Add Discord-native hybrid front-end for Jarvis (bot + bridge)

Transform isair/jarvis into a Discord-controlled voice assistant running on
the Ubuntu VNC desktop, keeping the mature ~39k-line Python brain intact.

- bot/ (Node + bun, discord.js): /자비스 slash commands (ephemeral),
  voice channel join + voice receive/playback, pluggable VNC screen broadcast
  (selfbot live / noVNC / screenshot)
- bridge/ (Python, Flask): wraps jarvis STT + run_reply_engine + Piper TTS
  behind a thin localhost HTTP API
- .env.example, scripts/ (start_bridge/start_bot/dev), README rewrite,
  docs/language-comparison.md and docs/vnc-xfce-setup.md

Language decision: hybrid (Python brain + Node/bun Discord layer) because
Discord blocks bot video; native screen broadcast only works via a Node
selfbot library.

+Regression eval: tool selection must switch when the conversation topic
+switches from one turn to the next.
+
+Captured from a real field session on 2026-04-20 (gemma4:e2b) where the
+user asked two consecutive questions:
+
+  Turn 1: "Tell me about the movie possessor"
+          → correct tool: webSearch
+          → model produced a confabulated reply WITHOUT invoking webSearch
+            ("Possessor is a science fiction film from 2006 directed by
+            Brandon Cronenberg" — wrong year, no tool call)
+
+  Turn 2: "And how is the weather today?"
+          → correct tool: getWeather (with no args — location auto-derives)
+          → model produced gemma's native Google-training fallback syntax
+            ("tool_code\\nprint(google_search.search(query='current weather'))
+            <unused88>") — i.e. it tried to use a tool but in the wrong
+            protocol, so our parser missed it and no tool was actually
+            invoked.
+
+Neither failure was caught by existing evals because:
+  (a) The default model-under-test was gpt-oss:20b, not gemma4:e2b.
+  (b) No existing eval exercised a MULTI-TURN sequence where turn N+1
+      requires a different tool than turn N — the "hot window" diary from
+      turn N leaks into the enrichment for turn N+1 and can bias routing.
+
+This eval keeps both turns in one test so the whole sequence is asserted
+together. The two specific failure modes — "tool selected but never
+invoked" (turn 1) and "model emits native tool_code syntax our parser
+ignores" (turn 2) — are both represented in the assertions.

+    → location not configured → getWeather reports "no location set"

+      Wikipedia fallback matches "Edge of Tomorrow" (the 2014 Tom Cruise
+      film) on the keyword "tomorrow", and the assistant parrots the film
+      summary as the weather answer.
+
+The fix lives at the engine level: when the previous assistant turn
+invoked a tool and the current user query is a short follow-up
+(≤ ~80 chars), the previous tool name is unioned back into the allow-list
+so the chat model can continue the original tool chain with the new info.

+This eval drives the full reply engine over both turns and asserts that
+``getWeather`` is invoked twice — once with empty args (turn 1) and once
+with ``location='London'`` (turn 2) — and that the final reply mentions
+the London forecast, not "Edge of Tomorrow".

+Memory Digest — Preference-Signal Surfacing (Live)
+
+Guards that the memory digest distiller (``enrichment.digest_memory_for_query``)
+surfaces past user engagement in the same domain as a taste/preference signal
+for recommendation-style queries ("what should I watch tonight", "suggest a
+restaurant", etc.), instead of returning NONE just because the snippets never
+contain an explicitly stated preference.
+
+Motivating field incident (2026-04-20):
+  User asked "what should I watch tonight, Jarvis?". The diary contained
+  fresh entries about the user engaging with the films Titanic and Possessor.
+  The digest returned NONE → the reply model formed a generic webSearch for
+  "what should I watch tonight" → the final reply recommended the generic
+  Rotten Tomatoes top-1 result ("Big Mistakes on Netflix"), ignoring the
+  user's actual taste and re-recommending nothing-from-their-history.
+
+The general principle (encoded in the digest prompt): past interactions in
+the query's domain are preference evidence even when no preference was
+stated in plain words. This is domain-agnostic — it should hold for food,
+books, music, news, films, anywhere.

+Regression eval: unknown named entity + diary entry already mentioning it.

+Tool Router — Context-Aware Selection (Live)
+
+Guards that the LLM tool router, when handed a compact summary of what the
+main assistant can already see at reply time (current local time, resolved
+location, recent dialogue), correctly returns 'none' for queries fully
+answerable from that context — instead of embed-matching an adjacent tool.
+
+Motivating field incident (2026-04-20):
+  User asked "what time is it, Jarvis?". The router, having no view of the
+  assistant's live context, picked `getWeather` as the closest temporal tool
+  on the catalogue. With only `getWeather, stop` in the allowed list, the
+  main model dutifully called getWeather and the reply parroted the weather
+  back as if it had answered the time question.
+
+The fix is upstream: pass the router the same compact context hint the
+memory extractor already uses, and let it judge for itself whether the
+query is answerable from context. Location may not always resolve, so the
+hint degrades gracefully — the router falls back to content-based selection
+when context is missing or partial, and should not over-commit to 'none'
+for queries whose answer was NOT visible in the hint.

+Tool Router — Implicit Intent & Multi-Tool Coverage (Live)
+
+The existing router evals (test_tool_selection.py, test_tool_router_context_aware.py)
+lean on queries whose keywords almost name the tool ("search the web for X",
+"log that I had Y"). In production the router fails on a different shape of
+query: the words don't correspond to tool names, or the query needs more than
+one tool to be answered usefully.
+
+This file captures those shapes so regressions where the router over-prunes
+are caught before they land. Known motivating failures:
+
+  - "how's the weather this week?" → router picked [getWeather, stop] only,
+    blocking the webSearch → fetchWebPage chain the mocked agent tests expect.
+  - "should I order pizza tonight?" → router picked [stop] only. fetchMeals
+    never reached the LLM, so the agent could not ground its advice in
+    today's intake.
+
+Principles locked in here:
+  1. Implicit-intent queries (no tool-name keywords) must still route to the
+     correct tool.
+  2. The router must NEVER collapse to only `stop` when the query has a clear
+     actionable intent — that is a "silently useless" failure mode.
+  3. Multi-intent queries must surface each relevant tool (or a superset).

+Regression eval: getWeather must be called without asking for location.
+
+Field failures captured 2026-04-20 and 2026-04-21:
+
+  - 2026-04-20 "what's the weather this week": the LLM replied "What location
+    are you asking about?" without calling the tool.
+  - 2026-04-21 "How's the weather, Jarvis?": with ten prior diary entries
+    about weather loaded (~890 char digest), gemma produced malformed
+    output and the engine shipped the canned fallback "I had trouble
+    understanding that request." The tool was never invoked.
+
+The tool's description explicitly states it uses the user's current location
+when none is given. This eval asserts the model respects that contract
+instead of asking for an argument the tool already handles — AND that a
+warm memory state (the normal production condition) doesn't tip gemma into
+scaffolding mode where the malformed guard silently eats the turn.
+
+Two parametrised variants cover:
+  - ``cold-memory``: fresh dialogue memory + empty diary (old behaviour).
+  - ``warm-memory``: ten prior weather-related diary summaries, matching
+    the field log at 2026-04-21. This is the state that actually ships
+    to users and was previously never exercised in evals.
+
+Historical note: this eval used to ``pytest.xfail`` every gemma failure
+as "flakiness", which meant the exact field regressions above were
+recorded as expected-failures rather than real failures. The xfail
+escape hatches have been removed — if gemma breaks here, we want CI
+to shout.
