# Deploy

## Dream cycle (`lyra-dream.service`)

Lyra's unattended inner loop. Runs `lyra-dream --loop 1800` so she consolidates
memory and reflects every 30 min between conversations. Installed as a
**systemd user service** on `lyra-cortex` (10.0.0.41), running as `serversdown`
— no root needed to manage it.

### Install / update

```bash
cp deploy/lyra-dream.service ~/.config/systemd/user/lyra-dream.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now lyra-dream.service
```

### Persist across reboot / logout (one-time, needs sudo)

A user service stops when the user logs out and doesn't start at boot until
login — unless lingering is enabled:

```bash
sudo loginctl enable-linger serversdown
```

### Operate

```bash
systemctl --user status lyra-dream.service      # is she ticking?
journalctl --user -u lyra-dream.service -f       # watch her think (logbus -> stderr)
systemctl --user restart lyra-dream.service      # after a code change
systemctl --user stop lyra-dream.service         # quiet her down
```

Tunables live in `lyra/dream.py` (drive thresholds, curiosity gains) and the
`--loop` interval in the unit's `ExecStart`. The consolidation backend follows
`SUMMARY_BACKEND` in `.env` (cloud gpt-4o-mini for bulk; the MI50 is too slow
for the summarization backfill).
