 - Do not copy exact branch or HEAD from this note. Run `git status --short --branch` and `git log --oneline -5`.
 - Canonical anatomy now lives in `notes/epiphany-anatomy.md`. Embodied sub-agents are Self, Face, Imagination, Eyes, Proprioception, Hands, and Soul. Body, Mind, Continuity, and Substrate Gate are substrate/state/protocol surfaces, not sub-agent identities. State is split by layer: `work_organ` for resident Epiphany sub-agents, `persona` for portable public/person-shaped state shared by Epiphany Face, VoidBot repo Faces, and Ghostlight characters, and heartbeat/swarm state for scheduling and coordination physiology. Persona state now carries provenance, required public presentation, `date-time` timestamps, typed `candidateActions`, strict anchored thoughts with non-authoritative extensions, custom enum companion labels, and typed affect records for bonds/status reads/doctrine stances.
 - The repo now has a one-command local operator path: `.\tools\epiphany_local_run.ps1`. Default mode is `smoke`; it builds the retained Codex app-server compatibility edge, builds native Epiphany operator binaries, runs the coordinator smoke, and writes launcher artifacts under `.epiphany-run/` plus coordinator artifacts under `.epiphany-dogfood/`. `-Mode status` is now Epiphany-native: it builds only Epiphany operator binaries, reads `state/thread-state.msgpack` when present, derives status through `epiphany-core`, and does not start or require `codex-app-server`. Use `-Mode plan` or `-Mode run -MaxSteps 4` for the raw bridge-equipped coordinator entrypoints; use `-Mode mvp -FaceInput "<operator request>" -MaxSteps 4` for the local product cycle that projects Face's character turn, writes a Face/Aquarium bubble, bootstraps a minimal local checkpoint for fresh threads, runs the coordinator with auto-tools, then runs heartbeat sleep/dream maintenance. Live plan/run/mvp modes use the workspace `state/runtime-spine.msgpack`, because CodexThread launch writes worker requests there; the run bundle remains artifact evidence, not runtime lifecycle authority. Add `-ThreadId <id>` and `-Workspace <path>` to inspect or continue an existing thread. `status`, `plan`, and `smoke` do not spend model calls; `run` and `mvp` build and use `epiphany-openai-runtime`. Coordinator workers now launch detached and are polled through runtime-spine instead of blocking the coordinator. MVP runs are non-ephemeral by default so `-ThreadId <id>` can resume and poll later. `-MaxRuntimeSeconds <n>` is passed into worker runtime; timeout writes a failed worker receipt and exits. Failed modeling now blocks downstream verification until the failed result is reviewed.
-- Current Mom-ready status: the normal MVP pass reaches Face -> coordinator -> detached runtime -> heartbeat sleep, and modeling workers now complete through the ChatGPT subscription transport. The first failure was a stack of violated observability/runtime invariants: worker prompts prepended the whole shared persistent-memory rite, Responses frame liveness was invisible until completion, and the runtime tried to persist hundreds of text deltas before completing the worker job. Role/reorient workers now get a compact Epiphany worker boundary instead of full persistent memory; runtime-spine records sampled raw Responses frame kinds with small previews; contiguous reasoning/text deltas compact before durable storage; and live proofs completed `2fe38dcd-d99e-4c73-9a58-afcc81f851c7`, `241e3851-e3ea-4877-a63b-0d2bbd96a7e2`, and `85149a26-6975-403f-ac93-092b717c5825` instead of timing out. The second failure was stale lifecycle authority: completed runtime jobs remained as unresolved `runtime_links`, replacement launches treated historical active links as current, and one bad validation path opened an orphan job before rejecting the state patch. Latest-link-wins is now the runtime-link invariant, terminal links project completed jobs, stale active history cannot veto replacement, launch validation happens before opening runtime jobs, and completed-but-unreviewable modeling findings stop for review instead of relaunching the same lane. The Eyes/source-gather fork is now landed: Research is a fixed Eyes lane with launch/result/accept/status/coordinator/protocol support, and `regather-needed` modeling findings route to `LaunchResearch` instead of relaunching blind Proprioception. Research statePatch admission is Eyes-shaped only: observations, evidence, scratch, and optional investigationCheckpoint; no graph, planning, objective, or checkpoint authority. Mind admission now leaves typed runtime-spine proof: role/reorient acceptance persists `epiphany.mind.gateway_review` before state admission and `epiphany.mind.state_commit_receipt` after admission with the resulting durable revision. Launch contracts now split the broad receipt catalogue from effect-specific proof profiles for state admission, evidence promotion, repo action, verification, and continuity recovery, so gates do not accidentally demand the whole organ catalogue for every finding. Acceptance evaluates claimed effects against the launch-carried profiles and rereads persisted receipts from runtime-spine. Research evidence promotion now enforces Substrate Gate read/snapshot grant, Eyes evidence packet, and Mind review before state admission. The next concrete rebuild layer is Soul verdict proof for Verification.

 - Local operator runs now write typed CultMesh intent/receipt documents to `.epiphany-run/cultmesh/operator-runs.ccmp` through `epiphany-operator-run`. The wrapper writes intent before acting and a completion receipt after success; this is the local consent/trace rail, not a hidden scheduler queue.
 - Status-mode local runs now also write a native CultMesh operator snapshot to `.epiphany-run/cultmesh/operator-snapshots.ccmp` through `epiphany-operator-snapshot`. That snapshot distills the operator-safe MVP status artifact into typed fields such as thread id, state status, coordinator action, CRRC action, reorient action, available actions, and artifact refs; it does not preserve the raw JSON status blob as internal state.
 - `epiphany-mvp-status --source native` is the current provider-neutral status boundary. It projects scene, pressure, jobs, roles, planning, reorient, CRRC, coordinator status, and runtime-linked worker lifecycle from native core surfaces. It reads runtime-spine job/result receipts for linked jobs so failed workers show as failed in role results, jobs, roles, and coordinator source signals, while successful semantic findings still require typed role/reorient worker result documents. Keep future pluggable model-provider work behind launch/result/runtime documents; do not let provider choice leak into status, prompt authority, scheduler policy, or durable `EpiphanyThreadState`.

   - Eyes' evidence contract surface is named beside Substrate Gate and Mind: `epiphany-core::eyes_gateway` defines evidence requests, evidence reviews, source lookup receipts, evidence packets, and evidence refusal receipts; runtime-spine advertises those contracts; CultMesh persists matching `EpiphanyCultMeshEyesContractEntry` policy documents so retrieved snippets and source reads are not confused with inspected evidence.
   - Hands, Soul, and Continuity now have first-class contract catalogs beside Mind/Substrate Gate/Eyes. `epiphany-core::hands_gateway` defines action intents, reviews, command/patch/commit/PR/rollback/refusal receipts; `epiphany-core::soul_gateway` defines verification requests, invariant checks, verdict/regression/review/refusal receipts; `epiphany-core::continuity_gateway` defines continuity packets, compaction checkpoints, sleep distillation, recovery, stale-turn repair, and continuity refusal receipts. Runtime-spine advertises them and CultMesh persists matching Verse-scoped contract policy documents.
-  - Worker launch packets now carry `EpiphanyLaunchOrganContract` beside the typed launch document. The contract derives from authority scope, document kind, and output contract id; carries the full standing sub-agent dependency matrix, a receipt document catalogue, and effect-specific receipt proof profiles for state admission, evidence promotion, repo action, verification, and continuity recovery. Runtime-spine validates and persists this contract on `EpiphanyRuntimeWorkerLaunchRequest`; bridge role/reorient/generic launch builders populate it. Role/reorient acceptance now refuses completed runtime-spine findings if their original worker launch request is missing, mismatched by document kind, or lacks a state-admission proof profile requiring Mind review. Acceptance computes claimed effects from the role/reorient state change, rereads the persisted Mind gateway review from runtime-spine, enforces that currently available Mind proof, and defers non-Mind profile gaps until their producers exist. The first executable Mind proof is landed: acceptance persists `epiphany.mind.gateway_review` before state admission and `epiphany.mind.state_commit_receipt` after admission with the resulting revision. The Research evidence-promotion proof chain is now executable: Research launches persist typed Substrate Gate read/snapshot access grants, accepted Research findings emit typed Eyes evidence packets from their Eyes-shaped statePatch, runtime-spine persists/verifies both, and Research acceptance enforces Substrate Gate grant + Eyes packet + Mind review before evidence-shaped state admission.

   - `notes/perfect-machine-audit-roadmap.md` is the current architectural audit. The main finding is that organ contracts are now named, launch-carried, and minimally acceptance-gated against naked runtime jobs, while Mind admission has the first persisted review/commit receipt chain. The old all-receipts list is now only a catalogue; proof profiles say which receipts are required for each effect type. Substrate Gate, Eyes, Hands, Soul, and Continuity receipts are still expectations rather than mandatory receipt chains. The current Mind receipt write is not transactional across state mutation and receipt persistence; future state admission should collapse mutation plus post-commit receipt into one owner when the storage layer supports it. The Rust dependency body repair is landed: the missing `E:\Projects\CultLib\crates\*` paths were replaced with repo-contained vendored CultCache/CultNet/CultMesh crates, and `cargo test --manifest-path .\epiphany-core\Cargo.toml --lib` passes.
   - `notes/codex-starvation-and-cultnet-liberation-plan.md` is the active foundation directive. It supersedes outward product/bridge/dogfood work and supersedes the weaker goal of merely making Codex app-server a cleaner adapter. Epiphany must become a native CultCache/CultNet runtime; Codex remains only as an OpenAI subscription auth/model-transport reliquary until that too can be replaced or minimized.
   - `notes/codex-auth-spine-inventory.md` is the current source-grounded inventory of the Codex organ that may survive. Corrected compliance invariant: Codex-compatible auth identity should remain anchored in retained vendored Codex-derived auth machinery, while Epiphany owns typed request/status/event/runtime surfaces around it. Codex app-server, apps, skills, marketplace, plugin UX, MCP OAuth handlers, and collaboration-mode surfaces are not part of the keeper spine.
