mavend: group the recall fields into one wiring struct (V-433)

The review comment asked for basic DI. The answer is the idiom voice.go
already had for capabilities — a cohesive *Wiring struct — applied to a
group that is not a capability toggle, plus the decision written down so
it is a rule and not a habit.

recallWiring holds the embedder, the vector store, the personal boundary
and the two numbers that gate an answer. They sat in three places on
reactiveHandler, with the gate numbers a hundred lines from the store
they gate. Its zero value means no recall, so it is a value, not a
pointer like the optional-capability groups.

dataStore stays out of it. patterns.go, ecosystem_acts.go and confirm.go
use it, so it is not part of this cluster.

docs/handler-wiring.md records the choice, rejects a container or a
wire-style generator outright, defers narrow per-handler interfaces to
the package split that would justify them, and states the constraint the
task named: a wiring change does not ride a feature PR.

+// The first fix was one more marker class, `я говорил|сказал|писал|…`, plus a
+// carve-out so "как я говорил, почему небо синее" stayed a world question. Both
+// halves are a lexicon, and a lexicon is the wrong instrument here: Russian

+// every utterance the list misses is one that reaches the world. It also drifts
+// silently — a missing verb looks exactly like no bug.

+// So the boundary asks the embedder instead. Two frozen seed sets — questions
+// about him, questions about the world — are embedded once, and the turn's own

+Decided 2026-08-04 (Vikunja #385). The follow-up dialogue session survives a
+restart; the clarify question parked behind it does not, and neither do the
+three yes/no confirms in `voice.go`. `ClarifyStore` stays in memory.
+
+Three reasons, in the order they settle it:
+
+- The clock stops meaning anything. A parked question carries a 90s TTL and an
+  attempt count. A restart is a gap of unknown length, so a restored question is
+  either already dead or pretending to be young.
+- Restoring the question restores the request behind it. He asked for something,
+  she asked back, and then the daemon went away. Acting on that minutes later,
+  against words he has probably given up on, is the misroute the stage 3 gate
+  exists to avoid.
+- She does not announce it either. The expiry notice needs to know a question
+  was parked, and knowing that across a restart means storing it. One sentence,
+  in the rare window where he speaks within 90s of a restart, does not pay for a
+  marker that outlives the thing it describes. His next words route fresh, which
+  is the correct answer with or without the notice.
+
+So the notice stays what it is: the in-process TTL case, where she really did

+#### A fact per monitor, not an aggregate

+mavpoll writes one fact per kuma monitor, keyed `service_down:<monitor name>`.
+It used to fold the whole gauge into a single boolean, and the nudge could then

+
+Three things follow from the split:

+- The key set is no longer known at wiring time. A rule declares

+  only prefix read in the loop.
+- Pausing a monitor in kuma silences that monitor. Under the aggregate it
+  silenced nothing, because some other monitor kept the boolean at "down".
+- A monitor deleted in kuma would keep its last fact reading "down" forever, so
+  mavpoll marks a vanished monitor "unknown". No rule fires on "unknown".
+
+The rule is also edge-triggered: it fires on a transition it has not already
+nudged about (`State.NudgedSince`). A polled fact is written only when the

+# 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

+# 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
+`TestONNXRecall`.
+
+    19/19 held-out utterances correct   (TestONNXPersonalBoundary)
+
+    true positive margins   +0.014 to +0.089
+    nearest true negative   -0.005  ("кто такой гагарин")
+
+One case missed during the first pass and is not held out any more: `as i said,
+what is the population of india`, +0.008 to the personal side. It is a world seed
+now.
+
+The gate is the sign of the difference and nothing tighter. The margins are too
+thin for a threshold. The asymmetry favours claiming: a false claim costs one
+honest "не знаю", a false pass sends his life to an upstream engine.
+
+`make eval-recall` unchanged, 18/27 answered at gate 0.55. Recall does not touch
+this path.
+
+## Not verified
+
+The live probe on the deployed box. The daemon was not rebuilt in this session.
+The reply to `что я говорил про бэкапы?` with no matching note is still untested
+against a real SearXNG.

+# 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.

+|---|---|---|
+| **recall@1** | 60.0% (15/25) | **70.4% (19/27)** |

+| ranked first, then silenced by the gate | 3 | 2 |
+| `hard` cases passed | 2/11 | 5/12 |

+| latency p50 / p95 / max | 59ms / 148ms / 194ms | **23ms / 41ms / 62ms** |
+
+The hash ratchet CI runs is unchanged in kind and still answers nothing after the gate: recall@1
+37.0%, recall@3 74.1%, 0/27 answered, 0/5 false. It is lexical and exists so CI has a deterministic
+floor. Never compare a hash number to an ONNX one.
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. The swap paid on every axis at once, including latency
+
+Ten points of recall@1, fifteen points of *answered*, the one false recall gone, and it is 2.5×
+faster because the quantized e5-small is 118MB against the 470MB fp32 file the old config loaded.
+Finding 3 of the 31-07 eval predicted the recall half and said nothing about speed; the speed came
+from fixing the second half of that finding, which was that the deployed path loaded a different
+file than the download target.
+
+The concrete case that eval named is fixed. "из-за чего кончилось место" no longer returns the
+guitar-chords filler note. It now returns a homelab note, `n2` at 0.884, and the wanted note is
+still not in the top 3 — so the query moved from absurd to merely wrong. That is the shape of what
+is left.
+
+### 2. The score distributions still overlap. The margin is what separates them
+
+This is the part of #371's premise that did not come true. Right-note-first top-1 scores run
+0.791 / 0.857 / 0.890 (min / median / max). Must-stay-silent top-1 scores run 0.795 / 0.815 /
+0.835. The silent cases sit *inside* the answering range, so no value of `query_min_score` keeps
+every real recall and rejects every false one — the same verdict as 31-07, at a higher and tighter
+band of scores.
+
+What separates them is the second-place gap. Margin top1-top2 for a right first hit: median 0.024.
+For a must-be-silent case: median 0.002, max 0.019. A false recall is a note that beats its
+neighbours by nothing, because nothing in the store is about the question. The sweep:
+
+| margin | answered | false recall |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0.000 | 18/27 (67%) | 3/5 |
+| 0.005 | 17/27 (63%) | 1/5 |
+| **0.008 (deployed)** | **17/27 (63%)** | **0/5** |
+| 0.010 | 15/27 (56%) | 0/5 |
+| 0.015 | 12/27 (44%) | 0/5 |
+
+0.008 is the knee: it is the smallest margin that silences all five, and the next step up costs two
+real answers for nothing. The score gate contributes almost nothing on its own — every value from
+0.00 to 0.70 answers the same 18 and admits the same 3 — so `query_min_score` is now close to inert
+and the margin is the live dial. Leave both where they are; #412 is where a further sweep belongs.
+
+### 3. What is left is a retrieval problem, not a gate problem
+
+Eight cases put the wrong note on top, and the failures cluster: `hard` 5/12, `preference` 5/9,
+`homelab` 8/13. Four of the eight have the right note in the top 3, so a reranker would collect
+them; the other four do not, so nothing downstream can. Two more rank first and are silenced by the
+margin — `en-hard-024` at 0.826 with margin 0.023, and `ru-home-026` at 0.846 with margin 0.001,
+which is a genuine near-tie against a second note that is also plausible.
+
+Preference queries are the weakest class in a way that is not about the model. "когда запускать
+резервное копирование" and "как мне присылать оповещения" both return a fact, not the note that
+states the preference. Facts and notes are searched in one pass since #373, so a confidently-scored
+fact wins a question that a note answers better. That is a ranking policy question and it belongs
+in its own task, not in a threshold.

+# How reactiveHandler is wired
+
+*Last verified: 2026-08-04 @ b6abb19. Living doc: correct it in place, do not append.*
+
+The decision Vikunja #433 asked for, and the rule that follows from it.
+
+## The decision
+
+**Group the fields into cohesive wiring structs. No container, no generator, no
+framework.** `reactiveHandler` (`cmd/mavend/voice.go`) stays the one type the voice
+server talks to. What changes is that a capability arrives as one named group, not as
+four more loose fields on a struct that already had thirty.
+
+The pattern was already in the file before this was written down: `searchWiring`,
+`kiwixWiring`, `homeWiring`, `netWiring` and `ecosystemWiring` are all this shape, each
+`nil` when the capability is off. #433 makes it the rule rather than a habit, and adds
+the case the habit had missed — a group that is not a capability toggle.
+
+## The worked example
+
+`recallWiring` (`cmd/mavend/recall.go`) holds the five things the recall path needs:
+the embedder, the vector store, the personal boundary, and the score and margin that
+gate an answer. They used to sit in three separate places on the handler with the two
+gate numbers a hundred lines away from the store they gate.
+
+Its zero value means "no recall", which is why it is a value and not a pointer. The
+`*Wiring` types that model an optional capability stay pointers, because `nil` is how
+"not configured" is spelled and a zero-valued search client would be a client pointed at
+nothing.
+
+## Why not the alternatives
+
+**Narrow consumer-side interfaces at each handler** is the more idiomatic Go answer and
+it is not rejected, only deferred. It is the right move at the point a handler is pulled
+into its own package, because that is when the import direction starts to matter. Doing
+it first would mean writing an interface per handler against a struct nobody can pass
+anywhere, which is churn bought against a package split that has not happened.
+
+**A container or a wire-style generator** is rejected outright. This is one binary with
+one composition root (`wireVoice` in `cmd/mavend/voicewire.go`). Generated wiring would
+add a build step and a layer of indirection to solve a problem that is currently one
+composite literal long, and it would make the "is this capability configured" question
+harder to answer by reading, which is the question this file is mostly about.
+
+## What this unlocks
+
+The reason `cmd/mavend/` cannot split into `mavend/actions/` today is that every action
+handler is a method on a struct with thirty unexported fields: moving handlers to a
+subdirectory means exporting all of them or inventing an interface to pass through. That
+was the answer given on the tick.go and voice.go splits, and it is still true. Grouping
+is the step that makes it false later — a handler that takes `recallWiring` and nothing
+else can move without the other twenty-five fields following it.
+
+## The rule
+
+**A wiring change does not ride a feature PR.** The voice.go and tick.go splits were
+safe to merge because the moved code diffed identical, line for line. A regrouping that
+touches the confirm gate or the act allowlist is its own change, reviewed on its own, or
+it is not reviewable at all.
+
+New capability, new group. A capability that adds four fields to `reactiveHandler`
+instead of one struct is the thing this decision exists to stop.
