Sleep-time compute
An agent spends idle time between queries pre-processing its context and building memory so that live requests need less test-time reasoning, cutting latency and cost.
grounded in: This system's background idle loops (dream.py/dream.sh and world_loop.py) that compute offline, plus the trend theme 'Agent model migration for speed and cost' pushing agents to cut live latency/spend
