From a18fd1c44e13f87f5bf06eafbc9a6f8cc026e869 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 16:48:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: remove Vi identity from calm conversations Vi identity is a separate training concern. Seed conversations now contain only philosophical/mindfulness content for the R300 calm phase.
