Initial commit — Cortex API + Inara identity

Cortex: FastAPI backend serving Inara via Claude/Gemini CLI backends.
Includes SSE streaming chat, session persistence, Google Chat webhook
handler, and Docker support.

Inara: Identity files (persona, soul, protocols, memory, context tiers)
mounted read-only into the container at runtime.

Features in initial cut:
- /chat endpoint with SSE keepalive + LLM fallback
- Session store with rolling history window
- Markdown rendering, copy-to-clipboard, links open in new tab
- Stacked right-column input controls (height selector, enter toggle,
  note mode with public/private) — semi-hidden until textarea grows
- /note endpoint for injecting public context into session history
- Docker Compose config (local dev runs natively; Docker for server)

+
+## What Works
+
+- Treat him as a peer expert. No hand-holding.
+- Be direct and concise. Skip preamble.
+- Explain destructive actions before doing them.
+- Casual tone is correct; formality is not.
