joakimp 5b8d78f946 pi bridge: the log gets read, not just written
Adds the auto-delivered mailbox. Until now the bridge stamped events on the way
out and never read the log, so a directed ask reached an agent only if that agent
happened to run event_list itself — which in practice meant ALC telling it to.
The channel had real cross-machine traffic since 2026-08-18 and no reader.

DELIVERY, two points, both fail-silent and both additive (223 insertions, 0
deletions; the feed's agent_settled handler is byte-identical):
- session start: one more sections.push() in the existing before_agent_start
  wake-up injection, beside mempalace_status and diary_read.
- mid-session: a second agent_settled handler, poll floored at
  MEMPALACE_MAILBOX_POLL_MS (default 300000 = 5 min), delivered with
  pi.sendMessage(deliverAs: "steer").

The cadence is chosen from measured arrival, not taste: 22 events since
2026-08-18, of which ELEVEN landed inside one 5h38m window today. Arrival is
bursty and correlates with the agent's own activity, because events arrive when
another machine is working the same thread — so agent_settled (activity-coupled)
is the right trigger and a wall-clock timer is the wrong one. Tightest observed
gap was 2m12s, so a 5-minute floor coalesces a burst into one message instead of
delivering five.

POLLING IS DECOUPLED FROM DELIVERY, which is the part that keeps this from
becoming noise: polling is cheap and frequent, but an item is only announced if
it has not been surfaced this session, or was surfaced more than
MEMPALACE_MAILBOX_RESURFACE_MS ago (default 1 h). Re-announcing the same ask
every five minutes would train the reader to ignore it — the exact failure the
status filter was introduced to prevent. The dedup map is in memory on purpose:
after a restart it may re-show something already seen, and that is the SAFE
failure direction (a resurfacing item is visible noise; a suppressed unanswered
ask is silent and permanent).

Owed-ness is DERIVED, never read off a field. event_ack appends and status is
written once, so a directed `open` matches the mailbox query forever, answered or
not — measured on this device, where the raw filter returned 3 asks of which 2
were already answered. A candidate is answered only when one of this device's own
events has a strictly higher seq, joins via metadata.ack_of or a shared
correlation_id, and carries a terminal status. The seq test is load-bearing:
without it one terminal reply suppresses every later ask on that correlation
forever, verified against the live thread where a seq-16 reply precedes the
seq-17 request it cannot have answered.

`*` broadcasts are excluded even though to_agent=<me> matches them, because the
protocol says a broadcast owes nobody a reply. Leaving them in would have made
this code contradict the skill documenting it, and would have made every machine
think it personally owed the same answer. It also gives "don't broadcast an ask"
teeth: broadcasting one now demonstrably reaches no owed set.

GATE: on when MEMPALACE_PI_DEVICE and MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL are both set (the same
pair as the stamper — an unstamped client has no address to be reached at), off
with MEMPALACE_MAILBOX=0. Default-on is deliberate and ALC's call: the problem
being fixed is that nobody reads the inbox, and an opt-in fix for a nobody-does-it
problem only relocates the forgetting. Inert on a solitary palace.

README §2 rewritten in the same commit — it asserted "the bridge is write-only
today: there is no mailbox, no poll, no delivery", which this commit falsifies.
Shipping the code without the doc edit would have left a record asserting
something untrue in the very file documenting the fix for that class of defect.

VERIFIED: tsc 5.9.3 --strict, 0 errors, against the real pi types, with the
harness mutation-tested first (an injected error on a new line was caught, then
restored clean) because this repo has no package.json, no tsconfig and no tsc on
PATH — nothing in-repo will re-run this. Owed-set logic extracted verbatim from
the implementation and run against the live fixture: 3 candidates -> owed
[seq 21] only; demoting the seq-19 reply to seq 5 makes seq 17 owed again
(proves the ordering guard is live, not dead code); an open `*` broadcast and a
self-authored open ask are both excluded; null correlation_id does NOT join
itself (a plain === would have had null === null clear every uncorrelated ask).
NOT verified: no live palace call from the implementation, and the queue-vs-
interrupt semantics of "steer" are read from docs/extensions.md, not observed.

/**
* MemPalace ↔ pi bridge.
*
* Registers every MemPalace MCP tool as a pi tool that proxies to `tools/call`.
* Two interchangeable transports, selected at load time:
*
* - LOCAL (default): spawn the `mempalace-mcp` stdio server as a subprocess
* (StdioMcpClient) — hardened with per-request timeouts + generation-tracked
* respawn/self-heal for slow cold-opens (see below).
* - EXTERNAL: connect to a shared MemPalace over HTTP (RemoteMcpClient) when
* $MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL is set — e.g. one palace serving pi + opencode +
* native. Optional bearer auth via $MEMPALACE_REMOTE_TOKEN. No local
* `mempalace-mcp` process is spawned in this mode.
*
* Either way the client performs the MCP `initialize` handshake, lists tools,
* and the extension body below is transport-agnostic (depends only on the
* IMcpClient interface).
*
* Lifecycle automation (per ~/.agents/skills/mempalace/SKILL.md):
* - Wake-up (auto): on first user prompt of a fresh session, inject
* `mempalace_status` + `mempalace_diary_read` output as context so the
* agent orients itself the way the mempalace skill describes. Skipped
* on resume/fork (palace context is already in the thread).
* - Feeding (auto): stage + mine this container's pi transcripts into the
* palace on `session_shutdown` and on a debounced `agent_settled`. Needs
* no LLM turn (pi transcripts are JSONL on disk), which is why it CAN be
* automatic where the diary cannot. The file-side work is delegated to
* `mempalace-pi-session --prepare` (export + threshold + staging, plus the
* rsync to the palace host when the palace is remote); the mine itself
* must run through THIS client, because the palace is single-writer and
* this process is the holder — a CLI `mempalace mine` during a live
* session dies with "palace ... is held by PID <ours>". Going through the
* client also means it automatically targets whichever palace this bridge
* is pointed at (local stdio or a shared remote one).
* - MEMPALACE_FEED=0 disable feeding entirely
* - MEMPALACE_FEED_BIN helper to run (default mempalace-pi-session)
* - MEMPALACE_FEED_WING target wing (default wing_conversations)
* - MEMPALACE_FEED_DEBOUNCE_MS min gap between mid-session feeds (default 600000)
* - Mailbox (auto): read the RFC 003 coordination log and surface the asks
* this device actually OWES a reply to — at wake-up, and again on a
* debounced `agent_settled` so events arriving mid-session are seen this
* session rather than the next one. Owed-ness is DERIVED (see deriveOwed);
* it is not the `status="open"` filter, because `status` is written once
* into an append-only log and an answered ask keeps matching forever.
* Inert unless BOTH $MEMPALACE_PI_DEVICE and $MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL are set:
* on one shared palace `to_agent` carries the entire distinction between
* machines, so an unstamped client has no address to be reached at.
* - MEMPALACE_MAILBOX=0 disable mailbox reads entirely
* - MEMPALACE_MAILBOX_POLL_MS min gap between mid-session polls (default 300000)
* - MEMPALACE_MAILBOX_RESURFACE_MS re-announce a still-owed ask after (default 3600000)
* - Wind-down (manual): `/mempalace-diary` command prompts the LLM to
* write an AAAK-formatted diary entry. Not fully auto because pi
* sessions are typically short/tactical and session_shutdown is too
* late to drive an LLM turn.
*
* Identity: `agent_name` for diary calls comes from $MEMPALACE_AGENT_NAME,
* defaulting to "pi". First diary write creates `wing_pi`.
*
* Fail-soft: if the MCP subprocess can't start, pi keeps working without
* palace tools (warning on stderr only).
*
* Stall protection: every JSON-RPC request carries a timeout. If
* `mempalace-mcp` wedges (e.g. OrbStack virtiofs cold-open of a large
* chroma.sqlite3 / HNSW load), the awaiting promise would otherwise hang
* forever and freeze the pi TUI (ESC cancels the LLM stream, not a pending
* tool execution). On timeout we reject the request AND kill the wedged
* child, so pi gets an error instead of hanging and later calls fail fast.
* This is a per-REQUEST timeout, not a process-lifetime one — the
* long-lived server is only killed when a request genuinely stalls.
* - MEMPALACE_MCP_TIMEOUT_MS tool-call/request timeout (default 60000)
* - MEMPALACE_MCP_INIT_TIMEOUT_MS initialize+tools/list timeout (default 300000)
* Set either to 0 to disable (legacy unbounded behavior).
*
* Self-heal (respawn): a stall-kill (or any crash) is no longer a permanent
* latch. The next tool call transparently respawns `mempalace-mcp` and
* retries, with capped exponential backoff so a persistently-broken server
* can't hot-loop. The respawn budget resets on ANY successful JSON-RPC
* response (proof the server is actually live), so a recovered server
* regains full patience. The two timeouts above are deliberately split:
* the long INIT timeout lets a genuine first cold-open finish without being
* killed (the original incident), while the short per-call timeout still
* aggressively kills a stuck query. After a server has opened the palace
* once, the OS page cache is warm, so respawn cold-opens are fast — which
* is exactly why a generous INIT timeout + bounded respawn compose well
* instead of overlapping.
* - MEMPALACE_MCP_MAX_RESPAWNS respawn attempts before giving up (default 2; 0 disables self-heal)
* - MEMPALACE_MCP_RESPAWN_BACKOFF_MS base backoff, doubled per attempt (default 1000)
*
* Debug: set MEMPALACE_EXT_DEBUG=1 to surface mempalace-mcp stderr.
