- Source repo discovery now reconciles automatically during `npm run stack:start` and through the watchdog path, so new repos under `SOURCE_REPO_ROOT` stop waiting for manual hook folklore before they get indexed.
- Bot-directed prompts now stay in the raw Discord archive but are excluded from default semantic history indexing and lexical fallback, so repeated summons stop teaching the bot its own call-and-response loops.
- Source-grounding hints are advisory now; the owner and local lanes can decide when repo or lore tool use is actually warranted instead of obeying a lexical front-door veto.
- There is now a 15-minute local scheduled moderation loop named `Void Moderator Rumination`. It runs `scripts/run-void-moderator-rumination.ps1`, launches `codex exec` from the VoidBot workspace with the usual MCP/tool surface, treats `config/discord-server-rules.md`, `config/moderation-review-agent.md`, and `styles/void-default.md` as doctrine/personality surfaces, uses `node scripts/export-recent-discord-history.mjs` for chronological polling, uses `node scripts/export-random-discord-history.mjs` for quiet-room novelty dives, uses `node scripts/export-recent-repo-activity.mjs --hours 96 --max-commits 3` to watch cross-repo motion, and keeps its only routine writable memory in `.voidbot/private/moderation-agent-state.json`.
- There is now a 15-minute local scheduled moderation loop named `Void Moderator Rumination`. It runs `scripts/run-void-moderator-rumination.ps1`, launches `codex exec` from the VoidBot workspace with the usual MCP/tool surface, treats `config/discord-server-rules.md`, `config/moderation-review-agent.md`, and `styles/void-default.md` as doctrine/personality surfaces, uses `node scripts/export-recent-discord-history.mjs` for chronological polling, uses `node scripts/export-random-discord-history.mjs` for quiet-room novelty dives, uses `node scripts/export-recent-repo-activity.mjs --hours 96 --max-commits 3` to watch cross-repo motion, novelty-checks candidate thoughts against `search_history`, and keeps its only routine writable memory in `.voidbot/private/moderation-agent-state.json`.
- That moderation state file is now Ghostlight-shaped: identity, canonical state, goals, memories, perceived overlays, and a `moderation_runtime` block. Inside that runtime block, the loop now keeps parallel analytic and associative thought lanes plus a bridge for syntheses, saturation warnings, and unresolved tensions, so one good seam does not get to annex the entire mind.
- 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.
- 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.
- Directly invoked Discord replies now load that same private moderation state as distilled private self-state context, so the ruminating scheduled loop and the summoned Void share one evolving personality/state spine.
- The moderation loop now speaks through `node scripts/send-discord-message.mjs` using the local bot token instead of approval-gated side-effecting MCP tools, so unattended runs can DM or post without Codex pausing for permission every time it wants to open its mouth.
- The new state/notes surfaces are now the continuity spine for future nontrivial work.

- scheduled moderation/participation runner that launches `codex exec` from the VoidBot workspace with the usual MCP/tool surface, writes status/log pulse files, and lets the unattended loop persist only `.voidbot/private/moderation-agent-state.json`.
- `scripts/install-moderation-rumination-task.ps1`
- installs the local 15-minute scheduled task that runs the moderation/participation loop through the hidden PowerShell launcher shim.
- `scripts/simulate-void-mood.mjs`
- plain Node mood-drift organ that nudges the shared personality-vector activations with Perlin-shaped noise, damps them back toward their means using plasticity, and updates the speak/confession/novelty pressure meter in the shared self-state.
- `scripts/run-void-mood-drift.ps1`
- hidden-task wrapper for the mood-drift organ; writes status/log pulse files and respects the moderation lock so the two state writers do not stomp each other for sport.

- installs the local 5-minute scheduled task that keeps the shared self-state emotionally non-flat between moderation passes.
- `scripts/export-random-discord-history.mjs`
- plain Node helper for novelty excursions that samples one random archived Discord seam, returns a local context window around the anchor message, and skips bot-directed prompt rows by default.

@ -157,6 +163,14 @@ Within the Postgres path, the implementation is split on purpose now too:
1. The Windows scheduled task `Void Moderator Rumination` starts `scripts/run-void-moderator-rumination.ps1` every 15 minutes.
2. The runner launches `codex exec` from `E:\Projects\VoidBot` with full local workspace/tool access so the child agent sees the same project rules, `.codex/config.toml`, and `voidbot` MCP server as a normal VoidBot workspace session.
3. The child agent reads `config/discord-server-rules.md`, `config/moderation-review-agent.md`, `styles/void-default.md`, and `.voidbot/private/moderation-agent-state.json`.
4. For chronological heartbeat duty, it polls `node scripts/export-recent-discord-history.mjs`; when the room is quiet or a fresh hook deserves a wider branch, it also uses `node scripts/export-random-discord-history.mjs` to force at least one novelty excursion before settling into theory. It also uses `node scripts/export-recent-repo-activity.mjs --hours 96 --max-commits 3` to inspect cross-repo commit motion across the tracked GameCult zoo. For deeper social or project context, it can use the usual retrieval tools (`search_history`, `get_message_context`, `list_indexed_repos`, `search_sources`, `get_source_context`).
5. If speaking would genuinely help, it posts through `node scripts/send-discord-message.mjs`; otherwise it updates only the ignored moderation state file with cursors, memories, analytic/associative thought lanes, bridge syntheses and saturation notes, recent archive excursions, recent repo-activity sweeps, and candidate interventions.

It also uses `node scripts/export-recent-repo-activity.mjs --hours 96 --max-commits 3` to inspect cross-repo commit motion across the tracked GameCult zoo, and semantic `search_history` to novelty-check candidate thoughts before deciding whether they are already in the room.

Fresh multi-repo convergences are supposed to bias toward brief herald notes instead of always dying as private diary matter.
6. The runner writes pulse files under `.voidbot/status/moderation-rumination.json` plus `.voidbot/logs/moderation-rumination*`, so the loop can be observed without pretending an app heartbeat card is a real workstation daemon.
## Flow 6: Mood Drift
1. The Windows scheduled task `Void Mood Drift` starts `scripts/run-void-mood-drift.ps1` every 5 minutes.
2. That wrapper calls `node scripts/simulate-void-mood.mjs`, which reads `.voidbot/private/moderation-agent-state.json`.
3. The script nudges each canonical-state `current_activation` toward a Perlin-shaped target centered on the vector mean, with excursion size and drift rate governed by plasticity and category-specific tempo.
4. It also reads `.voidbot/status/void-last-speech.json` so recent actual speech damps `needToSpeak` instead of letting the herald impulse climb forever like a busted pressure gauge.
5. The updated `speaking_bias` block and shifted activations are written back into the shared self-state, and a pulse lands in `.voidbot/status/void-mood-drift.json`.
