Distillation was silently operating on scott/inara for all users due to
ContextVar defaults. All three distill endpoints now require ?user=&persona=
query params and validate them via persona.validate(). Memory distiller
signatures changed from Optional to required positional args — no more
global settings fallback. Scheduler now iterates all users/personas instead
of hardcoding the primary user.
- context_loader: inject current date/time as first system prompt section
- session_logger: use get_user()/get_persona() from context instead of
settings globals so Holly/Brian sessions show correct speaker labels
- memory_distiller: system prompts now reference u.title()/p.title()
instead of settings.user_name/settings.agent_name
- distill router: Query(...) enforces params; _resolve() validates persona
- scheduler: _all_personas() helper iterates every user/persona for distill
- app.js: runDistill() now appends ?user=&persona= via _fileParams

Each assistant message in the session JSON now carries:
backend, backend_label, host (platform.node())
These fields are shown as model tags in the UI — on live responses and
when loading session history. Session log entries (sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md)
include the backend label and host in the turn header.
The local (OpenAI-compat) backend strips non-standard fields before
sending messages to the API so extra fields don't leak upstream.

- Add cortex/persona.py: ContextVar-based per-request routing with
path traversal protection and persona validation
- Migrate inara/ → personas/inara/ (git history preserved via git mv)
- config.py: add personas_root(), inara_path() delegates to personas/inara
- All 14 settings.inara_path() call sites replaced with persona_path()
- ChatRequest + OrchestrateRequest: add persona field (default: "inara")
with validation at request entry before any processing
- memory_distiller: add optional persona param for future per-persona distill
- cron_runner/tools/cron: stamp persona on jobs, prefix APScheduler IDs
(persona:job_id) to prevent collisions across personas
- scheduler: _load_user_crons() iterates all personas at startup
Adding a new persona: create personas/<name>/ with IDENTITY.md + SOUL.md.
Auth: handled at nginx level (inject X-Cortex-Persona header per subdomain).
Future: persona maps to Aether account_id_random for full integration.

All hardcoded "Inara"/"Scott" strings replaced with settings.agent_name
and settings.user_name, read from .env at startup:
- config.py: AGENT_NAME and USER_NAME settings (defaults: Inara / Scott)
- llm_client.py: conversation labels in prompt builder
- session_logger.py: **Name:** labels in session log markdown
- memory_distiller.py: distillation system prompts (mid + long)
- routers/nextcloud_talk.py: @mention prefix strip
- routers/google_chat.py: greeting message
Second instance scaffolding:
- holly/: identity directory with placeholder files (USER_NAME=Holly,
AGENT_NAME to be chosen by Holly)
- cortex/.env.holly: config for Holly's instance on port 8001
- cortex-holly.service: systemd unit for the second instance
No behavioural change to the Inara/Scott instance — defaults unchanged.

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)
