system that uses an old, rule‑based planner to manage complex, memory‑heavy tasks (like running PersonaLive and a local GPT), letting the AI keep track of each room’s start state so it can launch the right applications without causing OOM crashes. https://catpea.com/permalink/8dc522cc-a286-41de-8baf-f9cb6fefe513/ https://catpea.com/permalink/8dc522cc-a286-41de-8baf-f9cb6fefe513/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026
