Introduce a new Neuromorphic Firmware note and weave the concept throughout the Pre-Elysium vault: expand the Cognitum faction entry into a detailed corporate history, protocols, and political role; annotate Brain-Computer Interfaces and Mind Uploading with references to Cognitum's productized upload abuse; and clarify its influence in the Existential Collapse and FTL Trigger timeline entries. Also refine contributor guidance in AGENTS.md to prefer sober, procedural language when describing institutional cruelty and preserve euphemisms as worldbuilding.
Introduce a lightweight local Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG) toolchain for the Aetheria Obsidian vault. Added scripts/rag/rag.py (indexing, chunking, embedding, hybrid semantic+lexical query, stats, and install), a PowerShell wrapper scripts/rag/rag.ps1 that resolves Python and forwards commands, and scripts/rag/README.md with usage (install, build, query, stats). Add requirements-rag.txt for qdrant-client[fastembed] and pywin32, and include a compiled __pycache__ file. Update .gitignore to ignore the .rag/ artifact directory and update AGENTS.md with Vault Navigation guidance recommending the local RAG workflow. The tool stores local artifacts under .rag/ (pydeps, qdrant, model cache, chunks and manifest) and defaults to a CPU-friendly embedding model.
