feat(aura-engine): name the composite boundary — input roles + param aliases
Brings the other two composite-boundary edge-kinds to the named-projection shape #40 gave outputs. input_roles changes from a bare Vec<Vec<Target>> to Vec<Role { name, targets }> (rendered [in:<name>]); a composite gains params: Vec<ParamAlias { name, node, slot }> that relabels an interior leaf param slot's surface name in param_space() (rendered [param:<name>]). Param aliasing is a PURE NAMING OVERLAY, not curation (the load-bearing decision, per spec 0019): every interior param slot stays in param_space() and sweepable; the alias only relabels in place, never reorders or hides. Proven empirically — the MACD run is byte-identical (total_pips 0.1637945563898923, 3 sign flips), only the param labels improved: param_space() now surfaces [macd.fast, macd.slow, macd.signal] instead of three indistinguishable macd.length, and the manifest reads ema_fast/ ema_slow/ema_signal. C23 honoured: role/param/output names are non-load-bearing debug symbols dropped at lowering; identity is positional (role index, param slot, output field). compiled_view_golden is byte-identical (verified: the golden region is untouched in the diff). An out-of-range alias (missing/ non-leaf node or slot past the leaf's param count) is rejected at compile_with_params as BadInteriorIndex, mirroring the output range-check (no new variant). Orthogonal to #36 — purely additive at the composite level. Aliasing is demonstrated on the CLI MACD site only (the spec's worked example + a new E2E test macd_param_space_surfaces_the_three_named_aliases); sma_cross, the engine test fixtures, and the construction-layer fieldtests get the forced role-name + empty params, so the param_space C23 anchor goldens (param_space_mirrors_compiled_flat_node_param_order + siblings) stay byte-identical. Verification (orchestrator-run, not trusted from the agent report): cargo build/test/clippy --workspace -D warnings all green (engine 66, cli 12); the separate-workspace construction-layer fieldtest crate builds (guards the #42 latent-drift recurrence); compiled_view_golden + MACD determinism unchanged. Two faithful repairs to the plan's literal test/code bodies, no semantic change: the out-of-range test uses .err()/Some(BadInteriorIndex) (the Ok arm Vec<Box<dyn Node>> is not Debug, so .unwrap_err() would not compile), and the inline_composite destructure binds params as `param_aliases` to avoid shadowing the injected `params: &[Scalar]` arg. closes #41 |

audit: cycle 0018 (#40) — drift-clean; C9 multi-output realization note
Architect drift review over a4cfe5c..HEAD (covers the previously-unaudited EMA node and MACD PoC plus the #40 composite multi-output cycle): status clean. C8/C7/C4 preserved (one port, one row per eval, K co-fresh base columns — structurally identical to OHLCV); C23 honoured (ItemLowering:: Composite.output is Vec<(usize,usize)>, no name in the compilat; the compiled-view render stayed bit-identical). EMA and MACD PoC carry no ledger drift. Resolution of the three minors: - Ledger lagged the new behaviour: added a "Realization (cycle 0018)" note under C9 recording that a composite's output is now a named K-field record (Vec<OutField>), the same arity C8 already grants a leaf, names dropped at lowering (C23). Amended here (ledger amendment is the audit's job). - blueprint.rs module-doc / Composite struct-doc / new-doc still said "one output port" singular — updated to "output record". - Non-workspace fieldtest From<Sma> debt is pre-existing (cycle-0016) and already tracked as #42; not re-filed. No regression scripts configured (profile regression: []), so the architect review is the sole gate. Carry-on: the next natural iteration is the #41 legibility sibling (input-role + param naming at the composite boundary). |

feat(aura-engine): composite output is a named multi-field record
Replace a composite's single output port (OutPort { node, field }) with
an ordered, named record (Vec<OutField { node, field, name }>). A
composite can now re-export K interior fields as one output; a consumer
selects one via the existing Edge::from_field — the same field-wise
selector that already works for multi-output leaf producers (OHLCV).
Why: multi-line indicators (MACD, Bollinger, Stochastic, Ichimoku) could
not be authored as a composition and re-exported as a unit — only one
line escaped the boundary. The MACD PoC was forced to expose only the
histogram. This lifts the three `field == 0` / `from_field == 0` caps at
the composite boundary (inline_composite nested arm, rewrite_edge
composite arm), range-checking the index instead.
Boundary completion, not an invariant change:
- C8/C7/C4 untouched — one port, one row per eval, K base columns (a
3-line MACD is identical in kind to OHLCV).
- C23 honoured — re-export names live at the blueprint boundary only and
are dropped in the compilat (raw index wiring). compiled_view_golden
stayed byte-identical (the regression guard): no name leaked into the
flat graph.
The MACD PoC now re-exports macd / signal / histogram as a record; the
strategy still trades the histogram, selected via from_field: 2. The
render shows K [out:<name>] markers per multi-output composite (input
roles stay [in:<index>] — naming them is the dependent #41).
Output naming ships with the capability (OutField is born name-ready) so
#41 — composite param aliasing + input-role naming — does not reopen the
type.
Verification: cargo build/test/clippy --workspace -- -D warnings all
green; aura-engine 62 tests (+3 capability, +1 through-run E2E), aura-cli
unchanged-count green; compiled_view_golden byte-identical.
Known debt (out of scope, pre-existing): the non-workspace construction-
layer fieldtests (fieldtests/milestone-construction-layer/mc_1..mc_4)
carry their OutField sweep but still do not compile standalone — they use
the Sma::new / BlueprintNode::from(Sma) API retired in the cycle-0016
value-empty migration, never propagated to these fixtures. Tracked as a
follow-up.

feat(aura-core,aura-std,aura-engine,aura-cli): inject a param-set vector at bootstrap (#31)
Cycle B of milestone "The World — parameter-space & sweep". A blueprint is now value-empty: a leaf holds a param-generic recipe, not a built node, and a positional Scalar vector is bound slot-by-slot at bootstrap — so one blueprint bootstraps into many distinct instances under different vectors, with no cdylib rebuild (C12/C19). This is the binding primitive a sweep (#32) drives. Ratified design (brainstorm): value-empty reconstruct-through-new() over mutate-in-place and over a default-bearing variant. The value lives only in the injected vector (no baked default), keeping the blueprint a pure param-generic recipe (C19); every injected value flows through the node's own constructor (the single sizing/validation gate). - aura-core: LeafFactory { name, params, build } — the recipe (params -> sized node through `new`); Scalar::as_i64/as_f64 value accessors. Node trait unchanged. - aura-std: each of the 7 nodes exposes factory() (SMA length:I64, Exposure scale:F64, LinComb arity x weights[i]:F64; Sub/Add/SimBroker/Recorder paramless, capturing their non-param construction args — pip_size, the Recorder channel). - aura-engine: BlueprintNode::Leaf(LeafFactory), From<LeafFactory>; param_space() reads factory.params() pre-build; compile_with_params/bootstrap_with_params build each leaf from its kind-checked slice while lowering (build-then-wire), arity checked up front via param_space().len(); CompileError::{ParamKindMismatch, ParamArity}. compile/inline/edge-rewrite are structurally unchanged, so the compilat stays bit-identical for a given point (the bit-identity and both param_space mirror tests stay green). The vestigial pre-build Composite::schema / BlueprintNode::schema (no live caller — interface resolution is structural on the built flat nodes) are removed. - aura-cli: the blueprint view labels leaves by bare type via LeafFactory::label() (`[SMA]`) — the ascii-dag renderer cannot render wide cluster-sibling labels (see spec); the compiled view still labels valued (`SMA(2)`). The sample supplies its point as a vector; the mis-wiring swap moved to the compiled view. The #34 dual-traversal drift hazard is subsumed: compile_with_params consumes the vector in the same recipe walk param_space() reports, so the two share one traversal. Verified: cargo build/test --workspace green (127 tests, incl. bit-identity, both mirror tests, and 4 new injection tests — different-vector-different-run, kind mismatch, arity, determinism); clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; `aura graph` blueprint view renders cleanly. Scope: one vector -> one instance. Deferred: sweep enumeration (#32), domain validation (#32/C20), single-run authoring convenience (#35). closes #31 |

test(aura-engine): mirror param_space against compile() under nesting (#34)
The cycle-0015 E2E guard param_space_mirrors_compiled_flat_node_param_order pins the load-bearing C23/#31 invariant — Blueprint::param_space() slot order mirrors compile()'s flat-node param order kind-by-slot — but only on the single-level composite_sma_cross_harness. collect_params (blueprint.rs:217) duplicates lower_items' depth-first traversal rather than sharing it (kept a parallel read-only projection so compile/inline_composite stay untouched and the compilat bit-identical, C9/C23), so the two orders must stay in lockstep forever. No mirror test ever compiled a composite-inside-a-composite: a future inliner reorder that desynced the projections only under nesting could pass the single-level mirror and the isolated nested param_space order test, yet break the slot-by-slot premise #31's binding rests on. Adds param_space_mirrors_compiled_flat_node_param_order_under_nesting: compiles a strategy -> { fast_slow -> [Sma, Sma, Sub], LinComb } nest and asserts param_space() equals the compiled flat-node param order kind-by-slot, pinning the concrete [I64, I64, F64, F64] shape. Green immediately — coverage-hardening, no desync in the current tree. Test-only; collect_params/lower_items/compile untouched. Verified: cargo test -p aura-engine green (55 tests), clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean. closes #34 |

feat(aura-core,aura-std,aura-engine): declare node tunable params (#30)
Cycle A of milestone 'The World — parameter-space & sweep'. A node now declares its tunable parameters in its C8 schema, and a blueprint aggregates them into one flat, inspectable param-space — the root that unlocks the C12 orchestration axes (#31 bind, #32 sweep), filling the gap C8/C23 name 'deliberately not in the schema yet'. - aura-core: ParamSpec { name: String, kind: ScalarKind } as a third schema- declaration type; NodeSchema gains a third field 'params'. name is String (not &'static like FieldSpec) because a vector knob carries a runtime index and aggregation prefixes the composite path. - aura-std: Sma declares [length:I64], Exposure [scale:F64], LinComb expands to N flat [weights[i]:F64] (N = its input arity, topology-fixed per C19); Sub/Add/ SimBroker/Recorder declare none (pip_size is metadata, C10/C15; Recorder is wiring). - aura-engine: Blueprint::param_space() walks the graph-as-data depth-first in lower_items order, path-qualifying via the already-public Composite::name() — a read-only projection (C9). compile/inline_composite/lower_items are untouched, so the compilat stays bit-identical (composite_sma_cross_runs_bit_identical_to_hand_wired and the golden render tests stay green). Design: param identity is positional (slot after the deterministic inline order, C23 'by index not name'); the path-qualified name is a non-load-bearing debug symbol — same-type siblings in one composite share a name, uniqueness is at the slot. Flat over a structured arity-bearing ParamSpec because flattening is unavoidable (a sweep enumerates a flat point-space) and structure-in-the-runtime is the nested-composite reading C23 rejects (see spec 0015 for the full rationale). Scope is declaration + aggregation + inspection only; binding (#31), sweep enumeration (#32), search-range, validity-constraint, and default-range/slider are deferred. An E2E test pins the load-bearing C23/#31 invariant: param_space() slot order mirrors compile()'s flat-node param order, kind-by-slot, on the SMA-cross harness. fieldtests/ (excluded crates) left as frozen snapshots. Verified: cargo build/test --workspace green (64 tests), clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; compile/inline diff empty. closes #30 |

tidy(aura-engine): re-export scalar vocab (#29) + drop duplicate Recorder fixtures (#14)
Two behaviour-preserving tidies from the post-0013 fieldtest/backlog. #29: aura-engine re-exports Firing/Scalar/ScalarKind/Timestamp at the crate root. A Blueprint builder needs ScalarKind for SourceSpec.kind and Scalar/ Firing/Timestamp for sources & Recorder columns, but aura-engine previously re-exported only the wiring types — forcing a second aura-core import for the vocabulary its own public structs (SourceSpec.kind, ...) demand. The fieldtest flagged this paper cut (mc_4). One import surface now. Guarded by a new reexport_tests module. #14: the two near-identical #[cfg(test)] Recorder fixtures in report.rs and harness.rs are deleted in favour of the shipped aura-std::Recorder (already a dev-dependency). Constructor signature, schema, and try_iter() drain are identical, so no call site changed — only the struct/impl deletion plus adding Recorder to each file's existing aura_std import. report.rs additionally drops four imports (Ctx/InputSpec/Node/NodeSchema) that only the deleted fixture used. The separate TapForward fixture in harness.rs is untouched. Verified: cargo build/test/clippy --workspace all green (49 aura-engine lib tests incl. the new one); bit-identical, golden-snapshot, SMA-disambiguation, and mixed-kind recording tests all stay green — behaviour preserved. closes #29 closes #14 |

feat(aura-cli): aura graph renders a wired graph as an ASCII DAG (#13)
Make a wired graph introspectable so a mis-wiring becomes visible. Two
selectable views, both authored from one built-in sample blueprint:
aura graph clustered blueprint view — composites drawn as named
ascii-dag cluster boxes (pre-inline, C9)
aura graph --compiled flat compilat view — composite boundaries dissolved
(C23); the graph the run loop actually runs
The payoff is intrinsic, param-carrying node labels: two SMAs read SMA(2) /
SMA(4), so a swapped fast/slow input reads back differently. This is realized
by a `label()` default method on the core Node trait — a non-load-bearing
render symbol the run loop never reads (wiring is by index), the symbol C23
already reserves citing #13. Recorded as a C8 refinement in the ledger.
Rejected the alternatives in brainstorm: a separate Describe trait (forces a
combined trait-object dance for a label the ledger calls non-load-bearing) and
extrinsic parallel labels (decoupled from the node, so an author can label the
slow SMA "fast" and mask the very bug the render exists to surface).
Mechanism:
- aura-core: Node::label() default method (additive, object-safe, single-line).
- aura-std: per-node overrides — SMA(n)/Exposure(s)/SimBroker(p) carry params;
Sub/Add/LinComb/Recorder are bare (their identity is not a mis-wiring axis).
- aura-engine: Composite gains an authored `name` (cluster title; dissolves at
inline) + read-only graph-as-data accessors on Blueprint/Composite. No
external dependency — the engine stays dependency-pure (C16); ascii-dag lives
only in aura-cli. The label-free index-wired compilat (C23) is unchanged.
- aura-cli: ascii-dag v0.9.1 + a graph.rs adapter (Vertical mode; labels
materialized into an owned Vec<String> that outlives the borrow-based Graph).
`aura run` is untouched (the sample duplication is dedup idea #14).
Tests: a concern-defining test (swapped sample renders != correct), structure
pins (cluster present in blueprint view, absent in compiled view), per-node
label disambiguation, and two frozen byte-goldens of the deterministic render.
The cycle-0012 bit-identical and run-sample non-regression tests stay green.
Verified by the orchestrator (not the agent report): cargo build --workspace
clean; cargo test --workspace all green; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean; both views run live and render as expected.

feat(aura-engine): blueprint construction layer with composite inlining
Add the construction layer (C9/C19/C23): a named, param-generic graph-as-data (`Blueprint`) that *compiles* to the flat, type-erased instance the run loop already runs. The unit of reuse is the `Composite` — a nestable sub-graph fragment exposing one output port (C8) and named input roles — which `Blueprint::compile()` **inlines** by raw-index lowering into the flat `(nodes, sources, edges)` the unchanged `Harness::bootstrap` consumes. Design (settled in spec 0012, ledger C9/C19/C23): a composite is an authoring-level node, NOT a runtime `Box<dyn Node>` sub-engine. The chosen inlining approach keeps the sacrosanct deterministic run loop untouched and leaves the composite interior fully inspectable for the deferred cross-graph optimiser; the rejected "runtime sub-engine" reading would have put throwaway complexity into the run loop and kept the interior opaque. The compilat is wired by raw index, not by name; names survive only as non-load-bearing debug symbols (as `FieldSpec.name` already is). Lowering is recursive index rewriting: interior items append at an offset, interior edges rewrite by that offset, an edge into a composite fans through its input roles (one blueprint edge -> several flat edges), an edge out resolves to the interior output port, and nesting recurses inside-out. Construction-phase faults are caught as a typed `CompileError` (BadInteriorIndex / RoleKindMismatch / OutputPortOutOfRange); the lowered flat compilat is validated by bootstrap's existing kind- and Kahn-cycle-check (wrapped as `CompileError::Bootstrap`), with no re-implementation. Non-goals (deferred per C23/C16): no optimisation pass (CSE/DCE, sweep-invariant hoisting), no external optimisation crate, no named-handle ergonomic wiring, no `aura graph` render (#13). Verification: 48 engine tests green (8 blueprint: derived-schema, single + nested composite inlining, the three CompileError paths, bootstrap-error wrap, and the headline `composite_sma_cross_runs_bit_identical_to_hand_wired` C1 demonstrator — the SMA-cross composite lowers to a flat graph byte-identical to the hand-wired sample harness, producing bit-for-bit identical equity + exposure traces); `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings` clean. `Node`, `Harness::bootstrap`, the run loop, and `Edge`/`Target`/`SourceSpec` are unchanged. closes #12 |

docs(aura-engine): document to_json JSON schema + integer-token rendering
Resolves the two doc-level findings from the cycle-0009 fieldtest
(docs/specs/fieldtest-0009-run-metrics.md), both the same doc pass on
RunReport::to_json's rustdoc:
- spec_gap: the JSON key names and {manifest,metrics} nesting were not on the
public surface — a consumer parsing the JSON (the C18 registry, the deferred
aura run printer) could not author against it from rustdoc alone. Now stated:
keys mirror the struct field names in fixed order, window is a 2-element
[from,to] array, params is an insertion-order object, with a worked sample
object. Ratifies field-name-mirroring as the contract for the C14 face.
- friction: a whole-valued f64 renders without a fractional part (12.0 -> 12),
so one f64 field may appear as an integer or decimal token across runs. Now
documented, with the consumer guidance to parse as a number, never key off
token shape.
Doc-only change; no behaviour change. The sample is a `text` fence (not a
doctest). Verified: RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc -p aura-engine clean;
clippy -p aura-engine --all-targets -D warnings clean; doctests 0.

feat(aura-engine): run metrics + manifest report surface
Cycle 0009 (Walking skeleton milestone). A run's two C18 "from day one"
artefacts — a reproducible manifest and summary metrics — land as a new,
pure-additive `report` module in aura-engine:
- summarize(equity, exposure) -> RunMetrics: a post-run pure reduction over a
run's recorded pip-equity + exposure streams. total_pips (last cumulative
value), max_drawdown (worst running-peak-to-trough), exposure_sign_flips (a
turnover proxy: adjacent normalized-sign changes, flat distinct from
long/short via a three-way sign0). Total and pure: empty -> zeros, identical
inputs -> identical metrics (C1/C12).
- RunManifest: the reproducible descriptor (commit, params as name->value
pairs, data-window, seed, broker label). Caller-supplied — the engine cannot
introspect a git commit or seed. params is the honest precursor to the
deferred typed param-space (node.rs; 0008 audit).
- RunReport { manifest, metrics } + to_json(): canonical, hand-rolled JSON for
the structured C14 face.
- f64_field(rows, field): bridges a recording sink's Vec<Scalar> rows to
summarize; panics on a kind/width mismatch (a wiring bug), like the engine's
other "checked at wiring" violations.
Why post-run, not a node: a node emits one record per eval with no terminal
eval (C8), so an end-of-run reduction has no home as a node; the World drains
its cycle-0006 recording sinks after Harness::run and folds them here. Matches
C18's "store manifests + metrics, re-derive results on demand".
Why hand-rolled JSON, not serde: the workspace is deliberately zero-dependency
and the schema is tiny/closed/flat; serde is reconsidered when the run-registry
milestone grows the schema. (User-approved at spec review.)
Scope: the surface + a determinism end-to-end test reusing the cycle-0007
two-sink harness; the `aura run` subcommand that prints the report is #8. No
engine/Harness/node-contract change; workspace stays zero-dependency.
Verified: cargo test --workspace green (aura-engine 40, incl. 10 new report
tests); clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo

feat(aura-std): signal-quality loop — Exposure node + sim-optimal broker
Realizes the C10 reframe (cycle 0007): the strategy DAG's output is an
intent/exposure stream, and a sim-optimal broker integrates it into a synthetic
pip-equity curve that measures SIGNAL QUALITY — the project's first trading
result, and its primary research loop.
Two new aura-std nodes (plain structs; the engine stays domain-free):
- Exposure { scale }: the decision/sizing node — clamp(signal/scale, -1, +1),
one f64 exposure per fired cycle, None until warmed up. Sizing/risk live in
`scale`.
- SimBroker { pip_size }: class (a) of C10 — consumes exposure (slot 0) + price
(slot 1), integrates the return earned by the exposure HELD INTO each cycle
(prev_exposure, decided at t-1) so it is causal / look-ahead-free (C2), and
emits cumulative pips. pip_size is held reference metadata (C7/C15), never
streamed.
End-to-end proof in the aura-engine harness test module (it dev-depends on
aura-std): a SMA(2)-SMA(4) cross -> Exposure -> SimBroker -> Recorder sink wires
a full signal-quality backtest; the recorded equity matches a hand-computed pip
curve ([0,0,0,0, 0.035]) and is bit-identical across two runs (C1). The engine
itself is unchanged — pure node authoring on the frozen substrate.
Verified: cargo test --workspace green (20 core + 30 engine + 9 std; 8 new);
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; engine/core surface-purity grep (no
dyn Any/Rc/RefCell) clean.
Note: the plan inlined `Window::first()`, which aura-core's Window does not
expose; the shipped code uses the semantically identical `Window::get(0)`
(newest value, or 0.0 when the exposure leg is cold).

test: M×N×K stress matrix — node fan-out, deep chains, wide layers
The milestone's green end-to-end gate (#3): prove the closed bootstrap + run substrate carries arbitrary node-level fan-out / fan-in / depth / width DAGs deterministically (C1) and computes every recorded stream correctly. Closes the two coverage holes the engine tests left open after cycle 0006 — node fan-out (one PRODUCING node read by several consumers; prior coverage was source fan-out only) and deep-chain / wide-layer topologies. Six tests appended to harness.rs's test module, composing the existing Sma / Sub / Recorder / BarrierSum fixtures (no new fixtures, no aura-std surface — C9): - node_fan_out_identical_taps_record_identical_streams - node_fan_out_divergent_consumers_each_compute_their_own - node_fan_out_under_mixed_firing_each_consumer_records_per_policy - deep_transform_chain_propagates_end_to_end - wide_parallel_layer_multi_sink_records_each_stream - milestone_end_to_end_mixed_dag_records_every_stream_deterministically Each asserts exact (Timestamp, Vec<Scalar>) recorded values (hand-computed from the SMA/Sub + firing/warm-up semantics) AND determinism via a second fresh-harness drain proving bit-identical streams. 28 engine tests green (22 + 6), clippy -D warnings clean.

feat: recording is a node role, not a type (multi-sink substrate)
Replace the engine's single observe: usize recording affordance with recording-by-node, so one run records many streams. A recording node reads its typed input windows + ctx.now() in eval and pushes the record to a destination it holds as a field (a channel, a chart handle) — an out-of-graph side effect. There is no Sink type, trait, or engine flag: a pure-consumer node returns None, and a node may record AND return a forwarded output in the same eval (the C8 "both" case). In-graph routing stays engine-owned data (the edge table); the escape out of the graph is the node's own side effect, and that boundary is the determinism / graph-as-data boundary. Engine surface shrinks: Ctx gains now: Timestamp + now() (C2-causal, the present cycle's timestamp); Harness loses the observe field, its observe >= n bootstrap check, and the per-cycle observed-row collection; bootstrap drops its 4th param; run returns (). Recorded streams are now sparse and timestamped (a record per fired cycle) instead of the dense Vec<Option<row>>. The Ctx::new signature change touched 9 call sites across three crates (not the 3 the spec estimated) — aura-std's node tests and the engine run loop were threaded too. The engine test suite migrated to a test-local Recorder fixture whose read-back is an mpsc channel, never Rc/RefCell, keeping aura-engine/src purity-clean (C7). Eight new proof tests cover the multi-sink headline, producer-and-sink, mixed-kind recording, all-fields tap, both recorder firing modes, determinism, and recorder-edge kind rejection. C8/C22 gain cycle-0006 realization notes. Gates: workspace test 45 green (core 20, std 3, engine 22), clippy -D warnings clean, purity grep clean (only a comment names Rc/RefCell). closes #2 |

feat: node output is a record (composite stream), not a single scalar
Cycle 0005 (BLOCKER #1): a node's output generalizes from one scalar to a record of K >= 1 named base-scalar columns, with a scalar being the degenerate K = 1 case. A node keeps exactly one output port; its payload is now an ordered bundle of base columns (a composite stream, C7). This unblocks every multi-column producer the engine needs next -- OHLCV bars and, later, the C10 position-event table -- none of which could exist while a node emitted at most one column. Revises C8, sharpens C7 in the design ledger. Contract (aura-core): - `NodeSchema.output: ScalarKind` -> `Vec<FieldSpec>` (FieldSpec = { name: &'static str, kind }; the field position is what an Edge binds, the name is metadata for later sinks/playground, C18). - `Node::eval -> Option<Scalar>` -> `-> Option<&[Scalar]>`: a node fills a buffer it owns (sized once at construction) and returns a borrowed K-field row; `None` still means filter/not-warmed. This is the C7-faithful representation chosen with the user: zero per-cycle heap allocation on the forward path (rejected: Option<Vec<Scalar>> allocates per fire; an inline fixed [Scalar; N] bakes a width cap; engine-owned output columns invert the eval model). Scalar output is the degenerate 1-field record -- no separate scalar path. Field-wise binding (aura-engine): - `Edge` gains `from_field: usize` -- which producer column this edge forwards. Consuming a whole record is N edges; there is no "bind whole record" mechanism. - bootstrap kind-checks per field (`from.output.get(from_field)` -> BadIndex if out of range; `field.kind != slot.kind` -> KindMismatch). - the run loop copies a producer's returned row into one reused scratch buffer (resolving the borrow; no per-cycle alloc once warm) and scatters scratch[from_field] into each out-edge slot. `NodeBox.out_len` (set at bootstrap) backs a debug_assert on the returned row width. `run` returns `Vec<Option<Vec<Scalar>>>` (the observed node's full row per cycle -- a materialization-surface alloc, not the inter-node hot path). - the K fields of one record are co-fresh by construction (one eval, one timestamp), so C6 is untouched. aura-std: Sma/Sub migrate to the 1-field degenerate case (hold a [Scalar; 1] buffer; behaviour unchanged). Sub drops #[derive(Default)] (Scalar has no Default) for a manual Default. Proof (aura-engine tests, +5): an Ohlcv 5-field bundler fed by five timestamp-aligned barrier sources emits one complete bar per timestamp (ohlcv_bundles_five_field_record); a downstream Sub binds high(1)-low(2) field-wise, observed end-to-end + a determinism re-run (edge_binds_single_field_high_minus_low); a second consumer binds close(3)-open(0) on the same record (distinct_edges_read_distinct_fields); must-fail: bootstrap_rejects_from_field_out_of_range (BadIndex), bootstrap_rejects_per_field_kind_mismatch (a TwoField [f64,i64] producer, the i64 field into an f64 slot). All prior 0003/0004 tests adapted to from_field + the Vec return, expected vectors unchanged (scalar = 1-field record).

audit: cycle 0004 tidy — diamond-barrier test + ledger/glossary record-reality
Architect drift review over 02fe891..f37b2a3 (firing-policies-and-merge):
drift_found, all medium/low, no contract violation. Invariants hold: C1 (the
merge is a deterministic linear scan, strict < on (timestamp, source-index) gives
C4 tie-break by declaration order; only per-call allocs), C3 (one merge at
ingestion), C5/C6 (both rails proven with worked vectors; sample-and-hold falls
out of the push model), C7 (type-erased edges, no dyn-Any/Rc/RefCell — purity grep
clean). Resolved the 0003 forward-note: cycle_id is now a real read field (the
freshness epoch, fresh_at == cycle_id), not write-only.
Resolved [med] (test gap): the barrier's timestamp token was proven only for the
multi-source same-timestamp case; C6's within-source diamond rejoin (one source,
two unequal-latency paths rejoining at a barrier) was claimed by the spec but
untested. Added `within_source_diamond_rejoin_barrier_fires`
(source -> {SMA(2), SMA(4)} -> BarrierSum): once SMA(4) warms at cycle 4, both
paths emit each cycle at the same timestamp and the barrier fires
(15+13, 17+15, 19+17). The code was already correct — every push in a cycle
stamps last_ts = that cycle's timestamp (source pushes and produced-edge forwards
alike) — so this closes the coverage gap, not a bug.
Resolved [med] (glossary record-reality): the run-count entry claimed it "drives
freshness-gated recompute", now false — the engine's firing gate reads the
per-wiring-slot cycle epoch (fresh_at), not Column::run_count. Sharpened the entry
to record reality: run-count is the node-visible per-column push counter;
fresh_at is the engine's per-slot freshness epoch. Not redundant (different
levels); both are maintained consistently on every push.
Resolved [low] (ledger silent on the barrier token): added a C6 "Realization
(cycle 0004)" note recording the load-bearing decision — barrier token is the
timestamp not cycle_id (forced by C4's same-timestamp-tie rule), firing tagged
per input with Firing::{Any, Barrier(u8)}, a mode-A input being its own trivial
group (so "per input group" and the per-input tag coincide).
Carry-on forward notes (next-cycle owners, not fixes now):
- [low] cycle_id is materialized internally (the freshness epoch) but not yet
surfaced in run output (run returns Vec<Option<Scalar>>). Its first observable
consumer is a sink / clock node (C18) or a timestamped trace — materialize the
surfacing then.
- [low] all join fixtures declare lookback 1; a test guarding C8's "a node never
reads beyond its declared lookback" for a depth>1 join is still owed (the
substrate already enforces it via Window bounds, so this is confirmation, not a
hole).
Regression gate: profile regression list empty — architect is the sole gate, now
clean (31 tests: aura-core 19 + aura-std 3 + aura-engine 9; clippy -D warnings
clean; purity grep clean). Cycle 0004 is drift-clean. NOT a milestone close: the
walking-skeleton milestone still needs its end-to-end fieldtest (ingest -> signal
-> backtest -> position table -> broker -> pip-equity), of which this cycle
delivers the firing/merge layer.

feat(engine): firing policies A/B + the k-way ingestion merge
Cycle 0004: the reactive-semantics layer. The engine now merges multiple
timestamped sources into one chronological cycle stream (C3) and gates each
node's re-evaluation by a per-input firing policy (C5/C6) — both rails shipping
together, as the user required ("must sit right from the start").
- `Firing` (aura-core) — a per-input enum on `InputSpec`, where C8 places firing:
`Any` (mode A, fire-on-any-fresh + hold / as-of join) and `Barrier(u8)` (mode B,
all-fresh barrier / synchronizing join). Default-free; Sma/Sub declare
`Firing::Any`, so under a single source ticking every cycle their behavior is
unchanged (backward compatible — the 0003 fan-out/join DAG still emits
[None,None,None,2,2,2]).
- `SourceSpec` + the k-way merge (aura-engine) — `run` takes one
`(Timestamp, Scalar)` stream per source and merges them by (timestamp, source
index) (C4 ties by declaration order). One record = one cycle. This is the
permanent ingestion core; the Source trait + data-server IO (C3/C11) are a
later orthogonal cycle (the user scoped this cycle to the reactive semantics).
- Two read clocks, both load-bearing (resolves the 0003 audit's "0004 owns
cycle_id" with no write-only field): each push stamps the input slot with
`fresh_at` (the cycle_id — freshness epoch, C5: fresh iff fresh_at == cycle_id)
and `last_ts` (the data timestamp — barrier token, C6: a barrier group is
complete iff all members carry last_ts == T). The `fires()` predicate ORs the
groups; the ">=1 member fresh this cycle" clause is the once-per-timestamp
guard. Sample-and-hold falls out of the push model: a non-firing node pushes
nothing, so consumers keep seeing the held value via window[0].
Key design call, studied against RustAst (src/ast/rtl/streams/): the barrier
token is the data *timestamp*, not cycle_id. RustAst's
last_cycle_per_input.all(== cycle_id) synchronizes one source's fan-out but
cannot synchronize independent sources — under C4 four same-timestamp sources
are four different cycle_ids, so the cycle_id barrier never fires for C6's own
OHLC example. Substituting timestamp is the minimal faithful generalization
(fires both the diamond rejoin and the multi-source bar). Mode A and the k-way
merge are both new (RustAst had neither); RustAst's total_count push counter is
aura's already-built Column::run_count.
Both rails proven on identical sources, firing-only difference:
- mode A (AsOfSum): [None,None,120,130,140,240] — holds the slow input;
- mode B (BarrierSum): [None,None,120,None,None,240] — waits for timestamp
coincidence;
- mixed A+B (MixedSum): the OR-combine fires both when the barrier pair completes
(holding the as-of input) and when the as-of input ticks (holding the pair).
Plus determinism (C1, bit-identical re-run of each rail) and the three bootstrap
rejections re-expressed on SourceSpec.
Gates green (re-run by the orchestrator, not just the agent): cargo build/test
(30: aura-core 19 + aura-std 3 + aura-engine 8) / clippy --workspace
--all-targets -D warnings clean; surface-purity grep (no dyn-Any / Rc / RefCell)
clean — the harness doc phrases RustAst's model without the literal tokens to
avoid self-match.

audit: cycle 0003 tidy — rename Sim -> Harness (glossary alignment)
Architect drift review over 71c8f6e..dd5c3fa (deterministic-sim-loop). Invariants hold: C1 (single-threaded, bit-identical re-run, alloc-free per-cycle ring path), C7 (AnyColumn type-erased edges, Box<dyn Node> is the node object not a dyn-Any payload, kinds checked once at bootstrap), C8/C9 (DAG wired, Kahn rejects cycles, None forwards nothing = sample-and-hold seed). Column::run_count already exists, so the C5 freshness primitive lives at the substrate — the deferral is honest, not a hole. Resolved [high]: the runtime type was named `Sim`, colliding with the glossary's load-bearing distinction — `sim` is the disjoint *executable unit / parallelism* framing, whereas the thing built here (a closed root graph of source + nodes + observe under a clock) is by C20 / the glossary a **harness**. Renamed `Sim` -> `Harness`, `sim.rs` -> `harness.rs`, and the module/exports/doc to match, before any other code takes a dependency on the wrong term. Gates re-run green (26 tests, clippy -D warnings, purity grep). Resolved [med] (glossary gap): added an `edge` entry anchoring the new wiring vocabulary (Edge / source target) to the glossary — record-reality per the boss glossary-write authority. Carry-on with forward notes (next-cycle owners, not fixes now): - [med] C4 monotonic cycle_id has no realization in the runtime type yet (the cycle clock is the record iteration; the explicit counter's first reader is freshness). Cycle 0004 owns materializing it together with C5. - [low] Sub declares lookback 1; once depth>1 join nodes exist, add a test guarding C8's "a node never reads beyond its declared lookback". Regression gate: profile regression list empty — architect is the sole gate, now clean. Next direction: freshness-gated recompute + a second source (C5/C3). |

feat(engine): the deterministic single-source sim loop
Cycle 0003: aura-engine's first real content — a Sim that runs a wired DAG of
nodes deterministically, cycle by cycle. First point in the project where
authored nodes execute against data, not just under a hand-fed Ctx.
- `Sim` (aura-engine) — a bootstrapped, frozen root graph: a flat Vec<NodeBox>
(each node owns its input columns, the cycle-0002 shape) + an index edge
table, topologically ordered (Kahn). `bootstrap` sizes every input column from
its node's schema, kind-checks each edge and source target, and rejects
directed cycles — C7's "type check paid once at wiring" generalized to the
whole topology (`BootstrapError::{KindMismatch, BadIndex, Cycle}`).
- `run` — the deterministic loop: per record, forward the source value into its
target slots, evaluate nodes in topo order, capture the observed node's output
at eval time, and forward each `Some` output into its consumers' input columns
(a `None` forwards nothing — the structural seed of sample-and-hold). The loop
destructures `&mut self` into disjoint field borrows and allocates nothing on
the per-cycle path. This is the flat, monomorphized sharpening of RustAst's
reference-counted, interior-mutable observer push graph (C1/C7).
- `Edge` / `Target` (aura-engine) — producer->consumer and source->consumer wiring.
- `Sub` (aura-std) — a 2-input f64-difference node, so the loop is proven on a
real fan-out + join DAG (source -> {SMA(2), SMA(4)} -> Sub), with a determinism
assertion (C1: a second identical run is bit-identical).
Engine library depends only on aura-core; a test-only dev-dependency on aura-std
lets the integration test wire real Sma/Sub nodes. Sim carries a hand-written,
node-opaque `Debug` impl (Box<dyn Node> is not Debug; the impl prints
nodes.len() + the index/topology fields, needed by the bootstrap-rejection tests'
`unwrap_err`).
Deliberately deferred (recorded as decisions): freshness-gated recompute /
sample-and-hold (C5 -> cycle 0004, with the second source that makes it testable);
the explicit monotonic cycle_id counter (its first reader is freshness, 0004);
the Source trait + data-server ingestion + k-way merge (C3/C11); the builder API
(C19); the real sink + run registry (C18/C22).
Gates green: cargo build/test (26: 18 aura-core + 3 aura-std + 5 aura-engine)/
clippy -D warnings clean; surface-purity grep (no dyn-Any / Rc / RefCell) clean.

docs: brokers are consumer nodes (C10), several attachable for comparable curves
Correct the broker mechanism: a broker is an ordinary downstream consumer node (C8/C9), not an external plugin/subsystem. It consumes the position-event stream + price streams and emits an equity stream; several brokers (e.g. sim-optimal pip + realistic currency) can be attached to the same position table at once, yielding directly comparable equity curves. Updates C10, CLAUDE.md invariant 7, aura-engine/aura-std crate docs, and the day-in-the-life doc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: fix three drifts found in the session audit
C8: a node is producer/consumer/both — at most one output, pure consumers (sinks: chart/equity/logger) have none; records the node-role taxonomy the substrate requires (was wrongly 'exactly one output', contradicting pure consumers and C14). C3: merge by timestamp, normalizing source-native units (data-server Unix-ms) to the canonical epoch-ns of C7. aura-engine lib doc: broker is a downstream plugin over the position table (sim-optimal pip / realistic currency), not an in-strategy 'broker/portfolio node'.

chore: scaffold aura workspace and wire the skills dev-cycle
Cargo workspace aura-core -> aura-engine -> aura-cli (bin `aura`) plus nodes/ for hot-reloadable cdylib node crates. Crate bodies are intentionally API-free; types arrive from the first spec. Adds the skills profile (.claude/dev-cycle-profile.yml), the project CLAUDE.md with the eight domain invariants, and the design-ledger skeleton.
