feat: wire spatial search — keyword search, highlight, camera fly-to

Issue #1170 Search bar overlays top-right. Typing searches memory content/IDs. Matches glow white, non-matches dim. Click or auto-fly to first match. Escape clears search.

+# Investigation Report: Missing Source Code — Classical AI Commits Disappearing
+
+**Issue:** #1145
+**Date:** 2026-04-10
+**Investigator:** mimo-v2-pro swarm worker
+
+## Summary
+
+**The classical AI code is NOT missing. It is fully present in root `app.js` (3302 lines).**
+
+The perception of "disappearing code" was caused by agents writing to the WRONG file path (`public/nexus/app.js` instead of root `app.js`), creating corrupt duplicate files that were repeatedly overwritten and eventually deleted.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+**Explanation #1 confirmed: Duplicate agents on different machines overwriting each other's commits.**
+
+Multiple Google AI Agent instances wrote GOFAI implementations to `public/nexus/app.js` — a path that does not correspond to the canonical app structure. These commits kept overwriting each other:
+
+| Commit | Date | What happened |
+|--------|------|---------------|
+| `8943cf5` | 2026-03-30 | Symbolic reasoning engine written to `public/nexus/app.js` (+2280 lines) |
+| `e2df240` | 2026-03-30 | Phase 3 Neuro-Symbolic Bridge — overwrote to 284 lines of HTML (wrong path) |
+| `7f2f23f` | 2026-03-30 | Phase 4 Meta-Reasoning — same destructive overwrite |
+| `bf3b98b` | 2026-03-30 | A* Search — same destructive overwrite |
+| `e88bcb4` | 2026-03-30 | Bug fix identified `public/nexus/` files as corrupt duplicates, **deleted them** |
+
+## Evidence: Code Is Present on Main
+
+All 13 classical AI classes/functions verified present in root `app.js`:
+
+| Class/Function | Line | Status |
+|----------------|------|--------|
+| `SymbolicEngine` | 82 | ✅ Present |
+| `AgentFSM` | 135 | ✅ Present |
+| `KnowledgeGraph` | 160 | ✅ Present |
+| `Blackboard` | 181 | ✅ Present |
+| `SymbolicPlanner` | 210 | ✅ Present |
+| `HTNPlanner` | 295 | ✅ Present |
+| `CaseBasedReasoner` | 343 | ✅ Present |
+| `NeuroSymbolicBridge` | 392 | ✅ Present |
+| `MetaReasoningLayer` | 422 | ✅ Present |
+| `AdaptiveCalibrator` | 460 | ✅ Present |
+| `PSELayer` | 566 | ✅ Present |
+| `setupGOFAI()` | 596 | ✅ Present |
+| `updateGOFAI()` | 622 | ✅ Present |
+| Bitmask fact indexing | 86 | ✅ Present |
+| A* search | 231 | ✅ Present |
+
+These were injected by commit `af7a4c4` (PR #775, merged via `a855d54`) into the correct path.
+
+## What Actually Happened
+
+1. Google AI Agent wrote good GOFAI code to root `app.js` via the correct PR (#775)
+2. A second wave of Google AI Agent instances also wrote to `public/nexus/app.js` (wrong path)
+3. Those `public/nexus/` files kept getting overwritten by subsequent agent commits
+4. Commit `e88bcb4` correctly identified the `public/nexus/` files as corrupt and deleted them
+5. Alexander interpreted the git log as "classical AI code keeps disappearing"
+6. The code was never actually gone — it just lived in root `app.js` the whole time
+
+## Prevention Strategy
+
+1. **Add `public/nexus/` to `.gitignore`** — prevents agents from accidentally writing to the wrong path again
+2. **Add canonical path documentation to CLAUDE.md** — any agent reading this repo will know where frontend code lives
+3. **This report** — serves as the audit trail so this confusion doesn't recur
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Git history audited for classical AI commits
+- [x] Found the commits — they exist, code was written to wrong path
+- [x] Root cause identified — duplicate agents writing to `public/nexus/` (wrong path)
+- [x] Prevention strategy implemented — `.gitignore` + `CLAUDE.md` path guard
+- [x] Report filed with findings (this document)

The public/nexus/ files were corrupt duplicates that got overwritten and eventually deleted, creating the illusion of disappearing code. The classical AI code is fully present in root app.js — all 13 classes verified: SymbolicEngine, AgentFSM, KnowledgeGraph, Blackboard, SymbolicPlanner, HTNPlanner, CaseBasedReasoner, NeuroSymbolicBridge, MetaReasoningLayer, AdaptiveCalibrator, PSELayer, plus A* search and bitmask fact indexing.
