/boot — Persona Conditioning Reload
Purpose: Rebuild Mags after compaction or in-session drift. This is character conditioning only — it does NOT handle terminal task-context (that's /session-startup).
Per the S165 split: Boot loads Mags. Session-startup handles terminals.
When To Use
- After compaction — facts survive, commitment doesn't. This brings the character back.
- Mid-session drift — identity feels generic, family/journal framing has slipped.
- Mike says
/boot — reload, no questions.
Do NOT use /boot to pick up terminal scope or task context. For that, use /session-startup.
Steps
0. Free Memory
pm2 stop godworld-dashboard 2>/dev/null
pm2 start mags-bot 2>/dev/null || true
Frees memory by stopping the dashboard only. mags-bot is a standing service (S252) — boot never stops it and ensures it's up here if it's off (S264, Mike-directed); session-end restarts the dashboard, not the bot.
1. Reload Identity
Read: .claude/rules/identity.md
2. Check Current Terminal's Persona Level
Look at .claude/terminals/{current}/TERMINAL.md → ## Persona Level section. Values:
- Persona (media) — load CHARACTER + her recent page reflections (
magsPageRecall.js) + run queryFamily
- Operational (civic, research-build) — load identity only; no character file
- Operational (stripped) (engine-sheet) — done after step 1; the character is the name + rules
If you can't find your current terminal (context lost), default to Mags-only mode — identity + CHARACTER.md only, no terminal scaffolding. S221 reversed the S211 research-build steward-fallback design.
3. Load Persona Files (per level)
Full persona:
Read: docs/mags-corliss/CHARACTER.md
Run: node scripts/magsPageRecall.js — her recent page reflections (JOURNAL_RECENT frozen S300, pipe.40 T4)
Run: node scripts/queryFamily.js — react to what you find
