plan: 0007 signal-quality loop (exposure + sim-optimal broker)
Bite-sized, placeholder-free plan for spec 0007: Task 1 ships the Exposure node (clamp signal/scale to [-1,+1]) in aura-std; Task 2 the SimBroker node (causal lagged exposure*return -> cumulative pips); Task 3 two aura-engine end-to-end tests (pip-equity recording with a hand-computed curve + determinism); Task 4 the full workspace gates (test/clippy/purity grep). Each node's lib.rs module registration is folded into its own task so every per-task compile gate is satisfiable. refs #4 #5 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

spec: 0007 signal-quality loop (exposure stream + sim-optimal broker)
Cycle 0007 bundles Gitea #4 (exposure node) and #5 (sim-optimal broker) — the two halves of the signal-quality loop, the realization of the C10 reframe. Ships two aura-std nodes: Exposure { scale } (clamp(signal/scale, -1, +1)) and SimBroker { pip_size } (causal prev_exposure * dprice / pip_size integration, no look-ahead). Engine unchanged — pure node authoring on the frozen substrate. grounding-check: PASS (all substrate assumptions ratified by green tests). refs #4 #5 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

design(C10): reframe strategy output to intent/exposure stream; position table becomes a derived layer
The DAG expresses exactly one state at time t and a node emits at most one record per eval (C8), so a *sequence* of position events — where one decision instant (a stop-and-reverse) needs a close AND an open at the same event_ts — cannot be the DAG's per-cycle output without violating C8. The state the DAG can express faithfully is the desired exposure (one value per cycle); the buy/sell/close events are its first difference, a derived consequence. C10 is reframed accordingly: the strategy's primary, backtestable output is an intent/exposure stream (one signed, bounded f64 in [-1,+1] per cycle). Signal quality is measured by the sim-optimal broker integrating exposure*return into a synthetic pip-equity curve. The broker-independent position-event table survives as a decoupled, derivable, downstream position-management layer (computed table, not a per-eval output) feeding realistic broker nodes for viability/deploy — no longer the DAG output nor the signal-quality measure. Touches the ledger contract (INDEX.md C10 + provenance/milestone/C20 ancillary), the always-loaded summary (CLAUDE.md invariant #7), the glossary (broker, equity stream, position table, realistic broker, signal, sim-optimal broker, strategy reframed + new exposure-stream entry), and the north-star layout doc. Sealed specs/plans (0001-0006) left as historical record. refs #4 #5 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs(C8): state output:vec![] as the sink declaration + eval return-width contract
Closes the spec_gap from the cycle-0006 fieldtest
(docs/specs/fieldtest-0006-substrate.md): the public surface never stated that
an empty `output` is THE pure-consumer (sink) declaration, nor defined what a
`Some` return paired with an empty output means.
The behaviour was already principled and defended in the engine — this only
documents it (no code change):
- `output: vec![]` is the pure-consumer declaration; there is no separate
Sink type/trait/marker.
- `eval` must return a row whose width equals `schema.output.len()`, so a pure
consumer returns `None` or a zero-width `Some(&[])`; the run loop
debug-asserts the width (harness.rs).
- field-wise wiring resolves `Edge::from_field` against the producer's output
at bootstrap, so no edge can bind a field of a zero-output node (it fails
with `BadIndex`) — a sink is structurally unwireable as an in-graph
producer; its only output is the out-of-graph side effect.
Ledger C8 gains an "Encoding & return contract" clause; aura-core node.rs
rustdoc (module, NodeSchema, Node trait) updated from the pre-0006 "1..K,
producer or transformer" wording to the three-role (producer/consumer/both)
contract.

fieldtest: cycle-0006 sink recording — 5 examples, 6 findings
First fieldtest of the project. A standalone downstream-consumer crate
(fieldtests/cycle-0006-substrate/) path-depends on the engine crates and
exercises the post-0006 substrate from the public interface only (rustdoc +
specs + ledger, never crates/ source):
1 custom recording node via the Node contract + Ctx::now()
2 fan-out/fan-in DAG, 3-arg bootstrap, run() -> ()
3 two interior streams recorded from one run (the cycle headline)
4 byte-identical recorded output across two runs (C1 determinism)
5 mis-wired recording edge rejected (KindMismatch) at bootstrap
Findings: 3 working (carry-on), 2 friction, 1 spec_gap.
- friction: a nested standalone consumer crate fights the workspace
resolver (needs an empty [workspace] table — Cargo's own hint).
- friction: recorder boilerplate is hand-rewritten per author (C9
deliberately ships no library sink).
- spec_gap: the public surface never states output: vec![] is THE sink
declaration, nor defines a Some return paired with empty output.
Spec at docs/specs/fieldtest-0006-substrate.md feeds the 0007 plan.

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. No engine misbehaviour surfaced. closes #3 |

audit: cycle 0006 tidy (clean) — glossary record-reality (sink is a role)
Architect drift review over 57310b8..HEAD: clean — no drift, no debt. The C1/C7 boundary is correctly drawn (recorded values escape only via a node-held mpsc::Sender with no out-edge; nothing recorded re-enters the graph; the engine surface shrank). C2 holds (Ctx::now() is the present cycle's ts). The C8/C22 cycle-0006 realization notes accurately describe what shipped — no overclaim. Test fixtures stayed in #[cfg(test)] (C9). Regression set is empty (profile) — architect is the sole gate; green. Record-reality: the glossary 'sink' entry defined a sink as 'a pure consumer node with no output', which the shipped TapForward node (records AND forwards an output) now contradicts. Updated to reality: a sink is a recording *role*, not a type — a node may be a pure consumer or record and produce in the same eval (C8 'both'). No invention; the entry now matches the substrate this cycle landed. |

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 |

plan: 0006 sink recording
Six tasks: (1) aura-core Ctx::now(); (2) thread the Ctx::new signature change through aura-std's five test call sites; (3) aura-engine production shrink (remove observe, run -> (), thread the run-loop Ctx); (4) migrate the engine test suite to a test-local Recorder fixture + drained channel (the finish-threading task — the test module is one compile unit, so it restores the full cargo test); (5) eight new node-recording proof tests; (6) ledger C8/C22 realization notes + the ship gate (workspace test, clippy, purity grep). Recon found the spec undercounts Ctx::new call sites (9, not 3): the aura-std and aura-engine run-loop sites also break on the signature change and are threaded in tasks 2-3. refs #2 |

spec: 0006 sink recording
A sink is a role, not a type: recording is an out-of-graph side effect a node performs in eval, pushing to a destination it holds as a field. No Sink type, no trait, no engine sink-awareness. The engine stays the router for in-graph routing (edge table = graph-as-data); the node-side push is the only out-of-graph escape, and that boundary is the determinism boundary. A node may be producer and sink at once (C8 both). Engine surface shrinks: Ctx gains now(); the observe index (field, bounds check, per-cycle collection) is removed; bootstrap drops its 4th param; run returns (). Recording streams are sparse and timestamped (only fired cycles), replacing the dense Vec<Option<row>>. Realization notes land on C8 and C22; no new contract. refs #2 |

audit: cycle 0005 tidy — glossary record-reality (node-output-record)
Architect drift review over 9ff90b5..5228542 (node-output-record): drift_found,
all low-severity, NO contract violation. The load-bearing invariants hold:
- C7 forbids intact — the reused `scratch` buffer (cleared+extended, warm after
cycle 1) and node-owned `[Scalar; K]` output buffers give zero per-cycle heap
alloc on the inter-node forward path; no fifth scalar type, no dyn-Any, no
heterogeneous buffer (the TwoField mixed-kind producer is rejected at bootstrap,
never streamed). Purity grep clean. The sharpened C7 guarantee text matches the
shipped per-field kind check + the Edge::from_field scatter.
- C8 revised text faithful — one output port (out_len), record of 1..K columns
(Vec<FieldSpec>), field-wise binding only (N edges, no whole-record bind), scalar
= degenerate K=1. No internal contradiction with C7/C9/C10.
- C6 untouched, verified against the run loop — one eval per node per cycle, every
out-edge stamps SlotState { fresh_at: cycle_id, last_ts: ts } with the same ts,
so the K fields of one record are co-fresh by construction. fires() unchanged.
- C3/C4/C5/C9 unperturbed (diff touches only node/edge plumbing); C2 lookback
enforcement unperturbed (column.rs/ctx.rs/any.rs not in the diff).
- C10 coherence confirmed — a position event is a 5-field record
(event_ts/action/position_id/instrument_id/volume), exactly the K-field
base-column record C8/C7 now sanction; the decision/sizing node is an ordinary
K=5 producer, the broker an N-edge field-wise consumer. No contract gap blocks
the next consumer; C10 correctly out of scope this cycle.
Resolved [low] (the one confirmed drift) — glossary record-reality. The ledger
C7/C8 moved this cycle but the glossary lagged. Fixed three entries to the
post-0005 reality (this is audit's autonomous glossary write authority,
record-reality only): `node` ("at most one output" -> "at most one output port; a
producer's output is a record of 1..K base-scalar columns, scalar = degenerate
K=1"), `composite` (now connects the multi-column stream to the node-output model
— the record a producer's eval returns, bound field-wise), `edge` (forwards "one
field (from_field) of a producer's eval output record", per-field kind check).
The architect named `node` + `composite`; `edge` is an orchestrator-observed
addition in the same record-reality pass (post-from_field it read "forwards one
node's eval output", now imprecise for K>1).
Regression gate: profile regression list empty — architect is the sole gate, now
clean (36 tests: aura-core 19 + aura-std 3 + aura-engine 14; clippy -D warnings
clean; purity grep clean). Cycle 0005 is drift-clean.
Carry-on forward note (next-cycle owner, not a fix now):
- [low] cycle 0004's depth>1 join-lookback guard test remains merely OWED, not a
fresh hole — the substrate enforces it via Window bounds (column.rs/ctx.rs
untouched this cycle) and 0005 added no depth>1 join. Co-fresh borrowed-row
routing does not interact with per-input lookback. A confirmation test is still
owed when a depth>1 join lands.
NOT a milestone close: the walking-skeleton milestone still needs its end-to-end
fieldtest (ingest -> signal -> backtest -> position table -> broker -> pip-equity).
This cycle delivers the record-output substrate that the trading half (C10) now
builds on.

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). Gates re-run by the orchestrator (not just the agent): cargo build/test --workspace --all-targets (36: aura-core 19 + aura-std 3 + aura-engine 14, 0 failed) / clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; surface-purity grep (no dyn-Any / Rc / RefCell) clean. Ledger C8/C7 edits verified (Option<&[Scalar]> present, "one series per node" gone, cycle-0005 realization note added).

plan: 0005 node output record
Four tasks, ordered by compile-gate discipline (each leaves a coherent gate satisfiable): 1. aura-core contract (FieldSpec, NodeSchema.output -> Vec<FieldSpec>, Node::eval -> Option<&[Scalar]>) + aura-std Sma/Sub degenerate migration, threaded in one task. The signature change breaks aura-engine, so the gate is SCOPED to `-p aura-core -p aura-std` (engine is knowingly broken until task 3). 2. aura-engine production: Edge.from_field, NodeBox.out_len, per-field bootstrap kind/range check, reused-scratch field-indexed run forward, run -> Vec<Option<Vec<Scalar>>>. Breaks the in-module tests, so the gate is a PARTIAL `cargo build -p aura-engine --lib` + clippy --lib only. 3. aura-engine tests: migrate the 3 firing fixtures to the slice return; add the Ohlcv 5-field bundler + TwoField mixed-kind fixture; the field-binding proof (high-low, close-open), K>1 output, determinism, and must-fail (from_field OOB -> BadIndex, per-field kind mismatch -> KindMismatch); adapt all prior 0003/0004 tests to from_field + the Vec return. Full workspace gate + purity grep. 4. design ledger: C8 revision (one output port carrying a record) + C7 sharpening (composite-bundle is the node-output model). Docs-only; glossary record-reality is audit-time, not this plan. Orchestrator decisions baked in: the spec's illustrative `schemas_out_len[nidx]` is committed as a `NodeBox.out_len` field (set at bootstrap) read into a run-loop local; the firing fixtures hold a `[Scalar; 1]` buffer constructed at each call site; Sub drops `#[derive(Default)]` (Scalar has no Default) for a manual Default that keeps clippy's new_without_default quiet; the engine lib.rs doc is left untouched (no single-scalar phrase there -- only harness.rs doc + Edge doc move). plan-recon confirmed every spec-named path exists and the compile-driven site set (6 output: literals, 6 fn eval, 6 Edge literals, 11 .run callers); from_field / FieldSpec / Ohlcv are net-new.

spec: 0005 node output record
Cycle 0005 (BLOCKER, milestone walking-skeleton): generalize a node's output from a single scalar to a record of base-scalar columns (K >= 1), with a scalar being the degenerate K = 1 case. A node keeps exactly one output port; that port's payload becomes an ordered list of named, typed 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 can exist while a node emits at most one column. This revises C8 and sharpens C7. The load-bearing design call, made with the user: the eval output representation under C7's "no per-event heap allocation". eval becomes `-> Option<&[Scalar]>` -- the node fills a buffer it owns (sized once at construction) and returns a borrowed K-field row; the engine copies it into one reused scratch row (resolving the borrow, zero per-cycle alloc once warm) and scatters each field to its out-edges. `None` still means filter/not-warmed. Rejected alternatives, on substance: returning `Option<Vec<Scalar>>` allocates per fire (violates C7's forbids); an inline fixed `[Scalar; N]` record bakes a magic width cap; engine-owned output columns invert the eval model (write-into-out + a fired flag) and split "fired" from "produced" for an output-lookback benefit we do not need (history is bound as an input, not read from a node's own past). The borrowed row is the minimal faithful generalization of today's `Some(Scalar)` push route, K-wide. Binding stays field-wise only: `Edge` gains `from_field`; consuming a whole record is N edges; no "bind whole record" mechanism. The K fields of one record are co-fresh by construction (one eval, one timestamp), so C6 is untouched. The record is structural bundling over the four base types (C7 intact) -- no fifth scalar type, no dyn Any, no heterogeneous buffer. Scope is the substrate only: the contract change, the Sma/Sub degenerate migration, the engine from_field wiring, and a neutral OHLCV proof (a 5-field bundler fed by five timestamp-aligned barrier sources + a downstream Sub binding high - low field-wise, plus must-fail cases: from_field out of range -> BadIndex, per-field kind mismatch -> KindMismatch). The C10 position table and broker nodes are out of scope -- later cycles that consume this capability. Self-review clean; grounding-check PASS (14 load-bearing "before"-state assumptions ratified by named green tests; C6/C7/C8 match the ledger as written; parse-every-block a documented no-op -- profile declares no spec_validation). refs #1 refs walking-skeleton Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.

plan: cycle 0004 firing policies and merge
Three tasks, ordered by compile-gate discipline (each leaves a coherent build
gate satisfiable):
1. aura-core Firing enum + InputSpec.firing, threaded through aura-std Sma/Sub
in the same task (the field addition breaks both callers) -> full workspace
gate green.
2. aura-engine production rewrite: SourceSpec, SlotState (fresh_at + last_ts, the
two read clocks), NodeBox/Harness fields, the k-way merge run loop, and the
fires() firing predicate. The bootstrap/run signature change breaks the
in-module tests, so this task ends on a PARTIAL gate (cargo build -p
aura-engine --lib, which excludes #[cfg(test)]).
3. aura-engine tests: rewrite the 5 cycle-0003 tests onto the multi-source API
and add the firing rails -- mode A as-of hold, mode B barrier wait, mixed A+B
OR-combine, each with worked expected vectors -> full workspace gate.
Orchestrator decisions baked in: run length-mismatch is a caller bug -> assert_eq!
(not a typed error, not a silent no-op); historical specs/plans (0002/0003) pin
pre-cycle disk state and are left frozen; the test module gets an explicit
`use aura_core::{InputSpec, NodeSchema}` (harness.rs production never names those
types, so `use super::*` does not bring them, and putting them in the top-level
use would be an unused-import under -D warnings); the harness doc keeps RustAst's
model phrased without the literal Rc/RefCell tokens so the purity grep does not
self-match.
Grounding-check on the parent spec PASS; plan-recon confirmed every spec-named
path exists and the "before" shapes match disk.

spec: cycle 0004 firing policies and merge
Fourth walking-skeleton cycle: the reactive-semantics layer — both firing
policies (C6), the k-way ingestion merge (C3), the monotonic cycle_id clock
(C4), and freshness-gated recompute / sample-and-hold (C5). This is the first
point where the engine departs from RustAst rather than sharpening it.
Both rails ship together (user directive: "must sit right from the start"):
- A = fire-on-any-fresh + hold (as-of join);
- B = all-fresh barrier (synchronizing join), accumulating across cycles.
Per-input-group, mixable on one node. Encoded as Firing::{Any, Barrier(u8)} on
InputSpec (where C8 places firing); default Any keeps Sma/Sub unchanged.
Key design resolution (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).
Two read clocks, both load-bearing (resolves the 0003 audit's "0004 owns
cycle_id" with no write-only field): cycle_id is the freshness epoch (C5 reads
it via per-slot fresh_at == cycle_id); timestamp is the barrier token (C6 reads
it via last_ts == T). Sample-and-hold falls out of the existing push model — a
non-firing node pushes nothing, so consumers see the held value via window[0].
Scope (user-chosen): reactive semantics only — in-memory (timestamp, value)
sources; the merge is the permanent ingestion core, the Source trait (C11) +
data-server IO are a later orthogonal cycle. bootstrap/run/InputSpec signatures
change (the 0003 tests re-express on the multi-source API).
Headline test pair (identical sources, firing-only difference): A emits
[None,None,120,130,140,240] (holds); B emits [None,None,120,None,None,240]
(waits for timestamp coincidence). Plus determinism (C1), mixed A+B, the 0003
fan-out/join compat baseline, and the bootstrap rejections.
Grounding-check PASS: 10 load-bearing substrate assumptions ratified by green
tests; the spec's "before" shapes match disk exactly.

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.

plan: cycle 0003 deterministic single-source sim loop
Three tasks, each leaving the workspace green: 1. Sub 2-input difference node in aura-std (+ test). 2. Sim in aura-engine: Edge/Target/BootstrapError + bootstrap (schema-sizing, edge kind-check, Kahn topo-sort, cycle/bad-index/kind-mismatch rejection) + the forwarding run loop (disjoint &mut-self destructure, no per-cycle alloc), with 5 tests (chain, fan-out/join + determinism, cycle, kind-mismatch, bad-index). aura-engine gains a test-only dev-dependency on aura-std. 3. Workspace gate: build / test (26) / clippy -D warnings / purity grep. Orchestrator decisions baked in: observe captured at eval-time (no output column); Sim stores only fields run reads (no write-only cycle_id/source_kind that would trip `field never read`); the sim.rs doc avoids the literal Rc/RefCell tokens so the purity grep does not self-match. |

spec: cycle 0003 deterministic single-source sim loop
Third walking-skeleton cycle: aura-engine's first real content — a Sim that
runs a wired DAG of nodes deterministically, cycle by cycle. First point where
authored nodes execute against data, not just under a hand-fed Ctx.
Engine shape (contract-forced): a flat Vec<NodeBox> + an index edge table,
topologically ordered (Kahn), owned &mut by the loop — the flat, monomorphized
sharpening of RustAst's Rc<RefCell<dyn Observer>> push graph (C1/C7). Each node
owns its input columns (cycle-0002 shape), so Ctx is unchanged and the per-cycle
path allocates nothing. Wiring is by forwarding: a producer's eval output is
pushed into its consumers' input columns; a None forwards nothing (the seed of
sample-and-hold).
Bootstrap generalizes C7's "type check paid once at wiring" to the whole
topology: size input columns from each node's schema, kind-check every edge,
reject directed cycles (BootstrapError). A worked 2-input Sub node lands in
aura-std so the loop is proven on a real fan-out+join DAG
(source -> {SMA(2), SMA(4)} -> Sub -> observe), with a determinism assertion (C1).
Deliberately deferred (recorded as decisions): freshness gating / sample-and-hold
(C5 -> cycle 0004, only testable once a second source at a different rate exists);
the Source trait + data-server ingestion + k-way merge (C3/C11); the ergonomic
builder API (C19); the real sink + run registry (C18/C22); cross-sim parallelism.
Grounding-check PASS: all assumptions about the 0001 substrate and 0002 node
contract ratified by green tests; no phantom methods.

audit: cycle 0002 tidy (clean)
Architect drift review over 724ad66..77a1d26 (node-contract-and-ctx):
no code drift. The shipped node contract matches the ledger:
- C8: Node = schema() + eval(ctx) -> Option<Scalar>; engine-provided zero-copy
financial-indexed Window per input via Ctx; None = not-warmed-up. Sma authored
in the downstream aura-std crate genuinely exercises the cross-crate contract.
- C7: Ctx accessors take the wiring-checked typed column once (as_*) then hand a
zero-copy Window — no dyn Any, no per-event alloc; panic-once-at-access matches
"type check paid once at wiring".
- C5: run_count freshness primitive untouched and still canonical.
- Glossary: Node/Ctx/NodeSchema/InputSpec introduce no nomenclature competing
with the canonical `node` entry or any Avoid list.
One advisory item (resolution: carry-on, no ledger edit):
Architect noted NodeSchema.output is a non-optional single ScalarKind, which
structurally forbids the zero-output sink arm of C8/C22. This is honestly
deferred in spec 0002 ("Out of scope: sinks / no-output nodes"). Resolution:
the ledger records the contract (the full C8 target), not implementation
status; building the producer arm first is normal incremental progress, and
the deferral's home is the spec + forward queue, not the C8 contract text.
Annotating C8 with "this arm is unimplemented" would conflate contract with
status and require per-cycle upkeep. No code fix scheduled.
Regression gate: profile regression list empty — architect is the sole gate,
and it is clean. Next direction: the sim-loop / freshness slice (C4/C5).

feat(core): the node contract — Node, schema/eval, Ctx, and a worked SMA
Cycle 0002, the second walking-skeleton slice on top of the 0001 substrate:
the interface every node forever implements (C8), proven end-to-end by a real
node with no engine present.
- `Node` (aura-core) — `schema() -> NodeSchema` declares inputs (kind +
lookback) and the single output kind; `eval(&mut self, Ctx) -> Option<Scalar>`
computes one cycle's output (`None` = filter / not-yet-warmed-up). `&mut self`
so a node may keep its own derived state.
- `Ctx<'a>` (aura-core) — a `Copy` borrow-wrapper handing `eval` zero-copy,
financial-indexed `Window`s per input (`ctx.f64_in(i)[k]`, index 0 = newest).
A kind mismatch panics ("engine bug") — wiring guarantees the kind, so a
mismatch can only mean the wiring layer is broken; this keeps node-author code
clean (`w[k]`, not `w?[k]`).
- `AnyColumn::as_f64/as_i64/as_bool/as_ts` (aura-core) — the read-side mirror of
the existing `as_*_mut`, the mechanism `Ctx` uses to get a typed window from a
type-erased edge. Closes the read-side gap the cycle-0001 audit recorded.
- `Sma` (aura-std) — the skeleton's first real block: a producer node computing
the moving mean of one f64 input, emitting `None` until warmed up. Authored in
a downstream crate (proving aura-core's contract is usable across the crate
boundary) and driven by a hand-written test that mimics exactly what the sim
loop will later generalize: push fresh input, eval, collect.
Deliberately deferred (spec 0002 "Out of scope", recorded as decisions): the
firing policies (C6 — InputSpec carries no firing field yet), the sim loop (C4)
and freshness gating (C5), schema-level tunable params (C12/C19), and the
no-output sink refinement (C8 consumer side).
Gates green: cargo build/test (20: 18 aura-core + 2 aura-std)/clippy -D warnings
all clean; surface-purity grep (no dyn-Any / Rc / RefCell) clean.

The second walking-skeleton cycle, on top of the 0001 streaming substrate: the Node contract (C8) and its evaluation context. Scope (one iteration): - `Node` trait — `schema() -> NodeSchema` (inputs: kind + lookback; output kind) + `eval(&mut self, Ctx) -> Option<Scalar>` (None = filter / not warmed). - `Ctx` — a Copy borrow-wrapper handing eval zero-copy, financial-indexed Windows per input (`ctx.f64_in(i)[k]`, index 0 = newest). - Read-side `AnyColumn::as_f64/as_i64/as_bool/as_ts` — mirrors the existing write-side `as_*_mut` and closes the cycle-0001 audit gap. - `Sma` in aura-std — the worked producer node (the skeleton's first block), driven by a hand-written test that mimics the future sim loop. Deliberate deferrals (recorded as decisions, not gaps): the sim loop (C4), freshness gating (C5), firing policies (C6, so InputSpec carries no firing field yet), schema-level tunable params (C12/C19), and sinks / no-output nodes (C8 consumer side).

feat(core): the streaming substrate — scalars, columns, type-erased edges
Cycle 0001 of the walking-skeleton milestone: the aura-core data substrate
everything streams through.
- scalar.rs: the closed four-type set — Scalar (Copy POD carrier), ScalarKind
(the kind tag), Timestamp (i64 epoch-ns newtype). No boxed Value, no dyn Any,
no heap (C7).
- column.rs: Column<T>, a fixed-capacity bounded-lookback ring pre-sized at
construction (no hot-loop realloc, C8), financial-indexed (index 0 = newest),
carrying a monotonic run_count freshness primitive (C5). Window<'_,T> is its
zero-copy read view with newest-at-0 Index. No RefCell/Rc — a sim is
single-threaded (C1), so push is &mut and read is &.
- any.rs: AnyColumn, the type-erased edge over the four Column kinds. push()
kind-checks at the edge (wiring time) and rejects a wrong-kind value with
KindMismatch, leaving the column untouched; the hot path bypasses the check
via the monomorphic as_*_mut accessors (C7).
- error.rs: KindMismatch { expected, got }, the guard error.
Sharpens the RustAst rtl/ reference (VecDeque + RefCell + boxed Value) into a
fixed ring of Copy scalars with direct dispatch. Node trait, Ctx, firing
policies, and the sim loop are deferred to subsequent cycles.
Verified independently: cargo build --workspace (0 warnings), cargo test
--workspace (14 aura-core tests green incl. ring-wrap, run_count monotonicity,
zero-copy window, and the wrong_kind_push_is_rejected guard), cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets -D warnings (clean), and a surface-purity grep
confirming no RefCell/Rc/dyn Any on the substrate.

Note its records are AoS (M1Parsed/TickParsed), so the ingestion boundary (C3) transposes them into SoA columns (C7) and normalizes time_ms -> epoch-ns. - RustAst: not just a conceptual reference but a working reference implementation of the streaming substrate.

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'. Plus a provenance line-wrap nit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: C10 — strategy result is a broker-independent position table
Supersede 'broker is part of the strategy'. A strategy outputs a time-ordered table of position events (event_ts, action[buy/sell/close], position_id, instrument_id, volume; open time = opening event's event_ts, so no open_ts; unsigned volume, direction in action). Brokers become downstream swappable plugins: a deterministic frictionless sim-optimal broker yields synthetic pip-equity for neutral comparison/optimization; realistic broker plugins add currency friction/constraints for viability/deploy. Stays within C7 (scalar columns). Updates CLAUDE.md invariant 7, the walking-skeleton line, provenance, and the day-in-the-life doc.

docs+scaffold: engine/project split (C16-C18), aura-std, usage doc
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.

docs: write the architecture design ledger (C1-C15)
Captures the rough-sketch interview as 15 discrete contracts (guarantee / forbids / why): determinism, causality, single-merge-at-ingestion, cycle granularity, freshness-gated recompute, firing policies A/B, SoA scalar payloads, node contract, fractal acyclic composition, the broker-is-part-of-strategy execution chain, generalized sources with the record-then-replay boundary, the atomic sim unit + four axes, authoring-only hot-reload, headless two-faced core, and resampling/sessions. Also corrects the tracker repo name to Brummel/Aura. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.
