+ * Phase 130.7-02 Task 2 -- bin/local-chain-recommender.cjs
+ * ========================================================
+ * The Tier-LOCAL sibling of lib/brain/chain-recommender.cjs
+ * recommendCanonicalTargets. It walks the room's recent memory_event references
+ * and AGGREGATES them BY correlation_id (not by name), returning the SAME
+ *   { correlation_id, canonical_name, primary_label }
+ * tuple shape the Brain-side recommender returns -- ranked by local aggregate
+ * weight (recency-weighted reference count). Because both sides compute the id
+ * via the one lib/core/correlation.cjs chokepoint, the local aggregate key
+ * equals the Brain node key, so the dual-graph join works BY CONSTRUCTION.
+ *
+ * Tier-LOCAL is the whole point: it NEVER requires the Brain. When the Brain is
+ * available it MAY reconcile against the Brain canonical (a value-equality check
+ * on correlation_id -- no fork because the id is canonical), but a Brain-down
+ * room still returns canonical tuples from local aggregates alone.
+ *
+ * Canon Part 9 (the navigation chokepoint): bin/ is NOT on the substrate
+ * allow-list, so this script reaches room.db ONLY through lib/core/navigation.cjs
+ * (openRoomDbForCaller / findRecentChanges / closeRoomDbForCaller). It never
+ * reaches the room-db module or the sqlite binding directly -- a direct import
+ * of either would trip scripts/check-substrate.cjs.
+ *
+ * Canon Part 8: a memory_event reference carries a correlation_id hash scalar
+ * (the Task 3 threading); the aggregate is over hashes + label enums + public
+ * methodology handles, never user content. Zero network surface here.
+ *
+ * Graceful degradation: an absent room.db (Tier 0 cold start) yields [] -- never
+ * a crash. Mirrors scripts/suggest-next-command.cjs Tier-0 degrade idiom.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   node bin/local-chain-recommender.cjs
+ *   node bin/local-chain-recommender.cjs --room /path/to/room
+ *   node bin/local-chain-recommender.cjs --since <epochMs>

+// Provenance: the Theo consult's GUARD-01
+// (/home/jsagi/Theo/src/mcp/register-content-tool.ts, a different repo, read
+// only) measured that a plain zod raw-shape input schema silently ACCEPTS an
+// undeclared key and drops it before the handler ever sees it -- a call
+// carrying {question:'x', roomSecret:'LEAK'} succeeds, the handler receives
+// only {question:'x'}, and nothing logs, rejects, or traces the extra field.
+// A Part 8 violation the content classifier structurally cannot see, because
+// classify() only ever inspects keys the schema declared.
+//
+// MEASURED THIS PHASE, on this repo's own installed pins (see
+// tests/test-257-strict-input-shapes.cjs Arms Z1-Z3): the same gap exists
+// here. A strict zod object shape closes it: safeParse rejects with an
+// unrecognized_keys issue instead of silently dropping the field.
+//
+// MEASURED MECHANISM (Arm Z4, do not "simplify" this back to the OLD
+// positional registration form). The SDK's positional tool-registration
+// overload (name, description, schema, callback) detects its schema
+// argument with isZodRawShapeCompat, which returns FALSE for a ZodObject
+// instance (a ZodObject is a schema, not a raw shape) -- so passing a strict
+// zod object positionally falls into the annotations branch and THROWS
+// ("expected a Zod schema or ToolAnnotations, but received an unrecognized
+// object"). The config-object registration overload used below (name,
+// {description, inputSchema}, callback) routes inputSchema through
+// getZodSchemaObject, which returns a ZodObject unchanged -- this is the
+// only form that preserves strictness on the pinned SDK, which is why every
+// registration in this file was migrated to it.

+// Phase 339, 2026-09-03 (D-13, PREP half). The plugin is between two Brain
+// backends for the duration of the Theo cutover soak: the tool descriptions
+// below no longer name a specific graph engine, embedding model, or auth
+// tier, because any such claim is wrong on one side of the flip. Backend-
+// agnostic wording is true on BOTH sides at every moment of the soak.
+//
+// What these edits deliberately do NOT change: tool NAMES (verify-release
+// gate 19 checks these against every hooks.json Brain matcher and every
+// agent allowed-tools entry -- renaming a tool would break that gate, a
+// description edit cannot); and connector declarations (those live in
+// markdown frontmatter, not in this CJS file, which is why neither
