Run this at the START of every cognition cycle, before any other substantive work, and again whenever a cycle ended with unresolved commitments or an unusually long gap since the last cycle. It restores cross-cycle state: read the last cycle's log entry first, scan unread conversations, calendar due buckets, the work queue, and open commitments, route each item (message / act / defer), then write the updated log as the final action so the next cycle inherits this one's state instead of cold-booting.
