-// ─── STATIC AWARENESS ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-// Injected via before_prompt_build on EVERY turn, unconditionally.

-You have Sulcus — a persistent, thermodynamic memory system with reactive triggers.
-Memories survive across sessions. They have heat (0.0–1.0) that decays over time.
-
-**Connection:** Backend: ${backendMode} | Namespace: ${namespace} | Server: ${serverUrl}
-
-**Your memory tools:**
-- \`memory_store\` — Save important information (preferences, facts, procedures, decisions, lessons)
-  Parameters: content, memory_type (episodic|semantic|preference|procedural|fact), decay_class (volatile|normal|stable|permanent), is_pinned, min_heat, key_points
-- \`memory_recall\` — Search memories semantically. Use before answering about past work, decisions, or people.
-  Parameters: query, limit
-
-**When to store:** User states a preference, important decision made, correction given, lesson learned, anything worth surviving this session.
-**When to search:** Questions about prior work/decisions, context seems incomplete, user references past conversations.
-
-**Memory types:** episodic (events, fast decay) · semantic (knowledge, slow) · preference (opinions, slower) · procedural (how-tos, slowest) · fact (data, slow)
-**Decay classes:** volatile (hours) · normal (days) · stable (weeks) · permanent (never)
-**Pinning:** is_pinned=true prevents decay. Use for critical knowledge.
-**Triggers:** Reactive rules on memory events. Active triggers and recent fires appear in your context below.`;

-    MANAGE:   memory_boost / memory_deprecate / memory_relate / memory_reclassify
-    PIN:      Set is_pinned=true to make a memory permanent (immune to decay).
-    TRIGGERS: create_trigger to set reactive rules on your memory graph
-    TYPES:    episodic (fast fade), semantic (slow), preference, procedural (slowest), fact
-    ⚠️ Context build failed this turn — use memory_recall to search manually.
