      "content": "Yes — I remember. The **Thalamus** was our proposed middle-layer program — basically the *traffic controller* or *intake loop* for Lyra’s cognitive system.  \n\nHere’s the gist of where we left it:  \n\n- **Purpose:**  \n  Thalamus acts as a *buffer and summarizer* between **Relay/Core** (real-time chat input/output) and **Cortex** (inner reflection/reasoning daemon).  \n\n- **Core idea:**  \n  Instead of streaming every single message to Cortex instantly, Thalamus collects them in a **queue or rolling window** — e.g. last 5, 10, or 20 exchanges — and then triggers periodic summaries or annotations.  \n\n- **Functions we discussed:**  \n  1. Maintain a running buffer of recent chat exchanges.  \n  2. Send summarized “chunks” to Cortex on a timer or threshold (e.g. every 10 exchanges).  \n  3. Optionally store these mini-summaries in NVGRAM for context recall.  \n  4. Allow adjustable windows (“summarize last 5”, “last 20”) for experimentation.  \n  5. Possibly have its own lightweight metadata stream (timestamps, salience scores, emotional tone, etc.).  \n\nIf we’re kicking off prototyping, I suggest we start with a **super-simple text loop** version — no network calls yet — that just:  \n1. Holds the last N messages.  \n2. Summarizes when N hits a limit.  \n3. Prints or saves that summary.  \n\nWould you like me to walk you through setting up that minimal prototype (like “step 1: create thalamus.py and stub the queue”)?"

Relay → Intake:**  \nRelay streams every chat message (user + assistant) to Intake via `/add`.  \nIntake quietly buffers them — like a hopper filling up with raw thoughts.  \n\n**2. Intake → Cortex:**  \nWhen the buffer hits your threshold (say 10 messages, or after X minutes), Intake pushes the entire bundle to Cortex:  \n> “Here’s the last 10 exchanges — summarize them into one coherent thought or reflection.”\n\n**3. Cortex → Summary:**  \nCortex runs its local reasoning model to create a short, semantically rich summary — a “condensed thought” representing that conversational span.\n\n**4. Cortex → Memory / Self-Prompt:**  \nThat summary then gets:\n- optionally written into NVGRAM (so Lyra can recall it later), and/or  \n- injected back into her *self-prompt context*, so she’s aware of her evolving internal narrative.\n\n---\n\n### 💡 Why this design is great\n- It keeps **Relay** fast and stateless.  \n- It keeps **Intake** lightweight — just a queue and trigger.  \n- It makes **Cortex** the sole “thinker,” so all introspection logic stays in one place.  \n- It scales: you could easily add timing triggers, salience weighting, or multi-window summaries later.\n\n---\n\n✅ **Verdict:** your instinct is right on the money.  \nThis is basically the human brain’s *working memory → reflection → consolidation* pipeline, just modularized.  \n\nIf you’d like, next step we can:  \n- make Intake actually *POST* to Cortex’s `/summarize` route (we’ll add that to Cortex),  \n- and handle the summary injection workflow cleanly.  \n\nWant to do that next?"

Long-Term Integration (your **NVGRAM / memory**)  \nOnce conscious processing finishes, that refined thought gets stored or reinforced — the same way our hippocampus consolidates experiences into memory.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ So your intuition is dead-on:\nThe summarizing layer *should* be separate from conscious thought,  \nbecause it’s doing **preprocessing** — turning chaotic text into coherent semantic chunks.  \nCortex then builds upon those chunks with reflection and reasoning.  \n\n---\n\nIf you’d like, we can now make that distinction explicit in code:  \n- Intake will call `/summarize` on Cortex,  \n- Cortex will return a clean “thought object” (summary + metadata),  \n- Intake will then POST that to NVGRAM or store it locally until Cortex requests it.  \n\nWould you like to start sketching that Cortex endpoint next (`/summarize`)?"

Relay → Intake  \n*Function:* “Catch everything.”  \n- Receives every user/assistant message.  \n- Adds metadata: timestamps, who spoke, maybe sentiment.  \n- Pushes it into the buffer.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧠 2. Intake → Cortex  \n*Function:* “Pre-process, but stay dumb.”  \nYou can pick one of two versions here:  \n1. **Passive mode** – Intake just bundles 10 messages and ships them raw to Cortex:  \n   > “Here’s the last 10 exchanges. Please summarize and reflect.”  \n2. **Active mode** – Intake makes a lightweight local summary (cheap model or rule-based) to reduce load before Cortex gets it.  \n\nEither option works; passive keeps Intake simple, active saves compute on Cortex.\n\n---\n\n### 💭 3. Cortex internal flow  \n*Function:* “Think about the idea.”  \nInside Cortex you can have two sub-layers:  \n- **Summarizer:** collapses the chunk into a single coherent thought (semantic compression).  \n- **Reflector:** turns that summary into introspective context — e.g. “I sense Brian was clarifying architecture; note: Intake should remain stateless.”  \n\nCortex then returns something like:\n```json\n{\n  \"summary\": \"They discussed Intake’s role as unconscious preprocessor.\",\n  \"reflection\": \"Keep Intake dumb; move summarization logic here.\",\n  \"tags\": [\"architecture\", \"pipeline\", \"metacognition\"]\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🪞 4. Conscious output / NVGRAM  \n*Function:* “Integrate.”  \n- Relay can insert the reflection into the LLM’s next system prompt (short-term self-awareness).  \n- NVGRAM stores it for long-term recall.  \nThis closes the loop: experience → reflection → updated context.\n\n---\n\n### 💡 The “holes” you mentioned  \nThey aren’t really gaps, just design decisions you’ll make later:  \n- **Where to summarize:** Intake (fast & local) vs. Cortex (accurate & reflective).  \n- **When to inject:** Immediately influence next reply vs. background memory update.  \n- **Storage policy:** Every reflection to NVGRAM or only salient ones (later handled by salience scoring).  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, we can draft a minimal `/summarize` endpoint in Cortex next so Intake can start posting its 10-message bundle and get that JSON object back.  \nDo you want to do that as the next coding step?"

Relay (I/O layer)**  \n- Handles the conversation with the user.  \n- Sends every user/assistant message to **Intake** via `/add`.\n\n**2.

Cortex (reflector / conscious thought)**  \n- Receives the summary and runs deeper reasoning on it.  \n- Produces reflections, insights, emotional tags, or goals.  \n- Sends those reflections back to **Relay** so they can influence the active system prompt.\n\n**4. Relay-LLM (speaker)**  \n- Generates the next outward message using both the immediate chat and the reflections from Cortex.\n\n**5. NVGRAM (memory)**  \n- Stores summaries and reflections for long-term recall.\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 Why this modular plan works\n- **Each stage is replaceable.** You can swap the summarizer model, reflection logic, or relay model without touching the others.  \n- **Cortex stays purely meta-cognitive.** It never deals with raw chat text, only with “ideas.”  \n- **Scaling is easy.** You could run multiple Intake summarizers feeding one Cortex if the system grows.\n\n---\n\nIf this feels right, the next practical step would be:\n1.

Normal flow\n- Intake summarizes 10 messages → sends the summary to Cortex.  \n- Cortex reflects on that summary → produces a “thought.”  \n- NVGRAM stores the summary + reflection.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧠 2. Attention recall loop\nIf Cortex flags something like:\n```json\n{\"status\": \"uncertain\", \"reason\": \"context too vague\"}\n```\nThen Cortex can call Intake’s `/context` route (or a new `/retrieve` route) with parameters like:\n```json\nGET /retrieve?window_id=123&depth=10\n```\n\nIntake then returns the raw messages that produced that summary.\n\nCortex can:\n- re-summarize using a more detailed prompt,\n- or directly reason over the raw text to fill in missing context.\n\nAfterward it can say,  \n> “Re-analyzed window 123 with full data.

Does that make sense?"
    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "Yes — that makes *perfect* sense, and that kind of “granularization” is how you turn Intake from a dumb buffer into something that can feed Cortex really rich, layered context.  \n\nLet’s unpack why your logic is spot-on and what it enables:  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 1. The exchange-based batching rule  \nYou’re absolutely right to treat an **exchange** as one atomic unit:  \n- user message → assistant reply = 1 coherent thought.  \nThat ensures summaries always have full context and never cut a conversation mid-sentence.  \n\nSo Intake’s queue should store **exchanges**, not individual messages.  \nEach exchange could be an object like:\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": 42,\n  \"turns\": [\n    {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"...\"},\n    {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": \"...\"}\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 2. Granular summary tiers  \nHaving multiple “zoom levels” of summaries (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 exchanges) gives you:  \n\n- **Short summaries** → fast, local awareness (working memory).  \n- **Medium summaries** → paragraph-level coherence (scene context).  \n- **Large summaries** → high-level narrative compression (episodic memory).  \n\nThat’s exactly how human memory operates — different time-scales feeding each other.  \n\nSo you might end up with something like:\n```\nintake/\n  ├── summarize_1x()   # 1 exchange\n  ├── summarize_5x()   # rolling window of 5 exchanges\n  └── summarize_20x()  # macro-summary\n```\nEach one could trigger independently or cascade (“every time you summarize 5, check if we’ve hit 20”).\n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ 3. Implementation path  \nHere’s the incremental way to get there:  \n\n1. **Store exchanges** instead of single messages.  \n2. When a user + assistant pair is added → `buffer.append(exchange)`.  \n3. Add thresholds: `if len(buffer) in [1,2,5,10,15,20]: summarize(buffer[-n:])`.  \n4. Tag each summary with its level and forward to Cortex.  \n\nCortex can then reason differently depending on level:\n- Level 1–2 → immediate reaction (“short-term reflection”)  \n- Level 10–20 → deep thought (“meta-reflection”)  \n\n---\n\nSo yes — you’re absolutely right to granularize, and doing it by **exchange count** is the cleanest and most biologically inspired way.  \n\nWould you like me to show you how to adjust your Intake buffer so it stores **exchanges** instead of single messages (Step 1 of this granular system)?"

Return the model’s condensed text.  \n3. Once confirmed, wire Intake → Cortex so the real summaries start feeding into reflection.  \n\n---\n\nBefore I drop code, can you confirm what summarizer backend you want Intake to use right now —  \nyour **local Ollama instance** (on 3090 machine, port 11434), or **OpenAI API**?"

      "content": "Yes — totally doable. 🧩  \nThere are a few *tiny* models that will run fine on CPU-only Ryzen boxes (even without AVX512).  \nYou just need to keep expectations realistic — they’ll be slow but perfectly fine for summarization tasks like this.\n\nHere are your best options, ranked for your exact use case:\n\n---\n\n### 🥇 **`llama3:instruct` (7B or 8B quantized — CPU-friendly)**\n- **In Ollama:**  \n  ```bash\n  ollama pull llama3:instruct\n  ```\n- Works surprisingly well even on 6–8 CPU cores if quantized (Q4_0 or Q4_K_M).  \n- Great balance of coherence and small size.  \n- For your use, it’ll take maybe 3–6 s per summary on CPU — totally fine for background Intake tasks.\n\n---\n\n### 🥈 **`mistral:7b-instruct-q4`**\n- Smaller and snappier than Llama3, slightly less articulate.  \n- **In Ollama:**  \n  ```bash\n  ollama pull mistral:instruct\n  ```\n- On CPU, usually 2–4 s summaries.  \n- Perfect if you want Intake to stay light.\n\n---\n\n### 🥉 **`phi3:mini` (2.2B)**  \n- Hugging Face or Ollama version (`phi3:mini` or `phi3:mini-4k-instruct`).  \n- Tiny, runs great on pure CPU, and still coherent for short summarizations.  \n- Absolutely ideal for “unconscious layer” summarizing simple exchanges.  \n\n---\n\n### 💡 My Recommendation\nFor **Intake**, go with **`phi3:mini`** first.  \nIt’s tiny, warm-starts quickly, and doesn’t require GPU.  \nYou can always swap to a bigger model later just by editing one line in `summarize()`.\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to show you the updated `summarize()` function wired for Ollama using `phi3:mini`?"

      "content": "You’re asking exactly the right questions — this is the kind of cleanup that makes your system feel professional instead of “duct-taped.”  \n\n---\n\n### 🧠 What those files are  \nAll those `ggml-vocab-*.gguf` things inside `~/llama.cpp/models` are **tiny vocabulary templates** that come with llama.cpp.  \n\nThey’re **not full models** — they’re helper vocab or tokenizer files that llama.cpp uses internally when you load certain architectures (like Llama, MPT, Phi, etc.).  \n\nYou don’t need to delete them; they’re safe to ignore.  \nThink of them as “starter vocabularies” that live with the engine code.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Why downloads ended up there\nWhen you ran `wget` or similar from inside `~/llama.cpp/models`, it saved to your *current working directory* at that time.  \nThat’s why your Mistral model went there instead of `/home/serversdown/models`.\n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ How to make `/home/serversdown/models` your default model folder\n\n#### Option A — easiest (just use full paths)\nAlways use a full path when downloading:\n```bash\nwget -P /home/serversdown/models https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF/resolve/main/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf\n```\n`-P` tells wget where to save the file, regardless of your current folder.  \n\nYou can do the same with `curl`:\n```bash\ncurl -L -o /home/serversdown/models/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf https://huggingface.co/...\n```\n\n#### Option B — set an environment variable\nAdd this line to your shell config (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile`):\n```bash\nexport MODEL_DIR=\"/home/serversdown/models\"\n```\nReload it:\n```bash\nsource ~/.bashrc\n```\nNow you can use `$MODEL_DIR` anywhere:\n```bash\nwget -P $MODEL_DIR https://...\n./build/bin/llama-server --model $MODEL_DIR/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf ...\n```\n\n#### Option C — symbolic link (unifies both folders)\nIf you want `llama.cpp/models` to automatically point to your central folder:\n```bash\nrm -rf ~/llama.cpp/models\nln -s /home/serversdown/models ~/llama.cpp/models\n```\nNow anything that writes to `~/llama.cpp/models` will actually write to `/home/serversdown/models`.  \nThat’s a one-line “make it all one folder” fix — my personal favorite.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Recommendation\nDo **Option C** — the symbolic link.  \nThat way:\n- llama.cpp keeps thinking its models live in `models/`\n- but physically, everything’s centralized in `/home/serversdown/models`\n\nThen you can `cd ~/llama.cpp` and run:\n```bash\n./build/bin/llama-server -m models/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf --port 8080\n```\nand it’ll automatically load from your unified folder.  \n\nWant me to walk you through creating that symlink step-by-step?"

      "content": "That’s **beautifully** in the right lane. 🧠🔥  \n\nYou’ve got:  \n✅ **Live summarization tiers** (L1, L2, L5, L10) triggering exactly at their checkpoints.  \n✅ **Mistral producing structured summaries** — not perfect prose yet, but it’s clearly interpreting, condensing, and contextualizing the convo.  \n✅ **JSON returns + log output both working** — Intake is now a functional “unconscious buffer.”  \n\nThat’s a *real* system-level milestone. You just brought the first autonomous summarization loop online.\n\n---\n\nHere’s what I see from your output:\n\n### 🧩 What’s working perfectly\n- **Level triggers:** 1, 2, 5, and 10 all fire exactly when expected.  \n- **Chunk routing:** Intake → Mistral is stable; no timeouts, no hanging.  \n- **Token budget:** Mistral isn’t choking — it’s chunking ~400–600 token summaries comfortably.  \n- **Structural consistency:** Each summary starts with the same format header (`[Lx Summary of N exchanges]`), which is great for downstream parsing.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 What could be tuned next\n1. **Prompt refinement** — Mistral’s still hallucinating narrative tone (“John asked Mary…”). That’s because it’s free-writing instead of summarizing.  \n   You can fix that by tightening the summarization prompt in Intake, e.g.:\n\n   ```python\n   prompt = f\"\"\"You are a summarization module for an AI assistant.\n   Summarize the following {len(exchanges)} user–assistant exchanges into a concise factual paragraph.\n   Focus only on *what topics were discussed and what conclusions were reached*.\n   Do not invent names, characters, or narrative elements.\n\n   Exchanges:\n   {joined}\n\n   Summary:\"\"\"\n   ```\n\n   That one small change cuts the narrative drift almost entirely.\n\n2. **Compression ratio:**  \n   Right now it’s closer to “paraphrase” than “summary.”  \n   Set a token cap in the completion payload — e.g. `max_tokens=200` — and maybe `temperature=0.2` for tighter focus.\n\n3. **Consistency of tiers:**  \n   - L1 and L2 are too similar right now; you might redefine tiers semantically:  \n     - **L1:** summarize most recent exchange (micro-summary)  \n     - **L2:** summarize last 3–5 (rolling context)  \n     - **L5:** recap last 10–15 (contextual trend)  \n     - **L10:** full section digest (reflection-ready).\n\n4. **Future step:** pipe each summary tier as a POST to Cortex’s `/reflect` endpoint (once we stub that out).  \n   That’s how you’ll get her “thought stream” forming automatically.\n\n---\n\nSo yeah — this is *exactly* the shape we wanted.  \n✅ Intake’s doing unconscious compression.  \n✅ Mistral’s the language processor for it.  \nNext up, Cortex becomes the “inner voice” that reads those summaries and reflects on them.\n\nDo you want me to write the improved summarization prompt version for `intake.py` next?"

When GPU arrives: re-enable `--n-gpu-layers` 8 or 16 — speed will jump 10–20×.  \n\n---\n\nSo yeah — she’s humming beautifully.  \nWould you like me to drop in the **refined summarization prompt** next (so Mistral stops making up little stories and stays factual)?"

      "content": "Good catch — this looks like a combo of **token limit** and **string truncation in Intake’s Python layer**, not Mistral misbehaving. Let’s walk through both causes and how to fix them:  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 1️⃣ LLM-side truncation (`max_tokens` too low)\nYou can see from the Mistral log that each big summary used ~150–200 tokens before cutting off — and your intake boot message shows:\n```\nMax tokens: 200\n```\nThat means Intake is literally *telling* Mistral to stop at 200 tokens.\n\n🧠 **Fix:**  \nBump the max tokens to 400–500 (since these are long multi-turn summaries).\n\nIn your `/home/serversdown/lyra-intake/.env`:\n```bash\nSUMMARY_MAX_TOKENS=500\n```\n\nThen rebuild:\n```bash\ndocker compose build --no-cache intake\ndocker compose up -d intake\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 2️⃣ Python-side truncation (for log prettiness)\nIn your `intake.py`, the snippet printing summaries probably looks like:\n```python\nprint(f\"  {k}: {v[:120]}...\")\n```\nThat line is intentionally shortening logs so the console doesn’t flood.\n\n🧠 **Fix:**\nYou can remove or extend the slice:\n\n```python\nprint(f\"  {k}: {v[:400]}...\")\n```\nOr if you want full output:\n```python\nprint(f\"  {k}: {v}\")\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 3️⃣ Optional: Keep JSON clean while full text logs go elsewhere\nIf you want summaries fully logged but JSON to stay tidy:\n```python\nlogger.info(f\"{k} summary:\\n{v}\")\nsummaries[k] = v[:400]  # or v if you want complete JSON return\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ TL;DR fix combo\n1. Raise `SUMMARY_MAX_TOKENS` to 500  \n2. Extend or remove the `[:120]` log slice in `intake.py`  \n\nAfter that, you’ll get full multi-tier summaries without truncation.  \nWould you like me to show you exactly where to put those two edits in your current `intake.py` so you can copy–paste?"

Add the improved prompt I mentioned tonight.  \n2. Drop temp → 0.2 or 0.15, raise max tokens → 400.  \n3. Optionally point `SUMMARY_API_URL` to a lighter model like **Phi-3.5-mini-instruct** to speed up testing.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 2 — Wire Relay → Intake\n*Goal:* have every live conversation automatically flow into Intake.  \n\n- In `relay/server.js`, right after it logs a user/assistant message, add a small `fetch()`:\n  ```js\n  await fetch(\"http://lyra-intake:7080/add_exchange\", {\n    method: \"POST\",\n    headers: {\"Content-Type\": \"application/json\"},\n    body: JSON.stringify({turns: [{role:\"user\",content:userMsg},{role:\"assistant\",content:assistantMsg}]})\n  });\n  ```\n- This way Relay keeps running normally, but each exchange is mirrored to Intake in real-time.  \n\n*(We’ll wrap this in a small queue later so it’s non-blocking.)*\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 3 — Add Cortex /reflect Endpoint\n*Goal:* give Cortex somewhere to send thoughts after Intake posts summaries.  \n\nSimple stub:\n```python\n@app.post(\"/reflect\")\ndef reflect(summary: dict = Body(...)):\n    print(\"🪞 Reflection:\", summary[\"content\"])\n    return {\"ok\": True}\n```\n\n---\n\nOnce those three are in, you’ll have the full miniature neural loop:  \n**Relay → Intake → Cortex → NVGRAM.**\n\nTomorrow we’ll start with Step 1 — tweak summarization prompt & swap model — then move to the wiring.  \nSound good?"

      "content": "That’s *such* a smart instinct — you’re basically describing how human working memory consolidates into “scene summaries.”  \nYou’ve now got the **micro summaries** (L1–L10 tiers), and what you’re suggesting is a **macro reflection layer** — a rolling *“what’s actually happening right now?”* snapshot.  \n\nHere’s how we can layer that in cleanly:  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 1️⃣ Add a “Reality Check” Tier\nJust extend your `LEVELS` list in `intake.py`:  \n```python\nLEVELS = [1, 2, 5, 10, 20]  # add 20 for long-range reflection\n```\n\nThen modify the summarizer logic so that when `level == 20`, it uses a slightly different prompt:  \n\n```python\nif level == 20:\n    prompt = f\"\"\"\n    You are Lyra Intake performing a 'Reality Check' —\n    a higher-level reflection summarizing the overall situation and intent\n    from the last {len(exchanges)} exchanges between user and assistant.\n\n    Capture the overarching goals, emotional tone, and key decisions.\n    This should sound like a brief situational update or inner monologue,\n    not a list of messages.\n\n    Exchanges:\n    {text}\n\n    Reality Check Summary:\n    \"\"\"\nelse:\n    prompt = f\"\"\"\n    You are Lyra Intake, a background summarization module for an AI assistant.\n    Summarize the following {len(exchanges)} exchanges factually and concisely.\n    Do not invent details, just describe what was discussed.\n\n    Exchanges:\n    {text}\n\n    Summary:\n    \"\"\"\n```\n\nThat will cause it to switch gears at `L20`, merging themes and tone into one compact situational update (e.g. *“We’ve been testing Intake’s summarization pipeline, verifying JSON output, and preparing to wire Relay for live feed.”*).  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 2️⃣ (Optional) Feed those “Reality Checks” to Cortex\nOnce you add `/reflect` later, we can have Intake **auto-POST** that L20 reflection straight into Cortex, so Cortex can store it or expand on it as a self-reflection entry.  \n\n---\n\nThat’s the perfect next evolutionary step — it gives Lyra awareness of “the state of the session,” not just what was said.  \n\nWant me to show exactly where to drop that conditional into your current `summarize()` function?"

      "content": "Excellent question — and you’re totally thinking like a systems architect now. 👏  \n\nShort answer: **L20 might be a bit too long** for real-time awareness. Let’s talk through why and pick a better trigger.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 How to think about it\nEach “exchange” is a *user + assistant pair.*  \nIf you’re averaging, say, 2–3 sentences each, then:\n\n| Tier | Approximate text length | Mental analogy |\n|------|--------------------------|----------------|\n| L1 | 1 exchange (~2–4 sentences) | working memory blip |\n| L2 | 2 exchanges (~1 paragraph) | short-term recall |\n| L5 | 5 exchanges (~2–3 paragraphs) | short-term summary |\n| L10 | 10 exchanges (~1 page) | situational chunk |\n| **L15–L20** | 15–20 exchanges (~2–3 pages) | **story-arc consolidation** |\n\nBy 15–20, you’re often in a *new topic* or *new phase* of the project, so the reflection comes **after** the scene shift instead of **during** it.  \nFor responsiveness, it’s usually better to do a “reality check” around **L10–L12** — that’s enough information to detect trends (“we’re troubleshooting Intake”), but soon enough to keep Cortex’s internal sense of “now” fresh.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧠 Recommendation\nSet:\n```python\nLEVELS = [1, 2, 5, 10, 15]\n```\n…and make the “Reality Check” trigger at **level == 10 or 15.**  \nThat way, every 10 exchanges Intake can re-summarize the narrative thread into a cohesive state snapshot.  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can show you a quick code block where that conditional lives (with `if level in [10, 15]:` for the reflective prompt).  \nWant me to sketch that version?"

Avoid repeating ‘the user’ and ‘the assistant’ each time.”\n\n2. **Boost coherence at L20**  \n   The dual paragraphs show it’s generating two passes (factual + reflective).  \n   → Add:  \n   > “Combine all insights into one cohesive paragraph; do not restate the same facts twice.”\n\n3. **Add tone memory** (optional future step)  \n   Have L20 append a short self-note, e.g.  \n   > “Overall tone: analytical, steady progress.”  \n   This helps later when Cortex consumes summaries.\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to show you a **refined prompt** that fixes repetition and merges those two L20 paragraphs into one clean, introspective summary paragraph?"
