Older sessions fade to a general idea; details stay retrievable.
- memory: summaries table (one compacted gist per session, embedded), plus
store_summary/get_summary/recall_summaries and unsummarized_count (tracks
exchanges newer than the current summary)
- lyra/summary.py: summarize_session compacts a session's raw turns into a
third-person gist (default SUMMARY_BACKEND=local, so compaction is free);
maybe_summarize re-summarizes once SUMMARIZE_AFTER new turns accumulate
- chat.build_messages now layers context in tiers: persona -> gists of other
sessions -> a few sharp raw cross-session details -> current session raw
turns -> new message; respond() compacts the session after each turn
- web: POST /sessions/{id}/summarize to compact on demand
- summarization activity surfaces in the live log
