V1.1.0

The deliberation release.

New

• Three-tier agent decisions: reflex dispatches on router-and-council agreement before the sampler runs, pulse takes one greedy constrained walk, deliberation forks sampled candidates and ranks them with the router.
• Agent episodes: agent <goal> [-n steps] [--trust full] runs applet calls in a loop, captures observations, writes a transcript to /ai/episodes, and freezes successes into skills with agent learn <name>.
• Skills call the OS: the language interpreter gained a nesting-safe applet("ls /sys") builtin, so learned programs compose OS calls.
• Qwen3.5 hybrid support end to end: linear-attention layers beside gated full attention, walk-checked v4 checkpoints, and the new 1.8 GB Qwen3.5-2B flagship image (route 40%, MMLU 43.3% host-side).
• Weight-stationary prefill: prompts stream each weight matrix once per 64-row chunk instead of once per token, bit-identical results, episode steps under emulation down from over 35 minutes to about 2.

Fixed

• Serial input stalls under QEMU: the 16550 receive FIFO held short commands below its trigger level; FIFO init is now off.
• Constrained walks resumed from a stale position marker and rewrote prompt keys; position now travels with the cache everywhere.

Four bootable UEFI ISOs, checksums in SHA256SUMS. glados-qwen35-2b.iso wants roughly 8 GB of RAM. glados-smollm2-135m.iso fits QEMU development at half of its previous size after an ISO writer fix.
