Tell the summarizer who the characters are
`_create_due_memories` sent six actions of second-person prose and nothing else — no protagonist, no cast, no setting, and no instruction about what person to write in. So for `You push the door open. She grabs your arm.` the only honest memory was "You entered a room and she stopped you", which names nobody when it is retrieved forty turns later. The framing wandered too: with no rule, the model picked a person per call, and one bank ended up holding "You entered the crypt", "The player entered the crypt" and "He entered the crypt" for the same kind of event. Both prompts now carry a cast brief and a framing rule: third person, the protagonist by name, other characters named rather than left as bare pronouns. The rule states its reason, because a memory really is read in isolation much later and a model told why complies far more consistently than one handed a bare instruction. The cast comes from the story cards, not from `stat_schema`. Every schema NPC is already turned into a card at adventure creation, deduplicated against the hand-written ones by name, so the cards cover schema NPCs, an author's own cards, and an adventure with no RPG layer at all through one path instead of three. Keyword matching alone was not enough, and finding that out changed the design. Built that way first, the brief for "She grabs your arm" listed the protagonist and nobody else: the block that most needs a cast is exactly the one written in bare pronouns, and Gwen's trigger keys include "her" but the text says "she". So matched cards come first and the remaining slots are filled with the other character cards. Places and items are not topped up — an unmentioned tavern is not who "she" was — though a place that is mentioned still matches normally. The asymmetry with the turn prompt is deliberate: an untriggered card is wrong as lore and right in a roster, because the roster answers "who could these pronouns be" rather than "what is on stage". Fixed descriptions only, never live values. `Gwen: trust 40 (wary)` in the brief would make the same event summarized at two different times come out framed differently, which is the fault this removes. An adventure with no persona still gets the cast and the setting, and the model is told to write "the player". One with nothing to say sends byte for byte the prompt it sent before.

Give the adventure a persona, so the protagonist has a name
The player had stats but no identity. `stat_schema.player` carried hp and
mana beside `npc.gwen.trust`, but where an NPC has a name and a
description the player had neither, so the block rendered as
`You: hp 100/100` and nothing in the prompt said who "you" was.
Three columns on `adventures`: name, pronouns, description. All
user-only, all optional, and an empty name means the app behaves exactly
as it did before — no backfill, no special case for an adventure that
predates the migration.
They are adventure columns rather than part of `stat_schema` for two
reasons. An adventure with no RPG layer still has a protagonist, and
that is the case this was added for. And `worldstate.schema._initials`
treats every dict inside a stat section as a stat definition, so a
persona placed there would be instantiated, rendered in the guide, and
handed an `initial` value as though it were one.
The paths do not change. `player.hp` stays `player.hp`; only the label
moves, to `Kaelen (player): hp 100/100`, the same way NPC lines already
print a display name beside the id. A path carrying the persona's name
would break the moment a player renamed their character, because
`_history_text` replays every past turn's stored delta into the prompt
and those blobs hold literal `player.hp` strings.
The section sits in the system block. Only the user can edit it, so it
never changes mid-story and stays inside the cached prefix. That is what
makes it free, and it is why the AI must not be able to move it — a
delta aimed at `persona.*` is already refused by `_resolve`, and there
is now a test holding that in place.
The modal that used to appear only for scenarios with `${Placeholder}`
tokens now always opens, and is where the character is named. Persona
and placeholders stay independent: a scenario asking for `${Name}` is
asking its own question. No scenario in the repo uses placeholders at
all, so the overlap is hypothetical.
Phase 2, which feeds the persona and the cast to the summarizer, is
written up in plan/18 and not started. That is where the memory-quality
problem actually gets fixed; this change is what gives it a name to use.
Not yet driven in a browser — plan/18 lists what to check by hand.

Read a window of the story per turn instead of all of it
Two reads still grew without bound after the snapshot fix. `Action.variants` holds every discarded retry attempt, but a list response only needs how many there are — so each retry permanently added ~5 KB to every later load of that adventure. Defer the column and keep the count beside it (migration 37, backfilled server-side), with set_variants() as the one write path that keeps the two in step. `story_actions()` walked adventure.actions, then every caller threw almost all of it away: the builder concatenates the story and immediately cuts it back to the token budget, the NPC check looks at the last 6, retrieval at the last 4, the cursor clamp only wants a count. A turn on a 200-action adventure read 839 KB to use ~70 KB, and grew with every turn played. app/context/ history.py serves those shapes from SQL; window_covering() measures the actions it fetched and projects how many more it needs, fetching only the part it does not already hold. Memorybank cursors move to position_of_index() and settled_count()/settled_slice() — same arithmetic, no full list. The scripting pipeline still receives the whole history per AI Dungeon's API, and every helper reuses adventure.actions when it is already loaded, so a scripted adventure pays what it always did and never twice. Measured at production shape: retry tax 5.1 KB -> 0; turn 200 839 KB -> 129 KB and flat from ~turn 50; a 200-turn playthrough 84.5 MB -> 23.0 MB; a delete 115 KB -> 5 KB. Verified the window builds a byte-identical prompt to the full story across budgets from 1K to 100K tokens, with and without the retry exclusion - this is a cost change and nothing else. Cursor helpers checked against the old list arithmetic, including after deleting a middle action. Counts are real SELECT count(...): Query.count() wraps the entity select in a subquery, so the SQL named every deferred column and the egress guard could not tell it apart from a bulk fetch. 139 tests pass; the four new guards verified by sabotage.
