* feat: add task queue system for Timmy - all work goes through the queue
- Add queue position tracking to task_queue models with task_type field
- Add TaskProcessor class that consumes tasks from queue one at a time
- Modify chat route to queue all messages for async processing
- Chat responses get 'high' priority to jump ahead of thought tasks
- Add queue status API endpoints for position polling
- Update UI to show queue position (x/y) and current task banner
- Replace thinking loop with task-based approach - thoughts are queued tasks
- Push responses to user via WebSocket instead of immediate HTTP response
- Add database migrations for existing tables
* feat: Timmy drains task queue on startup, backlogs unhandleable tasks
On spin-up, Timmy now iterates through all pending/approved tasks
immediately instead of waiting for the polling loop. Tasks without a
registered handler or with permanent errors are moved to a new
BACKLOGGED status with a reason, keeping the queue clear for work
Timmy can actually do.

This commit replaces the previous memory_layers.py with a proper three-tier
memory system as specified by the user:
## Tier 1 — Hot Memory (MEMORY.md)
- Single flat file always loaded into system context
- Contains: current status, standing rules, agent roster, key decisions
- ~300 lines max, pruned monthly
- Managed by HotMemory class
## Tier 2 — Structured Vault (memory/)
- Directory with three namespaces:
• self/ — identity.md, user_profile.md, methodology.md
• notes/ — session logs, AARs, research
• aar/ — post-task retrospectives
- Markdown format, Obsidian-compatible
- Append-only, date-stamped
- Managed by VaultMemory class
## Handoff Protocol
- last-session-handoff.md written at session end
- Contains: summary, key decisions, open items, next steps
- Auto-loaded at next session start
- Maintains continuity across resets
## Implementation
### New Files:
- src/timmy/memory_system.py — Core memory system
- MEMORY.md — Hot memory template
- memory/self/*.md — Identity, user profile, methodology
### Modified:
- src/timmy/agent.py — Integrated with memory system
- create_timmy() injects memory context
- TimmyWithMemory class with automatic fact extraction
- tests/test_agent.py — Updated for memory context
## Key Principles
- Hot memory = small and curated
- Vault = append-only, never delete
- Handoffs = continuity mechanism
- Flat files = human-readable, portable
## Usage
All 973 tests pass.
