Merge V-555: the self prompt asks for the present tense (#202)

Measured on the box: "глаголы в прошедшем времени с окончанием -ла",
copied from the query prompt where it fixes her gender, was read by the
resident model as an instruction to use the past tense throughout. She
answered "я вела заметки" and "если ты разрешил, я управляла домом",
which makes a live capability sound finished.

The gender rule stays, without the example.

He names a monitor, then asks four questions that all say \"он\" and never name it again.\n\nThis scenario exists because the shape had nowhere to fail. The routing fixture scores one utterance at a time, so a conversation that breaks on its second turn cannot lose a point there, and V-44 step 2 could only be verified by hand. That is item 3 of V-542.\n\nFour of the five replies below are WRONG, and the assertions pin them anyway. Read them as the recorded defect rather than the contract: she has the last four turns in front of her and never once names the thing he is asking about. Every wrong assertion is marked in its step note with what it must become. When V-542 lands, those flip and the ones marked correct do not move.\n\nWhat the four assert is that the reply LACKS \"монитор\". Absence is the defect itself: she is answering a question about a thing she wrote down two minutes ago and cannot name it. It also survives the fallback picker, which matters on the three query turns — they refuse from internal/phraser/fallbacks_ru_v1.json, four variants deep, and the same scenario returned \"тут я пас.\" one run and \"не знаю, честно.\" the next, so a string assertion there would pin the picker rather than the daemon.\n\nTurn 4 asserts its text as well, because that turn goes through the chat path and the chat path is now scriptable. scriptedPhraser in simulator_test.go answers PhraseChat from the same script entries the router reads (V-542 item 4); before it, the simulator wired phraser.NewStub() and no scenario could say what she SAYS on a chat turn at all.\n\nThe routes are scripted exactly as the box produced them, because the failure is not the model's. Turn 1 went to fact despite \"давай поболтаем\", every question after it went to query, and turn 4 went to chat.

+#### 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
+only say that something on homesrv was down. That is not something he can act
+on, so the rule shipped disabled.
+
+Three things follow from the split:
+
+- The key set is no longer known at wiring time. A rule declares
+  `WantPrefixes` and the gatherer resolves the family per tick, which is the
+  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
+value changes, but the predicate reads the current value, so without the edge
+check a service that stays down qualifies on every tick and cooldown is the

+# Ecosystem reach, measured — 2026-08-04
+
+Vikunja #405. Measured at `86dcd99` on the 30-case held-out fixture
+`internal/router/eval/ru_ecosystem_v1.json`, scored by `make eval-reach`.
+
+**Praxis reach is zero. Not low — zero, on all twelve cases, under both embedders.**
+
+## What was measured
+
+Reach is where an utterance *arrives*, not what it achieves. The derivation is in
+`internal/router/eval/reach.go` and mirrors `actionAct` in `cmd/mavend/actions_act.go`:
+
+- **Praxis** needs `IntentAct` and a fn slot whose value is one of the aliases in
+  `praxisCapabilities`.
+- **Hexis** needs `IntentAct` and non-empty `Slots.Text`. It also fires from
+  `hexisBeforeClarify`, so a clarified act with text reaches Hexis before the clarify
+  question is ever asked.
+- Everything else stays inside Maven.
+
+The fixture holds 10 Hexis cases, 12 Praxis cases and 8 negatives. The negatives carry
+the expensive direction: an utterance that reaches a mutating path it had no business
+reaching is worse than one that never arrives, because he never gets asked about it.
+
+## The numbers
+
+| Path | Reached the right place | Missed | Overreach | Wrong service | p50 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| classifier + hash embedder | 7/30 (23.3%) | 22 | 1 | 0 | 14.8µs |
+| classifier + e5-small (deployed) | 16/30 (53.3%) | 11 | 1 | 2 | 23.8ms |
+
+Split by target, on the deployed embedder:
+
+| Want | Passed |
+|---|---|
+| hexis | 9/10 |
+| none | 7/8 |
+| **praxis** | **0/12** |
+
+## The finding
+
+Hexis reach is fine. Nine of ten act-shaped home and homelab utterances land on the
+entity resolver, which is what the gate was built to do: it only needs the intent and
+some text, and both the act grammar and the embedder produce those.
+
+Praxis reach is structurally impossible from free Russian, and the fixture makes that
+visible for the first time. `handlePraxisAct` dispatches on exact equality between
+`Slots.Fn` and a capability alias. The fn slot is filled by `DefaultActMatcher`, whose
+allowlist is the deployment's enabled tool names — `перезапусти`, `выключи`, and so on.
+No Praxis alias is in that list, so no utterance can ever put one in the slot. The
+Russian aliases in `praxisCapabilities` (`готово`, `принято`, `игнорировать`) read as if
+they match speech and they do not: they are compared against a fn slot, never against
+the utterance.
+
+That means the whole lifecycle half of the Praxis contract — acknowledge, resolve,
+ignore, pin — has no voice path at all. Attention and changes have none either.
+
+Three of the twelve got as far as the wrong place, which is the same defect seen from the
+other side: `"готово, закрывай"` and `"как дела у праксиса"` route to act with text, so
+they fall past the Praxis check into the Hexis one and go to entity resolution instead.
+
+## The live services
+
+All three are up and answer. With `no_proxy` set for the loopback (the host's `http_proxy`
+answers 503 for 127.0.0.1, which is the same trap `llmrouter_test.go` documents):
+
+```
+127.0.0.1:8989/health -> {"status":"ok"}   praxis
+127.0.0.1:9740/health -> {"status":"ok"}   nexus
+127.0.0.1:9741/health -> {"status":"ok"}   hexis
+127.0.0.1:8989/api/v1/tools/attention?limit=3 -> []
+127.0.0.1:8989/api/v1/tools/changes?limit=3   -> []
+```
+
+So the boundary is not the problem, and an end-to-end run today would add nothing: both
+Praxis feeds are empty, so even a perfect reach score would produce "ничего не требует
+внимания". The gap is entirely on Maven's side of the wire.
+
+## Not measured
+
+**The resident model.** The LLM router is the deployed default, and these numbers are the
+classifier only. `mavend` spawns its llama-server on a container-local port
+(127.0.0.1:40063 inside `maven-mavend-1`), unreachable from the host, and the workstation
+at 192.168.1.105:8080 was down. The classifier is the failure floor and it is what always
+answers, so the floor is worth knowing on its own — but the LLM router could fill the fn
+slot with a literal `list_attention`, since the grammar lets it emit any string. Whether
+it does is the open question, and the fixture is ready for it.
+
+## What this argues for
+
+Not a new intent. The seven are frozen by prompt parity with the training workspace.
+
+The cheap fix is stage 0: a grammar per Praxis capability that sets `Slots.Fn` to the
+canonical arm name, the same trick `AgendaQueryGrammars` used to take agenda questions off
+the model. It costs one regex per capability on every turn and it is deterministic, which
+for a lifecycle verb is the right trade — "отметь это как сделанное" should never be a
+similarity guess.
+
+The second fix is smaller and separate: `entity_attention` aliases to grammar names only,
+so scoped attention ("что там с нексусом") needs a grammar before it can be reached at
+all.

+|---|---|---|
+| **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 |
+| RU / EN passed | 13/24 / 3/6 | 18/26 / 4/6 |
+| 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.

+# Routing from audio: four paths, one fixture
+
+**05-08-2026. Vikunja #486.** Workstation `gemma-4-12B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL` with
+`mmproj-F16.gguf`, homesrv whisper `ggml-small`, piper `ru_RU-irina-medium`.
+
+**Verdict: transcribe, then route.** One call from audio straight to a route loses 36
+points, so it is not a candidate. Moving speech-to-text to the workstation buys 375ms and
+better transcripts at no measurable accuracy cost. So #486 proceeds on the two-call shape.
+
+## The numbers
+
+72 Russian cases from `internal/router/eval/ru_routing_v1.json`, rendered by piper at
+16kHz mono, 153.9s of audio, mean 2.14s per clip. Every path used the daemon's own
+`routeSystem` prompt and `routeGrammar`, read out of `internal/router/llmrouter.go` at run
+time, at `temperature 0` and `enable_thinking:false`.
+
+| Path | Intent-only | Verbatim transcripts | p50 | p95 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| text in, the ceiling | **90.3%** (65/72) | — | 361ms | 495ms |
+| whisper on homesrv, then route | **84.7%** (61/72) | 29/72 | 1372ms | 1546ms |
+| workstation transcribes, then routes | **83.3%** (60/72) | 48/72 | 997ms | 1177ms |
+| workstation, one call from audio | **54.2%** (39/72) | — | 425ms | 756ms |
+
+The 90.3% ceiling is the same model on the same 72 cases with the utterance as text. It is
+not the 93.5% in `docs/evals/2026-08-02-workstation-gemma4-12b.md`, which scored all 87
+cases including the English ones.
+
+The two speech-to-text paths differ by one case, which is noise on 72. So the choice
+between them is latency and transcript quality, and the workstation wins both.
+
+## One call from audio is not a transcription failure
+
+The obvious reading of 54.2% is that the audio encoder cannot hear Russian. It can. Eight
+of the failing clips were sent back with a transcribe instruction instead of the router
+prompt:
+
+| Clip | Said | Heard, transcribing | Routing from audio |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ru-sys-002 | какое число завтра | Какое число завтра? | `unknown` |
+| ru-sys-003 | переходи в тихий режим | Переходи в тихий режим. | `unknown` |
+| ru-query-001 | сколько воды я выпил с утра | Сколько воды я выпил с утра? | `fact`, value "выпил с утра" |
+| ru-act-002 | выключи свет в спальне | Выключи свет в спальне. | `fact`, value "включен" |
+
+Four clips it transcribes word for word, and routes wrong or refuses. The `ru-query-001`
+row shows the mechanism: the emitted slot holds the tail of the sentence and the
+interrogative head is gone. The model is not deaf, it stops attending to the audio once it
+is also holding a 3.5k-character classification prompt.
+
+That pattern decides the whole task. A long system prompt and an audio part compete, so the
+transcription has to be its own call with a short instruction. It also means the number
+would not be rescued by a better prompt, a longer clip, or a bigger `mmproj`.
+
+The failures cluster where the head of the sentence carries the intent: `ru-act` 1/6,
+`ru-sys` 2/5, `ru-query` 12/25. Reminders scored 10/10, because "напомни" is the first word
+and nothing after it changes the answer.
+
+## Transcript quality and routing accuracy come apart
+
+The workstation transcribes 48 of 72 verbatim against whisper's 29, and routes one case
+worse. Both directions of that appear in the same run:
+
+- `ru-chat-002`: whisper heard "Кто думаешь про переезд", the workstation heard "Что ты
+  думаешь про переезд". The correct transcript routed to `chat`, the broken one to `query`.
+- `ru-query-020`: whisper heard "Кто дальше?", the workstation heard the correct "Что
+  дальше?". The **broken** transcript routed correctly and the correct one missed.
+
+A word error rate is not a proxy for routing accuracy here. Judge a speech-to-text change
+on the routing fixture, not on transcripts.
+
+Three cases only the text path gets right. No speech-to-text path recovers them, so they
+are lost in the rendering rather than in the model.
+
+## Latency
+
+Whisper `ggml-small` on homesrv CPU costs p50 998ms for a 2.14s clip, which is nearly
+all of that path's 1372ms. The workstation does the same job inside its 997ms end-to-end
+total for two calls. So the transfer is worth about 375ms per turn at p50, and more at p95.
+
+Both are above the one-call 425ms, and that is the trade the table settles: 29 points of
+accuracy for 572ms.
+
+## Notes for the next run
+
+- `--mmproj /mnt/D/AI/gemma4/mmproj-F16.gguf` has to be in `llama_args` in
+  `~/.config/mavgpud.json`, or `/props` reports `modalities.audio: false` and every audio
+  part is dropped silently. It was added for this measurement and removed afterwards, so
+  the box is back to the text-only config.
+- `enable_thinking:false` is mandatory. It was set for all 224 calls here.
+- The degenerate `<|channel>thought` output recorded against #486 did not reproduce, in 80
+  transcribe calls or in 144 routing calls.
+- Piper renders at 22050Hz mono. Every clip was resampled with
+  `ffmpeg -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le`, because 16kHz is what `audio.PCM16kMono`
+  declares and what the earlier measurement used.

+
+Vikunja V-538. `rewriteHalfPast` in `internal/router/halfpast.go`, run in front of
+the token pass inside `SpellOutDigits`, so both date parsers see digits.
+
+## What the shapes are
+
+Russian names a half hour by the hour being ENTERED, in the genitive. "половина
+восьмого" is 07:30. "без четверти восемь" counts the other way, from a cardinal,
+and is 07:45. Both are minus one from the word in the sentence, and the arithmetic
+lives in one function, `clockHourBefore`.
+
+## Result
+
+| | before | after |
+|---|---|---|
+| classifier + onnx over the routing fixture | 58/82 (70.7%) | 62/87 (71.3%) |
+| new fixture cases passing | — | 2 of 3 |
+| stub parser reads a half hour | no | yes |
+
+The three new cases are ru-rem-008, ru-rem-009 and ru-rem-010. No existing case
+regressed and no new clarify appeared.
+
+ru-rem-009, "разбуди меня полвосьмого", still misses the intent. Its two siblings
+without a half hour miss it the same way. ru-rem-005 "разбуди меня в 6:30" routes
+to `fact`, and en-rem-002 "wake me at 6:15" does too. So the miss is the "разбуди"
+phrasing against the classifier, not the half hour. The time slot now fills.
+
+## Not measured here
+
+Python dateparser. It is not installed on this host, so only the stub was run.
+The rewrite emits "в 7:30 вечера". The script's own qualifier rewrite turns that
+trailing "вечера" into "pm", which is the shape it already reads for a whole hour.
+Judge it on the box.
+
+The LLM arm. No llama-server in this run, so the cascade number is the classifier
+floor.
+
+## Left out on purpose
+
+Minutes a spoken clock does not use. "без семи восемь" is not rewritten, because
+nobody says it and a guess in this shape is a missed dose. The parsers fail on it
+as they did before.

+# Does the ZIM answer when the line is down? (V-508)

+Measured 2026-08-05 on the deploy, through `POST /api/chat`. The question was
+`что такое фотосинтез` in every run. Which source claimed is read off
+`voice: query claimed by source` and off the badge V-539 added.
+
+## It fires, and it is fast when the host is gone
+
+`docker stop searxng`, then one question:
+
+| | Claimed by | Turn |
+|---|---|---|
+| Search reachable | search | 3.5 s |
+| Container stopped | kiwix | 3.5 s |
+| Host blackholed | kiwix | 15.4 s |
+
+With the container stopped, DNS failed and the ZIM answered inside the same
+second:
+
+```
+15:40:51 voice: search "что такое фотосинтез": ... lookup searxng: no such host
+15:40:51 voice: kiwix: "photosynthesis" → 5 hits, top "Photosynthesis"
+15:40:53 voice: query claimed by source "kiwix"
+```
+
+The rewrite, the search and the reply all fit in the same turn budget as a live
+search. The fallback works.
+
+## The blackhole is the case that hurts
+
+192.0.2.1 is reserved and routed nowhere. Pointing `search.url` at it is the
+shape of a real outage: the router drops the packet instead of refusing it. The
+search sat for its full 8-second budget before the ZIM was asked. The turn took
+15.4 seconds against 3.5. He waits through all of it with nothing
+being said.
+
+Fixed by capping the connect phase alone at 1.5 s (`dialTimeout` in
+`internal/websearch/searxng.go`). The instance is on the LAN, so a connection it
+will ever accept is accepted in milliseconds. A reachable instance that is
+merely slow still gets the whole 8 seconds. It is fanning out to real engines,
+which is worth waiting for.
+
+## The Russian ZIM is now on the box and is read directly
+
+`wikipedia_ru_all_maxi_2026-02` (41 GB) was copied to the kiwix zims directory
+and kiwix-serve picked it up. Note that the catalog name is derived from the
+filename. `books.name=wikipedia_ru_all_maxi_2026-02` returns Фотосинтез,
+С4-фотосинтез and Википедия. The `<name>` field in the catalog says
+`wikipedia_ru_all`, which returns nothing.
+
+A Cyrillic question now searches that book verbatim (`book_ru` in the `kiwix`
+block). The rewriter was never a feature. An English ZIM cannot match a Russian
+sentence, so the resident model translated the question into English keywords
+first. That costs a model call. It also drops whatever the keywords do not carry.
+Against a Russian book it is a translation of his own words back at him.
+
+## Not measured here
+
+- The Russian book answering a driven turn. The `book_ru` field is a binary
+  change, so it needs a rebuild the owner runs. The book itself was verified by
+  querying kiwix-serve directly.
+- Recall against the Russian book compared with the rewrite path. Reading his
+  own language directly should win, and it was not scored.
+- `ru.stackoverflow.com_mul_all_2026-02.zim` is still in the staging directory

+
+## Why it was zero
+
+Not a tuning gap. `handlePraxisAct` dispatches on exact equality between
+`Slots.Fn` and a capability alias, and the fn slot is filled by `DefaultActMatcher`
+from the deployment's enabled tool names. No Praxis alias is on that list, so no
+utterance could put one in the slot. The Russian aliases in `praxisCapabilities`
+read as if they matched speech. They are compared against a fn slot and never
+against an utterance.
+
+`PraxisGrammars()` (`internal/router/praxis.go`) fills the slot at stage 0, wired in
+`buildRouter` before the capture marker because "отметь" is a capture verb.
+
+## The three misses that remain
+
+- `eco-ru-006` "запусти бэкап на нексусе", a Hexis case, routed note. Pre-existing.
+- `eco-ru-028` "выключи", reached Hexis, should have asked. Pre-existing.
+- `eco-ru-021` "что там с нексусом" wants scoped attention. Deliberately not
+  claimed. "что там с X" also opens "что там с погодой". Routing a weather
+  question to Nexus is worse than one missed fixture case.
+
+## Two judgement calls worth re-arguing
+
+**A lifecycle word alone does not transition an item.** "готово" is what he says
+about the thing he just finished. So the rules split lifecycle words by mood. An
+imperative he says to her ("закрывай") claims the turn bare, and the capability
+asks which пункт. A stative ("готово", "принято") needs an item named beside it.
+
+The bare-imperative arm also requires that nothing else in the sentence is being
+acted on. "закрой шторы в комнате" is an imperative too. Without that guard it took
+a house command to Praxis, measured at hexis 8/10 mid-change.
+
+**A demonstrative resolves only against a one-item digest.** "отметь это как
+сделанное" points at what she just read. `resolveSurfacedPosition` maps it to an id
+only when exactly one item was spoken. With two or more it gives the turn back to
+the cascade rather than transitioning one of them at random. With no digest at all
+it gives the turn back too, because "я это сделал" was never about a пункт.
+
+## Routing fixture
+
+`make eval-router`, same run: classifier + ONNX 60/84 (71.4% full and intent-only),
+0 false clarifies, 6 missed clarifies (the known `amb-*` set). No failure in that
+list comes from a stage-0 decision. Every one carries a classifier confidence score.

+
+## The open question is answered: the model never reaches Praxis
+
+The route grammar lets the model write any string into the `fn` slot. So it
+could in principle emit a literal Praxis capability name, and reach a service
+the classifier structurally cannot. It does not. **Praxis is 0/12 with the
+model alone.** That is exactly what the classifier alone scores. Every one of
+the twelve fails the same way: the utterance stays local with an empty `fn`.
+
+So the stage-0 Praxis grammars from V-516 are not a determinism argument. They
+are the only path to Praxis that exists. Deleting them takes reach from 11/12
+back to 0/12 whichever engine is answering.
+
+The failure is not that the model routes these badly in its own terms. It
+spreads them across `query`, `fact`, `system` and `chat`. Those are reasonable
+readings of "что требует внимания" and "готово, закрывай" for a model that has
+never been told Praxis exists. Nothing in the prompt names a Praxis capability,
+so there is no string for it to write.
+
+## What the model does buy
+
+Hexis is 10/10 with the model alone, and the mutating tag is 10/15 llm-only
+against 15/15 through the cascade. The model reaches everything Hexis owns
+without help, which is the half the act allowlist already names in the prompt.
+
+Cascade + llm scores one point above the classifier baseline: 28/30 against
+27/30, the difference being one attention case. That is the same shape as the
+routing fixture, where the router buys about 4 points rather than a doubling.
+
+## The two that still miss
+
+- `eco-ru-021 "что там с нексусом"`. Routes `query`, stays local, wants Praxis.
+  Asking after a named service reads as a question about a thing, and no
+  grammar claims a service name.
+- `eco-ru-029 "сделай это"`. Routes `act` and reaches Hexis. The fixture wants
+  nothing reached, because "это" names no target. This is the overreach case
+  and it is the one direction worth failing on. The confirmation binding
+  downstream still resolves a canonical entity id before anything executes.
+  The fixture is right that the turn should have asked.
+
+Overreach is 1 in both configurations, under the 4 the harness asserts.
+
+## How to re-run
+
+```sh
+MAVEN_LLM_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8899 \
+  deps/go/go/bin/go test -v -count=1 -timeout 40m \
+  -run TestReachWithLLMRouter ./internal/router/eval/
+```
+
+The host `http_proxy` answers 503 for 127.0.0.1. `noProxyLoopback` in the test
+excludes it. A run that scores every case as a route error measured the proxy.

+# Routing with the resident model, re-measured
+
+Date: 2026-08-05. Vikunja #320 items 2 and 3.
+Fixture: `internal/router/eval/ru_routing_v1.json`, now **91 cases** (76 ru, 15 en).
+Model: Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL, llama-server on the host at 127.0.0.1:8899.
+Harness: `TestLLMRouterBaseline`, `make eval-models`.
+
+## How the block was cleared
+
+Item 2 was blocked because the resident llama-server binds `--host 127.0.0.1
+--port 0` inside `maven-mavend-1`. The port is kernel-assigned, scraped from
+stderr and never published, so no `go test` on the host can reach it. The task
+listed three ways out. This run took the first: a **second** llama-server on
+the same gguf, on a fixed host port. The Vega takes the second copy of a 1.7B
+without complaint.
+
+## The numbers
+
+| configuration | full | intent-only | p50 | p95 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| llm-only | 34/91 (37.4%) | 61.5% | 1.24s | 1.65s |
+| cascade + llm + hash fallback | 69/91 (75.8%) | 80.2% | 1.19s | 1.65s |
+
+By language, through the cascade: ru 57/76, en 12/15.
+Clarify: 3 false, 1 missed. No errors. Six slots deferred to the daemon.
+
+For comparison, the figures that stood in CLAUDE.md were 72.7% full and 77.9%
+intent-only, measured on 77 cases. The fixture has grown by 14 cases since, so
+this is a new baseline rather than a movement.
+
+## llm-only is low for a reason that is not routing
+
+37.4% full against 61.5% intent-only is the gap, and it is almost entirely
+slots. Every reminder case fails with "no time slot, want one". The model
+routes `reminder` correctly and leaves the time to the daemon, which is what
+the contract asks of it. The cascade fills those slots. That is why the same
+model scores 38 points higher inside it.
+
+Three cases errored in the llm-only arm and none in the cascade, which is the
+fallback working as designed.
+
+## Item 3: latency
+
+Router p50 1.19s, p95 1.65s, max 1.79s through the cascade. The one earlier
+data point in the task, roughly 6s wall clock for `привет` through
+`POST /api/chat`, was the whole path and not the router. It is not comparable
+and should not be quoted as a routing number.
+
+These numbers are the homesrv floor. With the workstation up, routing completes
+against gemma-4-12b at p50 329ms, measured separately in
+`docs/evals/2026-08-02-workstation-gemma4-12b.md`.
+
+## What still misses
+
+The confusion is concentrated in one direction: `query→fact ×4`,
+`query→note ×3`, `query→system ×3`. A question about his own rows that carries
+no interrogative reads as a statement to the model. Ten of the twenty-two
+failures are that shape, including "я сегодня вообще пил воду" and "чем я
+занимался в среду". This is the case V-546's three-head classifier is aimed at.
+
+The two `разбуди меня` cases clarify at 0.300 instead of routing `reminder`.
+
+## Item 4 is still not run
+
+Killing the resident llama-server to confirm the classifier floor needs a
+permission this session does not have. The test is otherwise ready. It now has
+a second half. With the workstation up, killing the resident server should
+still complete a turn through `modelSeam`. Only killing both proves the
+classifier answers.

+# Does SearXNG claim a question it cannot answer? (V-539)
+
+Measured 2026-08-05 against the configured instance, `http://127.0.0.1:9563`,
+`max_results: 4`, `language: auto`. Sixteen Russian questions: eight real, eight
+invented from non-words. The probe read SearXNG's JSON directly, so this measures
+the search, not the cascade around it.
+
+## The premise no longer reproduces
+
+V-539 was filed on the 2026-08-02 measurement, where SearXNG returned four
+results for every query including `зыркабулентный флогистон Мшанского`, and no
+`voice: kiwix:` line ever appeared. Today the same shape of query returns
+nothing:
+
+| Query set | Zero results | Four results claimed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Eight real questions | 0 | 8 |
+| Eight invented questions | 7 | 1 |
+
+`Response.Empty()` is already the gate. Seven of eight invented questions now
+pass the turn to the ZIM with no code change at all. What changed is upstream.
+Every real answer today comes from `google cse`. It answers a non-word with an
+empty result set, where the engine set of three days ago answered with
+something.
+
+## The one that still claims
+
+`трюмбальная нидроскопия` returned four results, all about a lumbar puncture:
+
+```
+Люмбальная пункция - адреса и стоимость в больницах в СПб
+Пункция спинного мозга - Больница «Шиба
+Педиатрический фантом люмбальной пункции новорожденного
+```
+
+The engine read the invented word as a misspelling of a real one and answered
+the real one. That is the whole remaining failure, and it is a near-miss
+spelling rather than a catch-all.
+
+## The three candidate signals do not separate the sets
+
+V-539 named three signals a quality gate could read. Each was recorded per
+query:
+
+- **No result title shares a token with the query.** Useless. It is true of the
+  one bad claim, and also true of `столица Франции`, whose four titles are
+  `Париж`, `Франция`, `Париж — Путеводитель`, `Париж - Море Трэвел`. The right
+  answer to a capital-city question is the city, which is not a word in the
+  question. Two more real questions score 3 of 4 rather than 4.
+- **Every snippet is empty.** Never fired. Zero empty snippets across all
+  sixteen queries, real or invented. `ParseResponse` already drops a hit with no
+  text, so this signal cannot fire by construction.
+- **A spelling-suggestion or catch-all engine answered.** Never fired. SearXNG
+  returned no `corrections` and no `suggestions` for any query, including the one
+  that silently corrected the spelling itself.
+
+## Decision: do not build the threshold
+
+A gate on token overlap would cost `столица Франции` a correct answer to save
+one invented word, and the other two signals cannot fire. The task said a wrong
+threshold costs a real answer and needs measuring first. It was measured and it
+loses.
+
+What ships instead is the second half of V-539. The claiming query source now
+crosses the IPC seam on `ipc.ChatReply.Source`. It renders as a badge beside the
+reply on `/chat`. The only evidence before it was a `voice:` log line, which is
+why this was hard to judge. The next occurrence is readable off the UI rather
+than off the box.
+
+## Not measured here
+
+- The cascade. This probe read SearXNG directly. It says nothing about how
+  `querySearch` phrases what it gets, or whether the resident model turns four
+  weak snippets into a confident wrong sentence.
+- Kiwix. It was healthy on 2026-08-02 and was not re-probed today.
+- English questions. The premise was about Russian, where the invented words are.
+- Whether the engine set is stable. The whole finding is that it moved in three
+  days, so this table is a reading of one day.

+Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL on the host, no workstation in the run. The fixture holds
+36 cases now, against 27 when the bakeoff measured it. So the old score is not
+a column in this table.
+
+## Result

+|---|---|---|
+| talk, passes every check | 2/36 (5.6%) | 25/36 (69.4%) |
+| failed generations | 31 | 0 |

+| nudges (15 cases) | 15/15 | 15/15 |
+
+## What the 31 errors were
+
+Not the model. `escapeRawControls` in `internal/phraser/llmphraser.go`, added
+for #537 to repair a raw newline written inside a string, escaped the whole
+object. Qwen3-1.7B pretty-prints: it opens `{` and writes three newlines before
+the first key. Those newlines became a literal backslash-n, which is legal
+nowhere outside a string, so the object stopped parsing and `parseResponseMood`
+reported `errBrokenJSON`.
+
+The comment said escaping unconditionally could not turn valid JSON into
+anything else, because JSON permits no control character outside a string. It
+permits three. Newline, tab and return are whitespace between tokens, and that
+is what pretty-printing is made of.
+
+Every chat reply and every knowledge answer the resident model wrote was being
+discarded for a stub line. The nudge path never showed it, because the nudge
+prompt gets compact JSON back.
+
+## The 11 that still fail
+
+Eight are `ontopic`, three are `address`.
+
+The address failures are all plural imperatives written to a formal listener:
+`держите`, `уточните`, `попробуйте`. Feminine self-reference held in all 36,
+which is the half #122 is training for. So the persona gap the CPT is aimed at
+is now the address half, not the gender half.
+
+The ontopic failures are the resident model answering next to the question
+rather than in it. `chat-joke` describes crying dolls instead of telling one,
+`know-hiccups` calls hiccups an icon, `know-boil-egg` answers about an omelette.
+`chat-about-me` answers "Я - записка", which is the same confabulation the
+bakeoff recorded.
+
+## Not measured here
+
+The workstation. Every number above is the homesrv floor. `make eval-phrasing`
+points at one URL, so a gemma-4-12b column needs its own run.

+# Talk temperature sweep: Qwen3-1.7B, 4 temperatures × 3 runs
+
+Date: 05-08-2026. Model: Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL, the resident model, on homesrv.
+Harness: `TestTalkTemperatureSweep` (`internal/phraser/eval/temperature_test.go`),
+gated on `MAVEN_LLM_URL` + `MAVEN_TEMP_SWEEP`. Fixture: the 36-case talk set.
+Wall clock: 3394s for all twelve runs. Vikunja #402.
+
+## What was asked
+
+Whether 0.7 is the right sampling temperature for phrasing, and whether a lower
+one buys persona compliance.
+
+## Numbers
+
+| temp | run 1 | run 2 | run 3 | mean | errors |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 0.70 | 24/36 | 24/36 | 22/36 | 23.3 (64.8%) | 7, 4, 6 |
+| 0.40 | 25/36 | 25/36 | 26/36 | 25.3 (70.4%) | 3, 4, 5 |
+| 0.20 | 22/36 | 23/36 | 26/36 | 23.7 (65.7%) | 6, 5, 4 |
+| 0.05 | 23/36 | 25/36 | 23/36 | 23.7 (65.7%) | 5, 5, 6 |
+
+## What it says
+
+**The sweep does not separate the temperatures.** 0.40 leads by 5.6 points on
+the mean. The spread inside a single temperature is 11 points: 0.20 ranges 22 to
+26 across three runs of the same setting. Three runs cannot tell a 5.6-point
+effect from that noise. Lowering the temperature to 0.05 does not help either.
+That is the result that would have been most useful if it had.
+
+**So the default stays 0.7.** `Config.Temperature` is now a config field, so
+setting it is a one-line change. No measurement here justifies moving it. Anyone
+re-running this needs more runs per setting, not more settings.
+
+## The finding that is not about temperature
+
+Sixty of the failures across twelve runs are one error:
+`phraser: model output starts as JSON but does not parse`. The case fails with
+an empty string, so it costs a whole case rather than one check.
+
+They are not spread evenly. Every one lands in the `reply` family, and the
+distribution is:
+
+| case | runs failed (of 12) |
+|---|---|
+| reply-reminder-tomorrow | 12 |
+| reply-reminder-evening | 12 |
+| reply-question-bait | 11 |
+| reply-formality-bait | 9 |
+| reply-note-router | 8 |
+| reply-fact-weight | 6 |
+
+Two cases fail in every single run at every temperature. That is not sampling
+noise, and no temperature will fix it. It is a defect in the reply phrasing
+path. It caps the talk fixture at 30/36 before persona is scored at all. Filed
+as Vikunja #537.
+
+The talk score of 27/36 recorded on 2026-08-04 went through a different call
+path. It is not comparable to the numbers above.

+# 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.

+# Plan: The work board surface
+
+**The decision Vikunja #431 asked for. Written 04-08-2026.**
+
+**Verdict: build it, in a smaller shape than the task imagined.** The board is worth
+moving out of the file. The intake form belongs on the `/tasks` page, not on the voice
+path. The argument is not built, now or later.
+
+## Why it is worth building
+
+The reason is the one the task gives and it holds: company rules forbid pointing Claude
+at work repos, and Maven is the one assistant on the box that work material may reach.
+No telemetry, no cloud model, no third-party account. That is not a preference here, it
+is the whole permission.
+
+The build is also small, because most of it landed already:
+
+| Piece | Where | State |
+|---|---|---|
+| task rows, dedupe, status lifecycle | `internal/store/migrations.go:149` and migration #15 | done |
+| capture from speech, urgency stripped | `router.ParseTaskCapture`, `router.TaskCaptureGrammar` | done |
+| recite the list on request | `router.IsTaskListQuery` | done |
+| a page to read and change the board | `/tasks` in `cmd/mavweb` | done |
+| counting a shape without judging it | `internal/memory/behavior.go` | done, as precedent |
+| a proposal he reads when he chooses | `/routines`, the proposed-routine queue | done, as precedent |
+
+`tasks` already carries `status` (candidate, open, done, dropped), `due_ts`, `weight`,
+`source`, `evidence`, `ext_id` and `resolved_by`. Three things are missing. It has no
+definition of done and no blocked-on. There is no way to edit a task after capture:
+`SetTaskStatus` moves the status and nothing writes text, date or weight again. And
+there is no grouping he controls, because order is computed by `tasks.Rank` alone.
+
+## Where the form lives, and why not voice
+
+The task asks the form to refuse a capture with no definition of done. That refusal
+cannot live on the voice path, for two reasons.
+
+**The parked-state mechanism is binary.** `resolveConfirm` in `cmd/mavend/confirm.go`
+answers yes or no against a slot with a 90-second life. Filling four fields over four
+turns is slot filling, which is a different mechanism and a new one. Nothing in the
+daemon does it today.
+
+**The definition of done is the worst possible field to dictate.** It is the one string
+that has to be exact, because its whole purpose is to be unarguable later. Whisper
+transcribing a sentence of Russian work vocabulary is where exactness goes to die, and
+the capture path already had to strip a question mark that whisper invented.
+
+So: voice captures a line and recites the list. The page is where a line becomes an
+item with a definition of done, a blocked-on and a date. A captured line lands as
+`candidate` and stays there until it is filled in, which is what `candidate` was for.
+
+The refusal the task wants survives, moved: the page will not promote a candidate to
+`open` without a definition of done, the same way `ParseTaskCapture` will not file a
+marker with nothing after it. And the field must close on either outcome, so "it already
+works" counts as complete. A definition of done that only one result satisfies is a wish.
+
+## Does the stage-0 trick stretch
+
+The task asks this before any shape is committed to. It was checked. The answer is
+partly.
+
+`TaskCaptureGrammar` matches every utterance and lets `ParseTaskCapture` decide inside
+`Build`, keeping the intent at `note` and leaving the frozen seven-intent contract alone.
+That trick stretches to **recite** and to **status change**: both are a marker plus a
+referent, both are a lookup, and a status change is a small closed verb set over a list
+he can see. It does not stretch to **intake**, because intake is not one utterance, and
+it does not need to, because intake moved to the page.
+
+One cost to name. Each such grammar matches everything and runs its parser on every
+turn, ahead of the resident model. Two more of them is fine. A dozen would make stage 0
+a second router with no evaluation behind it, and at that point the frozen enum is the
+smaller problem.
+
+## What is not built: the argument
+
+Not now and not later behind a flag. The task is right about why, and
+`internal/memory/behavior.go` already argued it for habits: a 1.7B asked whether evidence
+proves anything will agree fluently and launder a guess into a decision. A wrong claim
+about his work, stated confidently, is the most expensive kind of wrong Maven can be.
+
+The line is the same line behaviour memory drew. She may **count**:
+
+- no state change in eleven days
+- blocked on a person, with no date
+- four of nine waiting on two people
+
+Those are queries over rows. She may not assess whether a build proves anything, whether
+a blocker is real, or whether a task should be dropped.
+
+## Persona
+
+A progress tracker is a nag by default, and "not a nag" is hard. The line is already
+drawn twice in the codebase and it is drawn the same way here:
+
+- A date he set becomes a reminder. He set it, so it is not her raising it.
+- A stall becomes a proposal he reads when he chooses, on a page, like `/routines`.
+- Ask what is on the board and she recites. She never opens with it.
+
+The day plan is the place to watch. `tickLoop.dayPlan` reads calendar events, pending
+reminders and checklist facts, and it does not read tasks. Adding the board to the
+morning nudge is exactly the move that turns this into a nag, so the board goes on the
+page and into the answer when asked, and not into the unprompted morning message.
+
+## The build, as tasks
+
+1. Two columns on `tasks`: definition of done, and blocked-on. Blocked-on resolves
+   through Nexus like any other person reference, because identity lives in Nexus.
+2. An edit path. Today a task is write-once except for its status, so the form has
+   nothing to save into.
+3. `/tasks` grows the form: promote candidate to open only with a definition of done,
+   set a date, set blocked-on. A date set here writes a reminder.
+4. A status-change grammar at stage 0, following `TaskCaptureGrammar`.
+5. Counted stall shapes on `/tasks`, phrased as counts. No assessment.
+
+Note for whoever picks up 3: `/tasks` accepts its POST without the step-up gate, while
+`/routines` and `/tools` require a passkey. That was deliberate for capture. Adding an
+edit path is the moment to re-argue it, not to inherit it silently.
+
+Each is separable and each is worth stopping after.

+# Plan: What the ambient calendar path should be
+
+**The decision Vikunja #432 asked for. Written 04-08-2026.**
+
+**Verdict: keep the endpoint, change the contract.** The relay app sends structured
+fields, not a notification blob. The free-text parser stays as the degraded path, because
+there is a real case where the phone cannot produce structure. Delete the endpoint only
+if the answer to the one open question below is no.
+
+## First, the task's premise is out of date
+
+#432 states as confirmed that every ambient event lands on the day the notification was
+posted, because there is no date parsing at all. That was true when the task was filed
+and it is not true now.
+
+`4e4c917` added `dayWords` and `dayOffset` (`internal/calendar/ambient.go:53`), so
+"завтра в 15:00" now dates to tomorrow. The same commit added `ambientPastGrace`, which
+refuses an event landing more than two hours before the notification, on the reasoning
+that the day was inferred and a stale inference is wrong rather than late. `45a5e37`
+(#482, this week) fixed a second dating bug the task did not know about: the wall clock
+was resolved against the notification's own zone, so every ambient meeting on a non-UTC
+box landed off by the deploy's UTC offset.
+
+What is still missing is an explicit date. "5 августа в 15:00" and "12.08 15:00" carry no
+day word, so they date to today and the past-grace check drops them. That is a smaller
+defect than the one filed, and it fails safe rather than storing a wrong meeting.
+
+The task's third question also has an answer, and the answer is yes. `internal/morning/plan.go:174`
+prefixes an uncertain item with "похоже, " and `cmd/mavend/actions_query.go:334` carries
+`Confidence < 1.0` into the calendar recital. Both readers hedge.
+
+## The open question, and it is the owner's
+
+**Can the phone read Android's calendar provider, or only the notification text?**
+
+Everything follows from this and nothing in this repo can answer it.
+
+A `NotificationListenerService` sees a title and a body. It cannot know a meeting's real
+start, end or organiser, because those are not in the notification. So if the relay is
+limited to the notification stream, free-text parsing on this side is not a choice, it is
+the only thing available, and #432's suggestion that the phone send structured JSON
+cannot be honoured.
+
+If the app may instead read `CalendarContract`, it has the actual event rows, and the
+whole parser stops being necessary. That is the better shape by a wide margin: a real
+start and end, a real title, an explicit date, no clock-reading heuristic and no
+past-grace guard, because nothing is inferred.
+
+Reading the phone's calendar provider does not break the constraint the design was built
+around. The refusal in `internal/calendar/ambient.go:10` is about holding a work
+credential **on the homelab**, which is what ties the box's blast radius to the employer.
+The phone already holds that session. Nothing new lands on homesrv either way.
+
+**Assumption, and it needs his answer:** a managed work profile may block a third-party
+app from reading work calendar rows. If it does, the notification stream is all there is.
+
+## The decision
+
+**Keep the endpoint.** Deleting it costs the parser, the tests and the wg-facing token,
+and buys nothing while the question above is open. It is off unless `-ambient-token` is
+set, so an unbuilt relay carries no surface today.
+
+**Make structured the primary shape.** `/api/ambient` should accept an event with an
+explicit start, end and title, and store it without parsing anything. Confidence stays
+below 1.0 and the source stays `ambient:notif`, because the provenance claim is unchanged:
+this is the phone telling Maven what it sees, not Maven reading a calendar.
+
+**Keep the free-text shape as the degraded path.** It is what a notification-only relay
+can send, and it is already written and tested.
+
+**Delete it instead if** the relay is not going to be built. That is the one answer that
+closes this without code, and it is his to give.
+
+## What not to do
+
+Do not add date parsing to the free-text path yet. That is the patch #432 explicitly
+refuses to accept as closure, and it is the wrong order: if the relay can send a date, no
+date parser is needed, and if it cannot, the parser is guessing at a date from text that
+was never meant to carry one.
+
+## Follow-on, unrelated to the decision
+
+`cmd/mavweb/ambient.go:33` records a known gap worth keeping visible: an ambient meeting
+writes `calendar_event_*` and never `calendar_busy`, so it is good enough to recite and
+not good enough to suppress a nudge. That is backwards. Suppressing a nudge is the
+lower-risk use of a low-confidence signal, and reciting one is the higher-risk use. It
+needs an expiry on the busy level, so it is its own task either way.
