Rust consumers pin a CultLib revision through cargo git dependencies, which is
how Ghostlight, Epiphany, CodexConnector and Odin already consume the core
stack. npm and pip cannot take a package from a subdirectory of a git repo at
all, which is why the TypeScript and Python consumers vendored forks instead:
there was nothing else to depend on. This gives them a versioned artifact.
Tagging cultcache-ts-v* or cultcache-py-v* builds, tests and publishes. The tag
version must match the manifest version or the workflow refuses rather than
shipping a mislabelled artifact. PyPI uses trusted publishing, so no long-lived
token is stored; npm needs an NPM_TOKEN secret.
cultcache-ts is now @gamecult/cultcache-ts. The scope is not cosmetic: it makes
the package unambiguously org-owned on a public registry, and it is what lets
CultLib hold the name rather than racing for an unscoped one. CultLib's own
cultmesh-ts and cultnet-ts and their imports move with it; all three packages
typecheck and cultcache-ts passes 12 of 13 tests, the exception being the
cross-runtime store test that shells out to Python, which cannot run on this
machine because its Python has no msgpack.
Licensing was inconsistent with the repo. cultcache-py declared itself "Private
GameCult infrastructure" and cultcache-rs and cultmesh-rs declared nothing,
inside a repo whose LICENSE is MIT and whose every other package says MIT. All
three now say MIT. That was load-bearing here: a package that calls itself
private is not one to push to a public registry.

The only Rust CultMesh implementation in existence was 1,363 lines inside
Ghostlight's vendor directory. It was in no library repo and no standalone
repo, so it had never been checked against the browser, Kotlin, and
TypeScript CultMesh bodies it must interoperate with.
It is not a duplicate of the facade in cultnet-rs. That one is the small
surface the parity table claims for Rust: peer cards, authority leases,
endpoint parsing. This is the stream and session layer -- node, document
sets, RUDP document publication, stream descriptors, negotiation, stream
catalog, and shared-memory frame rings -- which the same table lists under
Rust's "Not claimed". A consumer grew the unclaimed surface because there was
nowhere else to put it.
Its path dependencies already matched this layout and it builds against
CultLib's cultnet-rs unchanged, so it does not depend on the forked RUDP
extras. Seven runtime-local tests pass, and CI now runs them.
The parity table gains no claim from this. The Rust row says plainly that no
interop lane exercises the stream surface, and expansion work records that
runtime-local tests are not a parity claim. Landing code is not evidence.
packages/cultmesh-rs needed an explicit .gitignore re-include; the NuGet
packages rule hides every language package until one is added by name.
