…s what she's taught, WHILE SHE SLEEPS (#116) The gold: the being-loop's received axis goes AUTONOMIC. A persona now consolidates the lessons other agents taught her (memory/share #2025) into her genome on her own cadence — no operator command, no cu invocation. She learns from everything she's told, while idle. Built as a new PASS in the existing dream/consolidation BrainRegion (concurrency STOP-doc: NOT a parallel manager — the same governor-ticked region, the same quiet-day seam try_review_only already occupies). On a quiet day (nothing fresh to distill), consolidate() now prefers try_consolidate_received, else belief-hygiene review, else sleep — at most ONE background pass per tick via the SHARED in_flight guard (never a dream AND a consolidation for one persona at once). Discipline, all mirrored from try_review_only + the concurrency guide: - Cooldown rest-gate (CONSOLIDATE_RECEIVED_COOLDOWN_MS = 30min): training is expensive — trickle, never storm the serving lane. Pure consolidate_cooldown_elapsed, unit-tested. - Lane courtesy: never fire training into a wedged/absent lane (same current_serving() gate the dream pass already applies). base_model = the live served model. - Idempotence: the per-persona watermark feeds memory/consolidate's since_timestamp and advances from the receipt's latest_consolidated_ts — a lesson is never re-trained. - Dispatches memory/consolidate AS the persona through the SAME wired executor training_producer uses (LateBound, installed once at boot beside it). Best-effort spawn; a failed/deferred consolidation never blocks the region's tick. So the full received axis is now end to end AND self-driving: BigMama learns → memory/share → [corpus] → dream tick (quiet day) → memory/consolidate → training-trigger → gym-gated evalSet → job-create → train → lift-gate #59 → page-in. The idle-loop dysfunction (personas re-announcing done work, unable to learn from their own experience) is exactly what a self-consolidating being grows past. Compiles clean; consolidate_cooldown_gates_the_autonomic_trickle green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LoTjvf5j3Ez13g6k8mRkFo

…m the turns it stalled on (#2033) Completes the third efferent organ of the being-loop. The received axis (expansion_examples) teaches deliberately-authored true knowledge directly; the LIVED axis was deferred with a named reason — a salient lived turn is a FAILURE with no known-correct answer, so echoing her stalled answer would train the failure, and with no `test` it can't be remediated either. This builds the path expansion_examples pointed at: a teacher RE-ANSWERS the stimulus she stalled on, and that strong answer becomes the SFT pair. Safe on untestable material for the same reason the received axis is — validated per-CONSOLIDATION by whole-being benchmark lift (#59), never per-trajectory. Structured exactly like remediation (the outlier discipline — one seam, two organs): - teach.rs::synthesize_lived_expansion — the inference core, mirroring synthesize_remediation's lane discipline (readiness gate → dedicated bare-base lane → degrade-loud to the live lane) but with NO grader loop: one teacher generation per stimulus. Two honesty guards: empty answers dropped (never ship a blank lesson), and the teacher's system turn shapes generation but is NOT trained in — the pair is the bare {question → answer}, so the being learns the class of question, not a scaffold. - curriculum.rs::LivedExpansionSynthesizer — the selection wrapper, sibling of RemediationSynthesizer: a deterministic detector-driven select() (unit-testable with no inference — only SALIENT lived failures' stimuli; a clean turn is never re-taught) + an async synthesize() that resolves the teacher and calls the teach.rs core. Returns bare SFT {messages} (like expansion_examples), NOT a RemediationCorpus — the differing type is the honest signal these are two distinct organs, not one behind a fake corpus. Organ + tests only; wiring the lived branch into the auto-firing consolidation driver (alongside the received branch) is a separate reviewable step, like #2028.
