When dream.enabled is false, the Dream cron job never runs, so the
dream cursor (.dream_cursor) stays at its initial value (0). This
causes read_recent_history_for_prompt() to treat every history entry
as unprocessed, injecting the full chat history into every system
prompt and growing without bound.
Fix: fast-forward the dream cursor to the latest history entry at
gateway startup when Dream is disabled.
Track the Dream cursor in memory versioning so restores do not skip history after rolling back Dream commits.

#3412 stopped the headline raw_archive bloat but left four adjacent leaks
on the same pollution chain:
- archive() success path appended uncapped LLM summaries to history.jsonl,
so a misbehaving LLM could re-open the #3412 bug from the happy path.
- maybe_consolidate_by_tokens did not advance last_consolidated when
archive() fell back to raw_archive, causing duplicate [RAW] dumps of
the same chunk on every subsequent call.
- Dream's Phase 1/2 prompt injected MEMORY.md / SOUL.md / USER.md and
each history entry without caps, so any legacy oversized record (or an
unbounded user edit) would blow past the context window every dream.
- append_history itself had no default cap, leaving future new callers
one forgotten-cap-away from the same vector.
Changes:
- Cap LLM-produced summaries at 8K chars (_ARCHIVE_SUMMARY_MAX_CHARS)
before writing to history.jsonl.
- Advance session.last_consolidated after archive() regardless of whether
it summarized or raw-archived — both outcomes materialize the chunk;
still break the round loop on fallback so a degraded LLM isn't hammered.
- Truncate MEMORY.md / SOUL.md / USER.md and each history entry in Dream's
Phase 1 prompt preview (Phase 2 still reaches full files via read_file).
- Add _HISTORY_ENTRY_HARD_CAP (64K) as belt-and-suspenders default in
append_history with a once-per-store warning, so any new caller that
forgets its own tighter cap gets caught and observable.
Layer the caps by scope: raw_archive=16K, archive summary=8K,
append_history default=64K. Tight per-caller values cover expected
payloads; the wide default only catches regressions.
Tests: +9 regression tests covering each fix. Full suite: 2372 passed.
Made-with: Cursor
`append_history` previously used `strip_think(entry) or entry.rstrip()`
as a safety net, so if the entire entry was a template-token leak (e.g.
`<think>reasoning</think>` or `<channel|>` alone), the raw leaked text
was still persisted to history — later re-introducing the very content
`strip_think` was meant to scrub, via consolidation / replay.
Persist the cleaned content directly. When cleanup empties a non-empty
entry, log at debug and store an empty-content record (cursor continuity
preserved). Adds 3 regression tests in test_memory_store.py covering:
- Well-formed thinking blocks are stripped before persistence.
- Pure-leak entries persist as empty, not as raw text.
- Malformed prefix leaks (`<channel|>`) also persist as empty.
- Add GitStore class wrapping dulwich for memory file versioning
- Auto-commit memory changes during Dream consolidation
- Add /dream-log and /dream-restore commands for history browsing
- Pass tracked_files as constructor param, generate .gitignore dynamically
Replace single-stage MemoryConsolidator with a two-stage architecture:
- Consolidator: lightweight token-budget triggered summarization,
appends to HISTORY.md with cursor-based tracking
- Dream: cron-scheduled two-phase processor that analyzes HISTORY.md
and updates SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md via AgentRunner with
edit_file tools for surgical, fault-tolerant updates
New files: MemoryStore (pure file I/O), Dream class, DreamConfig,
/dream and /dream-log commands. 89 tests covering all components.
