reminders_add now accepts optional due: YYYY-MM-DD parameter.
Due date stored as first line of section body in REMINDERS.md.
context_loader.py calls load_due_reminders() instead of loading REMINDERS.md
wholesale — future-dated reminders are suppressed in the system prompt until
their date arrives. Undated reminders always surface (backward compatible).
reminders_list shows due status per entry: [OVERDUE by N days], [due TODAY],
or [due: YYYY-MM-DD] for future items. All reminders visible via the tool
regardless of date; only context surfacing is filtered.

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 role in model_registry.json can now carry two optional keys:
system_append — injected into the system prompt at position 7 (after
memory, closest to the turn) for the active chat_role
tools — explicit tool allow-list; intersected with the user's
access-level filter so it can only restrict, never elevate
No changes needed for existing users — missing keys fall back to current
behavior. Add keys to a role to give it a specialty focus:
"coder": {
"primary": "claude_cli",
"system_append": "You are in code-specialist mode...",
"tools": ["web_search", "file_read", "shell_exec", "scratch_write"]
}
Changes:
- model_registry.py: get_role_config() returns system_append + tools
- context_loader.py: role_append param appended as "--- Role Context ---"
- tools/__init__.py: get_tools_for_role/get_openai_tools_for_role accept
optional tool_list and intersect with access-level filter
- orchestrator_engine.py: tool_list threaded through run/resume/checkpoint
- openai_orchestrator.py: tool_list threaded through run/resume/checkpoint;
_build_client now calls get_openai_tools_for_role instead of returning
unfiltered OPENAI_TOOL_SCHEMAS
- routers/orchestrator.py: pulls role_cfg for chat_role, passes both
role_append and tool_list to context loader and engine

- cortex/static/TOOLS.md — tool reference extracted from HELP.md; uses ##
headers so each category is collapsible. All 30 tools with descriptions.
- cortex/static/HELP.md — UI guide only; tools section replaced with a
one-line pointer to the Tools tab.
- help.html — three tabs (UI Guide / Tools / Persona); tab choice persists
in localStorage. Tools tab defaults all sections open. Persona tab shows
home/{user}/persona/{name}/HELP.md with an empty-state message if unset.
- context_loader.py — loads cortex/static/TOOLS.md into context at tier 2+
(replaces the previously empty persona HELP.md load). Persona HELP.md
still loaded if non-empty, as persona-specific additions.

- 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.

including tables (previously missing)
- static/app.js: all JS extracted (~900 lines) + help modal fetch/render
- index.html: adds ? help button + help modal HTML
- inara/HELP.md: comprehensive reference doc covering all features,
keyboard shortcuts, API endpoints, memory system, planned items
- routers/files.py: HELP.md added to ALLOWED set
- context_loader.py: HELP.md loaded at tier 2+ (after PROTOCOLS.md)
so Inara can reference it when helping Scott with the interface

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)
