Meta Vens 92ac16c5b0 Cut RS-2: delete open_items, history, and the admission window
Subtraction only, per eureka-read-side-cut.md. Deletes PipelineOpenItems,
HistoryScope, open_items, history, and the admitted_after/admitted_before
window from the read side, their wire variants and arms, the daemon arms
and tests that exercised only these, the OpenItems/History lines from the
instance-gate tests (each keeps its query and view cases), and the README
clause. serve.rs's N4 gate fixtures use whoami in place of open_items as
the long operation name; the case is kept.

Deleted the now-dead Reader::views() helper and the 'a lifetime it forced
on Reader, and stripped the History-only assertions from two tests the
map did not name (a_ref_whose_kind_and_id_disagree_is_refused_by_both_doors
and views_read_admitted_at_from_the_receipt_not_stored_at) that also called
the deleted API. Regenerated both published wire schemas.

Removes cut9 V9-V15, V22 and V22L (12 entries incl. V13L/V14L), and cut10
D19, D19L, D23, D23L, S1 and S1d (6 entries). D13 and D13L are re-anchored
on the surviving view/query arms; D13L uses a near-miss spelling rather
than a pure casing change, since PowerShell's default -eq made a casing
mutant read as "changes nothing" to the harness's own guard. V24 collapses
from a two-door Edits array to a single edit now that view is the only
door left. cut9 (27 entries) and cut10 (65 entries) both rerun clean with
M0 green.

Huginn

Huginn is the GameCult memory organ. It owns each agent instance's mind as typed state: what an instance remembers, which of that memory is admitted to steer its next action, and the provenance of every admitted claim.

Upstream: https://github.com/GameCult/Huginn.git

Authority

  • An instance owns its mind; Huginn owns the state. Huginn is the single writer of an instance's memory documents. No other service, script, or agent writes them.
  • Memory documents are CultCache state. huginn-mind persists them through CultLib's Rust CultCache into a redb store at <state_root>/minds/<instance>/mind.redb. huginn-daemon serves one such mind over CultNet RUDP: admission and the read side ride cultnet.operation_request.v0 and cultnet.operation_response.v0, and the two wire schemas answer a schema catalog request.
  • Retrieval is to depend on Qdrant directly, refusing loudly when Qdrant is unreachable rather than falling back to a second store or a second writer. No crate opens that connection yet.
  • Mind state is not version-controlled. It lives in Huginn's store, not in any repository.

Generic .cc inspection is not Huginn's job. CultCache Studio inspects and edits .cc state. Huginn reads and writes minds.

Layout

A Cargo workspace of three crates:

  • crates/huginn-mind: storage, identity, admission, and queries and derived status over memory documents.
  • crates/huginn-daemon: the CultNet surface. The socket, the sessions, the process and the operation envelope, and no rule.
  • crates/eureka-state: a stub. It will carry typed state for the Eureka pipeline; today it holds none.

huginn-mind is live: it opens one instance's store (an owned redb CultCache at <state_root>/minds/<instance>/mind.redb, locked for the mind's lifetime), and refuses a store whose instance document names another instance, whose epoch record is foreign, or whose types are not a mind's. It admits batches of pipeline documents through one commit path: the leaf's bounds, formats and keys, then the organ's cross-document rules (references, in-force status, the resolution matrix, derived resolutions and stewardships), then one compare-and-swap that lands the batch whole with a receipt naming the exact bytes it read and wrote. An exact replay answers with the stored receipt. It reads them back the same way: a document with the facts of its admission joined from that receipt and its status derived at read time, and typed queries over one mind. Status is never stored, and the views derive it through the same rules admission does. Document shape and keys come from epiphany-pipeline; the store is CultLib's Rust CultCache.

huginn-daemon opens one mind, binds one UDP socket in that order, and answers every frame on the session it arrived on: one operation per Mind method plus whoami, whose payload is the mind's own types as named MessagePack. A refusal is an answer with a rejected status, never a transport error; an envelope that does not decode is answered with a typed failure and reaches no mind. The two schemas it publishes live in schemas/cultnet/ and are pinned to their derivation by a test. There is no index yet.

eureka-state is a stub; the campaign's cut map in Epiphany/notes/eureka-pipeline-state-cut.md owns what each crate must do next.

Persona

Huginn's legacy repo Persona lives under .voidbot/. Its state/huginn.cc holds legacy void.* documents and its voice/identity.json names the Persona. The two disagree about jurisdiction; that migration belongs to the portable-Persona work, not to this workspace, and nothing here reads or writes .voidbot/.
