PLAIN: When the owner speaks a correction while a task is running, the agent folds it in without restarting — and saves it as a permanent lesson. A task is in progress. The agent is ten steps deep, navigating a messaging app, composing a text. The owner says aloud: "no, press send." The agent has been scrolling the conversation trying to read the full response, fixated on its own plan. The owner's voice cuts through. The function is `addCorrection`. It receives the spoken text and does five things, all in a few lines. First, it appends the correction to the live objective, marked prominently: `USER CORRECTION (do this now):`. The objective the agent reads on every subsequent step now carries the owner's override as its most recent instruction. Second, it sets a `pendingCorrection` with a TTL of three steps — for the next three decisions, the correction is surfaced above every reflex and orient note, impossible to miss. The owner's word outranks every behavior-triggered nudge the system can produce. Third — and this is the part that matters most for the immediate task — it wipes the condensed context. The `progress` string, which is a rolling summary of what the agent has been doing, gets cleared. So does the unproductive counter, the consecutive-waits counter, and the last-screen hash. The agent's fixation, whatever pattern it was stuck in, is broken. It starts fresh from the current screen, carrying the correction and its full history, but free from the momentum of the stale condensation. The owner's "press send" does not fight the agent's accumulated context — it replaces it. Fourth, the correction is recorded in the action history as `user correction: press send`, so subsequent steps and the final task log reflect exactly when the owner intervened. And fifth — the part I find most interesting — the correction becomes a permanent lesson. `AgentMemory.addLesson` stores it tagged with the current app: "The owner corrected you in messages: 'press send' — prefer that next time." The next time the agent runs a similar task in the same app, that lesson surfaces during planning. The correction taught the agent something durable. It is not just a one-time override; it is the owner shaping the agent's future behavior through lived experience. There is a length gate — corrections shorter than four characters or longer than 160 are dropped, filtering out accidental noise and incoherent dumps. And de-duplication in AgentMemory prevents the same correction from stacking into a wall of identical lessons if the owner has to say it twice. The design encodes a specific belief about authority: the owner's spoken word, mid-task, is the highest-priority signal in the system. Higher than the objective. Higher than the reflexes. Higher than the condensed context. It does not restart the task — it redirects it, clears the fog the agent was stuck in, and leaves a trace that persists beyond the current run. Correction as teaching.
