The shell no longer defines what an aura backtest is. Tasks 1-9 of the
shell-boundary cycle — structural extraction, behaviour byte-identical:
- aura-runner (new; the C28 assembly position): input binding (the C26
module, moved whole), the C1-load-bearing param<->config translators,
harness assembly (wrap_r / run_signal_r / run_blueprint_member and the
probe/reopen cluster), axis + risk-regime conventions (bind_axes et
al.), the campaign family builders + MC guards, reproduce
(process::exit -> RunnerError, shell remaps to identical bytes), the
measurement-run orchestration, project loading (Env / cdylib load /
charter / staleness, moved whole), the coverage gap-walk (deduplicated
onto interior_gap_months), and DefaultMemberRunner — the public
implementation of aura_campaign::MemberRunner (ex CliMemberRunner).
The MemberRunner trait stays in aura-campaign; the column still
imports no harness/data-binding machinery.
- aura-measurement (new; seeds C28 rung 3): the IcMetrics/IcKey
vocabulary + information_coefficient, verbatim incl. serde derives
(#294 duplicate-timestamp semantics move as-is, unresolved).
- aura-backtest: the pure per-run scaffold (point_from_params,
wf_ms_sizes / fit_wf_ms_sizes, intersect_shared_window).
- shell residue: main.rs / campaign_run.rs keep argv/dispatch,
argv->document translation, and presentation only;
walkforward_summary_json_from_reports now calls the public
aura_engine::param_stability instead of its inline twin.
- worked example (crates/aura-runner/examples/world_member_run.rs): a
World program runs a member backtest through the library alone.
Held quality findings, adjudicated: the plan's literal pub-visibility
list for binding.rs kept (cosmetic); ~20 refusal sites inside
aura-runner (family/member/measure/translate) still process::exit —
behaviour-identical today, conversion to RunnerError is filed forward
(refs #297); rustfmt line-width drift on re-pathed call sites left for
a repo-wide fmt decision.
Verification: cargo test --workspace green (1471 passed, 0 failed);
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean. Byte-identity
is pinned by the untouched shell E2E suites (cli_run, measure_ic,
run_measurement, research_docs, run_refuses_unrunnable_blueprint,
tap_recording — zero assertion edits).
Remaining in this cycle: full-workspace c28_layering + shell-content
check, ledger amendments (C28 assembly position, C25/C14 control-surface
consequence, C26 realization note).
refs #295
C28 phase 2 (Stratification); realizes item 1 of the deferred #147. The
engine's production surface no longer names a backtest-metric type:
- RunReport becomes generic over its metric payload M; sweep/mc/walkforward/
blueprint thread the parameter (SweepPoint<M>, SweepFamily<M>, WindowRun<M>,
WalkForwardResult<M>). RunManifest stays concrete and engine-owned (its
selection: Option<FamilySelection> embeds the foundation-grade analysis type).
- summarize and the MC assembly (McDraw/McFamily/McAggregate/RBootstrap/
r_bootstrap/monte_carlo) move to aura-backtest - McAggregate::from_draws reads
RunMetrics fields by name, so generifying it is the phase-6 metric-vocabulary
abstraction (#147 item 2), still deferred; wholesale relocation is the honest
cut. The concrete instantiation lives in aura-backtest as
`type RunReport = aura_engine::RunReport<RunMetrics>` + sibling aliases.
- the statistics kernel (MetricStats/quantile/resample_block/SplitMix64) moves
to the aura-analysis foundation; the engine re-imports it (inner->foundation,
legal) and re-exports it so existing consumers stay source-compatible.
Dependency inversion in one commit: aura-engine drops aura-backtest from
[dependencies] (back to dev-deps for its SimBroker/RunMetrics test fixtures);
aura-backtest gains aura-engine. Cycle-free for lib targets - the cycle closes
only through the engine's dev-dep edge, the pattern aura-vocabulary already
uses. aura-backtest reaches the kernel transitively through the engine
re-export, so no aura-backtest -> aura-analysis edge exists (the C28 ladder
permits backtest -> {core, engine} only). run_indexed / SplitMix64::next_f64
widened pub(crate) -> pub for cross-crate use.
Consumers (registry/campaign/cli/composites/ingest/bench) rewired by import
path only, no call-site logic changed. The c28_layering structural test extends
to the full ladder: aura-analysis (no aura-* deps), aura-engine ⊆ {core,
analysis}, aura-backtest ⊆ {core, engine}.
Behaviour-preserving: 1448/0 tests, clippy -D warnings clean, serde shapes
byte-identical (C18 - RunReport<M> keeps field order manifest,metrics; the
CLI pre-serialized-splice contract unchanged), moved code traceable via git
rename detection. Cycle-introduced broken intra-doc links fixed.
closes#292
Phase 4 of the Stratification milestone. aura-std held four C28 ladder
layers in one roster; this cuts them into layer-aligned, aura-core-only
node crates so the import direction is enforced by the crate graph:
- aura-std — engine nodes only (arithmetic/logic/rolling + sinks)
- aura-market — session, resample
- aura-strategy — bias, stops, sizer, cost-model machinery
- aura-backtest — sim_broker, position_management
- aura-vocabulary — the relocated closed std_vocabulary roster
Node modules move verbatim (byte-identical renames); consumers are
rewired by import path only. A new structural test
(aura-vocabulary/tests/c28_layering.rs) asserts each node crate's
[dependencies] stay within its C28-permitted inner set, catching the
acyclic-but-outward violation the compiler misses.
Behaviour byte-identical: full workspace suite green (1448 tests), no
golden edited, clippy -D warnings clean. C28 Status block updated.
closes#288
