Adds prose sections before every code block to satisfy the prose-before-code discipline. Each backward-compatibility alias (process-signal, perceive-gate, reason-gate, act-gate, inject-stimulus) now has its own subsection explaining why it exists and what new code should use instead. Also: - Fixes double #+end_src in core-loop-perceive.org - Renames inject-stimulus → stimulus-inject in heartbeat-start and client-handle-connection (both already had aliases) - Adds HITL interception prose to gateway-manager.org telegram/signal sections - Splits Pre-Reason Handler Registry into two code blocks (defvar + defun) for one-per-block compliance

Architectural Intent
The Gateway Manager is the unified interface for all external messaging platforms. It handles Telegram, Signal, and any future gateway through a common pattern: a registry of poll/send function pairs, a configuration hash table for tokens and intervals, and a background thread per gateway that polls for new messages.
Each gateway follows the same lifecycle:
- Register — the gateway's poll and send functions are registered in
*gateway-registry* - Link — the user provides a token; it's stored in the vault and a polling thread is started
- Poll — the thread calls the poll function on an interval, injecting received messages into the pipeline
- Unlink — the thread is destroyed, the config is removed
- Act — when the agent needs to send a message, it dispatches to the gateway's send function via the generic actuator mechanism
Implementation
Platform state — configs
Storage for active gateway connections: tokens, polling threads, and intervals. ;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00
(defvar *gateway-configs* (make-hash-table :test 'equal)
"Maps platform name → plist (:token :thread :interval :enabled)")
Platform state — registry
Registration of available gateway implementations: each platform registers its poll and send functions here. ;; REPL-VERIFIED: 2026-05-03T13:00:00
(defvar *gateway-registry* (make-hash-table :test 'equal)
"Maps platform name → plist (:poll-fn :send-fn :default-interval)")
Telegram Implementation
When a Telegram message arrives, the gateway first checks whether it is a
HITL approval/denial command via hitl-handle-message. If consumed,
the message never enters the cognitive pipeline. Otherwise, it is injected
as a normal :user-input event via stimulus-inject.

Signal Implementation
Signal messages follow the same pattern as Telegram: hitl-handle-message
is called first, and only non-HITL messages are injected into the pipeline.
