Her remaining two wishes from the 6-19 sketch:
Proactive reach-out (#6, literal): lyra/notify.py pushes to ntfy so she can reach
Brian when he's not in the app. thoughts.maybe_ping gates on salience, a cooldown,
and local quiet hours (all config-tunable; eager defaults), uses ntfy JSON publish
(UTF-8 titles/messages), links to /thoughts, and marks the thread surfaced so chat
won't also re-raise it. Disabled unless NTFY_URL is set.
External input feed (#1): lyra/feeds.py pulls configurable RSS/Atom feeds (stdlib
ElementTree, no new dep; tolerant of RSS 2.0 + Atom), dedupes seen items in a
feed_items table, and hands think() one fresh item at a time. New 'react' mode:
a would-be new thread instead reacts to a world item (FEED_REACT_PROB). Dream
cycle refreshes feeds on its cadence; failures degrade to no item.
Config: NTFY_URL/NTFY_TOPIC/LYRA_WEB_URL, PING_SALIENCE/COOLDOWN/QUIET_HOURS,
LYRA_TIMEZONE, LYRA_FEEDS, FEED_REACT_PROB (+ .env.example). thought_meta table
for ping cooldown. 10 new tests (feeds parse, react mode, ping gating); suite 65.

Lyra's inner loop for when no one's talking to her. Each pass senses her own
backlog/novelty, lets four drives build from real signals, and acts on those
past threshold:
- continuity -> summarize sessions with new turns
- coherence -> rebuild profile/eras/narrative (stale once new gists land)
- curiosity -> reflect() and evolve the self-state
- stability -> readout of how caught-up she ended up
Drives are rendered into chat context so she can feel them. Causal chain:
consolidation creates gists -> coherence rises -> integration fires next.
- lyra/dream.py: dream_cycle() + lyra-dream CLI (--force, --loop SECONDS)
- memory: backlog_stats(), profile_sessions_covered(), WAL + busy_timeout
so a separate dream process coexists with the web server
- self_state: DEFAULT_DRIVES baseline + drives in render_for_context
- tests/test_dream.py: backlog sensing + a full forced pass (LLM stubbed)
