The repo-owned store layer is gone: 1,302 lines removed, one store format, one
lease and two git preconditions retired. Eight tests moved with the code rather
than waiting for Cut 6, so no rule sits unpinned between cuts.
Four corrections stand against the sections above: the local PipelineRefusal
keeps five variants because decode and validate_pipeline_write_envelope still
raise two of them; the deleted module held 20 tests, so the count is 168; Cut
6's estimate grows to about -1,060 now that the tests travel with the module;
and the schemas README still describes the old store path, which Cut 6 owns.

Operator ruling (2026-09-16, "all recommendations ok"): instance identity is
declared attribution rather than signed authentication on a single-operator
LAN; the workstation reaches the organ over WireGuard, because RUDP is UDP;
TypedCommitStore collapses now that its second profile lives in another repo;
and the organ shares voidbot's Qdrant with the coupling declared as an Idunn
dependency.

Imagination rewrote the means for instance-owned minds: Cuts 4-16 cover
subtraction, the epiphany-pipeline leaf library, Huginn's retirement and its
new huginn-mind and huginn-daemon bodies, Qdrant and Ollama, hand-off and
import, the eureka-state MCP client, deployment, skill wiring and a proof.
Cuts 1, 2 and 3a and the dead rulings sit under a history fence.
pipeline_store.rs dies whole (1,251 lines), and Epiphany's net change across
the campaign is negative. Admission moves to Huginn rather than dragging
epiphany-core into the daemon; Epiphany keeps the documents and schemas
through the leaf library, so ruling 1 holds.
Self bound Soul's S-labels to the new layers and corrected five places where
the target had drifted from the Body: the Ollama endpoint, the scope of
Huginn's authority vacancy, the surviving refusals, the thirteen document
kinds, and import not being a merge.

Operator rulings (2026-09-16), superseding the repo-owned store:
- an instance owns its mind, and stewardship over repos is an assignment;
- a service on Yggdrasil owns the state, so minds leave version control and the
per-clone lease, git preconditions and divergence go with them;
- the organ depends on Qdrant directly, not on voidbot, and embeds through
Ollama on Nightwing;
- Huginn becomes that organ, and generic .cc inspection belongs to CultCache
Studio.
The organ speaks CultNet with eureka-state as a thin stdio MCP client; an
unreachable organ refuses loudly rather than spooling. Cut 3a's documents,
keys, validation and refusals survive; its store, lease and git layers do not.

Operator ruling: Eureka has no Persona. Self is the operator surface, and a
blocking question may be pushed through whatever notification MCP the user
configures, so Eureka owns no transport. Answering over a chat channel is a
later campaign.

Operator rulings (2026-09-15):
- one store per clone, in the main working tree, with worktrees admitting into
it;
- numeric attempt and pass numbers, counted per cut;
- the commit profile owns identity-on-first-write.

Operator ruling (2026-09-15): Q1-Q5 all A. That means:
- one single-file store per repo, with an admission-replay merge;
- additive-only epochs;
- merge_exclusion settlement;
- voidbot indexes the default branch only;
- schemars unconditional in core.
The Eureka skill is also published as the GameCult/Eureka repo, and Cut 5's
skill edits land there.

Imagination's cut map, built from probes:
1. Re-pin CultLib: 12 load_envelope sites; core 154/154 at the new pin.
2. One profile-parameterized commit owner.
3. The pipeline document set, lease, admission, queries, and a merge command.
4. The eureka-state stdio MCP package.
5. Skill wiring.
6. A proof campaign on the CultRecordRefFormatter follow-ups.
7. voidbot projection.
Five operator questions are open. The target now drops the claim that the
store merges in git, and records that voidbot indexes only default branches.

Operator ruling (2026-09-15): only one Epiphany or Eureka may write a repo's
pipeline store at a time, and a second concurrent writer is refused. A merge
tool still reconciles divergent copies through admission, reporting true
conflicts as typed refusals rather than letting the last writer win.

Operator ruling (2026-09-15), superseding the user-level store: each
campaign's store is committed in the repo where the task runs, and
knowledge crosses repos only through explicit sharing. Pushing the working
branch syncs it to Yggdrasil, where voidbot's existing repo mirror indexes
it.

Operator ruling (2026-09-15): Epiphany owns the typed schemas and admission
for pipeline state (findings, rulings, cut specs and reports, follow-ups).
The Eureka Claude Code skill reaches that state through a per-session Rust
stdio MCP server, built as an Epiphany package, over one user-level store.
voidbot indexes a projection for semantic search. The campaign re-pins
CultLib first, and Epiphany adopting Eureka's habits follows later.

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.
