Live finding: her real reflections ARE injected every turn, but unlabeled — so
when asked about her "dream cycle" she recited the obsolete Dec-2025 spec from
imported memory (NVGRAM/awake-sleep) and confabulated fake example reflections
instead of reading the real ones in front of her.
- self_state.render_for_context: label the reflections as her own autonomously
generated dream-cycle thoughts ("these are really yours, not hypotheticals"),
not a vague "on your mind lately"
- persona: describe the dream cycle as her actual running mechanism, instruct
her to answer from the inner-state block, not recite old design docs, and
never invent example reflections to demo the feature

Lyra
A persistent, autonomous AI assistant. From-scratch rewrite of an earlier attempt.
The design thinking that survives the rewrite lives in docs/ — start with docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md. The previous implementation is preserved on the archive branch.
Status
Pre-MVP. Building toward the smallest useful version: chat with persistent memory across sessions.
Setup
uv sync
cp .env.example .env
# fill in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and point LOCAL_BASE_URL at your Ollama
Architecture
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.
