Three closures of remaining PRD follow-ups, one merge:
1. Reflex scheduler now drives behaviour from the curriculum.
- reflex.js: replaced ad-hoc techTreeReflex + autonomousReflex with
curriculumReflex that dispatches the skill suggested by
snapshot.curriculum.plan via runSkill. Per-skill backoff for
missing_tool / missing_material / no_target / no_food_source /
unsupported_version. recover() hint with `{hint:"wander"}` swaps
the next tick to wander for 60 s.
- Chain is now: defend > eat > sleep > curriculum > idle.
- reflex.test.js: 11 new tests covering busy/disconnected,
defend/eat preemption, dispatch by id, unknown-skill fallback,
per-skill + wander-hint backoffs, onComplete updating backoff.
2. Pi escalation for ADDRESSED_BANTER with hard rate limit.
- bot.js: when generateReply returns {escalate:true}, spawn askPi
with bot state + last 5 lines from that speaker (redacted via
chatMemory). Reply capped at 200 chars, sent as one chat line.
- Rate cap: 6 calls/hour, 90 s min gap. Suppressed escalations
log once and silently drop.
3. Phase 4 substrate.
- runtime/locations.js: atomic JSON store
(state/<host>/locations.json) with setLocation / getLocation /
nearestLocation / removeLocation; 6 tests.
- runtime/base-site.js: scoreCurrentPosition(bot) + pure scoreSite
bundle (wood / stone / water / flatness / no-players /
no-foreign-builds, owned-blocks excluded from claim penalty);
6 tests.
- runtime/skills/choose-base.js: village.choose-base skill — scores
the current spot, writes locations.base if score ≥ 8, otherwise
returns code:"too_weak" with a wander recover hint.
- curriculum.js: new final milestone village.base-site fires
village.choose-base until a base location exists.
- bot.js: stamps snapshot.locations from listLocations() each tick
so the curriculum can read it without coupling to disk.
docs/runtime.md updated with three new sections.
npm test now 116/116.
