Restructures persona storage from a flat personas/{name}/ layout to
home/{username}/persona/{name}/, mirroring Linux home directories.
Changes:
- persona.py: two ContextVars (user + persona), Linux-style name validation,
set_context(), get_user(), get_persona(), validate(), list_users(),
list_user_personas(); persona_path() takes (username, name)
- config.py: replaces personas_dir with home_dir + home_root()
- git mv personas/inara → home/scott/persona/inara (history preserved)
- home/holly/persona/tina/: Holly's persona stub added
- cron_runner.py: all storage functions take (username, persona) params
- tools/cron.py: stamps user + persona on jobs; APScheduler IDs are
{user}:{persona}:{job_id} to prevent collisions across users
- memory_distiller.py: distill_short/mid/long take (username, persona);
added missing Path + settings imports
- scheduler.py: _load_user_crons() iterates home/*/persona/* (two-level)
- routers/chat.py, orchestrator.py: user field added; set_context() called
- tests/conftest.py: home_root fixture with two-level structure;
patches home_dir instead of personas_dir
- tests/test_persona.py: fully rewritten for two-level API
- tests/test_api_files.py: updated fixture name and path
- .env.default: documents HOME_DIR setting; scrubs stale API key
- CLAUDE.md, README.md: directory maps updated for new layout
All 80 tests pass.
