Bias quiet runs toward deeper retrieval

 - The moderation loop now records `moderation_runtime.recent_archive_excursions` plus `moderation_runtime.recent_repo_activity_sweeps` and is explicitly told to avoid laundering the same musing through fresh wording. Quiet runs should follow at least one fresh archive seam or concrete hook before they settle into theory, should also sweep recent tracked-repo commit motion for experiment clusters or converging themes, and should not let any single theme dominate more than a couple of recent bridge syntheses without fresh evidence.
 - The loop is now less shy about that repo weather: if a fresh convergence across active repos survives a pass or two and still feels room-native, it should bias toward a concise herald note or at least a medium-priority candidate intervention instead of filing the thought under private wallpaper.
 - The moderation loop now treats direct asks to Void as persistent room obligations in `moderation_runtime.open_cases`. A reviewed message is not automatically a handled message: if someone hands Void the floor, that obligation should survive cursor advancement and block optional repo-weather until Void actually answers or explicitly retires it.
+- If quiet-room repo weather starts repeating itself, the intended correction is not a pile of extra cooldown law. The loop should treat that as a cue to go deeper into archive history, repo docs, diffs, or lore until it finds a better branch or honestly has nothing new to say.
 - There is also a separate 5-minute scheduled task named `Void Mood Drift`. It runs `scripts/run-void-mood-drift.ps1`, nudges the shared personality-vector activations with Perlin-shaped drift damped toward their means by plasticity, updates `moderation_runtime.speaking_bias`, and uses the local `void-last-speech.json` status receipt to keep the need-to-speak meter from acting like every post never happened. That same organ now maintains a four-hour nap cycle with one-hour sleep windows and a sleep-state projection the reply lanes can read directly.
 - That same mood organ now also runs a hybrid symbolic/vector memory pass through `scripts/void-memory-organ.mjs`: persistent memories and recent runtime seeds get compact semantic vectors, `moderation_runtime.memory_resonance` tracks the strongest cross-memory clusters, and `moderation_runtime.incubation` keeps multi-run thoughts alive long enough to deepen before they either speak or cool off.
 - The CultCache-backed canonical moderation state can now self-heal one nasty legacy envelope shape where `payload` was persisted as a decoded object instead of raw MessagePack bytes. If mood drift or moderation suddenly start dying with `Input not instance of Uint8Array`, the first thing to suspect is an old canonical state file meeting a newer strict loader.
