Agent souls: identity, memory and taste for the factory

Umbrella and decision record for the souls work. The full design lives in the vault note agent-souls.md (mazarbul, hubs/projects/agentic-development): a soul decomposes into taste (falsifiable convictions), memory (per-repo lessons plus per-character memory), voice and a track record. Thrawn's real characters are the pipeline stages: planner as tactician, integrator as fixer and a new pre-ship skeptic. Executors stay deliberately soul-light.

The #14 runner trial accidentally proved the premise: the discipline gap between codex and pi was a personality gap. codex ships with baked-in convictions, pi ships with none and committed two lint-failing branches because nobody told it to check its work. Souls put those convictions in one versioned place and inject them into whichever harness runs the pane.

Constraint: phase 2 of #14 keeps running throughout. Nothing here may change the planner, executor or swarm behaviour mid-trial except the check-step ticket, which is a declared phase 2 prerequisite.

Task list is maintained in a comment below once the sub-tickets exist.

Start with the vault note agent-souls.md and issue #14's runner trial to understand the proposed soul components and phase-2 constraint. Map the design into explicit sub-tickets, preserving the existing planner, executor, and swarm behavior except for the declared check-step prerequisite; done means the scope and decisions are recorded without mid-trial changes.
