   summary: The keyed RepoModel hard cut, decision-context foundation, Model Atlas code slice, complete Body, Proposal, frontier-verdict Modeling, frontier Research, frontier Verification, frontier Planning/PlanMind, Reorientation, and Persona decision-context lifecycles are landed on codex/epiphany-shakedown-live. Keyed Mind plus exact runtime receipts own coordinator presence, work discovery, deterministic launch, job-bound continuation, review, typed failure, semantic admission, and retained decision reachability. Exact 07d891ba and ec1431ff delete the persisted/global thread aggregate and its generic coordinator/prompt/revision surfaces. Exact f7948795 deletes MindGatewayReview, MindStateCommitReceipt v0, the generic interpreter prompt, runtime registration/read APIs, false thought/state-effect/adoption CultNet mouths, and stale launch proof profiles. CultMesh now projects only reasoning basis, decision context, and exact Mind commit receipt, read-only. Exact 1c9aafd8 seals the terminal decision context before model-backed frontier-Planning failure and binds the typed failure plus generic job result to it. Exact e0e75a30 deletes the residual aggregate role patch/parser/policy surface, gives Research one closed typed decision, and deletes the unowned generic Imagination planning patch. Exact 12b1b285 makes runtime model/tool binding validation the shared owner for execution and decision sealing; hostile provider, receipt, and stored-binding substitutions refuse, while retained basis/context audit survives transcript-delta deletion. Exact 01602fd3 advances Mind/runtime to v2/v1 and refuses historical or split writable identity pairs before registered writers see them. Exact 26b6a5bf proves simultaneous disjoint Modeling writes, simultaneous Verification+Modeling admission, same-identity conflict, exact replay, and reopened graph assembly; raw mutation primitives are crate-private. Exact 7c2ebd81 moves Persona state-note admission from the legacy agent-memory aggregate into keyed Mind documents and proves a concrete Hands consequence can commit simultaneously. Exact 79c0e373 seals the assembled Persona input and observed source versions in Mind before inference. Exact d3300bba authenticates that input through its one exact Mind commit, refuses naked typed documents, re-enters without external observation or model inference, and proves current-work reconstruction is identical and read-only across Launch, Wait, completed, and post-Research boundaries. No compatibility reader, bootstrap aggregate, schema migrator, or dual reader survives. The source-level Decision-Auditable Concurrent Mind migration is accepted; the fresh exact-package capstone remains open. The machine remains a supervised engineering alpha; Model Atlas operational Gate 1 stays paused.
   public_positioning: docs/positioning.md is the current public claim owner. Epiphany is the organizational layer above frontier AI workers; global coherence collapse is the primary failure; prompts are bounded projections of governed organizational state; humans retain purpose, judgment, authority, disagreement, exceptions, and acceptance. GameCult is the forge and longitudinal evidence program for a target federation of one locally owned Epiphany project organism per living project Body. Model Atlas carries typed offers, claims, evidence, and derived technical relationships; Bifrost is the intended external work, membership, governance, attribution, and identity-linked receipt rail. Public Persona relationships and visitor surfaces are intended social infrastructure, while private Mind and consequence authority remain local. The fleet, real three-repository Gate 1, complete Bifrost attribution, sustained autonomous production, visitor experience, and external design-partner pilots remain gated alpha targets.
   competitive_launch_signal: The 2026-08-22 Munder Difflin launch analysis in notes/munder-difflin-launch-intelligence-2026-08-23.md is the current Eyes/Imagination owner for this category signal. It establishes strong demand to try a packaged, local, visual multi-agent control plane and supplies repeated qualitative demand for an operator-attention surface over plans, questions, blockers, decisions, consequences, and liveness; it does not establish retention, reliable autonomy, or paid product-market fit. Munder is materially ahead in installation, cross-platform reach, provider reuse, category compression, community formation, and feedback velocity. Its public failures make renderer-owned physiology, cross-Body restoration, proxy safety metrics, false consequence receipts, provider parity, and marketed-but-unavailable federation concrete falsification targets. Epiphany does not yet own a general operator UI: Persona projection into shared asynchronous chat is the concrete human surface, while CultMesh remains projection-neutral. Social Aquarium, a dense operator cockpit, TUI, and audit surfaces may use distinct Eve compositions over the same provider-owned facts. A one-hour projection experiment and managed continuity/federation remain evidence-led options rather than adopted roadmap authority; the source-subtraction and test-authority audit remains next.
-  latest_phase: The fresh-package Ox17 lane remains paused for source subtraction. Exact 856648de is the largest current cut: 32,866 net source lines, four binaries, one competing daemon-survival authority, and the entire unconsumed semantic/workspace projection stack are gone. Exact 6e600e8d removes the test-only user proposal mouth and the User/Persona/Bifrost source-kind fiction: only an exact admitted Imagination direction result plus its worker launch/result and autonomous binding can create proposal Modeling work. Exact 82f4733d removes the proposal's duplicated desired outcome, permanently empty scope hints, and copied timestamp. Exact 6fbd8184 removes repository/workspace/thread/runtime mirrors from inert proposal content; the atomic Modeling request owns those coordinates and the autonomous validator binds them back to exact Body/domain and Imagination provenance. Exact e7c1166b repairs the stale Body whitepaper; live code, manifests, scripts, and schemas contain no Rider or Unity integration authority. Brokkr owns Unity through Eve/CultMesh, and a future Rider daemon must own Rider. Native runtime, keyed Mind, Persona, direct Body-to-Modeling flow, exact provider requests, provider-owned Bifrost feedback, and Odin/Idunn deployment receipts remain. Mind/runtime writable epochs are v7/v10; old stores refuse with no migrator or dual reader. No Idunn build, package, deployment, or Ox root is authorized yet. Ox16 remains sealed historical evidence and must never resume.

Ox16 remains sealed historical evidence and must never resume.
   supervisor_subtraction: Exact 856648de completes the supervisor deletion. Epiphany owns no local generic daemon supervisor, semantic projector service, workspace-coverage projector, Windows Task Scheduler integration, or service-policy/lifecycle/heartbeat/recovery mirror. Idunn on Yggdrasil owns source-triggered compilation, testing, packaging, deployment, signed health, and daemon survival. The canonical Epiphany brake gates Epiphany cognition and consequence authority, not Idunn startup or unrelated lifecycle.
   launch_dependency_cut: Exact 2aeab7a9 deletes the generic organ dependency matrix, generic receipt catalogue/proof profiles, persisted worker-launch cargo, Persona prompt injection, evaluator, and three self-certifying tests: 700 net lines. Family admission owners derive exact dependencies from typed state. Worker-launch schema v2 and Persona projector prompt v1 refuse the old writable shape. Core 378/378, OpenRouter runtime 27/27, packaged runtime 13/13, and Persona re-entry 1/1 pass.
   operator_surface_subtraction: Exact ef92e853 deletes the callerless view-lens registry, legacy acceptance-bundle builders, test-only raw-JSON result interpreters, and six tests: 797 net lines. Exact a292979d and 77e817c1 delete the duplicate CRRC recommendation algorithm, its unused input model, and four tests: 206 lines. Exact 3b94bf6e and 59c5e3a6 delete the nested duplicate status view, false auxiliary mode, and ignored status arguments. Exact 7c9b0cf3 deletes the fixed synthetic job table, role-board job cargo/mappers, and its test: 338 net lines. Exact 2ce91461 deletes the scene/planning Mind reconstructions, duplicate self-policy crate, unused prompt templates, four counterfeit schemas, and ten producer/source-text tests: 1,723 net lines. Exact 78836f3b deletes eight unconsumed status tableaux, the pressure calculator production only called without telemetry, its unreachable compaction action, one counterfeit schema, and six tests: 518 net lines. Exact f10f7fb3 deletes the final twelve epiphany.surface.* schemas and ten catalog entries after every one proved producerless and consumerless: 692 pure deletions. Exact ab3cacfb deletes thirty-one more producerless contracts, the false runtime-session mutation mouth, every Epiphany-owned Rider/Unity command schema, a callerless prompt-context module, its test-only specialist prompt system, and four self-affirming tests: 3,514 net lines. Exact 16d85b1b deletes six duplicate JSON-schema builder tests and two OpenAI-runtime self-source searches: 209 pure test-line deletions. Exact 06f93f70 deletes the test-only inverse OpenAI-to-native request mapper and makes two retained tests follow canonical native-to-provider derivation: sixty net lines. The local catalog now has twenty-three live or portable contracts. Brokkr owns Unity capabilities through CultMesh/Eve; a future Rider daemon owns Rider. Status retains Mind identity, exact current work, one action/reason decision, readable role lanes, and operator thought sealing. Core checks cleanly; retained provider and focused request-flow tests pass.
