Phase 10. Metacognition is a cognitive process with deterministic self-checks (insufficient evidence, single-source reliance, model output without evidence, repeated failed hypotheses, stale contradictions, calibration overconfidence); its warnings compete for attention and, when admitted, add counter-evidence or open an investigation goal. Reflection reviews the period since the last run (prediction errors, rejected beliefs, corrections, status changes, completed goals, contradictions, calibration), turns repeated failures into procedural lessons written once, and records a reflection event; a model may only word the prose within the mind's budget. Consolidation clusters unconsolidated episodes by shared stemmed terms, creates a belief whose confidence is computed from the episodes as evidence and a semantic memory linked to each episode by derived_from, and records jobs with inputs and outputs. Wording may come from the consolidate prompt within a per-run model budget; the job says which. Operators can run, pause and reject; originals are never touched. The narrative hook keeps a five-part first-person narrative built from state and stored with narrative_updated events. The notification hook applies explicit thresholded rules, aggregates repeats within a cooldown and records suppressions with reasons. A scheduled job runs consolidation and reflection per mind, switching the runtime mode while it works.

[Unreleased]
Added
- Phase 10 background cognition: metacognitive self-checks, scheduled reflection with lessons, episode consolidation into evidenced generalisations with operator review, internal narrative, thresholded notifications with aggregation.
- Phase 9 motivation: goal tree with attention relevance, closed drive set and rule-driven affect state with decay and weight modulation, explicit predictions with deterministic resolution, prediction errors feeding beliefs, calibration dashboard, curiosity questions becoming investigation goals.
- Phase 8 conversation (milestone M1): messages become observations, deterministic perception with optional model enrichment, claims become evidenced beliefs, grounded introspective answers from real state, model or deterministic wording with full provenance, chat UI,
noemactl ask, sample mind Dani with a strict seed import, and an end-to-end acceptance test. - Phase 7 LLM layer: provider-neutral router with roles and fallbacks, OpenAI-compatible/Anthropic/Ollama providers, encrypted secret references, SSRF-safe HTTP client, budgets, full call recording with replay, versioned prompts with untrusted data blocks, configuration and prompt manager UI, CLI.
- Phase 6 beliefs: evidence-derived confidence with inspectable arithmetic, statuses, alternatives, append-only history, deterministic contradiction detection, temporal-association hypotheses, operator corrections (wrong, do-not-infer, inaccurate memory), belief explorer and CLI.
- Phase 5 memory: episodic/semantic/procedural/autobiographical memory with epistemic status, fused retrieval with inspectable component scores, optional pgvector embeddings, decay without deletion, attention-gated encoding, retrieval process, memory explorer and CLI.
- Phase 4 cognition core: deterministic attention scoring with inspectable breakdowns, global workspace and working memory with decay, per-mind cognitive runtime with bounded concurrent processes, loop detection, operator controls, live workspace page and CLI.
- Phase 3 events: append-only cognitive event store with provenance links, filtered queries, durable cursors, live SSE streams with resume, forensic event explorer UI, thought stream page, operator observations and CLI.
- Phase 2 minds: structured personalities with append-only version history, diff, restore, templates with preserved overrides, self-model, mind lifecycle (create, clone, disable, archive), API, UI editor and CLI.
- Phase 1 foundation: configuration, structured logging, metrics, migrations, local authentication (Argon2id, sessions, CSRF, lockout, roles, API tokens), audit log, JSON API skeleton, server-rendered admin UI with light/dark theme,
noemadandnoemactl. - Repository foundation: plan, architecture, security model, threat model, ADRs, Makefile, container files.
