-Version `5.3.30` is the current packaged-runtime line: four read-only CLI commands (`nexo schema`, `nexo identity`, `nexo onboard`, `nexo scan-profile`) let external UIs like NEXO Desktop auto-adapt to the editable schema, canonical identity, onboarding wizard, and profile heuristics without hardcoding fields.
+Version `5.4.0` is the current packaged-runtime line: runtime event bus at `~/.nexo/runtime/events.ndjson`, `nexo notify` for one-shot proactive events, `nexo health --json` for a rolled-up subsystem snapshot, `nexo logs --tail --json` for structured log access, and a safe flat→nested migration for `calibration.json` on older installs.
 
-Previously in `5.3.29`: duplicate `* 2` artifacts now fail hygiene gates instead of hiding in the tree, packaged/runtime update paths converge on one canonical core, startup preflight runs synchronously, corrupt DB state no longer respawns an empty brain by default, and cron runs spool locally when SQLite is unavailable.

+"""Calibration migration — flat → nested schema for calibration.json.
+
+Older NEXO installations wrote calibration.json with flat top-level keys
+(user_name, autonomy, role…). The canonical shape is nested
+(user.name, personality.autonomy, meta.role). This module detects the
+flat shape and migrates to nested with a backup.
+
+Design:
+  - Backup lives at calibration.json.pre-migrate-<version>
+  - Unknown fields are preserved verbatim under `legacy_unmapped`
+  - Revert is just: cp backup → calibration.json
+  - Idempotent: if already nested, returns OK without touching the file
+
+No network, no DB. Pure file I/O so it can run from any runtime.

+"""Runtime events bus — append-only NDJSON stream at ~/.nexo/runtime/events.ndjson.
+
+NEXO Brain writes events that external UIs (NEXO Desktop, mobile, web)
+can tail for real-time attention signals, proactive messages, health
+alerts, and general notifications.
+
+Contract:
+  - One JSON object per line. No multi-line JSON.
+  - Monotonic `id` (integer) and `ts` (unix seconds, float).
+  - Stable event envelope keys: id, ts, type, priority, text, reason,
+    source, extra. Unknown keys are preserved.
+  - File is append-only. Rotation happens at 5 MB: current file is
+    renamed to events-<ts>.ndjson and a fresh empty file is created.
+  - Readers tail the current file; rotation is transparent because the
+    file is reopened after rename detection.
+
+Event types (stable):
+  attention_required  — user should look at something
+  proactive_message   — Brain wants to initiate dialogue
+  followup_alert      — overdue or urgent followup
+  health_alert        — a core system is degraded
+  info                — general update, no attention needed
+
+Priorities: "low" | "normal" | "high" | "urgent"
