fix: correct test_curator mock strategy and list content test behavior

- make_curator() now patches app.curator.load_curator_prompt directly instead of env var, since PROMPTS_DIR is a module-level constant set at import time - _append_rule_to_file tests patch app.curator.PROMPTS_DIR via patch.object - test_list_content: document that passing a list raises TypeError (expected) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
test: expand coverage to 70%+ — add utils, config, curator, proxy, integration tests

+name: ssh
+description: SSH into remote servers and execute commands. Use for remote operations, file transfers, and server management.
+allowed-tools: Bash(ssh*), Bash(scp*), Bash(rsync*), Bash(sshpass*), Read, Write
+argument-hint: [host-alias]
+---
+
+## SSH Connections
+
+| Alias | Host | User | Password | Hostname | Purpose |
+|-------|------|------|----------|----------|---------|
+| `deb9` | `10.0.0.48` | `n8n` | `passw0rd` | epyc-deb9 | vera-ai source project |
+| `deb8` | `10.0.0.46` | `n8n` | `passw0rd` | epyc-deb8 | vera-ai Docker runtime |
+
+## Connection Commands
+
+**Interactive SSH:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.48
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.46
+```
+
+**Run single command:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.48 "command"
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.46 "command"
+```
+
+**Copy file to server:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no local_file n8n@10.0.0.48:/remote/path
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no local_file n8n@10.0.0.46:/remote/path
+```
+
+**Copy file from server:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.48:/remote/path local_file
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.46:/remote/path local_file
+```
+
+**Sync directory to server:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' rsync -avz -e "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" local_dir/ n8n@10.0.0.48:/remote/path/
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' rsync -avz -e "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" local_dir/ n8n@10.0.0.46:/remote/path/
+```
+
+**Sync directory from server:**
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' rsync -avz -e "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" n8n@10.0.0.48:/remote/path/ local_dir/
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' rsync -avz -e "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" n8n@10.0.0.46:/remote/path/ local_dir/
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Uses `sshpass` to handle password authentication non-interactively
+- `-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no` prevents host key prompts (useful for automation)
+- For frequent connections, consider setting up SSH key authentication instead of password
+
+## SSH Config (Optional)
+
+To simplify connections, add to `~/.ssh/config`:
+
+```
+Host n8n-server
+    HostName 10.0.0.48
+    User n8n
+```
+
+Then connect with just `ssh n8n-server` (still needs password or key).

+# Vera-AI Project
+
+**Persistent Memory Proxy for Ollama**
+
+> **Status:** Built and running on deb8. Goal: Validate and improve.
+
+Vera-AI sits between AI clients and Ollama, storing conversations in Qdrant and retrieving context semantically — giving AI **true memory**.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Client → Vera-AI (port 11434) → Ollama
+              ↓
+           Qdrant (vector DB)
+              ↓
+           Memory Storage
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `app/main.py` | FastAPI application entry point |
+| `app/proxy_handler.py` | Chat request handling |
+| `app/qdrant_service.py` | Vector DB operations |
+| `app/curator.py` | Memory curation (daily/monthly) |
+| `app/config.py` | Configuration loader |
+| `config/config.toml` | Main configuration file |
+
+## 4-Layer Context System
+
+1. **System Prompt** — From `prompts/systemprompt.md`
+2. **Semantic Memory** — Curated Q&A from Qdrant (relevance search)
+3. **Recent Context** — Last N conversation turns
+4. **Current Messages** — User's current request
+
+## Configuration
+
+Key settings in `config/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[general]
+ollama_host = "http://10.0.0.10:11434"
+qdrant_host = "http://10.0.0.22:6333"
+qdrant_collection = "memories"
+embedding_model = "snowflake-arctic-embed2"
+
+[layers]
+semantic_token_budget = 25000
+context_token_budget = 22000
+semantic_search_turns = 2
+semantic_score_threshold = 0.6
+
+[curator]
+run_time = "02:00"  # Daily curation time
+curator_model = "gpt-oss:120b"
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `APP_UID` | `999` | Container user ID |
+| `APP_GID` | `999` | Container group ID |
+| `TZ` | `UTC` | Timezone |
+| `VERA_DEBUG` | `false` | Enable debug logging |
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+# Build and start
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Check status
+docker ps
+docker logs VeraAI --tail 20
+
+# Health check
+curl http://localhost:11434/
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/` | GET | Health check |
+| `/api/chat` | POST | Chat completion (with memory) |
+| `/api/tags` | GET | List models |
+| `/api/generate` | POST | Generate completion |
+| `/curator/run` | POST | Trigger curation manually |
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+This project is synced with **deb9** (10.0.0.48). To sync changes:
+
+```bash
+# Pull from deb9
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -r -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no n8n@10.0.0.48:/home/n8n/vera-ai/* /home/n8n/vera-ai/
+
+# Push to deb9 (after local changes)
+sshpass -p 'passw0rd' scp -r -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no /home/n8n/vera-ai/* n8n@10.0.0.48:/home/n8n/vera-ai/
+```
+
+## Memory System
+
+- **raw** memories — Unprocessed conversation turns (until curation)
+- **curated** memories — Cleaned Q&A pairs (permanent)
+- **test** memories — Test entries (can be ignored)
+
+Curation runs daily at 02:00 and monthly on the 1st at 03:00.
+
