Change and scope

The Discord operator edge hardcodes the bot name "Nadir" and the model name "Qwen" in its fixed operational notices (refusals, timeouts, permission errors). Running the profile with a differently named bot, or a different model behind the conversation binding, shows users the wrong names.

• Adds agent_display_name to the Discord policy, defaulting to Nadir, so existing policies behave the same. It is presentation only: it is excluded from the compiled Reach policy and its digest and grants no identity or authority. Single-line printable text, at most 80 characters.
• Renders every fixed notice through it, and refers to "the model" instead of naming one.
• Admits an allowlisted DM whose DMChannel has no recipient. Without a member cache discord.py builds the DM channel from the message alone and leaves recipient unset, so every DM from an allowlisted user was silently dropped. A non-bot author of a one-to-one DMChannel is the recipient by construction; a conflicting recipient is still refused, and the reply path still verifies the channel's recipients before sending.
• reach_operator.py on Podman hosts:
  • Podman prints {{.Id}} as bare hex while Docker prints sha256:…, so build refused every Podman build with operator_image_identity. Both forms are now accepted.
  • Podman copies the image's own /tmp into a --tmpfs mount by default. The Core check image keeps its uv cache in /tmp (~690 MB), which overflows the bounded 256 MB tmpfs, so the worker failed to start. The mount now uses notmpcopyup under Podman; Docker is unchanged.
  • The edge build context is copied under the caller's umask and COPY keeps those modes, while the edge runs as the operator's UID rather than the image's owner. Under a private umask (077) the edge's source was unreadable and the import check failed (No module named 'lychd.interface'). The copied context now gets fixed 0644/0755 modes.

Not changed here: the conversation profile's model binding. #150 makes that configurable; the two are independent and merge cleanly in either order.

Verification

• New tests: display-name default, validation and digest invariance (test_discord_policy.py); every notice renders the configured name and names no model (test_discord_live.py); uncached DM admission (test_nadir_dialogue.py); Podman tmpfs option, bare/prefixed image IDs and umask-independent build context (test_reach_operator.py).
• pytest tests/unit/interface tests/unit/cli tests/unit/compositions against this branch and against unmodified dev, both with --basetemp outside any Git checkout: identical failure set (15 failed in both, all in test_reach_portability.py and test_reach_research_image.py, which need the research container setup), 12 more passing here. ruff check and ruff format --check clean on changed files.
• Not run in the OCI test image. Live: the patched edge has been running against a real Discord server on a rootless Podman 6.1.4 host (openSUSE Tumbleweed) with a custom display name and an allowlisted DM user; images built and the headless reach_probe.py turn passed only after the three harness fixes.

Documentation and delivery claims

• docs/compositions/reach/operator.md: documents agent_display_name.
• examples/reach/policy.toml: shows the setting with its default.

Author review

• I reviewed the full diff, including any AI-assisted changes, and can explain the submitted code and its verification.
• I identified any reused upstream material and checked its provenance, changes, license obligations and shipped notices under the reuse procedure, or confirmed that this change incorporates none.

Keeping Nadir as the temporary default for Discord notices works for this PR. Follow-up in #153: once Reach is explicitly bound to a specific Altar operator, default those notices to that operator’s saved Primus name from Naming Ceremony. Use Primus until they save a name, and keep agent_display_name available for deployments that need a Discord-specific name.

[zenithruneblade]

Recording the maintainer’s approval to integrate this revision. The Primus naming follow-up is tracked in #153.

Returning this PR to draft so the author can mark it ready when they want it reviewed for merge. The follow-up remains in the conversation.

[NavSrijan]

Updated this branch with the latest dev branch, and it should be good for the merge now.
I'll take up the default Primus name in #153 .
