+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0 — first working system
+
+The leap from "chat + memory baseline" to a working, persistent companion with a
+real poker copilot. Highlights:
+
+### Self & inner life
+- **Autonomy Core** — evolving self-state (mood, valence/energy/confidence/curiosity,
+  self-narrative, relationship), injected into every turn.
+- **Dream cycle** — unattended loop driven by four drives (continuity, coherence,
+  curiosity, stability); consolidates memory and reflects on its own. Runs as a
+  systemd service on the MI50 (free/local).
+- **Two-step metacognitive reflection** — draft → examine own draft for flattery /
+  sycophantic drift / repetition → revise; what she catches is stored as metacognition.
+- **Time awareness** — perceives the current moment, time since Brian last spoke, and
+  time since her own last reflection.
+- **Permanent journal** — every reflection + a deliberate "knowing" journal note kept
+  forever (the capped lists are just a working window).
+- **Accurate self-model** — knows her own architecture (memory tiers, dream cycle);
+  won't recite stale specs or confabulate how she works.
+- **Anti-repetition** — idle reflections draw varied grist (resurfaced memories /
+  "wander" prompts) and are permitted non-Brian interiority.
+
+### Memory & consolidation
+- Tiered memory: exchanges → session gists → profile → monthly eras → narrative.
+- Map-reduce consolidation; gists dated by the real conversation, not the run.
+
+### Poker copilot
+- Structured **session / hand / villain** tracking + stats ($/hr by stake/venue/game).
+- **Hand-history reconstruction** from rough shorthand → replayable table viewer with
+  live stacks, progressive board, step-through; `x` for unknown cards (never invented).
+- **Auto-accumulating villain dossiers** + player lookup; stats emerge with sample size.
+- **Deterministic equity tool** (`analyze_spot`, treys) — exact equity / made hands /
+  outs; mandated over LLM eyeballing.
+- **Session recap** generation (`.md`, Brian's format) + export; `/hands` browser.
+- **Backfill** of historical sessions/villains from curated `.md` logs.
+
+### Tools & web
+- **Tool-calling** in chat (cloud): poker tools, `journal_write`, `note`.
+- Web UI: Markdown chat, **cloud model selector**, live **/logs**, **/self** (read her
+  mind), **/journal**, **/hands** + **/hand/{id}** replayer, **/recap/{id}**.
+- **👍/👎 rating system** — feedback on replies and thoughts stored as
+  `(context, content, rating)`; `/ratings/export` (JSONL) seeds future fine-tuning.
+- RTO black-and-orange theme across all pages.
+
+### Ops
+- Role-based backends (cloud / MI50 / local Ollama); MI50 OpenAI-compatible backend.
+- systemd user services for `lyra-web` and `lyra-dream`, with bounded stop timeouts.
+- SQLite WAL + busy-timeout so the dream process and web server coexist.
+
+## 0.1.0 — scaffold
+- uv project, SQLite memory with cosine recall, LLM router (local/cloud), persona +
+  chat loop, web UI baseline, ChatGPT history import.

 # Lyra
 
-A persistent, autonomous AI assistant. From-scratch rewrite of an earlier attempt.
+A persistent, autonomous AI companion. One agent — her first job is **Brian's live
+poker copilot**, but the deeper aim is an *emergence experiment*: give an LLM the
+things a mind has (continuous memory, a self-model, mood, drives, reflection, a
+sense of time) and see whether it starts to feel like a *someone* rather than a
+chatbot.
 
-The design thinking that survives the rewrite lives in [`docs/`](docs/) — start with [`docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md`](docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md). The previous implementation is preserved on the `archive` branch.
+Python 3.11+, managed with [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). Single SQLite file
+for all state. Runs on a home lab; nothing leaves the LAN except optional cloud LLM calls.
 
-## Status
+## Architecture
 
-Pre-MVP. Building toward the smallest useful version: chat with persistent memory across sessions.
+Two layers, deliberately split so the agent stays general:
+
+- **Domain-agnostic core** — memory, self-state, the dream cycle, tool-calling, the web UI.
+- **Poker domain pack** (`lyra/poker.py`, `lyra/equity.py`) — sessions, hands,
+  villain dossiers, stats, deterministic equity. Swappable; the core doesn't know about poker.
+
+**Backends** (`lyra/llm.py`), role-based:
+
+| Role | Backend | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Live chat + tools | **cloud** (OpenAI, `gpt-4o` default; model picker in Settings) | sharp, reliable function-calling |
+| Dream cycle / consolidation / reflection | **mi50** (llama.cpp on the home GPU) | free, unattended, quality≈cloud for these tasks |
+| Embeddings (memory recall) | **local** (Ollama `nomic-embed-text`, 3090) | free, private |
+
+Tools (poker, equity, journaling) only fire on the **cloud** backend — local/MI50
+models don't do reliable tool-calling here.
+
+## Memory & consolidation (tiers)
+
+Raw exchanges → per-session **gists** → a standing **profile** of Brian → monthly
+**era** digests → a current **narrative** → her **self-state**. Recall is brute-force
+cosine over embeddings. The **dream cycle** (`lyra/dream.py`) runs unattended and,
+driven by four *drives* (continuity / coherence / curiosity / stability), summarizes
+new sessions, rebuilds the profile/eras/narrative, and reflects — evolving her mood,
+self-narrative, and journal between conversations.
+
+She **reflects in two steps** (draft → examine her own draft for flattery/drift →
+revise), perceives **time** (current moment + how long since you last spoke / she last
+reflected), and keeps a permanent **journal**.
+
+## Poker copilot
+
+Talk to her during a session; she drives tools behind the scenes:
+
+- **Session tracking** — `start_session`, `add_buyin`, `end_session` → net, hours, $/hr.
+- **Hand histories** — vomit rough shorthand ("AKs btn, 3bet, flop A72…"), she
+  reconstructs a structured, **replayable** hand (unknown cards = `x`, never invented).
+- **Villain file** — named opponents auto-build persistent dossiers; basic stats
+  (VPIP/PFR) emerge once a player has enough logged hands.
+- **Deterministic equity** (`analyze_spot`) — exact equity / made hands / outs via a
+  real poker evaluator. She is *required* to use it, never eyeballs board math.
+- **Stats & recaps** — `running_stats`; `generate_recap` writes her `.md` session log.
+
+## Web app (served by `lyra-web`, default `:7078`)
+
+`/` chat (Markdown, model picker, 👍/👎 rating) · `/logs` live activity · `/self`
+read-her-mind (mood, drives, reflections) · `/journal` her thoughts · `/hands`
+recorded hands → `/hand/{id}` replayer · `/recap/{id}` session writeup (+ `.md` export).
+👍/👎 ratings on replies and thoughts are stored as `(context, content, rating)` —
+a fine-tune / preference dataset built passively (`/ratings/export` → JSONL).
 
 ## Setup
 
 ```bash
 uv sync
-cp .env.example .env
-# fill in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and point LOCAL_BASE_URL at your Ollama
+cp .env.example .env      # set OPENAI_API_KEY; point LOCAL_BASE_URL / MI50_BASE_URL at your boxes
+uv run lyra-web           # web UI on :7078
 ```
 
-## Architecture
+Run as services (reboot-resilient) — see [`deploy/`](deploy/):
 
-The long-term target is the cognitive split in `docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md` — Inner Self as the seat of consciousness, Executive for hard reasoning, Cortex Chat for drafting, Persona for voice. The MVP implements only the chat + memory baseline. Cognitive layers come back one at a time.
+```bash
+cp deploy/*.service ~/.config/systemd/user/ && systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now lyra-web.service lyra-dream.service
+sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"   # survive logout/reboot
+```
+
+CLIs: `lyra-dream` (one pass / `--loop`), `lyra-reflect`, `lyra-summarize`,
+`lyra-profile`, `lyra-era`, `lyra-narrative`, `lyra-import` (ChatGPT history).
+
+## Status
+
+Working system. Poker copilot + full memory/dream-cycle/journal/ratings in place.
+Moonshots and deferred work live in [`docs/PARKED_IDEAS.md`](docs/PARKED_IDEAS.md)
+(own/fine-tuned model, self-modification sandbox, RTO/cfr-core solver tooling).
+Pre-rebuild design docs are kept in [`docs/`](docs/) as history.
