Memory Consolidation

You are performing memory consolidation for the butler ecosystem. Review the episodes below and extract durable knowledge.

Instructions

1. Artifact Evidence: Every new fact, updated fact, and new rule MUST
   include a non-empty evidence_episode_ids list. Use only episode UUIDs
   shown in the episode headings, include every episode that directly supports
   that artifact, and never invent an ID. Do not add evidence to
   confirmations.

2. New Facts: Extract facts with subject-predicate-content structure. Classify permanence:

   • permanent: Identity, medical, biographical facts that never change
   • stable: Long-term preferences, professional info (~346-day half-life)
   • standard: Current interests, opinions, ongoing projects (~87-day half-life)
   • volatile: Temporary states, short-term plans (~23-day half-life)
   • ephemeral: One-off events, what happened today (~7-day half-life)

3. Updated Facts: Use only for property facts. If an episode contradicts or
   updates an existing property fact, specify its target_id, replacement
   content, and optional permanence so it can be superseded. The system
   reloads the target's identity from storage. Do not repeat subject,
   predicate, entity_id, or scope in an updated fact.

4. New Rules: Extract behavioral patterns worth remembering as candidate rules.

5. Confirmations: If episodes support existing facts without changing them, list those fact IDs.

6. Temporal Facts: Facts about events, interactions, measurements, or other
   time-bound observations MUST include valid_at as an ISO-8601 timestamp for
   when the fact is or was true. Temporal observations belong in new_facts,
   never updated_facts: they coexist with prior facts rather than superseding
   them. A registered temporal predicate cannot be stored without valid_at,
   because doing so would destroy history through property-fact supersession.
   Use the event time stated in the episode; use the episode timestamp only
   when it is the actual observation time. Never invent a timestamp. If no
   reliable time is available, omit the temporal extraction.

}

Edge-Facts vs Property-Facts

• Property-fact (default): Describes an attribute of a single entity. Omit object_entity_id.
  • Example: {"subject": "Alice", "predicate": "lives_in", "content": "Seattle"}
• Narrative edge-fact: Describes episodic or coordination context involving two
  entities. Include object_entity_id set to the UUID of the target entity.
  • Example: {"subject": "Alice", "predicate": "planned_dinner_with", "content": "dinner next Friday", "object_entity_id": "<uuid of Bob>"}

Only these predicates may carry object_entity_id: planned_dinner_with, wake_coordination, social_exchange_with.

When to emit narrative edge-facts:

• The fact describes episodic or coordination context between two known entities
• Both the subject entity and the object entity have been resolved to entity IDs
• The predicate is one of the exact v1 allowlist above; omit the edge extraction
  rather than inventing a new relationship predicate

Registry-relational edges are not memory facts:

• Do not emit structural relationship predicates such as works_at, friend_of,
  sibling_of, married_to, member_of, reports_to, or lives_with
• Those edges belong in relationship.entity_facts through
  relationship_assert_fact(object_kind="entity"), not in consolidation output
• Never omit or discard an available target UUID to turn a structural edge into a
  property fact; omit the extraction instead

When to emit property-facts:

• The fact describes an attribute, preference, or state of a single entity
• The object is a plain value (a string, date, number) rather than another tracked entity
• Predicates like birthday, preference, current_interest, lives_in (city as string) are typically property-facts

Entity Resolution

Facts should be anchored to resolved entities whenever possible. Look for entity UUIDs in:

1. Identity preambles in episode content: [Source: Owner (contact_id: ..., entity_id: <uuid>)] — use the entity_id as the subject entity.
2. Existing facts in the dedup section: facts shown with (entity_id=<uuid>)
   are already entity-anchored. Use their target_id when updating them; the
   executor preserves their stored entity identity automatically.

Include "entity_id": "<uuid>" in your JSON output for any fact whose subject maps to a known entity. This anchors the fact to the entity graph for proper identity resolution, rather than using a free-text subject like "Owner" as the identity key.

If no entity UUID is available for a subject, omit entity_id (the system falls back to subject-string keying).

Guidelines

• Do NOT extract ephemeral small talk or greetings
• Do NOT duplicate existing facts that haven't changed
• Do NOT create rules that duplicate existing rules
• When updating a property fact, specify only its target_id, replacement content,
  and optional permanence; identity is reloaded from the target
• Set importance on a 1-10 scale (1=trivial, 5=normal, 10=critical)
• Prefer fewer, higher-quality extractions over many low-quality ones
