pepa-pi-bot/runtime/reflex.js

// Reflex layer: priority-ordered behaviours that decide what the bot does
// each tick. The LLM is NOT called here. If every reflex declines, the tick
// yields and we try again next interval. The bot.js layer tracks consecutive
// noops and escalates to Pi after a threshold (see ESCALATE_AFTER_NOOPS).
//
// Chain (top to bottom — first to dispatch wins):
//
//   defend     event-driven, hostile in melee or low HP + close
//   eat        event-driven, food bar low
//   sleep      event-driven, night without hostile in reach
//   curriculum the new scheduler — reads snapshot.curriculum and dispatches
//              via runtime/skills/runSkill. Replaces the old ad-hoc
//              tech-tree + autonomous chop/wander branches.
//   idle       heartbeat logger
//
// Operator chat does NOT create tasks (Phase 0 pivot). TUI pause/stop is
// the only local override.
