+                    GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 19 November 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.
+
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
+get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
+of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
+specific requirements.
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see

+//! in the shape the protocol promises.

+//! A pool of embedder endpoints serving one model, as one `Embedder`.
+//!
+//! The endpoints are two tiers. The primaries (the GPU hosts) all take work at
+//! once: a batch is cut into contiguous pieces, one per healthy primary, and
+//! the pieces are embedded concurrently and joined back in order. The reserve
+//! (the CPU host) takes work only while no primary is healthy. An endpoint is
+//! admitted only after its model identity (name, digest, dimensions) equals the
+//! pool's; one that is unreachable, failing or serving another model drops out,
+//! is named in the log, is never written with, and is read again once
+//! `retry_after` has passed. A piece that fails on one endpoint is embedded
+//! again on another, so a batch fails only when no endpoint is left to take it.
+//!
+//! The model of the pool is the one the collection was built with: the caller
+//! hands it over with `built_under` before it reads the identity, and an
+//! endpoint serving anything else never takes work, even when it is the only
+//! one up, so a run cannot rebuild an index around a foreign model. Only when
+//! there is no collection yet does the pool adopt a model: the first one
+//! reported in list order, primaries first, once every endpoint has answered.
+//!
+//! An endpoint's identity is read off the batch's clock. Each read runs on its
+//! own thread under `IDENTITY_WITHIN`, and a batch waits for the reads only
+//! while no healthy primary exists to start on: a primary being read keeps the
+//! reserve waiting, so a returning GPU is used and not passed over for the CPU,
+//! but an endpoint that drops packets never delays work a healthy one can do.

+//! The source index: the public GameCult forge repos' code and docs as chunks

+//!
+//! Two truths, one writer. The forge is the truth of which repos exist and what
+//! they hold; the collection is derived from it and can be deleted whenever.
+//! `refresh` is the only writer of the collection, run by the `huginn-sources`
+//! oneshot job: first build, incremental refresh, rebuild after a model or
+//! chunker change, and retirement are all the one routine (delete by filter,
+//! ingest at a commit, rewrite the cursors). The daemon only reads: `search`
+//! is its whole part, and nothing in `serve` or the worker calls a write.
+//!
+//! A cursor is the commit whose chunks the collection holds for a repo. It
+//! lives in the collection's own metadata, so it is lost with the collection
+//! and the two cannot disagree about what is held. It is advanced only after
+//! the repo's deletes and upserts are acknowledged: it may lag and never leads.
+//! It is dropped before the repo's first delete, so a run that fails between
+//! the delete and the upserts leaves no cursor, and the repo is ingested whole.
+//! The cursors object is written whole by this job alone, once per repo.

+# (`heartbeat`, the `mind-heartbeat` binary) runs the shared heartbeat over them. The actuator
+# (`self_run`, the `mind-self-run` binary) carries her one open Self run.
+#
+# The Persona organ (`persona`, the `mind-persona` binary) drains her pending chat
+# through ports. The connector transport is ModelConnector's kit client, pinned to
+# the kit's revision (`connector`); the chat transport is cultnet-rs's RUDP client
+# to Bifrost's mouth (`chat_rudp`). `rmp-serde` is the chat documents' positional
+# MessagePack codec (`chat_client`); `sha2` derives the mouth's connection id from
+# the chat credential. The kit pins its own CultLib revision, so the graph holds
+# two until the workspace pin and the kit's meet.
+# `rmp-serde` is also the lease wire (`lease_client`): the connector's MessagePack frames.
+#
+# `serde_json` reads Claude Code's stream-json, a foreign owner's wire (`self_run`);

+# mind-body
+
+The Mind's body: the control store, the launch primitive, the `mind-heartbeat`
+timeline and the `mind-self-run` actuator.
+
+`mind-self-run --instance <slug> [--endpoint rudp://<ip>:<port>]` runs inside
+`mind-self@<instance>`. It finds her one open Self run, starts `claude` over
+stream-json with a fixed argument list, asks for the flush once at the context
+ceiling and stops a child that outlives the flush (SIGINT, then SIGTERM and SIGKILL). It exits 0 when the child exited 0, 1
+otherwise, 3 when she has no single open Self run and 2 when the arguments are
+wrong or the mind cannot be reached.
+
+## The heartbeat
+
+`mind-heartbeat` is the one process that decides who wakes and when: each beat falls when the Minds' voted tempo has passed and goes to the Mind that has waited longest, bent by the urgency she declares and a member addressing her; the operator tagging or naming a Persona launches her at once. `mind-heartbeat timeline` prints its latest record.
+
+The actuator has its own ignored test, `the_real_bin_finds_her_run_...` in
+`tests/self_run.rs`: the real `mind-self-run` against the real daemon with a
+fake `claude` first on `PATH`. It needs the daemon built beside the binary and a
+POSIX shell, not root:
+
+```sh
+cargo build -p huginn-daemon -p mind-body --all-targets   && cargo test -p mind-body --test self_run -- --include-ignored
+```
+
+Mutation testing of the actuator, with the globs that reach the library and the
+binary: `cargo mutants -p mind-body -f "**/src/self_run.rs" -f
+"**/src/bin/mind-self-run.rs"`. The binary's mutants are killed only by the
+lane above.

+//! positional MessagePack tuple; the mouth answers a pending request with a
+//! pending document and a send with a receipt, and answers an ack with nothing.
+//! A request it rejects (another Persona's name, a malformed tuple) gets no
+//! answer either, so every wait here is bounded by `reply_timeout`.
+//!

+//! `Released` carries a `Grant`, the only value that opens a launch: it cannot
+//! be built outside this module, so a launch exists only as the reading of a
+//! released instance brake and a released swarm brake. The Grant names the
+//! instance whose store was read and carries nothing else: no money, no cap. The store is at a fixed place, `CONTROL_ROOT`,
+//! and the one reader takes the instance only: no function, argument, variable
+//! or flag lets a caller choose a root, a path or a source, so a Grant is the
+//! proof that this instance's own root-owned store released. Only a
+//! `#[cfg(test)]` override inside this crate moves the root.
+//!
+//! State is a CultCache single-file store at
+//! `/etc/gamecult/minds/<instance>/control.cc`, root-owned and world-readable.
+//! The operator's CLI replaces a document whole; every organ that acts calls
+//! `read_effective` before the consequence and takes its answer as given. Who wakes and when is the
+//! heartbeat's.
+//!
+//! Fail closed: the reader's only route to `Released` is a decodable instance
+//! store holding a released brake and a released swarm envelope. Anything else
+//! (no file, no brake, a held brake, bytes that do not decode, a store
+//! holding any document but a brake, a file that cannot be read) is `Held`, with the reason.
+//!
+//! The reader opens the file read-only through CultCache's read-only snapshot
+//! door: it takes no lock and creates no sibling file, so the units she runs as
+//! need no write authority anywhere under `/etc`. Writing is the operator's;
+//! the filesystem is the authority. The writer only refuses to write through an
+//! existing directory, lock or store that is not root's or that group or world
+//! can write (`UnsafeStore`); it checks no caller identity.
+//!
+//! The swarm has one more store of the same kind, `CONTROL_ROOT/swarm.cc`: a
+//! file beside the instance directories, so no instance name reaches it. It
+//! holds the swarm's brake and nothing else: a store still holding a swarm dial
+//! or a share from the dollar-metering days reads `Held(Undecodable)` and is

+//! The heartbeat: the one process that decides which Persona takes a turn and
+//! when (rulings `eureka-body:ruling:shared-heartbeat-joint-lever`,
+//! `self-declared-urgency-etiquette`, `operator-mention-fills-initiative`).
+//!
+//! The Minds share one heartbeat and jointly hold the lever to it. Its tempo is
+//! `tempo::tally` of every Mind's newest vote, a `Pulse` in her own mind. When a
+//! beat falls (the beat has passed since the last one) exactly one Persona takes
+//! a turn: `tempo::pick` over the idle, released Minds, by how long each has
+//! waited, bent by the urgency she declared for herself, a member addressing her
+//! and (a later cut) topics she subscribed to. Two things launch a Persona off
+//! the beat: the operator tagging or naming her, once per message, and her own
+//! Self run having ended since her last turn. A beat's launch for a Mind whose
+//! Self holds briefs (`inbox::derive`) is a Self run claiming them, in place of
+//! her Persona turn: a session that ended with a brief open, or a brief admitted
+//! after its flush, is never an orphan, and a Self start takes the beat like any
+//! launch. A brief an open question holds (raised in it, or in a run that claims it:
+//! the repetition breaker's trip holds the claims of the run it belongs to) is
+//! neither claimed nor told until that question is answered or withdrawn; other
+//! briefs are. Nothing is metered here:
+//! no meter and no model call.
+//!
+//! The heartbeat owns `heartbeat.cc` and is its only writer; Persona units read
+//! it. The brakes stay the operator's and are read on every poll. Busy and idle
+//! are the slot's: a Persona run whose unit lives (or is within its start grace) is busy; a dead holder is not, and the next launch closes it. The launch is
+//! `open_and_launch`, the only opener. The heartbeat never acks a delivery; the
+//! Persona turn drains them.
+//!
+//! A held swarm brake ends the poll before the mind or the mouth is touched.

+# lease_v2 fixtures
+
+The exact bytes of the claude lease protocol v2: each file is one whole frame (a u32
+big-endian length, then the named-MessagePack map `{kind, value}`).
+
+- `request.bin`: `claude_lease_request`.
+- `refusal_unknown_caller.bin`, `refusal_expired.bin`, `refusal_busy.bin`,
+  `refusal_provider_rejected.bin`: `claude_lease_refusal`; `kind` is the variant name as a
+  PascalCase string.
+- `grant.bin`: `claude_lease_grant` with `lease_id` and `plan_quota` carrying `five_hour` and
+  `seven_day` windows (utilization_permille, resets_at_unix_ms, status, observed_at_unix_ms).
+  On the wire the grant travels with one SCM_RIGHTS fd; the file holds the frame only.
+
+Huginn's lease client vendors these files from this repository and tests against the same
+bytes. Generator: `tests/lease_wire_golden.rs`; run it with `LEASE_V2_REGENERATE=1`, then
+review the diff: a changed byte is a wire change.

+//! hand on them. The brakes are the operator's consent, not her body: the store
+//! is root-owned and no organ of hers writes it.
+//!
+//! `launch` and `queue` are the launch primitive: the work queue, the

+//! the `mind-heartbeat` binary, that decides who wakes and when, by the rule in
+//! `tempo` (the Minds' votes make the beat; the pick chooses who takes it).
+//!
+//! `persona` is the Persona organ: one start of `mind-persona@<instance>` carries her live
+//! `claude` session under bubblewrap in her sandbox, driven by the Self's own driver, with her
+//! pending chat as the inbox and one typed reply per result (`chat_client` is the chat wire and
+//! port and `chat_rudp` its RUDP transport to Bifrost's mouth).
+//!
+//! `lease_client` asks the Claude connector for a session's credential and the
+//! plan's usage windows. `self_run` carries one Self run inside `mind-self@<instance>`: the
+//! `mind-self-run` binary runs `claude` over stream-json for her one open Self
+//! run, asks for the flush at the context ceiling and stops a child that outlives it.

+//! What of her own mind enters a Persona turn besides what she is always shown, and in what words.
+//!
+//! Ruling `eureka-body:ruling:persona-memory-written-not-transcript`: what she
+//! must still know when the conversation is gone is written into her mind as
+//! typed memory, and a later turn reads it back from there. Open asks and open
+//! commitments are not recalled: `persona::render_responsibilities` shows them
+//! on every turn beside her stewardships, because they stay in front of her
+//! until a resolution closes them. This module owns the cued, ranked remainder
+//! and nothing else. It reads only her own mind through `MindPort`; it reads no
+//! chat (the lines shown beside a message are conversation, never memory),
+//! keeps no cache between turns, and holds no index: the daemon's index answers
+//! `MindPort::query_near`, and a rank only orders.
+//!
+//! Three lanes, merged in this order and de-duplicated by id, none showing an
+//! open item:
+//! - `about`: memory in force about any other sender of this batch, ranked by
+//!   `weight` from the newest `POOL` of them.
+//! - `relevant`: memory, follow-up and ruling in force nearest the batch's
+//!   words, in the daemon's order. A wake has no words and skips it.
+//! - `salient`: memory in force ranked by `weight` from the newest `POOL`.
+//!   On a wake, which has no senders and no words, this is all that runs.
+//!
+//! Each lane has an item limit and a byte budget, so no one signal crowds out
+//! another; a lane that leaves something out says how many.

+//! The Self-run actuator: one `claude` child carries her one open Self run.
+//!
+//! `carry` finds her run (the one in-force Self run operated by the mind, read
+//! through `launch::holders`: the run is the grant), starts `claude` with the
+//! fixed argument list, writes the start message and watches the child's
+//! stream-json output. It counts the main thread's requests, asks for the flush
+//! once when the context prefix reaches the ceiling (ruling
+//! `eureka-body:ruling:self-lifecycle-flush-rehydrate`: a Self run admits what
+//! the mind lacks and ends, it never summarises), and stops a child that outlives its flush: an interrupt
+//! after the grace, or once the requests of the flush's own turn have grown the
+//! prefix by the headroom beyond the prefix the flush was asked at (ruling
+//! `eureka-body:ruling:flush-always-gets-a-turn`), then SIGTERM and SIGKILL if
+//! the child ignores that. Signals go to the child's process group.
+//!
+//! One run is one live session (ruling `eureka-body:ruling:live-mind-sessions`).
+//! A result ends a turn, not the session. What her Self is asked is derived from
+//! her mind (the `inbox` module): an open follow-up with owner `self-run` admitted
+//! by her Persona turn is a brief. `drive` is the one writer into her
+//! session, and keeps one write outstanding (ruling
+//! `eureka-body:ruling:self-session-one-outstanding-write`): the start message,
+//! then one line at a time holding the briefs that wait and the flush ask, each
+//! sent only after the previous line's echo, mid-turn or idle. The CLI echoes each
+//! line it takes into a request (`--replay-user-messages`) and joins lines queued
+//! behind one request into a single echo, so the echo is the consumption point
+//! only while no second line is in flight. Her Self resolves each brief she
+//! answers; the actuator closes none, and a brief she left open is told to her
+//! next session. Compaction is off in
+//! the CLI (`DISABLE_COMPACT=1`): the organ's own ceiling, flush, end and rehydrate
+//! is the only path. The session ends where its cache would be evicted, near the
+//! unit's cap, at the context ceiling, or after the flush each of those asks.
+//!
+//! Every timing decision is one pure function, `decide` (the `decide` module,
+//! ruling `eureka-body:ruling:self-run-decider`). `carry` is the loop that turns
+//! the operating system's facts into events and executes the actions.
+//!
+//! The child's credential is a lease, not a variable (rulings
+//! `eureka-body:ruling:self-runs-through-connector` and
+//! `eureka-body:ruling:self-run-credential-lease`): before it starts `claude`,
+//! `carry` asks the connector for a lease (`lease_client`) until the unit runtime
+//! cap, given to it in seconds (the connector binds the lease to this unit
+//! invocation), and the granted descriptor is the only place the token reaches
+//! the child. A refusal closes the run Recorded and starts nothing. Nothing is
+//! reserved, billed or settled: the lease ends when `carry` drops it, and nothing
+//! bounds a run in dollars or in usage; the bounds are `--max-turns`, the unit
+//! `RuntimeMaxSec` and the context-ceiling flush. The grant carries the plan usage
+//! windows, which go to the child in its start message.
+//!
+//! The actuator admits run closures and brief closures, nothing else. Every exit of
+//! `carry` that leaves her run open resolves it Recorded exactly once (the
+//! child's result in the rationale, or that it gave none in the reason). It reads neither the
+//! brake nor the environment and stops no unit: the gate and the brake hold own those.
+//! It never echoes an argument, an endpoint, a
+//! connector's refusal text or a stream line. Stream-json is Claude Code's wire, a
+//! foreign owner's JSON: it is parsed into `serde_json::Value` here and nothing
+//! parsed is stored.
