Eve Migration Roadmap

Date: 2026-07-08

The great Eve migration is the move from a useful pile of renderer proofs, fixtures, provider demos, and platform experiments into a kernel-shaped system: Eve core owns contracts, plugins own semantics, runtime repos own native projection, and provider repos own live truth.

This is not a repo cleanup campaign. It is an authority migration. The split is complete only when the old in-repo convenience paths can no longer decide provider truth, plugin semantics, or runtime behavior by accident.

Objective

Make Eve the stable interactive language for CultMesh surfaces without turning E:\Projects\Eve into a permanent warehouse.

The target shape:

  • Eve core: surface contracts, CultUI DSL, command/binding descriptors, provider/plugin advertisement specs, browser reference, and conformance harness incubation.
  • EvePlugins: first-party reusable semantic plugins while young.
  • Owner repos: Sai owns VN/Ink, Norn owns graph semantics, providers such as Aetheria own live state and authored product surfaces.
  • Runtime repos: EveUnity, EveFlutter, EveAndroid, EveIOS, EveGodot, EveElectron, Fensalir/Direct2D, and future bodies own projection, build glue, plugin projection adapters, capture, and runtime tests.
  • EveConformance: fixture corpus, parity runner, capability matrix, screenshot/report artifacts, plugin packs, and CI once the harness is stable enough to leave Eve core.

Current Authority Map

Owner:

  • Eve owns gamecult.eve.surface.v1, gamecult.eve.command.v1, CultUI, provider/plugin advertisement contracts, plugin ABI shape, browser reference behavior, and parity/conformance policy.

Inputs:

  • Local fixtures under web/fixtures.
  • Incubating plugin manifests under plugins/incubating.
  • Runtime claims in tools/parity/parity-manifest.json.
  • Provider advertisements such as Repixelizer's local fixture.
  • Hermodr/Odin/CultMesh live provider surfaces when available.

Outputs:

  • Browser reference lowering.
  • Runtime capability reports.
  • Plugin capability gaps.
  • Parity reports under artifacts/parity.
  • Split targets and graduation triggers in the parity manifest.

Derived state:

  • Local provider lists are fixture advertisements, not discovery truth.
  • Runtime capability status is diagnostic, not provider authority.
  • Screenshot/golden artifacts are evidence, not portable state.
  • In-repo runtime/plugin bodies are incubation, not permanent ownership.

Forbidden writers:

  • Runtime lowerers must not import provider internals to recover missing semantics.
  • Plugins must not mutate provider truth or accept provider commands.
  • Product demos must not become Eve core fixtures once they carry product state, assets, receipts, or deployment assumptions.
  • Compatibility HTTP routes and browser tabs must not replace provider advertisements.
  • Passing parity tests must not preserve a body that cannot name its owner, inputs, outputs, and split trigger.

Shared paths:

  • Every runtime claim flows through tools/parity/parity-manifest.json.
  • Every fixture belongs to a conformance pack: core, plugin, provider, or runtime.
  • Every plugin claim names owner repo, split target, capabilities, required fixtures, and graduation trigger.
  • Every runtime claim names owner repo, repo role, split target, supported features, plugin support, and graduation trigger.

Deletion line:

  • Cut hardcoded provider tabs before adding new live providers.
  • Cut renderer-specific product knowledge before claiming generic Eve support.
  • Cut in-repo runtime/plugin bodies once their contract and release lifecycle stop changing.

Phase 0: Ledger And Contract Grounding

Status: underway.

Purpose: make ownership visible before moving code.

Work:

  • Keep docs/repo-strategy.md as the repo boundary doctrine.
  • Keep this roadmap as the migration sequence.
  • Keep tools/parity/parity-manifest.json as the machine-readable ownership ledger.
  • Keep docs/surface-contract-v1.md, docs/provider-advertisement-contract.md, and docs/plugin-architecture.md as the contract source of truth.
  • Keep browser reference and parity harness green after every migration cut.

Exit criteria:

  • All fixtures declare a conformance pack.
  • All incubating plugins declare owner, split target, capabilities, and required fixtures.
  • All runtimes declare owner, repo role, supported features, plugin claims, and graduation trigger.
  • Harness reports missing ownership metadata and plugin gaps explicitly.

Current proof:

  • node --test web\eve-dsl.test.mjs
  • powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\run-parity-harness.ps1

Phase 1: Stabilize Core Surface Contract

Purpose: make the surface contract boring enough that runtimes and providers can leave the repo without dragging hidden behavior with them.

Work:

  • Normalize surface.root, surface.styles.tokens, stateBindings, embeddedDocuments, command templates, and operation invocation descriptors.
  • Keep compatibility fields such as nodes, selectedNodeId, raw command, and string payloads as projections only.
  • Add explicit authority/staleness witness UI in the browser reference for stale, missing, predicted, denied, accepted, and reconciled values.
  • Add provider advertisement fixture checks for local and live discovery paths. First cut is in place for Repixelizer and Aetheria provider advertisements.
  • Add plugin advertisement fixture checks before adding more plugin semantics.

Exit criteria:

  • Browser reference can open all local fixtures through advertisement-shaped provider entries.
  • New renderer APIs construct commands from CultMesh operation descriptors, not raw strings.
  • New binding APIs carry CultMesh state binding descriptors, not renderer-local stores.
  • Parity harness fails if embedded slots, required bindings, command descriptors, or provider advertisement fields disappear.

Phase 2: Split Conformance Shape From Runtime Bodies

Purpose: make the evidence path portable before runtime repos leave.

Work:

  • Promote tools/parity from a local script into a conformance pack layout: fixture metadata, expected capability matrix, runtime adapters, plugin packs, and report schema.
  • Separate core fixtures from plugin/provider/runtime fixtures.
  • Add screenshot comparison metrics for structure, token colors, bounding boxes, text presence, and capability-gap overlays without pretending byte-identical pixels are the goal.
  • Keep generated reports under artifacts/parity as evidence only.

Exit criteria:

  • A runtime repo can run conformance against Eve fixtures without importing Eve source internals.
  • Plugin conformance packs can be added without editing core harness logic.
  • EveConformance has a clean split plan, or stays incubating only because the report schema is still changing.

Phase 3: Graduate Plugins

Purpose: move semantic ownership out of Eve core.

Work:

  • Keep plugins/incubating/sai-vn.plugin.json, plugins/incubating/norn-graph.plugin.json, and plugins/incubating/tex-math.plugin.json as temporary manifests.
  • Define gamecult.eve.plugin.v1 and gamecult.eve.plugin_advertisement.v1 as explicit schemas. First-cut JSON schemas live under schemas/ and the parity harness validates incubating plugin manifests and advertisements against them.
  • Add plugin ABI fixtures for describe, validate, project, apply, lower, and measure where relevant.
  • Move sai.vn to Sai when VN/Ink story state, visual manifest, story commands, and projection fixtures are stable.
  • Move norn.graph to Norn when graph layout, interaction, fallback, and conformance fixtures are stable.
  • Move tex.math to EvePlugins when TeX source, macro, baseline, cached render, and fallback fixtures are stable.

Exit criteria:

  • Eve core knows plugin manifests and capability gaps, not plugin internals.
  • Providers invoke plugins through the ABI object model.
  • Runtimes declare plugin support through capability manifests.
  • Unsupported required plugin capabilities appear as visible gaps.

Phase 4: Graduate Runtime Bodies

Purpose: let runtime repos own native projection without losing conformance.

Work:

  • EveFlutter: provider picker, command transport, plugin projection adapters, Android/iOS/desktop build flow, native capture, and parity reports.
  • EveUnity: UPM package release, plugin projection adapter behavior, resolver-backed embedded documents, Unity test/capture lifecycle, and Aetheria consumption.
  • EveAndroid: Kotlin device edge, generic surface traversal, sensor publishing, Android-specific CI, and explicit discovery input.
  • EveIOS: UIKit renderer, sensor edge release flow, fixed-device and simulator capture, and generic surface lowering.
  • Fensalir/Direct2D: Eve-to-AquariumUiDocument adapter, DirectWrite/Direct2D token lowering, embedded slot preservation, and frame capture.
  • EveWeb: stays in Eve while it is the behavior oracle; splits only if it becomes an independently deployed runtime product.

Exit criteria:

  • Runtime can build, test, capture, and report conformance without sharing Eve's dirty worktree.
  • Runtime consumes surface documents, plugin manifests, and provider advertisements through contracts.
  • Runtime has no provider-specific renderer brain unless it is explicitly a provider-owned app.

Phase 5: Move Product Fixtures To Provider Repos

Purpose: prevent demos from becoming quiet product authority inside Eve.

Work:

  • Repixelizer owns job/session/artifact/operator fixtures once they carry real product state or receipts.
  • Aetheria owns RTS/ARPG world surfaces, assets, generated level state, command receipts, and scenario conformance.
  • Huginn owns .cc and Persona-state inspection fixture packs when they depend on runtime stewardship details.
  • Mimir owns sensor/media/control surfaces that depend on live stream timing or room state.

Exit criteria:

  • Provider repo publishes provider advertisements and fixture/conformance packs.
  • Eve core keeps only minimal generic fixtures and references provider packs by contract.
  • Product assets and receipts are not stored as Eve core truth.

Phase 6: Cut Compatibility Paths

Purpose: make old routes unable to reassert authority.

Work:

  • Remove hardcoded browser provider tabs once live/local advertisements cover the same flows.
  • Remove direct Mimir deck probing from generic Eve paths.
  • Remove renderer-private style shortcuts once token lowering is complete.
  • Remove raw command construction APIs from new public runtime paths.
  • Remove provider-specific renderer fallbacks from generic lowerers.

Exit criteria:

  • The only normal path is provider advertisement -> surface document -> runtime lowering -> command intent -> provider receipt -> republished state.
  • Compatibility routes exist only as named lowerings or debug probes.
  • Parity and runtime diagnostics report the same layer of reality the user sees.

Active Work Queue

  1. Move EveUnity toward split readiness with runtime-owned UPM release and Unity capture/test lifecycle evidence.

Recently cut:

  • Aetheria interactive world surfaces now carry a structured provider-owned worldInteraction contract. The provider advertisement names projection kind, provider state schemas, daemon command boundary, receipt schema, lowering targets, and ownership rules for aetheria.daemon.game and aetheria.daemon.editor. The provider scenario requires the daemon game world-surface contract, parity validates it against the advertisement, the conformance export carries surfaceContracts, and the Aetheria consumer smoke asserts those fields without importing Aetheria or Eve internals.
  • EveUnity test lifecycle now carries a structured Unity EditMode runner contract. packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eve-runtime-capability.json names the runner script, consumer Unity project, default Unity editor path, package name, test assembly, platform, result artifacts, and temporary testables manifest mutation. The lifecycle smoke validates the runner script and Aetheria project, parity compares the contract against the ledger, and the runtime-owner consumer smoke asserts exported test fields. This is Unity package consumption proof for CultLib-produced assemblies; CultLib remains the owner of the .NET/NuGet dependency story.
  • EveUnity release lifecycle now carries a structured UPM release contract. packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eve-runtime-capability.json names the package root, version source, tag pattern, artifact kind, and owner-side publish proof for org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit. The lifecycle smoke validates that contract against the package manifest, parity compares it against the ledger, and the runtime-owner consumer smoke asserts the exported release fields without pretending the tagged EveUnity release already exists.
  • Runtime-owner conformance consumption now asserts EveUnity lifecycle stage evidence directly. The generic consumer supports --expect-runtime-lifecycle-status and --expect-runtime-lifecycle-pending; the runtime-owner smoke verifies the Unity UI Toolkit release/test/capture statuses plus the tagged UPM release, batchmode runner, and capture artifact pending proofs from the exported runtime record.
  • Plugin manifests and advertisements now carry a typed runtime-independent sidecar ABI boundary. Sai, Norn, and TeX declare invocationModel: executable-sidecar, gamecult.eve.plugin_abi.v1, CultMesh/stdio transports, renderer independence, no provider-state mutation, provider-owned command acceptance, and runtime.sidecar fields for process kind, protocol, request/response schemas, operations, command envelope, receipt schema, and state authority. The parity harness validates manifest/advertisement agreement, checks sidecar operations against ABI fixture operations, exports the runtime boundary, and the plugin-owner consumer smoke asserts the Sai/Norn sidecar contract from the conformance pack.
  • Conformance export now carries first-class capabilityGaps[] records derived from plugin errors, provider advertisement/scenario errors, runtime missing evidence, declared unsupported plugin projection, capture gaps, and split blockers. The generic consumer can assert named gaps with --expect-capability-gap; the default smoke now proves Direct2D capture and EveUnity release ownership remain visible blockers instead of hiding in Markdown prose.
  • Conformance export now carries a first-class gamecult.eve.capability_matrix.v1 projection. The matrix summarizes pack health, plugin ABI/capability claims, provider surfaces/commands/receipts, runtime feature/capture/command coverage, split readiness, and handoff counts from the exported evidence. The generic consumer smoke asserts it with --expect-capability-matrix, so owner repos do not need to scrape the Markdown report or rebuild Eve's summary logic to understand coverage.
  • Conformance export now copies handoff documents into handoffs/*.json rather than exporting Eve-local source paths only. The export carries handoff export paths for EveConformance, Sai/Norn plugins, Aetheria, and EveUnity; the generic consumer verifies those copied documents for conformance, plugin, provider, and runtime handoff assertions. Owner repos can inspect the boundary map from the exported pack itself.
  • EveConformance now has a machine-readable handoff at tools/conformance/eveconformance-handoff.json and a verifier at scripts/run-eveconformance-handoff-smoke.ps1. The handoff names the conformance runner, schemas, consumer smokes, fixture corpus, contract inputs, forbidden imports, and external proofs that leave Eve when the harness graduates. The conformance export carries conformanceHandoffPath, and the generic consumer smoke asserts it so EveConformance split readiness is not trapped in Eve's parity manifest.
  • Sai and Norn now have plugin handoff manifests at plugins/incubating/sai-vn.plugin-handoff.json and plugins/incubating/norn-graph.plugin-handoff.json, plus a shared verifier at scripts/run-plugin-handoff-smoke.ps1. The handoffs name the manifest, advertisement, ABI fixture, move sets, contract inputs, forbidden imports, and external proofs that must move to the owner repos. The conformance export carries plugin handoffPath, and the plugin-owner smoke asserts it so Sai and Norn can consume the plugin boundary without reading Eve's parity manifest.
  • Aetheria now has a provider handoff manifest at web/fixtures/aetheria-provider-handoff.json and a verifier at scripts/run-aetheria-provider-handoff-smoke.ps1. The handoff names the advertisement, interactive world fixture, provider scenario, contract inputs, forbidden imports, and external proofs that must move to Aetheria. The conformance export carries the handoff path, and the Aetheria consumer smoke asserts it so provider ownership does not depend on Eve's parity manifest.
  • EveUnity now has a machine-readable split handoff at packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eveunity-split-handoff.json and a verifier at scripts/run-eveunity-split-handoff-smoke.ps1. The handoff names the UPM package body, Unity test lifecycle, Unity capture lifecycle, contract inputs, forbidden imports, and required external proofs that must move to EveUnity. It is wired into the runtime capability manifest and lifecycle smoke, so the remaining split blockers are release/test/capture ownership rather than an undocumented migration shape.
  • Split-target conformance consumption now verifies graduation state instead of only split-target presence. The generic consumer supports --expect-split-target-status, --expect-split-target-blocker, and --expect-split-target-proof; the parity harness runs scripts/run-split-target-conformance-consumer-smoke.ps1; and EveFlutter / EveUnity consumers can now prove that the targets remain incubating for named blockers while their current split-readiness proofs stay passed.
  • Runtime owner conformance consumption now verifies runtime target health instead of only runtime presence. The generic consumer supports --expect-runtime-status, --expect-runtime-feature, --expect-runtime-command-schema, and --expect-runtime-capture-status; the export carries top-level captureStatus; and the parity harness runs a runtime-owner smoke that proves active Flutter/Unity/web targets while keeping Fensalir Direct2D explicitly demoted as external-adapter-spike with missing capture.
  • Provider owner conformance consumption now verifies the interactive-world contract instead of only provider presence. The generic conformance consumer supports --expect-provider-surface, --expect-provider-surface-kind, --expect-provider-command, and --expect-provider-receipt-state; the export now carries provider receipt states and surface-kind claims; and Aetheria's consumer smoke asserts the daemon game/editor surfaces, interactive world surface roles, daemon command boundary, and accepted/reconciled receipts from the exported provider pack.
  • Plugin owner conformance consumption now has a smoke runner at scripts/run-plugin-owner-conformance-consumer-smoke.ps1. The generic conformance consumer can assert plugin ABI operations and capabilities with --expect-plugin-operation and --expect-plugin-capability, and the export now carries plugin manifest paths, advertisement paths, split targets, graduation triggers, and optional plugin dependencies. Sai and Norn can prove the plugin contract from the conformance export without reading Eve's parity manifest.
  • EveUnity now has a split lifecycle smoke at scripts/run-eveunity-lifecycle-smoke.ps1. It validates the existing packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eve-runtime-capability.json lifecycle claims directly instead of duplicating them, checks evidence paths, and runs the Aetheria Unity package consumer-build smoke. -RunUnityEditMode is available for the heavier Unity batchmode path. EveUnity remains incubating until tagged UPM release, batchmode runner ownership, and capture artifacts live under the EveUnity repo.
  • EveFlutter now has explicit lifecycle incubation evidence at flutter/eve_parity/eveflutter-lifecycle.json and a smoke runner at scripts/run-eveflutter-lifecycle-smoke.ps1. The smoke validates the lifecycle document, checks release/test/capture evidence paths, runs Dart analysis from the bundled SDK, and consumes the exported conformance pack from inside flutter/eve_parity. The split-readiness blocker is now narrower: tagged release, test runner ownership, and capture runner ownership must move to EveFlutter, rather than pretending the lifecycle shape is still unknown.
  • EveFlutter now has a provider-catalog picker primitive. EveProviderCatalog parses conformance-export provider entries, including Sai/Norn/TeX plugin requirements, and EveProviderPicker selects those provider ids without reading web fixture paths. The Flutter smoke test proves provider selection from an export-shaped provider list, so the split-readiness report records the provider-picker proof as passed while leaving release/capture lifecycle ownership as the remaining EveFlutter blocker.
  • EveFlutter now has a conformance consumer smoke at scripts/run-eveflutter-conformance-consumer-smoke.ps1. It runs from flutter/eve_parity, consumes the exported conformance pack, and asserts the runtime pack, Sai provider fixture, Flutter runtimes, and EveFlutter split target without reading Eve's parity manifest. The split-readiness report now records that as a passed proof instead of leaving it as a permanent pending blocker.
  • Fensalir now has a recorded runtime-pack gamecult.eve.surface.v1 adapter fixture at web/fixtures/fensalir-direct2d-surface.json. The browser local catalog uses that contract-shaped surface instead of the older dashboard-state sketch, and the parity harness validates embedded-slot preservation, command descriptors, runtime authority witnesses, and style tokens. Direct2D capture and runtime-owned command smoke remain the activation blockers.
  • UIKit and Kotlin device-edge runtimes now declare unsupported Sai/Norn/TeX plugin projection explicitly. They remain generic embedded-document and device-edge proofs; plugin projection authority belongs to EveFlutter, EveUnity, or future runtime-specific projection adapters instead of being reported as unexplained active capability gaps.
  • The web reference no longer hardcodes the local provider list in web/surface.js. It loads web/local-provider-catalog.json, then opens advertisement-backed entries for Aetheria, Repixelizer, and Sai through the same loadProviderAdvertisement path used by the provider picker. Fixture-only surfaces remain explicit local catalog entries until they gain provider advertisements or move into their owner packs.
  • Provider advertisements can now name sidecar plugin requirements per surface with surfaces[].requiresPlugins[]. The parity harness validates those requirements against known plugin manifests, exports them in the conformance provider list, and reports missing plugins or capabilities as provider capability gaps. The Sai VN fixture now has an advertisement-shaped provider entry for gamecult.home.vn, so Sai/Norn/TeX requirements sit at the provider/plugin boundary instead of hiding only in fixture metadata.
  • The conformance runtime pack now exports runtimeTargets in artifacts/conformance/latest/packs/runtime.json. Runtime repos can consume runtime status, feature/plugin claims, command schema, lifecycle, capture status, capability manifest path, and missing evidence without depending on Eve's parity manifest layout.
  • Sai, Norn, and TeX plugin ABI fixtures now cover lower and measure in addition to describe, validate, project, and apply. Eve validates the operation shape, preserved component kinds, measurement outputs, and provider authority flag without importing plugin internals or deciding plugin semantics.
  • The web reference now publishes a runtime capability manifest at web/eve-runtime-capability.json, and the parity harness validates it through the same runtime capability path as Unity. Web remains Eve's behavior oracle, not an EveWeb split target, unless it gains independent deployment lifecycle. Its manifest explicitly claims provider advertisement consumption, embedded-document lowering, state bindings, style tokens, authority witnesses, plugin projection support, command intent emission, and Chrome headless capture evidence.
  • Unity UI Toolkit now declares runtime lifecycle evidence in packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eve-runtime-capability.json. The parity harness validates release, test, and capture lifecycle claims against tools/parity/parity-manifest.json, checks declared evidence paths, and exports lifecycle status through the conformance index. Current proof covers incubating UPM package identity, package EditMode tests, Aetheria consumer-build smoke, and an Eve-owned batchmode EditMode run through the Aetheria Unity project; tagged EveUnity release, moving the batchmode runner into EveUnity, and editor or batchmode capture remain explicit split blockers.
  • Aetheria now has repeatable Unity EditMode evidence for the Eve UI Toolkit runtime. scripts/run-aetheria-unity-editmode-tests.ps1 temporarily adds org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit to Aetheria's Unity testables, runs GameCult.Eve.UnityUIToolkit.Tests in Unity batchmode, writes XML and log artifacts under artifacts/aetheria-unity-editmode, and restores Packages/manifest.json before returning. The Brokkr/CultMesh DLL references in the Unity test asmdef are Unity package assembly plumbing: CultLib already owns the .NET/NuGet dependency story. EveUnity's split blocker is proving how the Unity package resolves those assemblies after it leaves Eve incubation, not inventing a dependency system for CultLib. This proves the incubating test lifecycle; it does not make Eve own Unity's final runtime lifecycle.
  • Aetheria now has repeatable Unity package consumer-build evidence for the Eve UI Toolkit runtime. scripts/run-aetheria-unity-package-smoke.ps1 verifies Aetheria's Unity Packages/manifest.json consumes Eve's surface and UI Toolkit packages by file reference, checks the generated GameCult.Eve.UnityUIToolkit.csproj includes all current runtime files, and builds the package through Aetheria's Unity-generated project.
  • Unity UI Toolkit now has a first-party norn.graph projection-adapter proof for embed.norn. NornGraphUiToolkitProjectionAdapter owns the native embedded graph shell and graph command emission path, while the Norn sidecar plugin keeps graph layout and graph semantics. EveUnity split-readiness is now blocked on runtime-owned release, test, and capture lifecycle evidence rather than missing Sai/Norn projection support.
  • Unity UI Toolkit now has a first-party sai.vn projection-adapter proof. The runtime owns IEveUiToolkitPluginProjectionAdapter, registers SaiVisualNovelUiToolkitProjectionAdapter through EveUiToolkitSurfaceOptions, and declares support for vn.stage, story.choose, story.continue, and story.jump in its runtime capability manifest. Sai still owns story state and command semantics; Unity only lowers the visual stage/dialogue/action surface and emits Eve command requests.
  • Unity UI Toolkit now publishes a runtime-owned capability manifest at packages/org.gamecult.eve.unity-uitoolkit/eve-runtime-capability.json. The parity harness validates that manifest against gamecult.eve.runtime_capability.v1, cross-checks supported features, unsupported Sai/Norn/TeX plugin declarations, command transport schema, and incubation metadata, then exports the manifest path and validation errors through the conformance report.
  • Aetheria now consumes the exported conformance pack from its own working directory through scripts/run-aetheria-conformance-consumer-smoke.ps1. The smoke asserts the provider pack, aetheria-world fixture, aetheria provider entry, and aetheria-world-command-replay scenario without reading Eve's parity manifest or dirtying the Aetheria worktree.
  • The parity harness now runs a conformance consumer smoke against a copied artifacts/conformance/latest layout, proving the export can be consumed through index.json and packs/*.json without reading Eve's parity manifest.
  • The parity harness now emits an EveConformance-shaped export under artifacts/conformance/latest, with a top-level index and per-pack JSON files for core, plugin, provider, and runtime consumers.
  • Unity's plugin projection capability gap is now explicitly demoted. The UI Toolkit runtime owns generic projection and command requests, while Sai, Norn, and TeX semantics remain sidecar-plugin responsibilities. Unity only adds projection adapters for capabilities a plugin advertises through Eve.
  • Flutter and Unity now have runtime command-transport smoke evidence in the parity report. Flutter emits gamecult.eve.command.v1 intents from lowered controls, and Unity command requests now carry the same command schema.
  • Aetheria now has a provider scenario replay fixture advertised through its provider advertisement. The parity harness validates advertised surfaces, command boundary consumption, command intents, and provider-owned receipt states without importing Aetheria internals into Eve.
  • Sai, Norn, and TeX now have plugin ABI fixtures for describe, validate, project, lower, measure, and apply behavior. The parity harness validates those fixtures against plugin manifests, so Eve proves the ABI shape without owning plugin semantics.
  • Split-readiness reporting now exists for EveFlutter and EveUnity. The parity report lists member runtime health, required plugin capability claims, pending proofs, and blockers before either repo can graduate out of Eve incubation.
  • Direct2D is now recorded as an external Fensalir adapter spike, not an active Eve runtime. Activation requires recorded gamecult.eve.surface.v1 fixture replay, command emission through the advertised boundary, and Direct2D frame capture evidence from Fensalir.
  • Fixture conformance metadata now lives beside each fixture and is validated by the parity harness, so the corpus can move toward EveConformance without relying only on Eve's local manifest layout.
  • The browser reference now has an authority/staleness witness fixture. The parity report verifies visible fresh, accepted, stale, missing, pending, denied, predicted, and reconciled states, with provider and renderer ownership kept separate.
  • Command descriptor validation now runs for strict fixtures. Sai proves story.*/style.patch; Aetheria proves the daemon command boundary; the web lowerer resolves authored action.command through the shared Eve command intent path.
  • Provider advertisement validation now runs in the parity harness.
  • Repixelizer and Aetheria provider advertisements are checked against gamecult.eve.provider_advertisement.v1.
  • Aetheria has a minimal provider-owned interactive world fixture in Eve so the browser oracle can prove the surface path without owning Aetheria truth.

Stop Conditions

Stop adding features and update the map when:

  • a runtime needs product knowledge to render a generic surface;
  • a plugin fixture needs provider state to prove plugin behavior;
  • a provider fixture becomes necessary for core Eve tests;
  • a compatibility route becomes easier to use than a provider advertisement;
  • a generated report says "active" while listing missing source symbols, features, metadata, or plugin support;
  • a split target exists but the owner, inputs, outputs, and release lifecycle are still awkward to explain.

If the sentence "X owns Y so that Z remains true" cannot be written cleanly, the migration step is not ready. The machine may still be useful. It is not yet coherent.
