Per direction shift (#542). Thin summarization step, not new infrastructure.

Task

At heartbeat startup, compress recent episodic memories into a system prompt injection:

  1. On startup, query experience_store for recent entries (last 24h or last session)
  2. Feed them through the model with a summarization prompt
  3. Inject the compressed summary into the system prompt for the new session

Use existing experience_store.py + Ollama model. One Python function, called at startup.

Acceptance criteria

Timmy's first message after restart references events from the previous session accurately.

Research update — 2026-03-27

Morning briefing likely belongs on cron, not heartbeat. Keep exact scheduled delivery separate from the broader continuity/compressed-memory problem.

v0.4.0 Overlap — Reframe

Hermes v0.4.0 delivered:

  • Context compression overhaul — structured summaries with iterative updates (#2323)
  • Background memory/skill review replacing inline nudges (#2235)
  • Session search and management slash commands (#2198)
  • Auto session titles (#1712)

The compressed memory injection machinery now exists in the harness. Don't homebrew a morning briefing system.

Action: Reframe to "Configure Hermes built-in session search + compression for morning briefings." Wire a cron job that uses session_search to pull yesterday's context and inject it as the morning prompt. Plug in tools, don't build.

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
