mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 1cf60f81e9 fix(v0.3.1): mechanical food/stuck fixes — bot reaches the chicken now
The wedge wasn't only in the manifesto layer; several mechanical bugs
kept the bot in a dead random-walk:

- storyline / manifesto / curriculum: "local food" now means an edible
  passive mob within <=32 blocks. A distant chicken or a cod no longer
  fools the bot into dispatching acquire-food (which then fails on
  no_path). Long-range food goes through scout-food instead.

- scout-food: partial approach to a target now counts as progress
  (approached_target, e.g. moved:14); a blocked heading is NOT counted
  as movement; added blind/tunnel fallback so it doesn't die when the
  pathfinder can't route cleanly.

- acquire-food: on no_path it now also tries a blind/tunnel approach to
  the animal; no_drop routes back into food scouting instead of giving
  up.

- explore.far / relocate / flee: fewer false "done" results (micro-steps
  no longer counted as success), more genuine escapes from stuck.

- scripts/show-story.js: live IPC now actually renders the current
  storyline step.

Verification: scripts/lint-patch.js clean; npm test 404/404 green; bot
relaunched in tmux `pepa`. Live logs show real progress — bot switched
to survive.scout-food, approached the chicken (approached_target
moved:14), then reached survive.acquire-food: hunting chicken. Food
isn't fully closed yet but the remaining issue is concrete pickup/drop,
not dead random-walk.

mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 b68d4b3ee7 fix(coach/trigger-tuner): crash after ~1h — runOnce is sync, not a Promise
The live bot died overnight with:
  TypeError: runOnce(...).catch is not a function
  at trigger-tuner.js:42  →  [supervisor] child exited code=1

attach() wrapped the timer body as `runOnce().catch(...)` but
runOnce() returns a plain {ok, flagged, ...} object (pure SQL, no
await). The first tuner tick (60min after spawn) threw → killed the
whole bot process. Never surfaced before because the bot rarely ran
uninterrupted for a full hour during development.

Fix: guard the synchronous call with try/catch, matching how
persona/chatter.js already does its sync tick. (postmortem.drainOnce
and reflect.runOnce ARE async, so their .catch is correct — audited.)

Regression test added: captures the setInterval callback and invokes
it synchronously, asserting it does not throw.

Tests: 397 green.

mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 08ac2e1bc1 feat(v0.3.1): real survival patterns — biome-aware scout, wedge-relocate, escape-pit-safe
Operator reported the bot wandered the same 50×50 patch for 2 hours
without making any progress toward food. Diagnosis showed three root
causes; this commit addresses all five open improvement_requests
the LLM (postmortem + tuner) flagged automatically.

Research basis (`Voyager`, `Plan4MC`, `GITM`, `Mindcraft`):
  - Coverage / commit-to-cardinal exploration when local scan fails
  - Biome-aware strategy switching using a static affordance table
  - Wedge detector above the skill layer that triggers RELOCATE not
    RETRY (per-skill stuck checks reset on re-entry — useless)
  - Time-in-region bbox heuristic + need-duration AND skill-cycle gate

Concrete changes:

1. `runtime/goal/storyline.js`
   - orient_self.completed: added timeout fallback (HP=full + session
     >120s → done) so barren biomes don't block the bot on step 1.
     Closes improvement #2 'Нет навыка оценки когда сменить район'.
   - first_food.suggestSkill: now picks survive.scout-food (new) when
     no passive mob is nearby; falls back to survive.acquire-food only
     when something is in immediate range.

2. `runtime/biome-affordances.js` (new)
   - Static table: 40+ biomes → {has_passive_mobs, has_trees,
     has_water, has_crops, livable}.
   - Unknown biomes return optimistic defaults to avoid regressions.
   - Closes improvement #1 'Нет навыка целевого поиска еды по биому'.

3. `runtime/skills/scout-food.js` (new — survive.scout-food)
   - Tiered strategy: biome check → scan 32 → scan 64 → commit a
     cardinal for 200 blocks rescanning every 16. On cardinal
     exhaustion, returns code:"exhausted" so the curriculum can
     escalate to village.relocate.
   - In barren biomes (desert/ocean/snowy_plains) the scan is
     SKIPPED — bot walks straight toward the nearest neighbour
     biome that affords passive mobs (8-direction biome probe at
     radius 64).

4. `runtime/awareness/wedge-detector.js` (new)
   - Rolling 10-min position bbox tracker. observe() called every
     tick; isWedged() returns true when bbox<50 AND active need
     unmet >5min AND skill cycles ≥3.
   - markRelocationStarted() suppresses further wedge firings
     until the bot has displaced ≥200b — prevents stack overflow
     of relocate calls.
   - Lives ABOVE the skill layer (in runtime/reflex.js), because
     any per-skill stuck check resets on re-entry.

5. `runtime/skills/relocate.js` (new — village.relocate)
   - 300-block walk in least-recently-used cardinal (per-incident
     memory in ctx.recentRelocations).
   - Re-paths every 32 blocks, soft-tolerates pathfinder failures
     (3 consecutive throws → exit with code:"stuck_in_place").
   - Closes improvement #2 + #4 ('low success rate trigger').

6. `runtime/skills/escape-pit-safe.js` (new — recovery.escape-pit-safe)
   - Surveys 4 cardinals AND ceiling height before committing.
     Picks the direction with most open blocks (≥3, no lava).
     Falls through to pillar-up only if ceiling clear ≥4b. Returns
     code:"no_strategy" if both blocked so curriculum can escalate
     to relocate.
   - Closes improvement #3 'Нет навыка для безопасного выхода'.

7. `runtime/reflex.js`
   - Wedge detector wired before manifesto/storyline. If wedge.wedged
     is true, dispatches village.relocate directly and returns —
     bypasses every other branch.
   - ctx.disableWedge flag for tests.

8. `runtime/coach/advisor-trigger.js`
   - LLM provider outage backoff: 3 consecutive http_400 / timeout /
     network_error → suppress advisor for 10 min. Today's TimeWeb
     gpt-5.4-mini was 400'ing for an hour straight; we were spending
     trigger budget on dead calls. Closes improvement implicit gap
     in #5.

9. `runtime/bot.js`
   - Tracks botSpawnedAt; snapshot._sessionMs exposed for storyline
     orient_self timeout fallback.

Tests: 396 green (was 378, +18):
  - runtime/biome-affordances.test.js — 8 tests
  - runtime/awareness/wedge-detector.test.js — 9 tests
  - runtime/goal/storyline.test.js — 1 new test (orient_self timeout)

mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 7f545723b5 feat(v0.3.1): storyline — canonical Minecraft survival quest
The bot has been stuck in a loop for two days:
  acquire-food (fail: no nearby food) → explore.far → pillar-up (fail) → repeat

Diagnosis: manifesto + LLM advisor both correctly identify "you need
food" but neither expresses *what concretely to do next*. Manifesto is
a priority ladder (need-detection), not a narrative arc.

This commit adds the missing narrative layer — an ordered list of
operational steps that mirror the vanilla Minecraft survival path:

  1. orient_self      — Понять где я
  2. first_wood       — Собрать 8 поленьев
  3. crafting_basics  — Сделать верстак и палки
  4. first_tools      — Деревянные орудия
  5. first_food       — Найти первую еду
  6. shelter_minimal  — Простой шелтер с кроватью
  7. stone_tier       — Каменные орудия
  8. food_security    — Запас еды на 16+
  9. iron_age         — Железо и печь
  10. settle_base     — Постоянная база
  11. village_grow    — Развивать деревню (ongoing)

Each step has:
  - completed(snapshot) → bool — detects achievement from snapshot
  - suggestSkill(snapshot) → { skillId, args? } — concrete next dispatch
  - emergencyPause(snapshot) → bool — defers to manifesto L0 alive
    emergencies (low HP near hostile, lava under foot, food = 0)
  - narration_ru — chat-friendly Russian one-liner spoken on entry

Components:

- runtime/goal/storyline.js — 11-step canonical quest catalogue
- runtime/goal/state.js — pickCurrentStep(snapshot) walks the list,
  returns first non-completed step + its suggestion. 3s cache.
  Validates suggestSkill's skillId against the live registry.
- runtime/reflex.js — curriculumReflex dispatch priority is now:
    1. manifesto (L0 alive emergencies always win)
    2. storyline (concrete operational subgoal)
    3. curriculum plan (legacy fallback)
  Tests pass ctx.disableStoryline=true for isolation.
- runtime/bot.js — snapshot.storyStep populated each tick so
  chatter/advisor/reflect observers see the same view.
- runtime/coach/fast-advisor.js — buildUserPrompt now embeds the
  current step + its suggested skill, so LLM advice is anchored
  ("step 5 first_food, storyline wants survive.acquire-food, but
  recent dispatches show it's failing — try explore.far + scout").
- runtime/coach/advisor-trigger.js — forwards ctx.storyStep into
  advise() and logs step id at trigger time.
- runtime/coach/reflect.js — reflection prompt includes storyline
  progress so 30-min self-assessment is anchored.
- runtime/persona/chatter.js — narrates step.narration_ru on
  transition. Rate-limited via existing maybeNarrateRaw().

New operator CLI:

- scripts/show-story.js — fetches the live snapshot via IPC sock and
  prints step progress with ✓/→/ markers, current skill, inventory.
  Falls back to --plain catalogue view when bot offline.

Token cost impact: ~+30 input tokens per advise() call (one extra
line in user prompt). Trivial vs the value of grounding LLM advice
in a concrete narrative.

Operator usage:

  node scripts/show-story.js          # live progress + which step + why
  node scripts/show-story.js --plain  # static catalogue of all 11 steps

Tests: 376 green (was 360, +16 storyline tests).

Also in this branch (already committed): dev/v0.3.1/PRD.md —
LLM prompt cost optimization design doc.

7d96e44804 v0.3.0: Maslow + Awareness — self-learning bot with needs ladder, event-driven reflex, and TimeWeb fast advisor (#27)
* v0.3.0-rc.1: live skill registry + fast advisor scaffold

Roots out the v0.2.x failure mode: Pi-extracted lessons routinely named
hallucinated skill ids (relocate.surface, choose.safe.surface,
survive.shelter, gather.visible_log, …). All 47 Pi-lessons in the live DB
had applied_count=0 because normalisePreferSkill couldn't find them.

Fix:
1. runtime/skill-registry.js — single source of truth derived from
   skills/index.js. Exports listSkillIds, isRegistered, and a
   prompt-ready block (skillRegistryPrompt) grouped by namespace.
2. Pi prompts (coach/postmortem, coach/reflect) embed the live registry
   with a "USE ONLY THESE, never invent" instruction. Lessons are
   filtered at write-time too — anything not in the registry and not a
   known mode name gets dropped.
3. coach/advice.js — normalisePreferSkill now returns null for unknown
   ids, hardening consult() against any hallucinations that slip
   through. Warn-logged for visibility.

Also lays the LLM substrate for the rest of v0.3.0:

- runtime/llm/provider.js — OpenAI-compatible chat client. Configured
  via PEPA_FAST_LLM_{BASE_URL,API_KEY,MODEL,TIMEOUT_MS}. Safe no-op
  unless API_KEY is set. Supports JSON-mode.
- runtime/coach/fast-advisor.js — tactical advisor tier (scaffold).
  Exposes advise() that asks the fast LLM what to do RIGHT NOW when
  the reflex is wedged/stuck. Rejects hallucinated skill ids using the
  registry. Rate-limited 6/h, 30s cooldown. Not auto-triggered yet —
  wired into reflex in rc.3 (awareness layer).

Tests: 279 green (+24 vs rc.3): 5 registry, 9 provider, 10 advisor.

See dev/v0.3.0/PLAN.md for the full iteration design (manifesto needs
ladder, event-driven awareness, skill pre-emption) and STATUS.md for
shipped/pending tracking.

* v0.3.0-rc.2: manifesto / needs ladder L0-L10

Adds an explicit hierarchical needs catalogue that the reflex consults
on every tick. The bot now pursues tangible intermediate goals (food,
wood tools, shelter, stone tools, ...) instead of inheriting whatever
the curriculum thought was "next".

Ladder:
  L0  alive          HP>5, food>0, not in lava, not panic-near hostile
  L1  food           ≥6 food items in inventory (or sated + any food)
  L2  tools_wood     wooden_pickaxe + wooden_axe + wooden_sword
  L3  shelter_basic  bed placed nearby or in inventory
  L4  tools_stone    stone-tier triplet
  L5  armor_basic    any chestplate (pursue=null until craft.leather-*
                     lands; ladder gracefully skips)
  L6  food_security  ≥16 food items
  L7  tools_iron     iron-tier triplet (pursue=gather.stone for now)
  L8  armor_iron     iron chestplate (pursue=null for now)
  L9  village_seed   bed + chest in nearby blocks
  L10 village_full   never detected, falls through to curriculum

Each need has detect(snapshot) → bool and pursue(snapshot) →
{skillId, args} | null. The ladder picks the LOWEST unsatisfied
pursuable need. Needs whose pursue is null get recorded as
blockedNeeds and the walk continues — no stalling on missing skills.

Wired into curriculumReflex: manifesto takes precedence over
curriculum.plan when it has a concrete suggestion. Tests can pass
ctx.disableManifesto=true to exercise the curriculum branch
in isolation (existing reflex tests keep passing this way).

Pi self-reflection prompt now includes
"activeNeed (Maslow ladder L0-L10): L2 tools_wood → gather.logs"
so Pi advises at the right level instead of giving generic guidance.

skillId returned by pursue() is validated against the live registry
(rc.1 plumbing) — manifesto cannot accidentally dispatch a
hallucinated skill name.

Tests: 315 green (was 279 on rc.1, +36 new):
- runtime/manifesto/needs.test.js — 24 tests (per-need detect/pursue,
  helper sums)
- runtime/manifesto/state.test.js — 10 tests (ladder walk, hostile
  takeover at L0, armor skipping, caching)
- runtime/reflex.test.js — 2 integration tests (manifesto overrides
  curriculum plan; well-fed bot pursues tools_stone)

* v0.3.0-rc.3: event-driven awareness + skill pre-emption

Adds a reactive layer on top of the polling reflex. The bot now
notices environmental shocks (forced moves, HP plunges, hostile
spawns) within ~100ms instead of waiting for the next DISPATCH tick,
and the in-flight skill is preempted so the next reflex cycle can
re-plan against the current world state.

This is the rc that wires the "rc.1 plumbing + rc.2 manifesto" into
a feedback loop:
  - awareness fires preempt → dispatch aborts
  - reflex tick re-evaluates → manifesto walks the ladder
  - new dispatch picks the right skill for the new world state

Pieces:

- runtime/awareness/events.js (new) — bot.on listeners:
  - move: single-tick Δposition ≥ 5 blocks → forced_move flag + preempt
  - health: HP drop ≥ 2 → health_plunge flag + preempt
  - entitySpawn: hostile mob within 12 blocks → hostile_added + preempt
  - blockUpdate: nearby block change → env_changed flag (no preempt,
    throttled 800ms; otherwise gather skills would self-preempt
    every dig)

- runtime/skills/index.js — RUNNER_CODES.PREEMPTED + raceWithAbort()
  wraps every execute() against ctx.abortSignal. Existing skills get
  preemption for free; they don't have to check the signal manually.

- runtime/bot.js:
  - dispatchAction creates a fresh AbortController per dispatch and
    stores it on reflexCtx.currentAbort
  - attachAwareness fires controller.abort() when something disrupts
    the active skill; runSkill returns code: "preempted" and the
    reflex moves on
  - reflexCtx.lastPreempt records the most recent shock

Tests: 332 green (was 315 on rc.2, +17 new):
- runtime/awareness/events.test.js — 12 tests (each event type +
  thresholds + throttling + passive-mob filter)
- runtime/skills/contract.test.js — 3 abortSignal tests
  (mid-flight, pre-armed, clean signal)

* chore(.env): add PEPA_FAST_LLM_* placeholders for v0.3.0 fast advisor

Empty values keep the fast-advisor tier disabled (safe no-op). Fill
in BASE_URL + API_KEY + MODEL to enable. TimeWeb-style endpoint
example included.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(v0.3.0): rename fast-LLM env vars to TIMEWEB_* (match other projects)

Aligns with the user's other repos (proso) which use TIMEWEB_API_GROK /
TIMEWEB_URL_GROK. Single naming convention across projects avoids the
'which env var was it for this repo' mental tax.

  PEPA_FAST_LLM_BASE_URL → TIMEWEB_BASE_URL
  PEPA_FAST_LLM_API_KEY  → TIMEWEB_API_KEY
  PEPA_FAST_LLM_MODEL    → TIMEWEB_MODEL
  PEPA_FAST_LLM_TIMEOUT_MS → TIMEWEB_TIMEOUT_MS

Provider still works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — TimeWeb is
the default but the variable name doesn't lock us in. Tests + docs +
.env / .env.example updated.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(scripts): TimeWeb smoke test + bump default LLM timeout to 20s

scripts/check-timeweb.js — three probes: plain text, JSON mode, full
fast-advisor stack (registry injection + skill validation). Loads .env,
prints {ok, latency, reply preview} for each. Doesn't touch bot state.

Bumped DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS 8s → 20s in runtime/llm/provider.js. TimeWeb's
hosted agent endpoint takes 5-15s for the fast-advisor prompt
(registry block + snapshot context), so 8s was producing spurious
timeouts. OpenAI direct returns much faster; env var TIMEWEB_TIMEOUT_MS
overrides if needed.

Smoke verified live (PR #27 branch):
  probe 1: 6.3s, plain prompt → "pepa hears you"
  probe 2: 5.4s, JSON mode → {"alive":true,"name":"pepa"}
  probe 3: 14.9s, advise() → action=switch_skill, skill=recovery.tunnel-out
           (correct registered skill, sensible rationale — registry
           injection successfully prevents hallucination)

* feat(v0.3.0): auto-trigger fast-advisor + token usage tracking

Closes the awareness → LLM → action loop that the rc.1/2/3 sequence
left as a followup. When the bot is wedged, looping, or just suffered
a preempt-then-retry, the reflex fires advise() in the background;
when the recommendation lands it overrides the next dispatch.

Async by design: advise() takes 5-15s on TimeWeb's hosted endpoint —
too slow for a synchronous reflex tick. tickAdvisor() is fire-and-
forget, the result lands on ctx.advisorRecommendation, and the *next*
tick reads and consumes it. Recommendations age out after 60s.

Components:

- runtime/coach/advisor-trigger.js — policy + async fire path
  - tickAdvisor(ctx, {plannedSkillId}) checks three triggers:
    1. wedged > 60s (no significant move)
    2. last 4+ dispatches are the same skill AND it's planned again
    3. preempt within last 30s + same skill being retried
  - 90s trigger cooldown, single-in-flight guard
  - consumeFreshRecommendation(ctx) reads/clears the cache
- runtime/reflex.js — curriculumReflex calls tickAdvisor() every tick
  and consumes a fresh recommendation BEFORE dispatching. ctx flag
  disableAdvisor=true for tests.
- runtime/bot.js — dispatchAction maintains a rolling 8-slot
  reflexCtx.recentSkillIds for the loop-detection trigger.

Token usage:

- runtime/llm/provider.js — normaliseUsage() reads OpenAI/TimeWeb-
  style {prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens} from the
  response. Returned on every complete() result and logged at info
  level as "in=Nt/out=Mt".
- runtime/coach/fast-advisor.js — getUsageSnapshot() aggregates
  total tokens across all calls in the session.

Measured on live TimeWeb endpoint (gpt-5.4-mini agent):
  per call: ~705 input + 45 output = ~750 tokens
  rate limit: 6 calls/hour
  worst case at full budget: ~108K tokens/day
  estimated cost (OpenAI gpt-5-mini reference price): ~$0.60/month

Well within any reasonable budget — model can run hot 24/7.

Smoke verified: scripts/check-timeweb.js probe 4 produces
  trigger fired: true (wedged_90s)
  recommendation: recovery.tunnel-out
  rationale: "Stuck wedged for 90s; exploration is failing."
  latency: 5302ms

Tests: 345 green (was 332, +13 advisor-trigger).

* feat(v0.3.0): paradigm shift — TimeWeb-only LLM + persistent advisor trail + improvement queue

This is the rc.4 batch the user requested:

  1. Emergency triggers (low HP + close hostile, lava-under-foot)
     bypass the long cooldown so the LLM is consulted BEFORE the bot
     dies, not after.
  2. Active manifesto need is now included in the advisor user prompt
     — the LLM picks suggestions that satisfy the bot's current
     concrete need (L2 tools_wood → "gather logs nearby" not
     "explore further").
  3. Every advisor recommendation is persisted to SQLite
     (advisor_recommendations table) with full token usage. The
     reflex marks 'applied=1' when it dispatches and updates
     outcome_ok/code when the dispatch completes. Ground truth for
     "is the LLM actually helping" lives in the DB, not in logs.
  4. Pi CLI is OUT of every background loop. coach/postmortem and
     coach/reflect now go through the same TimeWeb endpoint
     fast-advisor uses, via the shared coach/llm-call.js helper.
     Pi is reserved for manual operator commands.
  5. The LLM (postmortem, reflect, advisor) can flag "structural
     gaps" — missing skills/features the operator should implement.
     These land in the new improvement_requests table. Dedup by
     title bumps `votes` instead of inserting duplicates so the
     queue doesn't bloat. Operator views via
     `node scripts/list-improvements.js`.
  6. A deterministic trigger-tuner runs hourly: reads 24h of
     recommendation stats, flags triggers whose success rate is
     below 25% (sample ≥ 5) or whose prompts are expensive (>1000
     input tokens) with mediocre payoff. Improvements get
     source="tuner", category="tuning". No LLM call.

New files:
  runtime/coach/llm-call.js        — askAnalytical() helper
  runtime/coach/trigger-tuner.js   — stats → improvements
  runtime/coach/trigger-tuner.test.js
  scripts/list-improvements.js     — operator CLI

Schema additions:
  advisor_recommendations: id, ts, trigger_reason, planned_skill,
    recommended_skill, action, rationale, active_need, tokens_in,
    tokens_out, latency_ms, applied, outcome_ok, outcome_code, outcome_at
  improvement_requests: id, ts, source, category, title, description,
    context, priority, status, duplicate_of, votes, implemented_at, notes

Renamed env-var consumers:
  Pi-coach drainOnce({ askPi })   → drainOnce({ askAnalyticalFn? })
  Pi-reflect runOnce({ askPi })   → runOnce({ askAnalyticalFn? })
  bot.js attachCoach/attachReflect no longer pass askPi
  attachTuner() added to bot.js spawn handler
  lessons.source 'pi-coach'   → 'timeweb-coach'
  lessons.source 'pi-reflect' → 'timeweb-reflect'

Token cost measured live:
  ~705 input + 45 output = ~750 total per advisor call
  worst case @ 6 calls/hour rate cap = ~108K tokens/day
  OpenAI gpt-5-mini reference price: ~$0.60/month

Operator usage:
  node scripts/list-improvements.js                # open queue
  node scripts/list-improvements.js --stats        # advisor performance
  node scripts/list-improvements.js --done 17 "shipped in 0.3.1"
  node scripts/list-improvements.js --reject 18 "duplicate"

Tests: 360 green (was 332, +28 new).

865aae1213 v0.2.0-rc.3: pillar-up escape + advice in fallback + danger POI (#22)
* v0.2.0-rc.3: pillar-up escape + advice everywhere + danger POI

Closes the gap rc.2 left open. Live observation showed:
- Pi-coach extracted 5 high-quality lessons (do not explore.far at
  night near zombies, etc.) but none of them fired (applied_count=0
  across the board). Root cause: dispatcher consulted advice only on
  the main curriculum path; the bot was falling into the wander/
  explore.far FALLBACK after each gather attempt bailed, which
  bypassed consult().
- Bot was wedged in a pit on (608, 90) with stone walls. recovery.
  tunnel-out kept failing ("Digging aborted") because mining stone
  with fists takes ~10s/block; pathfinder watchdog kills it.

This patch:

1. survive.pillar-up (runtime/skills/pillar-up.js) — new escape skill.
   Places a placeable block under the bot and jumps onto it; repeats
   up to 8 steps. No pickaxe required. Works in dirt/cobble/planks/
   sand/gravel/wool/etc. The bot's vertical exit from any pit it can
   stand in.

2. Wedged-emergency reflex (runtime/reflex.js). At the top of
   curriculumReflex, if noProgressReason is wedged-like AND position
   hasn't shifted ≥16 blocks in 60s AND no hostile in 6m AND pillar
   block in inventory → dispatch survive.pillar-up. 2-min cooldown
   between attempts.

3. consult() now also runs on the WANDER/explore.far fallback path
   (runtime/reflex.js curriculumReflex). Pi-coach lessons can finally
   take effect. If the fallback skill is overridden to a non-eligible
   skill but the bot has a placeable block, falls back to pillar-up.
   Outcomes feed reportAdviceOutcome so confidence stays grounded.

4. recordPOI("danger") on death (runtime/coach/postmortem.js). Spatial
   memory now flags where the bot died, expires after 6h. POI table
   was empty in rc.2.

5. SAFE_OVERRIDES extended (runtime/coach/advice.js): adds
   survive.pillar-up and village.choose-base so coach lessons can
   route there.

Tests: 255/255 green (+9 pillar-up).

* v0.2.0-rc.3 fixup: relax wedged-escape trigger

Drop the WEDGED_REASONS check — noProgressReason is a string that
may or may not be set when the bot is stuck. Fire pillar-up purely on
"no horizontal progress ≥ 60s, no hostile in 6m, placeable block in
inv". Pillar-up is a constructive no-op when it's not needed (places
one dirt under self) so the false-positive cost is small.

Live observation: rc.3 was deployed and bot was wedged with tunnel-out
repeatedly aborted on stone, but wedged-escape never fired because
the runtime's noProgressReason wasn't in my whitelist. Removing the
gate lets the trigger actually engage.

e84148d189 v0.2.0-rc.2: P0 hardening — Pi headless, test state isolation, advice fixes (#21)
P0 (correctness):

1. PEPA_HEADLESS=1 guard in extensions/mineflayer-bridge.ts. When `pi -p`
   spawns a subprocess (banter, coach, planner, reflect, auto-patch), the
   bridge no longer attempts a second MC connect — the hybrid runtime
   already owns the nickname. runtime/pi-bridge.js sets the env var on
   every spawn. Root cause of the "two pepa_bot's racing for the slot"
   bug seen in reply-pi stderr.

2. Test state isolation in runtime/config.js. When running under the node
   test runner (detected via execArgv/argv) — or when PEPA_STATE_DIR is
   set — stateDir redirects to /tmp/pepa-test-state-<pid>/. log.js,
   scenario-memory, world-journal, and knowledge.db all follow.
   `npm test` no longer pollutes live scenarios.jsonl, world-journal.jsonl,
   or daily log files. Verified empirically: post-fix run added 0 test
   rows to the live scenarios file. Cleaned ~550 historical test rows
   from live state in the same change.

3. defendReflex outcome reporting (runtime/reflex.js). Previously a
   creeper-rule override marked the lesson succeeded=false BEFORE the
   flee skill returned. Now dispatchDefendFlee accepts {lessonId} and
   the onComplete fires reportAdviceOutcome with the actual flee result.

4. Mode-name → skill-id translation in runtime/coach/advice.js. Pi-coach
   occasionally returns prefer_skill values that are mode names
   ("night_shelter", "self_preservation", "hunger"). normalisePreferSkill
   maps these to SAFE_OVERRIDES entries before dispatch. Also handles
   "tunnel-out", "survive_flee", "survive flee" shapes.

New behavior:

5. Self-reflection loop (runtime/coach/reflect.js). Every 30 min, the
   bot asks Pi: "Are you making progress, or stuck in a loop? What
   should you do differently?" Pi answers with a verdict
   (progress/loop/recovering/idle/emergency), summary, next-action, and
   0-N new lessons. The reflection is written to
   state/<host>/reflections/<ts>.md and lessons land in the DB with
   source="pi-reflect". Rate-limited to 2 calls/hour. Wired through
   bot.js with the existing askPi + lastSnapshot accessor.

Tests: 246/246 green (+9 new: 6 advice mode-name + 4 reflect).

mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 e183aaec4e feat(runtime/coach,reflex): retrieval-augmented dispatch via learned lessons
This closes the learning loop. Lessons in knowledge.db now actually
influence behaviour:

- runtime/coach/advice.js: consult({plannedSkillId, snapshot}) reads
  knowledge.topAdvice() and returns 'override' / 'avoid' / 'proceed'.
  When a lesson says "avoid <skill>" with prefer="survive.flee" (etc.),
  the dispatcher swaps in the alternative.

- runtime/reflex.js:
  * curriculumReflex now consults advice before dispatch; on 'avoid'
    backs off the planned skill + sets wander hint; on 'override'
    dispatches the lesson's preferred alternative.
  * defendReflex (dist≤4 melee branch) consults advice too — so a
    creeper at 4m honours the starter rule "attack creeper → flee".
    Failure outcomes feed back via markApplied so confidence stays
    grounded.

SAFE_OVERRIDES whitelist contains only known runSkill targets
(survive.flee, survive.sleep, survive.eat, recovery.tunnel-out,
explore.far/wander, village.build-shelter); unknown prefers fall back
to plain 'avoid'.

7 advice tests; total suite 237 green.

mayatnikovandClaude Opus 4.7 5449ad2e0d feat(runtime/coach,persona): death post-mortem coach + Russian chat narration
Coach (runtime/coach/postmortem.js):
- bot.on('death') → captures context (last skill, hostile, recent
  scenarios, journal nearby, snapshot) → inserts row into knowledge.deaths
- Periodic drain (every 5min, ≤3 Pi calls/hour, 12min cooldown):
  batches up to 8 unanalysed deaths, asks Pi to extract 1-3 generalised
  lessons in JSON, persists to knowledge.lessons + knowledge.postmortems
- Pi prompt asks for structured advice (trigger_skill, trigger_hostile,
  avoid_skill, prefer_skill, confidence) so future dispatch can act on it

Persona (runtime/persona/chatter.js):
- Polls snapshot every 5s, narrates Russian lines on transitions:
  skill start, threat spotted, dusk/dawn, respawn, stuck, milestone done
- Rate-limited: min 75s gap, max 8/hour, duplicate suppression
- ~14 template buckets covering gather/craft/build/travel/combat/weather

Wire-up in bot.js (5 lines):
- initKnowledge({stateDir}) fire-and-forget at module load
- attachCoach + attachChatter inside bot.once("spawn")

Tests: 14 new (7 coach, 7 persona). Total suite 230 green.
