Epiphany Current Algorithmic Map

This is the source-grounded map of the live machine. Historical route and bridge anatomy belongs in git history and evidence ledgers, not here.

Objective

Epiphany is a native typed organism. Persistent Mind, coordinator policy, worker lifecycle, organ receipts, prompt context, operator surfaces, and Verse publication are owned by Epiphany Rust/CultCache/CultMesh/CultNet organs. Vendored Codex retains Codex-native behavior and the OpenAI-compatible authentication/model-transport reliquary. It owns no Epiphany state, prompt, scheduler, route, notification, or interface contract.

Authority Map

Owner	Inputs	Outputs	Invariant
epiphany-state-model	typed state fields	EpiphanyThreadState and prompt projection	State is typed; rendering is not authority.
coordinator_state_transaction.rs	expected state, next state, typed companion envelopes	one atomic canonical-state transaction	Sole production writer of THREAD_STATE_KEY; companions cannot impersonate state.
coordinator_state.rs	current state plus validated ordinary update	proposed next state and transaction request	Owns update meaning, not persistence.
coordinator_launch.rs	validated launch plan, state, runtime envelopes	state-plus-launch transaction request	Launch constructs runtime companions; the transaction owner commits them.
coordinator_acceptance.rs	reviewed finding, Mind review, commit receipt	state-plus-Mind-witness transaction request	Acceptance owns admission meaning; the transaction owner commits its witnesses.
thread_state_store.rs	typed state entry	low-level CultCache codec/read access	Substrate, not policy; it exposes no production writer.
coordinator_service.rs	state/runtime store paths and typed commands	state update, launch, accept, interrupt results	Facade routes typed work; it contains no policy or protocol mapping.
surfaces/*	native state, runtime snapshots, pressure/freshness inputs	scene, jobs, roles, planning, context, graph, CRRC, coordinator recommendations	Read surfaces derive; they do not mutate.
runtime_spine.rs	typed launch/result/receipt documents	CultCache runtime records	Runtime lifecycle and evidence are durable typed documents.
mind_gateway.rs and coordinator acceptance	worker findings and proposed patches	review, rejection, or state-commit receipts	Worker thought cannot write Mind directly.
substrate_gate.rs	bounded access intent	scoped access grant/refusal	Repository access and state admission are separate authorities.
eyes_gateway.rs	inspected source under a grant	evidence review/packet/refusal	Looked-at truth carries provenance.
hands_gateway.rs	approved action intent	patch/command/commit/PR receipts	Consequence is bounded, attributable, and reviewable.
soul_gateway.rs	claimed consequence plus evidence	verdict/refusal receipt	Work is not true merely because it ran.
continuity_gateway.rs	rupture/checkpoint/recovery facts	continuity receipts	Survival state is explicit, not transcript residue.
heartbeat_state.rs and daemon binaries	durable schedule/liveness policy	pulses, launch pressure, sleep/rumination state	Scheduling is physiology, not project truth.
cultmesh_integration.rs and epiphany-verse-query	typed local documents	private/local/public Verse projections	Visibility never creates authority or declassifies private state.
Persona loop	state projection, stimulus, semantic recall	natural speech plus interpreted candidate actions	Imagination projects; Persona speaks; Mind interprets.
vendored Codex	Codex sessions and OpenAI-compatible auth/model transport	Codex behavior and model transport	No Epiphany protocol or durable Epiphany state crosses this boundary.

Primary State Flow

    I["Typed intent or worker finding"] --> G["Mind gateway review"]
    G -->|reject| R["Typed rejection receipt"]
    G -->|admit| V["State validation"]

    S --> P["Derived native surfaces"]
    P --> O["Coordinator / operator / Eve projections"]

coordinator_state_transaction::{open_coordinator_state_transaction, commit_coordinator_state_transaction} is the single persistence owner. Ordinary updates, launch transactions, and accepted findings construct their domain-specific next state or companion documents, then submit them to that owner. It rejects stale expected state, refuses companion envelopes that target the canonical key, and commits state plus companions in one prepared batch. thread_state_store.rs retains typed codec/read access only; its production raw writers and their public exports are deleted. A source guard rejects any second production THREAD_STATE_KEY writer. EpiphanyCoordinatorService is the narrow caller-facing facade.

Forbidden writers:

• worker result payloads;
• operator display JSON;
• Codex rollouts or Codex thread objects;
• derived scene/coordinator/context projections;
• heartbeat telemetry;
• CultMesh mirrors and public Verse documents.

Worker And Receipt Flow

    MG --> SC["State commit receipt"]
    SC --> S["Native thread state"]

runtime_spine.rs registers and persists worker launch requests, worker results, Mind reviews, Mind commit receipts, Eyes packets, Substrate Gate grants, Hands consequence receipts, Soul verdicts, Continuity receipts, and coordinator run receipts. EpiphanyCoordinatorService now accepts one store path for canonical state and its atomic runtime/witness companions. The native status mouth exposes the same boundary as one --store argument. Document families remain typed and separately owned inside the cache; filesystem path plurality no longer pretends to be an authority boundary.

Hands → Soul → Modeling Loop

1. Self emits a bounded Hands gate with requested paths and required receipts.
2. Substrate Gate records the access grant.
3. Hands records intent/review plus patch, command, and commit receipts.
4. coordinator_launch_context.rs builds sealed work-loop telemetry from that receipt chain for Soul.
5. Soul emits a verdict receipt against the actual consequence.
6. Modeling receives the verified consequence and proposes a map/state patch.
7. coordinator_acceptance.rs commits an admitted proposal with its Mind review/commit witnesses before Self routes another Hands turn.

The repo-work scheduler obeys the same order. After a branch-local execute receipt it stops at await-modeling; it cannot invoke closure or manufacture Modeling/Mind evidence. epiphany-work close requires explicit model authorship, model reference, verdict, and finding before it can admit a map. Deterministic checks remain Soul evidence, not a substitute for Modeling. The verified consequence now crosses an explicit epiphany.modeling.repo_work_request.v0 boundary authored by Self. The request is immutable, references the passing Soul receipt, commit, and changed paths, and grants Modeling interpretation authority without granting Self authority to write the result. A Modeling finding is refused unless it answers that exact request and matches its verified consequence. The current close command writes both phase documents from explicit CLI cargo; scheduler launch and asynchronous result collection remain the next cut.

Soul verification is now an explicit phase of the shared closure pipeline. epiphany-work verify and the first post-execution scheduler pulse run only that phase: deterministic verification, immutable Soul verdict, and immutable Self-to-Modeling request. Modeling absence or a non-passing Modeling verdict can no longer make Soul report failure. The partial closure artifact is status=awaiting-modeling; overview and later scheduler pulses preserve that gate rather than mistaking file existence for Mind admission. The scheduler source contains neither the Modeling finding writer nor map admission.

Repo work now has a native third worker launch kind beside generic role and reorientation work: repo-work-modeling. It runs through the existing epiphany-openai-runtime, carries the immutable request plus the bounded Soul-verified commit diff, and requires epiphany.worker.repo_work_modeling_result.v0. The runtime—not Self—converts model output directly into the canonical RepoWorkModelingFinding. Scheduler pulses launch one detached runtime job, wait without duplication, consume only the typed finding, and then resume the existing immutable Mind/map admission. A non-passing finding is immutable and stops for reviewed revision rather than being overwritten or silently retried.

The former direct CLI writer is cut. epiphany-work close --model-authored ... may no longer create a Modeling finding; closure can only reread the canonical runtime document. The obsolete direct-CLI closure smoke was deleted. A live negative probe returned exit 1 for forged passing CLI cargo while leaving the typed request awaiting its real Modeling worker.

Detached worker physiology is now Idunn-owned. epiphany-work opens the typed runtime job and invokes epiphany-daemon-supervisor service-launch; it contains no child-process spawn. The supervisor launches the existing model runtime, owns Windows hidden-process behavior, redirects stdout/stderr to explicit artifacts, and publishes an epiphany.cultmesh.daemon_service_lifecycle_receipt.v0 containing service and process identity. Self receives that receipt ID as routing evidence only. Live item idunn-owned-modeling crossed this boundary and reached the Bifrost gate.

The accepted interpretation is persisted as epiphany.modeling.repo_work_finding.v0; it references the passing Soul verdict, commit, and changed paths. Mind rereads that typed receipt and the admitted repo map plus CultMesh projection carry its receipt ID.

The canonical repo-work map entry is epiphany.repo_work.map_entry.v0 in the same runtime CultCache. commit_repo_work_map_admission validates it against the persisted Modeling finding, then publishes the map entry, Mind review, and Mind commit in one prepared batch. The former bespoke .epiphany/state/repo-work-map.msgpack owner is deleted. CultMesh remains a projection after admission and cannot repair or override the canonical entry.

Closure phase documents are immutable by stable receipt ID. An identical retry reuses the existing Soul verdict and Modeling finding, rereads an already admitted Mind/map batch, and regenerates only operator/CultMesh projections. Conflicting same-ID Soul, Modeling, or map cargo is refused; no reconciliation loop may overwrite the earlier truth.

Manual edits and programmatic actions converge at the same receipt and Mind admission boundaries. A later action cannot retroactively make an unrecorded consequence valid.

Read And Recommendation Flow

epiphany-mvp-status reads the unified native coordinator store. It derives:

• scene via surfaces/scene.rs;
• pressure via surfaces/pressure.rs;
• freshness via surfaces/freshness.rs;
• jobs via surfaces/jobs.rs;
• role board via surfaces/role_board.rs;
• planning via surfaces/planning.rs;
• reorientation via surfaces/reorient.rs;
• CRRC via surfaces/crrc.rs;
• coordinator status via surfaces/coordinator.rs.

epiphany-mvp-coordinator consumes that native status shape. Requested Hands paths come from the scene checkpoint/frontier. Revision comes from /scene/scene/revision. There is no Codex read.thread.epiphanyState fallback.

Persona Flow

flowchart LR
    T["Typed Persona state + visible stimulus"] --> PR["Imagination Projector"]
    PR --> PE["Persona turn"]
    PE --> IN["Mind Interpreter"]
    IN --> CA["Candidate actions / memory proposals"]
    CA --> G["Review and external authority gates"]

Semantic memory recall is a bounded context input, not a state writer. Outside world actions pass through Bifrost identity/governance and Heimdall capability proofs. Persona speech audits are typed CultMesh witnesses; public speech does not expose private worker or operator state.

Heartbeat And Daemon Physiology

heartbeat_state.rs, epiphany-heartbeat-store, epiphany-daemon-supervisor, and epiphany-cluster-daemon own scheduling and liveness. A lane is not relaunched while its prior turn is active. Cooldown begins after completion. Idle physiology may ruminate, distill memory, or dream without claiming project-state authority.

Idunn owns daemon survival. Self and Gjallar may inspect and recommend; they do not become alternate daemon keepers.

Verse And Interface Projection

CultMesh is the preferred local typed interface over CultCache/CultNet.

• epiphany-internal: private thoughts, reviews, receipts, and local organ coordination;
• gamecult-local: trusted operator-safe GameCult sharing;
• epiphany-global: public dreams and Persona/public discussion documents.

Eve/CultUI surfaces lower typed CultMesh composition/state. Renderers and wrappers do not own the projected truth.

Codex Boundary

The following are structurally absent:

• thread/epiphany/* requests and notifications;
• ThreadEpiphany* protocol DTOs and generated bindings;
• Thread.epiphanyState in Codex app-server payloads;
• Epiphany rollout migration or replay;
• app-server phase-6 Epiphany smokes;
• Codex-backed MVP status/interruption;
• epiphany-codex-bridge.

Native coordinator/status projections emit state, not the deleted Codex Thread.epiphanyState spelling. Source guards reject that compatibility field and reject the old two-store status flags.

Codex app-server protocol has no dependency on epiphany-state-model. App-server has no Epiphany state-model/core/bridge dependency. Negative source checks in native launch/coordinator code reject renewed Codex route authority.

Verification Layers

Claim	Evidence layer
State mutation law	state_update.rs and coordinator-state unit tests
Worker/Mind admission	runtime-spine and coordinator-acceptance tests
Read-only derived surfaces	focused surfaces/* tests
Native status/interrupt	epiphany-mvp-status tests and executable smoke paths
Hands/Soul loop	Hands receipt tests plus coordinator launch-context tests
Protocol starvation	source scans, app-server compile, generated-schema equivalence
Verse privacy/authority	CultMesh/Verse focused smokes and typed receipt readbacks
Public crossings	Persona/Bifrost bridge smokes with private-state seals

Current Cut Line

Keep:

• native typed state and runtime stores;
• explicit organ gates and receipts;
• native coordinator/status surfaces;
• CultMesh/CultNet/Eve projection;
• Codex-compatible auth/model transport where still required.

Cut or correct next:

• current plans and handoff prose that still describe deleted Codex routes or bridge files as live mechanisms;
• wrapper arguments named for Codex when they no longer cross a Codex boundary;
• compatibility-shaped JSON field names inside native-only operator artifacts when no external contract requires them;
• misleading state/runtime store path names;
• any remaining full-context serializer or summary that duplicates typed owner state instead of projecting it narrowly.

This map must change when ownership changes. Historical scars belong in git, evidence, or an explicitly archived note—not in the machine's proprioception.
