Phase 2. Minds are rows with a slug, status (active/disabled/archived),
cognitive configuration and a pointer to the current personality version.
Personalities are structured (identity, values, traits, communication,
behaviour, free text) with a deterministic Brief() used by prompts and the
editor preview. Every change appends a personality_versions row protected
by the append-only trigger; restore copies an old version forward.
Templates carry reusable personalities; minds record their overrides so a
template can be re-applied without losing mind-specific edits. The
self-model starts with structural limitations the mind cannot drop
(no policy changes, no influence over shutdown, no cross-mind access).
API, UI (list, overview, editor with sliders/diff/history/import/export,
template editor) and noemactl mind/template commands. All mutations are
audited with field-level diffs.
- config: defaults -> JSON file -> NOEMA_* env with validation and redaction
- observability: slog with secret-redacting handler; Prometheus registry with
the metric set from the plan (events, workspace, memory, LLM, tools, queues)
- scheduler: supervised Group and bounded Pool so no goroutine is unowned
- storage: pgx pool with statement timeout, embedded migration runner
(advisory lock, checksums, up/down/status), per-test schema helper
- migrations/0001: append-only guard trigger, users, sessions, api tokens,
recovery codes, audit log, settings
- pkg/ids: UUIDv7 with monotonic counter
