/distill

Force a distillation pass now. The daemon's background distill cycles run on its own clock; /distill is the explicit user-triggered pass.

Mental model

Distillation is four operations bundled into one flow:

• emerge — cluster new memories into new pages
• absorb — assign orphan memories to existing pages, propose new pages from topics that 2+ existing pages link to but no page is named for
• refresh — regenerate stale pages from their source memories (only when the user has not edited the page; pages you have touched stay locked)
• merge — combine duplicate pages flagged by the daemon's global review

The default flow runs all four. The rebuild verb is a destructive opt-in that overrides the lock on a single page.
