claude 9c7f60b269 docs(ledger): C29 self-description contract -- INDEX entry + domain invariant 13
The cycle's design principle enters the ledger: every closed-vocabulary
entry the binary exposes carries a one-line meaning behind one shared
deterministic shape gate (doc_gate) at three seams -- compile/unit for
engine-shipped entries, load for native node crates, register for the
content-addressed store (documents: an additive-optional gated
description). Forbids the engine evaluating description text (C17 /
invariant 10), any influence on execution/identity/determinism (C1),
retroactive invalidation of registered artifacts, and machine-invented
meaning lines. Why: the audience is headless LLM agents (#319); field
evidence #314 showed schema knowledge being recovered by CAS forensics
from the release binary -- the removed failure class.

All spec acceptance criteria are now met across the four iterations of
this cycle (core carrier + std texts; domain threading; load seam;
register seam + op-script doc slot + document description).

claude bd0c557f16 docs(ledger, glossary): tap-subscribers cycle tidy — C8/C27/C28 lifts, tap subscription vocabulary
Cycle-close audit for the #283/#77 tap-subscribers cycle
(09994b8..6e3f394). Architect review: code contract-clean; what
holds — C1/C7/C8 (empty-output caller-built consumers, (Timestamp,
Cell) zero-heap payload, lifecycle hooks inside the sequential loop,
byte-identical twin-run and streamed-vs-legacy byte-equality pins),
C28 (assembly-crate placement of the writer-holding consumer,
c28_layering guard green), C25 (registry growth = new Rust entry,
data-expressible Named form, roster-enumerating refusals). All drift
items were doc lifts, resolved in this commit:

- C8: the lifecycle is now a symmetric pair — initialize() as
  finalize's start-of-stream mirror (infallible by signature;
  acquire-in-initialize, degrade-to-inert, surface-once-at-finalize);
  history sidecar records the refinement and the #77 resolution the
  old Deferred paragraph still carried as open.
- C27: Guarantee and Current state now describe the shipped model —
  tap plan (Named{label, params} | Live) over the layered fold
  registry, BOTH entry points (run_signal_r AND run_measurement) on
  the one shared wiring pair, record streaming at constant memory.
- C28: aura-runner now defines one graph node of its own (the
  in-graph record consumer — exactly the graph-meets-persistence
  assembly position); the #297 refusal-site count grows ~20 → ~24
  (the four tap-plan refusals, already typed before the exit).
- glossary §tap: the subscription/fold-registry sense added; Avoid
  line steers probe/monitor/scope away from the observation slot.

Correction on 6e3f394's body: "no Probe symbol is introduced
anywhere" — introduced is the operative word; the pre-existing
aura-core test fixture `struct Probe` stays, as the cycle's design
record specified.

#307 (binary trace format). Cycle spec/plan working files discarded.

claude 8688a60ded docs(ledger): split the design ledger into an INDEX map, per-contract live files, and history sidecars
The single-file ledger had grown to 2968 lines / ~42k tokens, mixing
current design law with accreted history: 59 cycle-stamped realization
blocks, 18 [HISTORY] passages, 22 supersession markers, and the C10 /
C22 / C24 reframe sagas layered several supersessions deep. A
code-grounding audit (31 agents, adversarially verified) confirmed 11
defects stated as current truth: stale crate homes from the C28 #288
roster split (cost nodes, PositionManagement, PositionEvent, Session),
the renamed InputSpec->PortSpec, the pre-#241 project model in C16 and
the open-threads section, a stale HarnessKind retirement deferral in
C24, and three C28-internal inconsistencies.

New shape, per the ailang precedent:

- INDEX.md stays the sole addressable entry point: foundation, external
  components, a C-id-keyed contract map (one line per contract), and
  only the genuinely open architectural threads.
- contracts/cNN-<slug>.md carries each contract's current truth only:
  Guarantee / Forbids / Why with ratified refinements integrated, plus
  a code-anchored Current state. All confirmed defects are fixed here;
  crate anchors were re-verified against the tree.
- contracts/cNN-<slug>.history.md (18 sidecars) and INDEX.history.md
  preserve every superseded block verbatim, stamps and issue refs
  intact, under a frozen-record banner. Nothing was deleted: superseded
  design intent remains an addressable working-tree artifact, off the
  per-cycle audit walk.
- Ledger discipline is now stated in INDEX.md: live files are edited in
  place at cycle close, superseded text moves verbatim to the sidecar,
  and a supersession marker in a live file is itself an audit finding.

Every contract file was verified against its old text by an independent
zero-loss pass (statement-by-statement) plus a code-accuracy spot check;
C-ids and contract titles are unchanged, so existing C-id citations in
code, tests, and issues resolve as before.

claude 757e3ac1bd feat: the document-first surface closes — show read-back, typed stops, bare plateau
The #300 keystone cycle: the residual run-quintet flags were already
document vocabulary on the --real arm (#210/#220); this closes the loop
and ratifies the surface.

- `aura process|campaign show <content-id>` prints a registered
  document's canonical bytes (print!, no framing — #164), so
  generate -> retrieve -> hand-extend -> re-register needs no direct
  store filesystem access. Refusals reuse the store-hint prose, exit 1.
- walkforward/mc --stop-length/--stop-k become clap-typed i64/f64
  (generalize's form); stop_knob_or and its parse_csv_list helper are
  deleted (multi-value/invalid input is now clap's exit-2 rejection —
  the two dissolved-verb refusal tests retarget, the type-dead unit
  test is deleted).
- --select accepts bare `plateau` as the documented default
  plateau:mean (#227 carry); document schema untouched — the two
  spellings generate content-id-identical campaigns (test-pinned).
- family.rs's quadruplicated demo stop literal collapses onto one
  DEFAULT_STOP const (maintainer-lens drift finding).
- Ledger: C25's "which projection next" line resolved (document-first
  delivered, per-verb identity re-ratified — F8; host/MCP stay
  demand-driven); C18 records the read-back.

Design triage, fork decisions F1-F8, and the auto-signed spec live on
the reference issue. Verification: full workspace suite 1482 passed /
0 failed with the real GER40 archive exercised (the byte-identity
round-trips ran, not skipped); clippy -D warnings clean.

claude 4ed6455b64 fix: load_family resolves the enumerated family name, refusing ambiguity (#298)
GREEN for 78e68e6's RED. aura_runner::reproduce::load_family resolved
only the derived C18 handle '{family}-{run}' while the registry's
enumeration exposes the bare name factor — the natural
list-then-reproduce library workflow dead-ended (found by the #295
fieldtest; predates the extraction byte-identically). Resolution now:
exact-handle match keeps first precedence; a bare name naming exactly
one stored run resolves as fallback; an ambiguous name (several runs,
or a name/handle collision) refuses without guessing, listing the
candidate handles. Two additional tests pin the ambiguity refusal and
the handle-precedence-on-collision semantics.

Ledger record-reality rider: the C18 #158 paragraph claimed reproduce
refuses an unknown id with exit 2; the code has always exited 1 —
correct per C14's partition (the id names missing recorded state, a
runtime failure, not a usage error). The paragraph now records the
actual behaviour and the new name-fallback semantics.

Verification: cargo test --workspace green (1477 passed, 0 failed);
clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean.

claude 5006766579 audit: shell-boundary cycle close — drift resolved in-commit
Cycle-close audit (architect: drift_found; design core clean). What
holds, architect-confirmed with the guard run and the diff read in
full: the shell boundary is real and enforced (full-workspace
c28_layering incl. completeness + shell-content checks, acceptance
grep clean — no member-run symbol left under crates/aura-cli/src);
aura-campaign keeps zero production dependency on the runner; the IC
move is verbatim against the anchor; the new library-only E2E pins C1
(two independent runners, byte-identical RunReport).

Drift items, all resolved as fixes in this commit:
- design ledger: the C28 status sentence "No crate exists yet for
  measurement" contradicted this cycle's own phase-3 done line — now
  records aura-measurement as seeded (#295), execution still unbuilt.
- the #147 registry-dispatch acceptance tests (IC deflation null,
  seeded determinism, cross-vocabulary refusal) were pure library
  properties stranded in the shell's test module — relocated to
  aura-measurement/tests/registry_dispatch.rs (engine/registry as
  dev-only, layering-exempt edges), per the cycle's own tests-move-
  with-their-module rule.
- aura-runner's direct production edge on the external data-server
  tree was structurally invisible (the direction table checks aura-*
  keys only) and unrecorded — the C28 assembly prose now names it, and
  a new c28_layering test pins the external tree's entry points to
  exactly {aura-ingest, aura-runner, aura-cli}.
- the C28 shell prose named three buckets that did not cover two real
  shell residents — it now names the op-script construction front-end
  (translation) and the `aura new` scaffolder (authoring-tooling,
  shell-resident like rendering until a second consumer wants it).

Deliberately deferred, tracker homes exist (not drift): #297
(process::exit sites in aura-runner's single-run verb paths), #294
(IC duplicate-timestamp semantics), #288-era rustdoc unresolved-link
warnings in aura-std/aura-backtest (pre-existing byte-identically at
the anchor).

No regression scripts are configured (the bench is report-only); the
architect review is the gate. Verification: cargo test --workspace
green (1474 passed, 0 failed) incl. the relocated registry-dispatch
tests and the new data-server guard; clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean.

claude 170c6c82dc feat: full-workspace C28 guard — the shell boundary is structural (#295 part 2)
Completes the shell-boundary cycle (tasks 10-13):

- c28_layering now enumerates the FULL workspace: every crate row is
  reconciled against its real production [dependencies], a completeness
  assertion pins the table to the on-disk crates/ set (a new crate can no
  longer escape the guard silently), the shell/assembly imported-by-
  nothing rule is asserted, and a shell-content check pins aura-cli to
  no-[lib] plus a closed allow-list of argv/translation/presentation
  modules. A new domain module in the shell now fails the suite.
- Ledger amendments: C28 gains the assembly position (aura-runner) and
  the corrected import-rule prose (the ratified aura-campaign ->
  aura-backtest production edge, #291/#292); phase 3 is marked done with
  the #297 process::exit residual named; a provenance note records this
  as structural-debt closure, not a demonstrated downstream blocker.
  C25 records the control-surface decision: the text artifact vocabulary
  is canonical, every control surface (CLI executor verbs, a future
  host, an MCP face, a World program) is a projection/executor over it —
  the which-projection-next ranking deliberately open on #295. C14 gets
  the executor-face amendment, C26 the binding-module relocation.
- aura_campaign::MemberRunner's doc names the shipped default
  implementor (aura-runner::DefaultMemberRunner) while the column keeps
  zero dependency on it.
- New library-only E2E fixture (aura-runner/tests/world_member_run_e2e):
  runs the canonical member recipe over a tiny synthetic archive with no
  aura-cli in the link graph, and pins C1 determinism (two independently
  constructed runners produce a byte-identical RunReport).
- campaign_run.rs module doc: intra-doc MemberRunner link re-anchored to
  aura_campaign::MemberRunner (the impl moved out with part 1).

Verification: cargo test --workspace green (1473 passed, 0 failed);
clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; cargo doc clean of
NEW warnings (the five unresolved-link warnings in aura-std/aura-backtest
predate this cycle byte-identically at the anchor — #288-era doc drift,
left for the cycle audit).

claude 2cf4574e33 audit: cycle metric-vocabulary tidy — ledger records the retired #147 deferral
Cycle-close audit (architect: drift_found, design core clean). What holds,
architect-confirmed: C18 bit-identity for RunMetrics (prose derived
byte-identically, rng order preserved, registry suite unchanged); the C10
wall (monomorphic R-gates, r_based in the R vocabulary, cross-vocabulary
refusal tested both ways — no leak); C28 direction (trait in aura-analysis,
vocabulary supplied from the outer rungs, zero Cargo edge changes); C1
determinism pinned through the generic path.

Drift items, all resolved as fixes in this commit:
- design ledger: the C28 #147 disposition now records item 2 SHIPPED (the
  A1 cut) with A2 still deliberately deferred; the #136 one-implementor
  clause carries a supersession note (the IC is the second implementor).
- seven stale doc comments describing the pre-#147 or mid-cycle state
  (analysis trait + estimator docs, registry check_r_metric C9 claim,
  engine re-export note, campaign PER_MEMBER_METRICS roster note,
  member-seam guard comment, research vocabulary note) updated to the
  shipped state.
- R_BASED_METRICS is now oracle-pinned against RunMetricKey::r_based()
  in the vocabulary test (it feeds the NonRMetric refusal prose; a
  divergence would have misreported the R-gate silently).

Noted, not amended (history stays): commit 6744f67's body says 'three
syntax-only edits' where the test module actually took five.

No regression scripts are configured (the bench is report-only); the
architect review is the gate. Verification: extended vocabulary test,
campaign suites, analysis/research suites green; clippy --workspace
-D warnings clean.

claude a56ab7859d refactor: cut the engine's backtest-metrics edge via RunReport<M>
C28 phase 2 (Stratification); realizes item 1 of the deferred #147. The
engine's production surface no longer names a backtest-metric type:

- RunReport becomes generic over its metric payload M; sweep/mc/walkforward/
  blueprint thread the parameter (SweepPoint<M>, SweepFamily<M>, WindowRun<M>,
  WalkForwardResult<M>). RunManifest stays concrete and engine-owned (its
  selection: Option<FamilySelection> embeds the foundation-grade analysis type).
- summarize and the MC assembly (McDraw/McFamily/McAggregate/RBootstrap/
  r_bootstrap/monte_carlo) move to aura-backtest - McAggregate::from_draws reads
  RunMetrics fields by name, so generifying it is the phase-6 metric-vocabulary
  abstraction (#147 item 2), still deferred; wholesale relocation is the honest
  cut. The concrete instantiation lives in aura-backtest as
  `type RunReport = aura_engine::RunReport<RunMetrics>` + sibling aliases.
- the statistics kernel (MetricStats/quantile/resample_block/SplitMix64) moves
  to the aura-analysis foundation; the engine re-imports it (inner->foundation,
  legal) and re-exports it so existing consumers stay source-compatible.

Dependency inversion in one commit: aura-engine drops aura-backtest from
[dependencies] (back to dev-deps for its SimBroker/RunMetrics test fixtures);
aura-backtest gains aura-engine. Cycle-free for lib targets - the cycle closes
only through the engine's dev-dep edge, the pattern aura-vocabulary already
uses. aura-backtest reaches the kernel transitively through the engine
re-export, so no aura-backtest -> aura-analysis edge exists (the C28 ladder
permits backtest -> {core, engine} only). run_indexed / SplitMix64::next_f64
widened pub(crate) -> pub for cross-crate use.

Consumers (registry/campaign/cli/composites/ingest/bench) rewired by import
path only, no call-site logic changed. The c28_layering structural test extends
to the full ladder: aura-analysis (no aura-* deps), aura-engine ⊆ {core,
analysis}, aura-backtest ⊆ {core, engine}.

Behaviour-preserving: 1448/0 tests, clippy -D warnings clean, serde shapes
byte-identical (C18 - RunReport<M> keeps field order manifest,metrics; the
CLI pre-serialized-splice contract unchanged), moved code traceable via git
rename detection. Cycle-introduced broken intra-doc links fixed.

claude 94aaa4cde8 refactor: split aura-analysis into statistics and backtest metrics
C28 phase 5 (Stratification): the backtest reductions - RunMetrics, RMetrics,
summarize_r, r_metrics_from_rs, and the position-event table - move verbatim
into aura-backtest::metrics, beside the position_management producer whose
record layout they read (the r_col/cost_col lockstep contract is now
intra-crate; its stale "aura-std" comment corrected). aura-analysis is reduced
to the domain-free half: the multiple-comparison hurdle math (inv_norm_cdf,
expected_max_of_normals) and the selection-provenance types
(FamilySelection/SelectionMode - kept beside the statistics so
RunManifest.selection embeds a foundation-grade type), [dependencies] = serde
only.

The engine re-export surface is name-unchanged (report.rs re-imports from both
crates), so no indirect consumer needed a source edit; aura-backtest moves from
aura-engine's dev-dependencies into [dependencies] as a commented TRANSIENT
widening of the C28 violation, removed by the phase-2 edge cut on this branch.
The campaign drift guard imports its pinned types from their new source
crates. Behaviour-preserving: 1448/0 tests, clippy -D warnings clean, serde
shapes byte-identical (C18), moved code traceable via git copy detection.

claude b39fd63396 refactor: split the aura-std roster into C28 layer crates
Phase 4 of the Stratification milestone. aura-std held four C28 ladder
layers in one roster; this cuts them into layer-aligned, aura-core-only
node crates so the import direction is enforced by the crate graph:

- aura-std        — engine nodes only (arithmetic/logic/rolling + sinks)
- aura-market     — session, resample
- aura-strategy   — bias, stops, sizer, cost-model machinery
- aura-backtest   — sim_broker, position_management
- aura-vocabulary — the relocated closed std_vocabulary roster

Node modules move verbatim (byte-identical renames); consumers are
rewired by import path only. A new structural test
(aura-vocabulary/tests/c28_layering.rs) asserts each node crate's
[dependencies] stay within its C28-permitted inner set, catching the
acyclic-but-outward violation the compiler misses.

Behaviour byte-identical: full workspace suite green (1448 tests), no
golden edited, clippy -D warnings clean. C28 Status block updated.

Codify the layer model settled with the user: an inner-to-outer ladder
engine -> market -> {measurement | strategy} -> backtest -> execution,
the research-process column beside the ladder, the shell outside. States
the import rule (inner never imports outer; measurement/strategy
siblings; column imported by no ladder crate; shell imports all;

Status recording the one hard production violation (engine -> analysis

Also restore the "### C19" header, deleted as collateral of ebe8568

claude a5e02ff541 docs: SessionFrankfurt output semantics + declared-tap authoring (#285)
Surfaced by the measurement-milestone fieldtest: a downstream author
reaching for session anchoring or declared taps had no public statement of
either — the semantics lived only in node source / the design ledger.

SessionFrankfurt / Session output semantics:
- glossary `session node`: corrected — it claimed three streams
  (`bars_since_open`, `in_session`, `session_open_ts`), but the shipped node
  emits ONE `i64` field `bars_since_open`. Now states the real contract: the
  count of completed bar-periods since the local (tz-aware, DST-correct)
  session open, close-instant indexed (09:15->1, 09:45->3; pre-open <=0), with
  the Frankfurt 09:00 Europe/Berlin open + `period_minutes` knob + the
  value-ignored `trigger`.
- authoring-guide: a "Session anchoring: the SessionFrankfurt preset"
  subsection — schema (trigger / period_minutes / bars_since_open), the
  close-instant multiples, the EqConst gating pattern, DST handling, and the
  add-snippet. Verified against `aura graph introspect --node SessionFrankfurt`.

Declared-tap authoring (C27 / the #284 tap op):
- authoring-guide: the `tap` op-table row (seven ops -> eight) + a worked
  "declaring a measurement tap" example. The example is verified: piping it
  through `aura graph build` emits
  `taps:[{"name":"spread","from":{"node":2,"field":0}}]`.
- design ledger op-list (INDEX.md): a `tap` bullet (seven verbs -> eight);
  also corrected the `expose` "only verb that keeps `as`" claim — `tap` keeps
  it too.
- README op-kind enumeration: adds `tap`.

Docs only; no code change. Both worked examples were run through the built
`aura` binary; the SessionFrankfurt schema was checked against introspect.

claude 07c94433f3 audit: cycle-close tidy for #191 — C18 realization note for the identity index
Cycle #191 (identity-ref index) closes drift-resolved. Architect review
held: results stay scan-identical via verify-on-hit (the same-identity-
twin choice was order-unspecified before and stays unspecified in kind);
zero caller/write-path/engine changes; the #276 append-lock discipline
correctly extended to the fourth JSONL path. No regression scripts are

Drift items and resolution:

  refs by store scan" line was stale -> this commit adds the #191
  realization note and dates the scan wording (fix, ledger-only).
- The repair pass grew the sidecar without bound while same-identity
  twins coexisted (per-entry comparison against a mid-walk-stale
  snapshot) -> fixed in-cycle via RED pin 35865bb + collect-then-diff-
  append fix aa94f51; suite 1347/0, clippy clean.

Resolutions for the architect's four drift items (all fix/document, none
ratified away):

- [medium] execute enforced family-name uniqueness only via the CLI's
  validate tier: preflight now refuses duplicate campaign instruments
  itself (defense in depth for direct callers), RED-first
  (execute_refuses_duplicate_instruments).
- [medium] the parallel cell loop's C1 relationship lived only in the
  git-ignored spec: C1 gains a realization note (docs/design/INDEX.md)
  recording the chunked instrument-major schedule, the structural
  residency bound, and the two scheduling-dependent fatal-path carve-outs
  (fault attribution among completed cells; already-written family lines)
  — both inert and outside the success-path bit-identity.
- [low] the fatal-path orphan-line honesty is part of that note.
- [low] the --parallel-instruments zero-reject acceptance criterion had no
  protecting test: campaign_run_rejects_a_zero_parallel_instruments_bound
  pins clap's NonZeroUsize usage error (exit 2).

claude 9e30805fcc feat(cli,ledger): supply CLI run sources by role key; ledger note
closes #275

The CLI half of by-name source binding, plus the ledger record.

Every production run site that carries a ResolvedBinding — `run_signal_r`,
`run_blueprint_member` (sweep / reproduction), and the campaign re-run/trace path —
now keys its opened sources by role name via `key_supply(binding, sources)` and
drives the harness through `Harness::run_bound` instead of the positional
`run(sources)`. `key_supply` pairs each opened column with its declared role from
`binding.entries()` — the one place open-order and role-order meet, made explicit so
`bind_sources` verifies the wiring↔supply role match by name rather than by a
maintained canonical-order convention.

Because the current single-binding CLI derives both the `SourceSpec` roles (via
`wrap_r`) and the supply roles (via `key_supply`) from the same `binding.entries()`,
the bind cannot fail on this path — so the call site asserts the invariant with
`.expect`, matching the adjacent `close_handle.expect("ResolvedBinding guarantees a
close entry")` idiom. The named `SourceBindError` refusal path lives in
`bind_sources` for future decoupled-supply callers (independently-built multi-feed /
recorded sources, #124), where a mismatch becomes reachable.

Ledger: a C4 realization note (supply resolved by name into declaration order, so
supply order is no longer load-bearing; the tie-break guarantee is unchanged) and a
scoped C23 refinement (a `SourceSpec.role` is load-bearing for source binding; every
other flat-graph name stays a non-load-bearing raw-index symbol).

The fieldtest-corpus `SourceSpec` sweep (planned Task 5) was reverted: the fieldtest
packages already fail to build against the current engine API for reasons unrelated
to `SourceSpec` (bootstrap arity, removed `InputSpec`, drifted
`Recorder`/`SimBroker`/`RMetrics`, renamed `Scalar` helpers) — pre-existing bit-rot
from earlier cycles. A partial `SourceSpec` migration neither revives nor further
breaks them, so the scope decision to touch them (premised on their being
otherwise-buildable) was withdrawn; reviving the corpus is separate from #275.

Verification: `cargo test --workspace` green (0 failed; the real-data OHLC channel
e2e exercises the migrated `run_bound` path byte-identically); `cargo build

claude f0aadb54f8 audit: cycle-close tidy for the #256/#272 latecomer block
Drift review (architect) over a55e4cf..HEAD found the cycle substantially
clean — C25 closed vocabulary, C1 determinism/behaviour-preservation, the
additive-serde widening, exhaustive StageBlock matches, and the uniform exit-3
convention all hold. Two drift items resolved:

- RATIFY: the `SilencedPanic` member-boundary panic-hook silencer (added by the
  #272 implementer, not named in the spec) is a legitimate mechanism — it keeps
  "recorded, campaign continues" observably true on stderr by suppressing the
  default crash backtrace around each contained `catch_unwind`. Its mutex
  serialises only the ref-count/hook-swap (O(1)), never member computation, so
  C1 disjoint-parallel determinism is preserved. Documented in the ledger's
  #272 realization paragraph rather than left as undocumented global state.
- FIX: `cell_fault_kind_label` hand-wrote the snake_case strings that must match
  `CellFaultKind`'s serde `rename_all` (two sources of truth an aggregate over
  campaign_runs.jsonl could silently diverge from). Pinned with a test asserting
  each label equals the serialized form; the efficient `&'static str` stays.

(The #272 commit's own concern-driven doc fixes and the wf panic-containment
test landed in d3b1a1a; this commit carries only the two audit-phase items.)

Suite: cargo test --workspace green (1311 tests, 0 failed); clippy clean.

claude d3b1a1aead feat(campaign,registry,cli): per-cell fault isolation — a failed cell is recorded, never a global abort
closes #272

A member fault (no-data, bind, run, or a caught panic) is now a recorded
per-cell outcome instead of aborting the whole campaign and discarding every
already-computed cell. The incident that motivated this (a 22-instrument
campaign lost ~36 healthy cells ~6.7 min in because Copper had an archive gap)
now completes: the healthy cells persist, the gap cell is recorded as failed,
and the run exits 3.

Direction (owner decision 2026-07-14): run to completion and report
compromised results; no coverage preflight, no window synthesis.

Containment granularity:
- The CELL for a sweep-stage member fault (a grid hole structurally
  compromises winner selection, so the whole cell fails).
- The FOLD for a walk_forward member fault (independent time windows): the
  surviving folds pool into the family, failed folds are recorded as
  StageRealization.window_faults, and the summary names the ratio.

- aura-registry: additive CellFault / CellFaultKind (closed:
  no_data|bind|run|panic|window) / WindowFault / CellCoverage, plus
  fault/coverage fields on CellRealization and window_faults on
  StageRealization — all serde-default-skipped, so pre-#272 campaign_runs
  lines parse and round-trip byte-identical.
- aura-campaign: run_cell returns a fault-annotated CellRealization instead of
  Err (execute's accumulate-then-append-once tail is unchanged and now
  persists every healthy cell + the one run record); a `contain` split keeps
  ExecFault::Registry and doc-shape preflight faults global while Member/Window
  become per-cell/per-fold. Member panics are caught with
  catch_unwind(AssertUnwindSafe) at all three member-run sites (sweep IS/OOS)
  and recorded as MemberFault::Panic — a member panic no longer aborts the
  process. The wf stage partitions Registry faults (global) from Member/Window
  (per-fold) and filters faulted-fold placeholders (the
  "faulted-member-placeholder" broker sentinel) out of the persisted family.
- aura-cli: exec_fault_prose gains the Panic arm; CliMemberRunner::window_coverage
  derives effective bounds + interior gap months from the #264 archive
  primitives; present_campaign prints per-cell failure notes + a completion
  summary and threads the failed-cell count; a run with >=1 failed cell exits 3
  ("completed with failed cells") uniformly across `aura campaign run` and the
  dissolved sweep/walkforward/mc/generalize verbs (exit_on_campaign_result).
  Usage stays 2, refused-before-running stays 1, clean stays 0.

Tests: the global-abort pins flip to containment (execute + the two wf fault
tests → fold-containment + all-folds-fail-the-cell); new panic-containment
tests on both the sweep path (PanicRunner) and the wf path (this commit adds
the wf mirror the loop left uncovered); a new gapped-archive e2e (one covered
cell + one gap cell → exit 3); the ~14 CLI exit-1 pins move to the exit-3
register; a pre-#272-line byte-identical round-trip guard.

Suite: cargo test --workspace green (1309 tests, 0 failed); clippy clean.
Decision log: #272 comments (fork rationale, the fold Registry/Member split,
the placeholder sentinel, uniform exit-3).

Follow-up (minor, not blocking): the plan under-scoped Task 1 to aura-registry
though the additive fields also touch aura-campaign's exec.rs literals — the
loop absorbed it mechanically; a future plan for a cross-crate additive-field
change should scope every crate's construction sites in the first task.

claude ea4e79d73f feat(research,campaign,cli): std::grid — the enumerate-only leading stage
closes #256

Fork B (owner decision 2026-07-14): the dissolved walkforward/mc
translations' leading sweep executed the full grid over the whole campaign
window and persisted a Sweep family, yet only the enumerated parameter
points ever crossed the stage seam (the wf stage re-sweeps them per IS
window itself). The leading stage is now the fieldless vocabulary block
std::grid: it enumerates, executes nothing, persists nothing.

- aura-research: StageBlock::Grid ({"block":"std::grid"}), schema-strict
  parse arm (empty slot list: every key but "block" is refused by the
  generic unknown-slot check), PROCESS_BLOCKS entry, intrinsic-tier no-op
  arm; the vocabulary test's non-empty-slots guard carries a pinned
  std::grid-only exception (a nominal slot would misdescribe the
  vocabulary to describe_block consumers).
- aura-campaign: the inter-stage seam is a typed two-armed StageFlow
  (points-only vs executed members); gate / mc-per-survivor fence the
  points-only arm with defensive PipelineShape faults; preflight admits
  std::grid only as the first stage and only immediately before
  std::walk_forward (every other neighbor consumes executed reports).
- aura-cli: translate_walkforward / translate_mc lead with
  StageBlock::Grid; the two family-shape E2E pins flip to zero Sweep
  families; translate_generalize keeps its executed sweep(argmax) — its
  generalize stage consumes the argmax winner report as the cell nominee.
- docs: dated #256 amendment in the ledger's verb-dissolution narrative;
  the authoring-guide vocabulary transcript gains the std::grid line.

Behaviour preservation: the exact-grade real-data pins
(walkforward_real_e2e_pins_the_exact_current_grade,
mc_r_bootstrap_real_e2e_pins_the_exact_current_grade) pass unmodified —
survivor points reach the wf stage in the same odometer order as before.

Measured (the #256 acceptance measurement; debug build, real GER40 2025,
2x2 grid, `aura walkforward --real`, 3 runs each):
  before (a55e4cf): 6.27 / 6.18 / 6.18 s
  after:            4.52 / 4.49 / 4.45 s   (~ -27% wall clock)

Suite: cargo test --workspace green (0 failed); clippy clean.

claude d1b3a3dd31 feat(research,composites,cli,docs): vol_tf — the timescale-matched stop regime
The second risk-regime variant vol_tf{period_minutes, length, k}
computes the vol estimator over completed time buckets: an H1 signal
gets an H1-matched stop in the research matrix instead of a hand-scaled
minute stop (the issue's k-inflation workaround retires). Additive
externally-tagged serde (stored Vol documents keep their content ids);
the executor arm wires the VolTfStop primitive via the builder+bind
chain; validate checks period_minutes/length/k positivity per regime.

The member-manifest round-trip holds for both variants (C1): vol_tf
members stamp stop_period_minutes/stop_length/stop_k and the reproduce
path re-derives the VolTf stop whenever stop_period_minutes is present
— never a silent default-Vol fallback. The Regimes slot label and the
unit notes name the new variant (period_minutes IS the stop's
timescale); glossary, authoring guide, and design ledger record the
second variant. Default regime and sugar paths byte-untouched.

Coverage: node units (rollover-only emission, bucket-delta math, the
constant-|delta| correspondence with the per-cycle regime), executor
fold, serde/validate units, the manifest round-trip unit, and a
hostless two-regime e2e (distinct ordinals; vol_tf members stamp their
timescale, vol members do not).

claude bb0b0aeac2 feat(analysis,campaign,registry,cli): bootstrap net R through the process pipeline
The OOS bootstrap conduit RMetrics.trade_rs becomes net_trade_rs and
carries the COST-NETTED per-trade R (r − cost_in_r, trade order). Every
conduit consumer is thereby net-when-costed: the monte-carlo pooled-OOS
and per-survivor bootstraps, the walk-forward oos_r pooling, and the
deflation null-max — which previously compared a net observed statistic
against a gross-resampled null whenever a costed campaign selected on
net_expectancy_r. An uncosted run is bit-identical (empty cost stream
⇒ cost 0.0 per trade), so every existing golden pin stays green.

Design: one conduit, no knob — an explicit net: knob would let a costed
campaign silently produce a gross headline again (the exact misreading
of the issue's evidence). Per-member RMetrics scalar fields stay gross;
net_expectancy_r keeps its meaning. Wire shape unchanged (serde(skip)).
The net series is materialized as a separate expression in summarize_r;
the pinned-float expressions (net_sum, the SQN pair, the lockstep
r_metrics_from_rs copies) keep their tokens verbatim. Fork decisions
and rationales: issue #259 comments.

New coverage, both hostless over the synthetic SYMA archive: a costed
campaign twin shifts the pooled-OOS bootstrap (sweep→gate→wf→mc) and
every per-survivor bootstrap (sweep→mc) below its gross sibling, with
the trade population unchanged; a unit test pins the conduit as the
cost-netted series with the empty-stream degeneracy. Existing conduit
tests renamed with the field.

Verified: full workspace suite green (71 result blocks), clippy clean,
zero bare trade_rs tokens remain, ledger conduit prose updated in place.

claude 1ebb94c1b8 feat(engine,cli): run manifests stamp untouched bound defaults (closes #249)
RunManifest gains defaults: Vec<(String, Scalar)> — the wrap-prefixed
bound_param_space() of the signal, read after axis reopening, so a
bound param an axis overrode has already left the space and flows
through params instead (disjoint by construction; verified end to end:
a sweep member's overridden fast.length sits in params while
slow.length/bias.scale sit in defaults). params keeps its "what varied"
semantics and stays the reproduce input. One-directional serde
widening (#[serde(default)]) per the selection/instrument/topology_hash
idiom — old records deserialize with an empty defaults; unlike the
Option fields it always serializes, mirroring params. ~20
struct-literal sites across five crates gained the field
(compile-mandated breadth, no behaviour change at those sites).

The C14 ledger records the underlying decision (2026-07-13): generated
outcome records spend redundancy on direct readability (single writer,
cannot drift); authored intent artifacts admit none (every redundancy
is a drift site) — so the fix lands in the manifest, never the
blueprint.

Verification: RED test run_manifest_stamps_untouched_bound_defaults

-D warnings on the touched crates; binary-level sweep exclusivity

claude 487431d97d test(cli): migrate the _open references — closed twins for sweeps, fixtures for open semantics (closes #248)
The references to the relocated _open blueprints follow the plan's
two-way split: tests that only need a sweepable blueprint sweep the
closed twins via bound-override axes (#246) with their axis strings
byte-unchanged (the wrap prefix is the blueprint's internal name,
identical across twins); the 12 tests that genuinely exercise
open-param semantics (run/mc closed-guard refusals, subset-axes
MissingKnob, --list-axes open/bound line mix, gang dissolution and
campaign paths) read the fixtures under tests/fixtures/. The
research_docs/project_load store seeds sweep the closed twin (campaign
axis references resolve via the #246 reopen path); the INDEX.md history
note records the relocation.

Two deviations from the plan, both verified against the tree: doc
comments referencing the bare filename (no examples/ prefix) escaped
the global path swap and were reworded to stay truthful; the seed
variable open_bp was renamed closed_bp (the plan kept it, but the
rename touches only the binding and its uses and removes a
misdescription).

Verification: cargo test -p aura-cli --test cli_run (140 passed, 0
failed, real data exercised); --test research_docs; --test
project_load; the four byte-pinned exact grades unchanged; grep-clean
for examples/r_*_open.json across crates+docs; full workspace suite

the authored document; the retired axes-bind-only-open-knobs restriction

- CLAUDE.md invariant 9 amended end to end: a project is a directory
  anchored by a static Aura.toml, data-only by default; native node
  logic lives in attached node crates (the nodes/ antecedent removed —
  user decision 2026-07-12, re-opened by the role model's diagnosis).
- docs/project-layout.md reworked to the two tiers (data-only default
  tree + sibling node crate, workspace note under the crate half); the
  day-in-the-life walkthrough now attaches the project's node crate
  once and wires the namespace the shown command actually produces.
- docs/authoring-guide.md: data-only quickstart (closed run target,
  open sweep target) + `aura nodes new` as the native entry; section
  cross-reference updated.

inline-dissolved, C1 fit deterministic) but four lagging records, fixed

(fixed sizes are a ceiling on the sugar path); a #125 realization note
records the composite doc as a C23 debug symbol with its serde/identity/

the doc; GraphSession::finish states the deliberate absence of a
doc-carrying op-script surface (refs #125) instead of leaving the

Brummel aaca18c6f6 audit: net-r cycle close — ledger reconciled, drift items resolved
Architect review over dd23ea3..HEAD (the #234/#152 cycle, 6 commits).

What holds (architect-confirmed): CostSpec is a closed, deny-unknown-
fields vocabulary with typed slots mirroring RiskRegime, field names
conforming to the builders' ParamSpec names; cost-less docs hash
byte-identically (C18); cost threads through the single MemberRunner
seam so every campaign stage nets uniformly; costed families reproduce
bit-identically incl. Carry; the #221-deleted leg is rebuilt optional
(net = gross under the empty model); both cost_graph leaks replaced by
the interned single source (#152).

Resolved this close: [high] the C10 realization notes contradicted
shipped reality — the two 'wired on the run path via --cost-*' claims
carry superseded-annotations, the 0084 carried-debt note a discharged-
annotation, and a new cycle-net-r realization documents the campaign
cost block, the net-by-default decision, the manifest/reproduce
round-trip, and the returned net_r_equity tap; [medium] two dangling
persist_traces_r docstring references reworded to what exists;
[medium] the one-knob-per-cost-node invariant behind the manifest
round-trip is now unit-pinned (exactly one distinctly-named knob per
shipped builder).

Cycle spec and plan (git-ignored working files) discarded per
convention.

The acceptance proof: hl_channel — a causal Donchian channel (Delay(1)
excludes the current bar, C2) consuming high/low/close roles, built from
rostered vocabulary, shipped as the r_channel/r_channel_open example
pair (builder + regenerator + serialize pins, the r_* pattern). Proven
at three layers: a non-gated loaded-vs-carve equivalence over inline

Brummel fc9cf23b87 feat(cli,docs): ship the ganged open examples + document the gang construct (#61 tasks 7-8)
The two open examples now expose their author-intended single knobs — the
closed builders always bound these pairs to one value by hand; the open forms
falsely offered them as independent axes:
- r_breakout_open: channel_hi.length + channel_lo.length -> channel_length
  (the Donchian channel is structurally ONE parameter)
- r_meanrev_open: mean_window.length + var_window.length -> window; the band
  factor stays an independent axis
Regenerated via the emitters (never hand-edited); the closed examples are
byte-unchanged. The carve builders gang in the open branch only.

Test migration: the two axis-namespace pins, five --real e2e invocations
(single gang axis, the 10,20 diagonal for the campaign pair — the mismatched
20,40/10,20 grid was exactly the configuration space the gang retires), and
the param_stability row counts (4 -> 3). The r-sma walkforward golden anchor
is untouched (it never swept a ganged pair).

Docs: authoring-guide gains the seventh op + the third param state
(open/bound/ganged) + the gang wrap note; README op list + Axis concept;
glossary gang entry; ledger C24 records the gang verb and the pre-ship
Tier-2 dormancy (no format-version bump while no out-of-repo reader exists).

Brummel 35b996e3bf docs(ledger,research): note the metric-vocabulary drift guard (#190 close)
The #190 cycle-close audit found two now-stale claims that predate this
cycle's guard test: the ledger's known-debt note listed the metric-roster
triplication as tracked by #190 (the issue that just added the guard, closing
on push), and metric_vocabulary()'s doc comment told a hand-editor to keep the
list in sync by hand without mentioning that a red test now catches a desync.

Reconcile both to the honest state: the triplication remains (still a
hand-list) but drift from the shipped aura-analysis types is now caught by the
cross-crate guard `aura-campaign/tests/metric_vocabulary_e2e.rs`; the
single-source removal that would delete the hand-list is tracked under #147

The #168 refusal left sibling --trace surfaces still lying and the design ledger
still describing CLI --trace as a live persist path (surfaced by the cycle-close

- README drops --trace from the live naming flags.
- the ledger records the CLI --trace retirement: per-member --trace was never
  wired to the blueprint sweep (`let _ = persist`) and was silently dropped at
  #159/#220 — it never migrated as the old HISTORY note claimed; the single live
  TraceStore::write is the campaign persist_taps; restoration is deferred to #224.

campaign member runner default to the same single-sourced regime
constants; the multi-value refusal and the C10/C20 regime semantics

all resolved fix-path here:

- generalize's default path was shipped untested; added the
  generalize_args_from_defaults_missing_knobs_to_the_regime unit test
  mirroring mc's sibling.
- The None=>default / Some=>parse+single-value stop block recurred 4x
  across the walkforward/mc extractors; extracted into the generic
  stop_knob_or helper (refusal strings byte-identical; generalize's
  typed unwrap_or extractor deliberately not unified — no parsing
  there).
- Ledger stop-defaulting note now records the two default
  representations: sweep binds no regime (late-resolved by the member
  runner), the three verbs bind the default eagerly into the document
  — same R behaviour, deliberately different content ids.

Regression gate green, no baseline moved: full workspace suite 0

  shipped generic grammar; the ledger HISTORY note now separates the
  two supersessions correctly (#159 retired the built-in --strategy
  demo surface; #220 de-welded the verbs) instead of mis-attributing
  the weld removal to #159.
- Four stale characterization doc-comments in cli_run.rs reworded:
  the retired welded grammar is now named as the pinned grades'
  provenance, not the current spelling; one dangling reference to a
  deleted test repointed to the live anchor.
- The quadruplicated dispatch blocks extracted into two shared helpers
  beside validate_and_register_axes: exit_axis_register_error (the
  AxisRegisterError exit-map, byte-identical stderr + exit codes) and
  campaign_window_ms (from_choice -> full_window -> unix-ms clip);
  generalize's explicit unclipped (Some, Some) passthrough arm is

Brummel b761b3c9c2 docs: close the verb-dissolution milestone — ledger status 4/4 + glossary sugar note
The verb-dissolution STATUS paragraph read "cycle 0110 dissolved the first verb
… Remaining: generalize, walkforward, and mc's R-bootstrap path" — stale at HEAD,
where all four verbs are dissolved. The per-cycle audits were each scoped to
their own commit range, so the cumulative status line lagged; the milestone
close fieldtest (#210, 2026-07-07) surfaced the drift.

Refresh the paragraph to the completed state, and record the per-verb
dissolved-form asymmetry as intended scope (ratify): for sweep the dissolved
form is the blueprint file (`<bp.json> --real`) while `aura sweep --strategy
r-sma --real` stays the inline built-in path — the built-in `--strategy` demo
surface is #159's hard-wired-harness retirement target, not the dissolution's;
for generalize/walkforward/mc the dissolved form is `--strategy r-sma --real`.

Glossary: note in the sweep and walk-forward entries that the CLI verbs are now
thin sugar over the campaign path.

Milestone closed 2026-07-07 on a green end-to-end fieldtest (0 bugs). Forward
findings filed: #216 (risk-axis discoverability), #217 (verb knob asymmetry),
#218 (no-project store litter).

Brummel d96af7e1a2 audit: cycle close risk-regime axis — drift-clean after the C20 ledger fix (#210)
Architect drift review (c9d962f..HEAD). What holds: the nominee key is the
3-tuple (strategy, window, regime) and no argmax over regime_ordinal exists, so
the ledger's kept-separate / compared-not-selected semantics is what the code
does; the C18 manifest stamp is honest (the characterization pin flipped from
asserting absence to requiring the exact resolved 3/2.0, a strengthening, and a
real two-regime e2e catches per-cell mis-resolution); no dead code (cell.regime
and regime_ordinal are both read after the runtime-binding slice), absent/empty
risk keeps content-id parity, and CampaignGeneralization.regime_ordinal is
serde-default so pre-feature records still parse.

Resolution:
- FIX (inline, this commit): the spec promised a C10 AND a C20 note; only C10
  landed. C20's enumerated structural-axis list (strategy/instrument/broker/
  window) was left silently incomplete — the risk regime is added as the fourth
  matrix axis, with a dated realization pointer to the C10 semantics.
- carry (documented descope): no std::risk descriptor in CAMPAIGN_SECTIONS —
  risk is a top-level array, not a slot-bearing section; no invariant broken.
- carry (filed #212): the persist re-run + campaign_cell_key omit the regime
  because CellRealization gained none; the architect verified this is a LOUD C1
  drift-alarm refusal for a non-default regime + persist_taps, not silent wrong
  data (#212 corrected accordingly).
- trivial: validate_campaign's regime-check comment corrected (it catches NaN,
  not all non-finite; +inf is unreachable via JSON).

Regression gate: full workspace suite green, clippy clean (no dedicated
regression script; the suite + lint are the gate). Spec and plan removed
(git rm) at cycle close per the project convention. No baseline moved.

Brummel 50d3db7028 feat(cli): finalize the risk-regime axis — ledger note + clippy-clean regime check (#210 T5)
The last slice of the risk-regime structural axis. The sugar parity
(`translate_sweep` emitting `risk: vec![]`, absent-serializing) and the
real-data two-regime e2e landed in the earlier slices (the loop's self-correction
and its e2e phase), so this closes the remaining pieces:

- design-ledger note: the risk regime realizes the StopRule structural axis at
  the campaign-document level — kept-separate keying, compared-not-selected (the
  R-unit argument), the C18 stamp, absent-parity, and the deferred trace gap
  (#212).
- clippy: `validate_campaign`'s regime check reads `k <= 0.0 || k.is_nan()`
  instead of `!(k > 0.0)` (neg_cmp_op_on_partial_ord), behaviour-identical.

Full workspace suite green; clippy clean.

Brummel 2c729965db audit: cycle 0110 tidy — verb-dissolution cycle 1 closed drift-clean
Architect review (scope e7c7bde..b7aaa0b) found three items; resolutions:

- fix: docs/authoring-guide.md + glossary aligned with the shipped
  vocabulary (std::sweep selection group optional/all-or-nothing,
  selection-free = terminal-only, worked example verified against the
  live binary).
- fix: the #203 wrapped/raw axis-name convention is now single-sourced
  in campaign_run.rs (wrapped_to_raw_axis + raw_matches_wrapped, a
  cross-documented inverse pair; dispatch_sweep and both bind sites
  call through it; inverse-property unit test). Ratify note: this
  unifies two previously different algorithms onto the documented
  first-segment semantics — the old loose ends_with suffix-match also
  accepted sub-segment shorthands (e.g. axis "length" against
  "sma_signal.fast.length") that no stored document or test used;
  such shorthands now refuse loudly (unbound/unknown axis) instead of
  matching, the refuse-don't-guess reading of #203.
- carry: run_blueprint_sweep/blueprint_sweep_family remain generically
  real-capable though the dispatch no longer routes real data to them;
  the residual capability is shared DataSource machinery, its removal
  falls out with the built-in/synthetic branch retirement (#159), and
  the synthetic-only status is documented at the fn.

What holds: C24 canonical form (flatten group leaves every stored
content id unchanged, golden pin untouched), C18 lineage (topology_hash
IS content_id_of, single store write resolves the strategy ref;
selection-free arm still persists the full family), C25 closed-
vocabulary discipline (all-or-nothing group, Blockly-clean), C3 (ms/ns
conversion through the ingest seam's own named fn).

Ledger: #109 open-thread status lifted to cycles 0107-0110 reality
(executor shipped, amendment package landed, verb dissolution running
as milestone #210 with sweep dissolved).

Brummel 179c2f8bf0 audit: cycle 0109 tidy (drift resolved by ledger/glossary lift + tap-channel cross-pin)
Architect verdict: drift_found — the code holds (C1 honored not
assumed: the nominee re-run's metrics-equality hard refusal; C22/C14
clean: existing TraceStore + unchanged viewer, serde-default widening
round-trips, name composition single-sourced in derive_trace_name).
Resolved here:

- C18: the 0107 paragraph's 'persist_taps is deferred' points forward;
  new cycle-0109 realization paragraph records the closed tap
  vocabulary + UnknownTap tier, the nominee-only non-reduce re-run
  with the C1 metrics guard, the campaign trace family layout, the
  trace_name claim contract, the loud-skip lines, and the noted
  chart-over-family-root debt.
- Glossary: tap entry names the closed vocabulary + escalation rule;
  campaign document's presentation clause references it; campaign run
  gains the trace_name pointer.
- Debt fixed inline (architect med): tap_channel gains the
  emit_vocabulary-twin debug_assert cross-pin so a fifth vocabulary
  tap fails loudly instead of silently skipping.

The consumed 0108 fieldtest spec is removed with the cycle's spec+plan

Brummel ae2fac3212 audit: cycle 0108 tidy (drift resolved by ledger/glossary lift)
Architect verdict: drift_found — the expected pre-audit doc lag; the
code holds (C1: doc-seeded bootstrap + BTreeMap-ordered generalize;
C14/C23 sparse widening pinned by the pre-0108-line parse test;
terminal-annotator dataflow confirmed — nothing flows out, no new
emit kind, no content-id movement). All items resolved here:

- C18: 0107's 'refuse loudly at preflight' points forward; new
  cycle-0108 realization paragraph records the v2 shape, the
  dual-input stage bootstrap, campaign-scope generalize, the tier
  boundary (test-pinned on both sides), the record widenings, and
  the stringly wf-detection debt.
- Glossary: campaign document -> v2 shape; bootstrap and Monte-Carlo
  entries disambiguate the three senses (construction vs statistical
  r_bootstrap vs seed axis — the std::monte_carlo stage IS the
  trade-sequence bootstrap, named for r_bootstrap's arguments);
  generalize gains the campaign-scope realization.

Brummel 428f83c542 audit: cycle 0107 tidy (drift resolved by ledger/glossary lift)
Architect verdict: drift_found — the code holds its contracts (C1
determinism incl. lowest-index fault attribution and doc-seeded
deflation; C16 seam: aura-campaign excludes ingest/std/composites,
MemberRunner isolates the condemned CLI scaffolding; the walk_forward
lockstep set moved together), the docs lagged the tree. All six drift
items resolved in this commit:

- C18: 'no executor exists' retired (0106 text now points forward);
  new cycle-0107 realization records the executor, the aura-campaign
  home, ListSpace, the campaign_runs.jsonl sibling store, zero-survivor
  exit-0 semantics, emit/persist_taps split, the #196 on-ramp, and the
  machinery-true std::walk_forward correction.
- C16: aura-campaign added to the non-node crate enumeration
  (cycle-0107 realization; explicitly not C21's World).
- Glossary: campaign document entry corrected (run verb, execution
  prose); new 'campaign run' entry; blueprint entry gains the on-ramp
  verbs.

Carry-on debt (self-noted in code, tracked): metric-roster
triplication #190, deflation-constant duplication #199; cross-cell
fault orphans + nested-parallelism oversubscription noted in the
tasks-6-7 commit body. Follow-ups filed on the milestone: #200
(mc/generalize stage execution), #201 (persist_taps wiring).

Brummel e73aadae1e docs(ledger): #188 amendment package — C25 role model, C20/C22 refinements, invariant-10 clarification
C25 (new): the nine authoring roles cut by artifact + surface + iteration
cost, the recognizability test, the 6a/6b split on invariant 12's tier
boundary with the id machinery as interface, the text-first/headless-first
invariant (visual surfaces = stateless projections, viewers over editors),
and the Blockly litmus test as every vocabulary's acceptance criterion.

C20: the 'plain Rust loops, not a config schema' clause and the mini-DSL
forbid are scoped — they forbid an open logic-bearing language, not the
closed-vocabulary campaign document that now carries experiment intent
under the P1 construct tier; generators may stay Rust, what they yield is
data.

C22: stateless-projection refinement generalized to all artifact classes;
the shipped face recorded as the web-from-disk front. Glossary playground
entry aligned (the egui-native wording was stale against the 2026-06
revision).

CLAUDE.md invariant 10: clarified that closed-vocabulary data artifacts
(op-scripts, blueprints, process/campaign documents) are not the forbidden
DSL — RustAst failed as an open logic-bearing language; new logic
escalates to a Rust block, never a freetext hole.

All content ratified on #188 (body + addenda + resolution comments); this
commit is production of the durable record, no new design.

Brummel ebe85683c9 audit: cycle 0106 tidy — ledger/glossary lift, unwired-hint fix, spec/plan retired
Architect drift review (holds: C14 headless authoring, C16/C17 no-DSL with
aura-research a true leaf, content-id move behaviour-preserving per the
untouched id goldens). Resolution per item:

- fix (docs): C18 gains the cycle-0106 realization note (processes/ +
  campaigns/ stores, document canonical form, the content-id primitive's
  library home, the referential tier, no-executor status); the #109
  analysis-meta-level open thread records the artifact half shipped v1 and
  what stays open (executor question, verb dissolution 'once it carries',
  the remaining #188 amendment package). Glossary: new campaign document +
  process document entries; content id generalized to all three artifact
  classes; experiment marked superseded by the campaign document (#188
  re-cut of the builder-API thread).
- fix (code): the --unwired guide advertised an identity_id process ref
  that validate_campaign refuses — the process.ref open-slot hint now says
  content-id-only (strategy refs keep both); lib + seam pins updated.
- filed forward: #190 (metric-vocabulary single-sourcing, the 0105 roster
  drift class), #191 (identity-ref store scan is O(store), performance
  only).
- carry-on: regression gates green by hand — cargo test --workspace 916/0,
  clippy -D warnings clean, cargo doc --no-deps 0 warnings; no baseline to
  ratify (project has no metric baseline scripts).

Cycle 0106 spec and plan retired per convention (git rm); durable record

Brummel 81ac6fd654 docs(ledger): declare the canonical project shape — templates canon, fixture frozen twin
Resolves the #181 design pass (option c: ledger declaration, no lockstep
mechanism). The aura-new templates (scaffold.rs) are the canonical
authoring shape and evolve with the engine; the cycle-0102 demo-project
fixture is an intentionally frozen known-good twin for the load-boundary
tests. Deliberately NOT lockstep-guarded: no consumer requires the copies
to match (skeptic-verified — nothing treats the fixture as what aura new
emits), each is e2e-guarded on its fitness for purpose (build/load/
charter/deterministic run; blueprint wiring is pinned in neither, stated
honestly after an adversarial skeptic pass refuted the stronger claim),
and an equality guard would convert deliberate template improvements into
forced churn of the frozen fixture — the same cross-purpose coupling that
rules out regenerating the fixture from the scaffolder.

Brummel bd32c4fcb3 audit: cycle 0105 tidy (drift-clean after two doc-mirror alignments)
Architect drift review (range 7b429f9..57f401f): drift_found (low/medium
only), resolved inline as close-fixes:
- crates/aura-std/src/vocabulary.rs — the roster-site doc now names BOTH
  count pins a node addition trips (the in-crate shape test and aura-cli's
  cross-boundary --vocabulary count e2e); the singular phrasing understated
  the cross-crate lockstep the extra e2e introduced.
- docs/design/INDEX.md — the C24 enforcement-shift passage gains the 0105
  delivery note: resolver-vs-list drift closed by construction via the
  roster macro; the un-rostered-node residual stays fail-safe.

Noted, no action: spec/plan predicted 884 (no new test) but delivery added
one e2e (885) — consciously superseded, disclosed in the iter commit body;
the artifacts are ephemeral and removed below.

What holds (architect): byte-preserving refactor confirmed against the
diff (22 keys/order exact, signatures and module doc untouched, every
consumer unchanged); invariant 9 / C24 preserved (compile-time expansion,
no registry); the new e2e count pin is genuinely roster-tied.

Brummel 7b429f931a audit: cycle 0104 tidy (drift-clean after three doc-mirror alignments)
Architect drift review (range d5c4361..45fb06d): drift_found, three items,
all doc-mirror — resolved inline as close-fixes:
- docs/design/INDEX.md — the two #171 deferral passages (C18 #158
  realization + C24 status) now record the shipped identity id (additive
  sibling; content id keeps the store/reproduce roles; introspection-only
  until a dedup consumer exists). Whole-harness / structural-axis
  content-addressing stays deferred.
- README.md — introspect table gains the --identity-id row incl. the
  combinable id-flag behaviour.
- docs/glossary.md — three record-reality entries: content id, identity id
  (Avoid: identity hash, topology-identity hash), topology hash; the
  README row aligned to the canonical term.

What holds (architect): additive-sibling discipline intact (no store code
touched, every content-id/topology_hash pin green); C23 honoured precisely
(each strip arm has a protecting property test; factoring byte-preserving
via the canonical golden); the two extra engine tests are genuinely
distinct coverage (recursion arm, role/output arms), no redundancy.

Regression gates (all green): cargo build clean; cargo test --workspace

Brummel d5c4361a97 audit: cycle 0103 tidy (drift-clean after three doc-mirror alignments)
Architect review of b672a37..HEAD. What holds: emitted templates match
the settled contracts (Aura.toml paths-only per C17, cdylib + empty
[workspace] per C16, ::-namespaced ids per the charter, the C14 exit
partition in dispatch_new); the load-bypass guard is narrow and sound
(only the new-project verb exempted, the load arm byte-unchanged for
every other verb); e2e coverage is real (scaffold -> build -> run twice
byte-identical, namespace stamped, introspection, four refusals, the
unbuilt-tree bypass, plus the additive namespace-override test).

Regression: cargo build --workspace rc=0; cargo test --workspace 873
passed / 0 failed (project_new 6/6); clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings rc=0; cargo doc --workspace --no-deps 0 warnings. No
baselines exist to move, so nothing to ratify.

Drift resolved in this commit: three doc mirrors still framing the
scaffolder as future — project-layout.md's 'the future aura new
scaffolder will emit this line; until then, add it by hand', the C24
status paragraph's 'what remains open is the aura new scaffolder (the
milestone's next cycle)', and the #109 open-thread bullet's 'the aura
new scaffolder and the experiment-builder API remain open' — all
rewritten to the landed reading (only the experiment-builder API stays
open in that layer).

Carried debt, filed forward: the scaffold templates and the
demo-project fixture encode one project shape twice with no lockstep
guard and deliberate cosmetic divergences (#181, idea — needs a design
pass, not a mechanical edit).

Process note: one mid-cycle plan-fix commit (derive(Debug) on a
plan-prescribed struct whose own test code required it) — the
implement loop's spec gate correctly blocked the necessary deviation;
resolution followed the fix-plan/commit-subset/re-run path.

Ephemeral cycle artifacts removed per convention: spec 0103, plan 0103.

Architect review of d7c935d..HEAD. What holds: C13/C16 separation
verified by diff (descriptor in aura-core::project, loader entirely in
aura-cli::project, aura-engine gains only the additive provenance
field); the C-tier-before-Rust-tier discipline is enforced in load()
(magic -> version -> stamps, fn pointers touched only after Ok);

resolver, charter at the one seam); outside-a-project byte-identity
confirmed by the full green suite incl. every golden-bearing test.

sequencing-coupled/unbuilt, and the #109 open-thread bullet naming it
an unbuilt half — rewritten to record the landed load boundary (the
aura new scaffolder and the experiment-builder API stay open).

Carried holds (plan-prescribed bytes, cosmetic): the unreachable
rsplit fallback in node_name, the unreachable! build closure in one
aura-core test.
