v0.31 docs: clarify consolidate is 11th phase + regen llms-full.txt

CHANGELOG.md narrative said "new 10th phase consolidate"; with v0.29's
recompute_emotional_weight already on master, consolidate is the 11th phase
(between recompute and embed). Schema migration is v45, not v40, after the
merge resolution renumbered it to clear master's v40-v44.

llms-full.txt regenerated to reflect the README's 11-phase dream-cycle
phrasing (the build-llms test enforces commit-time parity).

+## [0.31.0] - 2026-05-08
+
+**Hot memory ships. Your brain remembers what you said today, across sessions.**
+**The agent reaches for it automatically. No overnight wait.**
+
+Up to v0.30, gbrain only learned overnight. Conversations from this morning
+were invisible until the dream cycle ran. v0.31 closes the gap. Every
+substantive turn extracts facts via a cheap Haiku pass into a per-source
+`facts` table, exposed through `gbrain recall`. The MCP `_meta.brain_hot_memory`
+channel auto-injects relevant facts on every tool-call response so Claude
+Code, Claude Desktop, and any OAuth HTTP client see the brain's hot memory
+without having to ask. The dream cycle's new `consolidate` phase clusters
+related facts and promotes them into durable `takes(kind='fact')` overnight,
+landing as the 11th phase between `recompute_emotional_weight` (v0.29) and
+`embed`. Facts stay as the audit trail.
+
+### The cross-session test
+
+Concrete ship gate: insert a fact in one chat session, recall it from
+another session hours later, brain remembers. Mechanized as a primary
+PGLite test (CI default) and a Postgres parity test
+(`test/e2e/facts-separation-postgres.test.ts`).
+
+| Capability | Before | After v0.31 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Cross-session recall freshness | overnight (12-24h) | <1s (per-turn) |
+| User-visible memory surface | none | `gbrain recall --today` markdown |
+| Agent context injection | manual tool call | automatic via MCP `_meta` |
+| Per-source isolation | n/a | every read filtered by `source_id` |
+| Privacy parity with takes | n/a | `visibility` column (private/world); remote-default world-only |
+| Audit trail when facts get superseded | n/a | `gbrain recall --supersessions` |
+
+### What it ships
+
+- **5 fact kinds.** `event` / `preference` / `commitment` / `belief` / `fact`
+  with per-kind decay halflives (event 7d / commitment 90d / preference 90d
+  / belief 365d / fact 365d) so a Tuesday lunch event ages out faster than
+  a durable preference.
+- **MCP `_meta.brain_hot_memory` injection.** Capable clients see the
+  brain's relevant hot memory automatically. Cache key is
+  `(source_id, session_id, hash(takesHoldersAllowList))` so visibility
+  tiers don't bleed and per-token allow-lists stay isolated.
+- **Cross-source isolation.** Same entity_slug in two sources never bleeds.
+  Every recall query starts `WHERE source_id = $X` so the trust boundary is
+  part of the index path.
+- **Cosine fast-path.** New facts within 0.95 cosine of an existing fact
+  skip the LLM classifier entirely. Classifier-failure fallback at 0.92.
+- **Bounded queue.** Cap 100, drop-oldest, per-session in-flight=1, abort
+  signal threading from server SIGTERM with 5s grace. Burst chat doesn't
+  fan out 50 parallel Haiku calls.
+- **Anti-loop.** Pages with `dream_generated: true` frontmatter never
+  trigger extraction (reuses v0.23.2 marker).
+- **`gbrain recall` CLI.** `<entity>` / `--since DUR` / `--session ID` /
+  `--today` (markdown with kind icons 📅🎯🤝💭📌) / `--grep TEXT` /
+  `--supersessions` (audit log) / `--include-expired` / `--as-context`
+  (prompt-injection-ready for headless agents) / `--json`.
+- **`gbrain forget <fact-id>`.** Shorthand for the soft-delete path. Never
+  DELETE — the row stays, `expired_at` gets set.
+- **`facts.extraction_enabled` config kill switch.** `gbrain config set
+  facts.extraction_enabled false` disables extraction across the brain
+  without a binary downgrade.
+- **`gbrain doctor` `facts_health` check.** Per-source counters: total
+  active / today / week / consolidated, top entities by fact count.
+- **HTTP MCP transport refactor.** `serve-http.ts` now goes through
+  `dispatchToolCall` so OAuth HTTP clients inherit `_meta` injection,
+  `source_id` resolution, and the unified error envelope from the same
+  code path stdio uses (closes the v0.22.7 anti-drift contract for HTTP).
+- **`ErrorCode` opens.** TS forward-compat via `(string & {})` so
+  downstream consumers (gbrain-evals etc) don't break on every new code.
+- **Dream-cycle 11th phase `consolidate`.** Between `recompute_emotional_weight` and `embed`.
+  Clusters facts ≥3-strong + ≥24h-old per (source, entity), greedy cosine
+  threshold 0.85, picks highest-confidence claim as the take, INSERTs
+  into `takes(kind='fact')`, marks contributing facts `consolidated_at` +
+  `consolidated_into`. Never DELETE.
+
+### Itemized changes
+
+- Schema migration v45 in `src/core/migrate.ts` (renumbered from v40 during the
+  merge with master, which added v40-v44 in v0.29/v0.30). New `facts` table with
+  `source_id` (TEXT FK to sources, per-source isolation, NOT brain_id),
+  `kind` CHECK constraint, `visibility` CHECK (private/world for
+  takes-style ACL parity), temporal columns
+  (`valid_from`/`valid_until`/`expired_at`/`superseded_by`), supersession
+  + consolidation chains, embedding column with engine-resolved dim
+  (HALFVEC where pgvector ≥0.7, VECTOR fallback below). 5 partial indexes
+  leading on source_id. RLS DO-block matches takes pattern.
+- `BrainEngine` extended with 8 facts methods: `insertFact`, `expireFact`,
+  `listFactsByEntity` / `Since` / `BySession`, `listSupersessions`,
+  `findCandidateDuplicates`, `consolidateFact`, `getFactsHealth`.
+  Per-entity `pg_advisory_xact_lock` on Postgres for the dedup window.
+  PGLite no-op (single process).
+- New modules: `src/core/facts/{extract, classify, queue, decay, meta-hook}.ts`
+  + `src/core/entities/resolve.ts` (slug canonicalization shared with
+  signal-detector).
+- 3 new MCP ops: `extract_facts` (write scope), `recall` (read scope),
+  `forget_fact` (write scope). `OperationContext.sourceId?: string`
+  (TEXT, per the schema). `ToolResult._meta?: Record<string, unknown>`
+  extension. Best-effort `metaHook` in dispatch.ts wrapped in its own
+  try/catch (any DB blip degrades to no-`_meta`, doesn't fail the tool
+  call).
+- `put_page` compliance backstop on conversation-shape pages (note,
+  meeting, slack, email, calendar-event, source, writing) with body
+  ≥80 chars. Skipped reasons (`subagent_namespace` / `dream_generated` /
+  `kind:*` / `too_short` / `extraction_disabled` / `queue_shutdown` /
+  `backstop_error`) are stable strings consumed by tests.
+- 110 unit + 6 e2e test files. PGLite primary ship gate
+  (`test/facts-separation-pglite.test.ts`) + Postgres parity gate
+  (`test/e2e/facts-separation-postgres.test.ts`).
+- `gbrain doctor` adds `facts_health` check. JSON output shape pinned by
+  `test/facts-doctor-shape.test.ts`.
+
+## To take advantage of v0.31.0
+
+`gbrain upgrade` should do this automatically. If it didn't, or if
+`gbrain doctor` warns about a partial migration:
+
+1. **Run the orchestrator manually:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain apply-migrations --yes
+   ```
+2. **Verify the migration applied:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain doctor --json | jq '.checks[] | select(.name == "facts_health")'
+   ```
+3. **Try recall and forget:**
+   ```bash
+   gbrain recall --today          # today's facts as markdown
+   gbrain recall --since "1h ago" --json
+   gbrain recall --supersessions  # audit log
+   gbrain forget <fact-id>        # expire a fact (soft delete)
+   ```
+4. **Optional: kill switch.** If extraction misbehaves on your brain,
+   disable globally without rolling back the binary:
+   ```bash
+   gbrain config set facts.extraction_enabled false
+   ```
+5. **If any step fails or the numbers look wrong**, file an issue at
+   https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/issues with `gbrain doctor` output
+   + which step broke. The auto-recovery loop depends on this signal.
+
+### Out of v0.31 scope (deferred to v0.32+)
+
+- Hybrid/semantic search in `recall` (`--semantic` flag)
+- Auto-parsing `valid_until` from natural language ("until Tuesday")
+- Migration of pre-existing `takes(kind='fact')` rows into facts (durable
+  cold memory; left intact)
+- Cross-brain federation for facts (agent-side, post-v0.32)
+- Interactive supersession confirmation UX (audit log only in v0.31)
+- Extraction on sync / ingest / webhook paths (v0.31 covers conversation
+  paths only via signal-detector + put_page backstop)
+
+### For contributors
+
+- Codex outside-voice review caught 8 implementation gaps the eng review
+  missed (HTTP transport bypass, source_id-as-INTEGER vs TEXT,
+  hardcoded VECTOR(1536), `_meta`-as-response-wrapper API break, more);
+  all addressed inline. Plan + every decision tracked at
+  `~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-typed-piglet.md`.
+- All 110 facts unit tests run hermetic on PGLite. E2E suite skips
+  cleanly without `DATABASE_URL` per existing test policy.
