+# Fieldtest transcript — cycle 319 (sugar retirement, one `exec` verb)
+
+Binary under test: `target/release/aura`, built from this worktree
+(`cargo build --release --workspace`, HEAD = `1476990`, tree dirty only by
+this corpus). Every command below was run from inside the scaffolded project
+`c319lab/` unless the prompt says otherwise. Public-interface sources used:
+`README.md`, `docs/authoring-guide.md`, `docs/project-layout.md`,
+`docs/design/INDEX.md` + `contracts/c14-headless-two-faces.md`, `aura --help`,
+the scaffolded `c319lab/CLAUDE.md`. No implementation source was read.
+
+## Persona
+
+A downstream consumer who last used aura when the research verbs were
+`run / sweep / walkforward / mc / generalize`, returning to a fresh project.
+
+## Files
+
+| file | what it is |
+|---|---|
+| `c319lab/` | project scaffolded with `aura new c319lab` (its `runs/` store is git-ignored by the scaffold's own `.gitignore`) |
+| `c319_1_spread_tap.ops.json` | op-script: SMA crossover with a declared `spread` tap (canonical authoring form) |
+| `c319_1b_open.ops.json` | same, both SMA lengths left open (free knobs) |
+| `c319_2b_zero_bind.ops.json` | same, `fast.length` bound to `0` — the out-of-domain value authored, not overridden |
+| `c319_2_targets_*.json` | malformed / wrong-class `exec` targets |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_3_process_sweep.json` | process document: `std::sweep` argmax on `sqn` |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_3_campaign_sweep.json` | campaign document: GER40, 1 month, 3 axes / 4 points |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_4_campaign_override.json` | same with only 2 axes, so `bias.scale` stays a bound default (override target) |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_4b_campaign_zerolen.json` | `fast.length` axis = `[0]` (out-of-domain via the campaign leg) |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_5_process_wf.json` | process: `std::sweep` → `std::walk_forward` |
+| `c319lab/blueprints/c319_5_campaign_wf_flat.json` | campaign with `fast.length == slow.length` → flat spread → zero trades |
+| `c319_*.txt` / `c319_*.err` | verbatim captured runs |
+
+## 1 — Coming back to a retired verb (axis 3)
+
+```
+$ aura new c319lab
+created project "c319lab" (data-only; attach native nodes later with `aura nodes new`)
+
+$ aura run blueprints/signal.json
+error: unrecognized subcommand 'run'
+
+  tip: a similar subcommand exists: 'runs'
+EXIT=2
+```
+
+(full set in `c319_3_retired_verbs.err`: `sweep`, `walkforward`, `mc`,
+`generalize` all give the bare clap "unrecognized subcommand", no tip; `run`
+gets the `runs` tip.)
+
+Recovery took one `aura --help`: its about-text names `exec` as the one
+executor over both document classes and points at `graph introspect --params`
+for axes. The scaffolded `c319lab/CLAUDE.md` teaches the same three lines.
+Neither the retired-verb refusal nor anything else names `exec` at the point
+of failure.
+
+## 2 — Blueprint leg: smoke run, taps, overrides (axes 1, 2, 4)
+
+`c319_1_tap_loop.txt` — build from an op-script, list the fold roster, run
+with `--tap spread=record`, run again under a different `--override`.
+`c319_2_override_family.txt` — the whole override refusal family on both legs.
+
+Highlights (verbatim):
+
+```
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=8
+  → manifest.params=[['fast.length', {'I64': 8}]], defaults keep the rest   EXIT=0
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=8 --override fast.length=9
+aura: exec: --override names path "fast.length" twice                        EXIT=2
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override nosuch.param=3
+aura: axis nosuch.param: names no param of this blueprint (open or bound) — see `aura graph introspect --params <bp>`   EXIT=1
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length
+aura: exec: --override expects NODE.PARAM=VALUE, got `fast.length`           EXIT=2
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=abc
+aura: exec: --override expects NODE.PARAM=VALUE, got `fast.length=abc`       EXIT=2
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=1.5
+aura: this blueprint does not compile to a runnable harness: ParamKindMismatch { slot: 0, expected: I64, got: F64 }   EXIT=1
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=0
+thread 'main' panicked at crates/aura-std/src/sma.rs:46:9: SMA length must be >= 1   EXIT=101
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override fast.length=-3
+thread 'main' panicked at .../alloc/src/raw_vec/mod.rs:28:5: capacity overflow       EXIT=101
+$ aura exec blueprints/signal.json --override c319lab_signal.fast.length=1
+thread 'main' panicked at crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs:1160:38: override set derived from these exact overrides   EXIT=101
+```
+
+The same out-of-domain value authored into the blueprint (`c319_2b_zero_bind.ops.json`,
+`bind {"length":{"I64":0}}`, no `--override` at all) panics identically — so
+the containment gap is the single-run leg's, not `--override`'s parser.
+
+Open blueprint, and whether `--override` can close one:
+
+```
+$ aura exec blueprints/c319_1b_open.bp.json
+aura: run requires a closed blueprint (no free parameters); 2 free knob(s) — bind them in the
+blueprint or vary them as campaign axes; a single bound knob can be overridden with --override
+EXIT=2
+$ aura exec blueprints/c319_1b_open.bp.json --override fast.length=3 --override slow.length=8
+(same message)   EXIT=2
+```
+
+Tap loop: `--tap spread=record` persisted `runs/traces/c319_spread/spread.json`
+(11 warm rows) + `index.json` carrying the run manifest; `aura chart c319_spread`
+emitted HTML. `--tap spread=median` → `aura: unknown fold 'median' — available:
+count, first, last, max, mean, min, record, sum` (exit 1); `--tap spread` →
+`aura: --tap expects TAP=FOLD, got "spread"` (exit 2); a tap name the blueprint
+does not declare → `aura: the tap plan names 'spread', but the blueprint declares
+no such tap — declared taps: ` (exit 1, trailing empty list).
+
+A second `exec` of the same blueprint under a different `--override` wrote into
+the same `runs/traces/c319_spread/` and replaced the first run's series; no
+note, no second directory.
+
+## 3 — Campaign leg: axis discovery → running sweep family (axes 2, 3)
+
+`c319_3_sweep_family.txt`. Register blueprint + process, author the campaign
+document from `docs/authoring-guide.md` §3, validate (three tiers all green),
+`aura exec`: 4 members over GER40 2024-09-01…2024-10-01 (1661–2581 trades each)
+plus a `selection_report`, `aura: campaign run N recorded: 1 cells`, exit 0.
+
+Campaign-leg overrides (`c319_2_override_family.txt`, second half): a bound
+param not on an axis is accepted (exit 0); a declared axis collides
+(`aura: exec: --override \`fast.length\` collides with a declared axis of the
+campaign; an override overrides a bound value, never an axis`, exit 2); an
+unknown path and a kind mismatch speak the campaign's referential prose (exit 1);
+a duplicate path and a non-scalar value speak the shared lexer (exit 2). The
+retired wrapped form is refused here with the documented translation pointer:
+
+```
+$ aura exec blueprints/c319_4_campaign_override.json --override c319lab_signal.bias.scale=0.25
+aura: campaign references do not resolve:
+  strategy 7987bec1…: axis "c319lab_signal.bias.scale" is not in the param space;
+  axis names are raw node.param paths — did you mean "bias.scale"?   EXIT=1
+```
+
+— the same token that panics on the blueprint leg (see §2).
+
+## 4 — Target classification (axis 1)
+
+`c319_2_target_classes.err`, exit codes verified individually:
+
+| target | stderr | exit |
+|---|---|---|
+| file, not JSON | `aura: exec: <path>: target file is not valid JSON: key must be a string at line 1 column 3` | 2 |
+| op-script array (valid JSON) | `aura: <path>: blueprint document is not valid JSON: invalid type: map, expected u32 at line 2 column 2` | 2 |
+| `{}` | `aura: <path>: blueprint document is not valid JSON: missing field \`format_version\`` | 2 |
+| `"kind":"campain"` typo | `aura: campaign document: the "kind" key must be "campaign"` | 1 |
+| a **process** document | `aura: campaign document: the "kind" key must be "campaign"` | 1 |
+| missing file / directory / bare name | `aura: '<t>' is neither a readable .json file nor a 64-hex content id` | 1 |
+| id prefix `3ca5ca90` | same as above | 1 |
+| campaign *name* | same as above | 1 |
+| unregistered 64-hex | `aura: no campaign <id> in the project store` | 1 |
+| a registered **blueprint's** id | `aura: no campaign <id> in the project store` | 1 |
+| registered campaign id | runs | 0 |
+
+## 5 — Walk-forward zero-trade note on the campaign path (axis 4)
+
+`c319_4_walkforward_zero_trade.err`. `fast.length == slow.length == 4` makes the
+spread identically zero, so the bias never leaves 0:
+
+```
+$ aura exec blueprints/c319_5_campaign_wf_flat.json
+aura: note: all 2 walk-forward windows recorded zero trades
+aura: campaign run N recorded: 1 cells
+EXIT=0
+```
+
+Class marker, exit code and "a null result is a valid research result" all as
+C14 describes.
+
+## 6 — Per-cell fault containment, for contrast
+
+`c319_4b_campaign_zerolen.json` puts the same out-of-domain `0` on a campaign
+axis:
+
+```
+aura: warning: cell (7987bec1…, GER40, [1725148800000, 1727740800000]) failed at stage 0:
+a member panicked: SMA length must be >= 1 — recorded, campaign continues
+aura: campaign run N recorded: 1 cells, 1 failed (GER40: panic)
+EXIT=3

+# c319lab — an aura research project (data-only)
+
+This directory is an aura project: blueprints + research documents over the
+std vocabulary, anchored by `Aura.toml`. There is no crate and no build step.
+
+- Run: `aura exec blueprints/signal.json` (single smoke run, synthetic stream
+  — the starter is closed; all params bound; bound values are defaults —
+  `--override NODE.PARAM=VALUE` may override one for this run (#246))
+- Campaign: `aura exec <campaign.json>` executes a registered campaign
+  document (file or content id) — the multi-cell/axis surface
+- Axes: `aura graph introspect --params blueprints/signal.json` lists the
+  open + bound-overridable axes, RAW `<node>.<param>` names (#328)
+- Native nodes: when the project needs its first project-specific node,
+  `aura nodes new <name>` scaffolds a node crate beside this project and
+  attaches it via `[nodes]` in `Aura.toml` (build it with `cargo build`).
+- Topology is data (`blueprints/*.json`); results land in `runs/`.
+- Execution model: a strategy emits a bias in [-1,+1] per cycle, held as the
+  continuously-tracked target position; a protective stop defines the risk
+  unit R, and quality metrics are R-based. Entry signals become held state
+  via the signal-side latch/edge-pulse idiom (see
+  `aura graph introspect --vocabulary`).
+- Data plane: process/campaign documents are authored directly with
+  `aura process` / `aura campaign`, growing one from a bare `{}` via
+  `aura campaign introspect --unwired`.
