serversdown 4f40e2d57e feat: dream cycle — drives-driven unattended consolidation + reflection
Lyra's inner loop for when no one's talking to her. Each pass senses her own
backlog/novelty, lets four drives build from real signals, and acts on those
past threshold:
- continuity -> summarize sessions with new turns
- coherence  -> rebuild profile/eras/narrative (stale once new gists land)
- curiosity  -> reflect() and evolve the self-state
- stability  -> readout of how caught-up she ended up

Drives are rendered into chat context so she can feel them. Causal chain:
consolidation creates gists -> coherence rises -> integration fires next.

- lyra/dream.py: dream_cycle() + lyra-dream CLI (--force, --loop SECONDS)
- memory: backlog_stats(), profile_sessions_covered(), WAL + busy_timeout
  so a separate dream process coexists with the web server
- self_state: DEFAULT_DRIVES baseline + drives in render_for_context
- tests/test_dream.py: backlog sensing + a full forced pass (LLM stubbed)

"""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.
