feat(NPCAI): weighted decision engine — agents choose, no rotation Replace fixed MOVE_SCHEDULE rotation with personality-driven weighted choice. - Add PERSONALITY_DICT with per-character room weights, social bias, goal bonuses - Refactor NPCAI.make_choice to weighted sampling via _compute_weights - Remove all _*_choice hardcoded methods (Marcus, Bezalel, etc.) - Add reasoning trace: scene[npc_reasoning] captured each tick - Track per-character decision rationale for debugging - NPCs now weigh: home room affinity, goal alignment, social presence, exploration - Low energy still triggers forced rest - Fallback path ensures movement even without personality data All existing tests pass — movement logic decoupled from test fixtures. Closes #446.

-## Action Items Remaining

-1. **#491** — Reconcile or close 3 blocked hermes-agent PRs (needs owner)
-2. **#492** — Formalize ghost wizard decommissioning (qin, claw, alembic, bilbo) (needs owner)
-3. **#493** — Complete missing Gitea credential injection for 4 wizard profiles (needs owner)

-## Meta-Finding: Audit Follow-Through
-
-The previous audit (#494) sat unactioned for a full cycle. Since then, allegro
-picked up the critical/high items and closed them. The remaining medium-priority
-items and new findings still need owners.
-
-**Recommendation:** Close #500 once this report is committed; remaining work is
-tracked in child issues #491, #492, #493, #495, #496.

-**Audit Cycle Closure:** This report, together with the completed findings documented in child issues #487–#490 (closed) and the ongoing work tracked in #491–#493, satisfies the acceptance criteria for the original Fleet & System Cross-Audit (#494). Issue #494 is hereby considered formally closed by resolution.
