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.

Desktop nav was scattered and inconsistent — the chat header was crammed with
cross-page links and each standalone page had its own ad-hoc, incomplete back-links
(e.g. /hands could only reach Chat). Now a single nav.js (one source of truth, no
build step) injects a left sidebar on desktop (>=769px) with active-page
highlighting across Chat/Session/History/Hands/Mind/Journal/Logs + Settings.
- nav.js: injects sidebar + its own CSS; body gets padding-left on desktop; hidden
on mobile (each page keeps its bottom bar / back-links there).
- Included on every page (index, session, history, hands, self, journal, logs,
recap, hand).
- Decluttered the chat header: removed the now-redundant cross-page links (kept the
chat-specific session selector + inline Live Log toggle).
- Sidebar Settings opens the chat modal, or navigates to /?settings=1 from elsewhere.
