-### 💰 Token-Economic Memory & Surprisal Gates (v9.0)
-Standard agents dump repetitive garbage into vector databases until they bankrupt your API budget and choke their own context windows. Prism introduces a **Persistent Cognitive Budget** with Universal Basic Income (UBI). Before saving, Prism calculates the semantic novelty (Surprisal) of the thought. Redundant boilerplate is penalized with a 2× cost multiplier; novel insights are rewarded. The agent is mathematically forced to learn compression.
-
-### 🎭 Affect-Tagged Emotional Routing (v9.0)
-Standard RAG retrieves documents based on similarity, not success rate. Prism tags experience events with **Valence** (-1.0 to +1.0). Highly emotional memories (catastrophic failures or massive successes) receive an affective salience boost during retrieval. If an agent heads down an architectural path that previously caused outages, Prism injects a preemptive `⚠️ Historical Friction` warning, giving your AI a "gut feeling" about bad code.
-
 ### 🧠 Your Agent Learns From Mistakes
 When you correct your agent, Prism tracks it. Corrections accumulate **importance** over time. High-importance lessons auto-surface as warnings in future sessions — and can even sync to your `.cursorrules` file for permanent enforcement. Your agent literally gets smarter the more you use it.

 ### 🌐 Autonomous Web Scholar
 Prism researches while you sleep. A background pipeline searches the web, scrapes articles, synthesizes findings via LLM, and injects results directly into your semantic memory — fully searchable on your next session. Brave Search → Firecrawl scrape → LLM synthesis → Prism ledger. Task-aware, Hivemind-integrated, and zero-config when API keys are missing (falls back to Yahoo + Readability).
 
-### Dark Factory — Adversarial Autonomous Pipelines
+### 🏭 Dark Factory — Adversarial Autonomous Pipelines
 When you trigger a Dark Factory pipeline, Prism doesn't just run your task — it fights itself to produce high-quality output. A `PLAN_CONTRACT` step locks a machine-parseable rubric before any code is written. After execution, an **Adversarial Evaluator** (in a fully isolated context) scores the output against the rubric. It cannot pass the Generator without providing exact file and line evidence for every failing criterion. Failed evaluations inject the critique directly into the Generator's retry prompt so it's never flying blind. The result: security issues, regressions, and lazy debug logs caught autonomously — before you ever see the PR. → [See it in action](examples/adversarial-eval-demo/README.md)

 Vector math measures *semantic similarity*, not *sentiment*. If an agent searches for "Authentication Architecture," standard RAG will return two past approaches—it doesn't know that Approach A caused a 3-day production outage, while Approach B worked perfectly.
 
 *   **Affective Salience:** Prism automatically tags experience events with a `valence` score (-1.0 for failure, +1.0 for success).
 *   **Emotional Retrieval:** At retrieval time, the absolute magnitude (`|valence|`) significantly boosts the memory's ranking score. Extreme failures and extreme successes surface to the top.

-| **Agent output** | Summarizes the design doc | Summarizes the design doc **and warns about the unresolved auth issue** |
-| **Discovery tag** | — | `[🌐 Synapse]` marks the auth bug node, proving the engine found context the user didn't ask for |

-**Key design decisions:**
-
-| Mechanism | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| **Dampened Fan Effect** (`1/ln(degree+e)`) | Prevents hub nodes from flooding results |
-| **Asymmetric Propagation** (fwd 100%, back 50%) | Preserves causal directionality |
-| **Cyclic Loop Prevention** (`visitedEdges` set) | Prevents infinite energy amplification |
-| **Sigmoid Normalization** | Structural scores can't overwhelm semantic base |
-| **Lateral Inhibition** | Caps output to top-K most energized nodes |
-| **Hybrid Scoring** (70% semantic / 30% structural) | Base relevance always matters |
-
-> 💡 Synapse is **non-fatal** — if the graph traversal fails for any reason, search gracefully returns the original semantic matches. Zero risk of degraded search.

-- **On-premises deployment** — Air-gapped installations with full SQLite local mode, zero cloud dependency
-- **SSO & RBAC** — Enterprise authentication and role-based access control for multi-team Hivemind deployments
-- **SLA-backed support** — Priority issue resolution, architecture review, and upgrade planning
-
-### 🔬 Research & Institutional Partnerships
-- **Academic collaborations** — Prism's cognitive architecture is grounded in peer-reviewed research (ACT-R, Hebbian learning, SDM, HDC). We partner with research labs working on agent memory, cognitive modeling, and neurosymbolic AI.
-- **Grant-funded integrations** — We work with institutions applying for NSF, DARPA, or EU Horizon grants that require production-grade agent memory infrastructure.
