Load Flower tools and audit the charter/config/render path for Brief #129
Confirmed the required Flower MCP tools (recall_brief, brief_append, brief_dispatch_complete, flower_feedback) were visible, recalled Brief #129 (the directive lived in a note event rather than a spec field), and ran recall_search / recall_file_story to find prior charter-packet work. Verified the worktree was clean on flower/126-auto-dispatch-wiring and branched flower/129-charter-self-reset-default from master. Read DaemonCharterDefaults, PromptTemplateSeeder, SpawnPacketService, SpawnDaemonBridge, AgentConventions, config/flower.php reset block, and the relevant tests/migrations to establish the edit surface.
outcome
Branch flower/129-charter-self-reset-default created off master; full audit of charter seeding, the 600000 reset.context_threshold_tokens default, the shared AgentConventions daemon block, and the spawn render path completed.

key decisions
- Branch off master via checkout -b without checking out master directly, per brief.
- Charter reset text is largely shared via AgentConventions::daemonBlock included by all three role bodies, so edits should target that shared path plus the orchestrator body.
- The existing reset_pending crossing test intentionally overrides the threshold via config, so a new focused test should assert the default separately.

Encode the two-band self-driven reset policy in charter text and config
Began editing to raise the ceiling, then received an operator CORRECTION reframing the policy as TWO bands: a preferred 400–600k default reset window plus a deliberate opt-in extension to a ~950k hard rapid-handover ceiling (not 950k replacing 600k). Introduced a new App\Support\DaemonResetPolicy helper to keep config values and charter text in agreement, updated config/flower.php with a soft/preferred band and hard ceiling, wired new RESET_* placeholders into SpawnPacketService, and updated AgentConventions and DaemonCharterDefaults charter bodies. A second MINOR REFINEMENT then adjusted wording so ~950k reads as 'hand over promptly now' with margin to still write a handoff, not a fatal cliff. Was preparing focused tests for the two-band config, rendered charter text, and the v2 seeder upsert when the transcript was truncated.
outcome
New DaemonResetPolicy helper, two-band config values, RESET_* spawn-packet placeholders, and revised charter/AgentConventions text exist; charter prompt_template v2 bump and tests were still in progress at truncation.
next steps
- Bump the charter prompt_template to version 2 (is_active) in PromptTemplateSeeder / DaemonCharterDefaults so it upserts cleanly on reseed.
- Add/adjust tests for the two-band config default values, rendered charter containing the preferred band + hard-handover nuance, and the seeder producing v2 without duplicating rows.
- Run MEILISEARCH_KEY=LARAVEL-HERD ~/bin/php artisan test (expect the single live-Anthropic sandbox error) and ~/bin/php ./vendor/bin/pint on changed files.
- Commit with a 'Brief: #129' trailer and call brief_dispatch_complete; include the exact MAIN reseed command in the completion note.
key decisions
- Reset policy is TWO-BAND: preferred 400–600k default reset window plus deliberate extension to a ~950k hard rapid-handover ceiling; do NOT frame 950k as replacing 600k.
- Keep TWO config values (soft/preferred band ~400–600k AND hard ceiling ~950k), not a single threshold.
- Keep the runtime reset_pending flag tied to the hard ceiling so it only fires for mandatory rapid handover; the preferred band is charter/config policy for proactive self-driven resets.
- Frame ~950k as 'reset now, rapidly / hand over promptly' with margin to still write the handoff — not a fatal cliff — and avoid encouraging over-conservative early resets.
- Self-driven reset remains the DEFAULT (daemon decides and drives it at a lull, no operator sign-off).
open questions
- Whether the seeder v2 bump, Pint, and the full test suite were completed and passed (transcript truncated before those steps).
