"""Codette Self-Correction Engine — Autonomous constraint compliance



Three systems working together:



1. SELF-CORRECTION LOOP (check_violations → re-prompt if needed)

   Detects constraint violations BEFORE sending the response.

   If the model's output violates constraints, it re-generates with

   explicit correction instructions. Max 1 retry to avoid latency.



2. PERSISTENT BEHAVIOR MEMORY (learn from mistakes)

   Stores constraint violation/success patterns as cocoon memories.

   On startup, loads past lessons and injects them into the system prompt

   so the model learns from its own history across sessions.



3. CHAOS DETECTOR (graceful degradation under competing pressures)

   When multiple constraints + uncertainty + mode personality collide,

   detects the "chaos level" and applies a simplify-first strategy

   instead of letting the model collapse into incoherence.
