Add the day plan she can recite when asked (#128)

The plan answers "какие планы на сегодня?" by putting one day in order:
calendar events (with #126's ambient provenance carried through and hedged),
pending reminders, and one line per morning routine that still has items
outstanding. "что дальше?" trims what has already passed.

It lives in internal/morning, not in a parallel system, because it is the same
question the checklist asks at a different scale — the routine knows what is
missing from a window, the plan knows what the whole day holds, and both read
the same facts and the same idea of "today". BuildPlan is pure; tickLoop.dayPlan
is the impure half that reads the store.

It is not a nag. Nothing here fires, schedules or announces: the plan is built
only when asked, over IPC (day_plan) or on the existing /morning page.
Unprompted delivery stays with the morning nudge and the dispatcher's policy.

The query source sits before "calendar" in querySources because both match
"…на сегодня" and the plan's matcher is the more specific one; IsDayPlanQuery
matches whole words so "планёрка" (a meeting) is not read as a request for the
plan, and refuses any utterance naming another day, since the plan is built for
the clock's own day only.

Verified: make build and make test both exit 0; new tests cover plan ordering,
the checklist-only-what-is-left rule, other-day rejection, the RU rendering
against the persona checks, rest-of-day trimming, the source ordering, and the
matcher's refusals.

+
+`address` is the headline. It sat at 18-22 of 27 on the 0.8B no matter how the prompt
+was worded — the prompt explicitly forbids "вы" and the model writes `вашей`,
+`подождите`, `делаете` anyway. That was read as "prompting is out of levers", and it
+was really "0.8B is out of capacity". The 1.7B mostly holds the constraint.
+
+The fallback column matters too: 5-8 of 27 turns on the 0.8B end in a hardcoded
+`"не знаю."`, meaning it failed to emit parseable JSON about a quarter of the time.
+The 1.7B does that 0-2 times.
+
+## Latency — the long tail is not the Thinking block
+
+| | p50 | p95 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Qwen3.5-0.8B | 2.4s, 2.9s, 2.0s | 17.4s, 17.6s, 17.4s |

+
+p50 is flat across a 2× size difference. The first instinct on seeing the 1.7B's
+16s p95 was "that is the reasoning trace, cap it" — wrong. The 0.8B's p95 is a
+consistent 17s and the 1.7B beat it in two of three runs. The tail is shared and
+lives somewhere else. Do not spend time on `/no_think` on this evidence.
+
+## Sub-500M: not close, and the benchmarks say otherwise for a reason
+
+LFM2.5-350M publishes IFEval 76.96 against Qwen3.5-0.8B's 59.94, and BFCLv3 44.11
+against 35.08 — better at instruction-following and structured output, at 2/3 the
+size. Those numbers are real and they are **English**. Every benchmark in that
+table except Multi-IF is English-only.
+
+In Russian, with a 300-token budget and temperature 0:
+
+- **350M**, «Столица Франции? Ответь кратко.» → *«Сторзит в Париже.»* — `Сторзит` is
+  not a word; it is invented morphology.
+- **350M**, asked to read back a reminder → a fortune cookie about being attentive
+  and confident. No reminder in it.
+- **230M**, «Привет, как дела?» → answered **in Spanish**.
+
+The 230M beating the 350M six-fold on routing (33.8% vs 5.2%) is the other tell:
+when the larger sibling collapses like that it is format compliance failing, not
+reasoning.
+
+This is a pretraining gap, not a fine-tuning gap. Teaching Russian to a 350M from
+near-zero is not an afternoon on a Colab, which was the premise worth checking.
+
+## Why this vindicates the 1.7B CPT
+
+Stock Qwen3-1.7B, untrained and unprompted, answers all three probes in fluent
+correct Russian. What it gets wrong is the persona: *«Привет! Я рад, что ты здесь»*
+— `рад` is masculine and Maven needs `рада`. That is the right kind of remaining
+problem, and it is exactly what the CPT (Vikunja #122) is for.
+
+The 1.7B was the correct model choice. What was wrong was treating it as a
+**blocker**: stock already beats what was deployed, so it ships now and gets
+swapped again when the CPT lands.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- Routing is one run per model, not three. The gaps between families are far larger
+  than the run-to-run spread seen on the talk fixture, but the 2B-vs-1.7B gap (62.3
+  vs 67.5) is not safe to call on one run.
+- ~~The routing numbers only reach production once the LLM router is wired on. It is
+  still `nil`.~~ **Resolved the same evening:** the LLM router is wired at `voice.go:214`
+  behind `voice.llm_router`, the default is on, and `deploy/mavend.json` sets it `true`.
+  These numbers are the production path now, so the p50 ≈2.7s is a real per-turn cost and
+  not a bench artifact.
+- ~~`/mnt/hdd1/llms/LFM2.5/Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf` is a 293 MB truncated download
+  in the wrong directory.~~ **Deleted 2026-07-31.** The good 1.13 GB copy in `qwen3/` is
+  what `deploy/mavend.json` loads.

+# Conversational phrasing eval — 31-07-2026
+
+Every score measured tonight, on the three paths the nudge eval never touched:
+chat, query-with-notes, and general knowledge.
+
+**Short version: the plumbing got fixed and the score barely moved.** Grammar and
+Russian prompts together took the composite from ~9 to ~14 of 27. Everything
+still failing is the model not knowing things or not holding a constraint, and
+prompting is out of levers. Settles the measurement half of Vikunja #395 / #398 /

+```
+
+Three runs per configuration, always. The fixture is 27 cases, so one reply
+changing moves the composite by 3.7 points — a single run cannot tell a real
+change from sampling noise. This was learned the expensive way: an earlier claim
+that "one nudge case fails every run" turned out to be three different cases
+across three runs.

+
+## What each change actually bought
+
+**GBNF grammar (#398) — the biggest single win.** Qwen3.5-0.8B writes
+`Thinking Process:` as plain text with no tags, `stripThink` only handles
+`</think>`, so the JSON never closed and the plain-text fallback shipped the
+literal reasoning. `ellipsis` went 20→27 and `lang` 13→26. The router had been
+using a grammar for ages; the phraser asking nicely in the prompt was the
+oversight.
+
+**Russian prompts (#400) — modest, plus a large latency win.** Chat 1.3→3.0
+average, query 4.7→6.3, knowledge 6.3→5.0. All inside the run-to-run spread, so
+"probably better on the paths it targeted, not provable in three runs". p50
+latency dropped from ~11.5s to ~2.3s and that part is consistent across all
+three runs — shorter prompts, and she stopped emitting English reasoning first.
+
+**Truncation fix — necessary, and did not help the score.** Two real bugs
+(replies of `{`, and a `nonempty` check that passed them), both fixed, and the
+composite went nowhere. A complete rambling wrong answer fails the same checks a
+truncated one did. Worth doing anyway: the daemon was shipping `{` to a
+text-to-speech voice.
+
+## The truncation bug, since the cause was counter-intuitive
+
+The grammar's `string ::= ... {0,400}` rule was the cause, not the token cap.
+Measured against Qwen3.5-0.8B at three caps — 256, 768 and 2048 — the reply came
+back **exactly 400 characters every time, cut mid-word** (`"Нужно записать и,"`).
+
+Then I raised the bound to 1000 while the cap was 768 tokens and made it worse:
+Russian runs ~1.5 characters per token here, so generation died on the *token*
+cap instead, mid-object, and the new guard correctly refused it and shipped
+`"не знаю."` — 3, 3 and 6 fallbacks per run, from zero. **The two limits have to
+agree.** 600 characters needs ~400 tokens; the cap is 1024.
+
+## Where the remaining failures live
+
+`address` is stuck at 21-22 of 27 and `ontopic` at 14-19. Both resist prompting.
+
+**The prompt now explicitly forbids exactly what she does.** It says never "вы",
+use the singular — and she writes `вашей`, `подождите`, `делаете`, `хотите`,
+`напишите`. Telling a 0.8B "never do X" does not work. Same for
+`feminine`: `я готов`, `я понял`, `я нашел`, `я заметил`, `я сказал`.
+
+**Some of `ontopic` is the fixture, not the model.** `chat-how-are-you` got
+`"Привет! Я здесь, чтобы поговорить. Как дела сегодня?"` — a fine reply that
+fails because `want_any` is `[норм, хорош, порядк, тут, работ]`. It fails in
+every run, so it inflates the count. The `ontopic` column currently measures the
+fixture as much as the model. Not fixed yet, deliberately: changing it would
+break comparability with the runs above.
+
+**Two replies worth reading, because they are not fixable by prompting:**
+
+- Thunder and lightning: *"Скорость молнии — 8-10 тысяч километров в секунду, но
+  звук — 300 метров в секунду, что делает молнию громче."* Confidently wrong,
+  and it concludes lightning is *louder* rather than sound being *slower*.
+- "расскажи обо мне": *"Ты — прекрасное существо, с душой и вниманием… Спасибо за
+  твою улыбку… О тебе — заповедь любви."* Sycophantic filler, zero information,
+  and precisely the "not a relationship" non-goal.
+- Boiling an egg: `"15-16"` one run, `"1"` another. No unit, wrong number.
+
+The first argues for reading instead of recalling (#403 — Kiwix retrieval scores
+8/8 on the same questions given English keywords). The second and third argue
+for templates on the paths where correctness matters (#392).
+
+## Contamination note — how the last row got voided
+
+I started the query-rewrite agent against the same llama-server the sweep was
+using, and assumed contention would only affect latency. It did not. The
+knowledge path collapsed to 0 of 9 with eight canned `"не знаю."` replies, p95
+tripled to 23.7s, and **the report still said "0 errors"**.
+
+That is Vikunja #397, and it is worse than filed: a merely *busy* server
+produces a clean-looking report with a third of the fixture silently answering
+`"не знаю."`. `PhraseChat` and `PhraseQuery` swallow every failure and return a
+hardcoded string, so infrastructure trouble is indistinguishable from bad
+phrasing in the score. The talk test guards the *start* and *end* of a run with
+a model check, which catches a dead server but not a loaded one.
+
+**Until #397 is fixed, treat any run made on a busy box as void.**
+
+## Next
+
+- Re-run 600ch/1024tok clean, to fill the void row.
+- Score `Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q4_K_XL` (already at `/mnt/hdd1/llms/qwen3.5/`, never
+  measured) on this fixture and the router fixture. Not the 4B — too big for
+  this box, owner's call.
+- Newer sub-500M candidates (LFM2.5 200M/300M) are worth a run for routing.
+  Note `MODEL-BAKEOFF-31-07-2026.md` found LFM2.5-**1.2B** worse than
+  Qwen3.5-0.8B at Russian routing and 2.4× slower — but those are a different,
+  older generation, so that result does not predict the small ones.
+- Fix `chat-how-are-you`'s `want_any`, and re-baseline once, so `ontopic`
+  measures the model.
+- #397 first if anything, since it decides whether any of the above is
+  trustworthy.

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

+//
+//   - She does not speak here. There is no dispatcher, no channel, no nudge.
