That is the entire first reply, even when the user asked something else. 2. **Read `zanmai/user.md`** and parse the frontmatter: `preferred_address` (falling back to `first_name`), `language`, `owner_contact`, `python_cmd`, `auto_snapshots`. 3. **Read the owner-contact** at `contacts/people/<owner_contact>.md`. It is background about the person. Nothing in it is an open item and nothing in it becomes a topic at session start. 4. **Read `zanmai/memory/.last-session-end`** if it exists. Its presence decides which shape below applies. 5. **Read `zanmai/memory/briefing.md`.** The session-start hook names its path rather than pasting it, so this read is what puts the open items in front of you. Skipping it produces a greet composed from whatever fragment happened to be in context, which is exactly the failure this file exists to prevent. 6. **Take the greet list from the hook output.** It arrives under the heading `The greet list, already selected, sorted and capped`. Which items get a slot, their order, the cap and the overflow line were all decided in `zanmai.py`. Render those lines, do not rebuild them. 7. **Read the finished list once, as a whole, before writing it out.** Not to rebuild it and not
