-// lesson-store.mjs — a lesson is an EXECUTABLE OBJECT, not a paragraph.
-//
-// THE ONE IDEA. Every previous attempt to make this agent learn stored lessons as PROSE, and prose
-// has no trigger — nothing in the system can ask "does this apply right now?", so the only mechanism
-// left is the model remembering to care. Measured over a single session (2026-07-21/22):
-//
-//     gates that could interrupt:  8 fired,  8 obeyed   (100%)
-//     prose in CLAUDE.md:          6 chances, 0 obeyed   (the version-bump rule)
-//
-// Same model, same session, same sincere intentions. The only variable was whether the knowledge
-// could interrupt. That is the whole finding, and this file is its consequence: a lesson that cannot
-// name WHEN it fires is not storable here. The schema refuses it — the same discipline as
-// console-engine.makeRecommendation(), which throws on a recommendation with no undo, and for the
-// same reason: the invariant belongs in the type, not in a reviewer's memory.
-//
-// THE SECOND IDEA, which is what makes this honest rather than tidy. Not every lesson can be a gate.
-// "I optimize for gradeable work over valuable work" is a bias in what I CHOOSE to do; no hook can
-// observe it. Pretending it were gateable would be the exact failure (rounding truth to a satisfying
-// shape) that produced the bug this file exists to fix. So `enforcement: 'review'` is a first-class,
-// declared value meaning THIS CANNOT BE AUTOMATED — and a lesson that claims it can be blocked must
-// prove it by naming a trigger a real hook can observe.

- *
- *   "Repeat count is a contaminated proxy: frequency of opportunity × failure visibility × user
- *    patience × capture duplication... A formatting preference corrected 52 times dominates a
- *    security rule corrected once because the security failure occurred only once. Darwin produces

- * with how often a situation ARISES, which is nearly uncorrelated with how much it matters. A rule
- * about naming fires on every file; a rule about not leaking credentials fires once a year.
- *
- * So repetition is LOG-CAPPED (it may raise priority, never establish truth), severity is an
