Found in live logs after the previous commit deployed:
storyline: step 1/11: orient_self → explore.wander
advisor-trigger: firing because wedged (planned=survive.acquire-food, ...)
Manifesto was still picking survive.acquire-food (L1 food) over the
storyline's orient_self → explore.wander. That's the wrong precedence —
storyline expresses a *concrete operational subgoal* and L1+ manifesto
needs are just "you'd benefit from food" priorities, not emergencies.
New dispatch precedence in curriculumReflex:
1. manifesto L0 (alive emergencies: lava, low-HP+hostile, food=0)
2. storyline (concrete narrative subgoal — beats L1+ manifesto)
3. manifesto L1+ (fallback when storyline has no concrete suggestion)
4. curriculum plan (legacy fallback)
This way the bot starts following the narrative arc even while
manifesto's L1 food is technically unsatisfied — orient_self runs to
completion before pursuing food explicitly. Storyline already handles
food as step 5 (first_food), so we're not skipping it.
Tests: 378 green (+2 priority-ordering tests):
- L0 manifesto emergency: upstream reflex (defend/modes) catches before
curriculum dispatch
- storyline beats manifesto when both have suggestions: well-fed bot
with logs → craft.planks (storyline crafting_basics), not gather.logs
(manifesto L2)
- updated "manifesto fallback" test to require disableStoryline=true
