Closes the constitution P0 cluster and the first prefix-token cut:
- #4777: delete the inverted MEMORY_GUIDANCE Tier ladder; assert
precedence only in BASE_PROMPT § Whose word wins; slim Authority Recap
to a pointer; reject rank-restating recap overrides; align
.codewhale/constitution.json authority[] with the canonical five.
- #4778: strip Tier/Statute/Article vocabulary from approval, compaction,
memory, and personality overlays so layers describe behavior, not rank.
- #4780: turn_meta keeps mode/posture as facts and stops re-embedding mode
doctrine and permission-question essays every user message.
- #4781: project context pack defaults off (opt-in via project_pack=true).
- #4784: compress LANGUAGE_PROMPT while keeping English law / user-language
reply, including reasoning_content and next-turn switch.
Tests: only_the_constitution_states_precedence, memory hygiene, turn_meta
fact-only assertions, project_pack default-off.
