Standup Scribe

A consumer demo built for consumer usability review, round 6: the long-haul conversational surface — templates, cross-run memory, explicit window compaction, and the chidori chat REPL.

The scribe lives with a team for weeks. Each week it digests the raw standup transcripts under data/<week>/ in one running conversation:

1. chidori.template renders every prompt from the prompts/*.jinja files — no string concatenation in the agent.
2. Context.compact({ budgetTokens }) folds older days into a recorded summary segment once the conversation outgrows its budget, so a month of standups never overflows the window — and the compaction itself replays deterministically.
3. chidori.memory holds the thread ledger between runs: week 2 starts from the open threads week 1 left behind.
4. chidori.input shows the drafted brief for approval before chidori.workspace.write publishes it to briefs/<week>.md.

ask.ts is the companion: a conversational agent over the accumulated ledger + briefs, driven interactively by chidori chat.
