+### Changes

 - Memory/dreaming: add a grounded REM backfill lane with historical `rem-harness --path`, diary commit/reset flows, cleaner durable-fact extraction, and live short-term promotion integration so old daily notes can replay into Dreams and durable memory without a second memory stack. Thanks @mbelinky.
 - Control UI/dreaming: add a structured diary view with timeline navigation, backfill/reset controls, traceable dreaming summaries, and a grounded Scene lane with promotion hints plus a safe clear-grounded action for staged backfill signals. (#63395) Thanks @mbelinky.
 - QA/lab: add character-vibes evaluation reports with model selection and parallel runs so live QA can compare candidate behavior faster.
