Every night at 03:30 the agent replays all conversations of the day through its "REM phase", clusters errors into motifs, and flags anything recurring on 3+ days as a nightmare — a standing intention to fix the root cause, not the symptom. New dreams appear here automatically.
1. Live: every conversation is captured as a training trajectory.
2. Dream: nightly replay + error-motif clustering.
3. Distill: sessions become teaching examples (instruction → proven answer).
4. Train: QLoRA fine-tune of Qwen3.5-2B on pure CPU — 35 minutes, no GPU.
5. Serve: the tuned model answers on localhost:8081 — offline, zero cost.
6. Guard: RAM/data/interval guards stop the loop from running blind.
Repeat. The brain literally grows with every use.
