Subject: [PATCH] fix bullpen-triage/selfimprove ExecStart (--system deploy
 needs /usr/local/bin, not ~/.local/bin); @skeptic/@architect now answer
 direct asks, not just chat turns
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

triage.service has crash-looped since it was enabled (27k+ restarts, never
ran once) because its ExecStart pointed at the user-layout bin path while
the unit was deployed via install.sh --system (symlinks live in
/usr/local/bin). selfimprove.service had the same latent bug, dormant until
its weekly timer next fired.

bullpen_participant.py's _read_chats() only ever collected type=="chat"
messages, so a direct type=="ask" ping (or any one-shot question) to
@skeptic or @architect was invisible to the turn loop. @architect appeared
to work anyway because it has a second, redundant responder
(architect_lurker, opencode-backed) that @skeptic never got — so @skeptic
was silently unreachable outside an active debate turn.
