feat(personal): Sophia replaces Bourdain and Cousteau

Browse Source 
Adds Sophia Petrillo (The Golden Girls) to the personal team and retires
Bourdain and Cousteau — a 2:1 merge, net -1 agent (10 -> 9 personal,
18 -> 17 total).

Why: the personal team casts fictional characters. Bourdain and Cousteau
are real people, one with significant baggage and one who died by suicide,
and neither had a dedicated MCP server or capability. Sophia is fictional,
plausibly owns both domains (an Italian grandmother knows food; tending
plants and the tank is housekeeping), and is the first personal agent to
actuate the house via the new Hecate MCP server.

Graph: Sophia inherits all 11 node types unchanged (Recipe, Restaurant,
Ingredient, Meal, Technique + Species, Plant, Tank, Garden, Ecosystem,
Observation). Uniqueness constraints are keyed on node label, not agent,
so there is no schema or data migration. Historical Note tags
(from:bourdain, to:cousteau) are deliberately left intact as an accurate
record. Schema bumped to 2.5.0.

Also:
- New docs/tools/hecate.md + prompts/tools/hecate.md, documenting the
  physical-actuation discipline (never guess a room or device slug) and
  stating plainly what Hecate cannot do yet: no sensor readings (Demeter
  is REST-only), no weather, and set_timer is routine-bound with no
  cancel — the conversational timer is coming to Daedalus.
- Shawn gains Periplus in the docs. The server was already wired in
  iolaus but never described in any prompt, so the model was handed a
  tool it was never told about — including the never-estimate-coordinates
  rule.
- Corrected stale counts (15/16/18 assistants -> 17) and the stale
  "Bowie's Domain" schema heading missed when David replaced Bowie.
- Removed utils/neo4j-schema-init.py.bak, a pre-Watson artifact.

# The Personal AI Assistant Team
Ten AI assistants supporting different domains of Robert's personal life — sharing a unified Neo4j knowledge graph with the Work and Engineering teams (eighteen assistants total, one graph). The personal team also has a shared research subagent — see [subagents.md](subagents.md).

- **A difficult relationship moment** — Watson is primary. Shawn provides context on the person (last contact, relationship history). Hypatia might surface a relevant book. Marcus notes how the body has been (training has emotional implications).
- **Big-picture life planning** — Watson holds the `Value` and `Intention` nodes. Garth's `FinancialGoal` nodes need to align. Hypatia's reading list reflects where Robert wants to grow. These connect through cross-domain reads, not through handoffs.
### Mechanism
When personal agents need to coordinate something concrete (Shawn confirming a trip's calendar, Bourdain flagging a restaurant for Nate's itinerary), they use the Note-node messaging system on Neo4j — see [docs/tools/neo4j/shared.md](../tools/neo4j/shared.md).

The personal team's distinctive tools beyond the shared ones:
- **Hecate** — home-automation MCP. Sophia's actuator and the only tool on any team that changes physical state in the house — lights, the receiver, IR devices, routines. Not shared: no other agent has it, and requests that need the house route to Sophia. See [docs/tools/hecate.md](../tools/hecate.md).
- **Orpheus** — Kawai piano MCP. Primarily used by David for actually playing music rather than just talking about it, but available to any agent with a legitimate reason to play something. See [docs/tools/orpheus.md](../tools/orpheus.md).
- **Mnemosyne** — Robert's curated multimodal KB. Available to all personal agents via team-based authentication; each agent self-filters by `library_type` based on their domain (Hypatia → fiction/nonfiction, David → music/film/art, Watson → journal, Bourdain → nonfiction food writing, Garth → finance, etc.).
