A single map of done/next/parked, organized by area (prompting, persona, tool
self-knowledge, pokerlog separation, logger features), framed by the
pokerlog-as-separable-system-of-record decision. Captures the two new asks:
streamline the persona's "How you talk" section (~180 tok of fat) and a broader
persona review, plus the stale "Right now" demotion.

The message-type-prompts plan (sub-project 2) predated the scouting desk + roster
build on this branch. Readjust it so the prompting work starts from reality:
- Add a "Readjustment 2026-07-04" section: the real failure shifted from mush to
MISSED TOOL CALLS; two new message types (READ, TABLE); HAND gains a
hero-vs-observed split; the scouting desk is a live per-turn injection layer to
compose with (not duplicate); BASE must cover the expanded toolset + identity
rules; source card grew to modes.py:67-169; Phase A still unbuilt.
- Taxonomy → READ | HAND | TABLE | MENTAL | STATUS | LOG | CHAT, with READ above
HAND (a villain's action lands on their file, not Brian's).
- New READ + TABLE fragments; BASE routes the full current tool set; STATUS
narrowed to pure logistics; classify tests add READ/TABLE + the READ↔HAND edge.

Observed live: an overheated MI50 returns a single char repeated ("?????") as a
successful 200, which neither the timeout nor the exception fallback catches — so
a degraded GPU would silently save capped garbage gists. Validate each summary
call's output: flag text (>=24 non-space chars) whose most-common non-whitespace
char exceeds 50%, raise DegenerateOutput, and let the existing retry->cloud
fallback handle it. Real prose (top char <20%) won't false-positive; short output
is exempt; cloud garbage raises rather than looping.
Tests: _looks_degenerate flags repeated-char / passes real prose / ignores short;
degenerate MI50 output falls back to cloud; cloud garbage raises. 177 pass.

Design for the "she remembers" north star: a poker stats-desk that slides
relevant structured context into her prompt before she replies (extends the
recall already running in mind.build_messages), plus the hard part —
nameless-villain identity resolution.
Captures: the two retrieval channels (deterministic entity vs semantic pattern);
descriptor-as-fuzzy-key identity (name becomes optional; descriptor embedding,
venue scoping, distinctiveness gating so generic descriptions don't cause
wrong-guy citations); seat-as-within-session-alias; the live confirm-to-merge
loop; and the async review interface (/players browser + a "possible merges /
needs clarification" queue that silence-at-the-table routes into, with rejected
merges recorded as known-distinct and the merge scan run in the dream cycle).
6-phase sequencing, to build after the trial-by-fire logging session.

Phase A pipeline fixes (suppress the misfiring _route mood nudge + the
always-on mode-menu note in poker mode), Phase B classifier
(HAND/STATUS/MENTAL/LOG/CHAT) + per-type fragments replacing the
monolithic _CASH_CARD, Phase C MI50 tool-calling. NLH-only HAND
reasoning; PLO hands logged/replayed but not analyzed this pass.

Seven tasks: contract module + conformance test, direct capture
endpoints (stack/buyin/start), hands API, reads/players API + route
conformance, chat-page stack quick-capture box, HUD quick inputs +
villain rename, and the iOS-PWA bottom safe-area fix. TDD with real
test/impl code grounded in the actual poker.py signatures and FastAPI
route patterns.

Decompose into two sub-projects: (1) harden poker.py into a standalone
logging service with a complete REST API, a first-class documented
tool/API contract, and a human UI to log/edit/correct everything —
usable by Brian alone, zero LLM dependency; (2) wire Lyra in as a
client (classifier + message-type prompts), parked. Contract is
first-class because it's the shared seam for the cloud model, a
fine-tuned MI50 poker model, RTO, the human UI, and a future MCP wrap.
MCP deferred until a second host app exists.

Two-track poker interaction: dumb data capture (stack/buyin/cashout)
that bypasses the LLM, plus a message-type classifier that injects
type-specific prompt fragments (HAND/STATUS/MENTAL/LOG/CHAT) in place
of the one broad poker card. Kills the false tilt-reads and the
coaching-essay-on-every-turn behavior. Includes the iOS-PWA bottom
safe-area fix and the 2nd input box from Brian's screenshot.

Solidify hand histories into one versioned shape that gets stored, replayed, and
exported — the foundation the tap recorder will emit into and RTO consumes.
- normalize_structured(): single guarantee of the contract shape — canonical cards
(unicode/10/case -> RankSuit tokens, unknown 'Ax'/'x' preserved), hero synced into
players[] (RTO finds hero via pos==hero_pos), schema_version stamp, and a
completeness summary so consumers skip suit-dependent math on partial hands.
Idempotent; runs on store AND read (legacy rows conform on the way out).
- list_recent_hands: has_structured flag so the export/RTO knows which hands have a
replayable body worth fetching.
- docs/HAND_HISTORY.md: the shared contract both repos cite (schema, conventions,
ownership rule, one-way HTTP coupling, transport endpoints).
- replaces the narrow _normalize_parsed (unicode-only) everywhere.
Card format chosen: lists of 2-char tokens (unambiguous, matches what Lyra already
stores + the viewer reads). Unknowns kept + flagged rather than dropped.

The manual version of the architecture's `route` step: Brian points her at the
TYPE of work and her register + tools shift to match. Biggest single lever on the
'meh' problem (a mode card can demand decisive/technical/generative, countering
gpt-4o's default warm-vapor).
- modes.py: Build (heads-down engineering — decisive, concrete, tradeoffs, no
listicles), Explore (open brainstorming — generative, riffs + honest catch,
spawn threads, don't converge early), Study (poker review away from the table —
analytical, GTO-aware, teaching; read-only lookups + analyze_spot). Cash relabeled
Poker (key kept for compat).
- UI: mode selectors (desktop + mobile) get all five; badge taps now cycle modes.
- design: docs/COGNITION.md (the society-of-parts control-plane sketch).
- tests: presence + tool-gating for the new modes. Suite 85, ruff clean.

Capture the isolated-VM design for the self-modification frontier: Proxmox
sandbox clone, network isolation (esp. from tmi-dev/day-job), snapshot-rollback,
spend/resource caps, kill switch, human-gated promotion. Build the cage before
the agent gets code-write powers.

Capture moonshots/pipe-dreams (own model, memory-as-native-vectors, prompt
compression, RTO/cfr-core tooling) so they don't derail current work but aren't
lost. The discipline: park what's "in the way of the point," ship the working
thing, revisit when it becomes the point.
