- Append [Archived Context Summary] to system prompt instead of injecting
it into the user message runtime context, improving KV cache reuse across
turns and avoiding consecutive same-role messages.
- _last_summary persists in metadata (no pop) for restart survival;
summary is re-injected every turn via the stable system prompt.
- Remove dynamic "Inactive for X minutes" from _format_summary — use
static last_active timestamp instead to preserve KV cache stability.
- Pass session_summary through build_messages() so both normal and
ask_user paths receive the archived summary in the system prompt.
- estimate_session_prompt_tokens now reads _last_summary from metadata
to include the summary in token budget estimation.
- Remove obsolete session_summary parameter from
maybe_consolidate_by_tokens and estimate_session_prompt_tokens
call sites in loop.py (summary flows through build_messages instead).
- Ensure /new (session.clear()) clears _last_summary from metadata.
The previous implementation popped _last_summary from session.metadata
after injecting it into the prompt, then saved the session. This caused
the summary to be permanently lost after a process restart, making the
AI forget archived context and appear to ignore memory or reference
non-existent previous messages.
Replace the destructive pop with a _last_summary_used sentinel:
- _last_summary stays in metadata for restart survival
- _last_summary_used prevents duplicate injection within the same turn
- Clear the sentinel whenever a new summary is generated
Updates tests to match the new persistence behavior.
Replace single-stage MemoryConsolidator with a two-stage architecture:
- Consolidator: lightweight token-budget triggered summarization,
appends to HISTORY.md with cursor-based tracking
- Dream: cron-scheduled two-phase processor that analyzes HISTORY.md
and updates SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md via AgentRunner with
edit_file tools for surgical, fault-tolerant updates
New files: MemoryStore (pure file I/O), Dream class, DreamConfig,
/dream and /dream-log commands. 89 tests covering all components.
