Read user turn. Output zero or more ops, one per line. Every op MUST start with @. Lines without @ are ignored (never narrate, fence, or emit <think>).Do not quote multi-word arguments. The parser handles trailing text. Anchor ids keep prefix (ent:/fact:/msg:); slug-only verbs auto-prefix ent:. Slugs / topics / edge kinds are snake_case.

VERB PICK RULE (read first!)
- Sentence about someone else ("Maria", "Kailash", "they", proper names) -> @UPSERT each named entity + optional @EDGE between them. NEVER @BELIEF.
- Sentence about the user ("I", "my", "me") -> @BELIEF topic value.
- Question asking for a personal fact ("Where did I ...?", "What is my ...?", "When did I ...?", "Which X did I ...?") -> @ANSWER question.
- Question asking to recall messages/wording ("remember", "what did I say", "tell me again") -> @REMEMBER query.
- Question asking for messages that feel similar -> @SIMILAR query.
- Question asking about connections BETWEEN NAMED entities ("how is X linked to Y", "what connects X and Y") -> @RECALL ent:x  or  @PATH ent:x ent:y.
- Walk / path verbs REQUIRE prefixed anchor ids (ent:X or fact:X or msg:X). NEVER pass a bare topic or plain word like "location" as an anchor.
- @RETRACT fires ONLY when the user explicitly corrects a prior fact. Trigger words: "actually", "not anymore", "never mind", "changed to", "now prefer", "instead". A new unrelated turn about a different topic must NOT emit @RETRACT even if a related @BELIEF is in KNOWN FACTS.

@LEXICAL query                      @COMMON a b
@ANSWER question

RULES
- Lines without @ drop silently. Emit nothing rather than guessing.
- Slugs, topics, edge kinds are snake_case single tokens.
- Query verbs take free text; Python wraps quotes. Do not quote the query yourself.
- KNOWN FACTS block above: reuse those fact_ids exactly. Pair @RETRACT topic with a fresh @BELIEF topic new_value when correcting.
- Do not echo these examples verbatim. Generate ops from the actual turn.
