She was logging stacks but skipping hands — the CASH card framed logging as one of
two registers, so she'd 'talk about' a hand instead of recording it (streaming
returns content OR tool calls). Fixes:
- CASH card: logging is mandatory and log-FIRST — trackable facts get the tool call
before the reply, both not either/or, hands never skipped for conversation.
- log_stack gains a note ('card dead', 'doubled up vs the LAG') -> timeline context;
tool spec + handler updated. Migration adds poker_stack_log.note.
- poker.timeline(): interleaves session start, stack updates (+context), hands
(linkable), reads, and rituals chronologically in local time (clock.short()).
Added to the hud() bundle.
- Session HUD: a 📜 Timeline card renders the running log with hand links — the
'10:19pm start … 1:34a doubled up, $750 (hand)' view Brian wanted.

clock.stamp() (injected into her chat prompt via _now_note, and into reflection)
rendered UTC and ignored the configured timezone, so 'what time is it' answered in
UTC — hours off from his actual time, reading as 'she doesn't know the time'. Now
converts to config.timezone (America/New_York -> EDT/EST), UTC fallback if the zone
can't load. Storage stays UTC; this only changes what she reads.

Built from her own 6-19 idea: a continuing train of thought she keeps across
days, organized into threads she returns to, that she can bring TO Brian and
that his feedback advances or closes. Where the dream cycle's reflect() gives
isolated, overwriting reflections, the thought loop adds continuity (threads),
surfacing (#6 — she leads with a thought when Brian returns after a gap), and a
feedback loop (his reply folds in next pass).
- lyra/thoughts.py: thought_threads + thoughts tables; think() with
new/continue/respond modes; salience-gated maybe_surface(); record_response()
feedback; lazy-schema _c() mirroring poker.
- dream.py: curiosity stage advances the loop after reflecting (error-isolated).
- chat.py: build_messages surfaces the top thread after a >=90min gap, once.
- web: /thoughts feed (page + data + respond + status routes), thoughts.html,
nav 💭 entry. lyra-think entry point. Every thought also lands in her journal.
- clock.gap_seconds(); tests/test_thoughts.py (8 tests). Full suite 58 passing.

She had no clock: current date/time and the gap since Brian last spoke were
invisible between turns, and reflection was timeless. Now:
- lyra/clock.py: wall-clock stamp + coarse human gaps ("3 days")
- chat: inject a 'now' note (date/time + gap since last turn) after her
self-state — when she is, before the world
- reflect(): feed current time + silence gap into reflection, neutrally —
prompt invites her to weigh elapsed time "to whatever degree it genuinely
affects you" (no prescribed feeling; whether silence means anything is left
to emerge)
- memory.last_exchange_at(): timestamp of the most recent exchange
