79206dfce7 Carry the road's rules from the seeded live smoke
The seeded smoke passed on the twelfth run: six persons authored into
Low Sere from the Kalsa vault in one round, the deficit to zero, nine
subjects and six boundaries at activation, eight cells per tick, the
seeded people speaking to each other. Each earlier failure became a rule
in the tree: strict function schemas (anyOf, typed tags) with an offline
totality test over both authoring lanes; a content-addressed provider
request identity so repair rounds do not collide with the connector's
replay record; the connector's expiry skew separated from the response
read timeout; the seed lane's own round budget with parallel tool calls
and a budget-end submit; canonical ids and the placement rule in the
brief; the commitment shape rule in its tool description; inference
faults and cell outcomes logged where the operator can read them; and a
harness that fails on an empty seed or a silent world.

b7042f16df Record the seed producer and close its Soul follow-ups
Docs describe the seed lane as landed: scale intent at creation, the
phase-free qualification with the Draft refusal in one owner, the owner
port bound to the Draft revision, the Vault reader's containment and
caps, obligations as the source of boundaries, evidence lifetime at
ingress. The session-zero and compiler language leaves the eve-native,
multiplayer, Delvehold, and mvp docs; plan step 8 is landed; the smoke
note's run block targets Kalsa Public at Low Sere. Steward folded the
boundary and cut the stale drift warning.

491b06e9b0 Land the six seed-lane Soul follow-ups
Vault: collect_notes canonicalizes every directory and note against the
vault's canonical root during the walk and refuses to descend into a
reparse-point directory entry, closing the junction escape. VaultError
no longer carries an absolute filesystem path: Root names no path and
Scope carries only the caller-supplied scope string. The link-fanout
receipt cap is now checked per receipt, not per link.

Mailbox: SeedPort::submit_seed takes its own snapshot at submission
time, refuses anything off Draft with KernelError::WrongPhase, and
binds expected_revision to that fresh snapshot instead of a caller-
supplied one — closing the window between a runner's initial Draft
check and a multi-round session's eventual submit. submit_principal
refuses evidence whose valid_until has passed, read at the mailbox
ingress boundary rather than in a reduce arm.

App session: VerifiedPrincipalEvidence carries valid_until, minted from
the session's own access_expires_at, so a long-lived SeedPort cannot
hold authority past the session that vouched for it.

Elaboration: SEED_INSTRUCTIONS now requires an obligation with a
counterparty from every authored subject, since a goal alone derives no
MissingStructure boundary; the goals-only reproducer stays as a live
test of that structural fact.

Controllers: updated the two require_answer/phase tests and the two
seed-lane spec tests whose expectations changed now that submit_seed
owns its own phase gate ahead of require_answer.

334 world / 379 crate baseline with 5 FALSIFIED reproducers ignored is
now 385 crate tests passing (2 unrelated live-infra ignores remain), no
FALSIFIED ignore left, fmt clean.

697ed07081 Falsify the seed lane: five reproducers, eight bounds
Soul's pass over the seed producer. Tests only.

Five claims fail and are committed as ignored reproducers, each
naming its defect in the ignore reason:

- `collect_notes` follows a directory junction out of the vault
  root, and `strip_prefix` then dresses the escaped note in a
  vault-relative reference.
- `VaultError::Root` carries the server's absolute path into the
  owner's command receipt.
- `require_answer`'s `declares` reads declarations and evidence and
  not operations, so an operations-only patch passes the Active gate
  through `submit_seed`. The runner's phase check is the only gate,
  not the first of two.
- A `Goal` derives no boundary, so a world seeded to full strength
  out of goals alone activates with nothing for the elaborator.
- The mailbox never re-verifies principal evidence: a revoked
  session's evidence still commits as the owner.

Eight bounds hold and are asserted: an oversized note is never read
and the reader never writes, the receipt cap survives the link
fanout, `require_answer` still owns both phase rules, a session that
never submits stops at the shared round budget and its row stays a
fixed point, one derived id commits once, two landed sessions hold
two ids, `valid_seed_progression` refuses every backward transition,
and the custody probe counts a seed row.

e73ef5c8f8 Prove the seed lane, and make an unadvertised operation impossible to ship
Eighteen checks. The ones that matter most: an operation the panel emits but
`operation_schema` does not name now fails a test rather than dying silently at
validation — that test fails on the parent commit because of
`world.advance_time`, which is why the schema gap was cut first. A v1 create
payload is refused at validation and a v2 payload missing its scale target is a
payload error; neither defaults, and neither creates a world.

The lane: one session commits one Draft patch whose subjects have controllers,
grants, positions, and goals, and a port built on anyone else's evidence is
`Unauthorized` — the owner is the author, and that is the reducer's rule and
not a convention. The deficit falls 6, 4, 2, 0 across a sweep and the fourth
step spends no inference; a commit that does not lower its row returns
`NoProgress` and stops rather than spinning. An Active world refuses the runner
before inference and refuses the port afterwards with `AnswerRequired`. A
citation the Vault did not return is dropped by `filter_evidence` and the
canonical fact naming it is refused; the same fact citing a retrieved reference
commits. A rejection reopens one derived command id with the kernel's complete
mismatch set and a fresh runner resumes it. A v9 row is refused at open beside
the pinned v8 and v7 refusals, and cross-lane writes conflict.

End to end: a two-root world is created, seeded to zero deficit, approved,
activated, elaborated against the boundaries the seed manufactured, ticked, and
replayed from its journal to the same state digest.

The Vault reader is tested with no kernel at all: references are vault-relative
paths, all three wikilink forms resolve to one note, an ambiguous stem takes the
shortest path, and `..`, an absolute scope, and a symlink out are refused at
open.

The ignored live smoke now seeds from a real Vault before it ticks. Its log is
still the deliverable, and it gains the per-round deficit and the subjects that
qualified.

681f7063b1 Cut the phase clause and the fixed genesis, then land the Draft seed lane
The deletion line first. `world.advance_time` was emitted by the panel and
handled by `execute_world` but absent from `operation_schema`, so every
invocation died at validation; it is named now. `qualifies` loses its
`phase == Active` clause: `require_answer` already owns the Draft-answer
refusal, so the clause protected nothing and only pinned a Draft world's
deficit at the authored intent forever. `WorldScaleIntentRef::default()` and
the comment claiming world ingress authors no scale target are gone, along
with `world_create.v1` and `controller_work.v9`; `build_prompt`'s inlined
evidence/mismatch/tools tail collapses into one `prompt_body` owner.

Then the lane. `world_create.v2` carries a scale target and its jurisdiction
roots, which genesis declares beside the commons so `resolve_patch` can
resolve them. `SeedPort` reads a snapshot and commits one unanswered Draft
patch as `CallerId::Principal(owner)` — it has no approve, no activate, no
clock, no operator log, because those are not methods on the type. `SeedRunner`
is `ElaborationRunner`'s eleven stages with four substitutions: the phase gate,
the row selection, the identity namespace, and the submit port. It shares the
round loop, the tool application, the evidence filter, the cap check, and the
repair prompt verbatim. `world/vault.rs` is a read-only markdown reader over a
configured root: no network, no git, no vault name in core, and a spoiler tier
is a directory and therefore a query scope.

Termination is derived: the Draft deficit falls as seed patches land, so the
runner keeps no counter and a commit that does not lower its row is a fixed
point rather than a retry. `ApproveDraft` and `ActivateWorld` remain the only
path to Active.

answer variant is marked representable but uninhabited. Steward folded

842b5af4ee Record pass 10 and close step 6 of the plan
The consumer-api doc is the live contract for the landed ingress; the
ontology's Current mechanism runs through pass 10 and its follow-ups;
the mvp doc names the live authority answer; the plan's step 6 is
complete with the outbound consumer response as the next seam; the map
and handoff carry the series-complete state, the world-v3 generation,
and the decisions the operator owns; one evidence record distils the
ten passes.

8173c9cb77 Close the pass-10 Soul follow-ups: id-bump, fatal credentials, redaction, evidence cap, named refusals
- Bump controller_work to v9 so a checkpoint from before the
  session_command_id derivation change refuses to open, and document why
  no migration exists.
- Make a malformed GHOSTLIGHT_CONSUMER_CREDENTIALS file fail startup
  instead of warning into an empty registry.
- Redact ConsumerPatchDocument's secret from its Debug impl.
- Route the elaboration lane's draft through the same check_patch_caps
  the consumer ingress uses, closing the unenforced MAX_PATCH_EVIDENCE gap.
- Give the three item-cap refusals their own ConsumerRefusal variants
  instead of flattening them into TooLarge.
- Delete journal_replay_refuses_a_forged_consumer_row, now covered by
  soul_a_forged_decision_event_on_a_mirror_is_refused_at_replay.

a1fd64513f Falsify the consumer ingress at the gates the pass named
Soul, pass 10. Nine tests, no production change.

Two claimed proofs were not proofs. `journal_replay_refuses_a_forged_consumer_row`
guards its whole first assertion behind `if let Some(event) = state.events.first()`
and the mirror fixture commits no decision, so that half never ran; it now runs
under a committed decision. The deficit half of the boundary test lands on
`AnswerNotDerived` because its fixture names no scale intent, so the answer rule
refuses before the ground rule is consulted; a scale-intent fixture derives a real
deficit and proves `Unauthorized`.

`session_command_id` moved to `CommandId::derived` and the two spellings hash
different byte streams. The new test pins the fact: a session checkpointed before
this pass resumes under a different command id.

The rest: the byte cap ahead of serde, every ingress refusal shape against
snapshot equality and replay, the mirror re-scoped onto a real committed decision
at `apply_effect`, a mixed owner/elaborator/consumer history replayed to the same
world, the pass-9 state schema string refused by name, derived-key determinism and
part unambiguity, and the registry's error and Debug paths carrying no secret.

b4d1943585 Prove the consumer ingress at every gate it names
Twenty-three tests: the three Delvehold negative proofs (an ordinary
strategic wave cannot select an externally controlled mirror through
opportunities, adjacency, the cover, or a hand-built opportunity; a malformed,
oversize, stale, or structurally broken batch commits nothing; a consumer's
transfer into a Ghostlight subject is refused on the unbound endpoint while
the owner's identical transfer commits), the inbound-bytes-to-receipt run with
its journal replay, idempotent resubmission and key conflict, the capability
pairing, the confinement rows, the phase rule in both directions, the shared
decode bound, the transport gates on the new route, and replay equality with a
prior-schema store refused.

e0c6f9cb22 Widen the patch author to a confined external consumer
Cut first: the elaboration lane's two draft caps and its own sha256-to-uuid
command-id spelling, `jurisdiction_covers` and `confine_to_jurisdiction` as
jurisdiction-only names and signatures, the flat empty-affordance invariant,
and the two total controller accessors that were keeping a fictional
controller so a reader could stay infallible.

Then widen. `PatchGround` names what a confined author may write: a place
subtree, or every subject bound to one consumer, derived from
`controller_assignments` at decision time and never carried on the wire.
`SystemCapability::Consumer` is admitted for `AdmitPatch` and nothing else, in
the same closed pairing `reduce` decides and `apply_effect` re-decides.
`ControllerAssignment::ExternallyControlled` is a subject the world can see,
relate to, and reason about but never puppet: no controller id, no mode, no
affordance, no opportunity, no adjacency, and a forged history in which it
acted fails replay.

`patch::decode_patch` is the one decode owner for a `WorldPatch` from a byte
source, with one byte cap applied to the frame before `rmp_serde` sees it and
three item caps checked before `resolve_patch`; the elaboration lane reads the
same two item constants it used to own privately.

`world/consumer.rs` owns the ingress and no world truth: one typed document
over one loopback route, canonical MessagePack in and out, a registry that
holds only SHA-256 digests, one derived command key, one port method, one
atomic verdict. The state and commit schemas bump with the caller tag; prior
stores are refused.

962f7110e3 Close the intra-tick quarantine race: recheck after permit acquisition
Follow-up to the pass-9 follow-ups: deviation 2 flagged that
run_cover_tick's per-cell quarantine check only ran once, before a cell
contended for its permit, so a sibling already parked behind the permit
pool when another cell's fault raised the flag would still run once the
permit freed up. Add a second check right after permits.acquire(): with
the pool sized to one, the second cell cannot be granted the permit
until the first has fully returned, and for a faulting cell that means
the flag is already set by then, so the post-acquire check is
deterministic rather than a race. The top-of-function guard against a
later tick's cells stays as-is.

Renamed and extended
quarantine_raised_mid_tick_stops_every_later_tick_from_reaching_the_port
to quarantine_raised_mid_tick_stops_the_sibling_cell_and_every_later_tick:
same cross-tick assertion as before, plus permit pool 1 and an exact
(not >=1) count of one call in the first tick, proving the sibling cell
never reaches the port once the first cell's fault quarantines the
organ. Ran the new test 8x in isolation with no flakes.

world:: 281 passed, full crate 320 passed (unchanged counts — this
extends an existing test rather than adding one). cargo fmt -p

7aba2b4191 Cover the tick driver's permit gate, quarantine edge, and ordering
Pass 9 follow-ups 1-3 from Soul's review:

- Widen ControllerRunner::with_test_ports, InferencePort, and
  ControllerWorkStore to pub(crate) (still cfg(test)), plus the small
  cfg(test) seam needed to implement them outside world::controllers
  (fixture_prepared_inference, fixture_inference_output,
  InferenceFault::fixture_integrity_violation, and cfg(test) pub(crate)
  re-exports from world::mod). Two new runtime spec tests drive a real
  ControllerRunner over a counting/quarantining InferencePort and an
  in-memory ControllerWorkStore, proving the controller-permit semaphore
  never admits more concurrent run_cell calls than its pool, and that an
  integrity-violating fault quarantines the organ so no later tick's
  cells ever reach the port again.

- Extract drive_one_tick out of drive_cover_tick's loop body, narrowed
  the same way submit_clock_tick narrows the clock port: run_cover and
  submit_clock are opaque closures, never run_cover_tick or
  WorldMailbox::submit_clock by name. A new test drives it with a fake
  cover-runner over a real three-cell Cover (via a new cfg(test)
  fixture_controller_opportunities in world::mod) and a fake clock
  submitter, proving the clock is always submitted after every cell has
  run and that every cell in the tick carries the cover's one tick index.

- Delete cover.rs's merges_are_deterministic_in_subject_order: its name
  overclaimed determinism the test never checked. Its coverage-survives-
  a-permutation assertion was already proven by
  soul_b_the_cover_is_pure_and_the_attention_order_is_a_real_input; its
  other assertion (cell count is stable under permutation) was not, so
  that one assertion moved into soul_b's test instead of surviving under
  a misleading name.

Deviations from the literal brief, both load-bearing:

- Ruling 1 asked for "a cover of several cells" with
  GHOSTLIGHT_CONTROLLER_MAX_CONCURRENT = 2. The production world-create
  intent caps a genesis world at exactly two controller-bearing subjects
  (one narrative persona, one operational agent), so the real cover this
  test can derive tops out at two cells. Reusing that production ceiling
  meant not widening the kernel's private command types (CreateWorld,
  CallerId, CommandEnvelope) past what this pass already opens, which
  seemed like the more coherent boundary to hold. The permit pool is set
  to one instead of two so the cap is still load-bearing: with two cells
  and a pool of two, the assertion would be vacuously true.

- Ruling 1's second scenario wanted "the remaining cells are skipped"
  within one tick. Tracing run_cover_tick's per-cell task shows the
  quarantine check runs once, before a cell ever contends for its
  permit; every cell in one JoinSet is spawned and gets that check
  before any of them can reach the port and set the flag, so no cell of
  the *same* tick is ever actually skipped by it — only a cell of a
  *later* tick is, via run_cover_tick's own top-of-function guard. The
  test proves that real mechanism (a second tick makes zero further
  calls) rather than an intra-tick race the driver does not resolve,
  which would have been flaky either way it landed.

world:: 281 passed (baseline 282, minus the one deleted test).
Full crate 320 passed (baseline 318, minus one deleted plus three new).
cargo fmt -p ghostlight-dungeon -- --check is clean.

8aebfb6811 Falsify pass 9's cover, resume, and replay claims
Tests only. Ten additions across the two organs pass 9 landed.

world/cover.rs, pure over `derive_cover` with no kernel:
- the rotation guarantee at the design profile, not at a toy size: 2,400
  subjects, B=240, C=24, U=36 gives R=110 and the window closes in exactly
  ceil(2400/110)=22 ticks, and not in 21;
- urgency reads the attention order while the window reads ascending id
  order, proved on a fixture whose two rankings are reversed against each
  other, so no third ranking can explain the result;
- the cover is pure for identical inputs, and the attention order is a real
  input rather than an incidental one;
- every cell in one cover carries that cover's tick index;
- derived cell and constituent keys are collision-free across a full sweep
  of ticks;
- the cap yields when component shapes cannot pack inside the budget even
  though token capacity would allow it, and the flag tracks the partition
  rather than the subject count.

world/controllers.rs:
- an uncoupled grouped cell commits every constituent, which is what makes
  the coupled cell's refusal a fact about coupling instead of a per-cell
  quota or a moved world revision;
- the refused constituent's scope digest really did change;
- the other grouped checkpoint resumes: a retryable fault parks the row at
  AgentInFlight, and the resumed run re-derives the same constituent ids,
  infers once, and commits once;
- a grouped tick replays from genesis to an identical state digest and an
  identical event sequence.

f013c1d22f Trim the cover's unread surfaces and report the tick
Cut the accessors, fields, and re-exports the pass added without a live
consumer: `Cell::id`, `Cell::tick`, `Cell::resolution`, the grouped
capture's receipt vector, and the `CoverBudgetError` re-export. The
resolution a row records is derived from the row's own shape, and the
capture's receipts were a second copy of what its outputs already carry.

In exchange the tick driver now reads what it runs. One debug line per
coarse cell names the cell, its resolution, how many turns it offered,
how many committed, and how many gaps it produced. The gap between
offered and committed is the number that says a batch buys one
inference and never one admission rule.

71d8c536b0 Give the world a tick
Step 6 pass 9: the budgeted connected cover. Every active subject is in
the cover every tick; the budget decides at what resolution, never
whether. A singleton cell keeps the detail path and its membrane; a
grouped cell is one inference over N labeled, never-unioned constituent
views, each lowered into an ordinary one-opportunity submission verified
by its own opportunity. The kernel never sees a cell.

`world/cover.rs` owns the partition and nothing else: pure over
(world, now, opportunities, agency graph, budget), disposable, dropped at
end of tick. The fairness guarantee is arithmetic over the clock and a
total subject order rather than a second persisted memory. Adjacency is a
kernel-side projection wider than any subject view, reachable from the
tick driver and from no prompt builder.

Cut before adding: the runner's exclusive mutex and its three lock sites,
`controller_slot.take()` as the quarantine mechanism, `select`'s equation
between representation and controller mode, and pass 7's standalone
`advance_world_clock` task, which `drive_cover_tick` absorbs so one owner
holds the tick's cadence.

b5443d55ea Close pass 8's five Soul follow-ups
- variant_content now spells a payload-less branch, so an effect slot's
  bounds schema offers `none` alongside `quantity` and `cost` and a world
  author can declare an unbounded slot. The falsifying test is inverted
  and renamed.
- composite_example is now a projection of composite_schema, walked
  generically (first branch of every sum, minimum of every bounded
  integer, a fixed canonical string, an empty list where allowed)
  instead of a hand-written third spelling. The round-trip test checks
  every schema-derived example against serde directly, so the standalone
  tie test pinning the one known disagreement is redundant and deleted.
- The mod.rs test claiming to refuse a forged elaborator row never forged
  anything; journal.rs already carries a real version that rewrites the
  recorded caller and re-seals the commit digest. Deleted the duplicate
  with the lying name.
- Added every_declaration()/every_component_op(), each built from an
  exhaustive match over their enum that fails to compile on a new
  variant, and a test proving every exemplar is accepted by exactly one
  PATCH_TOOLS entry with counts matching the catalog (7, 28, 37) — a new
  variant can no longer ship by mapping onto an existing tool.
- Removed the dead-code-only assert_declarations_exhaustive/
  assert_operations_exhaustive helpers and their unfulfilled
  #[expect(dead_code)]; their logic now lives in the exemplar builders
  above and is actually exercised.

2252370af3 Let the world grow its own structure
Pass 8: the in-kernel elaborator loop, the Elaborator caller, and the
derived patch-tool catalog.

`SystemCapability` becomes internally tagged and gains
`Elaborator { jurisdiction }`. `require_patch_author` decides who may
`AdmitPatch` and returns the caller's confinement;
`confine_to_jurisdiction` decides what that caller may write. Both are
called from `reduce`'s arm and re-called from `apply_effect`'s, so replay
re-decides authority for free. `require_owner` leaves the `AdmitPatch`
path and survives for `ApproveDraft` and `ActivateWorld`.

Boundaries are covered transitively through `covers_place`; deficits are
covered by exact key equality, because a subject under nested roots counts
toward both roots' targets and a parent answering a child's row would
reduce two targets with one subject.

`patch.rs` gains `PATCH_TOOLS` and its two generators: the tool surface is
the variants a non-genesis patch may carry, with every always-refused
choice removed rather than exposed. `world/tool_schema.rs` is the one
emitter for every model-facing schema in the tree; the interpreter and
action catalogs move onto it and their `json!` literals are deleted.

`world/elaboration.rs` owns the loop: it selects a derived answer,
retrieves evidence, accumulates a draft across tool calls, submits through
`WorldMailbox::submit_elaboration`, and repairs the same draft from the
complete mismatch set. The draft is re-derived from persisted inference
outputs; only `last_mismatches` is stored, because it came from the kernel
rather than the model. Session identity is derived from the answer's
digest, so a crashed loop resumes the same store row.

Schemas bump to `elaboration.v1` and `controller_work.v7`; a prior store
is refused.

  serde-transparent forgery gap. Inverted and renamed the falsification test
  to soul_a_zero_period_is_refused_by_the_shape_check.
- Extracted advance_world_clock's per-tick body into submit_clock_tick, a
  narrow port over submit_clock, and added a test that captures the
  submitted span without driving tokio's timer.
- Removed the dead top-level PreconditionRef/PressureSourceRef imports in
  world/mod.rs; clock_tests keeps its own.
- Renamed JurisdictionKey::Unplaced to Uncovered and fixed the scale deficit
  to count a positioned subject under no jurisdiction root in that row
  instead of dropping it, with a test asserting the row counts sum to the
  subject count.

Twenty-two tests over the pass-7 surface: the tick's three stages and its
re-derivation at apply and at replay, the clock capability's single admitted
body, every commitment shape check as one complete sorted set, the attention
order's totality and its refusal to filter, boundary derivation and the

subjects reduce.

Two defects the tests found and this commit fixes: PressureSource mixed struct
and newtype variants under an internal tag, which cannot serialize a scalar
newtype, so it is adjacently tagged; and Motion carried an is_empty no caller
outside a test used.

- audience() no longer folds a channel's controller into its own
  audience: a controller may still can_broadcast() from outside its
  reach, but it gains no fan-out knowledge and is not a CanReach target
  unless it actually stands inside the declared reach.
- Correct the "one home" doc claims: the statement lives in
  facts[fact].statement (the readable home) and is duplicated inside
  the committed AssertClaim effect as a replay witness only; no
  projection reads the event copy.
- ControllerRunner now holds a narrow ControllerPort instead of a whole
  WorldMailbox, forwarding exactly the five requests a controller lane
  makes. operator_log has no method on that type, so it is a compile-time
  boundary rather than a pub(crate) convention.
- Document why resolve_patch's candidate knowledge map safely skips
  modeling Communicate's fan-out (AuthoredSource has no Told variant),
  and pin that invariant with a test on the one ComponentOpKind lowering
  site that could otherwise drift.
- Add a test proving a stale controller_work.v4 row is refused at open.
- Length-prefix derive_id's discriminator so Some("") and None (and any
  other handle/discriminator split) cannot collide; derived IDs change
  as a result, which the v5 schema bump already requires callers to

cb6a126025 Soul pass 6: falsify knowledge, channels, and speech fan-out
Nine test-only additions in world::soul_knowledge_tests. Two pin behaviour
that differs from the specified shape rather than endorsing it:

- a channel's controller is folded into `audience` itself, so it receives
  every telling on its own channel even when standing outside the declared
  reach;
- the utterance is stored twice, in `facts[fact].statement` and again in the
  committed event's own `AssertClaim` effect.

The rest confirm the gates: every speech precondition rejects at `exercise`
with the whole state byte-identical, a forged wider audience or appended
telling dies in `apply_effect`, an unheard utterance moves no scope digest
including the speaker's, the same-patch telling-then-forget asymmetry is
fail-closed only, an orphan claim is a Draft shape unreachable in Active,
replay is exact across all six new arms twice over, and `operator_log` is
unscoped by construction.

b8ff18282e Give the world Knowledge, Channels, and Fact standing
Speech stops being a broadcast event everyone can read and becomes a typed
claim that some subjects hold. Three partitions carry it: `facts` (one row per
`EntityKind::Fact`, write-once), `channels` (one row per `EntityKind::Channel`),
and `knowledge`, which is the sole owner of who-heard-what.

`state.events` is demoted from perception surface to causal record. The events
log records what was done; the knowledge partition decides what a subject may
act on and what its projection may contain. `WorldSnapshot.events` is deleted
outright, so `controllers.rs` structurally cannot read an unscoped log; the
human operator's story feed moves to `WorldKernel::operator_log`, reached
through its own mailbox request and passed to `eve::authenticated_surface`
beside the snapshot.

Two pure functions state reach and nothing else does: `audience` (who is in
earshot) and `fan_out` (who gains knowledge from one telling). Co-location is
the actor's exact place; a channel's `Reach::Place` is the subtree, through the
same `covers_place` walk a jurisdiction uses. A telling never overwrites a
holder and `Believed` is fixed by the kernel, so no speaker owns another
subject's credence.

The kernel Speak entry gains its real shape: one `CanBroadcast` precondition, so
an unplaced subject fails with `NoAudience` rather than being heard by everyone.
A `carries_speech` entry must name exactly one audience, and `exercise` prepends
two kernel-owned operations no slot or band can influence: `AssertClaim` mints
the fact, `Communicate` fans it out. That makes `action::exercise` the second
`derive_id` call site; the "only `admit_resolved` allocates" rule is rewritten
rather than amended.

The kernel does not compare two statements. There is no dedup, no interning, no
contradiction check, and no similarity. Deception is a `Claimed` fact standing
beside its asserter's own knowledge of a different one, and the meaning of that
gap belongs to a reader.

`STATE_SCHEMA`/`COMMIT_SCHEMA` become `.knowledge.v1` and the controller work
schema moves to v5; a pre-pass store is refused with no migration path.

65ee2be41a Soul pass-5 follow-ups: overlap admission, revoke envelope, deploy coverage
Adds an admission-time check in GrantAuthority resolution that rejects a
Subject grant nested inside a same-kind PlaceSubtree grant the holder
already has, and the reverse, using the live covering predicate. This is
admission-only: targets_overlap and verify_state_shape stay structural and
position-independent, and a later Relocate that creates the same nesting
is never re-derived as a violation.

Extends the action lane's check_delegation to gate RevokeAuthority slots
by the same monotonicity envelope it already applies to GrantAuthority:
an actor may not strip authority it does not itself hold. Adds a fixture
"revoke" affordance to exercise both the covering and non-covering cases.

Adds an end-to-end test for the fixture's "deploy" affordance (Relocate
lowering) plus its precondition's negative case.

Updates the two existing tests whose assumptions depended on the old gap
(a Subject grant silently nesting inside a PlaceSubtree grant) to assert
the new rejection instead.

dbe176d58b Soul: falsify the pass-5 civic gates
Seven tests, no production change. Each one asks whether a claim fails at
the gate the spec names rather than somewhere downstream that happens to
catch it.

`DelegationNotMonotone` now has a test that walks `submit`, not the
`draw_once` bench, and asserts the refused act moved no revision, no
grant, and no event. The `Restricted` rule is exercised at
`apply_operations` with a forged `ResolvedOp` that skipped the resolver,
which is the only lane the existing test did not cover. The rebind
requirement is asserted at the layer an operator sees it: a revocation on
the granter refuses the incumbent's already-bound proposal with
`ScopeChanged`, at the current revision, so nothing but the stale scope
digest can be doing the refusing. `reduce` is shown pure across every new
civic arm and equal to what the commit stored.

Two tests pin decisions the spec did not make. Structural overlap cannot
be decayed by a `Relocate`, and the store survives one; but it also does
not see a `Subject` grant sitting inside a `PlaceSubtree` grant of the
same kind, so one subject can hold two sources of one permission and
revoking the wider one leaves the act standing through the narrower. A
destination declared in the same patch as the restricted route into it is
covered by no grant, so a genesis patch cannot declare a room and walk
anyone into it in one batch.

fa3d95dca9 Give the world an Authority, Selection, and Redress subgraph
A subject stops being able to do anything to anyone it can name, and starts
needing a jurisdiction that covers the target: held directly, or lent to it
by an institution through an office it occupies.

Three partitions on `WorldState`, written only by `apply_operation` and
validated only by `resolve_patch`: `authority` maps a subject to grants of a
world-declared kind over a subject or a place subtree, `selection` maps an
institution to its offices and their incumbents, and `redress` maps a
grievance kind to a forum and its standing. Eight `ComponentOp` variants
reach them through the existing `AdmitPatch` lane, and four
payload-carrying `ComponentOpKind` variants reach them from an affordance's
effect slots.

One covering predicate, `covers`, answers every jurisdictional question:
`Precondition::Authorized`, `Precondition::HasStanding`, the delegation
monotonicity rule, `route_admits`, and the snapshot's redress projection.
`AccessKind::Restricted` now names the authority kind that opens the route,
so a restricted route admits exactly the subject holding that kind over its
destination — checked identically by `resolve_patch`'s `Relocate` arm, by
`apply_operation`'s, and by `Reachable`'s edge admission.

An office's delegated grants are copied into its incumbent's
`ScopeComponents`, so one scope digest covers the grant, the office, and the
institution's jurisdiction: revocation, reconstitution, installation, and
vacancy are all rebinds. What the actor reaches stays out, so a target that
walks out of a jurisdiction fails at `Authorized` instead.

`OverlappingJurisdiction` makes it impossible for one subject to hold two
grants of one kind over overlapping ground, so nothing ever arbitrates
between two sources of one permission; overlap between subjects is layered
government and stays legal. The reserved `actor` role binds the acting
subject, which is what makes a levy's payee unforgeable.

Six world-authored fixture entries — levy, delegate, deploy, sanction,
appoint, petition — are the worked examples. No decree and no contract:
their effect is `Commitment`, and without it either lowers to speech in an
institution's coat.

Schema moves to `ghostlight.world_state.authority.v1`; a previous store is
refused with no migration adapter.

0f21a4900c Soul: falsify pass-4 bands, the shared catalog id, and journal-side forgery
Four test-only additions, plus one two-slot fixture entry:

- `soul_only_the_selected_bands_effects_are_committed` closes verification
  contract 10's discriminating case. The existing tests prove an empty band
  commits nothing and a one-slot entry lowers what it declares; neither
  separates a slot the proposer offered from a slot the draw admitted. The new
  `carry_split` entry declares two slots on disjoint bands, both proposed
  within ceiling, and each band is reached by searching for a command id
  before the envelope is built rather than by retrying commits.
- `soul_a_forged_band_or_effect_in_the_journal_dies_at_replay` names the layer.
  `verify_state_shape` bounds a band index and refuses effects under an empty
  band; it does not re-derive the draw. The forgery is re-digested into a
  contiguous chain and dies at `apply_committed_command`'s effect equality.
- `soul_a_shared_catalog_id_is_gated_by_the_scope_grant` pins that an
  affordance id names a catalog entry every grantee shares, so grant
  membership per scope is what gates: the same `convene` id commits for its
  grantee and is denied for a controller-driven scope that does not hold it.
- `soul_a_stored_role_spec_over_an_optional_subject_kind_round_trips` proves
  the adjacently tagged `RefKind` survives the `to_vec_named` path that a
  stored `RoleSpec { kind: Subject(None) }` writes through.

f9cd0177e7 Affordances become world-authored catalog entries with preconditions, ceilings, and bands
An action stops being an enum the kernel understands and becomes a lookup into
world-authored data: preconditions over live state, magnitudes under declared
ceilings, one deterministic band, lowered into the same ResolvedOps the patch
path already applies.

Cut first, with no compatibility path: DecisionAction and its kind(),
AffordanceKind, the AffordanceGrant struct and the (scope, kind) uniqueness
scan, affordance_slug, validated_invocation and its three call sites,
KernelError::EmptySpeech and ::AffordanceMismatch, the seven-clause equality
chain in apply_effect's DecisionExercised arm, the grant-kind comparison in
replay, speak_invocation's parallel constructor, and all three hand-written
claims about what a subject may do (the available_tools prose, the
operational_tools schemas, and the typed view's speak permission literal).

WorldState gains affordance_catalog, the sole store of what an affordance is,
written only by admit_resolved from a resolved patch and validated only by
resolve_patch. affordance_grants collapses to a set per scope, so a duplicate
grant is unrepresentable rather than checked and derive_opportunities is a map
lookup. Declaration::Affordance authors an entry; a subject grants entries by
reference, so one genesis patch declares a catalog and grants from it
atomically. Speak is the kernel-built entry under an ordinary draft handle:
zero preconditions, zero slots, one empty band, one utterance.

world/action.rs owns the pipeline behind one entry point, exercise(), called
from both reduce and apply_effect so a forged effect is re-derived by the
function that produced the honest one. It binds roles, evaluates Present,
Reachable, and Holds, checks every slot against its ceiling, draws one band
through the existing digest() owner over a named BandPreimage, lowers the
selected band's slots through the bindings, and admits them through the same
resolver. Effects ride on the event and apply through apply_operations, so an
affordance's Transfer meets the same conservation equation as a declaration.
ActionMismatch is a sibling of Mismatch, complete, sorted, and never
serialized; it surfaces as KernelError::ActionRejected.

Binding and admission are two checks, not one. Binding is scope-digest
equality, and the digest now reads the granted entries' definitions. Admission
runs at commit against live state, so a route closing mid-flight is
TargetUnreachable rather than ScopeChanged, and a proposal is not invalidated
by distant traffic.

The OperationalAgent tool catalog, its prose signature line, and the typed
view's permission block are three projections of the granted entries, naming
affordance kinds and role parameters and never an affordance id.

State, commit, and controller-work schemas bump; a pre-pass store is refused.
