MESO: Knowledge base system improvements and deny-list fixes

Summary

Session on 2026-02-17 analyzed the PPISP paper (NVIDIA, radiance field photometric correction), reorganized the research knowledge base, built 4 new skills + 2 new rules, audited the full MESO system (22 rules, 23 skills, 5 MCP servers), and identified deficiencies.

Completed

Research knowledge base reorganized (9 domains, 40+ files, symlinks for game design)
Full RAG re-index (41 files, 581 chunks in knowledge_base collection)
Memory graph updated (CV domain, PPISP paper entities)
4 new skills: session-startup, research-intake, knowledge-hygiene, cross-domain-synthesis
2 new rules: 18-rule-pipeline, domains/computer-vision
Deny-list false positives fixed (token, credentials, secret, password, api_key patterns)
Committed to ~/.claude local repo (ce3816d)

Remaining Work

Deny-list fixes (quick)

Fix Bash(docker *) — too broad, blocks docker ps/logs. Replace with specific dangerous ops (docker run --privileged, docker exec, etc.)
Fix Bash(systemctl *) — blocks systemctl status. Allow read-only ops.
Fix Bash(journalctl *) — blocks log reading entirely. Allow read-only.
Fix Bash(. *) — blocks bash source command. Scope to prevent sourcing untrusted scripts only.

System deficiencies identified

Slim verbose rules (04, 05, 09, 12, 13) to constraint-only, move methodology to skills — frees ~8KB context budget
Merge testing-strategy into test-generation (overlapping content)
Add feedback loop: knowledge-hygiene quarterly scan of autonomy-correction entities → propose rule amendments
Fix NREL MCP server (enabled in settings but server files deleted) — remove from .mcp.json
Document 17 dormant government API MCP servers in a manifest
Update data-pipelines domain rule to reference API→GIS pipeline
