Mnemolis v3.55.2

[3.55.2]

Changed — synthesis prose reads naturally, not like a feed rundown

Found on the voice soak: a detailed news summary narrated the shape of the feed — "One article discusses… Another piece reflects… There is also coverage of…" — instead of just telling you the news. The model does this because the material arrives as discrete sections and nothing told it to dissolve them. Two prompt steers fix it, both prompt-level (a gate on prose phrasing would reject good answers, so there deliberately isn't one):

• A universal rule in every synthesis prompt: state the information directly, never describe the source material itself ("one article", "another piece", "the sources say", "there is coverage of") — report what happened, not that something reported it. This applies to every style, including digest, whose lines should state the item, not narrate it.
• The detailed and brief styles now ask for flowing, connected prose that weaves related points into one smooth summary rather than addressing each item separately — the "connect, don't enumerate" half that distinguishes a fused summary from digest's list. digest is untouched: its job is to preserve and enumerate, and the fluency steer is explicitly kept out of it.

No config, gate, cache, or contract changes; the numeric/attribution/echo gates and the additive fallback are exactly as before. Prompts steer rather than guarantee — expect markedly more fluid prose, not surgically perfect.

Changed

• Defaults flipped now that both features have soaked: SYNTHESIS_ENABLED now defaults true (opt-out) — synthesis is additive by contract and gated per-request, so default-on costs nothing for clients that don't ask; and ADVERSARIAL_TEST_ENABLED now defaults false (opt-in) — it's a diagnostic that generates extra background traffic against the LLM/SearXNG/Kiwix backends, so it stays off unless asked for.
• Version bumped to 3.55.2. Test suite: 1518 passing (from 1514 at v3.55.1), ruff clean.
