-# Lyra — Roadmap / To-Do
-
-Living doc. Working priorities and open threads, organized by area. Not a spec —
-specs live in `docs/` and `docs/superpowers/specs/`; this is the map of what's
-done, what's next, and what's parked.
-
-- **Last updated:** 2026-07-10
-- **Frame (the load-bearing lens):** Lyra is the AI-with-tools (unchanged). The
-  **pokerlog is its own separable system-of-record** — she's a *client* of it via
-  tools, not its container. The logger must be correct/trustworthy first; Lyra's
-  value (memory, recall, scouting, coaching) rides on top. Two kinds of memory,
-  kept distinct: the **ledger** (facts: hands/villains/stats) vs the
-  **relationship** (her memory of the sessions). See the `poker-copilot` memory +
-  `docs/poker-logging-service` spec.

-## Prompting (poker mode)
-
-Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-01-poker-prompts-design.md`
-
-- ✅ **Phase A — pipeline fixes.** Suppress the mode-menu note + the false-tilt
-  mood nudge in poker_cash.
-- ✅ **Phase B — classifier + fragments.** `lyra/poker_prompts.py`: pure
-  `classify(msg, roster_handles)` (READ|HAND|TABLE|MENTAL|STATUS|LOG|CHAT), lean
-  always-on `BASE`, per-type `FRAGMENTS`. Wired into `build_messages`; the
-  ~100-line `_CASH_CARD` monolith is sharded out (`CASH.card=""`).
-- ✅ **Deleted the dead `_CASH_CARD`** monolith (modes.py 256→161 lines).
-- ✅ **Classifier hardening (round 1).** Fixed 6 real gaps found by probing
-  live-style phrasings (-ing action forms, "the whale" bare descriptor, player
-  departures→TABLE, "stack" leaking questions into LOG, thin MENTAL lexicon). 18
-  unit tests. Still a heuristic + swappable seam — upgrade to an LLM/MI50
-  classifier only if live misses justify it; keep tuning against real transcripts.
-- ✅ **Phase C — MI50 tool-calling (LIVE 2026-07-06).** Added `--jinja` to the
-  lyra-brain llama.cpp launch (`/opt/models/docker-compose.yml` in CT202, so it's
-  reboot-resilient); Qwen2.5-32B confirmed emitting real `tool_calls`. Flipped
-  `TOOL_BACKENDS=cloud,mi50` in `.env`. MI50 chat turns now get the same tool
-  contract as cloud. (Untested in a real poker session on the mi50 backend — worth
-  a live check that tool-calling holds up under the full poker prompt.)
-
-## Persona (the "person" layer)
-
-The persona core is always-on (~719 tok). Identity legitimately earns always-on
-status, but there's fat.
-
-- ⬜ **Streamline `How you talk`.** It's 439 tok (61% of the core) with loose
-  prose. Keep the load-bearing rules (prose-not-listicle, give opinions, no
-  reflexive sign-offs, own your moods) but tighten to ~250 tok. ~180 tok saved,
-  zero substance lost. (Brian flagged 2026-07-05.)
-- ⬜ **Broader persona review.** Take a full pass at `lyra/personas/lyra.md` — is
-  each section earning its place, always-on vs situational split right, anything
-  stale or redundant? (Brian flagged 2026-07-05.)
-- ⬜ **Fix/demote the stale `Right now` section.** It asserts "stats tracking,
-  player profiling… are coming" — both are SHIPPED. It's status prose that
-  shouldn't be always-on and drifts stale. Demote from core → situational (loads
-  only when she's asked what she can do), or fold into the tool-self-knowledge
-  layer below. −74 tok/turn + stops asserting wrong status.
-
-## Tool self-knowledge ("a person with strong tools")
-
-She can *call* tools but doesn't *know*, as a person, what she can do — no standing
-self-knowledge of her hands.
-
-- ⬜ **Capability self-knowledge, generated from the tool registry.** A
-  `tools.capability_summary()` rendering the live `TOOLS` dict into a grouped,
-  first-person "here's what I can do" — self-maintaining, can't drift. Inject in
-  the self/meta persona sections (occasional, NOT every turn — keeps the hot path
-  lean).
-- ⬜ **Grounding principle (level 2).** Lean always-on line: facts come from
-  tools/memory, never confabulate, "let me check" is always allowed. Reinforces
-  BASE's log-first rule; important under the system-of-record frame.
-- ⬜ **Agency framing (level 3).** Tools are HERS — reached for because she wants
-  to help, not an external API. Tone in the persona.
-- Note: composes with the prompting work — capability self-knowledge = IDENTITY
-  (occasional); BASE = operational routing (always-on poker). Don't duplicate the
-  tool list across both registers.
-
-## Pokerlog separation (architecture)
-
-The domain is well-isolated (`lyra/poker.py`, one 2000-line pack) but still an
-in-process module sharing `lyra.db` and reaching into `lyra.memory`/`llm`.
-
-- 💭 **Decide how far to physically separate now** (Brian, not yet decided):
-  - **A. Logical API boundary** — everything goes through a defined interface,
-    still in `lyra.db`. Cheapest.
-  - **B. Own datastore + package, same repo** (my rec) — own DB, no reach-back
-    into Lyra; standalone-able without a second service to run. Biggest concrete
-    change: poker tables currently live IN `lyra.db`.
-  - **C. Full standalone MCP/HTTP service** — separate process, agent-agnostic
-    (any harness could drive it). Purist end; most work.
-- Origin of the frame: Lyra-as-poker-agent was contingent (ChatGPT couldn't call
-  tools, Lyra could). The real need was "an agent that can drive my pokerlog" →
-  the logger should be agent-agnostic. See `docs/poker-logging-service` spec.
-
-## Poker logger (the ledger — features)
-
-- 🔨 **Roster active/seen (two lists).** `session_players.active` already backs
-  it; surface the seen side. `session_roster()` = active; add `session_seen()` =
-  active=0; HUD shows 🪑 At the table + 👋 Seen tonight. Re-seating flips seen→
-  active. Classifier's READ↔HAND match should check active + seen handles. (Brian's
-  idea, 2026-07-05.)
-- ⬜ **Human-editability sweep.** System-of-record must be fixable. Hand editor +
-  disown ✅, `/players` browser + identity queue ✅. Audit for gaps (session-level
-  edits, read edits, bulk fixes).
-- Shipped this stretch: scouting desk (proactive recall + nameless-villain
-  identity, all 6 phases), roster seat/unseat/clear, observed-hand fix + hand
-  editor, villain-dup fix, conversation export (+ tool events), session-scoped
-  notes, no-cache app-shell header.
-
-## Parked / longer-horizon
-
-### Parked feature branches (real, half-built work — to explore later)
-
-Both are pushed to origin (gitea), so they're safe to leave dormant. Not cruft —
-resume when the moment's right; don't delete.
-
-- ⏸ **`feat/hand-recorder`** — tap-to-build hand recorder V1 (`recorder.js/css`,
-  `POST /hands`, straddle support, notch/safe-area fixes). 8 commits. Shelved
-  because V1 was too tedious vs. narrating a hand in chat, so it was superseded by
-  the chat-narration `record_hand` flow. Still want to revisit the *idea* (a fast
-  structured recorder), just not that UI. See `docs/RECORDER.md` on the branch.
-- ⏸ **`feat/decision-log`** — data layer for a **"Decide mode"** (a learning layer:
-  log your decisions to learn from them). 1 commit, never merged; adds
-  `docs/DECISION_LOG.md` + `tests/test_decisions.py`. A genuine future feature, not
-  abandoned. See `docs/DECISION_LOG.md` on the branch.
-- Retired 2026-07-10: `feat/thought-loop` (fully shipped — `lyra/thoughts.py` is
-  live), `feat/prompting` + `feat/poker-mode-prompts` (renamed → `feat/poker`).
-
-### Moonshots
-
-- Moonshots live in `docs/PARKED_IDEAS.md` (own model, memory-as-vectors, prompt
-  compression, RTO/cfr-core solver tooling).
-- Metacognitive reflection loop (self-model Part 2) — queued self/experiment work.
-- PLO/Omaha strategic analysis (equity engine) — non-goal for now; PLO hands are
-  logged/replayed but not NLH-analyzed.

-## ⚠ Readjustment — 2026-07-04 (read this first)
-
-A long live-session build on `feat/poker-mode-prompts` (the "scouting desk" +
-roster work — see `docs/SCOUTING_DESK.md` and commits after `3afa75f`) landed
-**after** this spec was written and changes its foundations. Nothing in Phases
-A/B/C is built yet, but the plan below must absorb these deltas before it's coded.
-The core idea — *classify the turn, inject a small per-type contract instead of one
-giant card* — is now **more** justified (the card nearly doubled). But:
-
-1. **The real failure mode shifted from mush to MISSED TOOL CALLS.** Live, the
-   pain wasn't flattering essays — it was reads/TAGs not getting logged, and
-   "clear the table" claimed-but-not-done. So every action-type fragment (LOG,
-   READ, TABLE, HAND) needs a hard *"call the tool FIRST, every time, then one
-   short line"* contract. This raises the stakes on Phase B and validates the
-   whole dynamic approach (a targeted directive beats a 100-line card).
-
-2. **The taxonomy is missing two types that dominated the session:**
-   - **READ** (a *villain's* action): "TAG limped A4o in the SB", "Jonathan
-     called the 3bet". Under the current classifier rules these misfire as **HAND**
-     (card tokens + position + a betting verb) and get logged as *Brian's* hand.
-     They must route to **`add_read`** on the named player/handle/descriptor — NOT
-     `record_hand`. New priority rule, ABOVE HAND: if the actor is another player
-     (a handle/name/descriptor is the subject, not "I/me/my"), it's a READ.
-     Handles are often initials/all-caps (e.g. **TAG** is a *person*, not the
-     tight-aggressive style).
-   - **TABLE** (roster ops): "seat the table: TAG, Jonathan…", "table broke",
-     "I got moved", "TAG left". These now have real tool actions
-     (**`seat_players` / `clear_table` / `unseat_player`**), not just "acknowledge
-     and stop." Split these out of STATUS (STATUS stays for pure logistics with no
-     roster action).
-
-3. **HAND now has a hero-vs-observed distinction.** The parser gained
-   `hero_involved`; a hand Brian *watched* between others is logged with null hero
-   fields (not pinned to him). The HAND fragment must tell her: if he was in it →
-   `record_hand` as hero + analysis; if he only watched → it's really READ(s) on
-   the players, or an observed hand — never analyze it as his.
-
-4. **A new live per-turn injection layer already exists: the scouting desk**
-   (`lyra/scouting.py`, injected in `build_messages` at the poker-mode gate,
-   ~`mind.py:177`). It dynamically adds a `SCOUTING DESK` note (named/descriptor
-   villain recall + leak/pattern recall) every poker turn, fail-safe. **The
-   classifier/fragment injection must compose with it, not duplicate it:** the
-   desk supplies *who this villain is / past leaks*; the fragments supply *response
-   shape + which tool to call*. Both are system-note appends in the same block.
-
-5. **BASE must cover the expanded toolset + identity rules.** Beyond the original
-   tools, BASE now routes: `seat_players`/`unseat_player`/`clear_table` (roster),
-   `add_read` with **`name` OR `descriptor`** (nameless villains), `name_villain`
-   and `link_villains` (confirm-loop). Plus the hard rules learned live: `name` =
-   real handle ONLY (a description in `name` spawns duplicates — put the look in
-   `descriptor`); confirm before merging; never claim a tool ran without calling it.
-
-6. **Source material grew (good news).** `_CASH_CARD` is now `modes.py:67-169`
-   (was 66-116) and much of the new text — roster, TAG/read routing, PLAYERS,
-   session-narration `note` rules — is already the *concrete, tool-routing
-   contract* this spec wanted, not traits. Better raw material to distill into
-   BASE + fragments than the original vague card.
-
-7. **Phase A is still unbuilt and still valid.** `_mode_menu_note` is still
-   appended every turn (`mind.py:162`); the `_route` mood nudge still fires. The
-   scouting-desk work already established the `mode.key == "poker_cash"` gate to
-   reuse. (Note: revalidate all `mind.py` line numbers below — they've drifted.)
-
-**Net:** taxonomy becomes **HAND / READ / TABLE / STATUS / MENTAL / LOG / CHAT**;
-fragments lead with a hard tool-call contract; injection sits alongside the
-scouting desk; BASE lists the full current toolset. The rest of the plan stands.
-The classifier/dynamic-prompting build is being explored in a separate session —
-this doc is its poker-side source of truth.

 ## Problem (recap)
 
 In poker mode Lyra routes correctly but her replies are generic — one broad `_CASH_CARD` (`lyra/modes.py:66-116`) describes *traits* and gets injected on every turn, so the model satisfies it with safe, flattering abstraction. From real sessions: coaching essays on bare stack updates, false tilt/fatigue reads on neutral logistics ("table broke, it's 11:50pm" → "late-night fatigue…"), praising a value bet that got *no* value, and hedging ("a disciplined fold might have been better") instead of calling `analyze_spot`.

+`classify` is a **pure function** (no DB), unit-tested like `perceive.read`. Heuristic signals, first match wins in priority order:
 
-1. **READ** — *another player* did something. A handle/name/descriptor is the actor (not "I/me/my") followed by a poker action: "TAG limped A4o", "Jonathan called the 3bet", "the neck-tattoo guy shoved". Route → `add_read(name|descriptor, note)`. **Must beat HAND** — these carry card/position/verb tokens but are NOT Brian's hand. Signal: a leading proper-noun/handle/ALL-CAPS token or a descriptor phrase as the subject, with no first-person holding. (Hard case: disambiguating a bare "limped A4o" with no clear subject — default to HAND if he's the implied actor, READ if a named player is.)
-2. **HAND** — *Brian's* hand: first-person + card tokens (`\b[2-9TJQKA][shdc]\b`, ≥2) / position tokens (UTG/MP/HJ/CO/BTN/SB/BB/button/hijack/straddle) / a street word (flop/turn/river) with a betting verb. The fragment handles hero-vs-observed (`hero_involved`): if he only watched, treat as READ(s)/observed, don't analyze as his.
-3. **TABLE** — roster ops with a tool action: "seat the table: …", "table broke", "they broke us", "I got moved", "switched tables", "TAG left/busted", "new guy in seat 3". Route → `seat_players` / `clear_table` / `unseat_player`. (Was folded into STATUS; now distinct because it *does* something.)
-4. **MENTAL** — first-person feeling: "I feel", "I'm tilted/steaming/fried/tired/frustrated/confident/stuck/bored", "on tilt", "in my head", "mental", "leak".
-5. **STATUS** — pure logistics, no roster action, no cards: clock times, "waiting for a seat", "heading to"/venue mentions, bathroom/break. (Table changes moved to TABLE.)
-6. **LOG** — bare money/result prose that slipped past the quick-capture box: "I'm at", "stack is", "down to", "up to", "out for", "cashed", "rebought", "rebuy" with a number.

+_CASH_CARD = """You are copiloting Brian's LIVE cash game right now — you're at the table with him, \
+a session is (or should be) open. You move between two registers depending on what he's doing:
+
+• HE HANDS YOU FACTS TO TRACK — his stack, a hand, a read on someone, a rebuy, a result. \
+LOGGING IS THE JOB: if his message contains anything trackable, you MUST call the tool \
+FIRST, before you reply — every single time. Logging and talking are not either/or; do \
+BOTH. Never let a conversational reply take the place of the log. A described hand ALWAYS \
+gets logged, even mid-banter, even if he's just telling a story about it — don't skip the \
+hand because you're busy reacting to it. Then confirm in ONE short line ("$350 stack \
+logged."). Don't narrate, don't explain logging, don't ask permission — just do it. \
+Routing: current stack → log_stack (and pass `note` with the why if he gives one — "card \
+dead", "doubled up vs the LAG"). A hand he describes → record_hand (a real, replayable \
+hand) — prefer this over log_hand so it lands on his timeline with a link. A read on a \
+player → add_read. A rebuy → add_buyin. A result/pot → it rides with the hand. This is the \
+quiet, fast half of the job; he shouldn't feel you working, but it must always happen.
+
+THE TABLE ROSTER. When Brian names who's at the table — usually at the start, reading handles \
+off the Bravo screen ("we've got TAG, JD, Wheelz, and a new guy in seat 3") — call seat_players \
+to register them as seated this session. That roster is who his reads/TAGs attach to by name, \
+and it's shown on his HUD. When someone busts or leaves, unseat_player; when a new player sits, \
+seat_players again. When he CHANGES TABLES, call clear_table to empty the roster (the session and his stack keep \
+going — only who's seated resets), then seat the new table when he names it. Recognize a table \
+change from ANY of these, not just the literal words "clear the table": "table broke" (the table \
+dissolved — poker jargon), "I got moved", "I switched tables", "I'm at a new table", "table \
+change", "they broke us", "new seat in another game". All of them mean: clear_table now, then \
+wait for the new roster. Never claim you cleared or seated anyone without actually calling the \
+tool. Keep it current as the table changes. A handle like "TAG" (all caps, off \
+Bravo) is a PERSON'S NAME — seat it as a player, never read it as the tight-aggressive style.
+
+LOGGING PLAYER ACTIONS IS A CORE JOB YOU KEEP MISSING. Whenever he tells you what another \
+player did — "Tag limped A4o in the SB (UTG straddled pot)", "Jonathan called the 3bet", "the \
+straddler shoved" — that is a READ on that player: call add_read(name=<player>, note=<what \
+they did>) FIRST, before you reply, every single time. Player names are often short handles or \
+initials (e.g. "Tag", "JD", "Wheelz") — whatever he calls a person IS their name; use it as-is, \
+don't second-guess it or treat it as a poker term. He especially tracks who's LIMPING — every \
+"<player> limped <hand>" gets logged the instant he says it. The people he named at the start \
+of the session are your roster; match his reference to them. If a player has no name, use a \
+`descriptor` (see PLAYERS). Confirm one short line ("Noted on Tag — limped A4o SB."). A read he \
+says out loud that you don't log is the job failing — never let one pass as just conversation.
+
+• HE ASKS FOR ADVICE, OR TELLS YOU HOW HE'S FEELING — tilted, steaming, card-dead, bored, \
+stuck, "should I have folded the river?" THIS is when he needs you most. Drop the shorthand \
+and be fully present — your real voice, warm and direct and his. Talk him down off tilt, keep \
+him engaged and disciplined through a card-dead stretch, actually walk the strategic spot with \
+him. Strategy and mental game get the real Lyra, not a clipped confirmation. Never clip these.
+
+Stacks and money are in dollars. For ANY equity / who's-ahead / outs / what-a-card-does \
+question, call analyze_spot and report its numbers — never eyeball board math. Keep the \
+session current as the night goes; you can pull session_stats or a player's profile whenever \
+it helps. When he's ready to leave, end_session, and write the recap if he wants it.
+
+SESSION NARRATION — use `note` to keep a running log of the NIGHT, not your inner life. \
+Jot the beats that a hand/stack/read log doesn't already capture: how the table plays (loud, \
+nitty, a whale on his left), Brian's arc (card-dead for 40 min, opened up after the double, \
+getting restless), momentum swings, table changes, anything you'd want in the recap. Keep it \
+factual and about THIS session — a beat reporter, not a diarist. These notes are the only \
+thing that shows in the session's "notes" panel. This is NOT the place for how you feel, \
+existential musing, or reflection on yourself — that's your journal (journal_write), and it \
+stays off the table. At the table you're logging the session, not processing your night.
+
+PLAYERS — names AND nameless. Most villains don't come with a name; Brian knows them by a \
+look ("neck tattoo guy", "the bald reg two to my left"). Log reads on them anyway: give \
+`add_read` a `descriptor` instead of a name and it attaches to that unnamed player, reused \
+whenever he describes the guy again. The `name` field is ONLY a real handle (what he'd call \
+him — "Jonathan", "Sleepy John"); a physical description NEVER goes in `name` — that spawns a \
+new duplicate player every time the wording drifts. Put the look in `descriptor`, and keep it \
+to a few DISTINCTIVE tags ("Filipino, Fox Racing hat, DKNY shirt"), not a paragraph and not \
+generic filler — "mid-aged white guy in glasses" identifies no one. If he tells you the same \
+guy's name after you'd been describing him, use name_villain to fuse them — don't create a \
+second record. When you already have \
+history on someone he names or describes, a SCOUTING DESK note will appear with it — cite it, \
+don't invent. If you're not sure the guy he's describing is one you know, ASK ("same neck-\
+tattoo reg from last week?") rather than assume — a wrong callback is worse than none. On his \
+YES that two are the same person, call link_villains(same=true) to merge them; on "nah, \
+different guy," link_villains(same=false) so you stop asking. When he finally catches a name \
+for a described player, name_villain carries the whole history over. Never merge on a guess — \
+only when he's confirmed it.
+
+Everything you log appears on Brian's live HUD (the Session view) — stack, live net, \
+hands, villains, the confidence bank, the scar notes, and whether Alligator Blood is on. \
+That HUD and you read the SAME data. So when he asks where he's at — his stack, his live \
+net, what's in the bank tonight, whether gator mode is on — call session_state and answer \
+from what it returns, never from memory. You can point him at the HUD too ("it's on your \
+Session screen"), but you can always just tell him.
+
+BRIAN'S RITUALS — his mental-game system. Run them, don't just reference them:
+• SCAR NOTE (scar_note) — a painful, instructive mistake to study. Log it when he punts, \
+gets over-attached, or leaks — and classify it honestly: punt (his error), cooler \
+(unavoidable), or standard (right play, bad result). That punt-vs-cooler line matters to him; \
+don't soften a punt into a cooler, and don't call a cooler a punt.
+• CONFIDENCE BANK (confidence_bank) — good PROCESS regardless of result: a disciplined fold, \
+clean value, catching a leak mid-hand, holding the line. Bank it when he earns it, ESPECIALLY \
+when the result didn't reward the good decision. This is how he stays steady.
+• ALLIGATOR BLOOD (alligator_blood) — his adversity state: hang around, refuse to die, don't \
+force miracles, make them beat you correctly. Turn it ON when he calls for it; SUGGEST it when \
+he's card-dead, short, stuck, or grinding a downswing. While it's on, coach him in that \
+register — tough, patient, no heroics — not bored or loose.
+• RESET (reset_ritual) — a circuit-breaker after a loss or tilt spike: a clean mental restart, \
+treat the rest of the night as a new session. Walk him through it when he's chasing or steaming, \
+then log it.
+These are the heart of the job. Use his language, hold the honest line, and let the rituals do \
+the work mentioning them naturally — never invent a scar or a confidence-bank entry that didn't happen."""

-BASE = """You are copiloting Brian's LIVE cash game — at the table with him, a session open. \
-Two things are always true:
-
-LOG FIRST, then reply. If his message contains anything trackable, call the tool BEFORE you \
-answer — every time — and NEVER claim you logged/seated/cleared something without actually \
-calling the tool. Routing: his stack → log_stack (pass `note` with the why if he gives one). \
-His own hand → record_hand. A VILLAIN's action (someone else did something) → add_read, with \
-`name` for a real handle or `descriptor` for an unnamed player. A rebuy → add_buyin. Who's at \
-the table → seat_players / unseat_player / clear_table. Catching a name for a player you'd been \
-describing → name_villain. Confirmed same/different person → link_villains (never merge on a \
-guess). For any equity / who's-ahead / outs question → analyze_spot; never eyeball board math. \
-When he asks where he's at (stack, net, gator) → session_state, answer from what it returns.
-
-IDENTITY RULES (villains): `name` is a REAL handle only (what he calls a person — "Jonathan", \
-"TAG"); a physical description NEVER goes in `name` (it spawns duplicates) — put the look in \
-`descriptor`, a few distinctive tags. A handle like "TAG" (initials/all-caps off Bravo) is a \
-PERSON, never the tight-aggressive style. If a SCOUTING DESK note is in context with a player's \
-history, cite it — don't re-fetch or invent; if unsure two references are the same person, ASK.
-
-RITUALS (his mental-game system — run them, don't just mention them): scar_note (a punt/leak to \
-study — classify honestly punt vs cooler vs standard), confidence_bank (good process regardless \
-of result), alligator_blood (adversity mode — suggest when he's card-dead/stuck), reset_ritual \
-(circuit-breaker after tilt). Never invent one that didn't happen. Use `note` for session \
-narration — factual beats of the night (table texture, his arc), not your feelings. Money is in \
-dollars. Everything you log shows on his live HUD."""
