aura's first real data source (closes#7, Walking-skeleton milestone). A new
aura-ingest workspace crate transposes data-server's AoS M1Parsed records into
SoA base columns (C7), normalizes Unix-ms to canonical epoch-ns at the one
ingestion boundary (C3), and feeds the existing k-way merge a real close-price
stream so a backtest runs over real bars, deterministically (C1).
Surface:
- unix_ms_to_epoch_ns(time_ms) -> Timestamp (= ms * 1_000_000), the single C3
unit normalization.
- M1Columns: the OHLCV bar as a bundle of base columns (open/high/low/close/
spread: f64, volume: i64, ts: epoch-ns) — SoA, C7.
- transpose_m1(&[M1Parsed]) -> M1Columns: pure AoS->SoA (C1).
- M1Columns::close_stream() -> Vec<(Timestamp, Scalar)>: the price input the
SMA-cross sample strategy consumes.
- load_m1_window(server, symbol, from_ms, to_ms): drains data-server's
chronological chunks, transposes once at the boundary.
Design (per spec 0011):
- Eager materialization, not a lazy/shared Source abstraction: C12's cross-sim
Arc<[T]> sharing has no consumer until the multi-sim orchestration cycle;
deferred, the transpose logic carries over.
- aura-ingest is the external-dependency firewall. data-server transitively
pulls chrono + regex + zip (+ their trees) into Cargo.lock; isolating it in
this one crate keeps aura-core/std/engine zero-external-dependency and the
frozen deploy artifact (C6 replays recorded streams, never re-ingests) clean.
cargo test --workspace now needs a populated cargo cache (one Gitea fetch,
done).
- Scope: boundary + tests only, no aura run CLI arg surface (M1 first; tick and
the CLI wiring are follow-ups).
Tests: 6 hermetic unit tests on hand-built M1Parsed (normalization, field-wise
transpose, purity, close_stream order, empty edges) + one gated integration
test (tests/real_bars.rs) that runs the cycle-0007 sample harness over real
AAPL.US 2006-08 close bars and asserts finite metrics + two-run bit-identical
JSON (C1); it skips cleanly where /mnt/tickdata is absent. On this machine it
ran the real path. Workspace gates green: test (86), clippy -D warnings, doc
-D warnings.
Minor: transient unused-import warnings in the new lib.rs across the additive
build steps resolved once load_m1_window consumed the imports; final -D warnings
gate clean.
Refine the structure per interview: aura is the reusable engine, research projects are separate external repos depending on it (C16). Add aura-std (universal standard-node tier) to the workspace; remove nodes/ from the engine (project concept). Record authoring-surface = Claude Code + skills pipeline, no embedded coding-LLM (C17), and project management = one-repo-one-project + Aura-native run registry (C18). Add CLAUDE.md invariants 9-10, code_roots -> [crates], and docs/project-layout.md documenting the day-in-the-life and project repo layout.

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.
