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

New shape, per the ailang precedent:

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  preserve every superseded block verbatim, stamps and issue refs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 Nothing was deleted: superseded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  place at cycle close, superseded text moves verbatim to the sidecar,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

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

# C15 — Resampling-as-node; sessions/calendars
**Guarantee.** A resampler is a node (finer stream → coarser bar stream),
clock-sensitive, emitting a completed bar only at the boundary (C2). Calendars
and instrument specs are **metadata** — non-scalar reference data held beside
the hot path, never streamed. Session *context* is exposed as scalar streams
via a `SessionNode`, so "the 3rd 15m candle after session open" is a plain node
checking `bars_since_open == 3`, not special-cased session logic.
**Forbids.** Streaming the calendar; special-casing session logic outside the
stream model.
**Why.** Keeps the line consistent — everything a signal needs arrives as a
stream; reference data feeds source/session nodes from beside the hot path.
## Current state
**Session context — `bars_since_open` is the shipped contract (#154).** The
session-context node `Session` (`crates/aura-market/src/session.rs`) emits
**one** scalar stream, `bars_since_open: i64` (tz-aware, DST-correct, over a
baked Frankfurt open), and takes no scalar params; the zero-arg
`SessionFrankfurt` roster preset (#261) exposes it with a single
`period_minutes` knob. This is a deliberate narrowing pinned in the node's own
contract: `bars_since_open` alone is the gate — a downstream `EqConst(== N)`
subsumes an `in_session: bool` stream (pre-open instants read `<= 0`, which
never match), and nothing consumes a `session_open_ts: timestamp`. The two
further session-context streams the design intent names — `in_session: bool`
and `session_open_ts: timestamp` — remain **deferred** until a consumer needs
them (#154); the stream model is untouched, session context is still exposed as
scalar streams fed from beside the hot path.
**Instrument geometry — recorded sidecar, refuse-don't-guess.** The "instrument
specs are metadata" half is realized by the **recorded geometry sidecar**:
`aura_ingest::instrument_geometry(server, symbol)` returns the neutral,
broker-agnostic `InstrumentGeometry` (re-exported from `data_server::meta`; the
raw provider JSON never enters this repo) — non-scalar reference data keyed by
symbol, held beside the hot path. It feeds the sim-optimal broker's pip divisor
(C10; consumed in `aura-runner`): the real-path pip is sourced from
`InstrumentGeometry.pip_size`, and geometry that is absent is **refused, not
guessed**. There is no Rust-authored instrument floor — `InstrumentSpec` /
`instrument_spec` and the vetted table were removed once the sidecar supplied
the real-path pip. The speculative deploy-grade fields and the authored
override/floor tiers of the #124 hierarchy (tier 1 override, tier 3 floor),
together with the `quote_currency` runtime-type transition, are **deferred**
until a consumer — the cost model's currency→R normalization (C10) or the live
deploy edge (real broker) — needs them, read from the sidecar geometry then;
#124 collapses to *recorded sidecar geometry → refuse* in the meantime.
