Swap the resident model without restarting mavend (#250)

Loading a different gguf was a one-line edit to phraser.model_path plus a
restart. It is now an owner-triggered IPC call, off unless configured.

internal/phraser/swap.go holds the safety properties as code:

  - Never two models resident. The old llama-server is killed and reaped
    before the new one is launched. One 1.7B fits the Vega iGPU; a
    blue/green overlap would OOM the box, so it is not offered.
  - Atomic from a turn's point of view. Swap drains the in-flight turns
    (they finish on the old model), then refuses arrivals with ErrSwapping
    until the new server has answered /v1/models. No turn ever sees half a
    swap; refused turns fall back to the classifier cascade.
  - A failed load rolls back. If the new model does not start or does not
    probe, the previous one is reloaded and the call returns RolledBack
    with the error. If the rollback also fails the daemon says so and
    degrades to the classifier rather than pretending to serve.

Holders of the completion client are re-pointed, not rebuilt: llm.Client
guards its base URL and LLMPhraser.OnSwap re-points it, so the router, the
replier, the mail extractor and the memory evaluator follow the new port
without knowing a swap happened.

Reach is deliberately narrow. phraser.swap_models is an exact-match
allowlist of absolute paths a human wrote, rejected at startup otherwise,
so "swap the model" can never mean "load any file on my disk"; the running
model is always swappable back to. MethodSwapModel is AuthStepUp, the same
rung as mutating the tool allowlist, and /models gates POST through the
same stepUpOK the tools page uses. Nothing calls Swap on a timer and no
act, intent or utterance reaches it.

+//     a URL in someone's log, so it goes last.
+//   - SCHEDULED — a watched page is re-read on its interval, and a page whose
+//     text changed is written as a note. It does NOT announce itself. Same rule
+//     as the feed poller: notes, never nudges.

+// internal/rss; this is the impure half: a ticker, the guarded fetcher, and the
+// two adapters that let a pure package talk to the store.
+//
+// Why in-core rather than its own daemon like mavmaild and mavpoll: those two
+// hold a CREDENTIAL (an IMAP password, a zenmoney token), and the reason they
+// are separate processes is that core must never see it. A feed URL is public,
+// there is no secret to isolate, and a whole extra binary and compose service
+// would buy nothing. The other half of the mavpoll precedent — off unless
+// configured — is kept: no `feeds` block, no poller, no outbound request.
+//
+// It is its own goroutine, not a step on the tick: the tick has a delivery
+// deadline behind it, and a feed read is a network round-trip that nobody is
+// waiting on.
+//
+// Nothing here dispatches. A feed that announced itself would be a nag, so the
+// only output is notes with source "rss:<feed>", which the answer path reads

+// to happen in mavend anyway: the credential. mavpoll set the precedent with the
+// zenmoney token (#125) — the module that talks to a third party holds the
+// secret, reads it from a FILE so it never appears in `ps`, in
+// docker-compose.yml or in shell history, and core never sees it. Core learns
+// that mail exists only as message text on one IPC method; it cannot connect to
+// the mailbox even if it wanted to, and a compromised core yields no mail
+// password.
+//
+// Off unless configured: without -password-file there is nothing to run, and
+// the daemon says so and exits. If core has no `email` block the very first
+// ingest comes back ErrUnknownMethod and this daemon stops polling instead of
+// hammering a socket that will keep refusing.

+// Mail is personal, so the log is counts and UIDs: how many messages were

+## Reading the outside world (off by default)
+
+`mavend.json` ships without a `feeds` block, which means no RSS/Atom feed is
+fetched and no outbound request is made. Switching it on is adding the block:
+
+```json
+"feeds": {
+  "poll_interval": "30m",
+  "max_items": 5,
+  "max_age": "24h",
+  "sources": [
+    { "name": "habr", "url": "https://habr.com/ru/rss/best/daily/",
+      "category": "технологии", "exclude": ["реклама"] }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+What it does and does not do:
+
+- items are written as notes with source `rss:<name>`, visible on `/dash`;
+- **nothing is announced.** She reads them back when asked — "что нового в
+  лентах?", "что нового по технологиям?" — and never on arrival. There is no
+  severity or channel knob here on purpose;
+- the fetcher is allowlisted to the hosts of the configured feeds, plus any
+  `allow_hosts`. It refuses non-http(s) schemes and every private address
+  (loopback, the LAN, the `10.42.0.0/24` wg range, cloud metadata). It caps the
+  response at 2 MiB and redirects at 3, and makes at most one request per host
+  per second. See `internal/webfetch`;
+- how far each feed was read is stored as a config fact `rss:latest:<name>`, so
+  a restart does not re-note yesterday's headlines.
+
+### Reading a page (`crawl`, also off by default)
+
+There is no `crawl` block either, so no page is fetched. Two halves, separately
+switched:
+
+```json
+"crawl": {
+  "on_demand": true,
+  "interval": "6h",
+  "max_runes": 4000,
+  "watches": [
+    { "name": "changelog", "url": "https://example.org/changelog", "interval": "12h" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `on_demand` lets her read a page he names in the utterance: "посмотри
+  https://example.org/x — что там?". The page becomes context for his question,
+  and only the URL leaves the box. Without a URL nothing is fetched, so this is
+  a fallback and not a habit;
+- `watches` re-reads a fixed list on its interval and writes a note when the
+  text changed. Like the feeds, it announces nothing;
+- the answer path sits **last** in the query chain, behind his memory, his notes
+  and (once wired) the local Kiwix ZIMs. A local read costs nothing;
+- `robots.txt` is fetched first and obeyed with no override; a `Disallow` is a
+  refusal she says out loud. `Crawl-delay` is honoured;
+- same guarded fetcher as the feeds: allowlist/denylist, no private addresses,
+  size cap, redirect cap, timeout, one request per host per second;
+- dedup state is the config fact `crawl:hash:<name>`.
+

 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.

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

+Deviations from the plan above, both deliberate:

+- **Step 5 (breaking-news nudges) was not built.** A feed that dispatches is a nag,

+  If breaking news is ever wanted, it belongs behind the existing delivery policy

+- **Step 3 (embedder relevance) is a seam, not an implementation.** `rss.Ranker`

+  profile, and there is none yet; a threshold with nothing to compare against is a
+  random filter with a confident name. The filter that runs is the per-feed
+  include/exclude keyword list, which he can read and predict.
+
+No new dependency: stdlib `encoding/xml`, no gofeed. Stock deploy config has no

+- **No CSS selectors and no LLM structured extraction** (steps 2). The output is

+- **No `crawl` act verb and no new IPC methods** (steps 5, 7). Reading a page is
+  a query source (`queryWeb` in `actions_query.go`, last in the chain, behind
+  Kiwix once that is wired), not an action he commands. Nothing needs a new wire
+  method to work.
+- **Notes, not facts.** A page's text is not a fact about him. Only the dedup
+  hash is a fact (`crawl:hash:<name>`, kind `config`, source `poll:crawl`).
+- **Nothing is dispatched.** A changed page writes a note; it does not nudge.
+  Not a nag.
+- **No `/tools` crawl history page.** The notes and the hash facts are already
+  visible on `/dash`.
+
+**No new dependency.** The vendored tree has no `x/net/html`, no `goquery` and
+no `temoto/robotstxt`, so robots parsing and HTML-to-text are stdlib
+(`regexp`, `html`) — RE2 has no backreferences, hence the `pairsRE` builder in

+//     misreads "встреча была в четверг" as a future appointment would then wake
+//     him up about it. A candidate that is wrong is a line on a review page he
+//     dismisses in one click, which is the correct cost of a model being wrong
+//     about someone's mail.
+//   - No fact. A fact is a claim Maven will later recite as true. Nothing read
+//     out of a marketing mail deserves that standing.
+//   - No calendar event, no note, no action. Extraction writes candidates or
+//     writes nothing.
+//
+// The due date the model may return is stored on the candidate (tasks.due_ts),
+// which no scheduler reads — it is there so the review page can sort by it.

+// Privacy: the mail text goes to the resident model on this box and nowhere
+// else. It is never search input (CLAUDE.md: "his notes and facts are never
+// search input" — mail is the same class), and Evidence keeps only the subject
+// line, so the review page shows him where a candidate came from without the
+// store growing a copy of his mailbox.

+//     — no function here reaches the network except the IMAP connection itself.
+//   - Off unless configured. There is no default host, no default account, and
+//     no fallback that would make a mailbox get read because a field was empty.
+//
+// The IMAP subset is deliberately tiny (LOGIN, SELECT, UID SEARCH, UID FETCH
+// with BODY.PEEK, LOGOUT). No IDLE: a poll every few minutes is what a task
+// candidate needs, and IDLE would mean holding a connection and a credential

+// evaluator has to read store.Fact / store.Note / store.Nudge — putting it in
+// internal/memory would close that import cycle.
+//
+// Every so often Maven reads back her own recent memory — facts, notes, the

+// stopped, a gap, something worth saying later. What comes back is written as
+// notes with source EvalNoteSource and nothing else happens. That restraint is
+// the design, not an unfinished edge:
+//
+//   - She does not speak here. There is no dispatcher, no channel, no nudge.
+//     An observation is a thought she wrote down; he reads it on /dash when he
+//     wants to. "Not a nag, not autonomous" (CLAUDE.md) is easy to violate with
+//     exactly this feature — an hourly loop with an LLM in it and permission to
+//     talk is a machine for generating interruptions — so the loop has no way
+//     to reach him at all. Turning observations into nudges is a separate
+//     decision with a separate opt-in, and it is deliberately NOT in this file.
+//   - She does not act. No reminder is created, no routine proposed, no fact
+//     written. The model's suggested_action is recorded as text inside the note
+//     and interpreted by nobody.
+//   - She says nothing about an empty store. No memory ⇒ no LLM call ⇒ no
+//     "observations" invented out of two facts. A 1.7B asked to find a pattern
+//     will always find one; the defence is not asking.

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

+// Swapping the resident model without restarting the daemon (Vikunja #250).
+//
+// Three properties this file exists to hold, in order of importance:
+//
+//  1. NEVER two models resident at once. The deploy target is a laptop iGPU
+//     with the whole 1.7B offloaded to it (`n_gpu_layers: 99`); loading a second
+//     model beside the first is how you OOM the box, and a blue/green swap that
+//     "keeps the old one warm until the new one answers" does exactly that. So
+//     the old server is killed FIRST and the new one loaded after. The cost of
+//     that ordering is a window with no model at all, which is why:
+//
+//  2. A swap is atomic from a turn's point of view. An in-flight turn finishes
+//     on the old model — Swap waits for the last one to return before killing
+//     anything. A turn that arrives during the swap is REFUSED immediately with
+//     ErrSwapping rather than blocked: every phrasing path already has a
+//     fallback (templates, "вот что я нашла", the classifier for routing), so a
+//     fast refusal degrades one turn instead of hanging it for the length of a
+//     model load. No turn ever gets half of one model and half of another.
+//
+//  3. A failed load rolls back to the model that was working. The new server is
+//     probed (it must say which model it loaded) before it is published; if the
+//     launch or the probe fails, the previous config is relaunched and the
+//     phraser goes back to serving. Only if the rollback ALSO fails is the
+//     phraser left without a backend, and then it says so loudly and every turn
+//     degrades rather than breaks.

+// reach it. It is an IPC method behind the step-up gate, i.e. owner-triggered.
