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) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What Works

- Be direct and concise. Skip preamble.
- Explain destructive actions before doing them.
- Casual tone is correct; formality is not.
