Brummel c8c34c72e7 plan: 0097 IS-refit walk-forward over a loaded blueprint
Four tasks, one iteration: (1) the windowed IS-sweep + OOS-run helpers +
blueprint_walkforward_family (mirrors the hard-wired Stage1R walkforward arm one
substitution deep — loaded blueprint via blueprint_axis_probe); (2) the
--axis/--select parse grammar + IO wrapper (persist via put_blueprint +
append_family, content-addressed like aura mc) + the .json walkforward dispatch
arm; (3) the reproduce_family_in WalkForward branch (persist+reproduce land
together); (4) the E2Es (persist shape, reproduce bit-identical, no-axis reject,
malformed-safety) + the full clippy/suite gate.

Panic-safety: blueprint_sweep_over returns Result<_, BindError> (user --axis
fallible); a bad axis → clean in-closure exit 2 (mirrors the hard-wired arm's
select_winner handling), never a panic. reduce-mode members carry R-metrics (no
raw pip curve) → empty stitched equity, oos_r is the meaningful summary (C10
R-first). Closes the World/C21 milestone's last piece.

Brummel 1e2ac82473 spec: 0097 IS-refit walk-forward over a loaded blueprint (boss-signed)
Add `aura walkforward <blueprint.json> --axis <name>=<csv> [--axis …]`: a true
in-sample-refit walk-forward over a loaded blueprint (Arm A, #173). Per IS
window it re-optimizes the blueprint's params over the user's --axis grid,
selects the winner by sqn_normalized, runs it out-of-sample, and aggregates the
per-window OOS reports into a FamilyKind::WalkForward family that is
content-addressed (put_blueprint) and aura-reproduce-aware. Closes the World/C21
milestone's last piece (the walk-forward half of #170).

Design (Arm A settled by the user; sub-forks derived and recorded on #173): the
loaded-blueprint WF mirrors the hard-wired stage1-r walk-forward arm one
substitution deep — the generic engine walk_forward driver + select_winner +
the 24/12/12 synthetic schedule are reused verbatim; only the per-window IS-sweep
and OOS-run source the loaded blueprint (wrap_stage1r via cycle-0096's
blueprint_axis_probe) over the user --axis grid. Persist + reproduce ship
together (coupled — a persisted family with no store hook is unreproducible, the
#170 hazard); the reproduce WalkForward branch reconstructs each OOS window's
windowed source + winner params from the member manifest, mirroring the 0095
MonteCarlo branch. Loaded members are reduce-mode (R-metrics, no raw pip curve),
so the WF is measured in R (oos_r), stitched pip-equity empty — consistent with
the C10 R-first yardstick.

Boss-signed on grounding-check PASS (independent, fresh-context; all 8
load-bearing current-behaviour assumptions ratified by named green tests —
incl. an empirically-confirmed one: a loaded-blueprint member carries and ranks
by sqn_normalized. One spec-internal tension flagged + fixed before sign).
Engine/registry untouched (invariants 1/2/8/9).

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

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

Milestone World/C21 stays OPEN — the walk-forward half (#173, IS-refit, now
unblocked by this #169) remains. Ephemeral spec/plan git-rm'd per the lifecycle
convention.

Brummel 581c86b091 plan: 0096 discover a loaded blueprint's sweepable axes
One iteration, three tasks: (1) extract blueprint_axis_probe and subsume the
two existing inline copies of the wrapped-namespace probe
(blueprint_sweep_family + blueprint_mc_family) into it — the single source the
spec's rationale requires; (2) the --list-axes surface (SweepBlueprintArgs
field, valueless-flag parse + standalone guard, list_blueprint_axes, dispatch
short-circuit); (3) four E2Es (open lists prefixed names, closed empty,
combined-flags reject, malformed-blueprint safety — no panic).

Brummel a78a0557f4 spec: 0096 discover a loaded blueprint's sweepable axes (boss-signed)
Add `aura sweep <blueprint.json> --list-axes`: a read-only query sub-mode
that lists a loaded blueprint's open sweepable knobs (one `<name>:<kind>`
per line, param_space() order), then exits. Closes the discovery gap #169
surfaced — today the only way to learn the axis names is to guess one and
read a MissingKnob/UnknownKnob error, and that error names only the
rejected knob, never the valid set. Prerequisite for #173 (IS-refit
walk-forward must know which axes to re-fit per in-sample window).

Derived surface decision (recorded on #169): the query lands on the SWEEP
verb, not `graph introspect`. The axis names `--axis` accepts are produced
by the sweep's own harness-wrapping — the loaded signal (name
"stage1_signal") is nested via wrap_stage1r as a BlueprintNode::Composite,
so collect_params prefixes the names (stage1_signal.fast.length), NOT the
raw param_space (fast.length; empirically: the bare name → UnknownKnob).
Only the sweep verb, which owns the wrapping, can print the names the user
will actually pass; a shared blueprint_axis_probe single-sources the probe
for both the sweep terminal and --list-axes, so listed == swept by
construction (and stays correct across #159's harness retirement).

Boss-signed on grounding-check PASS (independent, fresh-context; one BLOCK
raised + fixed: the malformed-sweep .expect panic-path is now pinned by a
this-cycle E2E over unknown_node.json, not an untested current-behaviour
claim). Engine/registry untouched (invariants 1/8/9).

Brummel ebebc2401b audit(0095): cycle close — MC over a loaded blueprint; ledger refreshed (C18/C21); rm ephemeral spec/plan
Architect drift review (scope cec7811..HEAD, the sole gate — no regression
script) returned drift-clean with positive What-holds:
- invariants 8/9: the whole cycle is aura-cli (main.rs + cli_run.rs + ephemeral
  docs); nothing entered aura-engine/aura-registry; FamilyKind::MonteCarlo,
  monte_carlo, append_family, mc_member_reports are pre-existing seams reused.
- invariant 1 / C1: draws run disjoint-parallel via the engine monte_carlo seam
  (seed-input order, no within-sim concurrency); bit-identity proven by the
  reproduce round-trip (unit + E2E).
- the C1 lockstep is a single shared fn: synthetic_walk_sources (one fixed
  SyntheticSpec) is called by BOTH the persist path and the reproduce MonteCarlo
  branch; pip is lockstepped too (both pass DataSource::Synthetic).
- the sweep-sibling pattern matches: Result<McFamily,String> + boundary render.
- scope honesty: WF deferral (#173, dep #169) and synthetic-walk-DGP (#172) are
  named in the spec + feat body, not silent.

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

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

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

Brummel 7116660fe8 spec: 0095 monte-carlo over a loaded blueprint (boss-signed)
The MC half of #170 (World/C21): aura mc <closed blueprint.json> --seeds N
builds a FamilyKind::MonteCarlo family from a loaded closed blueprint, each
seed drawing a distinct synthetic price walk (the mc_family pattern), sharing
one topology_hash, written once to the content-addressed store (the 0094 hook)
so aura reproduce re-derives it bit-identically.

Scope narrowed from #170's two verbs by two read-only review gates:
- spec-skeptic: a loaded-blueprint 'walkforward' with no in-sample refit under
  the verb name that hard-wired walkforward uses for real IS-optimization is a
  guarantee collision -> walk-forward deferred to #173 (deps #169 axis-discovery).
- grounding-check: there is no per-knob declared-default mechanism and the raw
  bind path panics on arity mismatch -> MC runs a CLOSED blueprint over the empty
  point (as aura run does), rejecting an open blueprint with a named error + exit 2.

Grounding-check PASS on the revised spec; decisions logged on #170.

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

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

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

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

Ephemeral spec/plan git-rm'd per the lifecycle convention; durable rationale is in
the ledger. The World/C21 milestone stays open (#170 remains).

Iteration 1 (acceptance 2, the heart): the content-addressed blueprint store
(Registry::put_blueprint/get_blueprint under runs/blueprints/), the store write
at the sweep persist seam, the extracted shared run_blueprint_member, and
`aura reproduce <family-id>` re-deriving every persisted member bit-identically

Brummel 4b6bc52794 spec: 0094 content-addressed reproduction (boss-signed)
Restore C18 reproducibility for generated (blueprint-sweep) runs. Since cycle
0093 a sweep member's topology is a generated data value, so commit alone no
longer identifies the graph and the manifest is not a complete re-derivation
recipe (#158).

Design: content-address the topology. The canonical blueprint JSON is stored
once, keyed by the topology_hash the manifest already carries (cycle 0092),
under runs/blueprints/<hash>.json (a dumb bytes-by-key store in aura-registry,
no sha2 dep — the reproduce path's bit-identical compare is the integrity
check). `aura reproduce <family-id>` loads each member's blueprint by hash,
re-bootstraps with the member's params/window/seed, re-runs, and asserts the
metrics are bit-identical (C1). acc-1 (two paths -> same content id) via a
minimal `graph introspect --content-id`; acc-3 (Tier-1-stable id) composes the
#156 omit-defaults pin.

Derived forks (logged on #158): content-address (not carry-inline) — keeps the
manifest tiny (C18) and dedups one topology across a family (C11/C12); hash
domain = signal-only this cycle (the scaffolding is not yet blueprint-data,
C24), boundary documented, whole-harness id deferred (#156/#159).

Engine untouched (C9); store + hash off the frozen engine (invariant 8).

correct, consistent with the cycle-1 #158 signal-only scope; append_family/

stdout uses family_member_line with family_id, run_sweep-consistent.

Cycle 2 of the World/C21 milestone (#166): `aura sweep <blueprint.json> --axis

existing stage1-r sweep machinery with the signal source swapped to cycle-1's

carries the shared topology_hash.

Derivable extension, not a fork (recon + grounding confirm): the sweep is by-name
param-space-driven (SweepBinder.axis / resolve_axes / bootstrap_with_cells), so a
loaded blueprint's param_space slots in; wrap_stage1r nests an arbitrary signal;
append_family is blueprint-agnostic. Scoped to sweep (the keystone family); MC /
walk-forward over a loaded blueprint are the same machinery per verb and follow as
a fast follow-on. Decisions recorded on #166.

What holds (architect, evidence of review): the stage1_signal/wrap_stage1r split

green; the STAGE1_R_SMA_* constants keep the hashed signal == the executed signal);
sha2 + the topology_hash helper live in aura-cli only, aura-engine stays sha2-free
(invariant 8 / C16); the resolver resolves the closed std_vocabulary set, unknown
type -> UnknownNodeType, no registry (invariant 9); topology_hash is a correct
Tier-1 optional and the RunManifest <-> RunManifestRead read-mirror both carry it.

Resolved: ledger refreshed (C24 Status — the cycle-0092 run-from-blueprint
realization + the topology_hash #158 anchor landing; #158 reframed from "premature"
to "field landed, full reproduction remains"). Drift filed forward: #167
(single-source the stage1-r suffix-remapping lockstep — debt-med), and a scope note

Cycle 1 of the World/C21 milestone (#165): `aura run <blueprint.json>` loads a
serialized C24 signal blueprint, wraps it in the existing Stage-1-R run
scaffolding via a shared seam extracted from run_stage1_r, compiles + bootstraps
+ runs, and emits a RunReport whose RunManifest carries a new Tier-1-optional
topology_hash (SHA256 of the canonical blueprint form, #158 anchor).

A serialized blueprint is a SIGNAL (sinks/brokers/data/clock out of the
round-trippable set, C24), so aura run WRAPS the loaded signal in a runnable
harness — the same wrap the Rust path does, shared as one function so
"bit-identical to the Rust path" is the same seam over the same signal. The
round-trip bit-identity is already proven (blueprint_serde_e2e.rs); cycle 1
lifts it to the CLI + adds topology_hash.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brummel cb558519b0 spec: 0090 blueprint forward-compat two-tier discipline (boss-signed)
Iteration within the C24 topology-as-data milestone (#156). Codifies the
blueprint format's additive forward-compatibility under one discipline:
Tier-1 (additive-optional) = serde-default silent-ignore, no version bump,
C1 default-equals-prior-behaviour; Tier-2 (must-understand: new node type,
edge semantics, structural-axis kind) = bump format_version so an old reader
refuses cleanly rather than building a different graph.

Most of #156 already shipped with #155 (cycle 0087): the format_version
envelope, omit-defaults canonical form, and both Tier-2 load-path refusals
(LoadError::UnsupportedVersion / UnknownNodeType) are present and green.
The genuine remainder is one unproven property — forward-tolerance of an
unknown optional field on the current loader — plus codifying the discipline
in the LoadError doc and the C24 ledger entry. Not a new mechanism.

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

deliverable). refs #156

Brummel 7ad7f58798 audit(0089): cycle close — record acyclicity lockstep + C24 ledger refresh; rm ephemeral spec/plan
Cycle-close audit for the /boss run that followed up the cycle-0088 construction
fieldtest (#161 cycle-reject + #162 diagnostics-by-identifier). Regression gate:
full workspace suite green (0 failed).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed (lifecycle convention): docs/specs/0088-*,
docs/plans/0088-*.

Brummel ea1ca32dbd feat(0088): §A shared gate predicates — edge_kind_check, resolution helpers, try_bind
Iteration-1 §A of the construction service (#157): the surface-agnostic shared
predicates the eager op-script path and the holistic finalize gates both call —
no second validator (C24).

- edge_kind_check (blueprint.rs): the per-edge producer/consumer kind check,
  lifted verbatim out of validate_wiring's edge loop into a pub(crate) fn that
  validate_wiring now calls — behaviour-preserving (same Bootstrap(KindMismatch)
  variant; the existing compile-time gate test stays green).
- resolve_input_slot / resolve_output_field (builder.rs): the exactly-one-match
  name→index resolution extracted as pub(crate) fns over (&NodeSchema, &str), so
  the runtime-String op-script names share GraphBuilder's resolution; GraphBuilder
  delegates and maps to the unchanged BuildError variants.
- try_bind + BindOpError (aura-core node.rs): the fallible Result twin of bind
  (bind keeps its panic contract and pinned messages verbatim; try_bind is a
  separate method reporting the same three conditions as values).
- check_param_namespace_injective + validate_wiring widened to pub(crate) for the
  finalize-stage reuse by the upcoming GraphSession::finish (§B).

Partial iteration: §B (the GraphSession/Op/replay surface + introspection) and
the §A→§B integration land next (plan Tasks 4-8). compile_with_params /
check_ports_connected are behaviourally unchanged. Full suite green; clippy clean.

Plan correction folded in: Task 3's test originally referenced aura_std::Sma —
infeasible inside aura-core (aura-std depends on aura-core; the reverse edge is a
dependency cycle). Adapted to a local PrimitiveBuilder probe with identical
assertions.

replayable by-identifier op-script that builds a runnable blueprint through

(no second validator, C24).

Surface-agnostic core = an eager/holistic gate split: the per-op-decidable
checks (name resolution, edge kind-match, the >1-cover DoubleWiredPort arm,
param bind) fire eagerly at the offending op; the only-at-end-decidable checks
(0-cover UnconnectedPort totality, DuplicateParamPath injectivity, root-role
boundness) stay holistic at finalize. Both cadences call the SAME extracted
predicates. Plus build-free introspection over the closed std_vocabulary
(enumerable companion) and a partial document's unwired slots. The JSON op-list

Brummel 468fbae62b audit(0087): cycle close — drift-clean after C24/C9 realization note; rm ephemeral spec/plan
Architect drift review of cycle 0087 (#155, the C24 blueprint-serialization-and-
loader first cut). What holds (confirmed against the diff): C17 / no-RustAst (the
format carries only type identity + name + bound params + topology; the build
closure is dropped and re-derived, no node logic in the data); invariant 9 /
domain-free engine (injected resolver, the closed match in aura-std, engine lib
deps aura-core + aura-analysis only — a compiled-in closed set, not a dynamic
registry); C9 round-trip / C23 bootstrap untouched (loader's terminal step is the
unchanged Composite::new -> bootstrap_with_params; validation deferred to the
existing gate, not bypassed).

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

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

Architect drift review (8d04a84..HEAD): clean, no drift/debt.
What holds (verified against code, not asserted):
- C10 cost contract preserved: the non-R-harness guard reads the *resolved*
  harness, so a `run` cost flag on sma/macd (incl. the implicit default) is
  exit-2 fail-loud, never a silent no-op; parse_nonneg_rate names the flag;
  the eight stage1-r cost goldens are byte-unchanged.
- The three edited realization notes are grounded: C12 Arc-sharing →
  aura-ingest/src/lib.rs:316; aura-std "~30 modules" → 30 node files;
  C15 Session emits only bars_since_open, matching the quoted source wording.
- project-layout.md rewrite complete: no residual exposure/realistic-broker.

Non-actionable scaling note (architect): the guard hardcodes Stage1R as the
sole R-harness, coupled to the "stage1-r only" note text — three sites move
together if a second R-harness ever lands; not in plausible next scope.

Regression gate: cargo test --workspace exit 0 (48 binaries, 737 passed, 0

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

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

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

Verified independently: cargo test -p aura-cli green, the eight stage1-r cost
goldens byte-unchanged; clippy -p aura-cli --all-targets -D warnings clean. Only
the grammar/usage strings and the previously-unguarded sma-cost path changed;

Three drift items surfaced by the 2026-06-29 design-goal audit, all
recording shipped reality into the ledger (no contract change):

- C12: cross-sim `Arc<[T]>` sharing is no longer "still open" — the
  sweep/MC/walk-forward families build members over one shared
  `Arc<DataServer>`/`FileCache`, so a window is parsed once and shared
  zero-copy across the disjoint sims (aura-ingest/src/lib.rs:316).
- open-threads: `aura-std` is no longer "doc-only" — ~30 node modules.
- C15: record that `Session` deliberately ships only `bars_since_open`
  (the node's own contract), the other two streams deferred (refs #154).

Brummel 8d04a845ee docs(glossary): align terminology with industry standard
Reconcile 68 terms against algotrading frameworks (LEAN, NautilusTrader,
backtrader, VectorBT, Zipline), quant-validation literature (Van Tharp,
Bailey & Lopez de Prado, White), and stream/dataflow vocabulary. Conservative
pass: extend Avoid lists with industry synonyms/homonyms and fold short
disambiguation notes into definitions; no canonical headings renamed.

Touched 18 entries. Avoid additions: overfit probability (PBO/CSCV), signal
(entry/exit signal, trade signal), position table (transactions, trade
blotter), conviction-based risk allocation (risk budgeting/parity/
contribution), run registry (model registry), session node (session window),
sign-agreement (market breadth). Disambiguation notes: broker vs fill/account
simulator, edge (wiring/trading/deploy senses), cycle (clock step vs DAG
loop), manifest vs Cargo.toml config, experiment vs MLflow container,
run-count (version counter), bias vs statistical bias, bootstrap vs
statistical bootstrap, deflated score anchored on the Deflated Sharpe Ratio,
Monte-Carlo (input not trade sequence), World vs Unreal UWorld.

Deferred (out of scope this pass): heading renames, a new `record` entry +
composite sense-split, the playground egui->web wording, the SoA Avoid line.

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

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

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

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

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

Brummel 2a8ee86489 plan: 0085 per-cycle-held accrual + CarryCost
Parent spec docs/specs/0085 (19ba1ec). 4 tasks: (1) ChargeMode + the PerHeldCycle
accrual branch on the shared CostRunner (AtClose arm kept verbatim for byte-identity)
+ 2 RED B-proof unit tests; (2) the CarryCost node (ConstantCost twin, PerHeldCycle)
+ lib.rs registration; (3) the --carry-per-cycle CLI flag threaded through every site
(incl. the easy-to-miss main.rs:4446 bin unit-test call site); (4) two capture-then-pin
net_expectancy_r goldens + the net_r_equity-bleeds-over-the-hold integration B-proof.

summarize_r and the CLI net_eq wiring are UNCHANGED; the cycle-0083/0084 goldens are
the byte-identity regression net.

Brummel 19ba1ec978 spec: 0085 per-cycle-held accrual + CarryCost (boss-signed)
Cycle 5 of milestone #148 (cost-model graph in R): the per-cycle-held accrual
mechanism — C10's "per-cycle-held factors accrue over the hold" — exercised by a
constant per-held-cycle CarryCost node and a --carry-per-cycle CLI flag.

Approach B (user-decided, "ja, mach B"): the headline net_r_equity curve bleeds
continuously over each hold, not stepping at close. Mechanism (derived, logged on
#148): the bleed lives in open_cost_in_r (grown each held cycle = accrued-so-far
mark-to-market); cost_in_r dumps the accrued total into cum at close. The
net_r_equity tap already subtracts both cum_cost_in_r and open_cost_in_r, so the
curve bleeds with NO change to summarize_r or the CLI net_eq wiring — and the
AtClose runner branch is kept verbatim, so every cycle-0083/0084 net_expectancy_r
golden stays byte-identical. ChargeMode is a property of the factor read by the one
shared CostRunner (no second runner type); CarryCost is a ConstantCost twin
differing only in charge_mode() -> PerHeldCycle.

Auto-signed under /boss on a grounding-check PASS (all 6 current-behaviour
assumptions ratified against named green tests). Reference issue #148 carries the
A/B fork (user decision), the minimal-scope decision (derived), and the mechanism
refinement (derived).

Brummel 39f9387c57 docs(glossary): add 'tap' — named recorded sink stream
Record-reality add: 'tap' is in consistent use across the code
(ColumnarTrace.tap, the --tap flag, the equity/exposure/net_r_equity/
r_equity taps) and the design ledger, but had no glossary entry. The
entry also draws the line the 'tap/sink' shorthand blurs: a sink is
the recording-role node, a tap is the named stream it records.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brummel 550d5ce947 plan: 0084 cost-graph composite-builder
Two tasks: (1) the cost_graph(Vec<PrimitiveBuilder>) -> Composite builder in
aura-composites + the GEOMETRY_WIDTH re-export from aura-std + two unit tests
pinning the exposed input-role set and the 3-field output; (2) the aura-cli
stage1_r_graph rewire onto cost_graph, deleting MAX_RUN_COST_NODES and
COST_SUM_PORTS. Runtime port names .leak()'d (the risk_executor precedent).
Behaviour-preserving: the cycle-3 net_expectancy_r goldens are the regression net.
