claude a32dc38d18 feat(std): meaning lines for all 27 shipped node schemas
C29 compile/unit seam, task 3 of the self-description plan: every
aura-std NodeSchema literal threads its one-line doc. Four texts were
corrected against the actual eval/finalize semantics rather than taken
from the plan table verbatim: Delay is a lag-N register (not one-step),
GatedRecorder flushes an ungated final row at finalize, Latch is a
level-sensitive set/reset register (captures no input), SeriesReducer
emits its single summary row at finalize (not per cycle).

Gate: cargo build -p aura-std --lib clean; full std test run follows at
the all-crates gate once strategy/backtest/engine thread their sites
(the earlier per-crate test gate was unsatisfiable in isolation --
std's dev-deps pull crates whose sites belong to later tasks).

Brummel 35c5adc6f3 refactor(aura-ingest): fuse drain_trace taps via join_on_ts; doc the cadence rule
drain_trace now joins its four recording-sink taps through aura-engine's
join_on_ts instead of a hand-rolled per-tap HashMap, resolving the #93
zip-by-index panic at its source: the four taps fire at different
cardinalities (breakout one bar short via cold Delay(1); bars_since_open
filtered by Session), so a positional zip misaligns or panics. The BarTrace
mapping stays a thin layer with its caller-side defaults unchanged
(held->0.0, bars_since_open->-1, breakout->false) — the engine reports
presence, the consumer interprets absence. Behaviour is byte-preserved: the
gated GER40 tests (ger40_breakout_real, ger40_breakout_blueprint,
open_ohlc_seam) stay green against the real archive.

The Recorder doc gains a prose note on the multi-tap cadence rule (join on
ts, never by index), pointing at join_on_ts by name rather than rustdoc link
since aura-std does not depend on aura-engine.

Verified: cargo build/test/clippy --workspace --all-targets clean; the
_by_ts hand-rolled join is gone (acceptance grep empty).

Brummel 82635fa259 refactor: Cell becomes the hot-path value carrier (C7/C8 realization)
Motivation
----------
The C7 realization note (cd3d1ca / 049f22a) deferred this step: with
Scalar split into { kind, cell }, the tag-free Cell could become the
hot-path carrier, but eval and the edges still flowed the fatter
self-describing Scalar. This lands the swap.

Change
------
- Node::eval now returns Option<&[Cell]>; every node out-buffer is
  [Cell; N]. The inter-node forward copies the row into a Vec<Cell> and
  pushes each field via a new branch-free, infallible AnyColumn::push_cell
  — the edge from_field->slot kind match is verified once at bootstrap
  (C7), so the runtime push needs no per-value kind check. It only removes
  a Result the forward path already .expect()ed.
- Scalar stays on the self-describing dynamic boundaries: the param plane
  (build / bind / compile_with_params / sweep points / RunManifest),
  AnyColumn::get (the type-erased read for sinks / serde), and source
  ingestion (Source::next, the heterogeneous C3 merge). The fallible
  AnyColumn::push is retained for ingestion + the kind-guard tests.

Trade
-----
The per-value runtime kind check on node OUTPUT is removed: a node that
builds a wrong-kind cell pushes raw bits with no panic. This is the same
authoring-bug class C8 already leaves to a debug_assert (output width);
node-output-kind correctness is the node's declared FieldSpec contract,
caught by each node's own eval test. Cross-node kind agreement still rests
on the bootstrap kind-check (bootstrap_rejects_*_kind_mismatch, green).

Tests
-----
Behaviour-preserving (C1): 285 green, 0 red. The only test-expectation
edits are carrier re-spellings (Scalar::f64(x) -> Cell::from_f64(x)) of
identical values; test column writes and out-of-graph channel rows stay
Scalar (the spec's three-role rule). Adds an AnyColumn::push_cell
round-trip test plus a cross-kind end-to-end forward test (a mixed
f64/i64 record whose bit patterns diverge across kinds — pins the i64
forward path the f64-only tests cannot catch). Ledger C7/C8 notes updated.

Gates: cargo build / test / clippy --all-targets -D warnings / doc
--workspace all clean.

Brummel cd3d1ca9ed refactor(aura-core): split Scalar into a tag-free Cell + ScalarKind
Motivation
----------
`Scalar` was a tagged enum (I64/F64/Bool/Ts), so every scalar value
physically carried its own kind tag. But the kind is already known from
the schema/port/column the value flows through (C7: the type is a
property of the column, not of the value — the hot path is already
columnar `Column<T>`, and `AnyColumn::get` *reconstructs* the tag from
the column on the way out). The per-value tag was therefore redundant
with the kind the surrounding context already holds.

That redundancy had three costs:

  * It baked an implicit `match` (a branch) into every function that read
    a Scalar payload — even where the caller statically knew the type.
    The tag could never be exploited away.
  * Size: a tagged enum is tag + payload = 16 bytes (f64/i64 alignment),
    twice the 8 bytes the value needs. A `Column<Scalar>` would be double
    the memory and half the cache utilisation.
  * It is the shared root of several downstream papercuts we keep hitting
    — the lossy f64 manifest field, the `unreachable!` panic on a
    non-numeric param, the serde-tag question — all symptoms of "the type
    is baked into the value".

Change
------
Introduce `Cell`: a type-erased 64-bit word (`struct Cell(u64)`) that is
not readable without external type context. It is constructed per base
type (`from_i64/from_f64/from_bool/from_ts`) and read only by naming the
type at the call site (`i64()/f64()/bool()/ts()`) — each a branch-free
bit-cast. The hot path resolves the kind once at the boundary (from the
schema) and then reads natively, with no per-value branch. `Cell` knows
nothing of `Scalar` or `ScalarKind`; the dependency is strictly one-way,
and it lives in its own `cell.rs` (more is planned on top of it).

`Scalar` becomes `struct { kind: ScalarKind, cell: Cell }` — the
self-describing form for the dynamic boundaries (builder binding,
serialization, rendering), built on top of `Cell`. Its `as_*` accessors
now `debug_assert` the kind and return the native value (free in
release); calling the wrong accessor is a caller bug, not a checked
`Option`. The variant constructors `Scalar::I64(..)` become associated
fns `Scalar::i64(..)`.

`PartialEq` is hand-written (not derived) to preserve the former enum's
value semantics: kinds must match, then native payloads compare, so f64
keeps IEEE-754 behaviour (`NaN != NaN`, `+0.0 == -0.0`) and a kind
mismatch is never equal even when the raw words coincide. A fixture
(`scalar_eq_is_value_not_bitwise`) pins exactly the cases where bit- and
value-equality diverge, so it can't silently regress. `Cell`'s own
`Eq`/`Hash` stay bitwise — correct for a raw word.

The change is behaviour-preserving: Scalar's observable behaviour is
identical to the pre-Cell enum (the value-equality fixture proves it);
only the internal representation changed. The ~440 call sites across the
workspace are a mechanical constructor rename plus ~12 destructuring
sites (match-arms / `let`-patterns) rewritten to `kind()` + `as_*`.

Verified: cargo build --workspace --all-targets, cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace — all green.

Brummel e304dbaae1 feat(aura-core): name input ports
PortSpec gains a non-load-bearing `name: String`, so an input port is named just
as FieldSpec.name (output) and ParamSpec.name (param) already are — input ports
were the lone unnamed member of the node signature. Identity stays positional by
slot (C23); the name is render/debug only, never read by bootstrap or the run
loop. PortSpec drops Copy (String is not Copy), exactly as ParamSpec already does.

- Every aura-std node names its input slots: SMA/EMA "series", Sub/Add "lhs"/"rhs",
  Exposure "signal", SimBroker "exposure"/"price" (the slots become
  self-documenting), LinComb "term[i]" and Recorder "col[i]" generated in their
  build loops (mirroring LinComb's existing weights[i] param loop).
- derive_signature carries a composite's Role.name into the derived input port
  (it was dropped before — the output side already carried FieldSpec.name), so the
  graph model is homogeneously named at both levels.
- model_to_json (port_json + the composite-header inputs in scope_json) emits the
  name as a third tuple element: ["f64","any","exposure"]. The byte golden was
  re-captured (machine bytes) and its substring twins updated; the model is now
  fully named across inputs/outputs/params.
- All 16 PortSpec construction sites threaded in one compile-gate change; test
  fixtures carry fixture names. C8 realization note added to the design ledger.

Why name-only, no validation: the name is a pure debug symbol. Wire-by-name was
rejected (it would be a C23 contract change). Bootstrap slot-wiring validation
(which would close #21's same-kind swap footgun) is deferred to its own cycle —
a name alone does not catch the swap; it makes the slots self-documenting and
gives a future validation something to check against.

Verified: cargo test --workspace 168 green; clippy --all-targets -D warnings
clean; cargo build --workspace clean. Read-only render path (C9), no serde (C14),
scalar kinds unchanged (C4).

Brummel 1b3909316e feat(aura): node signature lives in the blueprint; collapse Blueprint into Composite
Consolidate the node data structure so every node's signature (NodeSchema:
inputs/output/params) is declared once and exists in the blueprint pre-build,
and dissolve the special "root graph" type. Behaviour-preserving (C1).

Signature vs sizing
- NodeSchema is now the static signature only: InputSpec -> PortSpec{kind,firing},
  with lookback removed. The signature is fully static per blueprint (input
  kinds/firing, output fields, params); LinComb's variable arity is a builder arg,
  not an injected param.
- The one param-dependent quantity, an input's buffer lookback (e.g. Sma's window =
  its injected length), moves out of the signature to Node::lookbacks() -> Vec<usize>,
  read only by bootstrap for sizing. Node::schema() is removed.
- LeafFactory -> PrimitiveBuilder, which carries the full NodeSchema. The built node
  no longer re-declares it: closes the params-declared-twice drift (#36, the 8
  per-node factory_params_match_built_node_schema lockstep tests are deleted — their
  subject is now structurally impossible) and a value-empty recipe exposes its full
  I/O interface pre-build (#43).

Root is just a bound composite
- struct Blueprint is deleted; its compile/bootstrap/param_space methods move onto
  Composite. Role gains source: Option<ScalarKind> (None = open interior port,
  Some = bound ingestion feed). A composite is runnable iff every root role is bound;
  the "main graph" is no longer a category, only the fully-source-bound composite.
  New error CompileError::UnboundRootRole for an open root role.
- BlueprintNode::signature() answers uniformly for both arms: Primitive returns the
  builder's declared schema, Composite derives it from the interior (role kinds in,
  OutField kinds out, aggregated params), pre-build, no build.

compile -> FlatGraph -> bootstrap
- compile validates structure pre-build via signature() (validate_wiring: range +
  kind, returning the same variants as before, so an edge kind fault is now caught
  before any build closure fires) and emits FlatGraph{nodes,signatures,sources,edges}.
- bootstrap consumes the FlatGraph: kinds/firing/output from the carried signatures,
  buffer depth from node.lookbacks(). SourceSpec survives as the flat descriptor.

Renames: BlueprintNode::Leaf -> Primitive, LeafFactory -> PrimitiveBuilder.

Render (aura-cli/src/graph.rs) is migrated compile-only: it takes &Composite, maps
bound roles to the same source-entry shape, so both render goldens reproduce
byte-identical output (no re-capture needed). Render-fidelity tuning is the next cycle.

Verification (orchestrator-run, not agent-reported): cargo build --workspace green;
cargo test --workspace 150 passed / 0 failed; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean. All pinned determinism/run-output tests pass with values unchanged;
no behavioural assertion was altered to go green. 5 new tests assert the signature is
pre-build and uniform, that compile rejects a kind mismatch without building (via a
panicking builder), UnboundRootRole, and lookbacks()/signature arity agreement.

Deferred to cycle-close audit (per plan): docs/design/INDEX.md and some aura-std
module docs still name the old Node::schema()/LeafFactory/BlueprintNode::Leaf/
Blueprint::param_space contracts; prose reconciliation is the architect's at audit.

Brummel 4b64409036 feat(aura-core,aura-std,aura-engine,aura-cli): inject a param-set vector at bootstrap (#31)
Cycle B of milestone "The World — parameter-space & sweep". A blueprint is now
value-empty: a leaf holds a param-generic recipe, not a built node, and a positional
Scalar vector is bound slot-by-slot at bootstrap — so one blueprint bootstraps into
many distinct instances under different vectors, with no cdylib rebuild (C12/C19).
This is the binding primitive a sweep (#32) drives.

Ratified design (brainstorm): value-empty reconstruct-through-new() over
mutate-in-place and over a default-bearing variant. The value lives only in the
injected vector (no baked default), keeping the blueprint a pure param-generic
recipe (C19); every injected value flows through the node's own constructor (the
single sizing/validation gate).

- aura-core: LeafFactory { name, params, build } — the recipe (params -> sized node
  through `new`); Scalar::as_i64/as_f64 value accessors. Node trait unchanged.
- aura-std: each of the 7 nodes exposes factory() (SMA length:I64, Exposure
  scale:F64, LinComb arity x weights[i]:F64; Sub/Add/SimBroker/Recorder paramless,
  capturing their non-param construction args — pip_size, the Recorder channel).
- aura-engine: BlueprintNode::Leaf(LeafFactory), From<LeafFactory>; param_space()
  reads factory.params() pre-build; compile_with_params/bootstrap_with_params build
  each leaf from its kind-checked slice while lowering (build-then-wire), arity
  checked up front via param_space().len(); CompileError::{ParamKindMismatch,
  ParamArity}. compile/inline/edge-rewrite are structurally unchanged, so the
  compilat stays bit-identical for a given point (the bit-identity and both
  param_space mirror tests stay green). The vestigial pre-build Composite::schema /
  BlueprintNode::schema (no live caller — interface resolution is structural on the
  built flat nodes) are removed.
- aura-cli: the blueprint view labels leaves by bare type via LeafFactory::label()
  (`[SMA]`) — the ascii-dag renderer cannot render wide cluster-sibling labels (see
  spec); the compiled view still labels valued (`SMA(2)`). The sample supplies its
  point as a vector; the mis-wiring swap moved to the compiled view.

The #34 dual-traversal drift hazard is subsumed: compile_with_params consumes the
vector in the same recipe walk param_space() reports, so the two share one
traversal.

Verified: cargo build/test --workspace green (127 tests, incl. bit-identity, both
mirror tests, and 4 new injection tests — different-vector-different-run, kind
mismatch, arity, determinism); clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean;
`aura graph` blueprint view renders cleanly.

Scope: one vector -> one instance. Deferred: sweep enumeration (#32), domain
validation (#32/C20), single-run authoring convenience (#35).

Brummel 931109df58 feat(aura-core,aura-std,aura-engine): declare node tunable params (#30)
Cycle A of milestone 'The World — parameter-space & sweep'. A node now declares
its tunable parameters in its C8 schema, and a blueprint aggregates them into one
flat, inspectable param-space — the root that unlocks the C12 orchestration axes
(#31 bind, #32 sweep), filling the gap C8/C23 name 'deliberately not in the schema
yet'.

- aura-core: ParamSpec { name: String, kind: ScalarKind } as a third schema-
  declaration type; NodeSchema gains a third field 'params'. name is String (not
  &'static like FieldSpec) because a vector knob carries a runtime index and
  aggregation prefixes the composite path.
- aura-std: Sma declares [length:I64], Exposure [scale:F64], LinComb expands to N
  flat [weights[i]:F64] (N = its input arity, topology-fixed per C19); Sub/Add/
  SimBroker/Recorder declare none (pip_size is metadata, C10/C15; Recorder is
  wiring).
- aura-engine: Blueprint::param_space() walks the graph-as-data depth-first in
  lower_items order, path-qualifying via the already-public Composite::name() — a
  read-only projection (C9). compile/inline_composite/lower_items are untouched, so
  the compilat stays bit-identical (composite_sma_cross_runs_bit_identical_to_hand_wired
  and the golden render tests stay green).

Design: param identity is positional (slot after the deterministic inline order,
C23 'by index not name'); the path-qualified name is a non-load-bearing debug
symbol — same-type siblings in one composite share a name, uniqueness is at the
slot. Flat over a structured arity-bearing ParamSpec because flattening is
unavoidable (a sweep enumerates a flat point-space) and structure-in-the-runtime
is the nested-composite reading C23 rejects (see spec 0015 for the full rationale).

Scope is declaration + aggregation + inspection only; binding (#31), sweep
enumeration (#32), search-range, validity-constraint, and default-range/slider are
deferred. An E2E test pins the load-bearing C23/#31 invariant: param_space() slot
order mirrors compile()'s flat-node param order, kind-by-slot, on the SMA-cross
harness. fieldtests/ (excluded crates) left as frozen snapshots.

Verified: cargo build/test --workspace green (64 tests), clippy --all-targets -D
warnings clean; compile/inline diff empty.

Brummel 0a855c3943 feat(aura-cli): aura graph renders a wired graph as an ASCII DAG (#13)
Make a wired graph introspectable so a mis-wiring becomes visible. Two
selectable views, both authored from one built-in sample blueprint:

  aura graph             clustered blueprint view — composites drawn as named
                         ascii-dag cluster boxes (pre-inline, C9)
  aura graph --compiled  flat compilat view — composite boundaries dissolved
                         (C23); the graph the run loop actually runs

The payoff is intrinsic, param-carrying node labels: two SMAs read SMA(2) /
SMA(4), so a swapped fast/slow input reads back differently. This is realized
by a `label()` default method on the core Node trait — a non-load-bearing
render symbol the run loop never reads (wiring is by index), the symbol C23
already reserves citing #13. Recorded as a C8 refinement in the ledger.
Rejected the alternatives in brainstorm: a separate Describe trait (forces a
combined trait-object dance for a label the ledger calls non-load-bearing) and
extrinsic parallel labels (decoupled from the node, so an author can label the
slow SMA "fast" and mask the very bug the render exists to surface).

Mechanism:
- aura-core: Node::label() default method (additive, object-safe, single-line).
- aura-std: per-node overrides — SMA(n)/Exposure(s)/SimBroker(p) carry params;
  Sub/Add/LinComb/Recorder are bare (their identity is not a mis-wiring axis).
- aura-engine: Composite gains an authored `name` (cluster title; dissolves at
  inline) + read-only graph-as-data accessors on Blueprint/Composite. No
  external dependency — the engine stays dependency-pure (C16); ascii-dag lives
  only in aura-cli. The label-free index-wired compilat (C23) is unchanged.
- aura-cli: ascii-dag v0.9.1 + a graph.rs adapter (Vertical mode; labels
  materialized into an owned Vec<String> that outlives the borrow-based Graph).
  `aura run` is untouched (the sample duplication is dedup idea #14).

Tests: a concern-defining test (swapped sample renders != correct), structure
pins (cluster present in blueprint view, absent in compiled view), per-node
label disambiguation, and two frozen byte-goldens of the deterministic render.
The cycle-0012 bit-identical and run-sample non-regression tests stay green.

Verified by the orchestrator (not the agent report): cargo build --workspace
clean; cargo test --workspace all green; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-D warnings clean; both views run live and render as expected.

Brummel 559903a14e feat(aura-cli): aura run — end-to-end sample-harness CLI
The Walking-skeleton milestone's closing seam: a real `aura run` binary that
bootstraps a built-in sample harness, runs it deterministically, and prints the
cycle-0009 metrics+manifest report as canonical JSON to stdout — the headline
C14 "run a sim, emit structured metrics" move, end-to-end, from a binary for the
first time.

Two deliverables:

- aura-std::Recorder — a reusable recording sink node (the glossary *sink* role,
  C8/C22): a pure consumer (output: vec![]) over kinds.len() input columns,
  holding an mpsc::Sender<(Timestamp, Vec<Scalar>)> as its out-of-graph
  destination. mpsc keeps the engine's purity invariant (C7): no Rc/RefCell.
  Supports all four base scalar kinds; returns None until every column is warm.
  Promotes the shape the #[cfg(test)] fixtures already proved into a shipped,
  reusable block (the fixtures stay as historical snapshots; de-dup is a later
  tidy).

- aura-cli `run` subcommand — synthetic_prices / sample_harness / run_sample /
  main. The sample harness (synthetic source → SMA(2)/SMA(4) → Sub → Exposure →
  SimBroker → two Recorder sinks) is authored in plain Rust over the raw
  Harness::bootstrap(nodes, sources, edges) API (C17/C20) — the open
  experiment-builder DSL thread is deliberately not committed this cycle. main
  hand-parses one subcommand: `run` prints run_sample().to_json() (exit 0),
  anything else prints a one-line usage to stderr (exit 2). aura-cli gains
  aura-std + aura-core path deps; the workspace stays zero-(external-)dependency.

The built-in synthetic stream (7 ticks, rises then reverses) yields a non-trivial
demo trace: equity [0,0,0,0,-0.08,-0.17,-0.13] → total_pips -0.13, max_drawdown
0.17, exposure_sign_flips 1. The run_sample unit test pins the integer flip count
exactly and the two f64 metrics within 1e-9 (the real run's float dust is ~7e-15,
confirming the tolerance); determinism is pinned exactly (two runs → identical
JSON). tests/cli_run.rs drives the built binary for the observable exit/stdout
contract.

manifest.commit is filled from option_env!("AURA_COMMIT") (defaults to
"unknown"); real HEAD capture via build.rs is deferred. Non-goals untouched:
experiment-builder DSL, aura new, Aura.toml schema, the data-server source (#7).

One deviation from the plan's verbatim code: a scoped
#[allow(clippy::type_complexity)] on sample_harness (its (Harness, Receiver,
Receiver) return tuple trips the lint under -D warnings) — consistent with the
identical allow on the build_two_sink_harness fixture in aura-engine. Verified
myself: cargo test --workspace (61 green, 0 red), clippy --all-targets
-D warnings (clean), cargo doc -D warnings (clean), and both smoke runs.
