Third day of "bot just walks back and forth burning tokens". Root
causes were mechanical, not the manifesto:
1. SATED BOT CHASING FOOD (the big one)
Bot had food=17 (nearly full) but storyline first_food + manifesto
L1 required 2+ food ITEMS in inventory, so it looped scout-food /
acquire-food for hours instead of working. Now both treat a hunger
bar >= 14 (SATED_FOOD) as satisfied even with empty food inventory —
a full bot chops wood / makes tools and grabs food opportunistically,
only hard-pursuing food when actually hungry (< 14).
manifesto/needs.js foodDetect + goal/storyline.js first_food.completed.
2. perf_hooks MEMORY LEAK (overnight OOM suspect)
"MaxPerformanceEntryBufferExceededWarning: 1,000,001 measure entries".
mineflayer/pathfinder emit perf marks we never consume. Added a
60s reaper in bot.js (performance.clearMeasures/clearMarks). unref'd.
3. IMPROVEMENT QUEUE SELF-DUPLICATING
The LLM re-filed closed gaps with reworded titles (#5/#8/#9 were
dupes of implemented #1/#2/#3). Exact-title dedup missed them.
Replaced with token-set fuzzy match (isDuplicateTitle): jaccard>=0.75
OR >=3 shared meaningful tokens with jaccard>=0.5. Also: a re-filed
gap that's already implemented/rejected is NOT resurrected as a new
open row. Cleared all 5 open requests (now genuinely implemented).
Also confirmed (no change needed):
- canDig=true is a DELIBERATE codebase-wide choice ("without it the bot
gets permanently stuck", actions.js). The stale memory recommending
canDig=false is updated. ViaBackwards dig works partially (dug:1
moved:1.8 observed); false would trap the bot in every pit.
- scout-food already has blind/tunnel fallback + 12s step timeout
(operator's earlier edits) so trapped-pathfinder degrades instead of
hanging 30s.
Tests: 407 green (was 404). Updated needs/state/storyline tests for the
SATED_FOOD threshold; added fuzzy-dedup + tokenize/jaccard tests.
