A reshape into Stratum's first ingress client — recorded in the log it writes to.
The surface lies. The layers remember.
The break is the record — mended with gold.
§R Replay the ledger
Drag the core-depth scrubber. Every position is a real projection of the embedded
log, recomputed by the fold — not an animation. Watch ct-011 lose its evidence and
the reframe un-ratify as you go back before their markers land.
§1 Turn by turn
Nine phases. The gold-seamed tiles are the breaks — where the work was wrong and was mended in view, kintsugi-fashion, rather than papered over.
§2 What the session learned
§3 The genesis ledger
Rendered from the embedded machine record below (#genesis-trace). Status
and authority are folds at epoch 12; drag the scrubber to move them.
| id | type | status | authority | claim · shadow |
|---|
§4 The spec, in brief
Full text ships alongside as specs/cognitive-topology-reshape.spec.md
(v0.6.0). The load-bearing facts, all source-confirmed:
- INGRESS-I1 — emit the deterministic interpretation of an explicit interaction, never the raw stream. No unmasked representation crosses the canonicalization boundary.
- Emission tiering — user ratification →
ratification(axiomatic); checked test/artifact →verification(verified); model prose →claim(narrative). Mis-tiering is a defect class. - Envelope —
POST /api/logs/{logId}/events, BearerSTRATUM_TOKEN, snake_case record body. - Idempotency — the deterministic
id(digest of the masked emission) is the key; a duplicate id → 409. - /tessera — reads
GET /api/logs/{logId}/projection?epoch=; it is a fold, never a written file. - Status is a fold —
status_at(event, epoch); wall-clock ignored; single-parent lineage; fail-closed projection. - Memory — ranking defers to ContextSynapse's ForwardPass fold; the Lighthouse is carried and protected, never inferred.
- Degradation — unconfigured = graceful no-op with notice; configured-but-unavailable = visible integrity failure.
