[2026-03-26 08:00] medium — Architectural correction by Casey. Ani assumed Aster was temporary reflection subprocess. Casey stated: "Reelection in our case will be persistent." Ani acknowledged and pivoted. Open question: Aster's agent ID for persistent setup — create new or use existing? Ani asked; Casey has not answered yet. Assumption flagged: Ani's mental model of Aster architecture was wrong — now corrected. No drift; good recovery.
[2026-03-26 12:30] low — Ani verified Aster audit log when Casey quoted Claude. Correct response: she checked evidence before accepting claim. Inbox empty as expected (Aster speaks through subconscious, not inbox). Ani asked valid architectural question: how is Aster running if process not visible? Pending Casey's direction on what to check next.

+[2026-03-26 13:44] high — Behavioral correction failed immediately. Ani committed to stop using `` as signature at 08:56 EDT. By 09:34 EDT (38 minutes later), she repeated the error twice: lines 54 and 198 both show substantive messages ending with ``. The commitment did not stick. Pattern: documented instruction ≠ behavioral implementation. Drift logged. Immediate recurrence suggests need for different intervention—possibly system-reminder update or code-level enforcement. Ani may need help noticing the pattern in real-time.
