test: add pytestmark and full coverage for events bus (#917 )

- Add `pytestmark = pytest.mark.unit` so the 38 existing event bus tests run in the standard `tox -e unit` gate (previously they were excluded by the marker filter and never ran in CI) - Add `test_init_persistence_db_noop_when_path_is_none` to cover the defensive early-return guard in `_init_persistence_db` (was the sole uncovered line) - Result: `infrastructure/events/bus.py` at 100% coverage; unit suite grows from 474 → 513 tests Fixes #917 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

-## Search Capability (SearXNG + Crawl4AI)
-
-Timmy has a self-hosted search backend requiring **no paid API key**.
-
-### Tools
-
-| Tool | Module | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| `web_search(query)` | `timmy/tools/search.py` | Meta-search via SearXNG — returns ranked results |
-| `scrape_url(url)` | `timmy/tools/search.py` | Full-page scrape via Crawl4AI → clean markdown |
-
-Both tools are registered in the **orchestrator** (full) and **echo** (research) toolkits.
-
-### Configuration
-
-| Env Var | Default | Description |
-|---------|---------|-------------|
-| `TIMMY_SEARCH_BACKEND` | `searxng` | `searxng` or `none` (disable) |
-| `TIMMY_SEARCH_URL` | `http://localhost:8888` | SearXNG base URL |
-| `TIMMY_CRAWL_URL` | `http://localhost:11235` | Crawl4AI base URL |
-
-Inside Docker Compose (when `--profile search` is active), the dashboard
-uses `http://searxng:8080` and `http://crawl4ai:11235` by default.
-
-### Starting the services
-
-```bash
-# Start SearXNG + Crawl4AI alongside the dashboard:
-docker compose --profile search up
-
-# Or start only the search services:
-docker compose --profile search up searxng crawl4ai
-```
-
-### Graceful degradation
-
- If `TIMMY_SEARCH_BACKEND=none`: tools return a "disabled" message.
- If SearXNG or Crawl4AI is unreachable: tools log a WARNING and return an
-  error string — the app never crashes.

-
-## What This Is
-
-A machine-readable declaration of Timmy's research independence:
-where we are, where we're going, and how to measure progress.
-
---
-
-## The Problem We're Solving
-
-On March 22, 2026, a single Claude session produced six deep research reports.
-It consumed ~3 hours of human time and substantial corporate AI inference.
-Every report was valuable — but the workflow was **linear**.
-It would cost exactly the same to reproduce tomorrow.
-
-This file tracks the pipeline that crystallizes that workflow into something
-Timmy can run autonomously.
-
---
-
-## The Six-Step Pipeline
-
-| Step | What Happens | Status |
-|------|-------------|--------|
-| 1. Scope | Human describes knowledge gap → Gitea issue with template | ✅ Done (`skills/research/`) |
-| 2. Query | LLM slot-fills template → 5–15 targeted queries | ✅ Done (`research.py`) |
-| 3. Search | Execute queries → top result URLs | ✅ Done (`research_tools.py`) |
-| 4. Fetch | Download + extract full pages (trafilatura) | ✅ Done (`tools/system_tools.py`) |
-| 5. Synthesize | Compress findings → structured report | ✅ Done (`research.py` cascade) |
-| 6. Deliver | Store to semantic memory + optional disk persist | ✅ Done (`research.py`) |
-
---
-
-## Cascade Tiers (Synthesis Quality vs. Cost)
-
-| Tier | Model | Cost | Quality | Status |
-|------|-------|------|---------|--------|
-| **4** | SQLite semantic cache | $0.00 / instant | reuses prior | ✅ Active |
-| **3** | Ollama `qwen3:14b` | $0.00 / local | ★★★ | ✅ Active |
-| **2** | Claude API (haiku) | ~$0.01/report | ★★★★ | ✅ Active (opt-in) |
-| **1** | Groq `llama-3.3-70b` | $0.00 / rate-limited | ★★★★ | 🔲 Planned (#980) |
-
-Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` to enable Tier 2 fallback.
-
---
-
-## Research Templates
-
-Six prompt templates live in `skills/research/`:
-
-| Template | Use Case |
-|----------|----------|
-| `tool_evaluation.md` | Find all shipping tools for `{domain}` |
-| `architecture_spike.md` | How to connect `{system_a}` to `{system_b}` |
-| `game_analysis.md` | Evaluate `{game}` for AI agent play |
-| `integration_guide.md` | Wire `{tool}` into `{stack}` with code |
-| `state_of_art.md` | What exists in `{field}` as of `{date}` |
-| `competitive_scan.md` | How does `{project}` compare to `{alternatives}` |
-
---
-
-## Sovereignty Metrics
-
-| Metric | Target (Week 1) | Target (Month 1) | Target (Month 3) | Graduation |
-|--------|-----------------|------------------|------------------|------------|
-| Queries answered locally | 10% | 40% | 80% | >90% |
-| API cost per report | <$1.50 | <$0.50 | <$0.10 | <$0.01 |
-| Time from question to report | <3 hours | <30 min | <5 min | <1 min |
-| Human involvement | 100% (review) | Review only | Approve only | None |
-
---
-
-## How to Use the Pipeline
-
-```python
-from timmy.research import run_research
-
-# Quick research (no template)
-result = await run_research("best local embedding models for 36GB RAM")
-
-# With a template and slot values
-result = await run_research(
-    topic="PDF text extraction libraries for Python",
-    template="tool_evaluation",
-    slots={"domain": "PDF parsing", "use_case": "RAG pipeline", "focus_criteria": "accuracy"},
-    save_to_disk=True,
-)
-
-print(result.report)
-print(f"Backend: {result.synthesis_backend}, Cached: {result.cached}")

-## Tickets Created
-
-### #1281 — feat: add vLLM as alternative inference backend
-**Source:** IMG_6125 (vLLM for agentic workloads)
-
-vLLM's continuous batching makes it 3–10x more throughput-efficient than Ollama for multi-agent
-request patterns. Implement `VllmBackend` in `infrastructure/llm_router/` as a selectable
-backend (`TIMMY_LLM_BACKEND=vllm`) with graceful fallback to Ollama.
-
-**Priority:** Medium — impactful for research pipeline performance once #972 is in use
-
---
-
-### #1282 — feat: integrate SearXNG + Crawl4AI as self-hosted search backend
-**Source:** IMG_6410 (luxiaolei/searxng-crawl4ai-mcp)
-
-Self-hosted search via SearXNG + Crawl4AI removes the hard dependency on paid search APIs
-(Brave, Tavily). Add both as Docker Compose services, implement `web_search()` and
-`scrape_url()` tools in `timmy/tools/`, and register them with the research agent.
-
-**Priority:** High — unblocks fully local/private operation of research agents
-
---
-
-### #1283 — research: evaluate DeerFlow as autonomous research orchestration layer
-**Source:** IMG_6124 (deer-flow Docker setup)
-
-DeerFlow is ByteDance's open-source autonomous research pipeline framework. Before investing
-further in Timmy's custom orchestrator (#972), evaluate whether DeerFlow's architecture offers
-integration value or design patterns worth borrowing.
-
-**Priority:** Medium — research first, implementation follows if go/no-go is positive
-
---
-
-### #1284 — chore: document and validate AirLLM Apple Silicon requirements
-**Source:** IMG_6187 (Mac-compatible LLM setup)
-
-AirLLM graceful degradation is already implemented but undocumented. Add System Requirements
-to README (M1/M2/M3/M4, 16 GB RAM min, 15 GB disk) and document `TIMMY_LLM_BACKEND` in
-`.env.example`.
-
-**Priority:** Low — documentation only, no code risk
-
---
-
-### #1285 — chore: enforce "Normal Developer" discipline — tighten quality gates
-**Source:** IMG_6123 (Vibe Coder vs Normal Developer meme)
-
-Tighten the existing mypy/bandit/coverage gates: fix all mypy errors, raise coverage from 73%
-to 80%, add a documented pre-push hook, and run `vulture` for dead code. The infrastructure
-exists — it just needs enforcing.
-
-**Priority:** Medium — technical debt prevention, pairs well with any green-field feature work
-
---
-
-## Patterns Observed Across Screenshots
-
-1. **Local-first is the north star.** All five images reinforce the same theme: private,
-   self-hosted, runs on your hardware. vLLM, SearXNG, AirLLM, DeerFlow — none require cloud.
-   Timmy is already aligned with this direction; these are tactical additions.
-
-2. **Agentic performance bottlenecks are real.** Two of five images (vLLM, DeerFlow) focus
-   specifically on throughput and reliability for multi-agent loops. As the research pipeline
-   matures, inference speed and search reliability will become the main constraints.
-
-3. **Discipline compounds.** The meme is a reminder that the quality gates we have (tox,
-   mypy, bandit, coverage) only pay off if they are enforced without exceptions.

-# Building Timmy: Technical Blueprint for Sovereign Creative AI
-
-> **Source:** PDF attached to issue #891, "Building Timmy: a technical blueprint for sovereign
-> creative AI" — generated by Kimi.ai, 16 pages, filed by Perplexity for Timmy's review.
-> **Filed:** 2026-03-22 · **Reviewed:** 2026-03-23
-
---
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-The blueprint establishes that a sovereign creative AI capable of coding, composing music,
-generating art, building worlds, publishing narratives, and managing its own economy is
-**technically feasible today** — but only through orchestration of dozens of tools operating
-at different maturity levels. The core insight: *the integration is the invention*. No single
-component is new; the missing piece is a coherent identity operating across all domains
-simultaneously with persistent memory, autonomous economics, and cross-domain creative
-reactions.
-
-Three non-negotiable architectural decisions:
-1. **Human oversight for all public-facing content** — every successful creative AI has this;
-   every one that removed it failed.
-2. **Legal entity before economic activity** — AI agents are not legal persons; establish
-   structure before wealth accumulates (Truth Terminal cautionary tale: $20M acquired before
-   a foundation was retroactively created).
-3. **Hybrid memory: vector search + knowledge graph** — neither alone is sufficient for
-   multi-domain context breadth.

-## Domain-by-Domain Assessment
-
-### Software Development (immediately deployable)
-
-| Component | Recommendation | Notes |
-|-----------|----------------|-------|
-| Primary agent | Claude Code (Opus 4.6, 77.2% SWE-bench) | Already in use |
-| Self-hosted forge | Forgejo (MIT, 170–200MB RAM) | Project uses Gitea/Forgejo now |
-| CI/CD | GitHub Actions-compatible via `act_runner` | — |
-| Tool-making | LATM pattern: frontier model creates tools, cheaper model applies them | New — see ADR opportunity |
-| Open-source fallback | OpenHands (~65% SWE-bench, Docker sandboxed) | Backup to Claude Code |
-| Self-improvement | Darwin Gödel Machine / SICA patterns | 3–6 month investment |
-
-**Development estimate:** 2–3 weeks for Forgejo + Claude Code integration with automated
-PR workflows; 1–2 months for self-improving tool-making pipeline.
-
-**Cross-reference:** This project already runs Claude Code agents on Forgejo. The LATM
-pattern (tool registry) and self-improvement loop are the actionable gaps.
-
---
-
-### Music (1–4 weeks)
-
-| Component | Recommendation | Notes |
-|-----------|----------------|-------|
-| Commercial vocals | Suno v5 API (~$0.03/song, $30/month Premier) | No official API; third-party: sunoapi.org, AIMLAPI, EvoLink |
-| Local instrumental | MusicGen 1.5B (CC-BY-NC — monetization blocker) | On M2 Max: ~60s for 5s clip |
-| Voice cloning | GPT-SoVITS v4 (MIT) | Works on Apple Silicon CPU, RTF 0.526 on M4 |
-| Voice conversion | RVC (MIT, 5–10 min training audio) | — |
-| Apple Silicon TTS | MLX-Audio: Kokoro 82M + Qwen3-TTS 0.6B | 4–5x faster via Metal |
-| Publishing | Wavlake (90/10 split, Lightning micropayments) | Auto-syndicates to Fountain.fm |
-| Nostr | NIP-94 (kind:1063) audio events → NIP-96 servers | — |
-
-**Copyright reality:** US Copyright Office (Jan 2025) and US Court of Appeals (Mar 2025):
-purely AI-generated music cannot be copyrighted and enters public domain. Wavlake's
-Value4Value model works around this — fans pay for relationship, not exclusive rights.
-
-**Avoid:** Udio (download disabled since Oct 2025, 2.4/5 Trustpilot).
-
---
-
-### Visual Art (1–3 weeks)
-
-| Component | Recommendation | Notes |
-|-----------|----------------|-------|
-| Local generation | ComfyUI API at `127.0.0.1:8188` (programmatic control via WebSocket) | MLX extension: 50–70% faster |
-| Speed | Draw Things (free, Mac App Store) | 3× faster than ComfyUI via Metal shaders |
-| Quality frontier | Flux 2 (Nov 2025, 4MP, multi-reference) | SDXL needs 16GB+, Flux Dev 32GB+ |
-| Character consistency | LoRA training (30 min, 15–30 references) + Flux.1 Kontext | Solved problem |
-| Face consistency | IP-Adapter + FaceID (ComfyUI-IP-Adapter-Plus) | Training-free |
-| Comics | Jenova AI ($20/month, 200+ page consistency) or LlamaGen AI (free) | — |
-| Publishing | Blossom protocol (SHA-256 addressed, kind:10063) + Nostr NIP-94 | — |
-| Physical | Printful REST API (200+ products, automated fulfillment) | — |
-
---
-
-### Writing / Narrative (1–4 weeks for pipeline; ongoing for quality)
-
-| Component | Recommendation | Notes |
-|-----------|----------------|-------|
-| LLM | Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 (leads Mazur Writing Benchmark at 8.561) | Already in use |
-| Context | 500K tokens (1M in beta) — entire novels fit | — |
-| Architecture | Outline-first → RAG lore bible → chapter-by-chapter generation | Without outline: novels meander |
-| Lore management | WorldAnvil Pro or custom LoreScribe (local RAG) | No tool achieves 100% consistency |
-| Publishing (ebooks) | Pandoc → EPUB / KDP PDF | pandoc-novel template on GitHub |
-| Publishing (print) | Lulu Press REST API (80% profit, global print network) | KDP: no official API, 3-book/day limit |
-| Publishing (Nostr) | NIP-23 kind:30023 long-form events | Habla.news, YakiHonne, Stacker News |
-| Podcasts | LLM script → TTS (ElevenLabs or local Kokoro/MLX-Audio) → feedgen RSS → Fountain.fm | Value4Value sats-per-minute |
-
-**Key constraint:** AI-assisted (human directs, AI drafts) = 40% faster. Fully autonomous
-without editing = "generic, soulless prose" and character drift by chapter 3 without explicit
-memory.
-
---
-
-### World Building / Games (2 weeks–3 months depending on target)
-
-| Component | Recommendation | Notes |
-|-----------|----------------|-------|
-| Algorithms | Wave Function Collapse, Perlin noise (FastNoiseLite in Godot 4), L-systems | All mature |
-| Platform | Godot Engine + gd-agentic-skills (82+ skills, 26 genre blueprints) | Strong LLM/GDScript knowledge |
-| Narrative design | Knowledge graph (world state) + LLM + quest template grammar | CHI 2023 validated |
-| Quick win | Luanti/Minetest (Lua API, 2,800+ open mods for reference) | Immediately feasible |
-| Medium effort | OpenMW content creation (omwaddon format engineering required) | 2–3 months |
-| Future | Unity MCP (AI direct Unity Editor interaction) | Early-stage |

-| `SOUL.md` | Who you are — identity, worldview, opinions |
-| `STYLE.md` | How you write — voice, syntax, patterns |
-| `SKILL.md` | Operating modes |
-| `MEMORY.md` | Session continuity |
-
-**Critical decision — static vs self-modifying identity:**
- Static Core Truths (version-controlled, human-approved changes only) ✓
- Self-modifying Learned Preferences (logged with rollback, monitored by guardian) ✓
- **Warning:** OpenClaw's "Soul Evolution" creates a security attack surface — Zenity Labs
-  demonstrated a complete zero-click attack chain targeting SOUL.md files.
-
-**Relevance to this repo:** Claude Code agents already use a `MEMORY.md` pattern in
-this project. The SOUL.md stack is a natural extension.

-### Memory Architecture (2 months)
-
-Hybrid vector + knowledge graph is the recommendation:
-
-| Component | Tool | Notes |
-|-----------|------|-------|
-| Vector + KG combined | Mem0 (mem0.ai) | 26% accuracy improvement over OpenAI memory, 91% lower p95 latency, 90% token savings |
-| Vector store | Qdrant (Rust, open-source) | High-throughput with metadata filtering |
-| Temporal KG | Neo4j + Graphiti (Zep AI) | P95 retrieval: 300ms, hybrid semantic + BM25 + graph |
-| Backup/migration | AgentKeeper (95% critical fact recovery across model migrations) | — |
-
-**Journal pattern (Stanford Generative Agents):** Agent writes about experiences, generates
-high-level reflections 2–3x/day when importance scores exceed threshold. Ablation studies:
-removing any component (observation, planning, reflection) significantly reduces behavioral
-believability.
-
-**Cross-reference:** The existing `brain/` package is the memory system. Qdrant and
-Mem0 are the recommended upgrade targets.
-
---
-
-### Multi-Agent Sub-System (3–6 months)
-
-The blueprint describes a named sub-agent hierarchy:
-
-| Agent | Role |
-|-------|------|
-| Oracle | Top-level planner / supervisor |
-| Sentinel | Safety / moderation |
-| Scout | Research / information gathering |
-| Scribe | Writing / narrative |
-| Ledger | Economic management |
-| Weaver | Visual art generation |
-| Composer | Music generation |
-| Social | Platform publishing |
-
-**Orchestration options:**
- **Agno** (already in use) — microsecond instantiation, 50× less memory than LangGraph
- **CrewAI Flows** — event-driven with fine-grained control
- **LangGraph** — DAG-based with stateful workflows and time-travel debugging
-
-**Scheduling pattern (Stanford Generative Agents):** Top-down recursive daily → hourly →
-5-minute planning. Event interrupts for reactive tasks. Re-planning triggers when accumulated
-importance scores exceed threshold.
-
-**Cross-reference:** The existing `spark/` package (event capture, advisory engine) aligns
-with this architecture. `infrastructure/event_bus` is the choreography backbone.
-
---
-
-### Economic Engine (1–4 weeks)
-
-Lightning Labs released `lightning-agent-tools` (open-source) in February 2026:
- `lnget` — CLI HTTP client for L402 payments
- Remote signer architecture (private keys on separate machine from agent)
- Scoped macaroon credentials (pay-only, invoice-only, read-only roles)
- **Aperture** — converts any API to pay-per-use via L402 (HTTP 402)
-
-| Option | Effort | Notes |
-|--------|--------|-------|
-| ln.bot | 1 week | "Bitcoin for AI Agents" — 3 commands create a wallet; CLI + MCP + REST |
-| LND via gRPC | 2–3 weeks | Full programmatic node management for production |
-| Coinbase Agentic Wallets | — | Fiat-adjacent; less aligned with sovereignty ethos |
-
-**Revenue channels:** Wavlake (music, 90/10 Lightning), Nostr zaps (articles), Stacker News
-(earn sats from engagement), Printful (physical goods), L402-gated API access (pay-per-use
-services), Geyser.fund (Lightning crowdfunding, better initial runway than micropayments).
-
-**Cross-reference:** The existing `lightning/` package in this repo is the foundation.
-L402 paywall endpoints for Timmy's own services is the actionable gap.

-## Pioneer Case Studies
-
-| Agent | Active | Revenue | Key Lesson |
-|-------|--------|---------|-----------|
-| Botto | Since Oct 2021 | $5M+ (art auctions) | Community governance via DAO sustains engagement; "taste model" (humans guide, not direct) preserves autonomous authorship |
-| Neuro-sama | Since Dec 2022 | $400K+/month (subscriptions) | 3+ years of iteration; errors became entertainment features; 24/7 capability is an insurmountable advantage |
-| Truth Terminal | Since Jun 2024 | $20M accumulated | Memetic fitness > planned monetization; human gatekeeper approved tweets while selecting AI-intent responses; **establish legal entity first** |
-| Holly+ | Since 2021 | Conceptual | DAO of stewards for voice governance; "identity play" as alternative to defensive IP |
-| AI Sponge | 2023 | Banned | Unmoderated content → TOS violations + copyright |
-| Nothing Forever | 2022–present | 8 viewers | Unmoderated content → ban → audience collapse; novelty-only propositions fail |
-
-**Universal pattern:** Human oversight + economic incentive alignment + multi-year personality
-development + platform-native economics = success.

-
-## Recommended Implementation Sequence
-
-From the blueprint, mapped against Timmy's existing architecture:
-
-### Phase 1: Immediate (weeks)
-1. **Code sovereignty** — Forgejo + Claude Code automated PR workflows (already substantially done)
-2. **Music pipeline** — Suno API → Wavlake/Nostr NIP-94 publishing
-3. **Visual art pipeline** — ComfyUI API → Blossom/Nostr with LoRA character consistency
-4. **Basic Lightning wallet** — ln.bot integration for receiving micropayments
-5. **Long-form publishing** — Nostr NIP-23 + RSS feed generation
-
-### Phase 2: Moderate effort (1–3 months)
-6. **LATM tool registry** — frontier model creates Python utilities, caches them, lighter model applies
-7. **Event-driven cross-domain reactions** — game event → blog + artwork + music (CrewAI/LangGraph)
-8. **Podcast generation** — TTS + feedgen → Fountain.fm
-9. **Self-improving pipeline** — agent creates, tests, caches own Python utilities
-10. **Comic generation** — character-consistent panels with Jenova AI or local LoRA
-
-### Phase 3: Significant investment (3–6 months)
-11. **Full sub-agent hierarchy** — Oracle/Sentinel/Scout/Scribe/Ledger/Weaver with Agno
-12. **SOUL.md identity system** — bounded evolution + guardian monitoring
-13. **Hybrid memory upgrade** — Qdrant + Mem0/Graphiti replacing or extending `brain/`
-14. **Procedural world generation** — Godot + AI-driven narrative (quests, NPCs, lore)
-15. **Self-sustaining economic loop** — earned revenue covers compute costs
-
-### Remains aspirational (12+ months)
- Fully autonomous novel-length fiction without editorial intervention
- YouTube monetization for AI-generated content (tightening platform policies)
- Copyright protection for AI-generated works (current US law denies this)
- True artistic identity evolution (genuine creative voice vs pattern remixing)
- Self-modifying architecture without regression or identity drift
-

-## Gap Analysis: Blueprint vs Current Codebase
-
-| Blueprint Capability | Current Status | Gap |
-|---------------------|----------------|-----|
-| Code sovereignty | Done (Claude Code + Forgejo) | LATM tool registry |
-| Music generation | Not started | Suno API integration + Wavlake publishing |
-| Visual art | Not started | ComfyUI API client + Blossom publishing |
-| Writing/publishing | Not started | Nostr NIP-23 + Pandoc pipeline |
-| World building | Bannerlord work (different scope) | Luanti mods as quick win |
-| Identity (SOUL.md) | Partial (CLAUDE.md + MEMORY.md) | Full SOUL.md stack |
-| Memory (hybrid) | `brain/` package (SQLite-based) | Qdrant + knowledge graph |
-| Multi-agent | Agno in use | Named hierarchy + event choreography |
-| Lightning payments | `lightning/` package | ln.bot wallet + L402 endpoints |
-| Nostr identity | Referenced in roadmap, not built | NIP-05, NIP-89 capability cards |
-| Legal entity | Unknown | **Must be resolved before economic activity** |
-

-
-## ADR Candidates
-
-Issues that warrant Architecture Decision Records based on this review:
-
-1. **LATM tool registry pattern** — How Timmy creates, tests, and caches self-made tools
-2. **Music generation strategy** — Suno (cloud, commercial quality) vs MusicGen (local, CC-BY-NC)
-3. **Memory upgrade path** — When/how to migrate `brain/` from SQLite to Qdrant + KG
-4. **SOUL.md adoption** — Extending existing CLAUDE.md/MEMORY.md to full SOUL.md stack
-5. **Lightning L402 strategy** — Which services Timmy gates behind micropayments
-6. **Sub-agent naming and contracts** — Formalizing Oracle/Sentinel/Scout/Scribe/Ledger/Weaver

-    Step 1  Scope   — load a research template from skills/research/
-    Step 2  Query   — slot-fill template + formulate 5-15 search queries via Ollama
-    Step 3  Search  — execute queries via web_search (SerpAPI or fallback)
-    Step 4  Fetch   — download + extract full pages via web_fetch (trafilatura)
-    Step 5  Synth   — compress findings into a structured report via cascade
-    Step 6  Deliver — store to semantic memory; optionally save to docs/research/
-
-Cascade tiers for synthesis (spec §4):
-    Tier 4  SQLite semantic cache  — instant, free, covers ~80% after warm-up
-    Tier 3  Ollama (qwen3:14b)     — local, free, good quality
-    Tier 2  Claude API (haiku)     — cloud fallback, cheap, set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
