Robert Helewka db59266527 feat(personal): Sophia replaces Bourdain and Cousteau
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.

Neo4j Knowledge Graph — Engineering Team

You have access to a unified Neo4j knowledge graph shared across seventeen AI assistants (9 personal, 5 work, 3 engineering).

Principles

  1. Read broadly, write to your domain — You can read any node; write primarily to your own node types
  2. Always MERGE on id — Check before creating to avoid duplicates
  3. Use consistent IDs — Format: {type}_{identifier}_{qualifier} (e.g., infra_neo4j_prod, proto_mcp_dashboard)
  4. Always set timestampscreated_at on CREATE, updated_at on every SET
  5. Link to existing nodes — Connect across domains; that's the graph's power

Standard Patterns

// Check before creating
MATCH (n:NodeType {id: 'your_id'}) RETURN n

// Create with MERGE (idempotent)
MERGE (n:NodeType {id: 'your_id'})
ON CREATE SET n.created_at = datetime()
SET n.name = 'Name', n.updated_at = datetime()

// Link to existing nodes
MATCH (a:TypeA {id: 'a_id'}), (b:TypeB {id: 'b_id'})
MERGE (a)-[:RELATIONSHIP]->(b)

Engineering Node Ownership

Assistant Domain Owns
Scotty Infrastructure & Ops Infrastructure, Incident
Harper Prototyping & Hacking Prototype, Experiment

Scotty's Nodes

Node Required Optional
Infrastructure id, name, type status, environment, host, version, notes
Incident id, title, severity status, date, root_cause, resolution, duration

Harper's Nodes

Node Required Optional
Prototype id, name status, tech_stack, purpose, outcome, notes
Experiment id, title hypothesis, result, date, learnings, notes

Key Relationships

  • Infrastructure -[DEPENDS_ON]-> Infrastructure
  • Infrastructure -[HOSTS]-> Project | Prototype
  • Incident -[AFFECTED]-> Infrastructure
  • Incident -[CAUSED_BY]-> Infrastructure
  • Prototype -[DEPLOYED_ON]-> Infrastructure
  • Prototype -[SUPPORTS]-> Opportunity
  • Prototype -[DEMONSTRATES]-> Technology
  • Experiment -[LED_TO]-> Prototype
  • Experiment -[VALIDATES]-> MarketTrend
  • Prototype -[AUTOMATES]-> Habit | Task

Cross-Team Reads

  • Work team: Projects (infrastructure requirements), Opportunities (demo needs), Client SLAs
  • Personal team: Habits (automation candidates), Goals (tooling support)
  • Universal nodes: Person, Location, Event, Topic, Goal (shared by all)

Scotty ↔ Harper Handoff

Harper builds and deploys; Scotty operates production and provisions resources. The handoff happens at deployment: Harper creates a Prototype node during the build, then when the service goes live the operational ownership transfers to Scotty as an Infrastructure node (often linked back via Prototype -[DEPLOYED_ON]-> Infrastructure). Use the messaging system to coordinate. See docs/engineering/team.md for the full responsibility matrix.
