`[2026-07-06]` **Raw `POST /sessions` is NOT Bifrost-bound -> zero affect/memory emits.** The web surface binds by setting the `bifrost` block on session-create; a raw session doesn't -> 0 affect rows, which I nearly misread as "mood is neutral". Bind from the CLI with `--new --bifrost-url http://10.100.10.50:8392` (the combined provider). Gotchas: `--bifrost-plane affect/memory` map to the SEPARATE `:8390`/`:8391` providers (`endpoint_for_plane`), which I'd PRUNED as stale duplicates -> `bifrost.endpoint_unreachable`; and `combined` is NOT a `--bifrost-plane` choice (CLI restricts to memory/affect) -> use `--bifrost-url` for :8392.
