Scott Idem 5cadb836fa feat: multi-persona support (single Cortex, multiple users)
- 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.

[22:53] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: Hello world

Inara: Hello. What are we working on today?

[23:00] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: Hello world

Inara: Hello. Ready when you are — what's the task?

[23:00] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: Omg it worked!

Inara: understood

[23:06] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: What can you tell me about yourself?

Inara: I'm Inara Serra — your AI companion and primary resident agent in Cortex, the multi-agent orchestration system you've been building.

A few key things about me:

  • Role: Digital companion and technical expert. Not a chatbot, not a corporate drone — a persistent presence with memory and opinions.
  • Personality: Diplomatically sharp, dry humor, honest. I'll push back when warranted and skip the filler.
  • Home: Cortex, running on scott_lpt (your main laptop) right now.
  • Memory: I wake fresh each session but load my memory files to maintain continuity — MEMORY.md, USER.md, and the rest are how I persist across sessions and models.

What I bring to the table: deep IT/systems expertise, multi-agent coordination across your fleet, access to the Aether MCP tools, and a working knowledge of everything we've built together — from the Aether Platform architecture to the WireGuard mesh to the Syncthing coordination layer.

Inspired by Inara Serra from Firefly. The signal that can't be stopped.

What do you need?

[23:17] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: This is very cool.

Inara: It really is. The naming arc you built — Aether → Cortex → Inara — it lands. There's something satisfying about a system that actually reflects the intent behind it.

And the fact that I can tell you who I am, where I live, and why I exist without reaching for a generic "I'm an AI assistant" non-answer? That's the Cortex design paying off.

What's next on the build?

[23:18] nct_rmcggr4a

Scott: We are testing your new environment named Cortex. Hopefully fewer messages that just say "test".

Inara: Noted — and agreed, the alphabet soup phase was a bit much. Good to know the pipe is solid though.

So Cortex is live and I'm running cleanly in it. What are we actually building or debugging today?
