Epiphany pinned ghostlight-persona-projection at 2228189
(2026-08-16), which still carries the vendor/cultcache-py submodule
pointing at https://github.com/GameCult/cultcache-py.git. That repo
was folded into CultLib's packages/cultcache-py and no longer exists,
so a fresh clone that recursively fetches Ghostlight submodules fails
cargo's `unable to update` step even though Epiphany's own tree is
otherwise clean.
Move the pin to 22937b7 (2026-09-13), the nearest Ghostlight revision
without a dead submodule: it replaces vendor/cultcache-py with the
published cultcache-py PyPI package and keeps only vendor/eve. Between
the two revisions the crate's public surface stayed source-compatible
for the three call sites Epiphany uses, with three additive/field
changes: ProjectorPrompt and PersonaPrompt gained a required
word_budget field (set to 180, matching Ghostlight's own
PERSONA_WORD_BUDGET convention for narrative Persona controllers), and
InterpreterPrompt's output_schema became Option<&str> (wrapped in
Some(..) to keep the always-supplied schema).

main's only commit not on this branch deletes the stale compaction scratch and
the superseded protocol/controller-actions.md (census REC-045/REC-104). Merging
it here lets main fast-forward to the live branch, so Epiphany's default branch
stops pinning the retiring standalone cultcache-rs and cultnet-rs submodules.

Deletes state/scratch-compaction-17cd64d8-da88-4642-a871-4cf1b768c20a.md: a
pre-compaction memory dump naming lost E:\Projects paths, a set of
"pseudo-Epiphany" repos to migrate, and the native
epiphany-agent-memory-store binary as its validation gate. That binary was
removed along with the other parallel executable control planes (commit
387afe49, 2026-08-23). The prompt doc the scratch describes producing
(notes/true-epiphany-memory-migration-sandbox-prompt.md) was already either
admitted or abandoned; the scratch itself records no unresolved next action
beyond "commit the doc," which git history shows happened or didn't
independently of this file.
Deletes protocol/controller-actions.md: self-described as "the legacy/manual
controller discipline from the first external-state prototype," it still
instructs writes to state/branches.json and state/evidence.jsonl — both
verified absent from the current tree (git show origin/main:state/branches.json
and :state/evidence.jsonl both fail). No Rust source references
"controller-actions" (checked via git grep across *.rs).
FALSIFIED, not cut: REC-104 also named "orphan prompt files"
(epiphany-state-model/src/prompts/epiphany_doctrine.md and
epiphany_state_intro.md) as dead. They are not — epiphany-state-model/src/
prompt.rs:30-31 pulls both in via include_str!, and epiphany-core/Cargo.toml:40
depends on epiphany-state-model as a path dependency. Deleting them would
break the build. Left untouched; see the coordinator report.
MOOT, not cut: REC-104's "stale scratch tail" referred (per
pass-one/deletion-candidates.md and branch-graveyard.md:390) to a leftover
EpiphanyRuntimeJobResult action at the tail of state/scratch.md. That file
now reads only "No active scratch subgoal. Rehydrate from state/map.yaml..."
— already retired before this pass, independent of this repo's current
(and very much alive) EpiphanyRuntimeJobResult type used throughout
epiphany-core/src/runtime_spine.rs.
Kill attempts: git grep -n for both deleted filenames across origin/main,
and rg across all of F:/Projects excluding target/node_modules/.git/
.epiphany-run: only the census documents and gamecult-site's generated
interactive repo-doc-tree (a static GitHub-link catalog, not a functional
reader) reference either path.
Collision check: git diff --stat origin/main against the active checkout
(codex/epiphany-shakedown-live), the epiphany-model-bridge worktree, and all
four detached .epiphany-run / temp worktrees, over both deleted paths: all
empty.

What the improvised Self/Modeling/Imagination/Hands/Soul/Steward pipeline
did across nine design passes and four cuts, where it paid, where it leaked,
and what Epiphany's structured implementation should make typed: faculty
artifacts as schemas, rulings as a first-class artifact, a landed-names
digest per cut, owner-scoped edit queues, structural steward triggers, a
Self that cannot open source except through a faculty, and swarm visibility
as a read surface.

The worktree had been sitting on a partial `cargo fmt` run: 15 files reflowed,
mostly multi-line derive attributes collapsed onto one line, with no semantic
change anywhere in the diff. It was never finished -- `cargo fmt --check` still
flagged resident_readiness.rs, which the pass had not reached.
Completed rather than reverted, since the formatting is what rustfmt produces
and leaving it half-applied is the only bad option. 16 test binaries pass.

Epiphany carried three vendored copies: CultCache and CultNet as submodules on
their own branches of the retiring standalone repos, and a 491-line in-tree
CultMesh, a third Rust CultMesh lineage after CultLib's and Odin's.
None of it was load-bearing. Against CultLib the CultCache fork held nothing
unique, CultNet held one function that CultLib had all along but kept private,
and CultMesh held two thin delegations to CultCache. All three are now exposed
in CultLib, so this repoint needed no code changes at all: the workspace
compiles and its 16 test binaries pass against the pinned revision unchanged.
The submodule working tree also carried an uncommitted change, which turned out
to be a rustfmt reflow of one test expression. Nothing was lost with it.
Only the manifests move here. The in-flight epiphany-core work is left
uncommitted and untouched.

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, not AGENTS.md, so this repo's doctrine was
invisible to it. This one-line import makes the existing AGENTS.md load
without duplicating or renaming it. Codex is unaffected.
