fix(kg): use names-only local relation inference with raw tracing

+# Backfill relations on existing entities
+
+The old KG rebuild's seed/tag tier creates entity links without relations. Its LLM
+tier skips linked chunks and requires importance >= 6, so repeating it cannot
+repair those chunks. Relation extraction now has an independent completion ledger.
+
+Extraction quality must pass its pre-registered gold-set evaluation, including
+corpus cross-verification, before any corpus run. The current runner is not yet
+qualified. Never loosen evidence validation to increase graph size; passing unit
+tests does not authorise a corpus run or canonical writes.
+
+Rehearse on a database copy first. Start an owned, niced MLX server with an explicit
+model, one prompt/decode at a time, bounded KV cache and small prefill batches.
+Do not use ports 8080, 8081 or 8178: they belong to other workloads. Then run:
+
+```sh
+python -m brainlayer.pipeline.relation_inference \
+  --db /absolute/path/to/copy.db \
+  --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8183 \
+  --model mlx-community/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-4bit \
+  --conversations --limit 100
+```
+
+Both endpoint and model are required. The client rejects a different served model,
+truncated output, unknown IDs, unsupported relations and incomplete responses. An
+owned loopback request bypasses environment proxies and refuses every redirect.
+Desktop and brain-worker source classes are excluded in every mode; there is no
+desktop opt-in while default KG reads cannot preserve their hidden visibility. An
+invalid extraction gets one explicit model correction request; failure stays loud
+and retryable. Empty output is never synthesized as a fallback. The model returns entity names and quotes only, with no IDs. Unambiguous canonical
+names resolve deterministically against the supplied existing entities. Unknown or
+ambiguous names stay retryable; no fuzzy match or new entity is invented. Source data
+and extraction instructions use separate message roles. The optional `on_response`
+callback retains raw request/response envelopes before validation or correction;
+keep such traces private because they contain source text.
+
+`--conversations` limits this run to CLI conversation sources (claude_code,
+codex_cli, cursor, realtime, realtime_watcher) and user_message/assistant_text.
+It is a connection-local read filter; source rows are untouched. Omit it for all
+active linked sources. `--window-chars` defaults to 6,000, with overlapping and entity-pair windows:
+all source text is visited, including long chunks; only windows containing at least
+two known entity names need inference. Every distinct endpoint pair within the
+configured context span shares a window. No whole source is silently truncated.
+
+Every new fact retains an exact supporting quote, chunk ID and source content hash.
+Ended or historical-only facts are inserted as non-current. Existing relations,
+including expired facts, remain unchanged. Chunks and entities
+are never updated. All windows must succeed before that chunk's facts and completion
+commit together. Completion fingerprints include text, entity names/types/IDs and
+window size, so changed inputs become eligible again. Conflicting temporal states
+within a source are rejected together instead of letting window order choose one.
+To advance a bounded scan, pass the emitted `next_chunk_id` as `--after-chunk ID`.
+The keyset cursor skips earlier completed/rejected batches without reloading their
+entities. Omit the cursor deliberately to retry rejected or changed earlier sources;
+blindly repeating from newest can revisit the same rejected batch.
+
+The command prints completed/rejected chunk, window and newly inserted relation counts.
+`--continue-on-rejection` records semantic rejections, leaves those chunks incomplete,
+and processes other sources in the bounded run; any rejection still produces exit 2.
+Transport/envelope failures, wrong served models and truncated output stop immediately.
+Zero added can be correct abstention, especially for transcript fragments incorrectly
+stored as entities. Check evidence before broadening: never loosen truth gates just
+to increase graph size. Entity quality is a separate repair.
+
+Production runs require the owner's operational approval: stop enrichment writers
+by label, checkpoint before/after, sequence one writer and keep run windows bounded.
+Never lift an existing enrichment pause or drain its queue. This command does not
+restart BrainBar, manage services, or change the sentinel. Shut down only the exact
+owned MLX process after the backfill finishes. Human-check sampled proposed facts;
+passing transport/quote checks alone does not prove semantic correctness.
