navi_code: leverage context-org/planning tools in system prompt
...
Wire the KV-backed context/planning tools into the profile so the agent
uses them instead of relying on lossy conversation memory under compression.
- Workflow Plan: create a todo for non-trivial tasks.
- Workflow Test & verify: record the verification in the todo `validation`
field when marking done (structural form of "never claim done without
verification").
- Replace "Context drift recovery" with "Working state & memory":
- todo: plan + verification tracking.
- scratchpad: durable working memory across compression (sections
goal/findings/errors/artifacts); read before final report.
- Sub-agent handoff: write context to the scratchpad `context_transfer`
section before spawn_agent — it is injected into the sub-agent
automatically (the sub-agent does not inherit short-term memory).
- schedule_recall: continue after the iteration limit, offload heavy
work headlessly, poll builds/logs, chain multi-phase work.
- reflect: selectively, before complex plans or when stuck (3 LLM calls).
- memory: global cross-project facts, not a scratchpad/docs substitute.
- Drift recovery folded into a closing paragraph aligned with the
goal_anchoring machinery.
TUI visualization for schedule_recall is a follow-up task.

navi_code: fix review findings 1-5 in system prompt
...
- spawn_agent default profile: correct the false "omit profile_id to use
this developer profile" — omitting profile_id inherits navi_code (the
parent), not developer; set profile_id explicitly to pick another profile.
- Safety Rules: scope strict confirmation to destructive/irreversible
operations (rm, delete, wholesale write overwrite, drop table, force-push);
state explicitly that routine edit/edit_lines do not require confirmation.
- Workflow Understand: soften the hard "start with docs/index.md" to a soft
"read notes/docs first (see NAVI.md and Documentation sections below)" so
it no longer conflicts with the NAVI.md-first entry point.
- Documentation: add a branch for projects with no docs/ — propose creating
one (with user approval) or record in NAVI.md that docs are absent/not
needed.
- Execution environment: document terminal action="run" for one-off commands
(tests, git status, lint, py_compile); persistent terminals only for
long-running processes.
Findings 6 (subagent briefing toolset), 7 (subagent delegation wording),
8 (planning/context-org tools) deferred for later work.

navi_code: docs as living spec + NAVI.md hints file
...
Replace the Project knowledge section with two clearer sections:
- Documentation: docs/ is the project's living specification, not just
human reference — keep it current with code, and for non-trivial changes
align docs to the intended end state before implementing (docs-first).
- NAVI.md: a lightweight, pointer-shaped hints file at project root (not a
source of truth) that tells the agent where to look; capped at ~150 lines
with a defined structure (Project / Commands / Where to start / Docs index
/ Gotchas / Open decisions), kept distinct from docs/ (spec) and memory
(global cross-project facts).
Instruction-only: the agent reads NAVI.md via filesystem; no auto-inject.
Applies to navi_code only.

filesystem: make edit/edit_lines the default, smart_edit a last-resort fallback
...
Agent overused smart_edit (whole-file LLM call, weak context). Rewrite the
FilesystemTool description decision tree so edit (exact text) is the default and
edit_lines (by line numbers) is the deterministic option; smart_edit is reserved
for genuinely semantic changes that cannot be expressed as exact text or line
numbers. Strengthen the old_not_unique hint to steer back to edit/edit_lines
before smart_edit. Add an "Editing policy" section to the navi_code and
developer profile prompts reinforcing the same priority.

Update Navi Code profile: config, prompts, docs, and env example
...
- Sync navi_code profile tools with current codebase (memory, schedule_recall, manage_recall, switch_profile, list_profiles)
- Remove image_view and MCP tools from navi_code; keep local terminal focus
- Update system prompt and persona for terminal-first coding assistant
- Update docs/navi_code.md, docs/profiles.md, docs/config.md for new tool set
- Refresh .env.navi_code.example with current config variables
- Remove stale CLI prototype directories (cli/, navi_code_cli/)
