+# Scaffolding V1 — Tranche 1
+
+_2026-09-12. Scaffolding is the controlled need-to-capability system: NEED →
+DISCOVERY → GAP → REUSE/ACQUIRE/BUILD → IMPACT+PLAN → SAFE IMPLEMENTATION →
+VERIFICATION → PROVISIONAL USE → TRUST/REVISE/RETIRE → REUSABLE CAPABILITY.
+Tranche 1 is deliberately narrower: make Rune stop rediscovering how Rune is
+built every time Rune changes._
+
+## Tranche 1 contract
+
+`scripts/scaffold_projection.py` — a PROJECTION over existing authorities,
+never a new one:
+
+| question | authority projected |
+|---|---|
+| what subsystem owns X? | `config/umbrellas.json` (umbrella manifest + henxel-enforced completeness) |
+| what does X depend on? | AST import graph over `src/rune/*.py` (incl. relative/lazy imports) |
+| who consumes X? | reverse import edges |
+| what changes if X changes? | mirrors + `depends_on` umbrellas + consumers |
+| what proof obligations arise? | unit-test file, canary registry, umbrella gates, suite/lint/henxels |
+| which are satisfied? | filesystem + registry evidence (static); suite/ratchet/henxels are runtime-check commands |
+
+Commands: `component <module>` · `impact <module>` · `obligations <module>` ·
+`all [outfile]`. If the projection disagrees with an authority, fix the
+authority — never the projection.
+
+## Mechanism audit (2026-09-12, deployed 0.66.22)
+
+| mechanism | verdict | basis |
+|---|---|---|
+| Umbrella manifest + impact map + propagation gate | KEEP | ownership/impact authority; henxel-enforced completeness; consumed by projection |
+| Henxels structural contract | KEEP | cross-cutting obligations (silent-handler ratchet, registries, coverage debt) |
+| Canary registry (`canary_native.MODULES` + per-track canaries) | KEEP | per-subsystem proof obligations; consumed by projection |
+| CI/deploy contract (required checks, TUI startup canary, atomic promote) | KEEP | deployment proof chain live-proven repeatedly |
+| Version surfaces + auto-version + semver | KEEP | bump fast lane + push convergence working (0.66.22 earned this session) |
+| Lint/pyright/coverage ratchets | KEEP | shrinking-baseline gates, all green |
+| Authority map + dead-subnet ledger (D6) | EVOLVE | static doc today; Scaffolding projections make it derivable; D6 retire-disposition still owed |
+| Issue reconciliation artifact + checker | KEEP | tracker truth with drift detection |
+| PL1 experience ledger | KEEP | the trust/revise/retire input for future capability crystallisation |
+| Intent continuity ledger | KEEP | PART 6 state machine, 7 invariants |
+| `MIMO_AUTOMATIC_RESUME` / W/R interactive injection | KEEP (bounded) | headless single-flight proven; interactive auto-resume NOT YET SAFE until a supported busy signal exists |
+| Duplicate authorities risk | REPLACE (avoided) | Scaffolding v1 adds NO new registry — projections only |

+## Real-change proof (this tranche)
+
+Change: context discovery hit Ollama's `/api/show` with cloud-pinned model
+names — `400 invalid model name` noise on every cloud task + 8192 misbudget
+for a 131072-window model (observed live in every PL1 Task A/B run).
+
+1. BEFORE mutation: `scaffold_projection.py impact local_tool_runtime`
+   derived — subsystem `capability`; consumers `rune_operator`; gates:
+   full suite, lint ratchet, henxels, inference+orchestration canaries;
+   unit-test obligation `tests/test_local_tool_runtime.py` (exists).
+2. Change made: `is_cloud_pinned` — THE provider-prefix rule, single
+   authority in `openai_compat_transport.py`; consumed by context discovery
+   (new) and transport selection (deduped); red-first regression tests.
+3. Obligations tracked: suite 1314 green · lint ratchet PASS · henxels exit 0
+   · the projection itself caught two gaps mid-flight (relative imports
+   hidden consumers; a broad except biting the lint ratchet) — both fixed at
+   the source the projection pointed to.
+4. Deploy: normal release chain → deployed identity verified.
+
+## Maturity (honest)
+
+- Projection engine: **UNIT-PROVEN** + proven on one real change.
+- Not yet: CI integration of `scaffold_projection.py all` (drift detection),
+  capability discovery / gap recognition / reuse-before-build / external
+  acquisition / provisional-trust lifecycle — FOUNDATIONAL ONLY (architecture
+  does not block them; the projection source-list is the extension surface).
+- Deferred with reasons recorded: none blocked by Tranche 1.

+"""spine.py — Rune Spine V1: evolvable structural self-model.
+
+Spine answers, deterministically and without an LLM:
+  what exists, how it relates, what is wired/live, what version is
+  deployed, what evidence supports each claim, what drifted, what changed.
+
+PRIME DIRECTIVE: model Rune's architecture without freezing it. Entity
+kinds, relationship types and metadata are OPEN TAGS — a previously unseen
+capability enters as data, never as a core edit. Unknown fields survive
+load/projection/serialize/reload untouched.
+
+AUTHORITY MODEL: Spine is THE structural authority (subsystems, membership,
+dependencies, consumers, mirrors). Specialised authorities stay authoritative
+for their own domains and are OBSERVED, not copied: deployment identity
+(_build_identity.json), canary registry (canary_native.MODULES), provider
+config, CI outputs. Adding a domain = adding an adapter/projector.
+
+MATURITY LADDER (evidence-gated, no evidence = no promotion):
+  DECLARED < PRESENT < WIRED < REACHABLE < EXERCISED < LIVE_PROVEN
+  DECLARED    named in a registry/manifest
+  PRESENT     source artifact exists
+  WIRED       structural consumers/imports exist (or registry wiring)
+  REACHABLE   reachable from the composition root / deployed tree contains it
+  EXERCISED   test or canary exercises it
+  LIVE_PROVEN runtime observation on the deployed identity proves it live
+
+SNAPSHOTS: ingest is a pure function of authorities (sorted output), so
+snapshots are byte-deterministic; diff(a, b) answers "what changed" without
+interpretation.
+
+Schema version: 1. Unknown metadata survives by construction; a future
+reader migrates by adding a projector, never by editing old records.

Nick	9563148f9d	feat(spine): contracts, structural impact resolution, task binding, event seam Structural Impact Resolution: impact_frontier() — bounded LEVEL 0/1/2 resolution with a data-driven semantics table. Contract entities expand to all implements/consumes parties (a contract change deserves every consumer's inspection); unknown relationship types default to obligation-bearing (fail-loud, open world); non-obligation classes (documented_by, related_memory, supersedes...) never explode a frontier. Graph separation (addendum): Spine is its own logical graph — the frontier traverses Spine edges only; memory-style associations cannot expand structural impact; stable spine:// URIs let future Memory reference Spine entities without duplicating authority. Also: task binding (affects edges + bind_task/task_entities), predicted_vs_observed comparison (misses become CANDIDATE corrections, evidence-gated), generic structural_events() seam (dumb typed facts — no salience/policy; future Substrate subscribes), aggregate query() (the intrinsic self-knowledge property: owner/deps/consumers/contracts/state/ evidence/frontier in one deterministic call), evidence_conflict drift class. henxels similarity scan excludes store/spine (snapshots are legitimately near-identical by design). 45/45 spine tests; full gates green.	2026-09-12 18:06:16 +01:00

Nick	4072d36b1a	fix(spine): build re-derivation uses high-water upgrade — no demotion noise Evidence surfaced it: re-deriving module maturity during build() logged a demotion-rejection observation for every already-earned module (171 noise records). Build now upgrades via the silent high-water path; promote() logging stays reserved for explicit evidence-gated API calls.	2026-09-12 17:34:05 +01:00

Nick	ce40acbb1f	feat(spine): V1 — evolvable structural self-model as the single structural authority Open-world entity/relationship store (schema_version 1): kinds, relationship types and metadata are open tags — unknown future capabilities enter as data, never as core edits (extensibility test included, synthetic capability round-trips with zero core change). Evidence-gated maturity ladder DECLARED<PRESENT<WIRED<REACHABLE<EXERCISED<LIVE_PROVEN — no evidence, no promotion; demotion rejected and recorded. Umbrella migration Phase A→C: manifest ingested once (generated-view refusal guard prevents the ingest cycle; manual truth archived at config/umbrellas.manual.json), canaries preserved as obligated_canary relationships, config/umbrellas.json now a GENERATED compatibility view for legacy consumers (CI umbrella_impact gate + henxels) — single-authority route proven by registering module:spine through Spine alone (one store edit; the legacy view flows out; contract tests validate the round-trip). Dynamic observations: deployed identity (_build_identity.json), drift classes incl. registered_but_absent, present_but_unowned, registered_no_static_importers (D6 dead-subnet now mechanical), version_surfaces_disagree, relationship_disappeared. Deterministic snapshots + diff. Scaffolding V1 now consumes Spine for ownership/deps/ consumers (spine_maturity surfaced in every card). 31 spine tests; full gates green.	2026-09-12 17:03:27 +01:00

Nick	7f47969128	feat(scaffolding): V1 tranche 1 — projection engine over existing authorities scripts/scaffold_projection.py derives per-component cards (subsystem, dependencies, consumers, mirrors, proof obligations + evidence state) from the umbrella manifest, canary registry, AST import graph (incl. relative lazy imports), and tests/ filesystem. No new authority: projections only. docs/SCAFFOLDING.md records the mechanism audit (KEEP/EVOLVE/REPLACE/RETIRE) and the real-change proof on the context-discovery fix.	2026-09-12 11:15:42 +01:00
Nick	a65e5d44de	fix(runtime): context discovery routes cloud-pinned models to the provider wire Module-level context_length used OllamaChatTransport unconditionally, so every cloud-pinned task logged context_discovery tier=1 HTTPError 400 and was misbudgeted at the 8192 fallback instead of the provider's real window (131072 for Verboo Code/glm-5.3-flash). is_cloud_pinned is now THE provider-prefix rule — one authority in openai_compat_transport, consumed by context discovery (new) and transport selection (deduped from rune_operator._transport_for). Red-first regression tests added. Scaffolding-derived impact: consumer rune_operator; gates suite/lint/ henxels + inference/orchestration canaries.	2026-09-12 11:15:42 +01:00
