-# Cultural Ontology Store
-
-This directory holds draft Weksa cultural, subcultural, and source-referent
-ontology profiles used for ontological lowering, syntax, grammar, discourse,
-and surface-affordance selection.
-
-Live pipeline shape:
-
-1. Weksa stores reusable cultures, subcultures, and source referents here and
-   in semantic retrieval storage such as Qdrant.
-2. A Persona state references the relevant culture stack.
-3. The Persona produces interlingua intent from current state and situation.
-4. Weksa lowers that interlingua through the referenced culture stack.
-
-Persona state owns current intent, memory pressure, and relationship stance.
-Cultural ontology owns reusable salience, affordances, and constraints. Qdrant
-may retrieve candidates, but accepted ontology remains typed state.
-
-## Directory Roles
-
-- `cultures/`: culture or life-history profiles that can shape lowering when a
-  Persona explicitly references them.
-- `referents/`: bounded source-text, mythic, literary, ritual, or historical
-  referents. These are not whole-culture profiles; they preserve reusable
-  role, salience, affordance, and forbidden-flattening pressure.
-- `persona-stacks/`: named stacks that connect a Persona state surface to the
-  profiles Weksa should load for lowering.
-
-Shared source-tradition profiles should be parent profiles for narrower named
-figure profiles. For example, Norse-derived Personas such as Mimir, Huginn,
-Sindri, Odin, Vili, Loki, and Brokkr should be able to reference the shared
-Eddic source-tradition profile while figure-specific child profiles preserve
-the exact episode and role constraints that make each voice distinct.

The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`) and never writes it; slice 1 of growth is outside any run: `weksa loop mint-ontology` drafts entries from the run's Train items of one language into `<root>/ontology-mint/<digest>.answer`, `weksa ontology admit --ontology <copy>` admits them into a file copy, and a new run pins the copy (a run-owned copy waits on follow-up `language-ontology-growth`). Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later.

Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. Merges follow-ups `loop-context-builder-2` and `scorer-test-readings-type`. (spec r1)
 7b. `golf-loop-round` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-round`): the smallest loop that scores one round. `run.rs`: `RunStores` pins the corpus and entity stores of a run by canonical path and FNV-1a 64 digest at `create`, reopens only from `<root>/run.cc` and refuses drift (corpus, entities, `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` of `context.rs`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, model, embedder); `round` encodes every live Train and Validation item through a `ModelPort` (`model.rs`; the one adapter `AnswerFiles` writes `<digest>.prompt` and reads `<digest>.answer`, so the model is the Claude session), reads each answer into a `PacketDraft` (`encode.rs`, the one place a model's JSON is read), admits through `PacketStore::admit` into `<root>/round-<n>/packets.cc`, lowers, scores once, and keeps a `RoundRecord` (`weksa.loop_round`, no text, no Test; Train rows, Validation only as means and refusal counts). `weksa loop open|round`. Not here: the spec-edit step, accept rule and composite, noise floor, Score and lowering documents, a subprocess adapter, the checkpoint door, a model lowerer (follow-ups `golf-loop-spec-edit`, `golf-loop-accept-rule`, `golf-loop-score-documents`, `golf-loop-subprocess-adapter`, `golf-loop-checkpoint-door-bound`, `golf-loop-model-lowerer`). `packet-store-inventory-binding` is met for loop packets only (`RunStores` admits with the run's inventory); `validate`, `packet proof|dao` and `lower` still take caller stores. Waits on 7a, `checkpoint-gate`, 4b.
