Brummel 9402afe958 polish(cli): normalize usage-message casing to the clap house style
Every hand-rolled usage line now reads 'Usage: aura <verb> ...' — capital
prefix plus the program name, the shape clap itself and the built-in run
branch already spoke. 10 literal edits: 6 lowercase 'usage:' flips (graph
introspect, run blueprint x2, runs family, mc blueprint, mc built-in), 4 bare
closures gain the prefix (sweep/walkforward, blueprint + built-in branches);
the mc built-in line names the program in both |-separated alternatives.
Refusal diagnostics, the conforming run_args_from literal, clap output, and
the fieldtests corpus stay byte-identical; exit codes keep the usage=2 /
runtime=1 partition.

Lockstep pin: the single casing-sensitive assertion (mc --real) flips to
capital 'Usage'. Three additive regression tests pin the house style itself
(bare-closure prefix, both mc alternatives, mc blueprint branch) — the
pre-existing pins checked only verb tokens / a single Usage occurrence;
deviation from the spec's no-new-test-bytes wording recorded on the issue.

Verification: cargo test --workspace rc=0 (cli_run 133 passed), clippy -D
warnings clean, grep gates exact (zero lowercase 'usage:' literals; 11
'Usage: aura' source lines), smoke 'aura sweep --strategy bogus' prints the
house-style line and exits 2.

Brummel 4de6d5cbad rename: retire the stage1-* family for the r-family (r-sma / r-breakout / r-meanrev)
The stage1 ordinal has been dead vocabulary since the C10 reframe dropped
the two-stage research model: a 1 structurally implies a 2 that no longer
exists. The family is renamed by its live discriminator - the R yardstick -
with members named by their signal, uniform with their signal-named
siblings (sma, macd, momentum):

- selectors: stage1-r -> r-sma, stage1-breakout -> r-breakout,
  stage1-meanrev -> r-meanrev (old tokens are usage errors, exit 2 - no
  silent alias)
- identifiers: Strategy::RSma/RBreakout/RMeanRev, HarnessKind::RSma,
  r_sma_*/r_breakout_*/r_meanrev_*, wrap_r, run_signal_r, RGrid, R_SMA_*
- persisted identity: the sma_signal composite (param prefix
  sma_signal.fast.length / .slow.length; fixtures regenerated; content-ids
  shift - no test pins a literal hash, the registry parses no record names)
- e2e test files git-mv'd to r_sma_e2e / r_breakout_e2e / r_meanrev_e2e
- dead Stage-1/Stage-2 prose reworded to post-C10 vocabulary across
  rustdoc, Cargo.tomls, ledger live lines, and the glossary (historical
  entries stay; fieldtests corpus untouched)
- CLAUDE.md invariant 7 rewritten to record the ratified C10 reframe
  faithfully (the token-swap alone would have laundered the retired
  gated-currency/realistic-broker design into unmarked live prose); the
  unbacked account-mode clause dropped

Verification: cargo build/test --workspace green (51 targets), clippy
-D warnings clean, doc build clean, acceptance grep gate leaves exactly
the one resampling-stage false positive (harness.rs), smoke: --harness
r-sma runs, --harness stage1-r exits 2 with the new usage line.

Decision log: forks and rationale recorded on the issue (reconciliation
+ implementation-phase comments).

Brummel 88e9c9a539 fix(cli): symmetric sweep/mc family-verb polish (closed error, mc seed label, mandatory-knob docs)
Three polish items surfaced by the World/C21 milestone fieldtest:

- A sweep of a fully-bound (closed) blueprint is refused up front with a clear
  "this blueprint is fully bound; nothing to sweep" message — the symmetric
  inverse of blueprint_mc_family's closed-blueprint guard — instead of leaking a
  misleading UnknownKnob for a knob that is not unknown but bound out.
  blueprint_sweep_family's error contract widens to String; the sweep terminal's
  BindError (a genuine unknown/kind-mismatch axis) still surfaces verbatim.
- mc reproduce lines now carry each member's seed=<N> label. Monte-Carlo members
  hold no tuning params, so the member label was blank; the seed is each draw's
  realization identity. Sweep / walk-forward labels (which echo params) unchanged.
- docs (design ledger + glossary): state that every open knob --list-axes prints
  is mandatory on sweep / walkforward — a subset is refused with the missing knob
  named (BindError::MissingKnob), there is no default; pin a knob you do not want
  to vary with a single-value axis.

RED-first for the two behaviour items. One existing unknown-axis E2E is re-pointed
from the closed fixture (which now hits the new "nothing to sweep" pre-check) to
the open fixture; it still exercises UnknownKnob("nope") specifically — resolve
raises UnknownKnob in phase 1 before MissingKnob in phase 2 — so the property is
preserved, not weakened.

Brummel e20dd9ae49 Merge main into the clap-adoption cycle — re-integrate the two parallel CLI fixes
main advanced with two `fix(cli)` commits (dec0780, 6a775f7) landed by a parallel
session while the clap adoption (cycles 0098/0099) was built from 780d823. Both
touch behaviour the clap migration rewrote or sits beside; this merge preserves
them rather than letting the rewrite silently drop them:

- dec0780 (open-blueprint guard, #176): `aura run <open blueprint.json>` must
  refuse with a clean exit 2, never a `compile_with_params` arity panic (exit
  101). The fix lived in the old hand-rolled `run` .json-arm, which the clap
  migration replaced — re-integrated into `dispatch_run`'s .json branch (the same
  `blueprint_axis_probe().param_space()` check + "closed blueprint" diagnostic).
- 6a775f7 (walkforward axis-once, #177): axis validation hoisted to a single
  dispatch-boundary pre-flight, in the execution fn `blueprint_walkforward_family`
  — which the migration did not touch, so it auto-merged unchanged.

Both fixes are verified by their own RED tests
(`aura_run_rejects_an_open_blueprint_without_panicking`,
`aura_walkforward_emits_an_unknown_axis_rejection_once`), and both are consistent
with this cycle's iteration-2 exit-code classification: an open blueprint and an
unknown axis are argument faults, so usage errors → exit 2.

The conflict was confined to `fn main` in crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs (the clap
`Cli::parse()` dispatch vs the old argv `match`); resolved to the clap side plus
the re-integrated guard. cli_run.rs auto-merged (their two new tests + this
cycle's renegotiated pins).

Verified green (orchestrator, this session): cargo build --workspace, cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace all clean.

Brummel fa42bf3878 feat(0099): CLI exit-code split (iteration 2) — usage=2, runtime=1
Apply the clean exit-code partition (#175 deviation #8) on top of the clap
migration: runtime failures now exit 1, usage errors stay exit 2, with no
same-class inconsistency.

Partition (attribution principle): exit 2 = a command-line fault (a bad flag
value, an inapplicable combination, or the content of an argv-named file);
exit 1 = the command was well-formed but the environment / recorded state it
needs is missing, or piped stdin data is bad. The 6 boundary cases the spec's
"parse-time vs run-time" rule under-specified are resolved on #175
(malformed/open argv blueprint -> usage 2; stdin op-script content -> runtime 1;
applicability refusals -> usage 2; unknown --axis / --metric -> usage 2).

Flipped 2->1 (runtime): no local data, no recorded geometry, no recorded
run/family, "run has no tap named", trace-name collision, family/trace
persist-write failures (normalizing the lone generalize inconsistency -- all
persist -> 1 together), missing/corrupt content-addressed store state (the
reproduce path), chart-read failures, and graph stdin op-script content +
stdin-read I/O. reproduce-diverged stays exit 1. Usage sites (clap parse,
argv-applicability guards, the dual-grammar blueprint-file read/parse) stay
exit 2.

Tests: ~8 domain-refusal pins flipped Some(2)->Some(1) (message substrings
unchanged), the four runtime tests renamed _exit_2 -> _exit_1, and a partition
property test added. Orchestrator fix after the loop: 3 sibling no-data
skip-guards (run_real_with_trace + the two generalize cross-instrument tests)
that the plan's Task-1 list missed -- left at Some(2), they would fall through
to assert Some(0) and FAIL on a data-less machine; flipped to Some(1) for
consistency with the flipped code.

Deferred (cosmetic, filed forward): full "Usage:" / "usage:" / bare
error-message casing normalization -- no functional impact, high pin-churn.

Verified green (orchestrator, this session): cargo build --workspace, cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace all
clean (0 failed across every test binary).

This completes the #175 clap-adoption cycle (iteration 1 = clap migration at
366170a; iteration 2 = this exit-code split).

Brummel 366170aeab feat(0098): CLI clap migration (iteration 1) — scoped help, --version, GNU flags
Replace the hand-rolled aura-cli argv parser with a clap derive parser.
Delivers, all from one declarative source:
- scoped `aura <sub> --help` (stdout, exit 0) — each subcommand's own Options
  section; retires the #131 uniform-global-blob help
- `--version` / `-V` → `aura 0.1.0` (stdout, exit 0)
- GNU `--flag=value`, the `--` end-of-options terminator, and long-option
  abbreviation (`--harn` → `--harness`)

Architecture: one root Cli/Command enum, one `*Cmd` struct per subcommand. The
four dual-grammar subcommands (run/sweep/walkforward/mc) map the loaded-blueprint
branch as an optional `[blueprint]` positional + a post-parse `is_file()`
dispatch on a single-sourced predicate; each built-in handler re-asserts a
stray-positional guard (refuse-don't-guess) so clap's optional positional cannot
silently swallow a typo (pinned by two new E2E tests). The execution layer
(run_*/emit_*/runs_*/reproduce_*) is untouched — only arg-plumbing changes, via
thin `*_from` adapters reusing the existing value helpers.

Exit codes behaviour-preserved: clap parse errors exit 2 (matching the old
usage-error=2); domain refusals stay exit 2; reproduce-diverged stays exit 1.
The exit-code split (2=usage / 1=runtime) is iteration 2. clap is admitted under
the C16 per-case review (research-side CLI, invariant 8 untouched — a dev-loop
compile tax, not a frozen-artifact tax).

Forced plan corrections (implementer; verified against the diff):
- Step 6's deletion of the `parse_*_args` fns orphaned ~34 grammar unit tests
  that called them; those were deleted and that grammar coverage moved to the
  renegotiated cli_run.rs E2E pins (`parse_select` kept + retested).
- run_malformed_cost_value_...: a bad cost value is now a clap value-parse error
  (no "Usage:" line); renegotiated to pin exit 2 + empty stdout + the flag name
  "--cost-per-trade"; the units note stays pinned via `run --help`.
- `allow_hyphen_values` on the three cost flags so `--cost-per-trade -0.5`
  reaches the non-negativity guard (else clap rejects -0.5 as an unknown option).
- Deleted the now-dead `RealWindowGrammar` (clippy -D warnings).

Orchestrator additions after the loop:
- Enabled long-option abbreviation (`infer_long_args` on the root — one
  attribute, it propagates to subcommands) + a test, closing spec acceptance
  criterion 4 which the plan's RED tests did not cover. Decided to deliver
  rather than amend the spec: the two ratified decisions conflict on this
  low-tier item — Fork B (GNU compliance, getopt_long abbreviates) vs F5
  (LLM/automation-first, human-only niceties deprioritized) — and the cost
  tiebreaker (one attribute, not per-struct work) resolves to deliver.

Carry-on debt (not this iteration): the error-message "Usage:"/"usage:"/bare
casing is now mixed (clap's capitalized "Usage:" beside preserved lowercase aura
messages); a deliberate quality-hold since the casings are pinned by
renegotiated/preserved tests. Cosmetic; a candidate for the iteration-2
exit-code-split cleanup.

Verified green (orchestrator, this session): cargo build --workspace, cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace all
clean (0 failed across every test binary, including the renegotiated cli_run
pins and the new --version / scoped-help / GNU-flag / dual-grammar tests).

Brummel 6a775f700f fix(cli): walkforward validates its --axis grid once, not once per window
`aura walkforward <bp> --axis <name>=<v>` emitted a rejected axis's
diagnostic more than once (a racy 1-3x) when the grid did not resolve.
`blueprint_walkforward_family` resolved the axes *inside* the per-window
closure, and `walk_forward` fans that closure out across the windows in
parallel — so several windows each `eprintln!` the same `BindError` and
`exit(2)` before any one exit tears the process down.

Axis resolution is window-independent, so it is hoisted to a single
dispatch-boundary pre-flight (mirroring `aura sweep`, which validates its
axes once before any member runs): the first in-sample window is resolved
up front, surfacing the `BindError` exactly once; the per-window closure
then resolves already-validated axes and cannot re-raise (`expect`).

RED-first: cli_run.rs `aura_walkforward_emits_an_unknown_axis_rejection_once`
drives the verb 20x and asserts the rejection is single every run (the emit
count was racy, so a single invocation would be a flaky assertion). Surfaced
by the World/C21 milestone fieldtest.

Brummel dec07809df fix(cli): aura run refuses an open blueprint with a clean exit 2, not a panic
`aura run <blueprint.json>` bootstraps the loaded signal over the EMPTY
param point (a closed-blueprint assumption) and `.expect()`s
`compile_with_params`, which panics (exit 101, ParamArity) when the
blueprint carries >=1 free knob. The sibling `aura mc` already refuses an
open blueprint cleanly at the dispatch boundary; `run` now does the same.

The `["run", ..]` `.json`-discriminator arm probes the wrapped param_space
(`blueprint_axis_probe`, the single source of that wrap) and, when it is
non-empty, emits a "run requires a closed blueprint … N free knob(s) —
bind them or use `aura sweep --axis`" diagnostic and exits 2 — mirroring
`blueprint_mc_family`'s closed-guard. No panic on a naive consumer's first
move (author an open blueprint, run it).

RED-first: cli_run.rs `aura_run_rejects_an_open_blueprint_without_panicking`
pins exit 2 + the named requirement + no `panicked`. Surfaced by the
World/C21 milestone fieldtest.

Brummel ff20f74e8f feat(0097): IS-refit walk-forward over a loaded blueprint — aura walkforward <bp.json> --axis
Ship the World/C21 milestone's last piece (Arm A, #173): a true in-sample-refit
walk-forward over a loaded blueprint. `aura walkforward <blueprint.json> --axis
<name>=<csv> [--axis …] [--select argmax|plateau:mean|plateau:worst]` rolls
24/12/12 IS/OOS windows over the synthetic span; per IS window it re-optimizes
the blueprint's params over the user's --axis grid (the #169 prefixed names),
selects the winner by sqn_normalized, runs it out-of-sample, and aggregates the
per-window OOS reports into a FamilyKind::WalkForward family — content-addressed
(put_blueprint) and aura-reproduce bit-identical.

Structure mirrors the hard-wired stage1-r walk-forward arm one substitution
deep: the generic engine walk_forward driver + select_winner + the synthetic
schedule are reused; only the per-window IS-sweep (blueprint_sweep_over) and
OOS-run (run_oos_blueprint) source the loaded blueprint via cycle-0096's
blueprint_axis_probe. reproduce_family_in gains a WalkForward arm reconstructing
each OOS window's windowed slice from the member manifest's window bounds (winner
params via the shared manifest->cells recovery, as the MonteCarlo/Sweep arms do).

Panic-safety: blueprint_sweep_over returns Result<_, BindError>; a bad/unknown
--axis is a clean in-closure exit 2 (mirroring the hard-wired arm's select_winner
handling), never a panic — pinned by the rejects_an_unknown_axis E2E. A no-axis
invocation (nothing to re-fit) is a usage error; a malformed blueprint is rejected
at the dispatch boundary (exit 2, no panic). Reduce-mode members carry R-metrics
(no raw pip curve) → empty stitched equity; oos_r is the meaningful summary (C10
R-first yardstick).

Held quality finding adjudicated: run_oos_blueprint's plan-prescribed redundant
`pip: f64` (== data.pip_size()) removed — derived internally to match its siblings
run_oos_r / blueprint_sweep_over, which also drops the too_many_arguments
band-aid #[allow] (8->7 args). Two plan transcription typos the loop caught and
fixed verified correct: BindError renders via Debug ({e:?}), parse_select via
map_err (Result, not Option).

Verified myself: cargo build --workspace, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace all green; 2 new unit tests + 5 new
cli_run E2Es (persist shape, reproduce bit-identical, no-axis, malformed-safety,
unknown-axis) pass; no regression in the hard-wired walkforward / sweep / mc /
reproduce suites. Engine/registry untouched (invariants 1/2/8/9).

Brummel bd2003e217 feat(0096): list a loaded blueprint's sweepable axes — aura sweep <bp.json> --list-axes
A data-level author can now discover a loaded blueprint's open sweepable knobs
before sweeping: `aura sweep <blueprint.json> --list-axes` prints one
`<name>:<kind>` line per open knob, in param_space() order, then exits 0. Before
this the only way to learn the names was to guess a `--axis` and read the
MissingKnob/UnknownKnob error — which 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).

Design (derived, recorded on #169): the query lands on the SWEEP verb, not
`graph introspect`, because the accepted axis names are produced by the sweep's
own harness-wrapping (wrap_stage1r nests the loaded signal as a
BlueprintNode::Composite named "stage1_signal", so collect_params prefixes them
— stage1_signal.fast.length, not the raw fast.length). Only the sweep verb owns
that wrapping. A new blueprint_axis_probe helper single-sources the wrapped
probe and now subsumes the two previously-inline copies (blueprint_sweep_family
+ blueprint_mc_family), so listed == swept by construction (and stays so across
#159's harness retirement) — no second source of truth.

--list-axes is a standalone query (valueless flag handled before the per-flag
value-consume; rejected with exit 2 if combined with any other flag). A closed
blueprint prints nothing (exit 0). A malformed blueprint is rejected at the
existing dispatch boundary (exit 2, UnknownNodeType), never a panic.

Tests: unit blueprint_axis_probe (prefixed names + empty for closed) + unit
parse grammar (standalone), and five cli_run E2Es — prints names, closed-empty,
rejects-other-flags, malformed-safety (no panic), and a round-trip that DERIVES
the names from --list-axes and feeds them back into a working sweep (pins the
listed==swept invariant #169 exists to close). Verified myself: cargo build
--workspace, cargo test --workspace, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D
warnings all green; no regression in the refactored sweep/mc probes. Engine and
registry untouched (invariants 1/8/9).

Brummel 14e27a978b feat(0095): monte-carlo over a loaded blueprint — aura mc <bp.json> --seeds N
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
draws a distinct synthetic price walk (synthetic_walk_sources, the mc_family
pattern), so members differ in the DATA (not just a manifest label) — the sim is
deterministic (C1), so MC variation must come from re-drawing the input. Draws
run disjointly in parallel via the shared monte_carlo helper (invariant 1). The
canonical blueprint is stored once keyed by the shared topology_hash (the 0094
hook), and reproduce_family_in gains a MonteCarlo realization branch that
reconstructs each member's seed-driven walk from manifest.seed — so a persisted
mc family 'aura reproduce's bit-identically (the store-hook proof).

Closed-blueprint only: MC binds no axis, so a free knob has no binder; an open
blueprint yields a named Err (rendered to stderr + exit 2 at the run_blueprint_mc
boundary, mirroring blueprint_sweep_family — no hidden process exit in the pure
builder), pre-empting the compile_with_params arity panic.

Two quality-gate-driven improvements over the ratified plan, both applied and
verified: (1) delegate the disjoint draws to the engine monte_carlo seam instead
of a hand-rolled loop (my plan's 'closure-shape mismatch' rationale was wrong —
the Fn(u64,&[Scalar]) closure ignores the unused base_point, exactly as mc_family
does); (2) the closed-blueprint guard returns Result rather than exiting inside
the builder, matching the sweep sibling's contract and making the rejection
unit-testable. Engine + registry untouched (invariants 8/9).

Verified: cargo build --workspace clean; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-- -D warnings clean; cargo test --workspace green (5 new tests: the parser,
anti-degenerate family, MC reproduce round-trip, and two E2Es incl. the open
rejection; no regressions).

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).

Brummel 008692c043 feat(0094): content-addressed reproduction — aura reproduce <family-id> (iter 1)
Restore C18 reproducibility for generated (blueprint-sweep) runs (#158, acc 2):
a sweep's topology is stored once, content-addressed by the topology_hash the
manifest already carries, and `aura reproduce <family-id>` re-derives every
persisted member bit-identically (C1) from the stored blueprint.

- aura-registry: a dumb content-addressed bytes store — Registry::put_blueprint
  / get_blueprint / blueprints_dir over runs/blueprints/<hash>.json. No sha2 dep
  (caller owns the hash; reproduction's bit-identical compare is the integrity
  check); absent id -> Ok(None) (treat-as-empty, like load).
- aura-cli: run_blueprint_member extracted from blueprint_sweep_family's member
  closure (behaviour-preserving; keystone stays green) so the sweep AND reproduce
  re-run the identical reduce-mode path — bit-identity by construction. The store
  write hooks the sweep persist seam (one blueprint per family, shared topo).
  reproduce_family_in loads each member's blueprint by hash, reconstructs the
  point from the recorded params (point_from_params, inverse of zip_params, over
  the WRAPPED signal's param_space so the prefixed knob names match), re-runs, and
  compares metrics. `["reproduce", id]` dispatch arm; refuse-don't-guess on an
  unknown id / missing stored blueprint (exit 2), DIVERGED -> exit 1.

Dependency decision (per-case review, ratified): enabled serde_json
`float_roundtrip`. Stored member metrics round-trip through families.jsonl as
f64 JSON; the default parser can be 1 ULP off, which would make disk-loaded !=
recomputed and "bit-identical" (C1) physically impossible. The feature guarantees
exact f64 round-trip. Blast-radius clean (full workspace suite green); it serves
determinism, the invariant reproduction rests on. Canary:
f64_blueprint_param_survives_store_round_trip_bit_identically.

Two plan bugs caught + fixed by the implement loop and verified: reproduce's
param_space must come from the wrapped signal (prefixed names, the #167 lockstep),
and the family id is 0-indexed (live-0 / smacross-0, not -1).

Verified: full workspace suite green (51 suites); clippy -D warnings clean; and
the binary end-to-end — `aura sweep` (3 members, one shared stored blueprint) then
`aura reproduce live-0` (3/3 bit-identical incl the open-at-end member), unknown
id -> exit 2. acc 1 (graph introspect --content-id) + acc 3 (Tier-1 id stability)
land in iteration 2 (plan 0094b).

  its build closures are Box<dyn Fn>, #164 — so a fresh signal is re-loaded from the
  doc per member), and a per-member shared topology_hash. Members share the hash
  (same signal topology, only params vary); member_key distinguishes them.
- The `aura sweep <file.json>` `.json`-discriminator arm mirrors cycle 1; the
  hard-wired `--strategy` sweep is untouched (#159).

Task-3 design gap resolved: a sweep needs an OPEN blueprint (open knobs to grid),
distinct from cycle-1's fully-bound run fixture (a bound blueprint has an empty
param_space). New `tests/fixtures/stage1_signal_open.json` =
blueprint_to_json(stage1_signal(None,None)); a sweep must bind ALL open knobs, so
the E2E grids fast×slow (2×2 = 4 members).

Verified end-to-end by running the binary: `aura sweep stage1_signal_open.json
--axis stage1_signal.fast.length=2,4 --axis stage1_signal.slow.length=8,16 --trace f`
persists a discoverable 4-member Sweep family; an unknown axis fails clean. Member
equivalence vs run_signal_stage1r + shared-hash/distinct-member_key unit-tested.

Brummel 2b1c24668d test(0092): run-from-blueprint E2E + bit-identical keystone + demo fixtures
Closes the cycle-1 test coverage for #165. The `aura run <blueprint.json>` CLI
arm itself (the .json dispatch + parse_blueprint_run_args + BlueprintRunArgs)
shipped in ff4a1b3; this adds the coverage that proves it and the in-repo demo
blueprint:

- crates/aura-cli/tests/fixtures/stage1_signal.json — the canonical SMA-cross
  signal (blueprint_to_json of stage1_signal(2,4)); emit_demo_signal_fixture
  (#[ignore]) regenerates it.
- crates/aura-cli/tests/fixtures/unknown_node.json — one type set to "Nope" for
  the fail-clean guard.
- loaded_signal_runs_bit_identical_to_rust_built (the keystone, C1): a signal
  serialized -> loaded via blueprint_from_json -> run is bit-identical to its
  Rust-built twin, incl. topology_hash (64-hex).
- topology_hash_is_stable_and_distinguishes (#158 anchor property).
- cli_run.rs E2E: `aura run <demo>` exits 0 with topology_hash in the manifest;
  an unknown-node blueprint fails clean with UnknownNodeType (the #160 closed-set
  guard at the data-plane face, invariant 9).

Verified end-to-end by actually running the binary: `aura run stage1_signal.json`

metrics; `aura run unknown_node.json` -> UnknownNodeType("Nope"), exit 2. Full

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;

Brummel f5e00a9c72 feat(0085): per-cycle-held accrual — CarryCost + ChargeMode (approach B)
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". A carry/funding cost
is charged for every cycle a position is held, so the net_r_equity equity curve bleeds
continuously over the hold (approach B, "ja, mach B") rather than stepping at close.

Mechanism (logged on #148): ChargeMode { AtClose, PerHeldCycle } is a property of the
cost factor, read by the one shared CostRunner (no second runner type). The AtClose arm
is the pre-cycle-5 eval tokens VERBATIM (IEEE-754 byte-identity). The PerHeldCycle arm
accrues `per` into `acc` each held cycle, dumps the accrued total into `cum` at close
(resetting acc), and marks the open position via a growing open_cost_in_r. The bleed
lives in open_cost_in_r, which the net_r_equity tap already subtracts — so summarize_r
and the CLI net_eq wiring are UNCHANGED, and the cycle-0083/0084 net_expectancy_r
goldens (-614.3134020253314 flat, -615.0304388396047 composed) + the C18 no-cost golden
stay byte-identical.

CarryCost is a ConstantCost twin differing only in charge_mode() -> PerHeldCycle (a
labelled stress parameter, the flat base of the accrual family). Wired through the
existing cost_graph/CostSum aggregation; a per-trade ConstantCost and a per-held-cycle
CarryCost compose in one run (the costs sum per-field — the composed golden is exactly
the sum of the two single-cost charges). New run-path --carry-per-cycle flag
(sweep/walkforward/mc pass None, as the existing cost flags do).

Tests: 2 RED-first unit B-proofs (open_cost grows over the hold, dumps the total at
close, acc resets between trades — the discriminator a scalar net_expectancy_r cannot
see); the CarryCost twin's 5 unit tests; 2 captured net_expectancy_r goldens
(-768.2095026600887 carry, -1383.7939051991182 composed); a net_r_equity-bleeds-over-
the-hold integration test (the terminal open hold's r_equity-net_r_equity gap strictly
grows); plus negative-rate-refused-exit-2, monotone-in-rate, and zero-rate-exactly-free
guards.

Verified: cargo test --workspace (0 failures), cargo build --workspace, cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean. summarize_r / aura-analysis untouched.
Deferred to later #148 cycles (logged there): notional-based carry, the calendar-aware

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 6b53c239dd feat(0083): CostNode trait + shared cost-record contract
Lift the duplicated cost-node skeleton — shared verbatim by ConstantCost and
VolSlippageCost and locked by convention against CostSum — into one abstraction:

- A new aura-std/src/cost.rs owns the cost-record contract (COST_WIDTH,
  COST_FIELD_NAMES, GEOMETRY_WIDTH), the CostNode factor trait (one hook:
  cost_numerator, in price units), the generic CostRunner<F> adapter that holds
  the shared state (cum, out) and the co-temporality skeleton (geometry gating,
  numerator/latched R-normalization, closed/open charge, 3-field emit), and a
  cost_node_builder schema assembler.
- ConstantCost and VolSlippageCost become thin CostNode factors; their new()
  returns CostRunner<Self>, so every existing call site and unit test binds
  transparently and stays green verbatim.
- CostSum and main.rs drop their local triple consts for the shared
  COST_FIELD_NAMES — the cycle-2 audit-flagged by-convention 3-field lockstep is
  now a structural single-source contract (the four copies of the triple collapse
  to one). main.rs also reads COST_WIDTH in place of the literal slot stride.

Behaviour-preserving: the builders emit unchanged schemas (same port names), so
the wiring, the net_r_equity seam, and summarize_r are untouched; the
numerator/latched token form is preserved verbatim (IEEE-754 byte-identity). The
existing suite is the regression net — all green: the per-node unit tests pass
verbatim (0.5/1.5, 0.375/1.375), the composition E2E exact, the C18 no-cost
golden byte-identical. Two new CLI characterization goldens pin the exact
net_expectancy_r of the flat and composed cost paths (the prior tests only
asserted net < gross, which a numerator drift would pass silently). New cost.rs
runner/contract tests + the HalfSpreadCost author doctest cover the new surface.

Deviation from the plan: CostNode::name() was dropped (the plan over-specified
it) — it is dead surface, nothing consumes it (CostRunner forwards label();
cost_node_builder takes the name as an explicit arg). Removed from the trait,
both impls, the doctest, and the test stubs; build + suite + clippy green.

Verified: cargo build --workspace --all-targets clean; cargo test --workspace
0 failures; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; doctest
green.

Brummel 7f3756a395 feat(0082): cost-graph composition — VolSlippageCost + CostSum net-R aggregate
Cycle 2 of the "Cost-model graph (in R)" milestone (#148): the milestone's real
architectural claim — the cost graph composes. Two cost nodes now sum into one
net-R curve while summarize_r and the net_r_equity tap stay structurally
unchanged.

- VolSlippageCost (aura-std): a second, STATE-DEPENDENT cost node; per-trade
  charge = slip_vol_mult * volatility / |entry-stop|, in R. The vol is an
  independent short-horizon realized range (SLIP_VOL_LENGTH=5, distinct from the
  stop's EWMA-3) — scaling slippage by the stop's own vol would collapse cost-in-R
  to a constant (indistinguishable from ConstantCost).
- CostSum (aura-std): the cost-graph OUTPUT node — sums N cost nodes' 3-field
  cost-in-R records per-field into one aggregate. summarize_r and net_r_equity
  read the aggregate (one home for cost; n=1 is the identity, so the cost path is
  uniform). A future CostNode trait (deferred) will unify the cost-triple the two
  producer nodes currently restate by-convention.
- Run path: --cost-per-trade and --slip-vol-mult combine, their costs summing into
  the net-R curve; a hoisted vol proxy (RollingMax-RollingMin) keeps the single
  feed. Run-path-scoped; sweep/walkforward/mc pass None.

Co-temporality contract (the load-bearing design decision; corrected from the
signed spec after the implement-loop correctly BLOCKED Task 3 on it). summarize_r
positional-joins cost[i] <-> record[i], so the cost stream must be co-temporal
1:1 with the PM record. A cost node is therefore gated ONLY by the PM geometry
(closed/open/entry/stop); a not-yet-warm state input (the vol proxy warms later
than PM) contributes 0 cost that cycle rather than withholding and desyncing the
stream. This makes co-temporality structural + warmup-independent, preserves the
C18 golden, and generalizes to any future cost factor. The rejected alternative
(a key-join in summarize_r) would have moved the golden and pushed cost-graph
logic into the post-run fold. Recorded on #148.

Tests: VolSlippageCost + CostSum unit sets (incl. the co-temporal-zero-during-
warmup case); the CLI composition run (both flags -> net_both < net_flat,
net_r_equity persisted); node-level EXACT additive composition (net_both ==
net_flat + net_vol - gross over the real nodes), the aggregate net_r_equity ==
post-run net total, and CostSum(1) identity. Full workspace suite green; clippy
-D warnings clean; the no-cost C18 golden byte-identical (the regression floor).

Deferred (later cycles of this milestone): the general CostNode trait + cost-graph
composite-builder (now justified by two concrete nodes), the conviction-weighting
R-aggregation axis, and cost on the reduce-mode sweep path. Spec + plan amended to
the corrected contract; both are cycle ephemera (git rm at cycle close).

Brummel 3fe4684190 feat(0081): cost-model graph cycle 1 — ConstantCost node + net-R seam
Lands the first cycle of the "Cost-model graph (in R)" milestone: cost is
now a composable in-graph node, not a post-run scalar (C10).

- ConstantCost (aura-std): a flat round-trip cost per trade, emitted in R
  as a 3-field record {cost_in_r, cum_cost_in_r, open_cost_in_r} isomorphic
  to PositionManagement's R-triple. R-pure: cost_in_r = cost_per_trade /
  |entry-stop|; notional cancels, no equity held.
- summarize_r folds the cost stream into net_expectancy_r, replacing its
  scalar round_trip_cost (one home for cost, no double-count). Positional
  co-temporal join; an empty stream is the gross-R baseline.
- net_r_equity tap (stage1_r_graph): LinComb(4) over [cum_realized_r,
  unrealized_r, -cum_cost_in_r, -open_cost_in_r] -> Recorder, a sibling of
  r_equity; --cost-per-trade on the run path wires the node + tap + fold.
- A no-cost run is byte-identical: no net_r_equity tap, net == gross, the
  C18 golden unchanged.

Tests: exact-subsumption (the node-stream net == mean(r_i - cost_i) over
ALL trades incl. the window-end open one), the in-graph net_r_equity tap +
net < gross E2E, the no-cost golden held. Full suite green; clippy clean.

Implement-time decisions ratified (recorded on #148): the cost stream is
recorded 3-wide (the node's full output; summarize_r reads col 0/2, col 1
feeds the in-graph net curve) — resolving a 2-wide/3-wide inconsistency in
the plan's Step 3; Trade drops its `latched` field (cost now arrives in R),
so r_col ENTRY_PRICE/STOP_PRICE become #[allow(dead_code)] layout contract.

Scoped to the run path (non-reduce); sweep/walkforward/mc pass None — cost
on the reduce-mode sweep path and OOS-pooling cost are a deferred follow-up.

Known pre-existing concern (not this cycle): aura-std lib.rs module doc
still names "realistic broker profiles", retired by the C10 rework.

Brummel 0a06afed29 feat(0078): cross-instrument generalization as a validation step
Last piece of the Inferential-validation milestone (#146): a new
`aura generalize` subcommand grades how consistently a single candidate
holds across a set of instruments — the across-instrument axis of the
same anti-false-discovery concern as trials-deflation (#144, within one
family) and plateau-over-peak (#145, within one instrument's surface).

Aggregator/validator, not a third selector (user-ratified): it runs a
brought candidate (a single-cell stage1-r grid — --fast/--slow/--stop-
length/--stop-k pinned to single values) across an instrument list
(--real SYM1,SYM2,...), collects per-instrument R-metrics, and reduces
them to a worst-case floor (min over instruments) + a sign-agreement
count + the per-instrument breakdown. R-only (C10 — R is the only
account/instrument-agnostic unit); the worst-case min is the cross-
instrument sibling of PlateauMode::Worst and satisfies the non-
domination constraint by construction (a strong instrument cannot lift
a min). Rejected: a cross-instrument t-stat mean/std*sqrt(M), which
reintroduces the pooled mean the milestone warns against.

- RunManifest gains a first-class `instrument` lineage field (serde-
  widened, C14/C18 — legacy lines load as None, existing manifest bytes
  unchanged); the compat read-mirror threads it in lockstep.
- FamilyKind::CrossInstrument (C12 comparison axis); the M per-instrument
  runs persist as a CrossInstrument family, each member self-identifying
  via its stamped instrument. The aggregate is recomputable from the
  members (McAggregate precedent), printed live.
- The generalization reduction lives registry-side beside optimize_
  deflated/optimize_plateau (C9), reusing resolve_metric/metric_value/
  is_r_metric; check_r_metric is the data-free pre-check the CLI runs
  before evaluating any instrument.
- Additive: existing sweep/walkforward/mc/standalone paths stay byte-
  identical (C23 — instrument omitted when None via skip_serializing_if).

Verified by the orchestrator: cargo test --workspace green (0 failed —
the new generalization_*, check_r_metric, parse_generalize_*, and the
gated cross-instrument E2E all pass; the E2E ran the real GER40/USDJPY
path on this host, exit 0); cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets

Brummel cb32658fd1 feat(0077): prefer a robust parameter plateau over the in-sample peak
Add an opt-in plateau selection objective for walk-forward, recorded on the
same RunManifest.selection carrier #144 introduced. Default argmax is
byte-identical (C23); plateau is reached only via a new --select flag.

What landed:
- FamilySelection / SelectionMode reshape (report.rs): the selection RULE
  (mode) and its ANNOTATION are orthogonal — deflation fields become Option
  (present iff Argmax), plus PlateauMean/PlateauWorst variants and
  neighbourhood_score/n_neighbours (present iff Plateau*). Legacy lines still
  load: the deflation scalars deserialize from bare values via serde default
  (C14/C18). compat.rs embeds FamilySelection by value — reshape flows through
  untouched.
- GridSpace::axis_lens() + SweepBinder::sweep_with_lattice (engine): the grid
  radixes in param_space()/odometer order. sweep() delegates to
  sweep_with_lattice with the lattice dropped, so every existing .sweep()
  caller is byte-unchanged.
- optimize_plateau + PlateauMode + closed_neighbourhood (aura-registry, C9):
  each member scores as the mean/worst of its closed mixed-radix grid
  neighbourhood's metric_value; the winner is the smoothed argmax by the
  metric's direction (earliest-odometer tie, as optimize). Pure, no RNG (C1);
  in-sample only (C2). A higher_is_better helper now sources the per-metric
  direction once, shared by metric_cmp and optimize_plateau.
- CLI --select <argmax|plateau:mean|plateau:worst> (default argmax; unknown
  token exits 2). walkforward_family dispatches via a select_winner helper;
  sweep_over/stage1_r_sweep_over carry the lattice as Option<Vec<usize>>.
  runs-family display gains a plateau(<mode>)=<score> over <n> cells line.

RandomSpace-refuse: walkforward has no --random producer, so the
plateau-without-lattice guard is structural — select_winner returns the
refuse on a None lattice (the caller prints the message and exits 2),
unit-tested at the helper, not via a --random E2E (decided + recorded on #145
comment 1974, with the lattice-seam fork).

Tests: plateau-picks-plateau-not-spike, mean-vs-worst, lower-is-better
direction-flip, closed-neighbourhood golden, single-member degeneracy, C1
determinism; CLI select-parse, select_winner refuse; E2E argmax-byte-identical

Brummel a2959050a4 feat(0076): deflate the sweep winner's metric for the number of trials
Adds optimize_deflated beside optimize in aura-registry: the in-sample
walk-forward selection now records, on each OOS winner's manifest, how much
the winner's metric is inflated by the size of the search it won — a deflated
score and (R arm) an overfit probability — without changing which member wins
(additive, C23; a regression test pins optimize_deflated's winner == optimize's).

- R arm (sqn_normalized/expectancy_r/...): a centred moving-block reality-check.
  Each member's per-trade R series is mean-subtracted to impose the no-edge null,
  resampled via the r_bootstrap kernel (extracted to a shared resample_block,
  byte-identical), and the best-of-K null-max gives
  overfit_probability = (count(null >= raw)+1)/(n+1) and
  deflated_score = raw - p95(null). Deterministic given the seed (C1).
- total_pips arm: a closed-form expected-max-of-K dispersion floor
  (inv_norm_cdf + expected_max_of_normals), no probability.

The record (FamilySelection on RunManifest) rides the proven
serde(default, skip_serializing_if) widening + a compat.rs mirror, so legacy
runs.jsonl/families.jsonl lines load unchanged and unstamped sweep/mc/standalone
manifests stay byte-identical (C14/C18). The SelectionMode enum reserves a
Plateau slot for #145. CLI: walk-forward stamps both arms; runs family <id> rank
surfaces a human-readable deflated/overfit line.

Quality review (re-dispatched after the implement-loop's quality gate exhausted)
caught a real defect: on the R arm with positive resamples but no member carrying
trade_rs (a family loaded from disk — trade_rs is serde-skipped), the null was
all-NEG_INFINITY, turning deflated_score into +inf. Fixed by collapsing "no usable
null" (zero resamples OR no trade_rs) into one degenerate floor (deflated == raw,
overfit == 1.0); pinned by optimize_deflated_no_trade_rs_floors_instead_of_infinity.

Verified: cargo test --workspace and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings both green. Frictionless Stage-1 R; n_eff advisory and reload-time

Brummel 2e77ab1dda feat(0075): Monte-Carlo R-bootstrap for OOS validation (iter 2)
Add `aura mc --strategy stage1-r [--real <SYM>]`: run the stage1-r
walk-forward, pool its OOS per-trade R series, and report a moving-block
bootstrap E[R] distribution / CI (one `mc_r_bootstrap` line with an `e_r`
quantile block + P(E[R]<=0)). Completes spec 0075's Monte-Carlo half on top
of iter 1's walk-forward R-reporting.

Engine: `r_bootstrap(rs, n_resamples, block_len, seed) -> RBootstrap` — a
deterministic moving-block bootstrap (non-circular, final block truncated;
block_len=1 = i.i.d. trade-shuffle; clamped to [1,n]; empty -> all-zero),
reusing the existing MetricStats/quantile and SplitMix64.

CLI: parse_mc_args/McArgs split — bare/`--name`/`--trace` route to the
unchanged synthetic seed-resweep `run_mc` (byte-for-byte preserved); the R
path accepts ONLY `--strategy stage1-r`, so a bare `--real` stays a usage
error (mc_rejects_real_flag_with_usage_exit_2 preserved, doc-comment
refreshed). run_mc_r_bootstrap reuses walkforward_family + RMetrics.trade_rs.

Corrective fixes over the plan snippets, both verified: the mc usage string
carries a `usage:` token (the new `["mc", rest @ ..]` arm now handles the
`--real` rejection, and the preserved golden asserts `stderr.contains
("usage")`); `#[allow(clippy::large_enum_variant)]` on McArgs keeps the
unboxed Stage1RGrid field layout.

Scope: single `--real <SYM>` per invocation; cross-symbol pooling is a
deferred follow-on (needs a multi-symbol grammar). Verified: cargo build
clean, full `cargo test --workspace` green (609 passed), clippy -D warnings
clean; bare `aura mc`, SMA walkforward, stage1-r single-run, and C18
round-trip goldens all preserved.

Brummel f286bb85f7 feat(0075): walk-forward strategy-selectable + R-reporting (iter 1)
Make `aura walkforward --strategy stage1-r [--real <SYM>]` roll IS->OOS
windows, sweep the stage1-r grid in-sample, pick the winner by an R metric
(sqn_normalized), run it out-of-sample, and report per-window + pooled OOS
R-metrics. The bare SMA walkforward path is byte-identical (its dispatch arm
is verbatim today's body; the pooled `oos_r` block is emitted only when a
window carries an `r` block).

Engine:
- RMetrics gains an in-memory `trade_rs: Vec<f64>` (realised R per closed
  trade), excluded from serde (`#[serde(skip)]`) and from a hand-written
  PartialEq, so the C18 wire shape and every existing equality assertion /
  round-trip stay unchanged. summarize_r now retains the per-trade R vector
  it used to drop.
- New `r_metrics_from_rs(&[f64])` reduces a flat (pooled across-window) R
  series to RMetrics. Its R-distribution arithmetic is copied verbatim from
  summarize_r (the byte-pinned floats must not be algebraically refactored);
  the two copies are guarded in lockstep by a cross-reducer equality test.
  net_expectancy_r = expectancy_r (exact at the Stage-1 cost=0 invariant);

Brummel 7e4b91ab5f feat(0074): source real-path pip from the geometry sidecar; drop the authored floor
The data-server now ships per-symbol geometry sidecars, so aura no longer
hard-codes instrument geometry. A consumption grep showed production reads
exactly one `InstrumentSpec` field — `pip_size` — at the real-data path; the
other eight (incl. `instrument_id`) were constructed but never read.

- aura-cli resolves the real-path pip from the recorded sidecar
  (`instrument_geometry` -> `InstrumentGeometry.pip_size`), refusing (exit 2)
  on absent geometry. The authored table no longer gates: any symbol with a
  sidecar + bars now runs (new test: USDJPY, never vetted, resolves its JPY
  pip 0.01 from the sidecar).
- Removed the redundant authored floor: `InstrumentSpec`, `instrument_spec`,
  `VETTED_SYMBOLS`, and the table-only tests. The `InstrumentGeometry` seam
  (the surviving pip source) and its nameability guard are kept.
- `instrument_id` (the "find out"): no production consumer. The position-event
  table's `instrument_id` is a decoupled caller parameter; the engine never
  imports an instrument spec. Dropped with the struct.
- The example `pip_size_of` is re-sourced to the sidecar; the pure-structural
  blueprint tests use a literal pip to stay archive-independent.

Speculative deploy-grade fields and the #124 override/floor tiers are deferred
to the Stage-2 broker that will consume them, read from the sidecar geometry
then. Ledger (C8/C15/#22/#106) updated; #124 collapses to "recorded sidecar
geometry -> refuse" in the meantime.

Verified: cargo test --workspace (all green), clippy -D warnings clean, cargo
doc clean, with the local archive present so the sidecar paths run.

Brummel 216cc8c417 feat(0072): stage1 mean-reversion candidate — EWMA Bollinger fade (#137)
Third price-only Stage-1 R strategy: aura sweep --strategy stage1-meanrev fades
deviation from a rolling mean (price above mean+k*sigma -> short, below -> long,
latched +-1), feeding the unchanged bias -> RiskExecutor (vol-stop = R) -> flat-1R
seam. sigma = Sqrt(Ema((price-Ema(price))^2)) reuses the vol_stop deviation-
squared-then-smoothed shape, so the band is built from existing aura-std nodes
(Ema/Sub/Mul/Sqrt/LinComb/Add/Gt/Latch) -> ZERO new nodes. No Delay: the current
bar legitimately belongs to its own band (causal, C2). Swept knobs: --window (one
Ema length ganged across mean+variance) and --band-k; downstream vol-stop R knobs
unchanged.

An in-file test reads the SHIPPED graph's exposure tap to pin the fade polarity
(short above the band, long below) — a latch-set/reset copy-paste from breakout
would invert the signal yet leave the fold-vs-raw and window-grid CLI tests
green. All 588 workspace tests pass (existing R/sma/momentum/breakout goldens
byte-identical); clippy clean.

Brummel d845c509d3 feat(0071): stage1 breakout candidate — Donchian channel signal (#137)
A second Stage-1 R strategy candidate for the edge-research milestone, a structurally
different trend mechanic than the refuted SMA-momentum: a Donchian channel breakout.
Swaps only the signal leg of the stage1-r graph —
close -> Delay(1) -> {RollingMax,RollingMin}(N) -> {Gt,Gt} -> {Latch,Latch} ->
Sub = bias in {-1,0,+1} — keeping the vol-stop R definition unchanged, so it screens
under the identical R yardstick (clean A/B vs momentum).

- aura-std: new RollingMax / RollingMin nodes (sliding-window extremum via a monotonic
  deque, O(1) amortized; mirror the Sma/Delay ring-buffer shape, warm-up skip-emit,
  C7/C8). The +/-1 direction latch composes from two existing Latch nodes + Sub (no new
  latch type).
- aura-cli: stage1_breakout_graph + a manual-grid stage1_breakout_sweep_family
  (fully-bound graph per point, sidestepping parameter-ganging since one channel length
  drives both rolling nodes); --strategy stage1-breakout + --channel grid flag; usage
  strings updated.
- Causality (C2): one Delay(1) on close feeds both rolling nodes, so each channel covers
  close[t-N..t-1] — the current bar is excluded. Pinned by a contrastive e2e test (a
  strictly rising series up-breaks every warmed bar; a window including the current bar
  never could) plus a +/-1-latch-hold test.

All existing goldens byte-identical (stage1-r/sma/momentum untouched); folded-no-trace
== raw-trace metrics; workspace tests + clippy green.

Brummel eb8653488f feat(0070): wire folding sink reductions into the stage1-r sweep (closes #138)
Completes the M3 fix for BLOCKER #138. The no-trace stage1-r sweep now folds its
reductions online: `stage1_r_graph(reduce=true)` wires `SeriesReducer` (equity,
exposure -> one summary row each) and `GatedRecorder` (gated on
`closed_this_cycle` -> only the trade rows + the final row), and the folded
consumer rebuilds `RunMetrics` from those compact outputs. Per-member memory drops
from O(cycles) (~2 GiB over ~5.5M one-minute bars) to O(trades), so full-history
multi-member sweeps no longer exhaust RAM+swap. The `r_equity` tap is omitted when
reducing (it is consumed only by the `--trace` persistence path).

`reduce = trace.is_none()`: the `--trace` path and the single `run_stage1_r` keep
the raw recorders + `summarize`/`summarize_r` over full rows — the byte-for-byte
reference. A new CLI-seam test
(`sweep_strategy_stage1_r_folded_no_trace_metrics_equal_raw_trace_metrics`) proves
the folded no-trace sweep reports byte-identical per-member metrics to the raw
`--trace` path.

Verified: cargo test --workspace green (42 suites); cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -- -D warnings clean; stage1-r goldens byte-identical.

Brummel e94b79eb98 test(stage1-r-sweep): RED — grid all four knobs from CSV flags
Executable-spec for the strategy-research enabling change: expose the
stage1-r sweep's hardcoded timescales as CLI grids so a slow
time-series-momentum edge can be screened across timeframes.

- sweep_strategy_stage1_r_grids_all_four_knobs_from_csv_flags (RED):
  `aura sweep --strategy stage1-r --fast 240 --slow 960
  --stop-length 240 --stop-k 2.0` must yield a 1-member family whose
  member params are fast=240, slow=960, stop_length=240, stop_k=2.0.
  Fails today: the four flags are rejected (exit 2), gridding absent.
- sweep_strategy_stage1_r_no_flags_keeps_the_default_grid (guard,
  green today): a no-flags sweep still yields the {2,3}×{6,12} 4-member
  family with the stop pinned at 3 / 2.0, so existing goldens stay
  byte-green once the feature lands.

Brummel 89d967a940 feat(0067): SQN100 metric + stage1-r sweep --trace
Two additive follow-ups to the cycle-0065/0066 R-sweep surface.

Part A (#130) — n-normalized SQN (SQN100): RMetrics gains sqn_normalized =
(mean_R/stdev_R)·√(min(n,100)), a turnover-robust ranking objective comparable
across sweep members with different trade counts. The raw sqn is kept
byte-identical (computed sqrt(n)*mean/sd, NOT via a factored shared ratio, so
the existing metric does not drift even by 1 ULP). The field carries
#[serde(default)] for C18 back-compat (a pre-0067 r: block deserialises with
sqn_normalized = 0.0). The registry learns Metric::SqnNormalized (opt-in; the
default ranker and raw sqn are unchanged), so `runs family rank sqn_normalized`
works. The 0066 single-run golden is re-baselined (the r: block gains the
field; for n=3 ≤ 100 the cap is inactive so sqn_normalized == sqn).

Part B (#135) — wire --trace for the stage1-r sweep: stage1_r_sweep_family now
honours --trace, persisting each member's equity/exposure/r_equity under
runs/traces/<n>/<member_key>/ via the existing persist_traces_r (mirroring
momentum_sweep_family); the interim run_sweep refusal guard is dropped. --trace
is now symmetric across all three sweep strategies and a swept member is
chartable (chart <n>/<member> --tap r_equity).

Tests: SQN100 cap / below-cap / empty + serde back-compat (engine); rank-by
sqn_normalized + unknown-metric message (registry); an E2E guard that both
SQN values fold from recorded records and agree below the cap (the cross-crate
column seam); inverted stage1-r --trace persistence + a CLI rank-by-
sqn_normalized integration. Full workspace suite green (527 passed, 0 failed);
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean.

Derived fork decisions logged on #130 and #135 (cap = fixed const 100; opt-in
metric, default ranker unchanged; serde(default); Part B mirrors
momentum_sweep_family + reuses persist_traces_r).

Brummel 499121e5c8 fix(stage1-r): record fixed R-defining params in swept member manifests
Cycle-0066 close audit found a C18/C10 gap: a stage1-r sweep member's manifest recorded only the floated knobs (fast.length, slow.length) via zip_params, omitting the fixed R-defining params (stop_length, stop_k, bias_scale) that the single run records. A family member must be reproducible from its own manifest (C18), and the constant stop -- which defines 1R -- must be visible so cross-member SQN comparability (C10) is auditable from the family record, not just the swept fast/slow knobs. The sweep run_one now appends the three fixed params, matching the single run; the integration test pins their presence per member.

Brummel b8ed6f4858 feat(stage1-r): R sweep families + rank-by-SQN
Realizes #133 (cycle 0066): SQN becomes the single-number objective for ranking a
Stage-1 sweep family by R signal quality.

aura-registry — metric_cmp learns three higher-is-better R metrics (sqn,
expectancy_r, net_expectancy_r) that reach into RunReport.metrics.r; a member with
r:None sorts to the worst position (treated as -inf via total_cmp), so a pip-only
family ranked by an R metric degrades to ordinal order without error. The
UnknownMetric "known:" list is extended. No persistence change — the family store
already carries the r block.

aura-cli — `aura sweep --strategy stage1-r` sweeps the stage1-r harness over a
fast×slow SIGNAL grid (4 members), each folding the dense R-record via summarize_r so
its RunReport carries r:Some(..). The grid varies only the signal: the stop and
sizing are held fixed because risk_budget is R-invariant (#128) and bias.scale is
sign-only under flat-1R (both degenerate axes for the ranked metric), and because the
stop defines the R unit — varying it would break cross-member SQN comparability (the
motivation for the deferred SQN100, #130). The stage1-r topology is extracted into a
shared stage1_r_graph(.., fast_len, slow_len) helper: the single run binds
Some(2)/Some(4) (output byte-unchanged), only the sweep floats the knobs.

Per-member --trace tracing is deferred (a follow-up): rather than accept the flag and
silently write nothing (a quality-review catch), `aura sweep --strategy stage1-r
--trace` is refused explicitly (exit 2); --name records the rankable family.

Verification — a golden characterization test (stage1_r_single_run_output_golden,
added against HEAD before the refactor) verifies the helper extraction is
byte-preserving; full workspace suite 521 passed / 0 failed; clippy --all-targets
-D warnings clean. The grounding-check that signed the spec first BLOCKed a false
"already byte-pinned" claim, which is why the golden is added rather than assumed.
All load-bearing forks (signal-only grid, None-sorts-worst, --trace refusal, helper
extraction, golden shape) are recorded on the #133 decision log.

Brummel 68605b7d88 refactor(stage1-r): rename the strategy-output param namespace exposure -> bias
Complete the deferred rename tail from cycle 0065's #126 (which renamed only the
typed metric, keeping the param namespace uniformly "exposure" so the single-run
rename would not smuggle in a ~30-site sweep-pinned change). Now renamed together
as one consistent unit, all driven by the Bias node's instance name:

- Bias::builder().named("exposure") -> .named("bias") (the harness builders +
  the engine fixtures in test_fixtures.rs / blueprint.rs);
- the derived knob path exposure.scale -> bias.scale (Composite::param_space
  derives the knob from the node name) -- the sweep .axis/.range bindings and
  .with() points (blueprint.rs, main.rs), the walkforward ParamSpecs
  (walkforward.rs), the member_key dir names, and the JSON byte-pins in
  cli_run.rs / report.rs / main.rs tests;
- the exposure_scale manifest param label -> bias_scale (the single-run manifest
  builders + the streaming_seam / real_bars fixtures).

The rename is surgical: the three targets (named("exposure"), exposure.scale,
exposure_scale) are syntactically distinct from the deliberately-kept "exposure"
forms, which are untouched -- SimBroker's pre-reframe exposure input slot +
prev_exposure + the exposure-integral; the LongOnly / gate / latch ports named
"exposure"; and the on-disk "exposure" tap label (the recorded bias series that
feeds `chart --tap exposure`, decoupled from the node name via
ColumnarTrace::from_rows("exposure", ...)).

No on-disk back-compat break: the knob path is a runtime param address, and
recorded params in old runs.jsonl / families.jsonl are inert data strings (a
pre-existing recorded "exposure.scale" still loads, it is just data).

INDEX.md cycle-0065 realization note amended: the param namespace is recorded as
the now-completed tail; the SimBroker slot + the on-disk tap label remain the
deliberate permanent keeps (#117), and exposure_sign_flips stays a serde alias.

Verified: cargo build --workspace --all-targets clean; clippy --all-targets

together); live `aura run` emits "bias_scale", `aura sweep` emits "bias.scale".

Brummel 5c6de45b6e fix(cli): list valid taps on bad --tap, make --help uniform across subcommands
Two CLI-UX defects the Stage-1 R fieldtest surfaced (#131):

1. Tap discovery. `aura chart <name> --tap <bad>` rejected an unknown tap but
   the error omitted the valid names. filter_to_tap now enumerates the run's
   available taps in the message ("... (available: equity, exposure)"), so the
   user can correct a typo instead of guessing -- refuse, but help.

2. Uniform --help. `aura chart --help` errored with "unexpected chart argument
   '--help'" (exit 2) and `aura run --help` leaked usage to stderr via the
   error path, while bare `aura --help` printed to stdout (exit 0). main() now
   intercepts `--help`/`-h` anywhere in the invocation, prints usage to stdout,
   and exits 0 -- uniform for every subcommand. The now-dead bare-flag match arm
   is removed (the early intercept covers it).

RED-first: the existing chart_tap_nonexistent test gains an available-taps
assertion (was: message had no names), and a new per_subcommand_help test pins
`aura <sub> --help` -> stdout usage + exit 0 for run/chart/sweep/walkforward/
mc/graph/runs (was: chart --help exited 2). Unknown-subcommand stays exit 2.

Verified: clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; full suite 514 passed / 0

Brummel c6c1d3bb10 feat(stage1-r): rename the exposure_sign_flips metric to bias_sign_flips (#126)
Complete the typed-field half of the exposure->bias rename - the one the cycle-0065
close audit flagged as aging worst (a serde-stable on-disk key).

- RunMetrics.exposure_sign_flips -> bias_sign_flips with
  #[serde(alias = "exposure_sign_flips")], so legacy runs.jsonl still deserialises
  (pinned by the legacy-read tests, which keep the old key); new output serialises
  bias_sign_flips (the byte-pin tests updated to the new key).
- The registry rank metric: Metric::ExposureSignFlips -> BiasSignFlips, the rank
  string accepts BOTH "bias_sign_flips" and "exposure_sign_flips" (CLI back-compat),
  the error/listing updated; the rank tests exercise both names.
- The MC aggregate field renamed too (McAggregate is hand-rendered to JSON, not
  serde-derived - no alias needed).

Scope held to the typed metric. The strategy-output PARAM NAMESPACE - the
.named("exposure") Bias instance, its exposure.scale knob path (Composite::param_space
derives the knob from the node name), and the exposure_scale manifest label - is a
coherent ~30-site, sweep-pinned surface (the implement loop correctly flagged renaming
the knob as an unscoped expansion touching walkforward + the cli_run byte-pins). Kept
uniformly as "exposure" and deferred to a follow-on so the cluster renames as one
consistent unit. SimBroker's pre-reframe exposure concept and the on-disk "exposure"
tap label stay by the #117 fork decision.

cargo test --workspace green; clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; a
live `aura run --harness stage1-r` emits "bias_sign_flips".

Brummel a6fc48daa7 feat(stage1-r): operate the R layer from the CLI (iter 3)
`aura run --harness stage1-r [--real <SYM>] [--trace <n>]` now runs a Stage-1 R
backtest and prints its signal-quality metrics (the R block) in the RunReport
JSON - one shell call, the research loop's primary verb, ergonomic for Claude
to drive.

What shipped:
- vol_stop + risk_executor promoted from test fixtures to public aura-engine
  composite-builders, with a StopRule{Fixed,Vol} axis (C11). aura-std becomes a
  normal dependency of aura-engine (the composites are the engine's convenience
  layer over the standard nodes - the sibling tier of summarize_r; the graph
  stays acyclic: aura-engine -> aura-std -> aura-core). Both fixtures call the
  public fns; a Vol-backed RED test pins the new match arm.
- stage1_r_blueprint fans one bias into BOTH a SimBroker (pip) and the
  RiskExecutor (R), so one report carries both yardsticks honestly. run_stage1_r
  folds summarize (pip) + summarize_r (R, round_trip_cost 0.0 - Stage-1 is
  frictionless signal quality) and sets RunMetrics.r = Some(..). An r_equity tap
  (cum_realized_r + unrealized_r via LinComb) persists through a separate 3-tap
  persist_traces_r and renders via the existing `aura chart --tap r_equity`.
- `aura run --harness <sma|macd|stage1-r>`: a parse_run_args tokenizer replaces
  the five `run` literal-slice arms so --harness/--real/--from/--to/--trace
  compose in any order; --macd kept as a back-compat alias; --harness sma the
  default. A compile-time match over Rust-authored built-ins - not a runtime node
  registry, not a DSL (C9/C17): the CLI runs an authored harness, it does not
  wire one.

Back-compat: --harness sma/macd leave RunMetrics.r = None, so skip_serializing_if
keeps pip-only and legacy runs.jsonl JSON byte-unchanged; the plain-run tap list
stays ["equity","exposure"].

Refactor beyond the plan (verified behavior-equivalent): the old standalone
parse_real_args was orphaned by the new tokenizer, so it and its now-redundant
unit test were removed and run's --real parsing inlined into parse_run_args. The
--real strictness (empty-symbol, non-i64 ms, repeated-flag, window-requires-real
-> exit 2) is preserved and now pinned by
parse_run_args_rejects_malformed_real_and_repeated_flags (added to restore the
deleted coverage). All five run_real integration tests stay green.

Verification: cargo build/test --workspace green (every crate, 0 failed); clippy
--workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean. The full diff was adversarially
reviewed (run-arg refactor equivalence against the removed function, harness
wiring, C1/C2/C9/C17, the serde back-compat pin) - verdict SOUND; the one flagged
coverage gap is closed here.

Follow-on (noted, not done): the stage1-r manifest reuses the
"sim-optimal(pip_size=...)" broker label; a dedicated "risk-executor" label would
read more honestly for a dual-tap harness that runs a RiskExecutor branch.

Brummel 476342d7b1 feat(chart): decimate served pages + run-context header (visual World cut 2)
Hardens the families-comparison chart page (#107) so it is openable and legible on
real multi-year data. Two halves, both confined to the CLI render path (engine +
registry untouched, C14):

#108 — serve-time min-max decimation. A pure `decimate(ChartData, buckets)`
transform partitions the shared union-ts spine into <=~2000 buckets and emits each
series' per-bucket min+max (nulls preserved), bounding the served page to a few
thousand points regardless of the underlying M1 point count. Applied in emit_chart
on both the single-run and family paths; a no-op under budget (every existing
fixture). Full recorded data stays on disk; only the page is thinned. For a
walk-forward family the null-fill blow-up collapses for free (an all-null bucket
stays null). Deterministic (C1).

#102 — a run-context header. A `ChartMeta` (name/commit/window/broker/seed/taps,
+ member count for a family, + bound params for a single run) is built from the
RunManifest in build_chart_data / build_comparison_chart_data (which gain a `name`
arg), injected into window.AURA_TRACES.meta, and rendered by a new pure buildHeader
in chart-viewer.js (headless .mjs-guarded). The family window is the SPAN across
members (min from, max to), not the first member's window — the only reading that
labels a disjoint walk-forward family's true OOS coverage (it collapses to the
shared window for sweep/MC). Reuses the existing render_value for param display
(no new Scalar Display, keeping C7's tag-only param plane). The earlier
"manifest is NOT carried into the page" render pin is flipped to a positive one.

Verified: cargo test --workspace = 446 passed / 0 failed; cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -D warnings clean. New coverage: 5 decimate unit tests, single-run +
family meta wiring (incl. the span-window invariant), a buildHeader headless guard,
and two end-to-end cli_run tests pinning the served-page meta at the binary boundary.

Brummel 4c64feb9ed feat(chart): aura chart <family> overlays a family's members; --tap + write-guard
`aura chart <name>` now branches on the name's on-disk kind: a single run charts
its taps as before; a FAMILY overlays one tap (default equity) across all its
members in one self-contained uPlot page, consistent across sweep / MC /
walk-forward. Members share ONE y-scale (they measure one quantity — that is what
makes the overlay comparable, unlike the single-run overlay of different taps),
and align on the union-ts spine via the existing join_on_ts: sweep/MC members
share the window (true overlay), walk-forward members are disjoint OOS windows
(null-complementary -> the stitched curve). One mechanism, three correct readings.

- build_comparison_chart_data (one labelled Series per member, shared y_scale_id);
  filter_to_tap (single-run --tap restricts to one tap; no --tap = all taps,
  unchanged); parse_chart_args (`<name> [--tap <t>] [--panels]`, any order);
  emit_chart name-kind branch; USAGE updated.
- Write-guard: ensure_name_free is now called once per tracing command (run /
  run --macd / run --real -> Run; sweep / mc / walkforward -> Family) so a name
  cannot be reused across kinds — name resolution stays a total function.

Plan 0060 Tasks 4-5 (#106): wire `aura sweep|walkforward --real` end to end.

- A shared RealWindowGrammar accumulator holds the `--real <SYMBOL> [--from <ms>]
  [--to <ms>]` grammar (flag-repeat strictness, empty-symbol + window-without-real
  rejection) for both parsers, mirroring parse_real_args.
- parse_sweep_args grows the DataChoice 4th element; parse_walkforward_args is new
  (no --strategy axis). The sweep + walkforward dispatch arms become rest-matched,
  build the DataSource via from_choice (build-or-refuse on un-vetted symbol /
  absent data), and run. USAGE documents the --real tails. mc stays exact-matched,
  so `aura mc --real` falls through to usage + exit(2) — Fork A: MC excluded (its
  seed varies a synthetic price-walk, undefined over real data).
- Gated integration tests (skip on no local data): sweep --real EURUSD persists 4
  portable member dirs over real bars and charts; walkforward --real EURUSD
  persists one oos<ns> dir per rolling window; same real sweep twice is
  byte-identical (C1). Un-gated: un-vetted symbol, window-without-real, and
  mc --real each refuse with exit 2.
- Remove the now-redundant `#[allow(dead_code)]` from the Task-1 provider: every

Verified end-to-end over real EURUSD data: sweep --real -> 4 members; walkforward

Brummel 0b73a75d4b feat(momentum): bool-param demo strategy + aura sweep --strategy selector
Proves the #105 generic portable member key end-to-end: a demo strategy whose
params have nothing in common with the SMA-cross demo, swept by the same
machinery, with a bool axis surfacing — conformant — in the member dir names.

- momentum strategy: price -> Ema(length:i64) -> Sub(price-ema) ->
  Exposure(scale:f64) -> LongOnly(enabled:bool) -> SimBroker. Three swept params
  of three kinds incl. a bool; the exposure sink taps the post-gate exposure so
  the bool's effect is in the trace.
- aura sweep gains --strategy <sma|momentum> via a pure, unit-tested
  parse_sweep_args (mirroring parse_real_args); default = SMA-cross, so the
  existing bare / --name / --trace forms are unchanged.
- `aura sweep --strategy momentum --trace mom` persists 8 member dirs named e.g.
  ema.length-5_exposure.scale-0.5_longonly.enabled-true — the bool in the dir
  name, every name matching [A-Za-z0-9._-], each chartable.
- ledger (docs/design/INDEX.md): the C22/#101 member-key note's sweep clause
  amended to the generalised portable form (MC seed{N} / walk-forward oos{ns}
  unchanged).

Self-verified: cargo build --workspace, cargo test --workspace (all green incl.
momentum_param_space_is_ema_exposure_longonly, the 8-point determinism test,
the parse_sweep_args grammar test, and the momentum_sweep_trace integration test

Brummel 27f850dc52 feat(sweep-key): generic filesystem-portable member key + LongOnly bool node
Generalises the #105 foot-gun: the family-member trace key was derived from two
hardcoded axis names (f{fast}s{slow}), collision-free only over the built-in SMA
grid. It is now derived from the axes that actually VARY
(SweepBinder::varying_axes) and rendered as a filesystem-conformant directory
component:
- charset restricted to [A-Za-z0-9._-] (valid on Linux/Windows/macOS, also
  URL-path- and cloud-sync-safe); any other byte sanitised;
- case-less values (i64/timestamp decimal, bool true/false, f64 via Display, no
  scientific notation) so two members of one family never differ only by letter
  case -> no silent overwrite on case-insensitive filesystems (NTFS/APFS);
- length-capped (MAX_KEY=200) with a version-stable FNV-1a fallback for the
  unbounded-grid edge.

Pinned singleton axes are omitted; the SMA sweep's member dirs change from f2s4
to signals.trend.fast.length-2_signals.trend.slow.length-4 (its --trace
integration test + the stale prose updated accordingly).

Adds the first aura-std node with a bool *param*, LongOnly (a long-only exposure
gate: enabled=true clamps short exposure to >=0, false passes through) — the
block the momentum demo strategy (next commit) sweeps to prove the key generic
over a bool axis. The engine change is one additive pure read accessor; no
existing signature changes, trace state stays out of the engine.

Self-verified: cargo build --workspace, cargo test --workspace (all green incl.
the LongOnly node tests, the member_key worked-examples corpus, the varying_axes
accessor test, and the updated SMA sweep-trace integration test), cargo clippy

Brummel d3cb5f8052 feat(family-traces): persist per-member streams for sweep/MC/walk-forward
Family runs (sweep, Monte-Carlo, walk-forward) ran a full harness per
member and drained its equity+exposure recorders, but immediately folded
the streams to metrics and discarded them — so the C21 family-comparison
view had no per-member data to chart. A new opt-in `--trace <name>` on
`aura sweep|mc|walkforward` now persists each member's streams to disk,
mirroring the single-run `aura run --trace` path. Any single member is
chartable today via `aura chart <name>/<member_key>`; the comparison view
itself is a later cycle.

Design:
- Persist INSIDE each per-member closure (aura-cli), reusing persist_traces
  verbatim — the engine and the family types are untouched. The closures
  already held the drained rows; they now bind them once, build the
  manifest, persist when --trace is set, then fold as before.
- Content-derived, deterministic member keys (MC seed{N}, sweep f{fast}s{slow},
  walk-forward oos{ns}). The engine HOFs are Fn + Sync — members run in
  parallel, so a runtime ordinal counter would be non-deterministic (a C1
  break); keys derive from what each closure receives deterministically.
  sweep_member_key panics (naming the axis) if the grid lacks a key axis,
  rather than silently collapsing two points to a shared dir.
- Each member is a standalone run-dir at runs/traces/<name>/<member_key>/
  (persist_traces with a slash-name; TraceStore nests via create_dir_all),
  so the existing single-run viewer charts a member with no view-side code.
- Opt-in: without --trace, stdout and the run registry are byte-unchanged;
  the cardinality cost of N members x full resolution stays user-chosen.

Out of scope (deferred): the family-comparison view (overlay/small-multiples),
decimation/LOD, a binary trace container.

Verified locally: cargo build --workspace, cargo test --workspace (all green,
incl. 3 new family persistence tests + a sweep determinism test + 2
sweep_member_key unit tests), cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings (clean). The pre-existing family determinism and single-run
trace tests pass unchanged (no-trace path is byte-identical).

Brummel 15ee6d5f4f feat(trace-charts): serve persisted traces as a web chart (iter 2)
Iteration 2 (serve half) of the visual face — spec 0056 / plan 0056:
read a persisted run's traces and serve them as a self-contained uPlot
HTML chart. Completes the goal "tap data from a graph, serve it as a
chart in the browser".

- chart-viewer.js (first-party): a pure buildCharts(traces, mode) that
  maps the injected window.AURA_TRACES to uPlot configs (no DOM) — overlay
  = one plot, every series on its own y-scale over the shared xs; panels =
  one plot per series, all on the same timestamp x. A browser-only mount()
  instantiates the vendored global uPlot. Guarded by a node .mjs DOM test
  (+ a sparse/gaps variant) shelling out exactly like viewer_dot.rs.
- render_chart_html + ChartMode/ChartData/Series (aura-cli/render.rs):
  mirrors render_html — self-contained page, uPlot (1.6.32, vendored
  d534f10) + chart-viewer.js inlined via include_str!, data injected as
  window.AURA_TRACES.
- emit_chart + build_chart_data (aura-cli/main.rs): the spec-§6 3-step
  union-spine alignment — xs = sorted-dedup union of every tap's ts; a
  synthetic empty-payload spine + ALL taps as symmetric join_on_ts sides
  (no tap privileged, no point dropped); flatten each (tap,column) to a
  Series of Option<f64>. New arms `aura chart <name> [--panels]`; a
  missing run is stderr + exit 2 (TraceStoreError::NotFound), never a
  panic. USAGE advertises the verb in lockstep.

Verified by the orchestrator: `cargo test --workspace` green (incl. the
node guards, render_chart_html, and the chart e2e); `cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets -D warnings` exit 0; and a real end-to-end —
`aura run --trace demo && aura chart demo` emits a 57KB self-contained
page (doctype + inlined uPlot + AURA_TRACES carrying the equity/exposure
series), `--panels` reflects the panels mode, `aura chart nope` exits 2.
Implementer deviation folded in (compiler-prescribed): serde added to
aura-cli/Cargo.toml for the Series derive (Cargo.lock updated).

Brummel 8bb5256041 feat(trace-charts): persist recorder taps to disk (iter 1)
Iteration 1 (persist half) of the visual face — spec 0056 / plan 0055:
tap data from a graph and save it to disk so it can later be charted
(the serve/chart half is iteration 2).

- ColumnarTrace (aura-engine): a drained tap <-> columnar SoA form
  ({tap, kinds, ts, columns}); values coerced to f64 for plotting with
  the base type preserved in `kinds` (C7); to_rows rebuilds uniformly-f64
  rows for the serve-side join. Pure (C1), beside join_on_ts/summarize.
- TraceStore (aura-registry): a per-run directory under
  runs/traces/<name>/ — one <tap>.json per tap + an index.json (manifest
  + tap order), beside the families.jsonl sibling store. Missing run =
  NotFound (no panic); corrupt file = Parse{file}.
- CLI: a shared persist_traces helper threaded into run_sample /
  run_macd / run_sample_real via an orthogonal `trace: Option<&str>`;
  new arms `aura run [--macd] --trace <name>` and `--trace <name>` on
  `run --real`. The default (no --trace) run is byte-for-byte unchanged.

Verified by the orchestrator: `cargo test --workspace` green (incl. the
4 columnar_trace, 3 trace_store, 4 cli_run e2e, and the 4-tuple
parse_real_args tests); `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D
warnings` exit 0. Implementer deviations folded in, all
compiler-prescribed: #[derive(Debug)] on RunTraces (the RED tests
panic-format a Result over it), #[allow(clippy::type_complexity)] on
the parse_real_args 4-tuple (mirrors the crate's sample_harness idiom).
Default-run byte-identity stays pinned by run_prints_json_and_exits_zero.

Brummel 3dac2c0c99 refactor(aura-cli): retire the dead-end runs list/rank CLI surface
Since cycle 0045 the flat runs.jsonl store has had no producer (sweep/mc/
walkforward persist to the family store; `aura run` does not persist), so
`aura runs list` / `runs rank` read a store nothing populates — a live dead-end
surface, the honesty gap the Runway milestone closes.

Resolve the C18 deferred fork (INDEX.md) as (b) RETIRE: drop the two CLI commands
+ their dispatch arms, usage fragments, and the now-unused load_runs_or_exit.
Families (sweep/mc/walkforward, C21) subsume standalone over-time comparison. The
aura-registry flat lib API (append/load/rank_by/optimize) is RETAINED — optimize
backs walk-forward's in-sample step, rank_by backs `runs family ... rank`.
`runs families` / `runs family` are untouched.

Decision recorded on #73 (user-directed (b), 2026-06-18). Cosmetic sub-item
(json! family-wrapper -> to_json() stdout key-order unification) deferred to a
follow-up: json! routes the embedded report through serde_json::Value, which
re-alphabetizes keys, so it needs manual JSON construction, not a trivial swap.

RED-first: the retire test asserted `runs list`/`rank` now exit 2 (was exit 0).
Verified: cargo build --workspace, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, and
cargo test --workspace all green.

Brummel 26bec6d64a feat: per-instrument pip metadata channel for the sim-optimal broker
The data-server symbol stream carries only price bars, no instrument metadata.
So SimBroker was constructed with one global pip_size literal (0.0001, correct
only for 5-decimal FX), and `aura run --real <symbol>` emitted wrong-unit pip
equity for any non-FX instrument (AAPL.US, BTCUSD off by orders of magnitude).

Add the missing channel to *specify* per-instrument pip:

- aura-ingest: `InstrumentSpec { pip_size }` + `instrument_spec(symbol)` — a
  typed, Rust-authored vetted lookup (NOT Aura.toml; the later Aura.toml schema
  can subsume it). Seeded GER40/FRA40 = 1.0 (index points), EURUSD/GBPUSD/USDCAD
  = 0.0001 (5-dp FX majors); None for an un-specced symbol.
- aura-cli: `sample_harness` and `sim_optimal_manifest` gain a `pip_size`
  parameter; `run_sample_real` looks the pip up by symbol BEFORE any data access
  and refuses (exit 2) an un-specced instrument rather than guessing — honest by
  construction. The looked-up pip reaches both the broker divisor and the
  manifest broker label (`format!`). Every synthetic caller passes the unchanged
  0.0001, now named `SYNTHETIC_PIP_SIZE`. SimBroker (aura-std) is untouched.

Scope: narrowed to the CLI real path — the actual bug. The runnable GER40
examples already bake the correct 1.0 and are NOT buggy; centralizing them
through the lookup is deferred to #98.

Decisions (user-directed, recorded on #22): metadata channel = typed
InstrumentSpec at the source edge; un-specced real symbol refuses; seed =
GER40/FRA40 + FX majors; example refactor deferred. The spec went through the
grounding-check gate; the auto-sign panel surfaced the refusal-behaviour and
scope as genuine design decisions, escalated and resolved by the user.

Tests: instrument_spec unit; manifest pip rendering (1.0 -> "1", 0.0001
unchanged); non-gated CLI refusal (exit 2, no stdout leak, vetted symbol clears
the lookup); gated GER40 binary-boundary honesty (pip_size=1 in the emitted
manifest, deterministic). The pre-existing run_sample_real determinism test was
retargeted AAPL.US -> GER40 (AAPL.US is un-specced and would now refuse at the
lookup); the AAPL.US bounded-window streaming property still lives in
aura-ingest/tests/streaming_seam.rs (literal source, no spec lookup).

Verified: cargo build --workspace, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, and
cargo test --workspace all green; the gated GER40 path ran with local data.

Brummel 86746e3d5d refactor(aura-core): Scalar as a native tagged enum, disjoint from Cell; typed RunManifest.params
Scalar was `struct { kind: ScalarKind, cell: Cell }` — "a Cell wearing a kind hat." The recorded reason for that shape was migration ease, which is not a design rationale (CLAUDE.md: rationale != effort), so the struct had no substantive defense. Redefine it as the native tagged union it conceptually is:

    enum Scalar { I64(i64), F64(f64), Bool(bool), Timestamp(Timestamp) }

This is substantively better on four axes: kind/bits skew becomes unrepresentable (illegal states gone); accessors panic loudly on the wrong variant instead of a release-mode silent bit reinterpret; PartialEq derives the documented IEEE-754 / cross-kind value semantics (the hand-roll, needed only because the struct inherited Cell's bitwise compare, is gone); and serde is a plain derive emitting the externally-tagged wire form ({"I64":10}/{"F64":2.5}) — the private ScalarRepr shadow enum that motivated this was never needed. It is also C7-honest: erased-on-the-hot-path (Cell) and self-describing-at-the-edge (Scalar) are two disjoint types bridged by explicit conversion.

The whole public API is preserved (Scalar's fields were private), so call sites do not churn: the enum change is contained to scalar.rs, where cell() now encodes and from_cell() decodes per kind. Cell and ScalarKind are untouched.

With Scalar serializable, lift RunManifest.params from Vec<(String, f64)> to Vec<(String, Scalar)>: the param's kind (an i64 length vs an f64 scale) now survives into the C18 record (runs.jsonl) and the CLI JSON instead of collapsing to f64. scalar_as_param_f64 is deleted; sim_optimal_manifest passes typed params through. This is a deliberate wire-shape change — params now render as tagged scalars; the JSON-asserting tests are updated to the new shape on purpose.

Hand-authored manifest params across the CLI's single-run/mc/macd sites use honest kinds (lengths -> i64, scales -> f64) so they match the sweep path (which already derives correct kinds via zip_params); their in-binary JSON assertions are re-tagged accordingly.

Walk-forward fork resolves with no code change: WindowRun.chosen_params stays Vec<Scalar> (the serializable record carrier), reduced to f64 only at the param_stability statistic boundary (scalar_as_f64 retained). Glossary 'cell' entry updated to describe Scalar as the disjoint tagged union, not 'a cell plus its kind tag'.

Gates: build --all-targets, test --workspace (incl. new scalar_serde_round_trips), clippy -D warnings, doc --no-deps — all clean.

Brummel bcd1072ca8 feat(aura-cli): aura mc + family-aware runs + window_of migration (0045 iter 2)
Iteration 2 of spec 0045 — the CLI surface for orchestration families.

window_of migration: every manifest-window scan (run_sample, sweep_family,
walkforward_family, sweep_over, run_oos, run_macd) now reads the window from
Source::bounds() via window_of(&sources) instead of prices.first()/.last().
Behaviour-preserving (the walk-forward roller boundaries are bar-aligned, so
the producer-supplied window equals the old first/last) — pinned by the
unchanged run_sample (1,7) and walk-forward determinism tests.

aura mc: new built-in Monte-Carlo family on the CLI (monte_carlo over a
built-in seed set + the sample harness re-seeded per draw), persisted via
append_family and rendered as one member line per seed (carrying the
family_id) plus an mc_aggregate line. McAggregate is not Serialize, so the
aggregate line is built from its three MetricStats blocks.

family-aware runs: aura sweep / walkforward / mc now persist to the family
store via append_family with an optional --name (per-kind default), printing
the assigned family_id per member. aura runs families lists family headers
(id, kind, member count); aura runs family <id> [rank <metric>] lists/ranks
one family's members as a unit. An unknown family id is an empty family
(exit 0); an unknown metric is a usage error (exit 2).

Two pre-existing cli_run.rs E2E tests were adapted to the new family
contract (a required consequence of sweep/walkforward switching from the
flat store to the family store — a plan gap caught at implement time): the
sweep-output test now asserts the family-wrapper, and the runs list/rank
flow became the family list / per-family-rank flow (which also exercises the
per-name counter sweep-0/sweep-1 end-to-end). A new E2E test drives aura mc
through the binary.

Known cosmetic detail: the family-wrapped sweep/mc/walkforward stdout nests
the report via serde_json::json! (to_value -> alphabetical keys, leading
"broker"), while runs family / runs list print via RunReport::to_json()
(declaration order, leading "commit"). Both valid JSON; key order is not
load-bearing and the stored families.jsonl uses to_string (declaration
order), so the round-trip is unaffected.

Verification: cargo test --workspace green; cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -D warnings clean.
