+/**
+ * Mental-model bootstrap, caching, and rendering for the Hindsight backend.
+ *
+ * Mental models are persisted, named summaries on the Hindsight server. They
+ * are populated by a background reflect at create time and refreshed
+ * automatically when consolidation runs (`refresh_after_consolidation: true`).
+ *
+ * This module:
+ *   1. **Seeds** a small, curated set of mental models on first session boot
+ *      for a given bank (idempotent: never modifies an existing model).
+ *   2. **Loads** the seeded + any operator-curated models into a cached
+ *      `<mental_models>` block that the backend splices into developer
+ *      instructions on every prompt rebuild — bypassing per-turn recall HTTP
+ *      cost for stable knowledge.
+ *   3. **Renders** content blocks with anti-feedback wrappers so the LLM
+ *      treats them as background knowledge, not as commands (mirrors the
+ *      `<memories>` warning).
+ *
+ * Tag discipline (foot-gun):
+ * The Hindsight refresh path filters source memories with `all_strict` tag
+ * matching against the model's tags. A seed tagged with something we never
+ * write at retain time will refresh empty. Therefore seed tags MUST be a
+ * subset of the tags actually attached by `retainSession` / `enqueueRetain`
+ * for the active scoping mode. In `per-project-tagged` we only carry
+ * `project:<cwd>`; do not invent new tag axes here without first wiring the
+ * retain side to emit them.
+ *
+ * Seed tags are baked from `seeds.json` plus, for `projectTagged: true`
+ * entries, the active scope's `retainTags` (i.e. `project:<cwd>`). In
+ * `per-project-tagged`, those project seeds also get project-suffixed ids so
+ * each tag can own its conventions/decisions models in the shared bank.
+ * Untagged seeds (e.g. `user-preferences`) read every memory in the bank — the
+ * reflect call applies no tag filter when `tags` is empty.
+ *
+ * Seed lifecycle is **create-only**: changes to `source_query`, `tags`,
+ * `max_tokens`, or `trigger` in `seeds.json` will NOT propagate to existing
+ * models on the server. Operators who want a structural change must
+ * `/memory mm refresh <id>` (content-only) or `/memory mm delete <id>`
+ * followed by a re-seed.
