- Itinerary tool (set/advance/describe/clear) with YAML persistence
and todo-linked enrichment, rendered as TUI header strip
- Mid-turn subconscious checkpoint: every N tool rounds, Aster assesses
progress; HALT verdict breaks the loop with full correction pass
- Nickname tool: agent learns human's name via set/get/clear, stored
in system/human.md frontmatter, TUI uses it in chat bubble labels
- Removed hardcoded human.md write from memory::init (wizard owns it)
- Prompt nudge for itinerary when live todos exist without a route
- settings: open on Categories panel; "saved" message; fix ScMaxTokens
commit path; char-boundary-safe field editor (UTF-8 panic on paste)
- tui: drop empty interstitial gap lines (trim whitespace narration)
- compaction: teach the subconscious to compact (SUBCONSCIOUS_BODY_ORIENTATION);
memory compact resolves per-agent-type default; subconscious leans sliding_reflect
- sliding_reflect preservation pass runs as a fresh fork of the agent being
compacted — her persona, first person, '[Threads I carried forward]'
SensorEvent gets reply_to for directed routing. FederationConfig gains
peers (url + pubkey + subscriptions). New src/server/federation/ module
with SignedEvent (Ed25519 sign/verify) and FederationBridge (per-peer
outbound WS tasks with echo-safe seed_id filter and backoff reconnect).
Inbound /v1/federation/events handler verifies signatures before bus
injection. Bridge spawned in server::run() when federation.enabled.
Lays the substrate for Aster's clockmaker role and federation.
Nervous system (src/core/nervous/):
- EventBus broadcast channel with SensorEvent (universal event type
carrying seed_id for future federation)
- CronSensor loop with tokio::select!, mtime caching, active-session
pause, at-most-once firing semantics
- HeartbeatHandler scaffold (turn injection still stubbed)
- Persistent JSONL EventLog firehose
Schedule tool (src/core/tools/schedule.rs):
- CRUD over schedule files with body-knowledge prose descriptions
- Added to ASTER_SAFE_TOOLS so Aster can schedule her own rhythm
- CLI subcommand for direct schedule management
Seed identity (src/core/identity/):
- Ed25519 keypair, load-or-generate at init
- sign/verify primitives, CLI subcommand (show/sign/verify)
- Wired into LocalBackend, threaded through SensorEvent for federation
Credentials (src/core/credentials.rs):
- OS keyring (Linux/macOS/Windows) + env var fallback
- `souveraine auth` subcommand
- Removes hardcoded Bifrost api_key from souveraine.toml
Subconscious ledger (src/core/memory/mod.rs init_subconscious_ledger):
- 6 ledger files (commitments/assumptions/patterns/drift_log/
relationships/infrastructure) with proper YAML frontmatter
- Paths fixed: ledger/ not subconscious/ledger/
- Body usage instructions, idempotent init
Prompt orientation (src/core/prompt.rs build_ledger_orientation):
- Scans ledger/ directory, injects last 3 entries from each file
into Aster's system prompt (live context, not just awareness)
- Routing table + workflow (read before write, timestamped append)
Consciousness engine (src/server/consciousness_engine.rs):
- Adaptive rate delay shared with primary loop
- Four-fold mandate (Complete/Verify/Persist/Surface) in hardcoded
default prompt; observation format extracted for sharing
- Schedule added to ASTER_SAFE_TOOLS
Backend + CLI wiring expanded to mount the nervous system, identity,
and credentials at startup. New TOML sections: [schedules], [events],
[federation].
102 tests passing.
- Added src/ui/buddy.rs with CompanionSprite, BuddyState, and draw functions
- Integrated buddy into app.rs for welcome screen and dashboard
- Added agent selection via 'a' key on welcome screen
- Buddy shows agent name, mood, energy, health, and subconscious status
- WIP: Needs full agent alias creation/removal flow
