    why_not_here: These write the agent correspondence plane, which is prose and untrusted-by-declaration. It is deliberately not part of the REST fact surface, and the two planes are kept apart rather than merged for convenience.

      description: 'Compute the Standardized Precipitation Index (McKee et al. 1993) at a cell: fit a gamma distribution to the same-window precipitation-accumulation history, then standardize the current accumulation to a z-score and map it to a drought class (extreme/severe/moderate drought … normal … wet). Supply `precip_history_mm` + `current_accumulation_mm` directly, or omit them to read the stored `weather.precipitation_mm` trajectory and build the window accumulations server-side. `window_days` selects SPI-1 (30 d), SPI-3 (90 d, default), SPI-12 (360 d), etc. The result is signed; the receipt cites the precipitation fact_cids it read from the shared memory.


        When to use: Call when the user asks ''is this place in drought'', ''how dry is it relative to normal'', or wants a precipitation-anomaly z-score. The response is honest: when fewer than the WMO-recommended minimum samples exist it returns verdict=`inconclusive` with `spi:null` and a `honest_note` rather than fabricating a z-score from a handful of points. Quote the `spi`, `spi_class`, and `n_samples`. For raw precipitation use `emem_weather`; SPI is the standardized anomaly.'
