
are all question-shaped — money, habit, feed, day plan, task list, calendar —
and a question lands on query, which is where they already sit. Capture was
the only imperative among them, which is why only it was taken.

ru-note-006 is the fixture case. The classifier alone cannot pass it, and the
hash baseline drops by that one case; the daemon answers it at stage 0.

+name: pickup
+description: Start a work session on a Maven task. Runs task start, reads the brief and the disposable handoff, restates the assumption set, and waits for correction before touching code. Use at the start of any session that continues earlier work, when the user says "pickup", "continue", "resume", or names a Vikunja task id.
+---
+
+# Pickup
+
+The point of this skill is the pause in step 5. Every wasted session in this repo
+started with an agent that inferred the goal instead of stating it back.
+
+## 0. Get on the branch
+
+```sh
+task start <vikunja-id>
+```
+
+`~/.local/bin/task` owns the branch, the identity and the PR. It cuts
+`task/<id>-<slug>` off `origin/master` and sets the commit author to the `claude`
+gitea user. It writes `TASK.md` from the Vikunja task, and pulls any waiting
+review comments into `.task/review-comments.md`. Do not hand-roll any of that.
+
+`TASK.md` is the brief and it is immutable. If it says a PR already exists, this
+is a review-fix session and not new work. Read the comments first.
+
+## 1. Read the handoff
+
+`HANDOFF.md` at the repo root, if it exists. It is gitignored, it belongs to one
+session, and it holds only what is needed to resume. Treat it as a claim from the
+previous agent, not as truth. It can be stale or wrong.
+
+If there is no handoff, that is normal. It means the last session closed clean.
+
+## 2. Read the durable state
+
+In this order, and stop as soon as you have enough:
+
+- The Vikunja task, by id. Project Maven is ID 2, MCP at `http://localhost:9100/mcp`.
+  The task description and its comments hold the goal, the constraints, and the
+  assumption ledger. This outranks the handoff on every conflict.
+- `CLAUDE.md`, the section that covers the area you are about to touch.
+- The one file under `docs/` that owns the area. Check its `Last verified` line.
+  If the sha is behind the code you are reading, say so in step 4 and trust the code.
+
+Do not read the dated files under `docs/evals/`. They are measurements from one day,
+never updated. Read one only when you need the number it recorded.
+
+If no task id is known, ask for one before doing anything else. Work without a task
+is work nobody can resume.
+
+## 3. Look at the ground
+
+`git status`, `git log --oneline -5`, and the diff on the current branch. What the
+repo says beats what any document says.
+
+## 4. Restate, then stop
+
+Write at most five bullets and stop. Do not write code, do not open files to "check
+one thing first", do not start with a small safe change.
+
+```
+Task:        V-359, one line.
+Done:        what is already on the branch.
+Next:        the one thing this session does.
+Constraints: what would make this wrong.
+Assuming:    the beliefs that, if false, waste the session.
+```
+
+Then ask: is this right? Wait for the answer.
+
+A corrected assumption goes into the Vikunja task as a comment, not into the handoff.
+The handoff dies tonight. The task does not.
+
+## 5. Then begin
+
+- Delete `HANDOFF.md`. It has been consumed and must not outlive this step.
+- On master, cut the branch: `scripts/task-branch.sh <id> <slug>`.
+- One task per session. When context passes roughly half, run `/wrap` rather than
+  pushing on. A compacted session is a session that forgot why it made a choice.

+name: wrap
+description: Close a Maven work session cleanly. Runs the tests, updates the durable docs, commits in reviewable slices with the Vikunja ref, pushes so the PR opens, records state in Vikunja, and leaves a disposable handoff only if work remains. Use when the user says "wrap", "wrap up", "done for now", or when context passes roughly half.
+---
+
+# Wrap
+
+Run every step. A partial wrap is worse than none, because the next session trusts
+the parts that did run.
+
+## 1. Prove it works
+
+`make test`. If something fails, fix it or say plainly in the handoff and in Vikunja
+that it fails, with the output. Never wrap on an untested claim.
+
+## 2. Update the durable docs
+
+Ask what a future agent would have to learn the hard way, and write that down.
+
+- `CLAUDE.md` when a fact an agent needs before touching code has changed: routing
+  behaviour, a measured number, a flag default, a constraint. A commit that changed
+  routing or phrasing without touching the matching CLAUDE.md section is a bug.
+  Correct stale text in place. Do not append a new paragraph next to the wrong one.
+- `AGENTS.md` when the recipe to build, run or preview changed.
+- The one file under `docs/` that owns the area, plus its `Last verified: <date> @ <sha>`
+  line. Only a doc directly under `docs/` carries that line.
+- A new dated file under `docs/evals/` when you measured something. Never edit an
+  existing dated file. A newer measurement is a new file, and the living doc points
+  at it.
+
+Nothing that must survive tonight goes anywhere else. Not into the handoff, not into
+a commit message, not into a comment in the code.
+
+## 3. Commit in slices
+
+Under 300 changed lines per commit in non-markdown files, enforced by `.githooks/pre-commit`.
+Markdown is exempt and may land as one batch.
+
+Each commit is one idea, subject in the repo's voice, lowercase area prefix, and it
+ends with the Vikunja ref:
+
+```
+router: narrow the single-token rule (V-359)
+```
+
+If a change genuinely cannot split under 300 lines, say why in the commit body before
+reaching for `--no-verify`.
+
+## 4. Land it
+
+```sh
+task pr
+```
+
+It refuses a dirty tree, pushes, opens or refreshes the PR against the repo default
+branch, labels the Vikunja task in-review, comments the PR url on it, and pushes an
+ntfy. Do not push by hand and do not call `tea` yourself.
+
+## 5. Record what `task pr` cannot know
+
+Comment on the Vikunja task: what you measured, what is still open. List every
+assumption that turned out to be wrong. If the session found new work, create a task
+for it now rather than describing it in prose.
+
+This step is what makes the handoff disposable.
+
+## 6. Leave the handoff, or leave none
+
+If the task is finished, delete `HANDOFF.md` and stop. An empty root is the correct
+end state.
+
+If work remains, write `HANDOFF.md` with nothing but what the next agent needs to
+resume, and no history:
+
+```markdown
+# Handoff — <date>
+
+Task: V-359 <one line>
+Branch: task/359-<slug>, cut from master
+
+## Where I stopped
+<two sentences, mid-thought detail that is nowhere else>
+
+## Next action
+<the single concrete next step>
+
+## Do not
+<the trap I nearly fell into, or the approach already ruled out>
+```
+
+Nothing else goes in it. No summary of what landed, that is in git and Vikunja. No
+design rationale, that is in `docs/`. No fact an agent needs on any task, that is in
+`CLAUDE.md`. If a line in the handoff would still matter next week, it is in the wrong
+file.

-beyond the model and tts work, the useful additions are mostly around **reliability, context, and reach**, not more intelligence.

-## highest-value additions
-
-### 1. unified event intake
-
-maven should receive normalized events from:
-
-* praxis
-* calendar
-* telegram
-* local notifications
-* system/service health
-* manual checklists
-* eventually email bridges
-
-one internal envelope:
-
-```go

-    Source     string
-    Kind       string
-    EntityIDs  []string
-    Title      string
-    Body       string
-    Priority   string
-    OccurredAt time.Time
-    Payload    json.RawMessage
-}
-```
-
-this gives digestion one stable input instead of source-specific logic.
-
----
-
-### 2. explicit morning routine engine — **core engine done (2026-07-20)**
-
-`internal/morning` — pure checklist engine, mirrors `internal/loop`/
-`internal/routine`'s no-I/O contract. `Evaluate(routine, facts, now)` answers
-"what's still missing" any time (order-independent — checks facts, not
-sequence); `Due(routines, facts, last, now)` fires the once-per-day nag only
-at `NudgeAt` (defaults to window end) and only when something's unevidenced,
-with a `last`-map dedupe identical in shape to `routine.Due`'s cold-start/
-last-fire tracking. Evidence is just a fact timestamped inside today's
-window — manual (voice-tapped) and inferred (another daemon writing the same
-key) are indistinguishable, satisfying the manual/inferred requirement for
-free. Weekday/weekend variants are two `Routine`s with different `Weekdays`
-sets under different names. Wired into `config.MorningRoutineConfig` +
-`cmd/mavend/tick.go`'s `fireMorningRoutines` (reads only the fact keys the
-configured items reference, dispatches through the normal severity/presence
-routing table, body is literal joined item labels — not LLM-phrased, same
-no-hallucination rationale as cron routines). 13 unit tests in
-`internal/morning/morning_test.go`.
-
-Added since (2026-07-20, same day): a read-only `/morning` page in mavweb —
-`ipc.CoreAPI.MorningStatus` (new wire method, mirrors `TickTrace`'s
-daemon-cache-only shape: the store adapter errors, `daemonAPI` serves it from
-a `tickLoop.morningStatus` closure) returns each routine's active/window/
-per-item done state, server-rendered same as `/trace` (no live-update loop —
-checklist state moves on minutes, not seconds).
-
-Not yet done: no config wired in `deploy/mavend.json` (no morning routines
-configured on homesrv yet — add items there when the medicine/water/pets
-fact keys the phone/desktop write are settled), no voice query path for
-"what did I miss this morning" (Evaluate supports it; nothing calls it yet),
-no way to create/edit routines from the web UI — construction still means
-hand-editing config, deliberately deferred: routines are operator-declared
-config (like cron routines), and a CRUD editor would mean moving them to a
-DB table + hot-reload, a bigger change than this pass.
-
-not ordinary reminders.
-
-support:
-
-* required morning items
-* order-independent completion
-* soft time windows
-* skipped-step detection
-* one nudge, not repeated spam
-* manual and inferred completion evidence
-* weekend/weekday variants
-
-example:
-
-```text
-08:00–11:00
-- medicine
-- water
-- pets
-- check praxis attention
-```
-
-maven should know what is still missing, not merely fire four timers.

-
-### 3. cross-device presence
-
-**status (2026-07-20):** the hysteresis engine and 3 of the listed signals are
-already built and wired live: `internal/store/presence.go` (noisy-OR combiner
-+ Schmitt-trigger bucket resolve), fed by `desk_active` (workstation, via
-`scripts/desk-active.sh` posting to `/api/signal`), `page_heartbeat` (mavweb
-tab, `app.js`), and `wg_handshake` (`mavpoll` polling `wg show`) — threaded
-into the tick loop via `internal/loop/gather.go`. Not done: phone-reachable,
-homesrv-available, audio-output, and active-maven-client signals from the
-list below are still missing.
-
-a small presence daemon on each trusted device:
-
-* workstation active/idle
-* phone reachable
-* homesrv available
-* last keyboard/mouse activity
-* wireguard presence
-* current audio output
-* active maven client
-
-mavend receives only compact state, not raw activity logs.
-
-useful for:
-
-* choosing delivery channel
-* suppressing voice while away
-* surfacing reminders when you return
-* knowing whether an agent result should be spoken or sent as text
-
----
-
-### 4. interruption policy — **done (2026-07-20), turned out to already be built**
-
-audited the existing code before writing anything new: `internal/loop.Gate`
-already answers deliver_now vs. drop (quiet-hours/cooldown/snooze/presence/
-calendar-busy), and `cmd/mavend/tick.go`'s `digestQ` + `config.DigestConfig`
-already implement queue/digest (low-severity nudges batch into one
-notification, flushed on window elapsed or max-items reached). The four
-outcomes below were already covered by these two mechanisms; nothing new to
-build for the core policy.
-
-Gap that *was* real: `deploy/mavend.json` had no `digest` block, so batching
-was disabled in prod despite being fully implemented. Fixed — see the config
-change alongside this note.
-
-before delivering anything, evaluate:
-
-```text
-urgency
-current activity
-quiet hours
-recent nudges
-available channels
-whether already surfaced
-```
-
-result:
-
-```text
-deliver_now
-queue
-digest
-drop
-```
-
-this prevents maven from becoming annoying once praxis and other sources start producing more data.

-### 5. entity-aware memory — **done (2026-07-20)**
-
-`03fa52d`/`9876187` (Vikunja #279): facts gain `Subject`/`EntityID`/
-`ResolutionState`; an async enrichment worker resolves free-text subjects to
-canonical Nexus entity_ids (mirrors Praxis's enrichment pattern). Ambiguous
-or unreachable Nexus never guesses — the fact stays `pending` or terminal
-`ambiguous`. Voice-tapped facts (`IntentFact`) now flow into the enrichment
-queue automatically via an optional `Subject` field on `WriteFactReq` (old
-callers unaffected).

+## The sibling services (Nexus, Praxis, Hexis)
+
+Maven is the conversational front end of a four-service ecosystem. The other three
+live in sibling repos next to this one.
+
+| Service | Repo | Port | Answers |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Nexus | `../nexus` | 9740 | who or what is this name |
+| Praxis | `../praxis` | 8989 | what needs attention |
+| Hexis | `../hexis` | 9741 | what can be run, and running it |
+
+Division of labour: Nexus identifies, Praxis observes, Hexis acts, Maven understands
+and coordinates. Maven is not the source of truth for any of the three. The full
+contract is `docs/ecosystem.md`, and the constraints that bite during
+implementation are summarised in `CLAUDE.md`.
+
+Where things are in this repo:
+
+- `cmd/mavend/ecosystem.go` holds `nexusClient` and `praxisClient`. The Hexis client
+  is vendored from `github.com/kami/hexis/pkg/client`.
+- `cmd/mavend/ecosystem_acts.go` routes an act through capability discovery.
+- `cmd/mavend/factenrichment.go` resolves each stored fact's `Subject` against Nexus
+  on a background poll loop, with backoff and no give-up.
+- `internal/store/entityfacts.go` holds the entity-tagged fact rows.
+- Config blocks are `nexus`, `praxis` and `hexis` in `deploy/mavend.json`. Each is
+  optional. Absent means that integration is dark, not broken.
+
+Bring the whole ecosystem up locally:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f deploy/ecosystem/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+That builds all three from the sibling working trees, so commit or stash there first.
+Each publishes on loopback at the port above. Maven reaches them by service name on
+the shared compose network.
+
+Testing without them running: `cmd/mavend/fakeecosystem_test.go` provides stubs, and
+`cmd/mavend/ecosystem_degraded_test.go` covers each service being unreachable.

+
+All three are `nil` unless configured, and every one of them degrades on its own.
+An outage means a named gap in the answer, never a broken turn and never a guess.
+
+Rules that are not negotiable:
+
+- **No component reads another component's database.** Praxis attention comes over
+  HTTP, never from its SQLite file.
+- **Identity lives in Nexus.** Do not invent a local fact key for something Nexus
+  resolves. `actionFact` already sets `Subject`, and `cmd/mavend/factenrichment.go`
+  resolves it in the background against Nexus.
+- **Free text never reaches a mutating Hexis call.** Resolve to a canonical entity id
+  first. Ambiguous resolution asks the owner, it does not pick.
+- **LLM output is not authorization.** Confirmation binds capability id, target
+  entity, arguments, requester and expiry. See `cmd/mavend/confirm.go`.
+- **Praxis lifecycle words mean different things.** Surfaced is not acknowledged,
+  acknowledged is not resolved, execution success is not recovery. Reading an item
+  aloud calls `Surface`, never `Acknowledge`.
+- **No automatic attention-to-action path.** Digestion may summarise Praxis. It may
+  not call Hexis.
+
+Every cross-service call carries a correlation id minted once per action
+(`withCorrelationID`), a contract version header, and `X-Requested-By: maven`.

+`~/.local/bin/task` owns the branch, the commit identity and the PR. One task, one
+session, one PR.
+
+```sh
+task start <vikunja-id>   # branch off origin/master, write TASK.md, fetch review comments
+task pr                   # push, open or refresh the PR, label Vikunja, notify
+task comments             # re-pull this branch's review comments into .task/
+```
+
+Around that, `/pickup` opens a session and `/wrap` closes it. Wrap at roughly half
+context rather than letting the session compact.

+|---|---|---|

+| `TASK.md` | the brief for this branch, written by `task start`, immutable | one branch |
+| `HANDOFF.md` | only what the next agent needs to resume | one session |
+
+`TASK.md` and `.task/` are excluded through `.git/info/exclude`. `HANDOFF.md` is
+gitignored and injected at session start. If a line in the handoff would still matter
+next week, it is in the wrong file.
+
+Docs are tiered by path, so staleness is visible from the filename. Files directly under
+`docs/` are living and carry a `Last verified: <date> @ <sha>` line. Files under
+`docs/evals/` are dated measurements and are never edited after the day, so a newer
+number is a new file. Files under `docs/archive/` are dead and read by nobody by default.

+- `commit-msg` requires the subject to end with `(V-<id>)`. `V-` and not `#`, because
+  Gitea autolinks `#123` to a Gitea issue, which is the wrong tracker.

-## Maven — current state (updated 2026-07-20)
-
-### Session 2026-07-20 — ecosystem hardening + entity-aware facts
-
-Ten commits, focused on closing the Nexus/Praxis integration gaps flagged
-as "wired but immature" in the prior review, plus the entity-aware-memory
-backlog item (`20-07-2026-BACKLOG.md` item 5).
-
-- **Entity-aware fact resolution (Vikunja #279)** — facts gain
-  `Subject`/`EntityID`/`ResolutionState`; an async worker resolves
-  free-text subjects to canonical Nexus entity_ids (mirrors Praxis's own
-  enrichment pattern). Ambiguous/unreachable Nexus never guesses — stays
-  `pending` or terminal `ambiguous`. Voice-tapped facts (`IntentFact`) flow
-  into the queue automatically via an optional `Subject` field on
-  `WriteFactReq` (old callers unaffected, no signature break).
-- **Typed Praxis lifecycle client (Vikunja #271)** — `GetItem`/`Search`/
-  `Surface`/`Acknowledge`/`Resolve`/`Ignore`/`Pin`, routed through new RU/EN
-  dialogue verbs. Fixes a real lifecycle-invariant bug: reading an
-  attention item aloud now calls `Surface` — previously the digest path
-  read items without recording that they'd been surfaced, so "Maven
-  mentioned it" was indistinguishable from "never came up."
-- **Durable delivery outbox (Vikunja #270)** — `BeginDeliveryAttempt`
-  before `Send`, `CompleteDeliveryAttempt` after; a stale `pending` row
-  found at startup reconciles to `unknown` (never silently resent or
-  dropped — same rule as Hexis's execution-timeout handling). Closes a
-  crash-window duplicate-send bug. Wired into `DispatchNudge`,
-  `DispatchReminder`, `RepeatUnacked`; reconciliation runs once at boot
-  before the tick loop resumes.
-- **Fail-closed IPC/dependency handling (Vikunja #269, #272/#273)** —
-  ambiguous mutation outcomes (frame sent, reply lost) no longer blindly
-  retry; Nexus/Hexis dependency errors fail closed instead of guessing.
-- **Correlation IDs + version headers (Vikunja #273)** — the hand-rolled
-  Nexus/Praxis HTTP clients now send `X-Nexus-Version`/`X-Praxis-Version`
-  and thread the same correlation ID already generated in
-  `executeCapability` through the whole call chain, matching the Hexis
-  client's existing behavior.
-- **Entity-scoped Praxis attention queries** — callers holding a resolved
-  entity_id can ask "what needs attention for this entity" directly
-  instead of filtering the unscoped list client-side.
-- **Fake-ecosystem test harness with fault injection** — a reusable
-  `fakeServer` (Nexus/Praxis/Hexis fixtures, runtime-toggleable
-  `SetFault`, fake clock) replacing ad-hoc per-test `httptest` servers;
-  covers a gap that had zero test coverage (`handlePraxisAct`) and adds a
-  fault-then-recovery regression test for the fail-closed fixes above.
-- **Ops fix** — `deploy/mavend.json`'s phraser was pointed at a 4B model
-  with `n_gpu_layers=99`, which OOM'd under memory pressure and left a
-  zombie `llama-server` child; swapped to the 2B Qwen model matching the
-  intended resident-model size.
-
-Net effect: the Nexus/Praxis wiring described as "plumbing exists, thin
-compared to Maven's test depth" in the prior review is now materially
-hardened — typed clients, fail-closed error handling, durable delivery,
-and a proper fault-injection test harness are all in place. Evaluation lab
-(`20-07-2026-BACKLOG.md` item 7) is explicitly skipped for now — it runs
-on the GPU box, which is occupied by CPT. Morning routine engine (backlog
-item 3) is next up, not started.
-
----
-
-> **Resolved 2026-07-30 (task #318).** The resident checkpoint is
-> **Qwen3.5-0.8B** (`Q4_K_M`), set in `deploy/mavend.json`; the **target** is
-> the locally CPT'd **Qwen3-1.7B**, still training (#122). Older model claims
-> below — the LFM references, the pipeline line, and the "swapped to the 2B
-> Qwen model" ops entry above — are historical. Read them as a log of what was
-> true at the time, not as current fact. Note also that `/mnt/hdd1/llms` is
-> bind-mounted over `models/llm/`, so the LFM2.5 gguf in the repo tree is
-> never loaded.
-
-Architecture decision (as written on 2026-07-20): the target resident
-router/phraser is the locally trained Qwen3-1.7B model — still the target as
-of 2026-07-30. Older LFM references below describe the then-deployed
-historical stack, not the target checkpoint. RU CPT has a successful
-full-weight checkpoint at step 1000/8077; evaluation and Qwen3 SFT tooling are
-tracked in `docs/plans/2026-07-18-qwen3-resident-training-eval.md`.
-
-Consolidated status. The reactive↔proactive core is closed and testable through
-the web PWA. The former SPEC's open items 1–7 (now `DESIGN.md` § execution ledger) are landed (protocol doc, away-channel
-fallthrough, CalDAV poller, quiet-hours schedule, tools enable/disable, note RAG,
-passkey step-up); item 8 (multi-user) is deliberately deferred — see the tail.
-The two big infra gaps from the jul5 revision are closed on `overnight-jul5`:
-**at-rest encryption** (AES-256-GCM, tmpfs working copy — not sqlcipher, see
-`internal/store/crypt.go`) and **Docker deployment** (one image, six daemon
-containers). The `overnight-jul6` session (now on `master`) closed the biggest
-*query-surface* gaps — **calendar querying, general-knowledge answers, and
-weather** — plus a populated homelab act allowlist and two pure scaffolds
-(dialogue state, long-term-memory vector store). ~15.2k LOC + ~8.5k test, 303
-tests, `-race` in `make test`.
-
-### Access model
-
-- **Phone** → needs the wg tunnel to reach homesrv (no homesrv DNS otherwise;
-  raw IP or a DNS tweak can bypass, not the default).
-- **PC** → uses homesrv DNS, resolves the domains over local-net, **no wg needed**.
-- nginx + ufw both scope to `10.42.0.0/24` (wg) + `192.168.1.0/24` (LAN), deny all else.
-- **Surface in use now: the web PWA (`mavweb`).** Voice PTT + in-app nudges both ride it.
-
-### Works end-to-end (tested)
-
-- **Reactive voice:** PWA record → Whisper STT (`mavsttd`) → ONNX classifier →
-  resident phraser (llama-server subprocess; Qwen3.5-0.8B as of 2026-07-30 —
-  this line historically named "LFM 2.5-1.2B") → Piper TTS
-  (`mavttsd`) → reply.
-  HTTP POST path (mobile-Chrome drops WS for the audio).
-- **Capture:** `fact` (EN **and RU** — root-substring recognizers) + `reminder`
-  persist through CoreAPI (`source=tap:voice`). This is the substrate the care
-  rules read.
-- **Notes / query (semantic recall, sqlite — no chroma):** `note` → embed (the
-  classifier's ONNX embedder) → `notes` table. `query` → embed → brute-force
-  cosine top-k → confidence-gated (below `queryMinScore` 0.55 ⇒ "no note", not a
-  guess). **Note RAG (SPEC item 6):** the gated top-k feed the phraser
-  (`PhraseQuery`) to compose a natural answer ("вот что я нашла: …") instead of
-  a verbatim dump; raw-notes fallback on any LLM error. Stub is deterministic.
-- **Monitoring (`/dash`):** mavweb server-renders presence + recent nudges (by
-  outcome) + recent facts from the append-only store via CoreAPI. Read-only,
-  meta-refresh, no JS.
-- **Proactive loop:** 60s dumb ticker, pure predicates over a State snapshot,
-  universal gate (quiet-hours/presence/cooldown/snooze/calendar), one-nudge-per-
-  tick max-severity, reminders (gate-bypassing), sev4 repeat-til-ack, feedback
-  auto-tuner (outcome ratio → bounded cooldown, persisted as `source=feedback`).
-- **Rules:** water/meal/break (sev1–2 care), service_down (sev4, `poll:uptimekuma`),
-  netdata_critical (sev3, `poll:netdata`).
-- **Routines (`internal/routine`):** operator-declared clockwork — the third
-  proactive class beside reminders (user-stated) and care rules (world-state).
-  Config `routines[]` (cron + literal RU body + severity) fire through the normal
-  dispatcher on schedule (an 08:00 briefing, a 22:00 wind-down). Bodies are
-  literal (not LLM-phrased ⇒ can't hallucinate); rule name `routine:<name>` so
-  they don't pollute the care autotuner; cold-start guard seeds on first sight so
-  a restart never replays a missed schedule. Pure `routine.Due`, unit-tested; the
-  tick driver holds the last-fired map.
-- **Env facts (`mavpoll`):** netdata alarms → `netdata_alarm` (fires immediately
-  on a real CRITICAL); kuma monitor_status → `service_down`. Writes only on
-  value-change (no append-only churn).
-- **Presence:** noisy-OR decay + Schmitt hysteresis. Live via `page_heartbeat`
-  (PWA auto-pings `/api/signal` every 30s → present when a tab's open).
-- **Delivery:** ntfy / telegram / voice by `f(severity, presence)`; minimal body
-  on away channels. PWA subscribes to ntfy over **WebSocket** for in-app nudges.
-- **Away-channel fallthrough (SPEC item 2):** when the router picks voice but no
-  live session exists at push time (presence guess was wrong), the dispatcher
-  reroutes through the AWAY table — sev3→ntfy, sev4→telegram-repeat-til-ack,
-  sev≤2→drop — instead of silently dropping. Covers nudges + reminders.
-- **Calendar busy (SPEC item 3, `mavcaldav`):** new poller queries a self-hosted
-  **Radicale** CalDAV server on an interval, writes `calendar_busy` + event facts
-  through CoreAPI (value-change only). The loop gate already consumes `calendar_busy`.
-- **Quiet-hours schedule (SPEC item 4):** the gate reads `quiet_hours`; a config
-  time window (`voice.quiet_hours`, HH:MM, midnight-crossing handled) now sets it
-  on each tick — in addition to the "тихий режим" voice toggle. Both activate quiet.
-- **Client protocol (SPEC item 1):** the voice wire format (length-prefixed JSON
-  frames) is published in `PROTOCOL.md`, generated from `internal/voice/wire.go`
-  so third-party clients don't need the Go source.
-- **Passkey step-up (SPEC item 7):** `internal/webauthn` does real WebAuthn —
-  ES256/P-256 register + assert, ecdsa signature verification, rpIdHash + UP/UV
-  flag binding (UV = the gesture), sign-count regression check. `PasskeySession`
-  bumps the auth session L2→L3 for a TTL on assert. mavweb serves `/auth/passkey`
-  (enroll + step-up) + the begin/finish endpoints. Crypto is round-trip tested
-  (incl. tampered-sig / missing-UV / wrong-origin negatives).
-- **Stability:** llama-server orphan leak fixed (`Pdeathsig` kills the child on
-  any mavend death); `kill-maven.sh` reaps strays (matches the model, not a
-  bogus `llama-server.*maven` pattern); `start-maven.sh` wires `-core` + poller.
-
-### Wired but needs a deploy action (not code)
-
-- **`desk_active`** (strongest presence signal) — `scripts/desk-active.sh` runs
-  on the **desk PC** (hypridle-gated systemd timer), posts over wg to mavweb.
-- **`mavwaked`** (always-on listening) — needs a systemd user unit on a client
-  box (desk PC, pi, etc.) where the mic is attached. Connects to mavend over wg
-  or local net via `-addr`. Deferred until a client box is wired with a mic.
-
-Caveats / gotchas:
-- **desk_active is a workstation deploy, not code** — 0 facts ever written; presence
-  runs on page_heartbeat alone (dash reads "away"/"never at desk"). `scripts/desk-active.sh`
-  + a hypridle-gated `maven-desk` timer must be installed on the desk PC (not homesrv).
-- **Notes recall needs the ONNX embedder** — under the HashEmbedder floor, cosine is
-  lexical (token overlap), not semantic; scores are low, so most RU commands sit under
-  the 0.35 route threshold and clarify. Configure `voice.embedder` for confident recall+routing.
-  (The floor now at least tokenizes Cyrillic — see below — so it ranks correctly, just weakly.)
-- **Switching the embedder model silently breaks old notes** — different dim ⇒
-  cosine 0 ⇒ they stop matching; brute-force can't re-embed. Re-embed on a model change.
-- **`wg_handshake` is OFF and should stay off** — in this topology the phone only
-  runs wg when *outside*, so a fresh handshake means AWAY, not here. The `mavpoll
-  -wg` flag exists (defaults `""`) and could later back the spec's "away override"
-  by flipping the sign; as a presence-*here* signal it's inverted. desk_active +
-  page_heartbeat cover home presence.
-- **Cold-start unlock tests are missing** — the key wrap/unwrap code
-  (`internal/webauthn/keywrap.go`) and locked-mode IPC gating (`cmd/mavend/main.go`)
-  are correct but have **zero test coverage**. The roadmap (item 2.1) required
-  three new test cases (wrap/unwrap round-trip, wrong-cred unwrap fails,
-  locked-mode IPC rejects non-unlock methods); none were written. `make test`
-  is green by omission. Write these before relying on the cold-start path with
-  real keys.
-
-### Done since last revision (overnight-jul6, 2026-07-06)
-
-Seven tasks (session board `SESSION-06-07-2026.md`, deleted 2026-07-30 — see git history), one commit each, merged to `master`.
-This session was run through **opencode**, not Claude Code (co-author trailer).
-
-Since then (**2026-07-06, second session**):
-
-- **Always-on listening (gap 1, MVP)** — `cmd/mavwaked/`: 825 lines, 10 `-race`
-  tests. Energy-based VAD over 30ms windows (same RMS threshold as mavsttd's
-  `gateReason`), adaptive noise floor, speech→silence state machine. Captures
-  PCM from arecord(1) subprocess, sends `PushToTalk` with `Surface=SurfaceVoice`
-  (L0 — no destructive acts). Reply plays through aplay(1). No wake word yet
-  (pure VAD trigger); the 30ms frame shape matches silero-vad ONNX input 1:1,
-  so swapping energy-threshold for ONNX inference is a local change in vad.go.
-  `Makefile` `build-waked` target. Runs on client boxes (not docker/homesrv)
-  via systemd user unit; connects to mavend over wg or local net.
-
-Since then (**2026-07-06, third session** — roadmap execution agent):
-
-- **Cold-start unlock (ROADMAP 2.1)** — the at-rest AES key is now wrapped
-  (HKDF-SHA256 + AES-256-GCM, stdlib-only — no `x/crypto` dep) with the passkey
-  credential's public key and persisted to disk. At boot, if a wrapped key file
-  exists AND no env key is set, mavend starts **locked**: the IPC server runs
-  but `srv.Check` rejects everything except `MethodAssertStepUp` +
-  `MethodUnlock`. A passkey assertion at `/auth/passkey` calls `MethodUnlock`
-  with the credential's public key → unwraps the blob → opens the store → wires
-  voice/loop/delivery → `srv.SetAPI` swaps the locked stub for the real
-  CoreAPI. mavweb's `RegisterFinish` wraps the env key on enrollment;
-  `AssertFinish` calls `Unlock` on assertion. Env-key fallback preserved
-  (dev/CI path unchanged). **Test gap:** the roadmap required three new test
-  cases (wrap/unwrap round-trip, wrong-cred unwrap fails, locked-mode IPC
-  rejects non-unlock methods) — none were written. The code is correct but
-  untested; `make test` is green by omission, not coverage.
-- **Conversation depth (ROADMAP 3.2)** — cross-intent anaphora + fact-by-key
-  lookup. `AnaphoraResolver` in `router/slots.go` detects RU pronouns
-  (это/он/она/оно/тот/мой + inflected forms). `followUpMerge` now handles
-  three cases: same-intent slot inheritance (existing), cross-intent anaphora
-  (Query/Fact/Reminder after a Fact with a pronoun inherits the prior key +
-  time), and query-after-fact (a query following a fact inherits the key for
-  fact-by-key lookup). `Session.History []Turn` added as the multi-turn
-  scaffold (capped at 4). 7 new test cases including the exact done-when
-  scenarios (anaphora query-after-fact, three-turn break, explicit-key-wins).
-- **Routing quality + persona (ROADMAP 4.1/4.4)** — `QueryMinScore` is now a
-  config knob (`voice.query_min_score`, default 0.55) instead of a hardcoded
-  const. `make download-embedder` fetches Xenova/paraphrase-multilingual-
-  MiniLM-L12-v2 (~90MB ONNX) + tokenizer; AGENTS.md documents the embedder +
-  libonnxruntime setup. `Persona` field in `VoiceConfig` prepends to every
-  LLM system prompt (nudge phrasing, note queries, general knowledge); empty
-  = current hardcoded feminine-gendered Russian persona. Also fixed two
-  pre-existing data races found by `-race`: `voice/server.go` wg.Add vs
-  wg.Wait (accept mutex), `mavweb/server.go` s.api field (atomic.Value).
-
-- **Calendar querying (task 3)** — "что у меня завтра?" now answers from the
-  CalDAV facts the poller already writes. Added `store.CalendarEvents(from,to)`,
-  a RU date-scope parser («сегодня»/«завтра») in `router/slots.go`, and an
-  IPC `CalendarEvents` RPC (api/client/server/wire) feeding the `IntentQuery`
-  handler. Empty day → «на сегодня ничего нет». Previously calendar only *gated*
-  nudges; it's now queryable.
-- **General-knowledge routing (task 4)** — when notes-RAG misses `queryMinScore`,
-  the query now falls through to the phraser with an anti-hallucination system
-  prompt (`router.KnowledgePrompt`, single tested source) instead of giving up.
-  Empty/errored/Stub phraser → «не знаю.», never a fabrication.
-- **Weather (task 5)** — new `internal/weather/`: `Provider` interface, a stub
-  («погода не настроена»), and a real **keyless Open-Meteo** provider (geocode +
-  current_weather, injectable `*http.Client`, mocked in tests — no live network).
-  Wired into `IntentQuery` (keywords погода/градус/температура) with a ~5s
-  context timeout; selected by `voice.weather.provider` ("open-meteo" | "" → stub).
-- **Homelab act allowlist (task 2)** — `voice.tools` seeded with read-only acts
-  (`systemctl status`, `docker ps`, `uptime`, `df`, `free`, `journalctl` reads)
-  as `destructive:false` and mutating ones (restart/stop/start/reboot,
-  docker-restart/stop) as `destructive:true`. Guardrail verified: no dangerous
-  verb is `destructive:false`. RU phrasings seeded in `act.txt`.
-- **Embedder config validation (task 1)** — a partially-filled `voice.embedder`
-  block (some of model/tokenizer/lib paths missing) is now a load error instead
-  of a silent fall-through to the Hash floor; the floor fallback logs explicitly.
-- **Dialogue state scaffold (task 6)** — `internal/dialogue/`: `Session` +
-  TTL `SessionStore` + pure `InheritSlots`. **Now wired** (post-merge follow-up):
-  the voice handler carries slots across same-intent turns within a 2-min window
-  (`followUpMerge`, unit-tested) — bounded gap-filling, not full multi-turn yet.
-- **Long-term memory interface (task 7)** — `internal/memory/`: `Store` interface
-  + `InMemoryStore` (cosine). Wired into `IntentNote` (best-effort insert) and,
-  post-merge, into `IntentFact` (facts indexed) + `IntentQuery` (read-back after
-  notes-RAG misses). In-memory only — no persistent backend yet (gap #8).
-
-Follow-ups (Claude Code, post-merge): gofmt'd `handlers_test.go` (the jul6
-verification commit left it misaligned, so `gofmt -l` still flagged it despite the
-"all gates green" claim); deduped the task-4 knowledge prompt to the single tested
-`router.KnowledgePrompt()`. Tree is now genuinely green (gofmt/vet/303 tests).
-
-### Done since the jul5 revision (overnight-jul5, 2026-07-05)
-
-The overnight session (`SESSION-05-07-2026.md`, deleted 2026-07-30 — see git history; 25 tasks) closed the previous
-"not built yet" items 1–3 and added feature depth:
-
-- **At-rest encryption** — the on-disk db is AES-256-GCM ciphertext; the daemon
-  works on a tmpfs (RAM) plaintext copy, sealed back atomically on close. Wrong
-  key / tamper ⇒ fail closed, never a plaintext fallback. Legacy plaintext dbs
-  upgrade on first clean shutdown. Key via config/env (`db_key_env`); no KDF —
-  raw 32-byte key, base64. The passkey cold-start unlock plugs into the same
-  `store.OpenEncrypted` seam later.
-- **Docker deployment** — single image, one container per daemon
-  (`docker-compose.yml`); only mavend mounts the key + db volume; IPC over a
-  shared socket volume. `ipc.DialWait` (boot-order tolerance) + redial-on-drop
-  (core restarts don't kill modules). `deploy/README.md` has the runbook.
-- **Tests** — mavcaldav, mavttsd, voicesink, mavweb main/handlers covered;
-  `make test` runs `-race -coverprofile`.
-- **Recurring reminders** — `cron` + `next_fire_ts` on reminders; recurring ones
-  reschedule (instead of mark-fired) after successful delivery.
-- **Notification digest/batching** — low-severity nudges queue and flush as one
-  digest per window/max-items (`digest` config block); stale-reminder bursts on
-  boot collapse into a single digest reminder, completed only after delivery.
-- **Rule trace engine** — `ExplainTick`/`ExplainGate` record per-rule
-  predicate/gate/selection results each tick; served over IPC (`tick_trace`)
-  and rendered at mavweb `/trace` ("why didn't she nudge me").
-- **Web UI** — new `/history` (facts + revert buttons), `/notifications` (nudge
-  history), `/trace` pages; nav links on `/dash`; RU/EN cheatsheet toggle in the
-  PWA; manifest icons (`icon.svg`). POST `/tools` now requires an in-process
-  passkey step-up when WebAuthn is configured.
-- **Revert/undo** — `RevertFact` voids the latest fact for a key (append-only
-  void-marker, audit trail intact); exposed at `/api/revert` from `/history`.
-- **Tool scopes** — `scope` column on tools, threaded through propose/enable/UI.
-  `DisableTool` raised to AuthStepUp alongside Enable.
-- **Passkey persistence** — mavweb credentials in a JSON file (`-passkey-file`),
-  surviving restarts; rollback-on-persist-failure keeps memory and disk in sync.
-- **STT silence gate** — min-duration + RMS floor drop non-speech before whisper
-  hallucinates on it (`-min-ms`, `-silence-rms` flags on mavsttd).
-- **Housekeeping** — `db_key.env` gitignored (+`.env.example`), `build-caldav`
-  target, zero-timestamp "never" fix on /dash.
-
-### Not built yet (ranked by ROI)
-
-1. **Multi-user (SPEC item 8)** — deliberately deferred, see the tail.
-
-Closed (jul6 follow-ups): `/api/revert` now sits behind the same passkey
-step-up as POST `/tools`; `go.mod` direct deps (`onnxruntime_go`,
-`coder/websocket`, `robfig/cron`) are labeled correctly — `go mod tidy` can't
-run here because it walks the vendored `deps/go` toolchain tree.
-Purge+rotate leaked db key (#12) — investigated and closed: the key was
-**never committed** to git history (gitignored at introduction, no commit
-ever tracked `deploy/db_key.env`), so nothing to scrub. File stays on disk
-and in deploy env by design — at-rest encryption needs it at boot.
-
-Done earlier (2026-07-03): **act tool executor, store-backed, full flow**
-(`internal/tool` + `internal/store/tools.go` + `tools` CoreAPI methods).
-- **Execution:** IntentAct runs the matched fn against the store's ENABLED
-  allowlist. argv, no shell → STT text can't inject. Live store read, so a
-  newly-enabled tool runs without a daemon restart.
-- **proposed→enabled→disabled (SPEC item 5):** an act whose verb isn't enabled is
-  scaffolded as a `proposed` tool (maven suggests). A human enables it (fills argv
-  + destructive) on the authed **`mavweb /tools`** page — never voice — and can
-  disable it back to `proposed` (kept in the store, won't run). `EnableTool`/
-  `DisableTool` sit at `AuthStepUp`; the gate is now **live** via `PasskeySession`,
-  so /tools enable requires a passkey assertion at `/auth/passkey` first.
-- **Confirm turn:** a destructive enabled tool replies "выполнить X? да/нет" and
-  parks; the next utterance (ru/en yes-no) confirms or cancels (90s TTL).
-- **Config:** `voice.tools` seeds enabled tools at boot (editing mavend.json =
-  the human enable act); mavweb enables ad-hoc ones on top.
-- **Russian:** fixed grammar in reply strings + seed files; maven's self-
-  reference is feminine ("she") — [[maven-persona-gender]].
-
-Also fixed:
-- **HashEmbedder was blind to Cyrillic** (`tokenize` iterated bytes, kept only
-  `a-z0-9`) → every RU utterance embedded to the zero vector → cosine 0 across
-  all intents → misrouted to `act` (alphabetical tie-break). Now rune-based
-  (`unicode.IsLetter`). This was the real cause of "Найди заметку" (a query)
-  landing in `notes`; added note-retrieval query seeds too.
-- **Notes are now browsable on `/dash`** — `RecentNotes` plumbed through the
-  store + CoreAPI; voice-captured notes were previously only reachable via
-  semantic `query`.
-Earlier: notes/query recall, `/dash` monitoring, `wg_handshake` poller (NO-OP).
-
-### Gaps — why "voice assistant" is still aspirational (2026-07-06)
-
-What separates Maven today from the thing the spec describes. Dealbreakers
-first — these define the category:
-
-1. **Always-on listening is code-complete (MVP).** `cmd/mavwaked` captures
-   PCM from arecord → energy-based VAD → PushToTalk with `Surface=SurfaceVoice`
-   (L0). Gap narrowed: no wake word yet (pure voice-activity trigger; every
-   utterance fires). The 30ms frame shape and 16kHz PCM match silero-vad's
-   ONNX input exactly, so a wake-word model swap is a local change in vad.go.
-   Hardware: the mic lives on a client box (desk PC, pi, etc.) — never the
-   homesrv. Deploy action: systemd user unit on whichever box has the mic,
-   connects to mavend over wg or local net.
-2. **Conversation is deeper now, still not full dialogue.** The router
-   classifies one utterance → one reply, but `internal/dialogue` carries
-   context across turns: a 2-min session inherits slots for same-intent
-   follow-ups («напомни завтра» → «…позвонить маме»), and cross-intent
-   anaphora («запиши что я пил воду» → «когда я это сделал?») now resolves
-   RU pronouns (это/он/она/оно/тот/мой + inflections) to the prior turn's
-   key for fact-by-key lookup. `Session.History []Turn` is the scaffold for
-   real multi-turn. Still missing: LLM-driven dialogue manager (decide
-   ask-vs-act), anaphora beyond RU pronouns, single-slot session (single-user
-   box). The sub-1B phraser only words replies.
-3. **Latency/shape of a turn.** Clip-based STT (record → upload → whisper →
-   route → phrase → piper → play). No streaming either direction, no barge-in;
-   every exchange is a full round trip.
-
-Capability-class gaps — built but thin:
-
-4. **Act surface is a small argv allowlist.** propose→enable works and the
-   allowlist now ships a homelab starter set (jul6 task 2 — status/ps/uptime/
-   df/free/logs read-only, restart/stop/reboot gated). Still bounded to what's
-   seeded; broadening it is config, not code.
-5. **Query answers now cover notes + calendar + weather + general knowledge**
-   (jul6 tasks 3/4/5). Calendar querying, keyless Open-Meteo weather, and a
-   phraser knowledge-fallback all landed; caveat — general-knowledge quality is
-   only as good as the sub-1B phraser, and weather needs `voice.weather.provider`
-   set. The cheatsheet and router are now roughly aligned.
-6. **Routing quality depends on the ONNX embedder being configured** — the
-   HashEmbedder floor makes RU recall lexical/weak; many commands fall to
-   "clarify". `make download-embedder` now fetches the multilingual MiniLM
-   model + AGENTS.md documents libonnxruntime setup; `voice.query_min_score`
-   is a config knob (default 0.55) so the floor can be tuned without recompile.
-7. **Presence is effectively one signal** (page_heartbeat); desk_active is
-   still an undeployed script — "voice when near" routing runs on a guess.
-8. **Long-term memory is now persistent (store-backed), not the spec's chroma.**
-   `internal/memory` has a `Store` interface; the daemon now wires
-   `store.MemoryStore` (`internal/store/memory.go`) — a **persistent** backend
-   in the **same encrypted sqlite db** (survives restarts; recall text inherits
-   at-rest encryption, so no plaintext sidecar). Vectors are float32 blobs,
-   search is brute-force cosine (fine at single-user scale; ANN is the later
-   swap behind the same interface). Notes **and facts** are indexed on capture;
-   `IntentQuery` reads it back (after notes-RAG misses, before general-knowledge)
-   — fact recall («когда я пил воду?») is its distinct payoff. The in-memory
-   impl remains the test/no-store floor. Remaining: an ANN/external index is
-   optional-scale, not a gap. Custom TTS voice (kami-picked, replaces the irina
-   floor — [[custom-voice-training]]) is still a future item.

-### Services & layout
-
-- `mavend` (core, IPC unix socket) — store + loop + phraser; the only key-holder.
-- `mavsttd` / `mavttsd` — STT/TTS worker modules (unix sockets).
-- `mavweb` — PWA bridge (HTTP), `/api/ptt` voice, `/api/signal` presence ingest,
-  `/api/ntfy` WS-subscribe config, `/dash` read-only monitoring.
-- `mavpoll` — env poller (netdata/kuma → facts via CoreAPI).
-- `mavcaldav` — CalDAV poller (Radicale → `calendar_busy` + events via CoreAPI).
-- All behind wg + nginx deny-all; no phone-home. CGo only in `mavsttd`.
-- Start/stop: `./start-maven.sh [build]`, `./kill-maven.sh`.
-- Config: `~/.config/maven/mavend.json` (or `mavend.json` in repo root).

-
-- `cmd/mavend/{main,tick,voice}.go` — daemon wiring, loop driver, voice handler
-- `internal/loop/{loop,rules,gather,feedback}.go` — proactive engine
-- `internal/store/` — append-only facts/reminders/nudges/presence/notes
-- `cmd/mavweb/{main.go,dash.html}` — PWA bridge + `/dash` monitoring
-- `internal/router/{classifier,slots,stage0}.go` — reactive routing + slot parse

-### Why multi-user (SPEC item 8) is deferred
-
-Not neglect — the one item where doing nothing now beats doing something:
-
-- **No second user exists yet** (the "gf phase"). Building per-user partitioning
-  now means code exercised by zero users and validated by nobody — YAGNI.
-- **The append-only schema makes it a migration, not a rewrite.** No row is ever
-  mutated, so adding `facts/notes/reminders.user_id` later is add-columns +
-  backfill-to-"kami" — no reshaping, no dual-write window. Deferral is cheap.
-- **The hard part is speaker attribution, and it needs the second voice.** A
-  voice-print discriminator (kami vs gf vs unknown) can't be trained or tuned
-  with one voice in the house. Plumbing before the model is pipe with no water.
-- **It's fenced deliberately** (`DO NOT TOUCH THIS PHASE` in `DESIGN.md` § Users) so an
-  autonomous agent doesn't add `user_id` columns while touching the store and
-  commit us to a schema before the constraints that shape it exist.

+## what already shipped (checked against the code, 2026-08-02)
+
+One month old and already wrong in ten places. Everything below is marked
+built after reading the code, not the board. Read the tiers underneath with this list in
+hand.
+
+Infra 1 and 2, the two the ranking says block every feature, are both done. sqlcipher
+at-rest ships as `Store.enc` plus `OpenEncrypted`, a tmpfs working copy re-encrypted on
+`Close`, keyed from `db_key_env` in `deploy/mavend.json`. mavweb and mavcaldav are no
+longer at zero coverage: seven test files under `cmd/mavweb`, including
+`credentials_test.go` and `passkey_prf_test.go`, and two under `cmd/mavcaldav`. Infra 3
+is stale in the other direction. There are still no systemd units, but the deploy is
+`deploy/ecosystem/docker-compose.yml`, not scripts and tmux.
+
+Doable tier, built: rule trace and explanation as `/trace` plus `internal/loop/explain.go`.
+Recurring reminders as the cron column, `NextFireTs` and `RescheduleReminder`
+(`internal/store/reminders.go:206`), so "fires once right now" is wrong. Stale-reminder
+burst collapse as `collapseReminders` (`internal/loop/gather.go:209`). Revert as
+`VoidLatestFact` (`internal/store/facts.go:300`). Digest mode as `internal/store/digest.go`.
+Testing infra as the simulator and the eval lab (V-284, V-278). Passkey persistence as the
+JSON-backed `credentialStore` in `cmd/mavweb/credentials.go`. Most integrations shipped as
+their own QA tasks (V-246 mail, V-256 smarthome, V-258 rss, V-259 crawler).
+
+Doable tier, still open: correx, systemd units, memory decay and duplicate detection
+(nothing in `internal/memory` touches it), backup automation, import and export, barge-in.
+
+Epic tier, unbuilt as ranked. `event.Bus` exists (`cmd/mavend/intake.go:57`) but it is the
+intake journal from V-283, not the rewrite of facts into projections that this tier means.

+# Deterministic logic around a small model
+
+*Last verified: 2026-08-02 @ 7079a24. Living doc: correct it in place, do not append.*
+
+Written 2026-08-02. Branch `fix/integrated`.
+
+## The question
+
+Where does deterministic code attach, so that it helps the resident 1.7B now and
+does not fight a larger model later.
+
+## The mistake to avoid
+
+Everything deterministic we have added so far sits in front of the model and
+preempts it. Stage 0 matches, the model never sees the turn. That shape helps a
+weak model and blocks a strong one, silently.
+
+The fix is not to remove it. The fix is to know which rules are safe in that
+position and to have a way to measure the rest.
+
+## Four attachment points
+
+**Bypass, before the model.** The only shape that saves the 2.7s p50. Safe when
+the rule is a decision procedure over a closed set, not a guess over an open one.
+Exact match and clock queries qualify.
+
+**Evidence, beside the model.** Extractors emit candidate slots as a prior, not a
+verdict. The prompt carries the prior and the validator reuses it. A small model
+leans on it, a large one overrides it correctly.
+
+**Grammar, around the model.** GBNF built from live state rather than hardcoded.
+Costs nothing at runtime and prevents the error instead of catching it.
+
+**Repair, after the model.** Validation failure re-asks with the specific error
+rather than overriding. Self-retiring, because a better model trips it less.
+
+## The constraint that ranks them
+
+Latency must stay minimal. That demotes repair and promotes grammar.
+
+- Grammar first. Zero runtime cost, immediate gain.
+- Bypass keeps its place. It is the only thing that avoids a model call at all.
+- Repair only where failure is rare, capped at one retry.
+- Evidence is correct but costs a model call where a bypass costs none.
+- Ecosystem calls belong in the snapshot path, in parallel, on strict deadlines.
+  Never serial before routing.
+
+## The line that never moves
+
+Separate policy from capability compensation. They look alike and age oppositely.
+
+Capability compensation exists because the model is weak. It should be measurable
+and retirable.
+
+Policy exists because we decided. The personal boundary, the feminine persona, the
+never-search-his-notes rule, the Hexis allowlist and confirmation binding. None of
+those yield to a smarter model. A larger model is more dangerous there, not less.
+
+## What we keep
+
+Every stage-0 rule stays exactly as it is. Retiring them was the wrong call and it
+would throw away a day of measured gains.
+
+- exact-match fast path
+- clock rules
+- `SystemTimeDateGrammars`
+- `AgendaQueryGrammars`
+- `thinSingleToken`, including the social lexicon and the verb-ending test
+
+Three additions, none of which change behaviour:
+
+1. Each rule gets an id and a fixture subset.
+2. Each rule writes one trace line when it fires.
+3. Each rule carries a comment saying whether its set is closed or open.
+
+That preserves today's accuracy and buys the option to revisit later with numbers.
+
+## What we build
+
+**Dynamic grammars from live state.** The grammars today are static: `routeGrammar`
+fixes the 7 intents, `responseGrammar` fixes the mood enum, kiwix `queryGrammar`
+fixes word shape. Everything else is a free string.
+
+Candidates in order of payoff:
+
+- **Hexis capability ids.** After discovery the exact list is known. As an enum,
+  the model cannot name a capability that does not exist.
+- **Act fn allowlist.** Hits the two remaining false clarifies directly. They are
+  the act-with-no-allowlisted-fn arm of `gateLLMDecision`, firing on invented verbs.
+- **Calendar names.** Enumerate the real ones for agenda and query slots.
+- **Known fact keys.** A read-back matches a stored key instead of inventing a
+  synonym. This is the general form of the read side we scrapped on 2026-08-01.
+- **Nexus display names as act targets.** Only while the list stays small.
+
+Two rules or it backfires:
+
+- **Always include an escape value.** A closed enum with no `other` forces a wrong
+  pick instead of a decline. The escape is what feeds the clarify gate.
+- **Cache the grammar string, keyed on the state that built it.** Rebuilding per
+  turn is fine. Recompiling a large grammar per turn is not.
+
+## Retrieval over regex
+
+Resolve against stores that already exist rather than adding patterns.
+
+Identity is the worked example. Nexus is authoritative, `actionFact` already sets
+`Subject`, and `cmd/mavend/factenrichment.go` resolves it in the background. The
+scrapped work invented a parallel key namespace with nothing reconciling the two.
+
+A table that grows with real data beats patterns that grow with our patience.
+
+Note a real gap: the personal boundary in `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go` guards
+Maven's own store only. It does not know Nexus or Praxis exist.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Both are offline and need no deploy. Neither existed on 2026-08-01, and that is
+why the day cost what it did.
+
+**Failure taxonomy over the 77-case fixture.** Classify every miss as model
+ignorance, contract loss, prompt ambiguity, or our own bug. Only model ignorance
+deserves deterministic compensation. The other three get fixed once, for every
+model size. Inference, not verified: much of what we patched was the last two.
+
+**Per-assist ablation runner.** One command toggles each assist off and reports the
+accuracy delta on its fixture subset. Then retiring an assist is a config flip and
+a number, not an argument.
+
+## Held
+
+Not now, and nothing gets built for it.
+
+- A 12B or 35B model. It may be cloud or the 16GB workstation, and cloud crosses
+  the current no-third-party line.
+- The escalation tier in `gateLLMDecision`.
+- Converting the stage-0 heuristics to evidence.
+
+One thing carries forward for free: deterministic assists emit confidence, never a
+verdict. A verdict cannot escalate.
+
+## Ruling on the idea list
+
+Nineteen ideas, judged on whether they earn a place in Maven. Checked against the
+tree on 2026-08-02, not from memory.
+
+### Build. Absent, and worth it.
+
+**SQLite FTS over embeddings.** No `fts5` anywhere in the tree. Lexical search is
+faster than the ONNX embedder, deterministic, and strongest exactly where the
+embedder is weakest, which is exact Russian names. Semantic search becomes the
+fallback rather than the gate. This is the highest-value absent item.
+
+**Cached TTS phrases.** No cache in `internal/tts`. Confirmations, clarifies and
+refusals repeat constantly and their text is already fixed. Pre-rendering them is
+cheap and pays straight into the minimal-latency constraint.
+
+**Synthetic router dataset.** Generate Russian tool-calling examples from the same
+schemas that will build the dynamic grammars. One source of truth for both, so the
+model is trained on exactly the shapes it will be constrained to at inference.
+
+**Command STT separate from dictation STT.** One path today. Commands want latency
+and a small vocabulary, meeting capture wants accuracy and can take its time.
+`internal/capture` already spools to disk, so the split follows the existing seam.
+Medium priority, behind the four above.
+
+### Polish. Present, incomplete.
+
+**Strict JSON everywhere.** Done 02-08-2026. The replier sends
+`phraser.ResponseGrammar`. It is exported once so its two copies cannot drift.
+The meeting summariser is wrapped and unwrapped in the daemon's Completer, so
+`internal/capture` stays text-in/text-out. Every model call now carries a grammar.
+
+**Evidence-first prompting.** Done 02-08-2026, in the evidence branch of
+`PhraseQuery`. Sources arrive numbered, one per line. The system prompt no longer
+calls them all "заметки" and no longer lets the model add anything of its own.
+Blank sources now take the knowledge branch instead of asking for an answer from
+an empty list. Not yet measured against a live model. Run `make eval-phrasing`,
+and watch the case `query-notes-do-not-answer`.
+
+**Progressive inference.** What exists is a fallback cascade, not escalation. On
+error it drops to something weaker. It never escalates on ambiguity. The upgrade is
+held with the bigger-model question, and `gateLLMDecision` is the hook.
+
+**Entity dictionaries.** Nexus is the canonical store, `behavior_ru.go` has
+`KeyAliases`, `ecosystem_acts.go` has verb aliases. Morphology is the gap, and the
+code says so in three places. Russian needs it and there is no stemmer in the repo.
+
+**Assistant state machine.** `confirm.go` models pending confirmation and
+`dialogue.Session` models the turn. There is no unified task state. Reuse the
+Praxis vocabulary rather than inventing one, because surfaced, acknowledged and
+resolved already mean something precise here.
+
+**Session memory compiler.** The digestion tick, `internal/memory` and
+`followUpMerge` do parts of this. Not a coherent compile step.
+
+**Background memory maintenance.** Mostly present, and the absent part is small.
+What exists: `internal/memeval` reads recent memory on a loop and writes
+observations, deduped against its own prior output, unable to speak or act. Facts
+supersede at write time through `voidsID`, `CorrectValue` and `VoidLatestFact`,
+and `RecentActiveFactsByKind` reads only live rows. Digests, ecosystem traces and
+media all prune.
+
+Three gaps remain, all in the fact store:
+
+- Superseding is turn-driven. Nothing reconciles two live facts that contradict
+  unless a turn corrects one of them.
+- Duplicates written by different sources or phrasings stay as separate live rows.
+  There is no key-level merge pass.
+- Nothing expires. The log is append-only and grows without bound, and no fact
+  ever ages out on its own.
+
+Worth doing, and smaller than it looked. Not urgent.
+
+**Qwen CPT then narrow SFT.** In flight as #122. One disagreement with the idea as
+written: do not drop persona from the SFT. Persona is the stated reason the CPT
+exists, because stock writes `рад` where Maven needs `рада`. Keep the joint
+router-plus-persona tune.
+
+**Offline job queue.** The tick loop, `factEnrichmentWorker` with backoff, and the
+media prune already defer work. A general queue is tidier, not more capable. Low
+priority.
+
+**Response templates.** Present in `clarify.go`, in the `replySystem` arms and in
+`StubPhraser`. Worth extending to high-frequency confirmations, where latency and
+persona correctness both matter. Do not extend further. Templating the
+conversational reply removes the reason she is worth having.
+
+### Reject.
+
+**Grammar-first routing as a replacement for the LLM router.** Already measured.
+The classifier scores 36.8% full accuracy against 72.7% through the cascade.
+Replacing the model with rules halves the accuracy. Grammar-first as an ordering is
+what stage 0 already is, and that stays.
+
+**Hierarchical intent classification.** Seven intents is already the coarse layer.
+The specialisation stage exists as per-intent slot filling in `Extractor.Extract`.
+Adding a tier buys structure, not accuracy.
+
+**Tool-specific micro-models.** Contradicts the one-resident-model constraint,
+needs per-domain training data nobody has, and multiplies model loads on a single
+Vega iGPU. Dynamic grammars give the same domain narrowing at zero runtime cost.
+
+**Local knowledge graph.** Nexus owns entities and relationships. Building a second
+graph in Maven breaks the ecosystem line and creates two answers to one question.
+If graph traversal is wanted, it is a Nexus feature request.
+
+**Preemptible training.** Training runs in a separate workspace, not on the serving
+box. This only becomes real if CPT moves onto homesrv, and that is not the plan.
+
+## Known open, carried over from the deleted handoff
+
+Found live on 2026-08-01, not fixed. Everything else in that file was stale.
+
+- **Kiwix ranks badly on a correct query.** The stop-word pass eats the "and". So
+  "кто написал войну и мир" reaches Kiwix as "war peace author". The top hit is
+  "List of peace activists" and she summarises that as the answer. The tag
+  `scrapped/fact-and-kiwix-phrases` fixes the query text. The ranking is the ZIM
+  search and is untouched either way.
+- **Chat drags prior turns into an answer.** One live reply mixed the greeting, the
+  height statement and a world question. It named Левитан as the author of Война и
+  мир.
+- **`safeKey` drops Cyrillic**, so Russian calendar events on one day collide.
+  Vikunja #443 with three fix options. It is a migration, not a patch.
+
+## Open after the 02-08-2026 deploy
+
+SearXNG runs on homesrv at `http://searxng:9563`, on `maven_default`, and the
+rebuilt `mavend` wires it. "кто написал войну и мир?" now routes to query, takes
+4 results off the search, and answers Толстой with the lookup opener. Two things
+that turn left unsettled.
+
+- **The turn was slow, and nobody knows yet whether that is real.** Route 7s,
+  search 1s, phrasing 15s. The p50 in `docs/evals/2026-07-31-routing.md` is 825ms. It
+  was the first turn after a cold start with the model still warming, so it
+  proves nothing either way. Re-run the same question warm before treating it as
+  a regression. Do not plan latency work off this number.
+- **The personal boundary has never run live.** `queryPersonal` in
+  `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go` stops a question about him from reaching
+  SearXNG. The question above is not one, so only tests cover it. Ask something
+  about him on the deployed box and confirm from the log that no `voice: search`
+  line appears for it.
+
+## Sequence
+
+1. Failure taxonomy over the fixture.
+2. Ablation runner, plus ids and trace lines for the existing rules.
+3. Dynamic grammar for the act fn allowlist.
+4. Dynamic grammar for Hexis capability ids.
+5. Dynamic grammar for calendar names and known fact keys.
+6. Extend the personal boundary to the ecosystem stores.
+
+Steps 1 and 2 come before anything is written in the router.

+# gemma-4-12b on the workstation, against the resident Qwen3-1.7B
+
+Measured 2026-08-02 on the fixtures as they stand. Dated file: it is not edited
+after today, and a newer number is a new file.
+
+Vikunja #485's first assumption was that a 7-14B measurably beats Qwen3-1.7B on
+the 77-case RU routing fixture and the 27-case talk fixture. It does, on both,
+and it is also faster.
+
+## The setup
+
+`gemma-4-12B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL` with the `mtp-gemma-4-12B-it-BF16` draft model,
+served by `llama-server` b10220 on bugmachine (AMD 7900 GRE, 16GB), fronted by
+`mavgpud` on `192.168.1.105:8080`. Thinking is off through
+`--chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking":false}'`, speculative decoding is
+`--spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 2`, context 32768. The exact line is
+`deploy/mavgpud.json`.
+
+Every number below crossed the LAN from homesrv. Note the trap: homesrv's shell
+exports `HTTP_PROXY`, Go honours it, and the runs need
+`env -u HTTP_PROXY -u HTTPS_PROXY -u http_proxy -u https_proxy`.
+
+## Routing, 77-case RU fixture
+
+| | full | intent-only | p50 | p95 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| classifier alone (02-08) | 68.8% | — | 16.6µs | — |
+| Qwen3-1.7B through the cascade (31-07, 02-08) | 72.7% | 77.9% | 0.80-1.04s | — |
+| **gemma-4-12b through the cascade** | **84.4%** | **93.5%** | **329ms** | 429ms |
+| gemma-4-12b alone, no cascade | 55.8% | 85.7% | 335ms | 436ms |
+
+The workstation buys 11.7 points of full accuracy over the resident model. It
+buys 15.6 points of intent-only, at a third of the latency. The router's p50 was
+never the model's fault, which the 02-08 contention finding already said. A 12B
+on a free 16GB card answers a routing turn in a third of a second.
+
+Two things the table hides.
+
+The alone-versus-cascade gap is slots, not intents. gemma reads the intent right
+85.7% of the time on its own. It loses full accuracy on seven fact keys
+(`вода` instead of `water`, `ужин` instead of `meal`) and on six reminder times
+with no time slot. Stage 0 and the daemon's own extractor repair
+both, which is why the cascade is 28 points higher. The lesson is that the
+cascade earns its keep even under a much better model, not that it is scaffolding
+to remove.
+
+`errors: 6` in the alone row are declines on single-token and ambiguous
+utterances, all of which the cascade caught. The remaining defects through the
+cascade are three `query→fact` confusions, one `chat→query`, and one false
+clarify.
+
+## Talk, 27-case conversational fixture
+
+| | pass | notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Qwen3-1.7B (31-07) | 20/27 | 11-17/27 for the 0.8B before it |
+| **gemma-4-12b** | **25/27 (92.6%)** | chat 8/9, knowledge 9/9, query 8/9 |
+
+Knowledge is the interesting column: 9/9, in Russian, with real answers about
+Rayleigh scattering, SSD versus HDD and thunder delay. That is the case the
+1.7B cannot do at all and the reason the naming half of the degradation rule
+exists.
+
+Two failures, and one of them is the persona defect the CPT (#122) targets:
+`query-notes-do-not-answer` wrote `заплатил` where Maven needs the feminine
+form. The other is `chat-joke`, where the model told a joke without using any of
+the words the check looks for. Run-to-run variance is about one case: a second
+run scored 24/27 with `chat-followup-server` also off-topic.
+
+## Nudge phrasing, 15-case fixture
+
+15/15, every check, no errors. `mood`, `lang`, `length`, `feminine`,
+`hisgender`, `address`, `cringe` and `ontopic` all clean.
+
+## What this settles and what it does not
+
+Settled: the size question. A 12B on the workstation beats the resident model on
+every fixture we have, and it is faster. The offload argument holds.
+
+Not settled: how often the card is free. That is #485's second assumption and
+only the `mavgpud` log answers it, after a week of the owner's normal work. A
+model that is better whenever it is up is worth little if it is never up.

+# Where the resident model's 7.9GB of RSS goes (2026-08-03, homesrv)
+
+Measured for Vikunja #499. The deployed llama-server held 7.9GB RSS for a 1.1GB
+model file. Half a gigabyte of it was in swap, on a box that also runs
+whisper.cpp, piper and the embedder.
+
+## Method
+
+`maven-mavend-1` was stopped for the measurement, with the owner's approval.
+Its own binary then ran on the host with the exact deployed command line. That
+binary is `/opt/maven/bin/llama-server`, version `1 (4c65955)`, a Vulkan build.
+
+```sh
+llama-server -m /mnt/hdd1/llms/qwen3/Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf \
+  --host 127.0.0.1 --port 18099 -c 4096 -ngl 99 --no-webui
+```
+
+RSS was read from `/proc/<pid>/status` after load and after each of 8 distinct
+1521-token prompts. `smaps` of the deployed process was read first, from inside
+the container, since the host user cannot read another user's maps.
+
+## The cause: the prompt cache, not the weights and not the offload
+
+The startup log says it outright:
+
+```text
+srv load_model: prompt cache is enabled, size limit: 8192 MiB
+srv llama_server: n_parallel is set to auto, using n_parallel = 4 and kv_unified = true
+```
+
+The server saves the full KV state of every idle slot it evicts. It keeps up to
+8GiB of those states in host RAM (llama.cpp PR 16391). One saved prompt of 1521
+tokens costs 166.377 MiB. That is 112 kiB per token, exactly Qwen3-1.7B's KV
+footprint (28 layers x 2 x 1024 dims x 2 bytes).
+
+RSS at rest, and per distinct prompt:
+
+| Prompts served | RSS, default | RSS, `--cache-ram 512` |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 (just loaded) | 443 MB | 411 MB |
+| 1 | 445 MB | 411 MB |
+| 4 | 958 MB | 929 MB |
+| 8 | 1641 MB | 932 MB |
+
+Uncapped, RSS climbs about 170MB per distinct prompt and does not stop until
+the 8GiB limit. Capped at 512 MiB it plateaus at 932MB from the fourth prompt
+on, with the cache holding steady at `3 prompts, 499.132 MiB` and evicting.
+
+The 7.9GB on the running daemon was that climb, weeks of it. Its `smaps` showed
+one 6.03GB anonymous mapping at 5.32GB resident plus a 1.45GB mapping at 1.27GB
+resident, and only 30MB of file-backed RSS.
+
+## The task's leading guess was wrong
+
+`-ngl 99` on the Vega iGPU costs almost no process RSS. A freshly loaded server
+has 95MB of anonymous RSS in total. RADV allocates device memory through the
+kernel, outside the process, and the log sees 8202 MiB free on `Vulkan0`. The
+weights are mmapped and file-backed, so they are evictable and do not pin RSS. The logit buffer is not visible in the numbers above at all.
+
+## Decision
+
+`--cache-ram 512` is now the default, wired as `phraser.cache_ram_mib` and set
+in `deploy/mavend.json`. 512 MiB caps total RSS near 1GB, an eighth of what the
+box carried. It still holds three of the 1521-token probes above. Maven's real
+routing and phrasing prompts are much shorter, so it holds more of those than
+the table suggests. `-c 4096` is untouched, as #499
+required. A negative `cache_ram_mib` passes no flag, for a llama-server too old
+to know it.
+
+Not changed: `n_parallel = 4`. With `kv_unified = true` the four slots share one
+4096-token KV cache, so they do not multiply it.
+
+The other half of #499 was that none of these lines were reachable. mavend
+scraped llama-server's stderr for the listen line and discarded it, and never
+piped stdout at all. Both streams now go to mavend's log with a `llama:` prefix.
+The last 12 startup lines go into the error when the server dies before it
+listens.
+
+## Deployed
+
+The `mavenai:latest` image was rebuilt and `maven-mavend-1` recreated the same
+day. The daemon's own log now carries the child's startup, it reads
+`prompt cache is enabled, size limit: 512 MiB`, and the resident server sat at
+439MB RSS after load and 613MB after one served turn.

+# Personal boundary, seed scoring vs possession markers, 2026-08-03
+
+Vikunja #495. `что я говорил про бэкапы?` walked past the personal boundary into
+SearXNG and came back answered from a Habr article. The boundary matched
+possession words only, so a first-person speech verb was not a personal
+question.
+
+## What changed
+
+The boundary now scores the turn's query vector against two frozen seed sets.
+It claims the turn when the personal side is nearer than the world side. Seeds
+and code are in `cmd/mavend/personalboundary.go`. The possession markers stay as
+the offline floor for a handler with no embedder.
+
+A regex speech class was written first and dropped. Russian gives every verb a
+dozen surface forms, and the "как я говорил, ..." preamble list has no end. Each
+form the lexicon missed was one more question reaching the world.
+
+## Measurement
+
+Embedder: multilingual-e5-small int8, the one homesrv runs. Both sides are
+embedded on the query side. Cases are held out, none of them a seed. `make test`
+runs the offline part. The scored part is opt-in through `MAVEN_ONNX_LIB`, like

+# Recall topic veto, what it costs and what it buys, 2026-08-03
+
+Vikunja #496. The task asked for a cross-language fix. Skip the topic veto in
+`memory.RecallAllowed` when the question and the hit are in different scripts.
+An English question would then stop losing a Russian note.
+
+No such case exists. No fixture case puts the question and its wanted note in
+different scripts. The case the task named is not one either.
+
+    en-hard-024
+      query  "what fixed the screen problem"
+      note   "the flicker went away once i swapped the display cable"
+
+Both are English. It is a paraphrase failure, not a language failure. A script
+test would not have changed a single case, and neither would a bilingual stem
+map.
+
+## What the veto is worth today
+
+Measured with the real embedder, multilingual-e5-small int8, gate 0.55, margin
+0.008. The first row is the veto as it ships. The second is `RecallAllowed`
+forced to true.
+
+| | cases passing | answered | false recall | silenced by gate |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| veto on | 22/32 | 17/27 | 0/5 | 2 |
+| veto off | 22/32 | 18/27 | 1/5 | 1 |
+
+The pass count does not move. The veto trades one true recall for one false one.
+It costs `en-hard-024` and it buys `ru-silent-029`:
+
+    ru-silent-029
+      query  "во сколько отходит поезд"
+      note   "погулял вдоль реки"        0.835, margin 0.019
+
+The second case counted as silenced by the gate is `ru-home-026` at margin
+0.001, which the margin gate stops. The veto has nothing to do with it.
+
+## Why no lexical rule separates the two
+
+`en-hard-024` and `ru-silent-029` are in the same lexical class. Both questions
+share zero content words with their hit, and neither carries a first-person
+marker. The scores sit on top of each other, 0.826 against 0.835, and so do the
+margins, 0.023 against 0.019. Only one thing separates them. A screen problem
+and a swapped display cable are the same event. A train and a river walk are
+not. The embedder scores that difference at nine thousandths.
+
+So the signal is semantic and the gate is lexical. Any rule cheap enough to sit
+in `RecallAllowed` and strong enough to recover `en-hard-024` also re-admits
+`ru-silent-029`, which puts false recall back to 1/5.
+
+One near-miss rule was tried on paper and rejected: let the veto pass when the
+hit itself is first person. It works on these two, because the English note says
+"i swapped" and the Russian note says only "погулял". It is backwards as a
+principle. A first-person note is exactly the personal note the veto keeps away
+from a world question. The rule would weaken the veto where it was designed to
+bite. It survives here only because Russian drops the pronoun.
+
+## Decision
+
+Accept the loss. `en-hard-024` stays silenced and false recall stays 0/5.
+
+The way out is a reranker, not a longer word list. Recall@3 is 85.2% against
+recall@1 at 70.4%, so the right note is usually in the returned set and ranked
+wrong. That is where the remaining points are, and it is not this task.

+# Offloading model work to the workstation
+
+*Last verified: 2026-08-03 @ 12530c8. Living doc: correct it in place, do not append.*
+
+Owner's call, 2026-08-02. Vikunja #483 is the umbrella. Tasks #484 to #487 are the
+work, and this file holds the shape and the rules all four must obey.
+
+## The goal
+
+homesrv cannot grow a GPU. The workstation has 16GB of VRAM. Move the model work
+to the workstation and leave homesrv running the logic that must be always-on,
+deterministic and cheap.
+
+## Why this is tractable
+
+The split already exists structurally. `mavsttd` and `mavttsd` are separate
+daemons that core reaches over a socket, not linked libraries. Moving them off-box
+is a transport change, not a redesign.
+
+The microphone is at the workstation, because that is where the owner sits and
+homesrv is headless. So speech-to-text and the wake word are already on the
+workstation side by construction. Audio never has to cross the LAN. Only the core
+turn does.
+
+## The constraint that shapes everything
+
+The workstation's GPU is often busy: CPT runs, experiments, Correx, the manga-recap
+pipeline. It also sleeps. homesrv does not.
+
+So an offloaded model is never *the* model. It is the preferred one, with a floor
+on homesrv. That is the shape the cascade already has, where a router error falls
+through to the classifier.
+
+## The degradation rule
+
+Two cases, and the line between them is sharp.
+
+**Fall back silently** when the workstation model would only do the job *better*:
+routing, phrasing, a nudge. Falling back costs nothing that exists today, because
+the resident Qwen3-1.7B is today's production quality. The owner should not be told
+that his reply was phrased by the smaller model.
+
+**Name the gap** when the resident model cannot do the job *at all*. A world
+question that a 1.7B answers by inventing is the case. A wrong answer is worse
+than "не могу сейчас". This is the rule CLAUDE.md already states for a sibling
+service being down.
+
+Nothing in between. A turn never breaks on the workstation being asleep.
+
+Both halves are wired, 03-08-2026. `LLMPhraser.PhraseWorld`
+(`internal/phraser/world.go`) is the naming half and has three outcomes, not two:
+
+| State | What he hears |
+|---|---|
+| no `workstation` block | the resident model answers, exactly as before the seam existed |
+| configured, card free | the workstation answers |
+| configured, asleep or busy | the gap, `worldGap` in `cmd/mavend/worldmodel.go` |
+
+The first row is the one worth stating. Naming a gap requires a gap. On a box with
+no second model the 1.7B is the whole product. Refusing every world question there
+would remove a capability the owner has today.
+
+A source holding a passage is on the naming half too: a live search, a ZIM
+article, a page he named. None of them says "не могу сейчас". They read the
+passage back, which is what `phraseSource` returning `""` selects. A real quote
+beats a gap, and neither path invents.
+
+## Admission control, not a scheduler
+
+There is no GPU arbiter. That is a service with its own failure modes, and nothing
+here needs work *distributed*. It needs admission control. The workstation
+advertises free VRAM over a health endpoint, and Maven treats it as one more query
+source that claims a turn or passes. llama-server also refuses to load when VRAM is
+short, so the failure is detectable without cooperation from the owner's other
+jobs.
+
+The caller must be able to ask "is this peer usable right now" without a turn
+hanging on a timeout. A dead remote is a normal state, not an error state.
+`internal/llm.Pair` is that check on the Maven side. A prober caches the answer,
+so `Available()` is an atomic read and no turn pays for a health check.
+
+llama-server does not stay up on the workstation. It cannot: a resident 7-14B
+would hold 16GB against the owner's CPT runs. So a supervisor there owns its
+lifecycle, keeps it loaded while the card is free, and unloads it on idle or
+when another process needs the card (owner's call, 2026-08-02, Vikunja #488).
+
+That supervisor is still not a scheduler, and the distinction is worth holding.
+It arbitrates nothing between callers. It reports whether it can take work and
+manages one process to back that answer. Maven never asks it to start anything
+and never learns that it did.
+
+Contention is decided by presence under `/sys/class/kfd/kfd/proc`, not by a VRAM
+threshold. A ROCm process registers there when it initialises HIP, before it
+allocates anything. So the supervisor sees a contender during that job's startup,
+and yields before the job loses the memory it asked for. A
+threshold reads the card too late. By the time free VRAM has dropped, the other
+job has already lost the allocation race. Free VRAM is still read, but only as a
+precondition for loading, never as the eviction signal. One blind spot is known.
+A job can take the card without registering on the KFD, as a Vulkan or a
+video-decode job would. `describe()` logs every contender's comm, and that log is
+how we find out whether the blind spot is real.
+
+`mavgpud` runs from a systemd unit on the workstation with
+`deploy/mavgpud.json` as its config, and `llama_args` is passed to llama-server
+untouched. The model, the context size, the layer count and the MTP flags are the
+owner's business and not this daemon's schema.
+
+## What stays on homesrv, permanently
+
+The **embedder** (multilingual-e5-small, ONNX, CPU). It backs the classifier, which
+must answer while the GPU is saturated. It is also cheap enough on CPU that moving
+it buys nothing. Four callers:
+
+| Caller | What for |
+|---|---|
+| `internal/router/classifier.go` | the routing floor |
+| `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go` (`queryEmbed`) | memory recall |
+| `cmd/mavend/feeds.go` | ingest embedding for every RSS item |
+| `internal/crawl/watch.go` | ingest embedding for every crawled page |
+
+`internal/speaker` becomes a fifth once it lands.
+
+## Inventory: what runs a model on homesrv today
+
+The **resident model** is one llama-server with seven callers, and 03-08-2026 is
+the date each of them stopped or did not stop being resident-only:
+
+| Caller | What for | Offloaded |
+|---|---|---|
+| `cmd/mavend/voicewire.go` | routing | silently, through `hot` |
+| `cmd/mavend/replier_llm.go` | replies | silently, through `hot` |
+| `cmd/mavend/tick.go` | digestion worker: `PhraseNudge`, `PhraseReminder` | silently, inside the phraser |
+| `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go` | world questions, and any fetched passage | names the gap |
+| `cmd/mavend/capture.go` | capture summarisation (unreachable, see #480) | no, holds its own client |
+| `cmd/mavend/mail.go` | mail extraction (off, no IMAP) | no, holds its own client |
+| `memoryeval.go`, `modelswap.go` | admin and evals | no, and deliberately |
+
+The last three rows are resident-only on purpose. `memoryeval.go` and
+`modelswap.go` measure and swap the resident model, so sending their work
+elsewhere would measure the wrong thing. `capture.go` and `mail.go` are
+background jobs that hold a gated background client (`llmBackgroundClientFor`),
+and that priority has no equivalent on the remote yet. Both are also unreachable
+on this deploy, so wiring them would ship an untestable path.
+
+The `tick.go` row needs one caveat. `phraser.llm_nudges` is `false` in deploy, so
+nudges come from templates and the seam under them changes nothing until that
+flips. It is wired anyway: `PhraseReminder` is on the same transport and is on.
+
+Then the embedder above, **whisper.cpp** in `mavsttd`, and **piper** in `mavttsd`.
+`mavwaked` uses no model at all: an energy-threshold VAD over 30ms frames.
+
+## Order
+
+1. **Transport** (#484). Nothing else is possible until a seam can cross a host.
+   `internal/netaddr` landed in PR #92. A seam address now carries its own scheme,
+   and a scheme-less one is still unix. A tcp seam requires a shared token, because
+   the filesystem permission that authenticated the unix socket is gone.
+2. **The resident model** (#485, #490). Wired. A `workstation` block builds an
+   `llm.Pair` in `modelSeam` (`cmd/mavend/voicewire.go`), routing and replies
+   complete through it, and the phraser holds the same pair (`UseRemote`). Both
+   halves of the rule are live: see the table above for which caller gets which.
+   Measured, `docs/evals/2026-08-02-workstation-gemma4-12b.md`: gemma-4-12b
+   through the cascade scores 84.4% full accuracy at p50 329ms. The resident
+   model scores 72.7% at p50 0.80-1.04s. On the talk fixture it is 25/27
+   against 20/27. Biggest quality delta. A 16GB card runs a 7-14B,
+   which fixes what the 1.7B gets wrong: world knowledge, and the persona the CPT
+   targets. The degradation path is already written and measured, since the
+   classifier scores 68.8% full accuracy at p50 16.6µs on its own.
+3. **Speech-to-text and text-to-speech** (#486). They gain a real margin, but on
+   quality alone, and both already work.
+4. **The wake word** (#487). Independent of all of the above.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- The LAN is trusted enough that wireguard is supported but not required (owner's
+  call). What crosses the wire is still his utterances. That is why the tcp seam
+  carries its own token instead of assuming a network boundary.
+- The workstation is not expected to be up. Every child task must still serve a
+  turn while it is down.

+# QA plan: checking Maven properly
+
+*Last verified: 2026-08-02 @ 20aa2d5. Living doc: correct it in place, do not append.*
+
+Written 2026-08-01, after the 35-PR stack landed and the box came back up.
+Refreshed 2026-08-02 against the live list, after PRs #85-#90.
+
+42 of the 50 open Vikunja tasks are `QA:` tasks. They are verification work, not
+build work. Most sat unverifiable while Maven was down for 11 days. That
+blocker is gone.
+
+The plan as written on 2026-08-01 named 40 task numbers. Ten open `QA:` tasks were
+missing and two of the named ones had closed. Every open task now appears below,
+the eight non-QA ones in the last two sections.
+
+This plan orders them by what unblocks what. Do sessions 1 and 2 first. Almost everything
+downstream assumes the voice loop works, and nobody has confirmed that since
+the redeploy.
+
+---
+
+## What the 02-08-2026 run found
+
+Sessions 1, 2 and 3 all ran. Read these five before picking anything up.
+
+- **470: a question writes invented knowledge into memory.** Recall then serves
+  it back. `что дальше?` lands on `IntentFact` and stores the model's answer as a
+  `self` fact at confidence 1.00. Two junk rows then claimed seven unrelated
+  world questions through recall, outranking the search leg. A question about the
+  capital of Australia was answered `какая последняя версия языка Go?`. Two bad
+  writes silently disabled world answering, with nothing logged.
+- **466: a pending clarify is global.** One unanswerable clarify swallowed the
+  next three utterances from three separate sessions. With ntfy, telegram and
+  voice all live, a clarify raised on web chat eats the next telegram message.
+- **467: spoken task capture is dead.** The router calls the capture marker an
+  `act`, and capture is reachable only from the `note` intent.
+- **The classifier baseline in this repo was wrong**, and it flattered the
+  router. See session 2 and **464**.
+- **477: the model swap and the self-update cannot be triggered on this box.**
+  Both are built and both are correct in test. The swap needs a passkey and
+  WebAuthn is unconfigured. `mavupdate` needs to reach a socket that only an
+  in-container uid can open.
+
+- **479: an unconfigured capability lets the question escape to web search.**
+  Netscan off, asked `какие устройства в сети?`. She answered from the live web
+  with a general article about network hardware. A question about his LAN went to
+  an upstream engine. The crawler fails the same way.
+
+Twenty-one defects were filed on 02-08-2026: 462 through 482. Six tasks this plan
+had written off as blocked turned out to be ready to check. All six ran. Every
+one of them is code-correct and stops at the deploy.
+
+Three of the five config blockers in **472** were then cleared. The morning
+routine, ambient ingest, feeds, the crawler and netscan are all live. Two remain,
+and both are the owner's call: a token for each ecosystem sibling, and seed data
+in Nexus and Praxis.
+
+---
+
+## Before you start
+
+Two things bite anyone running these checks on homesrv.
+
+**curl needs `--noproxy '*'`.** The shell exports `http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:18080`.
+Without the flag, every local check returns 503 from the proxy and looks like a
+dead service. This cost me a false regression report today.
+
+**The database is not readable with sqlite3.** Four older QA steps say
+`docker compose exec mavend sqlite3 /data/maven.db "select ..."`. That cannot
+work: the container has no `sqlite3` binary, and the store is AES-256-GCM at
+rest with a tmpfs working copy. Read state through mavweb instead, at
+`/history`, `/trace`, `/routines` and `/dash`.
+
+---
+
+## Session 1: the voice loop (half a day)
+
+Nothing here has been confirmed since the redeploy, and everything else assumes
+it works. Do this first.
+
+Closes or advances: **44** (conversation), **45** (text chat), **287** (voice
+session quality), **321** steps 3-5 (quiet mode), **288** (STT golden audio).
+
+**288 is not blocked.** The fixtures are committed under `cmd/mavsttd/testdata/`
+and `make test-stt-golden` runs today. This plan said otherwise until 02-08-2026.
+
+Steps 1 and 3-6 were run on 02-08-2026 and pass. Steps 2 and 7-9 still need a
+person at the box, because they need a microphone or a nudge to arrive.
+
+Steps 1 and 3-6 do not need a browser. `POST /api/chat` takes a form-encoded
+`text=` field and a cookie jar, and answers with the rendered `/chat` page:
+
+```sh
+curl -s --noproxy '*' -c jar -b jar -L -X POST \
+  http://127.0.0.1:9201/api/chat --data-urlencode 'text=привет'
+```
+
+Parse the whole page, not the last text node. The page carries nav and footer
+text. A naive tail of the Cyrillic nodes returns the wrong string, which makes
+turns look misaligned when they are not.
+
+1. Open `http://127.0.0.1:9201/chat` and hold a short conversation in Russian.
+   Watch for three things: she answers in feminine forms (`рада`, `поняла`), she
+   says `ты` and never `вы`, and no pet names appear.
+   **Passes** (02-08-2026, five turns): `я рада`, `поняла`, `помогла`,
+   `проверила`, `записала`, `грустна`, `ты` throughout, no pet names.
+2. Press push-to-talk on `/dash`. Say `привет`. Confirm a spoken reply comes
+   back. This is the only check that covers mic to STT to core to TTS to
+   speaker as one path. It is also the path the eleven-day outage most likely
+   broke.
+3. Say `тихий режим`. Expect `тихий режим включён. буду реже напоминать.` **Passes.**
+4. Say `выключи тихий режим`. Expect `тихий режим выключен.` Negation must win. **Passes.**
+5. Say `в комнате тихо`. Quiet mode must NOT flip. Confirm on `/history` that no
+   `quiet_hours` fact was written. **Passes**: no row written. She answers `пока
+   не умею отвечать на этот вопрос.`, so it lands on `IntentSystem` with no arm.
+6. Say `включи режим тишины`, then `сделай потише`. Both must flip quiet mode
+   on. These are the noun form and the comparative, added 01-08-2026. **Both pass.**
+7. Wait for a nudge, then say `потом` within twenty minutes. Expect `хорошо,
+   вернусь к этому позже.` and the nudge row on `/notifications` reading
+   `snoozed`. Say `потом` again with nothing pending: it must route as an
+   ordinary utterance, not be swallowed.
+8. Wait for the water nudge, then say `выпил воды`. Expect the ordinary fact
+   reply and nothing extra. She must not congratulate you. Check
+   `/notifications`: the row reads `acted`. Then trigger another nudge and say
+   `готово`. Expect `отлично, отметила.` and the same outcome.
+9. Note anything where she is slow, cuts off, or talks over herself. That is
+   287's whole content and it has no written acceptance criteria yet.
+   **First evidence, in text** (02-08-2026): nothing breaks, but answers wander
+   and stitch unrelated topics. Asked whether he should move flats, she opened
+   with the weather. That is 287, and it is a phrasing problem, not a loop problem.
+
+**The wake path cannot be checked as deployed.** `mavwaked` and `mavenclient`
+appear in no compose file and run as no host process. Step 2 covers only
+push-to-talk, from `/dash` through mavsttd and mavttsd. Wake word and VAD
+are untested by construction. Decide whether they belong in compose or on a
+client machine, and say which in the deploy docs. Tracked as **463**.
+
+**319's single-token bug is fixed** (01-08-2026). Single-word Russian utterances no longer come
+back as `не совсем поняла — можешь переформулировать?`. `привет` and `поужинал`
+both pass now: `thinSingleToken` spares social singles and any token carrying a
+verb ending, and only thins a bare nominal like `вода`. A one-word utterance that
+still gets clarified in this session is a new case for the lexicon, not the old bug.
+
+---
+
+## Session 2: measurement (half a day, mostly waiting)
+
+Closes or advances: **320** items 2-4, **278** (make the eval lab routine).
+Also **248** (memory evaluation), **319** (the margin gate) and **323** (the
+startup timeout arm).
+
+The resident llama-server cannot be reached by the eval harness. It binds
+`--host 127.0.0.1 --port 0` inside the container, so the port is kernel-assigned
+and never published. Start a second one on a fixed port instead:
+
+```sh
+llama-server -m /mnt/hdd1/llms/qwen3/Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf \
+  --host 127.0.0.1 --port 18100 -c 4096 -ngl 99 --no-webui
+```
+
+`-c 4096` matters. The recorded numbers were measured at that context size, and
+a mismatch invalidates the comparison.
+
+Then:
+
+```sh
+make eval-models MAVEN_LLM_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18100   # want ~72.7% cascade
+make eval-router                                         # classifier baseline
+MAVEN_LLM_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18100 make eval-phrasing  # persona checks, slow
+make eval-recall
+```
+
+A large miss against 72.7% means the deploy differs from the bench harness.
+
+**Run on 02-08-2026 @ af9d213. The deploy matches the bench.** `eval-models`
+scored 56 of 77: 72.7% full, 77.9% intent-only, 2 false clarifies and 1 missed.
+That is the recorded figure to the decimal, and calendar sat at 2 of 2, so the
+stage 0 agenda rules hold. `eval-phrasing` scored 21 of 27 on the talk fixture
+against a recorded 20, and the 15 nudge templates passed every check.
+
+Two numbers in this repo were wrong, and both flattered the resident model.
+
+- **The classifier is not 36.8% and not 31ms.** `make eval-router` reports
+  `classifier+onnx: 53/77 (68.8% full)` at p50 16.6µs. The figure repeated here
+  and in `CLAUDE.md` predates the stage 0 rules and the seed additions. Both now
+  score inside that baseline. The accuracy gap the router buys is
+  roughly 4 points, not 36. Re-argue the trade on the real numbers: **464**.
+- **Router latency was measured under contention again.** p50 1.126s, p95 1.58s,
+  max 3.24s, against a recorded p50 825ms. The resident model was serving the
+  daemon on the same iGPU throughout. Do not record this as a regression, and do
+  not record it as a measurement either. Stop the stack before timing the router.
+
+`classifier+hash` scores 19.5%, which is the no-ONNX degraded path and is not the
+failure floor the deploy uses. Do not quote it as the classifier baseline.
+
+Then three things to decide while the numbers are in front of you:
+
+- **319 is done.** 359 gave the LLM path a real confidence signal.
+  `thinSingleToken` was narrowed on 01-08-2026, and agenda questions moved to
+  stage 0. Missed clarify sits at 1 of 6 and false clarifies at 2. Item 2 point 2
+  closed on 02-08-2026: the `make eval-recall` margin sweep is the distribution
+  that was asked for, and `0.008` sits at the knee.
+
+  | delta | answered | false recall |
+  |---|---|---|
+  | 0.005 | 18/27 | 2/5 |
+  | **0.008** | **18/27** | **1/5** |
+  | 0.010 | 16/27 | 1/5 |
+
+  It removes four of five false recalls at no cost in answers, and the next step
+  costs two answers for nothing. The hand-picked value survives on evidence.
+- **278's real ask** is making the eval lab routine rather than building it. It
+  is built. Decide whether it runs on a timer, on every merge, or on demand, and
+  the task can close.
+- **248** is the memory evaluation loop. It ships, it writes notes, and it cannot
+  speak. `make eval-recall` covers the retrieval half. The open question is whether
+  a written evaluation nobody reads is worth the tick.
+
+**323 is down to one check.** PR #90 covered the spawn path and took phraser
+coverage to 76.9%. Only the 60s startup timeout arm is untested, because testing it
+needs a `StartupTimeout` field on `Config` rather than a test-only hack. While you
+are on the box, time a cold 1.7B load off spinning disk. If it runs near 60s, the
+default is too tight and the field earns itself twice.
+
+Warm, it is nowhere near. A second llama-server answered `/health` 1.8s after
+launch at `n_ctx 4096` on 02-08-2026. That is page cache, so it does not settle
+the question. A cold read needs a cache drop, which needs root.
+
+**`CheckFeminine` has a false positive.** On 02-08-2026 it failed
+`query-notes-do-not-answer` for `ты заплатил`, calling it masculine
+self-reference. Masculine second person is correct, because the owner is male.
+The check matches a masculine
+past-tense verb before `за` without confirming the subject is `я`. Fix it in
+`internal/phraser/eval/checks.go` before trusting a phrasing score to the case.
+The real talk-fixture score on that run is 22 of 27, not 21. Tracked as **462**.
+
+Item 4 of **320** needs a permission I do not have. Kill the `llama-server`
+pid under `maven-mavend-1`, post a turn, and confirm it still completes
+through the classifier. Either grant it or run it yourself. It is the only
+check that the failure floor catches a mid-session model death.
+
+---
+
+## Session 3: the interaction batch (a day, or five sittings)
+
+These need real use rather than a command, grouped by what one sitting covers.
+
+**Morning and delivery** (**280**, **281**, **128**, **282**, **283**, **285**):
+open `/morning`, walk the seven required behaviours, then check the four
+interruption outcomes and the digest gap. **282** needs the `desk_active` script
+enabled on the desk PC first, which is **15** and needs you at that machine.
+**283** is the event intake envelope every reach shares, so a delivery check
+exercises it whether you name it or not. **285** is not verification: the bridge
+framework works and the remaining ask is more adapters. Decide which reach comes
+next, or park it.
+
+Run 02-08-2026. **280 is blocked.** No morning routine is configured (**472**).
+`morning.Item` also has no required-versus-optional field, so behaviour 1 cannot
+hold whatever you configure (**473**). **281's digest gap is closed**, and
+its presence rule passes on inspection. Three of its five items need traffic the
+box has not had. **283 is blocked**: nothing feeds the intake journal. **128
+found the worst defect of the whole session, see below.**
+
+Three of 472's five blockers were cleared the same day, in `deploy/mavend.json`
+and `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+- A `morning_routines` block, one routine `утро` 08:00-11:00 with medicine,
+  water and pets. It is live: the dispatcher logged `dropped morning:утро (sev1,
+  presence=away)`, so the plan builds and the nudge is proposed. 280's
+  behaviours and 128 step 11 are checkable now. 473 still stands.
+- `-ambient-token` on mavweb, value in a gitignored `/.env` that docker compose
+  reads for interpolation. `/api/ambient` answers 401 without the token and 201
+  with it, storing `calendar_event_20260802_Standup`. 283 step 5 and 128 step 8
+  are unblocked. The token is a flag, so it shows in `ps` inside that container.
+  The zenmoney and IMAP secrets are read from files instead. Ingest also
+  reads the notification's wall clock as UTC and stores a 14:30 meeting at 18:30
+  (**482**).
+- `feeds` (two sources), `crawl.on_demand` and `netscan.enabled`. The intake
+  journal now fills: `/events` holds `scan:lan` and `ambient:notif` rows.
+
+Two are not mine to clear. No sibling has a `token` in `deploy/mavend.json`, so
+273 steps 6 and 8 need a credential decision. Nexus has no entities and Praxis no
+attention items, so 272 step 3 needs seed data whose content is the owner's call.
+
+For **285**, two facts bear on the choice. Synapse is already running on this box
+and healthy, so a Matrix reach has a live target and needs no new service. And
+mavweb is already a PWA with a service worker, which 285 itself calls the highest
+value adapter left. Today's reaches are ntfy, telegram and voice.
+
+**Query sources** (**258**, **286**): ask her something the RSS feeds answer and
+something only a ZIM answers, with the search block on. Live search leads and the
+ZIMs are the fallback since 02-08-2026. **286**'s remaining half is doc and
+git ingestion, which is build work, not a check.
+
+**Do not read `/trace` for this.** `/trace` is the nudge-rule trace: rule,
+severity, predicate, gate, selected. No query-source field exists anywhere in the
+codebase. The only evidence of which query source claimed a turn is the
+`voice: search:` and `voice: kiwix:` lines in `docker compose logs mavend`
+(`actions_query.go:589` and `:660`).
+
+Run 02-08-2026, 20 turns. **Search leads and the personal boundary holds.** Every
+world question that reached the boundary was claimed by search. All three
+personal questions produced no search and no kiwix line at all.
+
+The rest of this sitting went badly. **Kiwix has zero live coverage.** SearXNG
+returns four results for everything, including two invented nonsense terms. So
+`querySearch` always claims, and Kiwix is unreachable code as deployed. The ZIM
+half of the 02-08-2026 decision is unverified. A ZIM answer cannot signal a
+silent search failure, because a ZIM answer cannot happen.
+**Ordering defects** in feeds and calendar, plus 258 step 1's utterance not
+working: **474**. And the sitting independently found stage 2 of **470**.
+
+**Tasks and calendar** (**129**, **130**, **127**, **126**, **246**): capture a
+task by voice, confirm it lands, check prioritisation ordering is not nonsense.
+**246** (mail reader) also exercises the `IngestMail` rung that moved to
+`AuthWrite` this morning.
+
+Run 02-08-2026. **129 passes.** The page and the spoken answer agree on ordering.
+The undistinguished task carries no invented reason on either surface, which is
+the thing 129 asks for. **130 fails outright** and **127 half fails**:
+**467**, **469**. **246 cannot be run**: `mavmaild` is commented out in
+`docker-compose.yml` and there is no `email` block, so nothing in steps 4-13 is
+reachable. The `IngestMail` rung does sit at `AuthWrite`
+(`internal/auth/policy.go:96`, asserted in `auth_test.go:421`), verified by
+reading only.
+
+**Routines and patterns** (**43**, **46**, **247**, **254**): these need history
+to detect against. If the database is thin after the outage, they may have
+nothing to propose, which is not a failure. Check `/routines` before
+concluding anything.
+
+Run 02-08-2026. The answer is the middle case: **the detector ran and found
+nothing.** The tick loop is live, and `detectPatterns` is called unconditionally
+at `cmd/mavend/tick.go:227`. It has run about 25 times since the restart. It
+finds nothing because the events table is empty upstream of it. Rows land there
+only from `pattern.Extract` at fact-write time, and `Extract` requires the fact
+value to match a closed 7-action lexicon. All 200 facts on `/history` are
+`page_heartbeat`, `netdata_alarm`, `quiet_hours`, `name`, `service_down` and
+`рост`. Not one lexicon hit, so no event can exist, let alone the four one pair
+needs. **46 step 5 passes**: `/routines` renders `noticed 0` with the empty state
+and the hint string.
+
+Two things block this sitting, and both are build work. The seeding recipe on
+**43** goes through `sqlite3` and cannot work. And `pattern.Detect` has no
+minimum-interval floor, so seeding by hand mints a permanent false routine
+(**468**). Do not try to seed a pattern with four fast chat turns.
+
+**Ecosystem** (**272**, **273**, **276**): nexus, hexis and praxis are wired and
+logged clean at boot.
+
+Run 02-08-2026, read-only half. All three answer `/health` 200 and `/ecosystem`
+lists 18 Hexis capabilities with correct read-only and mutating badges. **272 and
+273 are blocked on empty data**, not on code. Nexus holds no entities, Praxis
+holds no attention items, and the Calls panel has never recorded a call. See
+**472**, and read its warning first. 273's trace fix has never been validated
+here. An empty Calls panel is exactly what the old bug looked like. The page is
+`/ecosystem`, not `/siblings`.
+
+**276 ran 02-08-2026 and the suite is sound.** 17 `TestEcosystem_` cases pass
+under `-race`, not the 10 the task describes. The mutation check bites: patching
+the Nexus-error branch of `handleHexisAct` to `return ""` fails
+`TestEcosystem_MalformedNexusResponseFailsClosed` on the expected line.
+
+Steps 4 and 6 could not be checked through chat, because no utterance reaches
+Praxis (**475**). «что требует внимания» routes to `intent=query` and is answered
+by the search leg, identically whether `ecosystem-praxis-1` is up or stopped. The
+degraded string never appears because its branch is never entered. Step 5 is
+blocked the same way: `перезапусти muzick indexer` clarifies on
+`HasFn:false`, and the router had already rewritten the entity name to
+`музик индексер` (**476**).
+
+Both steps were checked on `/ecosystem` instead, which reads Praxis directly.
+With Praxis stopped the card reads `praxis — unreachable` while Nexus and Hexis
+keep rendering. On `docker start` the card returns to `nothing needs attention.`
+with no mavend restart. Independent degradation and recovery both hold.
+
+**Operations** (**249**, **250**): both ran 02-08-2026. The code is correct and
+neither lever can be pulled on this box. See **477**.
+
+**250** passes steps 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 on the deploy. The capability announces
+itself. `/models` names the model llama-server reports, not the config filename.
+Asking her to switch models does nothing. Removing `swap_models` renders `swap
+not configured`. Step 4's refusal half passes at HTTP 403, and the 403 comes from
+mavend rather than mavweb. WebAuthn is unconfigured, so the web gate fails open
+and the wire gate fails closed. Steps 5 to 8 need a passkey assertion nothing on
+this box can produce. They pass in test: 13 swap cases and 7 page cases covering
+drain, mid-swap refusal, rollback, failed rollback and the not-owned refusal.
+
+**249** passes steps 1 and 2. Step 3 stops it. `mavupdate` health-checks over
+`/run/maven/mavend.sock`, which is `srw------- 1 10001 999` inside a docker
+volume. The host owner cannot traverse `/var/lib/docker/volumes` and cannot
+connect to a socket owned by an in-container uid. `mavupdate` assumes a
+host-installed daemon and the deploy is containers. Do not sudo around this.
+
+---
+
+## Housekeeping (done 02-08-2026, and this section was mostly wrong)
+
+This section claimed eleven tasks were not verification work. **Three were not.
+The other eight are.** Every one of the eight has shipped, tested code behind it.
+The error ran one way: it wrote off work that is ready to check. Do not trust a
+"nothing is built" line in this plan without grepping for the package first.
+
+Relabelled to `Blocked:`, claim verified:
+
+- **125** zenmoney. `internal/zenmoney/` ships and is tested against a fixture.
+  `deploy/zenmoney.token` does not exist and the compose mount is commented out.
+  One token unblocks it.
+- **256** Home Assistant. `internal/smarthome/` ships, the `smarthome` block sits
+  in `deploy/mavend.json` at `enabled: false`, and 8123 and 1883 are closed.
+- **14** cold-start unlock. The seam is real at `cmd/mavend/main.go:128` and
+  `internal/webauthn/prf.go` is in place. `lockedAPI` is gone, replaced by
+  `Server.Check` in `internal/ipc/server.go`. Gated on an authenticator that
+  implements the WebAuthn PRF extension, which is hardware, not code.
+
+Left alone, because the claim here was false:
+
+- **284** simulator. `cmd/mavend/simulator_test.go`, three scenarios under
+  `cmd/mavend/testdata/scenarios/`, and a `simulate` target at `Makefile:98`.
+  **Run 02-08-2026: all three scenarios pass**, plus the determinism and
+  backwards-step guards. One defect found, see below.
+- **288** STT golden audio. Four WAVs and `golden_v1.json` are committed under
+  `cmd/mavsttd/testdata/`, the make targets exist, and `models/stt/ggml-small.bin`
+  is on the box. Session 1 lists 288 as blocked on fixtures, which is wrong.
+  **Run 02-08-2026: all four pass**, WER at or under ceiling with no drift.
+
+| fixture | transcript | WER | ceiling |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ru_reminder | `Напомни мне через час позвонить маме.` | 0.00 | 0.10 |
+| ru_fact | `А отметь, что я выпил воды.` | 0.20 | 0.25 |
+| ru_query | `Что у меня сегодня по календарю?` | 0.00 | 0.10 |
+| en_act | `Restart the web server and check the disk space.` | 0.00 | 0.10 |
+
+That also settles a session 1 worry indirectly: whisper.cpp works on Vulkan
+after the redeploy. Only the mic and the wake path remain unproven.
+
+**The simulator routes with an empty seed set.** Every `make simulate` run logs
+`loaded 0 seed examples from models/seeds`, seven times per scenario. The test
+runs from `cmd/mavend`, and the seed path is relative to the repo root. The
+scenarios still pass, which means they pass without the classifier having any
+seeds to match against. Whatever 284 is proving, it is not proving the routing
+the deploy runs. Fix the path before trusting a green simulator.
+- **257** Bluetooth. The bluez half is genuinely absent. The LAN-scan half shipped
+  (`internal/netscan/`), and steps 1-9 run today. Only step 10 is Bluetooth, so
+  relabelling the whole task would bury real pending work.
+- **251** MCP, **253** hearing, **259** crawler. All three ship
+  (`internal/mcp/`, `internal/capture/`, `internal/crawl/`) with no external gate.
+  Fully checkable. `259`'s step 1 wants no `crawl` block in `deploy/mavend.json`,
+  and there is none, so it is already set up correctly.
+- **252** vision and **255** speaker recognition. Both ship. Each is blocked only
+  on a model download: a vision gguf with mmproj, and a speaker embedding model.
+  Neither is present under `/mnt/hdd1`. Their refusal-path steps run today.
+
+So the honest split is three blocked on a credential or hardware, two blocked on
+a download, and six ready to check. That is roughly a session of real QA this
+plan had written off as backlog.
+
+**All six ran on 02-08-2026.** Every one of them is code-correct and stops at the
+deploy. The pattern repeats often enough to be the headline: the packages pass,
+and the box cannot reach them.
+
+**251, MCP.** Steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 13 pass. Package tests green under `-race`.
+Off-by-default is clean, and the SSRF refusal is exact: without `allow_private`
+the log reads `refusing to connect to a private address: 127.0.0.1` and `/tools`
+shows the server down with zero proposals. Steps 5 to 12 are blocked. `ss -lntp`
+shows the Vikunja MCP server on `127.0.0.1:9100` only, so no container reaches it
+at any address (**478**). `allow_private` does work, measured both ways.
+
+**253, hearing.** Steps 1, 2 and 17 pass. `internal/capture` covers 90.3%. Steps
+7 to 16 are blocked on something nobody can work around: no shipped client calls
+`CaptureStart`. There is no `cmd/mavheard`, no mavweb route, and `mavenclient`
+never calls it (**480**). Two of its QA steps are also stale.
+
+**257, netscan.** Steps 2, 3 and 9 pass at unit level. Step 1 fails. Steps 4 to 8
+need the block enabled. Step 10 is Bluetooth and stays skipped.
+
+**259, crawler.** Steps 1 and 15 pass. Step 2 fails. Steps 3 to 14 need a `crawl`
+block that nobody has written.
+
+Both were configured later the same day, and both work. `netscan.enabled: true`
+answers `какие устройства в сети?` with `нашла 3 устройства, из них 2 с вебом, 2 с
+ssh. список записала.` and the scan lands in the intake journal as `scan:lan`.
+`crawl.on_demand: true` answers `посмотри https://lwn.net — что там пишут?` from
+the real page. So **479** is one defect, not the routing defect it was filed as.
+An unconfigured capability declines its own turn instead of naming the gap.
+Nothing is wrong with the routing.
+
+257 step 1 and 259 step 2 fail the same way and share a task (**479**). An
+unconfigured capability does not name the gap, so the question escapes to web
+search. `какие устройства в сети?` was answered with a general article about
+network hardware. That is his LAN going to an upstream engine.
+
+**252 vision and 255 speaker.** Both confirmed blocked. The disk claim was
+re-verified rather than taken on trust: 16 text-only ggufs under `/mnt/hdd1`, no
+mmproj and no speaker embedding model. Everything not needing the model passes,
+including the two refusals that matter. `TestNewLocalRefusesNonPrivateEndpoints`
+rejects `https://api.openai.com`, and forget really deletes
+(`internal/store/memory.go:145` is a real `DELETE`, not a tombstone). Vision is
+19/19, speaker 22/22, media 16/16.
+
+**470 got worse, then closed.** Both poisoned facts showed `voided` on
+`/history` and the defect survived. Re-measured at 15:42, after four restarts:
+`почему небо синее?` still answered `какая последняя версия языка Go?` with no
+`search:` line. What came back was the question he typed, not the value the fact
+held. So the poison was a vector in the memory index, and `revert` did not
+remove it.
+
+Repaired in two parts. 470 stopped the writes: a question is never a fact, and a
+void drops the key's vectors. 493 fixed what the index holds. A fact is indexed
+as the fact and not as the utterance, and a correction drops its superseded
+vector too.
+
+A poisoned box now repairs itself on the next start. `RepairFactVectors`
+re-embeds every fact vector from the fact it names, and deletes the voided and
+superseded ones. It runs once, guarded by a marker, and logs what it did.
+
+---
+
+## Needs you specifically
+
+Not QA. These are blocked on a decision or a credential only you have.
+
+| # | what |
+|---|---|
+| 16 | Create the Kuma API key. `-kuma-key uk5_mavpoll-key` in `docker-compose.yml` is still the placeholder. |
+| 15 | Deploy `desk_active` on the desk PC. Blocks **282**. |
+| 122 | Finish the CPT run for Qwen3-1.7B. The persona fix depends on it. |
+| 355 | Deploy the Hexis auth change. Was blocked on Maven being under construction, which it no longer is. The client half is vendored and wired. |
+| 357 | Decide whether entity-existence validation is the permanent target guard or whether blessing lands in Nexus. |
+| 275 | Hexis native API and MCP parity. |
+| — | Decide on `-require-stepup`. Making it the default needs WebAuthn configured first, or it locks you out of your own admin surfaces. |
+
+317 and 354 closed on 01-08-2026. The step-up gate now covers `POST /api/chat` and
+`/routines`, and the nginx template is locked down with a `maven.<domain>` block for
+mavweb. The `-require-stepup` default is still your call.
+
+---
+
+## Not this repo
+
+Two open tasks sit on the Maven board and are not Maven work. Move them or note
+where they land, so the board stops reading as 50 things Maven owes.
+
+- **358** replace the rowid execution cursor with a real seq column. This is Hexis,
+  and it must land before any execution retention or pruning does.
+- **362** mirror the router prompt reorder into the relabelling prompt. This is the
+  training workspace, enforced by `llm/check_prompt_parity.py` there, not here.
+
+---
+
+## Suggested order
+
+1. Session 1. If the voice loop is broken, nothing else matters.
+2. The `-require-stepup` and Kuma decisions. Five minutes, and it unblocks **16**.
+3. Session 2. **Run on 02-08-2026.** The numbers came back worse for the router
+   than the docs claimed. The classifier is 68.8%, not 36.8%, and 16.6µs, not
+   31ms. The router buys about 4 points of accuracy for four orders of magnitude
+   of latency. Whether that still earns its place is now an open question.
+4. Housekeeping. Cheap, and it makes the remaining backlog honest.
+5. Session 3, split whichever way suits you. All five sittings ran on
+   02-08-2026. Read the per-sitting notes before repeating any of them.
+
+The next thing to fix is not in this plan. Four defects say the same sentence:
+a capability is built and no utterance reaches it. **466** (a clarify is global),
+**467** (capture is act-routed), **475** (attention is act-routed), **476** (the
+router rewrites entity names). Routing is where the work is.

+// that URL because telegram accepts it nowhere else. On 2026-08-01 homesrv
+// could not reach api.telegram.org, so the retry wrote the whole bot token
+// into the daemon log once a minute for as long as the network stayed down.
+// The token lives in deploy/telegram.env specifically to stay out of the repo;
+// putting it in `docker compose logs` undoes that.
+//
+// The structural case rewrites url.Error.URL and keeps the error's type, so
+// callers matching on *url.Error still work. Anything else falls back to
+// scrubbing the rendered message, which loses the type but cannot leak.
+//
+// There is deliberately no minimum-length guard. A one-character token would
+// make this replace every occurrence of that character in the message, which
+// is ugly; leaking a short token is worse. New already refuses an empty one.
