feat(docs, refactor): add NPC Chat API integration guide and update data ingestion

Add comprehensive integration guide for NPC Chat API, including FastAPI endpoints for initializing NPCs and handling chat interactions with response models and self-consumption logic.

Refactor the ingestion module to remove deprecated 'npc-dialogue' dataset support, and enhance 'fictional-characters' and 'tinystories' transformers by adding configurable file paths for better flexibility in data ingestion pipeline. This improves modularity and prepares for API-driven NPC data handling.

+## Self-Consumption Prevents Degradation
+
+````
+WITHOUT Self-Consumption (Traditional RAG):
+─────────────────────────────────────────────
+Turn 1: Good response (retrieves from pack)
+Turn 2: Same good response (retrieves same pack data)
+Turn 3: REPETITIVE - player bored, feels bot-like
+
+WITH Self-Consumption (Warbler-CDA):
+─────────────────────────────────────────────
+Turn 1: Generic response (bio only)
+Turn 2: Slightly better (remembers turn 1 exchange)
+Turn 3: DIFFERENT (new macro theme emerges)
+Turn 4-6: PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT
+Turn 7+: NPC PERSONALITY EMERGES
+
+Why? Each turn adds dialogue to knowledge base:
+├─ Raw anchors (heat-weighted by recency)
+├─ Compressed micro-summaries (patterns)
+├─ Consolidated macro distillations (themes)
+└─ Next retrieval finds richer context
+
+Heat Decay Mechanism (via MeltLayer):
+├─ Fresh dialogues (heat = 0.9) dominate retrieval
+├─ Older conversations (heat → 0.5) become background
+├─ System naturally forgets boring exchanges
+└─ Fresh patterns always prioritized (recency bias)
+````

+    
+    # NPC personality
+    "emotion_extraction_enabled": True,  # Parse emotion from responses
+    "intent_classification_enabled": True, # Track dialogue intent
+}
+````
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring Self-Consumption Health
+
+````python
+# Check these metrics periodically
+metrics = npc_chat_service.get_self_consumption_metrics()
+
+print(f"Conversations processed: {metrics['conversations_processed']}")
+print(f"Anchors created: {metrics['anchors_created']}")
+print(f"Micro-summaries: {metrics['micro_summaries_distilled']}")
+print(f"Macro distillations: {metrics['macro_distillations_created']}")
+
+# Healthy growth should look like:
+# ├─ anchors_created ≈ conversations_processed (1 anchor/turn)
+# ├─ micro_summaries ≈ conversations_processed / 5 (compress every 5)
+# └─ macro_distillations ≈ micro_summaries / 3 (compress every 3)
+
+# If anchors plateau but conversations continue:
+#   → Self-consumption may be disabled or hitting limits
+# If distillations grow too fast:
+#   → Adjust distillation_trigger threshold
+````
+
+---
+
+## Patent-Ready Claims
+
+This self-consumption architecture enables several unique claims:
+
+1. **Recursive Dialogue Learning**: NPC responses improve without explicit retraining through dialogue distillation
+2. **Hierarchical Memory Compression**: Two-tier pyramid (micro + macro) enables scaling to unlimited conversation history
+3. **Molten Glyph Retirement**: Append-only conversation archive with heat-based recency bias (prevents static memory)
+4. **8D Context Filtering**: FractalStat alignment dimension filters retrieved context for thematic coherence
+5. **Emergent Personality**: NPC personality emerges from dialogue patterns rather than being hardcoded

+# VS Code Python Environment Troubleshooting
+
+## Issue
+VS Code Python extension cannot resolve/activate the project environment, showing errors like:
+- "Failed to resolve env '\\python'"
+- Environment initialization failures
+
+## Root Cause
+VS Code's Python extension has cached stale configuration or conflicting settings from previous environment attempts.
+
+## Solutions Applied
+
+### 1. Virtual Environment Recreatd ✅
+- Created fresh virtual environment: `python -m venv venv`
+- Installed dependencies: `pip install -e .[dev]`
+- Environment verified working with tests
+
+### 2. VS Code Configuration Cleaned ✅
+- Updated `python.defaultInterpreterPath` to absolute path
+- Cleared conflicting environment manager settings
+- Simplified configuration to use the virtual environment directly
+
+### 3. VS Code Cache Cleared ✅
+- Removed workspace storage cache for warbler projects
+- Extensions reinstalled fresh
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED - Complete VS Code Reset
+
+1. **Exit VS Code Completely**
+   - Close all VS Code windows
+   - Ensure no VS Code processes running (check Task Manager)
+
+2. **Clear Extension Host Logs** (Optional but recommended)
+   ```
+   Delete: %APPDATA%\Code\logs
+   ```
+
+3. **Clear Extension Storage** (Optional but recommended)
+   ```
+   Delete: %APPDATA%\Code\User\workspaceStorage\<warbler-folders>
+   ```
+
+4. **Restart VS Code**
+   - Open VS Code again
+   - Open the warbler-cda folder
+   - Wait for Python extension to initialize
+
+## Expected Behavior After Reset
+
+- Python interpreter in status bar should show: `venv\Scripts\python.exe`
+- No environment resolution errors
+- IntelliSense and syntax highlighting should work
+- Tests should run from VS Code test explorer
+
+## If Still Not Working
+
+Try manually selecting interpreter:
+1. Click Python version in status bar
+2. Select "Enter interpreter path..."
+3. Navigate to: `C:\Users\jerio\RiderProjects\warbler-cda\venv\Scripts\python.exe`
+
+## Verification Command
+```
+venv\Scripts\python.exe --version
+```
+Should return: `Python 3.12.10`
+
+## Test Command
+```
+venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest tests/test_data_ingestion.py -v
+```
+Should run tests successfully.

+node-python
+===========
+
+A super-simple wrapper for NodeJS to interact programatically with the Python shell. Enables the use of Python-based tools from Node.
+
+[![NPM Stats](https://nodei.co/npm/python.png?downloads=true&stars=true)](https://npmjs.org/package/python)
+
+![NPM Downloads](https://nodei.co/npm-dl/python.png?months=9)
+
+Example
+-------
+This example starts a python child process, reads stdin for python commands, pipes them through to the python shell and runs the callback method with the resulting output. State is preserved in the shell between calls.
+
+```javascript
+// ------
+// app.js
+// ------
+var python=require('python').shell;
+
+// a callback to handle the response
+var mycallback = function(err, data) {
+   if (err) {
+     console.error(err);
+   } else {
+     console.log("Callback function got : " + data);
+   }
+};
+
+// to test, read and execute commands from stdin
+process.stdin.resume();
+process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8');
+process.stdin.on('data', function(chunk) {
+   python(chunk, mycallback);
+});
