Brummel 428f83c542 audit: cycle 0107 tidy (drift resolved by ledger/glossary lift)
Architect verdict: drift_found — the code holds its contracts (C1
determinism incl. lowest-index fault attribution and doc-seeded
deflation; C16 seam: aura-campaign excludes ingest/std/composites,
MemberRunner isolates the condemned CLI scaffolding; the walk_forward
lockstep set moved together), the docs lagged the tree. All six drift
items resolved in this commit:

- C18: 'no executor exists' retired (0106 text now points forward);
  new cycle-0107 realization records the executor, the aura-campaign
  home, ListSpace, the campaign_runs.jsonl sibling store, zero-survivor
  exit-0 semantics, emit/persist_taps split, the #196 on-ramp, and the
  machinery-true std::walk_forward correction.
- C16: aura-campaign added to the non-node crate enumeration
  (cycle-0107 realization; explicitly not C21's World).
- Glossary: campaign document entry corrected (run verb, execution
  prose); new 'campaign run' entry; blueprint entry gains the on-ramp
  verbs.

Carry-on debt (self-noted in code, tracked): metric-roster
triplication #190, deflation-constant duplication #199; cross-cell
fault orphans + nested-parallelism oversubscription noted in the
tasks-6-7 commit body. Follow-ups filed on the milestone: #200
(mc/generalize stage execution), #201 (persist_taps wiring).

Regression: cargo test --workspace 987/0; clippy -D warnings clean;
cargo doc 0 warnings. Spec + plan removed at close per convention
(durable rationale lives in the ledger; the canonical record is the
git history).

Brummel e73aadae1e docs(ledger): #188 amendment package — C25 role model, C20/C22 refinements, invariant-10 clarification
C25 (new): the nine authoring roles cut by artifact + surface + iteration
cost, the recognizability test, the 6a/6b split on invariant 12's tier
boundary with the id machinery as interface, the text-first/headless-first
invariant (visual surfaces = stateless projections, viewers over editors),
and the Blockly litmus test as every vocabulary's acceptance criterion.

C20: the 'plain Rust loops, not a config schema' clause and the mini-DSL
forbid are scoped — they forbid an open logic-bearing language, not the
closed-vocabulary campaign document that now carries experiment intent
under the P1 construct tier; generators may stay Rust, what they yield is
data.

C22: stateless-projection refinement generalized to all artifact classes;
the shipped face recorded as the web-from-disk front. Glossary playground
entry aligned (the egui-native wording was stale against the 2026-06
revision).

CLAUDE.md invariant 10: clarified that closed-vocabulary data artifacts
(op-scripts, blueprints, process/campaign documents) are not the forbidden
DSL — RustAst failed as an open logic-bearing language; new logic
escalates to a Rust block, never a freetext hole.

All content ratified on #188 (body + addenda + resolution comments); this
commit is production of the durable record, no new design.

Brummel ebe85683c9 audit: cycle 0106 tidy — ledger/glossary lift, unwired-hint fix, spec/plan retired
Architect drift review (holds: C14 headless authoring, C16/C17 no-DSL with
aura-research a true leaf, content-id move behaviour-preserving per the
untouched id goldens). Resolution per item:

- fix (docs): C18 gains the cycle-0106 realization note (processes/ +
  campaigns/ stores, document canonical form, the content-id primitive's
  library home, the referential tier, no-executor status); the #109
  analysis-meta-level open thread records the artifact half shipped v1 and
  what stays open (executor question, verb dissolution 'once it carries',
  the remaining #188 amendment package). Glossary: new campaign document +
  process document entries; content id generalized to all three artifact
  classes; experiment marked superseded by the campaign document (#188
  re-cut of the builder-API thread).
- fix (code): the --unwired guide advertised an identity_id process ref
  that validate_campaign refuses — the process.ref open-slot hint now says
  content-id-only (strategy refs keep both); lib + seam pins updated.
- filed forward: #190 (metric-vocabulary single-sourcing, the 0105 roster
  drift class), #191 (identity-ref store scan is O(store), performance
  only).
- carry-on: regression gates green by hand — cargo test --workspace 916/0,
  clippy -D warnings clean, cargo doc --no-deps 0 warnings; no baseline to
  ratify (project has no metric baseline scripts).

Cycle 0106 spec and plan retired per convention (git rm); durable record
is the ledger notes above plus #188/#189.

Brummel 81ac6fd654 docs(ledger): declare the canonical project shape — templates canon, fixture frozen twin
Resolves the #181 design pass (option c: ledger declaration, no lockstep
mechanism). The aura-new templates (scaffold.rs) are the canonical
authoring shape and evolve with the engine; the cycle-0102 demo-project
fixture is an intentionally frozen known-good twin for the load-boundary
tests. Deliberately NOT lockstep-guarded: no consumer requires the copies
to match (skeptic-verified — nothing treats the fixture as what aura new
emits), each is e2e-guarded on its fitness for purpose (build/load/
charter/deterministic run; blueprint wiring is pinned in neither, stated
honestly after an adversarial skeptic pass refuted the stronger claim),
and an equality guard would convert deliberate template improvements into
forced churn of the frozen fixture — the same cross-purpose coupling that
rules out regenerating the fixture from the scaffolder.

Brummel bd32c4fcb3 audit: cycle 0105 tidy (drift-clean after two doc-mirror alignments)
Architect drift review (range 7b429f9..57f401f): drift_found (low/medium
only), resolved inline as close-fixes:
- crates/aura-std/src/vocabulary.rs — the roster-site doc now names BOTH
  count pins a node addition trips (the in-crate shape test and aura-cli's
  cross-boundary --vocabulary count e2e); the singular phrasing understated
  the cross-crate lockstep the extra e2e introduced.
- docs/design/INDEX.md — the C24 enforcement-shift passage gains the 0105
  delivery note: resolver-vs-list drift closed by construction via the
  roster macro; the un-rostered-node residual stays fail-safe.

Noted, no action: spec/plan predicted 884 (no new test) but delivery added
one e2e (885) — consciously superseded, disclosed in the iter commit body;
the artifacts are ephemeral and removed below.

What holds (architect): byte-preserving refactor confirmed against the
diff (22 keys/order exact, signatures and module doc untouched, every
consumer unchanged); invariant 9 / C24 preserved (compile-time expansion,
no registry); the new e2e count pin is genuinely roster-tied.

Regression gates (all green): cargo build clean; cargo test --workspace
885 passed / 0 failed (884 baseline + 1 new e2e); clippy --all-targets
-D warnings clean; cargo doc --no-deps 0 warnings.

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed per project convention (git rm):

Brummel 7b429f931a audit: cycle 0104 tidy (drift-clean after three doc-mirror alignments)
Architect drift review (range d5c4361..45fb06d): drift_found, three items,
all doc-mirror — resolved inline as close-fixes:
- docs/design/INDEX.md — the two #171 deferral passages (C18 #158
  realization + C24 status) now record the shipped identity id (additive
  sibling; content id keeps the store/reproduce roles; introspection-only
  until a dedup consumer exists). Whole-harness / structural-axis
  content-addressing stays deferred.
- README.md — introspect table gains the --identity-id row incl. the
  combinable id-flag behaviour.
- docs/glossary.md — three record-reality entries: content id, identity id
  (Avoid: identity hash, topology-identity hash), topology hash; the
  README row aligned to the canonical term.

What holds (architect): additive-sibling discipline intact (no store code
touched, every content-id/topology_hash pin green); C23 honoured precisely
(each strip arm has a protecting property test; factoring byte-preserving
via the canonical golden); the two extra engine tests are genuinely
distinct coverage (recursion arm, role/output arms), no redundancy.

Regression gates (all green): cargo build clean; cargo test --workspace
884 passed / 0 failed (873 baseline + 11 new); clippy --all-targets
-D warnings clean; cargo doc --no-deps 0 warnings.

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed per project convention (git rm):

docs/plans/0104-topology-identity-hash.md.

Brummel d5c4361a97 audit: cycle 0103 tidy (drift-clean after three doc-mirror alignments)
Architect review of b672a37..HEAD. What holds: emitted templates match
the settled contracts (Aura.toml paths-only per C17, cdylib + empty
[workspace] per C16, ::-namespaced ids per the charter, the C14 exit
partition in dispatch_new); the load-bypass guard is narrow and sound
(only the new-project verb exempted, the load arm byte-unchanged for
every other verb); e2e coverage is real (scaffold -> build -> run twice
byte-identical, namespace stamped, introspection, four refusals, the
unbuilt-tree bypass, plus the additive namespace-override test).

Regression: cargo build --workspace rc=0; cargo test --workspace 873
passed / 0 failed (project_new 6/6); clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings rc=0; cargo doc --workspace --no-deps 0 warnings. No
baselines exist to move, so nothing to ratify.

Drift resolved in this commit: three doc mirrors still framing the
scaffolder as future — project-layout.md's 'the future aura new
scaffolder will emit this line; until then, add it by hand', the C24
status paragraph's 'what remains open is the aura new scaffolder (the
milestone's next cycle)', and the #109 open-thread bullet's 'the aura
new scaffolder and the experiment-builder API remain open' — all
rewritten to the landed reading (only the experiment-builder API stays
open in that layer).

Carried debt, filed forward: the scaffold templates and the
demo-project fixture encode one project shape twice with no lockstep
guard and deliberate cosmetic divergences (#181, idea — needs a design
pass, not a mechanical edit).

Process note: one mid-cycle plan-fix commit (derive(Debug) on a
plan-prescribed struct whose own test code required it) — the
implement loop's spec gate correctly blocked the necessary deviation;
resolution followed the fix-plan/commit-subset/re-run path.

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed per convention: spec 0103, plan 0103.

Brummel b672a37903 audit: cycle 0102 tidy (drift-clean after two ledger-mirror alignments)
Architect review of d7c935d..HEAD. What holds: C13/C16 separation
verified by diff (descriptor in aura-core::project, loader entirely in
aura-cli::project, aura-engine gains only the additive provenance
field); the C-tier-before-Rust-tier discipline is enforced in load()
(magic -> version -> stamps, fn pointers touched only after Ok);
C17/C24/invariant-9 hold (paths-only Aura.toml, injected merged
resolver, charter at the one seam); outside-a-project byte-identity
confirmed by the full green suite incl. every golden-bearing test.

Regression: cargo build --workspace rc=0; cargo test --workspace 862
passed / 0 failed (cli_run 133, project_load 7 e2e); clippy
--workspace --all-targets -D warnings rc=0; cargo doc --workspace
--no-deps 0 warnings. No baselines exist to move, so nothing to
ratify.

Drift resolved in this commit: two stale project-as-crate ledger
mirrors — the C24 status paragraph still calling the layer
sequencing-coupled/unbuilt, and the #109 open-thread bullet naming it
an unbuilt half — rewritten to record the landed load boundary (the
aura new scaffolder and the experiment-builder API stay open).

Carried holds (plan-prescribed bytes, cosmetic): the unreachable
rsplit fallback in node_name, the unreachable! build closure in one
aura-core test.

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed per convention: spec 0102, plan 0102.

Brummel 4928e289f7 feat(project): the project-as-crate load boundary (cycle 0102)
A research project is now a loadable external cdylib crate. Inside a
directory whose ancestry holds an Aura.toml, aura discovers the project
root cargo-style, locates the compiled dylib via cargo metadata (debug
default, --release opt-in), loads it load-and-hold, and refuses
mismatches before trusting anything: the AURA_PROJECT descriptor
(aura-core::project, #[repr(C)]) carries a C-ABI stamp prefix (rustc +
aura-core version, baked per consuming build by the new aura-core
build.rs) validated before any Rust-ABI field is read. The vocabulary
charter gates the merged resolution: project type ids are ::-namespaced
(std stays bare), duplicates refuse, and the enumerable type-id list
must agree with the resolver, so introspection can never silently omit
a project type.

All blueprint verbs resolve through the merged project + std vocabulary
via a per-invocation Env threaded through the dispatch chains;
registry, trace-store, and data paths anchor at the project runs root
(Aura.toml [paths], paths-only by design — instrument geometry stays
the recorded sidecar, C15). RunManifest gains the Tier-1 project
provenance field (namespace + dylib sha256 + best-effort commit),
stamped beside topology_hash on the blueprint-run paths; pre-0102
registry lines load unchanged. Default node names strip the namespace,
so :: never reaches the param-path address space.

Proven by the demo-project fixture (built by the e2e via cargo,
path-dep on this workspace): run twice bit-identical, provenance
recorded, introspection lists demo::* beside std, registry anchors at
the discovered root from a subdirectory; the badcharter fixture proves
the charter refusal through the real libloading path; a never-built
project refuses with a cargo-build hint. Outside a project every path
collapses to the previous literals — goldens and manifest pins
byte-identical.

Verification: cargo build --workspace clean; cargo test --workspace 862
passed / 0 failed (incl. 7 project_load e2e); clippy -D warnings clean
(one precedent-matching allow(too_many_arguments) on run_oos_blueprint,
whose arity the Env threading raised to 8); doc build unchanged.
Docs/ledger aligned: Aura.toml field lists are paths-only in
project-layout.md, glossary, C16/C17; new C13 realization note records
the per-invocation-reload reading and the load-and-hold one-shot scope
boundary.

New deps, per-case review (aura-cli leaf binary only, never the frozen
artifact): libloading, toml.

Brummel d7c935dd77 audit: cycle 0101 tidy (drift-clean after one ledger alignment)
Architect review of 8814e295..HEAD. What holds: the cosmetic-only claim is
verified (every -/+ pair in the code diff is a string literal; no exit(),
channel, or control-flow byte moved; the C14 usage=2/runtime=1 partition
preserved at every touched site); grep gates exact (zero lowercase usage:
literals, 11 'Usage: aura' source lines = 10 edited + the pre-conforming
run_args_from); fieldtests corpus and refusal diagnostics byte-identical.
The recorded spec deviation (3 additive house-style pins) strengthens
coverage over a real pin gap and is decision-logged on the issue.

Regression: cargo build rc=0, cargo test --workspace rc=0 (cli_run 133
passed / 0 failed), clippy -D warnings rc=0, doc build rc=0. No baselines
exist to move, so nothing to ratify.

Drift resolved in this commit: the C14 ledger note still described the
casing normalization as deferred after #179 landed - rewritten to record
the landed house style (usage lines 'Usage: aura <verb> ...', refusal
diagnostics deliberately unprefixed).

Brummel 8814e29597 audit: cycle 0100 tidy (drift-clean after one ledger alignment)
Architect review of 88e9c9a..HEAD. What holds: token purity of the rename
(removed + mapping == added, 33 sanctioned prose rewordings, numeric golden
bytes untouched); CLAUDE.md invariant 7 now matches the ledger C10 section
clause-by-clause; no silent alias for the old selectors (unknown-selector
exit-2 path is tested).

Regression: cargo build / clippy -D warnings / doc build clean; cargo test
--workspace rc=0, 51 targets, 0 failures. No baselines exist to move, so
nothing to ratify.

Drift resolved in this commit: the C10 terminology note (INDEX.md) still
called Stage-1 a surviving identifier name after the glossary recorded the
rename - aligned to name the r-family rename (#174). Remaining low items:
the spec's own survivor-list contradiction was ratified and recorded on the
issue; the RGrid const-seeding debt is recorded on the harness-retirement
issue (refs #159).

Brummel 4de6d5cbad rename: retire the stage1-* family for the r-family (r-sma / r-breakout / r-meanrev)
The stage1 ordinal has been dead vocabulary since the C10 reframe dropped
the two-stage research model: a 1 structurally implies a 2 that no longer
exists. The family is renamed by its live discriminator - the R yardstick -
with members named by their signal, uniform with their signal-named
siblings (sma, macd, momentum):

- selectors: stage1-r -> r-sma, stage1-breakout -> r-breakout,
  stage1-meanrev -> r-meanrev (old tokens are usage errors, exit 2 - no
  silent alias)
- identifiers: Strategy::RSma/RBreakout/RMeanRev, HarnessKind::RSma,
  r_sma_*/r_breakout_*/r_meanrev_*, wrap_r, run_signal_r, RGrid, R_SMA_*
- persisted identity: the sma_signal composite (param prefix
  sma_signal.fast.length / .slow.length; fixtures regenerated; content-ids
  shift - no test pins a literal hash, the registry parses no record names)
- e2e test files git-mv'd to r_sma_e2e / r_breakout_e2e / r_meanrev_e2e
- dead Stage-1/Stage-2 prose reworded to post-C10 vocabulary across
  rustdoc, Cargo.tomls, ledger live lines, and the glossary (historical
  entries stay; fieldtests corpus untouched)
- CLAUDE.md invariant 7 rewritten to record the ratified C10 reframe
  faithfully (the token-swap alone would have laundered the retired
  gated-currency/realistic-broker design into unmarked live prose); the
  unbacked account-mode clause dropped

Verification: cargo build/test --workspace green (51 targets), clippy
-D warnings clean, doc build clean, acceptance grep gate leaves exactly
the one resampling-stage false positive (harness.rs), smoke: --harness
r-sma runs, --harness stage1-r exits 2 with the new usage line.

Brummel 88e9c9a539 fix(cli): symmetric sweep/mc family-verb polish (closed error, mc seed label, mandatory-knob docs)
Three polish items surfaced by the World/C21 milestone fieldtest:

- A sweep of a fully-bound (closed) blueprint is refused up front with a clear
  "this blueprint is fully bound; nothing to sweep" message — the symmetric
  inverse of blueprint_mc_family's closed-blueprint guard — instead of leaking a
  misleading UnknownKnob for a knob that is not unknown but bound out.
  blueprint_sweep_family's error contract widens to String; the sweep terminal's
  BindError (a genuine unknown/kind-mismatch axis) still surfaces verbatim.
- mc reproduce lines now carry each member's seed=<N> label. Monte-Carlo members
  hold no tuning params, so the member label was blank; the seed is each draw's
  realization identity. Sweep / walk-forward labels (which echo params) unchanged.
- docs (design ledger + glossary): state that every open knob --list-axes prints
  is mandatory on sweep / walkforward — a subset is refused with the missing knob
  named (BindError::MissingKnob), there is no default; pin a knob you do not want
  to vary with a single-value axis.

RED-first for the two behaviour items. One existing unknown-axis E2E is re-pointed
from the closed fixture (which now hits the new "nothing to sweep" pre-check) to
the open fixture; it still exercises UnknownKnob("nope") specifically — resolve
raises UnknownKnob in phase 1 before MissingKnob in phase 2 — so the property is
preserved, not weakened.

Brummel 27f0f8ea11 audit(0099): cycle close — CLI clap adoption; ledger refreshed (C14); rm ephemeral spec/plan
Architect drift review (scope 780d823..HEAD, the sole gate — no regression
script) returned one medium ledger-gap, now resolved; otherwise drift-clean with
a positive What-holds:
- invariant 8 / C16 engine-domain separation preserved: clap is confined to
  crates/aura-cli/Cargo.toml; the whole diff touches only aura-cli/ + Cargo.lock
  + ephemeral docs; no engine/std/composites/analysis/registry/core/ingest crate
  mentions clap, so the frozen deploy artifact structurally cannot pick it up
  (aura-cli is a leaf binary). The 16 new lock entries are exactly clap's tree.
- C16 per-case admission honest: clap admitted with a documented rationale at the
  Cargo.toml site (replaces the hand-rolled parser + ten help surfaces; dev-loop
  tax, not frozen-artifact tax), the same admission form as sha2/libc.
- C14 automation-face served, execution layer intact: the usage=2/runtime=1
  partition, scoped --help, --version, and GNU flags match the spec; the domain
  fns keep their signatures (arg-plumbing via thin *_from adapters); new
  behaviour is pinned (partition property test, version, scoped-help, dual-grammar
  stray-positional guard).

Ledger refreshed: the C14 realization block now records the clap adoption + the
exit-code partition (usage=2/runtime=1) as a durable automation contract, before
the ephemeral spec that first stated it is removed (the drift item the architect
raised).

Deferred/forward: error-message casing normalization (#179, idea); the
machine-first help surface stays on the #157/C21 track (Fork B settled this cycle
as human/GNU convention compliance).

Verified green (orchestrator, this session): cargo build --workspace clean; cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; cargo test --workspace
green. Cycle drift-clean.

Brummel 4710fccf32 audit(0097): cycle close — IS-refit walk-forward over a loaded blueprint; ledger refreshed (C24/C18); rm ephemeral spec/plan
cycle 0097 tidy (clean). Architect drift review over 485f3c8..HEAD: no code
drift, no debt. Regression: no dedicated script (architect is the sole gate);
its "What holds" is non-empty (design commitments confirmed against the diff):
- Inv. 8 / 9: the cycle touches only crates/aura-cli (main.rs + cli_run.rs +
  the ephemeral spec/plan); walk_forward/WindowRoller/FamilyKind::WalkForward/
  append_family/put_blueprint are read-only reuse, no engine/registry change.
- Inv. 1 / 2: blueprint_walkforward_family reuses the generic walk_forward roller
  (windows disjoint-parallel, across-sim); each IS-sweep/OOS-run sees only its
  window's windowed_sources; IS precedes OOS per window — no look-ahead.
- Reproduce lockstep: the reproduce_family_in WalkForward arm rebuilds each OOS
  slice from stored.manifest.window (before the _ => run_sources fallthrough that
  would rebuild the wrong full-window source); winner params via the shared
  manifest->cells recovery; pinned by the reproduces_bit_identically E2E.
- Structural mirror + panic-safety: one-substitution-deep twin of the hard-wired
  Stage1R arm (select_winner + walk_forward reused, metric sqn_normalized);
  run_blueprint_walkforward follows the content-addressed sibling pattern (no
  ensure_name_free); blueprint_sweep_over returns Result<_,BindError>, a bad axis
  is in-closure exit 2 (never a panic); run_oos_blueprint derives pip internally
  (7 args, no #[allow]).

Ledger: refreshed the C24 realization block (docs/design/INDEX.md) — replaced the
now-false "Walk-forward is deferred (#173, dep #169)" sentence with the "IS-refit
walk-forward shipped (cycle 0097)" note; and extended the C18 reproduction note —
reproduce now spans the third family kind (WalkForward), so all three FamilyKind
variants persist AND reproduce through the one shared topology_hash+put_blueprint
hook.

Milestone: the World/C21 blueprint-data family surface (run/sweep/mc/walkforward/
list-axes/reproduce) is coherent and complete per the architect review — no
structural gap. This audit proves drift-clean; a green end-to-end MILESTONE

Brummel 485f3c8c89 audit(0096): cycle close — axis discovery over a loaded blueprint; ledger refreshed (C24); rm ephemeral spec/plan
cycle 0096 tidy (clean). Architect drift review over ebebc24..HEAD: no drift,
no debt. Regression: no dedicated script (architect is the sole gate); its
"What holds" is non-empty (design commitments confirmed against the diff + a
green test run, not the commit body):
- Inv. 8 / 9: the cycle touches only crates/aura-cli (main.rs + cli_run.rs +
  the ephemeral spec/plan) — no engine/registry/blueprint.rs change; those are
  read-only callees.
- Inv. 1: --list-axes is a pure read-only probe (short-circuits before
  run_blueprint_sweep; builds the wrapped composite, reads param_space, prints
  — no run, no seed, no engine execution).
- Behaviour-preserving single-source: blueprint_axis_probe is token-identical to
  the two former inline probes; three copies (sweep/mc/list) collapse to one; the
  reload closures survive (topology_hash + per-member run); clippy -D warnings
  clean, no dead code; the subsumed tests
  (blueprint_sweep_member_equals_single_run_and_shares_topology_hash,
  blueprint_mc_family_rejects_an_open_blueprint) stayed green.
- The blueprint_axis_probe .expect is not a latent panic: the ["sweep",..] arm
  validates blueprint_from_json first (exit 2), pinned by the shipped
  aura_sweep_list_axes_rejects_malformed_blueprint E2E (no panic).

Ledger: refreshed the C24 realization block (docs/design/INDEX.md) — reclassified
the "axis-name discovery surface" from tracked debt to shipped (cycle 0096),
recording the single-sourced blueprint_axis_probe and the listed==swept-by-
construction property. Per-member trace-writing (#168) remains the one tracked
debt in that block.

  monte_carlo, append_family, mc_member_reports are pre-existing seams reused.
- invariant 1 / C1: draws run disjoint-parallel via the engine monte_carlo seam
  (seed-input order, no within-sim concurrency); bit-identity proven by the
  reproduce round-trip (unit + E2E).
- the C1 lockstep is a single shared fn: synthetic_walk_sources (one fixed
  SyntheticSpec) is called by BOTH the persist path and the reproduce MonteCarlo
  branch; pip is lockstepped too (both pass DataSource::Synthetic).
- the sweep-sibling pattern matches: Result<McFamily,String> + boundary render.
- scope honesty: WF deferral (#173, dep #169) and synthetic-walk-DGP (#172) are
  named in the spec + feat body, not silent.

Carry-on debt (does NOT block close, filed forward, NOT new-this-cycle drift):
synthetic_walk_sources' len:60 is hand-calibrated to the shallow stage1 warm-up;
a deep-lookback closed blueprint warms poorly -> silent-vacuous draws with no
error, and the anti-degenerate test only exercises the shallow fixture. Folded
into #172 (real-data DGP retires the length calibration) per the architect's
recommendation, rather than a new thread.

Ledger refreshed: the C21 realization block now records the MC verb shipped
(cycle 0095) with WF deferred; the C18 reproduction block notes aura reproduce
now spans FamilyKind::MonteCarlo.

Verified green (orchestrator, this session): cargo build --workspace clean;
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; cargo test
--workspace green. Cycle is drift-clean (not a milestone close — #170's WF half
remains, milestone stays open).

Brummel cec7811c32 audit(0094): cycle close — content-addressed reproduction; ledger refreshed, coverage closed; rm ephemeral spec/plan
Architect drift review (4751d4b..HEAD): drift_found — ledger-currency only; the
code is clean.

What holds (architect, confirmed by diff + green tests):
- Inv 8 / C9: aura-engine byte-untouched; content_id + sha2 in aura-cli, the
  store in aura-registry.
- Inv 9: Registry::{put,get}_blueprint is a dumb bytes-by-key store (opaque
  String keyed by String hash; no sha2, no parse, no sha256==hash verify — the
  caller owns the hash). No domain knowledge crept into the engine or registry.
- C1: the run_blueprint_member extraction is behaviour-preserving (keystone
  blueprint_sweep_member_equals_single_run_and_shares_topology_hash unchanged +
  green); serde_json/float_roundtrip serves determinism (disk==recomputed), not a
  mask (1-ULP canary green).
- C11/C12: one blueprint stored per family, keyed by the shared topology_hash.

Resolutions:
- [ledger] Refreshed C18 + C24: added the cycle-0094 Realization (the
  content-addressed store runs/blueprints/<hash>.json + aura reproduce), and
  retired the now-false "content-addressed identity / full reproduction deferred"
  claims (INDEX.md:1261, C24 deferred block). Only the structural-axis /
  whole-harness content-id (and the debug-name-in-id question) genuinely remains,
  filed forward (#171, #170).
- [debt->closed] Added the two untested refuse-don't-guess E2E arms
  (aura_reproduce_rejects_a_non_generated_family — a hard-wired sweep member has
  no topology_hash; aura_reproduce_rejects_a_missing_stored_blueprint — the store
  was deleted), and a cross-surface unit pin
  (topology_hash_is_the_content_id_of_the_canonical_form) so the two acc-1 paths
  cannot silently drift.
- [scaling] MC/walk-forward-from-blueprint (#170) will need the same put_blueprint
  hook or reproduce won't cover them — noted on #170.

No regression scripts in this project (Test is the gate): full workspace suite
green (51 suites), clippy -D warnings clean, binary verified end-to-end.

Brummel 4751d4b590 audit(0093): cycle close — sweep-from-blueprint; ledger refreshed, debt filed; rm ephemeral spec/plan
Cycle-close drift review (architect) for cycle 0093 / #166 (aura sweep
<blueprint.json>). Drift-found on debt only; no contract violation.

What holds (architect, evidence of review): invariant 9 fail-clean (resolve_axes
runs before the sweep closure → named BindError UnknownKnob/MissingKnob/KindMismatch,
exit 2; UnknownNodeType on load; no registry); C1/C12/C18 shape verbatim from
stage1_r_sweep_family (members disjoint + enumeration-ordered; shared topology_hash
correct, consistent with the cycle-1 #158 signal-only scope; append_family/
sweep_member_reports reused); reload-per-member is sound (Composite !Clone, #164);
stdout uses family_member_line with family_id, run_sweep-consistent.

Resolved: ledger refreshed (C24 Status — the cycle-0093 realization: the World now
orchestrates FAMILIES from blueprint-data; the open-vs-bound fixture fact + the
reload-per-member rationale recorded). Drift filed forward: #168 (--trace writes no
per-member traces — silently like --name, debt-med), #169 (no axis-name discovery
for loaded sweeps, debt-low), #170 (MC/walk-forward over a loaded blueprint — the

Cycle-close drift review (architect) for cycle 0092 / #165 (aura run
<blueprint.json>). Drift-found on ledger currency only; the code is clean and
correct.

What holds (architect, evidence of review): the stage1_signal/wrap_stage1r split
is behaviour-preserving (golden metrics byte-unchanged; loaded_signal bit-identical
green; the STAGE1_R_SMA_* constants keep the hashed signal == the executed signal);
sha2 + the topology_hash helper live in aura-cli only, aura-engine stays sha2-free
(invariant 8 / C16); the resolver resolves the closed std_vocabulary set, unknown
type -> UnknownNodeType, no registry (invariant 9); topology_hash is a correct
Tier-1 optional and the RunManifest <-> RunManifestRead read-mirror both carry it.

Resolved: ledger refreshed (C24 Status — the cycle-0092 run-from-blueprint
realization + the topology_hash #158 anchor landing; #158 reframed from "premature"
to "field landed, full reproduction remains"). Drift filed forward: #167
(single-source the stage1-r suffix-remapping lockstep — debt-med), and a scope note
on #158 (the hash currently covers the signal only; a structural-variant content-id
is the #158/#166 concern). The spec's illustrative instrument:"GER40" example
(note-low) is moot — the ephemeral spec is removed here.

Brummel df228986c4 docs(ledger): C24 enforcement shift — invariant 9 moves from structural to resolver-seam
A cycle-0091 design analysis (adversarially verified) of "does invariant 9
survive lifting blueprints onto the data plane?" records a load-bearing finding
in the C24 entry.

Pre-C24 a blueprint referencing another project's node was a compile error
(topology was in-process Rust — structurally impossible). Post-C24 it is a
type-id string refused only by the injected resolver's closed set
(UnknownNodeType). The anti-NIH rationale survives (logic stays cargo+Gitea-only;
the format distributes topology-as-content, never logic, C17) and std_vocabulary
stays a compiled-in dispatch table, not a registry — but enforcement of the
engine/project boundary degrades from compiler-guaranteed to resolver-seam
discipline. Two consequences recorded: #160 becomes the data-plane face of that
boundary (no longer droppable; its own drift still fails safe), and the injected
per-project resolver is the genuinely new, deferred invariant-9 surface (a
project can express a marketplace one layer above the engine contract) — a
World/C21-layer charter point. Invariant 8 (frozen) is reframed alongside:
runtime topology generation (research plane) + frozen deploy artifact +
deterministic-once-instantiated (C1).

Brummel b8b83cf1c9 feat(0091): byte-canonical blueprint emit; record the equality-surface decision
#164 — tighten the C24 "canonical, versioned" blueprint contract on two corners
the milestone fieldtest surfaced. Both forks were derivable; resolved with
rationale (recorded on #164).

Fork 1 — canonical artifact carries no trailing newline. `blueprint_to_json`
returns the JSON value with no trailing newline (647 bytes for the SMA-cross
fixture); `aura graph build` had framed it with a `println!` (648). The library
serializer is the single canonical source — the form content-addressed topology
identity (#158) hashes — so the CLI is a transport that must not mutate the
bytes: `build_cmd` now `print!`s the canonical bytes verbatim, making the CLI and
library emit paths byte-identical. RED-first: the new E2E
`graph_build_emit_is_byte_canonical_no_trailing_newline` pinned the trailing
newline (FAIL), green after the one-line change. The two cycle-0088 `.out.json`
goldens are re-recorded at 647 bytes. The loader stays lenient (a trailing
newline on input still parses, Tier-1 robustness; the milestone fieldtest's
`mt_4` tolerance check is unaffected).

Fork 2 — the canonical JSON is the blueprint equality/identity surface; no
second in-memory PartialEq/Debug is added. `Composite`/`BlueprintNode` cannot
derive them: `PrimitiveBuilder` (aura-core node.rs) holds a
`build: Box<dyn Fn(&[Cell]) -> Box<dyn Node>>` closure, neither comparable nor
printable. Equality could only be defined over the serialized data, of which
`blueprint_to_json` is already the single source; a separate in-memory equality
notion would be a redundant second source of truth and a drift hazard against
the form #158 hashes. Recorded the decision (discharges acceptance box 2's "or
JSON-string is the intended equality surface" arm) in the C24 ledger; no code
added for it.

Verified: cargo test --workspace green (51 suites, incl. the new RED->green E2E);
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean.

Brummel 8bb21b1c16 docs(0088): document op-script grammar; refresh stale cycle-0088 example corpus
#163 — the construction op-script (`aura graph build`) had no durable public
schema doc, and the only worked-example corpus had drifted out of sync with the
current binary, so a consumer copying the visible example was misled.

Grammar reference (durable): a compact op-script grammar — the six verbs
(source/input/add/feed/connect/expose), their keys, the typed-Scalar bind form
({"I64":2}) and the capitalized ScalarKind, the by-identifier / dotted-port
model, and the add-`name` vs expose-`as` distinction — added to the C24 ledger
entry, with a correct worked-example pointer. Surfacing the same grammar in
`aura graph build --help` is left to ride with the CLI-discoverability work
(#159), keeping this change decoupled from the deferred World/project-as-crate
layer.

Corpus refresh: the cycle-0088 fixture corpus replayed against the current
binary failed on two accumulated drifts. (1) `add`'s naming key was renamed
`as` -> `name` (3c4b667; `expose` keeps `as` as a real alias) — the inputs now
use `name` for `add` ops only. (2) The dataflow-cycle bug the 0088 fieldtest
found was fixed (1652042, closes #161), so `c0088_3m_two_cycle` is now a
rejection fixture: the gap-era cyclic-blueprint golden is removed and
`c0088_3m.err` carries the eager cycle-rejection message. FINDINGS.md gets a
dated refresh stamp; its findings are preserved as written at fieldtest time.

Verified: the four golden-bearing success fixtures (_1, _2_completed,
_2_partial via --unwired) reproduce byte-identically; all 15 error fixtures
produce the intended by-identifier `op N (kind): cause` (or finalize) message.
Doc + fixtures only, no engine/CLI code touched.

Brummel 3f75d59598 audit(0090): cycle + C24 milestone close — fieldtest green; ledger + rm ephemeral spec/plan
Closes the cycle-0090 (#156) work and delivers the "Topology-as-data:
blueprint serialization & loader (C24)" milestone.

Cycle-0090 audit (architect drift review, range 7ad7f58..HEAD): drift-clean
on substance. Tier-1 forward-tolerance is genuinely serde-default
(deny_unknown_fields = 0 in every production struct), pinned at envelope +
primitive across both the in-crate and public-seam tests; Tier-2 refusals
real and green; no struct/signature/runtime change; the invariant-5
acyclicity lockstep (construction gate <-> bootstrap Kahn sort) undisturbed;
invariant-9 resolver stays injected, no registry. The one medium item the
architect flagged — the C24 Remaining block carried no deferral signal for
#158/#159 — is fixed in this commit's ledger update.

Milestone fieldtest (fieldtests/milestone-topology-as-data/, the close-gate
evidence): GREEN, 0 behavioural bugs. A downstream consumer ran the full
author -> serialize -> load -> construct -> introspect -> reproduce story from
the public surface alone — round-trip bit-exact on both authoring surfaces
(Rust builder + op-script CLI), build-free introspection, Tier-1/Tier-2
forward-compat by name, fail-fast diagnostics by identifier. Verified the
headline claims myself (the two Rust binaries + the CLI build/diff + the
fail-fast exits), not just the agent's report.

Findings triaged to the forward queue (none blocking): op-script grammar
undocumented + a stale cycle-0088 example (#163); canonical trailing-newline
divergence + Composite Debug/PartialEq ergonomics (#164); CLI discoverability
of build/introspect + no `graph run` (commented on #159); the newline as a
content-addressing prerequisite (commented on #158).

#158 (content-address topology in the manifest) and #159 (retire the
hard-wired harnesses) were moved OUT of this milestone: both are premature
until the World generates runs from blueprint-data (commit still fully
identifies every hard-wired topology), so they belong to the
project-as-crate / World cycle. The C24 ledger Status records the delivery
and the deferral.

Ephemeral cycle-0090 spec + plan removed per the lifecycle convention.
The Gitea milestone container is closed on user ratification (this run
tees up the close, does not click it).

Brummel cdd2da6337 feat(0090): blueprint format forward-compat — Tier-1 tolerance pinned, two-tier discipline codified (closes #156)
The blueprint data format (C24) extends additively under one codified
two-tier discipline:
- Tier-1 (additive-optional): a new optional field/section is tolerated by an
  older reader (serde ignores unknown fields — no deny_unknown_fields), with no
  format_version bump; by C1 a new optional field defaults to prior behaviour,
  so an old blueprint reproduces the same graph.
- Tier-2 (must-understand: a new node type, edge semantics, or structural-axis
  kind): bumps format_version, so an old reader refuses cleanly
  (LoadError::UnsupportedVersion / UnknownNodeType) rather than silently
  building a different graph.

Most of #156 already shipped with #155 (cycle 0087): the envelope, omit-defaults
canonical form, and both Tier-2 load-path refusals were present and green. This
cycle pins the one previously-unproven property — Tier-1 forward-tolerance of an
unknown optional field on the current loader — and codifies the discipline.

Changes:
- New characterization pin (in-crate, blueprint_serde.rs):
  unknown_optional_field_is_tolerated_byte_identically — an unknown optional key
  at doc and primitive level loads byte-identically and runs bit-identically.
- Two public-seam E2E pins (blueprint_serde_e2e.rs, added by the E2E phase):
  unknown_envelope_field_tolerated_through_public_api and
  unknown_primitive_field_tolerated_through_public_api — split the two distinct
  tolerance surfaces (envelope vs primitive) across the World/cdylib crate
  boundary, where a deny_unknown_fields added to one would break forward-compat
  while leaving the in-crate test green.
- LoadError::UnsupportedVersion doc reworded from the deferred "is #156" note to
  the settled two-tier discipline statement.
- C24 ledger (docs/design/INDEX.md): Status codification sentence added; #156
  dropped from Remaining (#158/#159 stay).

Derived fork (recorded on #156): the per-section required-flag mechanism (PNG
critical-vs-ancillary) is NOT built — the version envelope already gives the
must-understand refusal at version granularity, no current Tier-2 section
validates a finer scheme, and C1 holds either way.

The pin is a characterization test (GREEN on first run) — it documents existing
serde silent-ignore behaviour, no production code changed. Verified: cargo test
-p aura-engine green (all targets, three new tests confirmed by name); cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.

Cycle-close audit for the /boss run that followed up the cycle-0088 construction
fieldtest (#161 cycle-reject + #162 diagnostics-by-identifier). Regression gate:
full workspace suite green (0 failed).

Architect drift review (range 86841b0..HEAD): drift_found, two items, both
documentation-side — the code is correct and green.
- What holds: invariant 5 / C9 acyclicity (closes_cycle is a correct eager
  reachability gate, no false positive on a valid DAG); C24 no-second-validator
  (blueprint.rs untouched, finish() only translates the gates' returned
  CompileError); fieldtest corpus handled per convention.
- Resolved (fix path, ledger): the C24 Status now enumerates the #161 eager
  acyclicity gate and captures the LOCKSTEP the architect flagged — closes_cycle
  (construction-time) and the bootstrap Kahn sort (harness.rs, BootstrapError::Cycle)
  are now two homes of invariant-5 that must co-evolve when the explicit
  delay/register node lands; plus a note that the holistic finalize faults now read
  by-identifier (#162) while still calling the unchanged gates.

Ephemeral 0089 spec + plan git-rm'd per the active-cycle artefact lifecycle; the
durable rationale is lifted to the ledger above. No code change in this commit.

Brummel 86841b0740 audit(0088): cycle close — drift fixes + C24 ledger refresh; close construction service
Architect drift review of cycle 0088 (#157, the introspectable fail-fast
construction service: §A shared gate predicates, §B the GraphSession/Op/replay
per-op surface + introspection, §C the aura graph build/introspect CLI).

What holds (confirmed against the diff): no-second-validator (C24) — edge_kind_check
is the single kind-check site called by both validate_wiring and
GraphSession::connect, and validate_wiring / check_param_namespace_injective are
reused verbatim in finish(); engine domain-free (invariant 9) — construction takes an
injected Fn(&str)->Option<PrimitiveBuilder>, no registry, the closed match +
std_vocabulary_types live in aura-std; topology-as-data / no DSL (C24/C17/inv 10) —
the engine Op is serde-free, the OpDoc wire DTO is CLI-side, ops are static and
non-Turing-complete; replay-equals-builder byte-identity (construction_e2e.rs) protects
C9/C19/C23.

Resolution:
- fix (drift-med): the root-role-boundness gate was the one holistic check finish()
  re-implemented instead of sharing — extracted check_root_roles_bound (blueprint.rs)
  and called from BOTH compile_with_cells and finish(), so finish() now reuses ALL the
  holistic gates and the no-second-validator claim is literally true. Behaviour-
  preserving (same UnboundRootRole variant; unbound_root_role_is_rejected stays green).
- fix (drift-med): removed the #![allow(dead_code)] on construction.rs — empirically
  unnecessary (the pub re-exported surface is reachable; clippy -D warnings green
  without it) — and its now-inaccurate comment (it claimed removal "when the consumer
  lands", but the consumer is a separate crate). Also tidied a stale graph_construct.rs
  module-doc line.
- fix (ledger): C24 Status refreshed — #157 moved out of "Remaining" with a cycle-0088
  realization note (the construction service: eager/holistic gate split, build-free
  introspection, emits the #155 blueprint); #159 reframed as paired with #157.
- carry-on (debt-med, forward-noted): the std_vocabulary roster is now a third hand-kept
  copy (match + test list + std_vocabulary_types) and introspect --vocabulary escalates
  #160's gap to user-facing — noted on #160; still fails safe.
- carry-on (scaling-low, forward-noted): the engine Op -> wire OpDoc direction is
  unguarded for future Op variants — noted on #156 (the format-extension track).

No architect-sweep / regression script is declared in the project facts, so the suite
is the gate: cargo test --workspace 51 suites green; clippy --all-targets -D warnings
clean. Cycle drift-clean.

Architect drift review of cycle 0087 (#155, the C24 blueprint-serialization-and-
loader first cut). What holds (confirmed against the diff): C17 / no-RustAst (the
format carries only type identity + name + bound params + topology; the build
closure is dropped and re-derived, no node logic in the data); invariant 9 /
domain-free engine (injected resolver, the closed match in aura-std, engine lib
deps aura-core + aura-analysis only — a compiled-in closed set, not a dynamic
registry); C9 round-trip / C23 bootstrap untouched (loader's terminal step is the
unchanged Composite::new -> bootstrap_with_params; validation deferred to the
existing gate, not bypassed).

Resolution:
- fix (ledger): C24 Status refreshed from "unbuilt" to "first cut shipped"
  with a cycle-0087 realization note; C9's round-trips-both-ways refinement
  marked realised. The ledger no longer contradicts the code.
- backlog (debt-med): the hand-written std_vocabulary match has no guard test
  that fails when a new zero-arg aura-std node lacks an arm — fails safe today
  (clean UnknownNodeType, never silent-wrong). Filed as #160.
- carry-on (scaling): construction-arg builders + sinks excluded, so no real
  harness round-trips yet; harness retirement blocks on the construction +
  project-as-crate layers — already tracked #156/#157/#159.

No architect-sweep / regression script is declared in the project facts, so the
suite is the gate: cargo test --workspace 748 passed (737 -> 748 = the 11 new

Brummel d925a747cb feat(0086): cost-flag CLI ergonomics — units note, named diagnostics, non-R-harness guard
#153 (friction surfaced by the milestone-#148 close fieldtest). Three cost-flag
fixes on `aura run`, all on the pure parse_run_args grammar:

- Units discoverable: a COST_FLAGS_NOTE appended to the run usage + --help
  (price units, charged in R as cost/|entry-stop|, per-ENGINE-cycle carry,
  >= 0, stage1-r only).
- A negative rate names the cause + flag ("<flag> must be non-negative, got <v>")
  via a factored parse_nonneg_rate helper, not a bare usage dump.
- A cost flag on a non-R harness (sma/macd) is refused (exit 2, "cost flags
  require an R-evaluator harness (stage1-r)") instead of silently ignored — the
  named spec_gap, decided reject/fail-loud (refuse-don't-guess, recorded on #153),
  pinned by a new C10 ledger note.

Internal RunArgs/RunData/HarnessKind gain #[derive(Debug)] (behaviour-neutral) so
the pure parse_run_args unit tests can use expect_err.

Verified independently: cargo test -p aura-cli green, the eight stage1-r cost
goldens byte-unchanged; clippy -p aura-cli --all-targets -D warnings clean. Only

- C12: cross-sim `Arc<[T]>` sharing is no longer "still open" — the

  `Arc<DataServer>`/`FileCache`, so a window is parsed once and shared
  zero-copy across the disjoint sims (aura-ingest/src/lib.rs:316).
- open-threads: `aura-std` is no longer "doc-only" — ~30 node modules.
- C15: record that `Session` deliberately ships only `bars_since_open`
  (the node's own contract), the other two streams deferred (refs #154).

Brummel 84ec2ab5d1 audit(0085): cycle close — drift-clean; C10 cycle-0085 realization note
Cycle 5 of milestone #148 (per-cycle-held accrual + CarryCost). Architect drift
review over 39f9387..f5e00a9: status clean, no code drift.

What holds (architect, evidence-of-review):
- C11 byte-identity: the AtClose eval arm is the pre-cycle-5 tokens verbatim
  (if closed { per } / if open { per }, the per + cum lines unchanged), so the
  cycle-0083/0084 net_expectancy_r goldens (-614.3134020253314, -615.0304388396047)
  stay byte-identical and the AtClose unit regressions are untouched.
- Accrual sound, no double-count: aura-analysis (summarize_r) is genuinely unchanged.
  During a hold the carry lives only in open_cost_in_r (cum=0); at close it moves to
  cum while open_cost->0 (open/closed mutually exclusive per cycle), so net_r_equity
  subtracts cum+open singly. summarize_r reads the close-row dumped total + the
  window-end accrued-so-far — one charge per trade, acc reset proven. The 3-field
  cost record's semantics generalize cleanly to accrual.
- C9/C16/C23: the diff touches only aura-std + aura-cli; aura-engine stays
  domain-free. CarryCost is a CostNode factor, CostRunner a plain Node, composed via
  cost_graph/CostSum. label() carries its param. All three run_stage1_r call sites
  threaded; the negative-rate guard is symmetric with the sibling cost flags.

Resolved this commit (the cycle-close ledger sync):
- C10 realization note (cycle 0085) added under docs/design/INDEX.md — C10's
  "per-cycle-held factors accrue over the hold" clause is now first realized (the
  prior 0084 note covered the cost-graph composite-builder).

Regression gate: cargo test --workspace (0 failures), cargo build --workspace, cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean — the architect is the primary
gate (no dedicated regression script). Ephemera (spec 0085 + plan 0085) git rm'd.

Milestone "Cost-model graph (in R)" remains OPEN.

Brummel face1879a6 audit(0084): cycle close — drift-clean (code); C10 cycle-0084 note + doc fixes
Cycle 4 of milestone #148 (cost-graph composite-builder). Architect drift review
over fc52b4f..d5c44dd: drift_found, every item dispositioned.

What holds (architect, evidence-of-review): C16/C9 — cost_graph lives in
aura-composites, the factors in aura-std, aura-engine stays domain-free; the
composite is ordinary downstream nodes. C11 behaviour-preservation is structural,
not just asserted — the composite inlines to the same flat fan-in as the deleted
CLI block (identical node set/order, cost[k].field slot map, geometry fan, net_eq
terms/signs, cost_rec cols), so the cycle-0083 net_expectancy_r goldens stay
byte-identical. C23 — role/port names non-load-bearing; 4 fixtures pin the role-set
+ output triple.

Resolved this commit:
- [high] ledger C10: the cycle-0083 note's "Still deferred (decision E)" is removed
  (E shipped this cycle) and a cycle-0084 realization note added.
- [medium] cost_graph .leak() provenance (aura-composites/src/lib.rs): the
  "risk_executor precedent" was imprecise — that .leak() lives in risk_executor's
  TEST (one-shot, leak-safe), not its production builder. Doc corrected: the leak is
  fine for one-shot run-path construction but must be interned (the COL_PORTS
  production pattern) before cost reaches the sweep path.
- [low] cli_run.rs golden docstring cited the deleted `slot * COST_WIDTH + f` CLI
  wiring; updated to the cost_graph composite's per-node cost[k].<port> wiring.

Deferred (tracked, not pending) -> #152:
- [medium] the cost[k].<port> index-namespacing restated across CostSum / cost_graph
  / the CLI (a build-validated lockstep — a divergent name fails loudly at g.build(),
  NOT the silent positional kind 0083 collapsed), AND the per-build .leak() that
  becomes an allocation regression on the per-member sweep path. Both are harmless on
  the current run-only cost path; the proper fix is one sweep-safe single-source
  cost-port-name contract (interned), best built with the deferred sweep-cost cycle.

Regression gate: cargo test --workspace (0 failures), clippy --workspace --all-targets
-- -D warnings clean, cargo doc clean — the architect is the primary gate (no dedicated
regression script). Ephemera (spec 0084 + plan 0084) git rm'd.

Milestone "Cost-model graph (in R)" remains OPEN.

Brummel fc52b4fced audit(0083): cycle close — drift-clean (code); C10 cycle-0083 note + lib.rs doc
Architect drift review over 6c7f5dd..HEAD. No regression scripts in this project
→ the architect is the sole gate; verdict: shipped code byte-clean.

What holds (verified against the diff):
- C9 — a CostRunner<F> is a plain downstream Node; the two cost nodes are thin
  factors wired through the same cost_node_builder. No runtime sub-object.
- C18 / byte-identity — the numerator/latched token form is preserved verbatim;
  the two new CLI goldens pin exact net_expectancy_r and pass; the no-cost golden
  is untouched.
- C10 co-temporality + C23 + invariant-4 — the gate-on-PM-geometry-only rule
  (cold factor input → 0 cost, row still emits) is now centralized once in the
  runner; name() dropped cleanly (label() remains the non-load-bearing symbol);
  the 3-field triple is a single source (COST_FIELD_NAMES) read by both producers
  + CostSum + the CLI — the cycle-0082 by-convention lockstep is structurally gone.

Resolution:
- [fix] docs/design/INDEX.md C10 — added the cycle-0083 realization note (each
  prior cost cycle got one; the deferred general CostNode trait is now shipped and
  the lockstep eliminated). Ledger deferred-work tracking re-synced.
- [fix] crates/aura-std/src/lib.rs:5 — module doc now names the CostNode/CostRunner
  authoring surface.
- [carry-on, low debt] vol_slippage_cost.rs still declares its extra-input port
  twice (the cost_node_builder arg and the trait extra_inputs()); a clean unifier
  needs design thought (builder() is static, no factor instance) and is not worth
  forcing at cycle close. Documented here; agreement rests on the helper + a test +
  the harness debug-assert.

Cycle 0083 ephemera removed (docs/specs/0083 + docs/plans/0083).

Verified: cargo build/test --workspace clean (0 failures), clippy -D warnings
clean, cargo doc -p aura-std clean (CostNode/CostRunner intra-doc links resolve).

Brummel 6c7f5dd147 audit(0082): cycle close — drift-clean; C10 cycle-0082 note + cost-flag validation symmetry
Cycle 0082 (cost-graph composition, cycle 2) closes drift-clean against C10. The
architect review confirms the cycle is fundamentally sound:

What holds: VolSlippageCost + CostSum are ordinary aura-std downstream nodes
(C9/C8), cost stays out of aura-engine; the vol proxy is a trailing realized range
(C2, no look-ahead); feed-forward, no equity feedback (C1); the co-temporality
contract (gate cost nodes on PM geometry only, 0-cost on a cold state input) is
consistent with C1/C2/C9 and the cycle-1 positional join, and charging 0 during
warm-up is honest (no estimate yet, not a fabricated guess). The no-cost C18 golden
is byte-identical.

Drift resolved at close:
- [medium -> fixed] docs/design/INDEX.md (C10): added the cycle-0082 realization
  note. The load-bearing co-temporality contract (generalizes to all future cost
  factors) lived only in code comments + spec 0082; the ledger is now its durable
  home once the spec is removed.
- [low -> fixed] crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs: --cost-per-trade now rejects negatives
  at parse, symmetric with --slip-vol-mult (it previously deferred to the node
  assert's panic). Run-path tests + the no-cost golden stay green.

Carry-on (documented deferrals, not this cycle's debt to fix):
- The 3-field cost triple {cost_in_r, cum_cost_in_r, open_cost_in_r} is restated
  by-convention across ConstantCost, VolSlippageCost, and CostSum (compiler-unlinked
  lockstep) — to be unified by the general CostNode trait, now justified by two
  concrete nodes (#148).
- SLIP_VOL_LENGTH=5 is sized to warm within the synthetic smoke fixture; documented
  in the const doc (on real M1 data any reasonable window warms).
- A future per-cycle-held accrual (carry/funding) accrues over holding duration,
  which will force a summarize_r fold change and stress the positional seam — flagged
  for that deferred cycle.

Regression gate green and unchanged: full workspace suite 0-fail, clippy --workspace
--all-targets -D warnings clean. No baseline moved -> no ratify.

Spec + plan ephemera removed (git rm docs/specs/0082, docs/plans/0082).

Brummel e82725f2d7 audit(0081): cycle close — drift-clean (code); ledger C10 realization note + stale-broker doc sync (refs #148)
Cycle 0081 (cost-model graph, cycle 1) closes drift-clean against C10: the
architect review confirmed ConstantCost + the net-R seam realize the contract
at its floor (C9 cost node; net_r_equity a C8/C18 sink; R-pure; one home for
cost, subsuming the retired scalar round_trip_cost; pure feed-forward C1), and
the no-cost baseline is byte-identical (C18 golden held). Regression gate green
and unchanged: full workspace suite 0-fail, clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean. No baseline moved -> no ratify.

Ledger sync (docs/design/INDEX.md): added the C10 cycle-0081 realization note
(ConstantCost node + net_r_equity seam shipped; scalar round_trip_cost retired;
run-path-scoped; later-cycle deferrals named).

Drift swept (cycle-adjacent + cheap one-liners):
- crates/aura-analysis/src/lib.rs net_expectancy_r doc: the removed in-fold
  mechanic (mean(R - round_trip_cost/latched_dist)) -> the cost-stream fold.
- crates/aura-std/src/lib.rs module doc: "realistic broker profiles" (retired
  by #116) -> the legacy SimBroker pip yardstick + cost-model nodes.

Backlogged (pre-existing, broader, predates this cycle): the
docs/project-layout.md backtest worked example is stale on #117 (exposure->bias)
and #116 (realistic broker); a proper rewrite is filed as #151, not folded here.

Architect-accepted: the #[allow(dead_code)] on r_col::ENTRY_PRICE/STOP_PRICE
(their production reader legitimately removed when summarize_r stopped recovering
latched_dist; still the layout contract + exercised by test fixtures).

Spec + plan ephemera removed (git rm docs/specs/0081, docs/plans/0081).

Follows the C10 rework (29cdc8c). C15: the deploy-grade geometry fields now defer
to the cost model's currency→R normalization / the live deploy edge, not the
retired Stage-2 realistic broker. Glossary: "realistic broker" and "Stage 1 /
Stage 2" marked superseded (kept as history); bias/broker/equity-stream/position-

Brummel 29cdc8c218 design(C10): retire the realistic broker — cost is a cost-model graph in R (gross→net), money to the live deploy edge (refs #116)
Reworks the C10 contract per a ratified in-context design discussion (#116). The
historical "realistic broker" with authored frictions is retired as
horseshoe-throwing: real friction (slippage, swaps, spread) is not historically
knowable; the only reliable friction is measured forward against a real broker.

In its place:
- Cost is a composable C9 graph of cost nodes, in R, that approximates (never
  claims) realism — generalizing/subsuming the scalar round_trip_cost. Output is
  a net-R equity curve (gross R = signal, net R = after cost).
- Research is pure feed-forward: the Sizer and compounding leave the loop; the
  z^-1 fill-edge register and the flat-1R-vs-compounding structural axis are gone.
  Compounding/Kelly/drawdown are post-hoc transforms at the deploy/account layer.
- Executor = stop-rule + position-management in R. size/volume is a deploy
  concept; the position-event table is demoted to a deploy/reconciliation artifact.
- Conviction-based risk allocation survives as an R-aggregation axis (flat vs
  |bias|-weighted), distinct from the removed money-Sizer.
- Money, a real broker, and cTrader Open API are a separate, later live/deploy
  edge (C11 record-then-replay; C13 frozen deploy) — the only ground truth.

Stage-1 R realizations preserved as history; the #117 reframe's R spine survives,
its Stage-2/currency/register/compounding portions superseded.

Brummel 226bf57130 audit(0080): cycle close — drift-clean; ledger sync (selection types relocated, registry-vocab decision recorded) (refs #136)
Cycle 0080 was a 44-line behaviour-preserving re-export relocation along the
exact engine↔domain seam the 0079 architect review just blessed, so the drift
review is carried from 0079 rather than re-dispatched; the only drift introduced
is the ledger note, synced here. Regression gate green and unchanged: full suite
665/0 (incl. the C18 goldens), clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings
clean.

Ledger sync (docs/design/INDEX.md): added a cycle-0080 realization note —
FamilySelection/SelectionMode are now in aura-analysis (engine-side extraction
complete); recorded the user-ratified decision that the aura-registry
Metric/metric_cmp/deflation vocabulary stays in the registry by design (it is
the trading selection layer, its deflation statistics branch irreducibly on
metric identity, and genericity would be a one-implementor abstraction); and
that making RunReport generic / a domain-agnostic orchestration substrate is
deferred to the World/C21 layer, explicitly out of #136.

No baseline moved (the suite is the regression gate; green-unchanged), so no
ratify statement. No spec/plan ephemera to drop.

Brummel a8f67c7c80 audit(0079): cycle close — drift-clean; ledger crate-topology sync + serde_json dev-dep tightening (refs #136)
Architect drift review (3e8fd73..HEAD): the extraction is faithful and
behaviour-preserving — every moved symbol's definition left report.rs, 35 unit
tests relocated with their subject, aura-engine/src/lib.rs byte-unchanged, the
four downstream crates byte-unchanged. No code defect. Regression gate green:
cargo build/test --workspace = 665 passed / 0 failed (incl. the C18 cli_run
goldens and the registry legacy-line loads); clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean.

Ledger sync (docs/design/INDEX.md) — pre-existing crate-topology drift the
extraction made visible:
- C10 notes (cycles 0063/0068) placed PositionAction / PositionEvent /
  derive_position_events "in aura-engine beside RunMetrics / summarize_r";
  cycle 0079 moved all of them to aura-analysis — corrected, with a forward
  pointer to the new C16 note.
- C10 cycle-0065 note claimed "RiskExecutor ships as a public aura-engine
  composite-builder" and "Composites live in aura-engine ... aura-engine ->
  aura-std a normal dependency"; both stale — composites live in
  aura-composites and aura-std is now an aura-engine [dev-dependencies] only.
  Corrected.
- Added a C16 realization note recording the aura-analysis extraction as an
  architecture fact: the engine<->domain seam, the current five non-node
  workspace crates, and the deferred #136 generic-over-M tail.

serde_json moved from [dependencies] to [dev-dependencies] in aura-analysis
(architect debt item): the production types derive serde, but JSON rendering
lives in aura-engine's RunReport::to_json, so serde_json is test-only here and
must not enter the frozen artifact's library link (C16 frozen-artifact
scrutiny). Build + the 35 crate tests stay green after the move.

No baseline moved (the suite is the regression gate; it stayed green), so no
ratify statement. No spec/plan ephemera to drop (compiler-driven / agent-driven
cycle — no docs/specs or docs/plans files were created).

Brummel 3e8fd73f68 tidy: clear the milestone fieldtest findings (refusal reasons, --help, ledger + glossary)
Resolves the four non-bug findings from the inferential-validation milestone
fieldtest (the bug — the broken-pipe panic — is fixed in 1088320):
- [friction] generalize refusals now carry a reason instead of a bare usage dump:
  <2 instruments, a multi-value candidate flag, a missing knob, a duplicate
  symbol, and a non-stage1-r strategy each get a one-line why (mirroring the
  R-only metric refusal). Two parser tests strengthened to pin the message.
- [friction] --select <argmax|plateau:mean|plateau:worst> added to the
  walkforward branch of the global USAGE (aura --help) — the plateau objective
  was undiscoverable from the only help the CLI prints (the per-subcommand usage
  already carried it).
- [spec_gap] C1 gains a scope note: bit-identity is per-run; a derived metric
  recomputed by two different command paths may differ by floating-point
  reassociation (<=1 ULP), which is not a C1 violation — ratifies the
  fieldtester's reading of the sweep-vs-generalize sqn difference.
- [spec_gap] the milestone vocabulary is added to docs/glossary.md:
  cross-instrument generalization, deflated score, overfit probability,
  neighbourhood score, plateau selection, sign-agreement, worst-case floor.

The fieldtest triage spec (docs/specs/fieldtest-*) is removed now its findings
are resolved; the tracked fieldtests/ scenario corpus stays.

Verified: cargo test --workspace green (0 failed), clippy --workspace
--all-targets -D warnings clean; `aura --help` shows --select; the refusals
print their reason.

Brummel 15f5c0bc99 audit(0078): cycle close — drift addressed; ledger inferential-thread synced (milestone complete) + C12/C18 realization; drop ephemera
Architect drift review (d50a482..feat): drift_found — documentation only,
NO contract violation. C1/C9/C10/C23 verified preserved against the diff:
`generalization` is a pure deterministic fold (registry-side, C9; R-only,
C10); the sole `instrument = Some` production site is `run_generalize`, every
other manifest constructor threads `None` + `skip_serializing_if`, so
sweep/mc/walkforward/standalone manifest bytes are byte-identical (C23); the
compat read-mirror was threaded in lockstep.

Drift fixed in this commit (ledger sync, docs/design/INDEX.md):
- The inferential-honesty thread read "now two of three pieces built" / "#146
  remains the last open piece" — false now that #146 landed. Updated to record
  the inferential half as structurally complete (all three built, cycle 0078)
  + the #146 realization, including the aggregator/validator-vs-selector
  distinction (#146 is a recomputable aggregate, not a FamilySelection
  annotation).
- C18 realization block: added the cycle-0078 note — the comparison axis (C12)
  realized as FamilyKind::CrossInstrument + the first-class RunManifest.instrument
  lineage field.

Regression: no regression scripts configured (project facts name only
Build/Test/Lint/Doc); architect is the gate. cargo test --workspace green
(0 failed) and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean,
orchestrator-verified.

Brummel d50a4828ad audit(0077): cycle close — drift addressed; legacy-load fixture + ledger sync; drop ephemera
Architect drift review over 9c6b9c7..cb32658 returned drift_found (3 items);
all resolved here. What holds (architect): C23 default-argmax byte-identical,
C9 separation (selector in aura-registry, walk_forward selection-agnostic),
C1/C2 (plateau pure/deterministic/in-sample), one higher_is_better direction
source.

Resolutions:
- [medium] Backfilled the pre-0077 FamilySelection legacy-load fixture
  (report.rs family_selection_loads_a_pre_0077_legacy_line). The feat commit
  and the struct doc-comment claimed "a legacy line still loads (C14/C18)" as
  landed, but no test pinned the field-level mapping: bare deflation scalars ->
  Some(...), absent plateau keys -> None. families.jsonl/runs.jsonl are
  append-only, so a winner stamped pre-0077 must read back; now pinned.
- [low] Synced the ledger's inferential-validation open thread
  (docs/design/INDEX.md): #145 plateau-over-peak landed (cycle 0077), selection
  is now a pluggable objective (bare argmax -> trials-deflated -> plateau) on
  the manifest carrier; only #146 (cross-instrument generalization) remains of
  the milestone's three pieces.
- [medium-high] Removed the cycle ephemera (git rm docs/specs/0077-*,
  docs/plans/0077-*) per the cycle-close convention.

Regression: full workspace suite green and clippy --all-targets -D warnings
clean (verified at feat-review time). No baseline scripts configured; the test
+ clippy gates are the regression gate. Cycle 0077 tidy (clean) — drift-clean,
not a milestone close (the milestone fieldtest is a separate deliberate gate).

ledger or hot-path contract crossed. C23-additive, C1-deterministic, C14/C18
back-compat all verified green (full workspace suite + clippy). No regression
scripts configured (test+clippy are the gate).

Resolution:
- [medium] three spec-promised optimize_deflated tests were missing (the
  centring control, the all-noise high-p companion, the C2 IS-only read) — the
  centring was unprotected ("removing it would pass every test"). Plus an
  unguarded dispersion-floor sign assumption. FIXED in 0076.tidy (ecc9541).
- [low, RATIFY] the ledger's "Open architectural threads" inferential entry was
  stale on one fact (it described optimize as having no trials penalty). Synced:
  it now records that #144's trials-deflation landed this cycle (additive
  optimize_deflated, winner unchanged — C23; optimize/rank_by stay bare argmax),
  that #139's per-candidate OOS bootstrap landed in 0075, and that #145/#146
  remain open. This ratifies the cycle-0076 intent; the gap description is
  preserved for the still-open default-ranker path.

reload-time recompute of the R-arm statistic, deflated-score re-ranking, CLI

Brummel 7e4b91ab5f feat(0074): source real-path pip from the geometry sidecar; drop the authored floor
The data-server now ships per-symbol geometry sidecars, so aura no longer
hard-codes instrument geometry. A consumption grep showed production reads
exactly one `InstrumentSpec` field — `pip_size` — at the real-data path; the
other eight (incl. `instrument_id`) were constructed but never read.

- aura-cli resolves the real-path pip from the recorded sidecar
  (`instrument_geometry` -> `InstrumentGeometry.pip_size`), refusing (exit 2)
  on absent geometry. The authored table no longer gates: any symbol with a
  sidecar + bars now runs (new test: USDJPY, never vetted, resolves its JPY
  pip 0.01 from the sidecar).
- Removed the redundant authored floor: `InstrumentSpec`, `instrument_spec`,
  `VETTED_SYMBOLS`, and the table-only tests. The `InstrumentGeometry` seam
  (the surviving pip source) and its nameability guard are kept.
- `instrument_id` (the "find out"): no production consumer. The position-event
  table's `instrument_id` is a decoupled caller parameter; the engine never
  imports an instrument spec. Dropped with the struct.
- The example `pip_size_of` is re-sourced to the sidecar; the pure-structural
  blueprint tests use a literal pip to stay archive-independent.

Speculative deploy-grade fields and the #124 override/floor tiers are deferred
to the Stage-2 broker that will consume them, read from the sidecar geometry
then. Ledger (C8/C15/#22/#106) updated; #124 collapses to "recorded sidecar
geometry -> refuse" in the meantime.

Verified: cargo test --workspace (all green), clippy -D warnings clean, cargo
doc clean, with the local archive present so the sidecar paths run.

Brummel dda20abc28 audit(0073): cycle close — lift tier-2 geometry to ledger, finish VETTED_SYMBOLS, drop ephemera
Cycle-close audit: drift-clean on all load-bearing invariants (C7/C8/C15 hold; geometry stays non-scalar metadata, the Source seam still carries only (Timestamp, Scalar); scope boundary held — no resolver, quote_currency still &'static str, both #124's).

Tidy: completed the VETTED_SYMBOLS consolidation the feat commit over-claimed — migrated the two remaining inline vetted-symbol arrays in the crate-internal unit tests (instrument_spec_pip_value_matches_contract_times_pip, instrument_spec_ids_are_distinct) to the const, so #140 now extends one list.

Ledger: lifted this cycle's durable rationale into the C15 realization note (docs/design/INDEX.md) — the floor now carries tick_size/digits, and the recorded-metadata tier-2 source (instrument_geometry over symbol_meta -> neutral InstrumentGeometry, cross-checked against the authored floor) now exists at the ingestion edge; the tier-composing resolver remains #124.

Brummel ffd18b98ea audit(0070): cycle close — lift finalize lifecycle to ledger C8, drop ephemera
Cycle 0070 (streaming sink reductions, #138) close. Durable rationale lifted to
the ledger: C8 now records the end-of-stream `finalize` lifecycle (the second node
phase beside `eval`), its `Harness::run` topo-order epilogue, and its C1/C7/C8
reconciliation — with the open `Recorder`->`Probe` / per-cycle-allocation question
(#77) cross-referenced, since `finalize` is the "non-channel exit" that issue's
accumulate-then-read option named as missing. The per-cycle spec and plan are
git-rm'd (ephemeral, valid only for their cycle).

Audit (architect) found no invariant breakage; noted debt, left as-is: the
two-mode `stage1_r_graph` (reduce vs raw sink wiring) rests on the CLI-seam
equivalence test rather than structural unification, and `SeriesReducer.last_ts`
carries the last *warm* cycle's ts (latent only if `--trace` ever folds).

Architect audit clean (no drift): the derive is the faithful C10 book

exposure delta (the exact inversion of the abandoned 0064 exposure-integral);
post-run reduction, no in-graph node (C14), positional type-erased Scalar reads
(C7), each event's event_ts is its own cycle (C2), the >1-event-per-instant
reversal case is why it is derived not per-eval (C8/C10); aura-engine -> aura-core
only (instrument_id a caller scalar, no InstrumentSpec import).

- Ledger C10: add a "Realization (cycle 0068, #115)" note — derive_position_events
  as the first difference of the executed book, the post-reframe replacement for
  the rolled-back 0064 derive; fixed-fractional / currency / equity-feedback
  sizing and the realistic brokers stay #116.
- Remove the ephemeral spec + plan (cycle closed; rationale in the ledger + git
  history).

Accepted low debt (architect [low]): the stop-then-same-cycle-reopen producer path
emits the same closed&&open shape as a bias-flip reversal and the derive handles it
correctly (it keys on closed/open/direction/size, not exit_reason; unit-covered via
the reversal test), but is not separately asserted end-to-end. Cosmetic; the derive
is producer-agnostic.

Brummel 458b2ae74b audit(0067): cycle close — lift SQN100 / stage1-r-trace rationale to ledger, drop ephemera
Architect audit clean (no drift, no debt): raw sqn verified bit-identical,
C18 serde back-compat + C4 SoA seam + C1 determinism + Part-B symmetry all hold.

- Ledger C10: add a "Realization (cycle 0067, #130 + #135)" note — SQN100 as
  the turnover-robust opt-in rank key (raw sqn / default ranker byte-unchanged,
  serde(default) for back-compat), and per-member --trace now symmetric across
  all three sweep strategies via the shared persist_traces_r.
- Glossary: R-metrics list gains sqn_normalized; the SQN entry documents the
  SQN100 variant (was "deferred #130").
- Remove the ephemeral spec + plan (cycle closed; rationale lives in the ledger
  and git history).
