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.

Nothing an agent loads in this repo said Ghostlight Dungeon ships to Linux
on Yggdrasil, so a Windows workstation build looked like reasonable
verification. Record the target, the fact that Idunn builds the release in
pinned Linux containers, and what a local compile is and is not evidence
for.

44 records to 12: supersession chains collapsed to their survivors,
per-commit receipts folded into the decision they served, standing
pre-rebuild decisions merged into one record map.yaml already owns. Every
removed record is archived verbatim. `compact-evidence` is now the one
durable deletion path; the status tool reads folded scalars, and the
compaction helper imports the map readers instead of carrying copies.

The existing rule said evidence.jsonl is an export surface rather than the
direct-write API, which is true but understates the failure. A hand edit does
not fail loudly; it survives until the next add-evidence regenerates the file
from the CultCache evidence document and restores whatever was removed.
An agent compacting the ledger would see a clean result, commit it, and have
it silently undone by the next append. Say so where the rule already lives,
since AGENTS.md is read before anyone reaches the store.
