Two bugs surfacing in the log during live play:
- SUMMARY_BACKEND=mi50 (llama.cpp, 32B) was fed 24k-char chunks → "Context size
has been exceeded". Chunk budget is now backend-aware: cloud 24k, local/mi50 8k,
and the merge step recurses so merged partials never overflow either.
- maybe_summarize ran inline in the chat turn and retried 4× with backoff (~30s),
stalling the reply and surfacing the error. It now runs in a background daemon
thread, swallows errors (consolidation is best-effort maintenance), and dedupes
so at most one summary per session runs at a time.
