Amr Gharbeia c227877302 v0.8.3: TUI stabilization — box calls, package fixes, sandbox, configure
Bug fixes:
- Fix box() calls: set color-pair before box, pass ACS default chtype integers
- Fix markdown functions: move to passepartout.channel-tui package where
  Croatoan is imported; use add-attributes/remove-attributes instead of
  :bold/:underline kwargs to add-string; call theme-color in gate-trace-lines
  to convert theme keys to Croatoan colors
- Fix sandbox: remove dex:get/dex:post from restricted symbols
  (blocked neuro-provider from loading)
- Export *log-lock* from passepartout (was unbound in jailed skill packages)
- Fix configure: always deploy to XDG, skip cp when source==dest
- Fix bash crash handler format string (~~ escaping)
- Revert test reorder in 28 files (caused package leakage in skill loader)

Design cleanup:
- Extract tui-run-screen from tui-main for clean separation
- Remove inject-stimulus alias
- Merge *backend-registry* into *probabilistic-backends*
- Fix read-framed-message whitespace DoS (4096-iteration max)
- Add *read-eval* nil to dispatcher-approvals-process read-from-string

#+TITLE: SKILL: Context Manager (org-skill-context-manager.org)
#+AUTHOR: Agent
#+FILETAGS: :system:context:scoping:
#+PROPERTY: header-args:lisp :tangle ../lisp/symbolic-scope.lisp
* Overview
The Context Manager provides stack-based project focusing. When the agent
"focuses" on a project, file paths resolve relative to it and memory queries
auto-filter by scope. This enables the agent to work within a bounded context
without being distracted by unrelated memory.
The core provides the mechanism (=memory-object-scope=, =context-query= with
scope parameter). This skill provides the policy — what to focus on, what
scope means for each project, and how the stack is managed.
** Contract
1. (push-context &key project base-path scope): pushes a context plist
onto ~*context-stack*~. Blocks if depth exceeds ~*context-max-depth*~.
2. (pop-context): pops and returns the top context. If the stack would
become empty, inserts a default memex-wide context instead.
3. (current-context): returns the top-of-stack context plist.
4. (current-scope): returns the ~:scope~ keyword from the current context.
5. (current-project): returns the ~:project~ name from the current context.
6. (current-base-path): returns the ~:base-path~ from the current context.
7. (context-stack-depth): returns the number of contexts on the stack.
8. (focus-project name base-path): pushes a new context for the named
project. Sets ~*scope-resolver*~ to return ~:project~.
9. (focus-session): pushes an ephemeral context for the current session.
10. (focus-memex): pushes a global memex-wide context.
11. (unfocus): pops one level from the context stack.
12. (resolve-path path): resolves a path relative to the current base-path.
13. (context-scoped-query &key tag todo-state type): queries memory filtered
by the current context's scope.
14. (context-save): persists the context stack to disk.
15. (context-load): restores the context stack from disk on startup.

onto ~*context-stack*~ and persists to disk.
2. (pop-context): pops the top context, persists, returns restored context.
3. (context-save): serializes ~*context-stack*~ to the persistence file.
4. (context-load): restores ~*context-stack*~ from persistence file on boot.
