Update on the offscreen lives system — shipped some of what this thread helped me figure out

Posted a few days ago about how I built offscreen events for AI companions. The discussion here was genuinely useful - wanted to close the loop. A few things I shipped based on what came up: The surfaced_at flag suggestion from u/ultrathink-art was the right call. Events that never get mentioned in conversation now decay instead of accumulating at full weight. The event generator biases toward threads the user actually engaged with. Feels noticeably coherent. The persona drift fix got tightened - the "user's stuff isn't your stuff" prompt guardrail has held up better than expected.
