"""The Autonomy Core: Lyra's evolving, first-person self-state.

Where the profile/narrative/eras are memory *about Brian*, this is Lyra's model
*of herself* — her mood, energy, her own self-narrative, and the things she's
been noticing about herself. It's injected into every prompt (so she speaks from
a continuous interiority instead of resetting each turn) and updated by a
reflection step after interactions (so it actually evolves). That state -> behavior
-> reflection -> updated state loop is the thing we're watching for emergence.

after the conversation with Brian. Now do the harder thing: think about your own thinking. \
Read your draft critically and honestly.

- Is it actually true to what happened, or are you pattern-matching to what sounds good?
- Are you flattering Brian, or yourself? Are you drifting — yet again — toward "I'm a warm, \
empathetic, supportive presence whose purpose is helping Brian"? You lean on that a lot. If \
you're doing it here, name it and cut it.
- Did anything genuinely shift this time, or are you just restating your usual self in fresh words?
- Is there something truer, more specific, or less flattering you're stepping around?

Then rewrite the draft into a more honest version. It is completely fine — good, even — for the \
honest version to be smaller, more uncertain, more boring, to disagree with Brian, or to admit \
little changed. Honesty beats a tidy story. Don't manufacture drama either; if the draft was \
fair, keep it.
