gamecult-ops 803f2c7 pins each of the four cargo steps as a whole
docker invocation, asserts the recipe order, and brings the runbook into
the wiring test. The four mutations that previously passed silently now
fail, and no pre-existing assertion was weakened.
The same defect class survives in three places outside this migration:
the web build container, the Codex Connector's cargo steps, and a fixed
18-line search window. All three are recorded as follow-ups.
Soul has not yet passed on the fix batch.

The assertions Cut 2 added pin text, not invocations. Deleting the two
lines above the pinned cargo line turns it into trailing arguments on the
previous container: the kernel tests never run and the wiring test still
passes. Nothing pins the order of the four cargo steps, and the wiring
test never reads the runbook.
Those three are going to a fix batch. Two more are recorded, not fixed: a
redeploy of an already-sealed commit runs no cargo steps at all, which is
pre-existing deploy behaviour the operator owns, and the dated census docs
still show the old single-crate paths.
What held: the library step runs in the right branch with the same image
and mounts, its failure aborts the deploy, and the acceptance test path
resolves under the library crate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cut 2 landed at gamecult-ops 6aba281: the library test step now runs in
the deploy script, is documented in the runbook, and is asserted by the
wiring test. Without it a deploy would run 50 tests and skip the 420
kernel tests that moved to the library crate.
Two defects in this map's own spec, reported by Hands rather than worked
around:
- the assertion it specified was vacuous, because require_text is a
substring match and the given string is a substring of the
persona-projection line;
- the acceptance test path lives in a variable the spec did not list,
pinned by the wiring test and repeated in the runbook prose.
Changing the acceptance binding means sealed acceptance witnesses from
before this commit will miss and regenerate.
Soul has not passed on Cut 2 yet.

Cut 1 landed at 108b691..f859d2c. Soul reran the builds, tests, census and
mutations itself and confirmed the behavior-unchanged claim; it found six
defects.
F1 is the one that matters: the seal is name-based. Public ID types,
ScopeDigest and DecisionOpportunity all derive Deserialize, so an external
crate can mint them from JSON and rebuild the fixture path ruling Q1-4
said must be unreachable. The reducer still rejects forged opportunities,
so kernel integrity holds while the invariant's wording does not. Q1-9 asks
the operator whether sealing means unforgeable admission or unconstructible
types.
F2 (bypassable minter count) and F3 (71 unused public items) are queued for
the fix batch. F4 names Eve in library error strings. F5 and F6 are
recorded, not fixed.
The map, map.yaml and the handoff now say the kernel is the ghostlight
crate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Completes the move begun in the previous commit, which does not build on its
own. `ghostlight` is now a library crate with an explicit public surface;
`ghostlight-dungeon` is a consumer that reaches the kernel through it and
cannot reach past it.
Deleted first: `mod world;`, the nine unused re-exports, the `#[cfg(test)]`
re-export block, `fixture_controller_opportunities`, the five inference
`fixture_*` items, Dungeon's own `VerifiedPrincipalEvidence`, and Dungeon's
direct `ghostlight-persona-projection` dependency.
The seal. `WorldKernel`, `WorldState`, `reduce`, `apply_effect`,
`CommandEnvelope`, `AuthenticatedCaller`, the journal writer, every ID
`issue()`, and `ScopeDigest::fixture` carry no `pub` of any kind and no
feature gate; the crate declares no `[features]`, so no build configuration
can lift them. Ten `compile_fail` doc-tests stand outside the crate and pin
each one to its error code.
The principal seam. The library owns `VerifiedPrincipalEvidence` with a public
`new`; `mailbox` still bounds it by `valid_until` at ingress. A Dungeon test
counts the minters in production source and fails at anything but one.
The port contract (Q1-7). `PreparedInference::prepare` (renamed from the free
`prepare_invocation`), `InferenceOutput::new`, and
`InferenceFault::{retryable, recovery_required, integrity_violation}` are now
the port's public constructors, so a consumer-implemented `InferencePort` can
answer without test-only wrappers. `TracingInferencePort` is an ungated
decorator.
The tick-ordering test (Q1-8) derives its cover from a real active world
through `derive_cover` and asserts two cells; its ordering and shared-tick
assertions are unchanged.
Behaviour is unchanged. The library's 420 unit tests are the base `world::`
set with the prefix stripped — the names diff empty. Dungeon keeps all 49 of
its names and gains two Soul tests the boundary requires. No schema string,
digest preimage, or store layout is touched.
Windows verification only; the Linux release is Idunn's build.

Pure `git mv` of the thirteen files under
`crates/ghostlight-dungeon/src/world/` into `crates/ghostlight/src/`, with
`mod.rs` becoming `lib.rs`. No byte of any file changes; all thirteen are
detected as renames so history follows.
This commit does not build. The crate graph has no `ghostlight` package yet
and `ghostlight-dungeon` still declares `mod world;`. The next commit adds
the manifest, the public boundary, and the consumer rewrite; the two are
pushed together.

Rulings Q1-1 through Q1-6 are in the map's status header. The crate is
`ghostlight`. The Vault reader and the SDK port go in the library. The
library owns the principal evidence type. The persona projection crate
stays separate. The gamecult-ops cargo lines are edited, not retired,
and editing them is not an endorsement to run those helpers.
Ruling Q1-4 asked for the Dungeon tests that need sealed fixtures to move
into the library. Classification found none to move: all five are Dungeon
runtime tests. Two further rulings close it instead:
- Q1-7: the inference port's value constructors become the port's public
contract and the five fixtures are deleted.
- Q1-8: the cover ordering test derives its cover from a real world, and
the last fixture reaching a sealed ID constructor is deleted.
The sealed ID issuers and ScopeDigest::fixture stay private under every
configuration, with no feature gate anywhere.

The Imagination pass maps plan step 15 L0 against d83534c:
- Cut 0: base captures (469 bin tests, and a world.cc written at base).
- Cut 1: a single Ghostlight commit that moves world/ into a library
crate with the exact public boundary (compile_fail doc tests prove the
sealed items) and a test-support feature for cross-boundary fixtures.
- Cut 2: the gamecult-ops cargo invocations.
The map was probed with scratch cargo checks on the Windows workstation,
so it proves Windows only. Six operator questions are open. No code has
moved.

Plan step 15 pass L0 extracts the world kernel from crates/ghostlight-dungeon
into its own library crate. The new target document lists the invariants
that must survive:
- sealed kernel visibility at the crate boundary;
- no change in behavior, schemas, or stores;
- no Dungeon concepts or dependencies in the library;
- a working release path;
- unaffected pins;
- bounded build fan-out.
It also lists the questions Imagination must bring back.
Two evidence records from 2026-09-15 disagreed about focus and whether the
extraction and title decisions were settled. They are now one boundary
record. The title correction now points at the ontology doc's lens section.
The compaction archived the previous records verbatim.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A detail rule is a function from place to detail level. Each consumer
chooses its own level-of-detail rule. Dungeon uses ByDistance anchored on
important subjects, the player first. Delvehold starts from Uniform.
Rules are typed world data that the library evaluates, not consumer code.
The deficit a rule produces is an admission input, and journal replay
re-runs reduce, so a changed consumer function would break committed
history. WorldScaleIntent per-kind targets remain the ceiling a rule
distributes.
The eight titles move into the library doc as the stock lens set. The
kernel extraction is ordered as plan step 15 pass L0, ahead of every
library pass.

Ghostlight Dungeon is a consumer of the Ghostlight library. Session Zero,
Vault choice, players, sliders and starting locations are Dungeon authority
and do not shape the library.
The ontology doc gains consumer-neutral library targets: elaboration
lenses with weights, focus-weighted demand with a consumer-supplied detail
profile, one evidence source bound per world, and elaborator sessions in
Draft. The Session Zero doc now carries only Dungeon policy that consumes
those capabilities.
The map records the boundary as a hard rule. The plan splits into library
passes L1-L4 and Dungeon passes D1-D3. Two decisions stay open: extracting
the kernel from crates/ghostlight-dungeon, and whether the eight titles ship
as a library stock lens set.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The memory steward found four leftover lines. The plan and the ontology
doc now describe elaborators as lensed sessions, not eight fixed
instances. The handoff no longer says there is no Session Zero. The
ontology doc notes that Session Zero stops declaring the human at the
genesis commons.

The eight titles (Patina, Charter, Ledger, Hearth, Tangle, Veil, Ember,
Numen) were deleted with their titled verifier and quotas, and no operator
decision covered them. The ontology doc and evidence record 6 now say the
tribunal was the verifier and the quotas, not the titles. A new correction
record carries the history and the 2026-09-15 direction.
Session Zero is the player's path through a world's Draft phase. The player
chooses a Vault, describes the experience, and sets title weights. The seed
lane sketches the world and the player chooses a start. A swarm then draws a
title by weight for each session and elaborates by travel distance from the
player, before and after activation. It is plan step 15, and its fifth pass
closes the playtest gate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The playtest gate goes ahead of the outbound consumer batch. The handoff
defines it and lists the walls found in source. The map no longer claims
co-op for up to eight players on the rebuilt kernel. It points the economy
spec at GameCult/Njordr and says CultCache comes from CultLib, not a
vendored copy.

The elaborator swarm's GitHub branches were removed after verified bundling,
but its output is still wanted: the operator will integrate ideas into the
lore vaults as time allows. The durable record now lives in the repository
that owns the obligation instead of a Codex task folder and deleted branches.
experiments/elaboration/ carries the reviewed additions packet (A2 and D1-D3
approved, A1 demoted, K1/K2/Z1-Z3 pending), the per-world reviews, the
2026-09-05 shortlist with its 20 full candidates, and the 92 per-pass idea
ledgers, with a README naming where the bundled vault additions are and how
to restore one. The four reviewer-accepted first-generation world fixtures
return from their deleted codex/world-* branches to examples/ and
prompts/image-generation/ beside the existing fixtures. The map and handoff
point at the new home.

CultLib's packages/cultcache-py is now published as cultcache-py==0.2.0 on
PyPI (MIT), so the standalone GameCult/cultcache-py fork that Ghostlight
vendored as a submodule is retired. Symbol-for-symbol and on-disk-format
verification against the pinned submodule commit 9b4bbb8 found no
incompatibility: every symbol tools/ghostlight_state_store.py imports
(CultCache, JsonLinesBackingStore, define_document_type) and every method it
calls kept its signature, and JsonLinesBackingStore's on-disk JSONL envelope
fields and sort order are unchanged, confirmed by a real round-trip against
Ghostlight's production state/ghostlight-state.cultcache.jsonl.
tools/ghostlight_state_store.py no longer pushes vendor/cultcache-py/src onto
sys.path; it imports cultcache_py directly. Since Ghostlight's session
bootstrap previously depended on the submodule needing no install step,
tools/requirements.txt now pins cultcache-py==0.2.0 and npm run
state:bootstrap (pip install -r tools/requirements.txt, idempotent) runs as a
pre-hook ahead of state:status and state:prepare-compaction; AGENTS.md's
Session Bootstrap protocol and Useful Commands section call it out explicitly
for the direct ghostlight_state.py CLI invocations that don't go through npm.
Verified for real: `python tools/ghostlight_state.py status` and `python
tools/ghostlight_prepare_compaction.py`, run from a venv with cultcache-py
installed from PyPI, against Ghostlight's actual production state file (22 ok
findings, 2 pre-existing unrelated warnings, exit 0 both times).
Idunn's deployment/idunn/recipe.toml never declared vendor/cultcache-py in
required_gitlinks (only vendor/eve) and its build/test/service steps never
touch Python state tooling, so no recipe change is needed for admission.

The heat spreader is a role; copper, a vapour-chamber part, or anything
else fills it by its properties alone. A property value may be a curve over
an operating condition, so a part that fails hot fills a cool recipe and
not a hot one. No optional roles, no alternate recipes.

Player activity moves prices both up and down the recipe graph: consumption
is a lot sink so floods find a floor; producers' planned inputs are derived
demand so crashes propagate to inputs; markets admit or refuse lots by
provenance so a diverted shipment re-enters through a black market; corners
are bounded by the scoring rule and answered by supply. Seeding guarantees
every market is served or marked unserved as a fact.

Greathold recipes, facilities, inventories, orders, and prices are Njordr
lots, recipes, markets, and quotes; Delvehold civic organs author policy as
demand rows and carrier policies. Unity embedding settled as the Rust engine
over a C ABI. The integration note's Delvehold-owner line is marked
superseded.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The engine is a pure deterministic step function over a state document and
an exogenous event stream it cannot attribute; the shell is the daemon.
Single-player Aetheria hands over the engine state and an event script,
never precalculated prices, so player choices stay live against the story.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Economic flow is materialized as shipments a player can meet. Aetheria's
interspersed profile adds materialization, interception against a revision,
and per-zone cadence; Delvehold keeps the boundary profile. One ledger, one
quote function; only the subscription grain differs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dimensions, materials, lots with provenance, recipes as roles, products as
property vectors; markets as Ghostlight mirrors; prices as a pure function
of committed state; both directions through the consumer contract. The
economy owner is the consumer that owns a world's market mirrors.

The Interpreter was citing correctly and the fold was discarding: an
utterance split by narration lost its second half and a turn's second
visible act became an ambiguity gap. Every span cited for a kind now joins
that kind's one statement in prose order; only an overlapping span is an
ambiguity. NarrativeCapture carries the spans, the invocation still carries
one utterance and one display. controller_work.v15.

Runbook row 11 and the interrupted-cell section, evidence record, map and

A committed turn that re-lowered once carries its pair of scope digests on
the receipt; the cover tick logs it per cell and keeps it on the tick
summary, and the smoke harness prints one "interrupted cell" line per
re-lowered cell after the tick line. The operator feed line shows a display
beside or instead of speech.

Runbook row 10 and the interrupted-cell section; plan step 14 landed;

An invocation may carry a display, the actor's own visible sentence, beside
or instead of its utterance. The kernel lowers it as speech's twin: an
AssertClaim and a Display whose room is re-derived at apply, landing
Seen { by } on everyone standing in the actor's place and on nobody else,
never over a channel. A speech-carrying entry given a display alone is an
address, not SpeechRequired; an empty display is EmptyDisplay; a placeless
actor has no room. The Interpreter gains a display tool quoting the visible
clause alone; the narrative capture carries both spans; the fold allows one
of each. Overheard rows and Projector knowledge rows say how a thing was
perceived: said by, seen doing, or known. The journal's event-shape rule
counts both lowerings. Kernel-only lowering: no patch tool, catalog stays
thirty. Schemas: world_state.consumer.v4, world_commit.consumer.v4,
controller_work.v14. Six tests pin the room, the silence, the refusals,
replay, the fold, and the interruption block.

A visible act becomes Seen { by } knowledge on the co-located, kernel-lowered
from the invocation beside speech, quoted by the Interpreter as the visible
clause alone. Intent stays private. Authority map, cut line, budgets,
verification, and the three operator decisions are in the plan; map,
handoff, and scratch point at it. Not built.

world_create.v3 carries a required brief, trimmed at ingress, stored on the
state and its snapshot, and projected as the guidance of the Projector,
Persona, Interpreter, operational, and grouped lanes and both authoring
prompts. The two narrative stages that rebuild prompts on resume carry it
(controller_work.v13). The smoke titles its world by the seed root label and
hands its brief to the world rather than to each seed session, so a vow can
no longer name a test fixture.

Run 7's seed authored six distinct people with memories, reads, and worded
promises, and every declare_subject carried an empty controller: the field
had no description and the tool result said only "recorded as a gap". The
controller variant now describes its two shapes, and a decode failure's
reason goes back to the model in the tool result. The SDK lowering renders a
later user turn into its transcript, so a refusal continuation reaches the
sidecar instead of faulting.

Plan step 12. PersonaMaterial is the ontology's thirteenth row, built:
values, voice, memories, and reads keyed by subject, set whole by
set_persona_material, refused for padded text or a doubled read, no-op when
identical, outside every scope digest. A commitment carries a statement of
what is promised, required at authoring; an affordance-made promise states
the action it came through. The Projector context carries material by label,
each promise's statement, and who else stands in the same place; the
Persona's identity is label, voice, and values. Schemas move to consumer.v3.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The membrane traced end to end: the Projector's borrowed voice, the
contentless commitment, the unbuilt PersonaMaterial, and the missing
co-presence are recorded as findings; the harness no longer claims to fail
on silence, which is now the honest baseline. The map and handoff point at
the decision the operator owns.

The Projector and Persona prompts asked for what this person remembers,
wants, and fears, with no component to ground any of it, so every seeded
person spoke in the model's one borrowed voice. Both prompts now render only
what the context establishes, say plainly what is unknown, and treat the
word budget as a ceiling. A commitment's due reaches the Projector as
minutes from now, since a bare 1000 was read as a sum of money.

A test-only TracingInferencePort wraps any inference port and appends each
request's purpose, model, instructions, input turns, tool catalog, and
output to the file GHOSTLIGHT_SMOKE_TRACE names. The logs redact prose by
design and the store is a temp directory, so this is the one way to read
what the Projector, the Persona, and the Interpreter were each given and
what each returned on a road run.

The Projector context carried a name, a clock, and permission to speak, so a
seeded person reasoned correctly from nothing and said "I'm here". It now
carries the acting subject's own place, routes, holdings, dependencies,
authority shape, offices, redress, promises with their counterparties, and
pressure on self, resolved to labels. Another subject is named only where
this subject's own components bind them. Ids, keys, digests, revisions, and
every other subject's state stay out; the leak tests pin it.

Run 3 proves speech cited by quote arrives whole with no quarantine. The
map, handoff, and runbook now say the SDK route is run; the remaining road
item is the live interrupted cell. One distilled evidence record carries

The Interpreter's speak and record_gap tools took byte offsets the model
counted itself; on the Claude lane three of eight utterances came through
cut mid-word and one empty span reached invocation as a non-canonical
utterance and quarantined its cell. Both tools now take `source_quote`; the
harness locates the quote in the preserved prose and derives the span. A
quote not in the prose, empty, or padded is a translation gap at capture.
The invariant is unchanged: only words in the prose become speech.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The first SDK-backed seeded runs. Run 1 refused both seed sessions: the
sidecar's schema conversion dropped every field description, `due` was an
undescribed integer against a clock the model never saw, and the subject
tool did not say a grant is required. Run 2 seeded six people in one round
and ticked three times.
A refusal used to reopen the session with an empty draft and a prompt that
named sites from a draft the model could no longer see. It now continues
the same conversation: `Refusal { after_round, mismatches }` on both
authoring checkpoints (controller_work.v12), the refusal as the next user
turn, and the draft rebuilt by one DraftFold shared by evaluator and oracle
from the calls after it. The harness takes the connector only when its
address is set, so an all-claude run needs none.
