Pre-existing build break: PR #189 (2685a66) added ocean + ennead_role to
Psyche but did not update the 6 Psyche initializers in the generate_qa_dataset
binary. Surfaced by the post-merge full-workspace build (cargo build --lib was
green, masking it). Both fields are Option with serde(default); set to None.

- Add ADR 057 - Code-Understanding KG (Phase 43): an out-of-process, polyglot tree-sitter ingester daemon "Shen" (shend) replaces the in-process syn-based code_ingest tool. Code structure lives in a separate codex.* relational store projected to an Apache AGE codex_kg read-model (following ADR 049's truth+AGE-projection pattern); live edits stay in the LLM, not the KG (point-in-time, not transactional).
- Resolve the duplicate ADR 047: rename live-training 047 -> 058 (Seshat's Archive keeps ADR 047; 053 is reserved on develop for Thinking Loop Findings) and fix the inbound link in the Phase 27 plan.
- Add the Phase 43 / ADR 057 line to the CLAUDE.md roadmap.

Numbers chosen to avoid collision with develop's ADR 052 (Thinking Engine, Phase 41) and ADRs 054-056.

Fixes the silently-broken `cargo test` (a non-feature-gated bin failed to
compile, aborting the whole workspace test build) and adds a tested,
feature-gated ACP transport spike — the foundation for the pure-ACP pivot.

Test suite (now green: lib 2405, integration 105, generate_qa 12,
benchmark_chat 6, hermeticity 4, persistence 5, doctests):
- generate_qa_dataset: add ocean/ennead_role to the 6 Psyche literals (the
  compile error that broke `cargo test` entirely).
- store/mmap: return a typed StoreError on truncated/corrupt files instead of
  panicking on an out-of-bounds slice (a PVC hazard); + 2 regression tests.
- integration: refresh two stale built-in tool counts (ToolQueryTool +
  DelegateTool were added); align criteria_evaluation_completes_goal with its
  stated intent (accept the designed early-exit-on-no-progress outcome).
- benchmark_chat: best-of-N the two sub-ms latency asserts so they no longer
  flake under parallel test load.

ACP spike (new `acp` feature, OFF by default — additive, no rip-out):
- src/acp/mod.rs: AkhAcpAgent serving the Agent Client Protocol over a Unix
  socket via the agent-client-protocol crate's ByteStreams transport
  (tokio<->futures bridged with tokio_util::compat). session/prompt wraps
  ChatProcessor under the ADR-027 discipline (Agent mutex locked only inside
  spawn_blocking, never held across an await).
- End-to-end test drives initialize -> session/new -> session/prompt over a
  real Unix socket and asserts a non-empty response; multi-thread runtime +
  hard timeouts so it can never hang.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Introduce AkhConfig as the persisted identity of one akh, the config layer the
pure-ACP harness pivot needs. Embeds WorkspaceConfig via #[serde(flatten)] so a
legacy per-workspace TOML loads unchanged (every akh field is #[serde(default)],
and WorkspaceConfig has no deny_unknown_fields — get_engine's seed loading is
untouched).

New (src/akh_config.rs):
- AkhConfig: model pin, ollama_endpoint (Local | Cloud{base_url, env:VAR api_key}),
  authoritative system_prompt, is_main, related_workspaces, autonomy (off by
  default), delegation, path_mode. related_workspaces/autonomy/delegation/path_mode
  are parsed now, consumed by later phases (P4/P5/P6).
- AkhConfigError with akh-specific miette diagnostics; load/save; round-trips
  under toml 0.8 (flatten + internally-tagged enum + tables-last).
- to_model_manager_config(): maps endpoint + model pin + system_prompt into a
  ModelManagerConfig.

Cloud Ollama (src/agent/ollama.rs):
- OllamaConfig.api_key + resolved_api_key() with env:VAR expansion; Bearer header
  in generate/health_check/hint_unload. An unset env:VAR logs a warning and sends
  NO auth header (never a malformed `Bearer env:VAR`). Local endpoints unchanged.

Prompt unification (src/agent/model_manager.rs):
- ModelManagerConfig.system_prompt + one assemble_system_prompt(): an explicit,
  non-empty prompt is authoritative (verbatim, no psyche framing); otherwise the
  psyche-derived prompt is the fallback. load_agent routes through it.

Wiring (src/bin/akhomed.rs):
- ServerState.akh_configs cache + get_akh_config(); get_agent() builds a
  per-workspace AgentModelManager pinned to the akh's model + prompt and registers
  it on the OWNED agent before sharing — no agent lock held across an await
  (ADR-027). Missing/legacy akh.toml reproduces today's behaviour.

Note: production response generation is still symbolic; routing chat inference
through the pinned model is P2's session/prompt hookup. P1 lands and tests the
config + model-manager layer (model pin + explicit prompt are correctly assembled
per akh; cloud key resolves from env).

Docs: plan doc (docs/ai/plans/2026-06-14-pivot-acp-agentic-harness.md) and ADR 053.

Verified: full no-candle suite green (lib 2449, integration 105, generate_qa 12,
benchmark_chat 6, hermeticity 4, persistence 5, doctests 6; 0 failures). Adversarial
review workflow (47 agents) found no critical/serious defects; 3 improvements
applied (env:VAR token hardening, dedicated error type, missing-config log).

Anima will consume the illumos akh runner over ACP, so akh-medu must not depend
on Anima being provisioned. Agents ingest the ACP plan/ADRs into Seshat only;
the operator manages Anima work items by hand.

Grow the P0 ACP spike into the P2 transport core (still behind the off-by-default
`acp` feature, lib-only — no akhomed/bin changes yet):

- AcpSink: MessageSink — streams each AkhMessage to the client as its own
  session/update. Visible content (Fact/Narrative/System/ToolResult/Prompt/Error)
  → AgentMessageChunk; introspective content (Reasoning/Gap/GoalProgress/AuditLog)
  → AgentThoughtChunk. Replaces the spike's render-to-one-string. Sends are
  best-effort (logged, not raised) since MessageSink::emit is infallible.
- run_prompt → run_turn: returns the structured Vec<AkhMessage>; the prompt
  handler emits via AcpSink only AFTER the spawn_blocking guards drop (ADR-027).
- TCP transport: serve_tcp_stream mirrors serve_stream (set_nodelay + compat
  bridge); the JSON-RPC byte protocol is transport-agnostic, so Unix and TCP
  share one dispatch path.
- Production accept loops: serve_unix_loop / serve_tcp_loop — task-per-connection
  against the cheap-to-clone (Arc-backed) AkhAcpAgent, with a watch-channel
  shutdown; a failed connection logs and is dropped without tearing down the loop.

Tests (real sockets, multi-thread runtime + hard timeouts):
- acp_tcp_prompt_turn — full lifecycle over TCP (Unix/TCP parity).
- acp_unix_accept_loop_serves_multiple_connections — two clients on one loop,
  then clean watch-channel shutdown.
- to_session_update_routes_variants — mapping unit test.
- acp_unix_socket_prompt_turn — original spike test, still green.
All 4 pass in ~5s under --no-default-features --features acp.

Deferred to P2 increments 2-3: WorkspaceProvider over akhomed ServerState +
daemon wiring (Unix+TCP listeners alongside REST) + discovery record; the
_akh/* extension-method data-plane (note: AgentCapabilities has no _meta field,
so capability groups will use a custom _akh/meta/capabilities ext method).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The daemon now brings up the ACP transport behind the `acp` feature, sharing the
same Arc<ServerState> as the REST/WS server during the migration to ACP-only.
When built without `acp`, the daemon is REST/WS-only exactly as before (verified:
--features mcp compiles clean).

- akhomed::start_acp_server (cfg acp): resolves the akh's shared engine + agent
  (ADR-027) and builds a ChatProcessor from a cheap clone of the cached NLU
  pipeline (Arc-shared models — no second model load), then binds a Unix socket
  ({runtime_dir}/akhomed-acp.sock by default) and an optional TCP listener and
  spawns the tested serve_unix_loop / serve_tcp_loop accept loops. A failed
  workspace-open or bind disables that transport and logs — never fatal.
- main(): spawns ACP before serve with a watch-channel shutdown; the existing
  graceful-shutdown closure signals it first, joins the accept loops (3s each),
  and unlinks the socket. The workspace defaults to the first auto_start akh
  (else "default"), overridable via [acp].workspace.
- config: new [acp] section (unix on by default, socket_path/tcp_bind/tcp_port/
  workspace optional; AcpSection::tcp_addr()).
- discovery: ServerInfo gains acp_socket/acp_tcp/acp_version (all
  #[serde(default, skip_serializing_if=None)] — a pre-ACP record still parses).
  write_pid_file takes the ACP endpoints; the record is republished once the
  listeners bind.

Tests: client back-compat + round-trip (None omitted); config round-trip covers
the [acp] section. Full suite green under --features acp,mcp (lib 2455,
integration 105, +others; 0 failures) and the default --features mcp build is
unaffected.

Deferred to P2 (3/3): the _akh/* extension-method data-plane (capabilities via a
custom _akh/meta/capabilities ext method, since AgentCapabilities has no _meta).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
First client-side increment of the pure-ACP pivot: the CLI can now talk to a
running akh purely over ACP, with a reusable client primitive the rest of P3
(data-plane _akh/* methods, TUI) will build on.

Library (src/acp/mod.rs, `acp` feature):
- run_session() — connect over a transport, initialize, start ONE persistent
  session, then hand the started ActiveSession + the agent ConnectionTo to a
  caller closure. Encodes the crate's lifetime rule: the connection lives only
  for the closure, so an interactive loop must run inside it (and a single
  session supports many send_prompt turns).
- chat_over_unix / chat_over_tcp — connect (Unix socket / TCP host:port) and run
  a session closure. New AcpError::Connect for connect failures.
- run_headless_chat_unix / _tcp — a self-contained stdin/stdout chat loop
  (async tokio stdin; /quit or Ctrl-D to exit). Kept in the lib so the CLI need
  not depend on agent-client-protocol directly.

CLI (src/main.rs, gated by `acp`):
- `akh chat --headless` now prefers a running daemon: if one is discovered and
  advertises an ACP endpoint (acp_socket / acp_tcp from the discovery record),
  it connects over ACP and runs the headless loop; otherwise it falls through to
  today's local-engine ChatProcessor. Non-headless (TUI) is unchanged — the
  pure-ACP TUI is a later P3 increment.

Test: acp_client_persistent_session_two_prompts drives TWO prompt turns over ONE
connection/session against the in-process server (real Unix socket, multi-thread
runtime + hard timeout). Full suite green under --features acp,mcp (lib 2456,
integration 105; 0 failures); the akh bin compiles with `acp` both on and off.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`akh chat` (interactive TUI) now talks to a running akh over the Agent Client
Protocol. RemoteChat's transport is selected at compile time:

- with `acp`: an ACP session over the daemon's Unix socket / TCP endpoint
  (from the discovery record's acp_socket/acp_tcp) — the pure-ACP path.
- with `daemon` only (no `acp`): the legacy WebSocket connection, kept verbatim
  as a fallback during migration (deleted in P8).

Both impls expose the IDENTICAL RemoteChat API (connect / send_input /
send_command / try_recv / is_disconnected), so tui/mod.rs and the ChatBackend
enum are untouched — the TUI is transport-agnostic.

ACP backend internals mirror the WS one: a background thread runs a tokio
runtime and ONE persistent ACP session (via crate::acp::chat_over_unix/tcp);
user inputs from the sync mpsc channel become session/prompt turns, and each
turn's answer text is relayed back as a narrative AkhMessage the TUI polls with
try_recv. Slash commands report "not yet available over ACP" pending the _akh/*
data-plane. Connection loss surfaces as an error message then disconnects.

Test: remote_chat_relays_prompt_over_acp drives a real prompt through the TUI
backend against an in-process ACP server over a Unix socket and asserts the
answer comes back on the sync channel (stable across repeated runs). Compiles
under daemon+acp (ACP), daemon-only (WS), and acp-only; full lib suite green
under --features daemon,acp (2445 passed, 0 failed).

Note: the ACP daemon serves its configured akh, so `chat -w <ws>` is advisory
over ACP for now; per-session workspace routing lands with the _akh/* data-plane.

Establish the custom JSON-RPC extension channel the non-chat CLI commands will
ride. ACP routes any `_`-prefixed method to an extension channel, but the method
name is dynamic and doesn't fit the crate's fixed-method typed-request model, so
the data-plane uses a single custom request type (AkhExtRequest) whose
matches_method claims the `_akh/` prefix — the pattern the crate's own
EchoRequestResponse test uses.

Server (src/acp/mod.rs):
- AkhExtRequest / AkhExtResponse implementing JsonRpcMessage/Request/Response.
- build_connection gains an on_receive_dispatch_from catch-all (after the typed
  initialize/session handlers) that MatchDispatch-es _akh/* requests to
  dispatch_akh(engine, method, params). Read-only engine access needs no agent
  lock; future mutating ops route through spawn_blocking (ADR-027).
- First two methods: _akh/health (status + symbol/triple counts) and
  _akh/meta/capabilities (advertises the data-plane — fills the gap left by
  AgentCapabilities having no _meta field). New ops = extend dispatch_akh; the
  transport stays fixed.

Client (src/acp/mod.rs):
- ext_request_unix / ext_request_tcp: one-shot connect → initialize → ext request
  → result, the stateless shape that fits CLI data commands (no chat session).

Test: acp_ext_health_and_capabilities drives health + capabilities + an
unknown-method error over a real Unix socket. Full suite green under
--features acp,mcp (lib 2458, integration 105; 0 failures).

Remaining P3: extend dispatch_akh per command group (symbols/triples/query/...)
and add an AkhClient::Acp CLI variant calling ext_request — mechanical now that
the mechanism is proven.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Grow the data-plane with its first real engine-backed group and expose it
through the CLI, end-to-end over ACP.

Server (dispatch_akh, src/acp/mod.rs) — now passed the workspace name:
- _akh/workspace/status → { workspace, symbols, triples }
- _akh/symbols/list { limit? } → { count, returned, symbols: [SymbolMeta] }
- _akh/triples/from { symbol } → { symbol, triples: [{predicate, object, confidence}] }
  (label-resolved via resolve_symbol/resolve_label/triples_from; read-only, no
  agent lock). _akh/meta/capabilities updated to advertise the new groups.

CLI (src/main.rs): new `akh acp <op>` subcommand — status | capabilities |
symbols [--limit] | triples <symbol>. Self-contained run_acp_command discovers
the daemon, sends the matching _akh/* request via acp::ext_request_unix/tcp, and
pretty-prints the JSON. Handled in both the normal and client-only dispatch
sites; cfg-split so a non-acp `akh` build bails with a clear message.

Tests: acp_ext_introspection_group covers all three methods + a missing-param
error over a real Unix socket. Live-verified against a running daemon:
`akh acp status` → {symbols:456,triples:396}, `acp symbols`, `acp triples`,
`acp capabilities` all return engine-backed JSON over ACP. Full suite green
under --features acp,mcp (lib 2459, integration 105; 0 failures); akh bin
compiles with acp on, off, and default.

Pattern proven for the remaining groups: add a dispatch_akh arm + an AcpOp
variant. (Pre-existing, unrelated: the `client-only` bin build is non-exhaustive
for Commands::Cluster and SkillAction::Export/Import — flagged separately.)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The `akh` binary is a client of `akhomed` (requires the server; compilable
independently). ADR-057 captures this — affirming that the `client-only`
behaviour is the *correct* default, and that the `client-only` feature flag plus
the embedded-engine local mode are transitional artifacts to be removed in the
ACP mode-collapse (P3 finish → P8), where local + REST/WS + ACP client paths
become one ACP client path. Supersedes the build-model premise of ADR-023.

Stopgap so the tree compiles in every shipped config (pre-existing breakage: the
`client-only` and `client-only,acp` builds did not compile — run_client_only's
dispatch was non-exhaustive):
- run_client_only now handles SkillAction::Export / Import — local filesystem
  operations (archive/unarchive a skill dir), implemented locally exactly as the
  full build does, since they need no server or engine.
- run_client_only now handles Commands::Cluster with a clear "requires a local
  engine; not available in client-only mode" bail (cluster ingest needs a local
  Engine, which client-only strips).

Verified: `--features client-only` and `--features client-only,acp` both compile
(0 errors); the parallel run_client_only dispatch is deleted wholesale in the
collapse, so this is a stopgap, not new surface. acp,mcp lib suite green (2459).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A parallel branch (claude/musing-williamson-c15090) already committed
057-code-understanding-kg.md and renumbered live-training → 058. Yield the
number: this ADR (akh client/server split, retire client-only in the collapse)
becomes 059. Updated the header + the two `ADR-057` references in
run_client_only comments.

Note: the Seshat copy was ingested under slug akh-medu-adr-057-akh-client-server-split
before the rename; its content is correct but labeled 057. Seshat has no
upsert/delete (see memory), so that entry stays as-is; the repo file (059) is the
source of truth.

First mutating data-plane group. Engine KG writes are &self (internally
synchronized), so — like the reads — they need no agent lock and no
spawn_blocking; they persist immediately. Unguarded for now; a permission layer
(session/request_permission) lands in P4.

Server (dispatch_akh):
- _akh/triples/add { subject, predicate, object, confidence? } →
  engine.ingest_label_triples + persist; returns {symbols_added, triples_added}.
- _akh/symbols/create { label, kind? } → resolve_or_create_entity/relation +
  persist; returns {id, label, kind}. capabilities updated.

CLI: `akh acp add-triple <s> <p> <o> [--confidence]` and
`akh acp create-symbol <label> [--kind]`.

Tests: acp_ext_write_group adds a triple, reads it straight back via
triples/from, and creates a symbol (real Unix socket). Live-verified end-to-end:
`akh acp add-triple Moon orbits Earth` → triples_added:1, then `akh acp triples
Moon` shows it; `akh acp create-symbol Mars` → id:458. Full suite green under
--features acp,mcp (lib + integration; 0 failures); akh bin compiles with acp.

The test (added in 1e905d3) asserted the seeded "Sun" was within a
`symbols/list { limit: 50 }` page. But a fresh Engine also registers hundreds of
built-in symbols (tool schemas, agent:/contact:/tool: predicates), so a bounded
limit returns an arbitrary 50 (DashMap order) that usually excludes Sun — the
test was flaky (passed under --features acp where fewer symbols register, and
intermittently under acp,mcp). The `symbols/list` method is correct (return up
to `limit`, by design); only the test's assumption was wrong.

Fix: request all symbols (large limit, assert count == returned) so the seeded
Sun is guaranteed in the set. Verified deterministic: 5/5 runs pass; full suite
green under --features acp,mcp (lib 2460, integration 105; 0 failures).

Note: 1e905d3 shipped with this flaky test — its "full suite green" claim was
wrong (the commit was pushed before the suite result was checked). This commit
restores green; product code (dispatch_akh write group) was unaffected.

Read-only query group. _akh/query/sparql { query } runs engine.sparql_query (a
SPARQL SELECT) and returns { count, solutions: [{var: value, ...}] }. SPARQL
requires a persistent engine (the daemon's workspaces have a data-dir; the error
is surfaced cleanly otherwise). capabilities advertise the "query" group.

CLI: `akh acp query "<SPARQL SELECT>"`.

Tests: acp_ext_query_sparql builds a persistent (tempdir-backed, SPARQL-enabled)
engine, seeds a triple, and asserts a SELECT returns ≥1 solution over a real
Unix socket. Live-verified: `akh acp query "SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
LIMIT 3"` against the daemon returns bound solutions. Full suite green (verified
before commit) under --features acp,mcp: lib 2500, integration 105; 0 failures.
akh bin compiles with acp.

Data-plane groups now: meta, workspace, symbols, triples, query.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add the episodic-recall read group to the ACP data-plane, mirroring the
memory_recall tool the agent runs on itself: resolve the requested query
symbols and recall episodes linked to them, falling back to a pure recency
scan when none resolve.

- dispatch_akh: new memory/recall arm. AgentPredicates::init is
  resolve-or-create on &Engine (idempotent — the agent already created
  these relations), so recall needs no agent lock per ADR-027. Accepts a
  comma-separated query and/or a symbols array + top_k; reports
  unresolvable labels in `unresolved` so callers distinguish a typo from
  empty memory. EpisodicEntry isn't Serialize, so episode_to_json projects
  it to a label-anchored object (symbol/learnings/tags resolved to labels).
- meta/capabilities: advertise the "memory" group + _akh/memory/recall.
- CLI: akh acp recall [--query "Sun,Star"] [--limit N].

Add the spreading-activation inference read group to the ACP data-plane.

- dispatch_akh: new infer/activate arm. engine.infer takes &self (the
  optional provenance-ledger write is internally synchronized), so this is
  a pure read — no agent lock per ADR-027. Accepts seeds as a
  comma-separated string and/or a JSON array, plus top_k / max_depth /
  min_confidence; resolves seeds to SymbolIds, reporting unresolvable ones
  in `unresolved`. Unlike recall there is no recency fallback, so an
  all-unresolvable seed set is a clean error rather than a silent empty
  result. Projects InferenceResult.activations to {symbol,score} (labels
  resolved) and reports provenance_records count.
- meta/capabilities: advertise the "infer" group + _akh/infer/activate.
- CLI: akh acp infer <seeds> [--limit N] [--depth N] [--min-confidence F].
- test: acp_ext_infer_activate seeds from "Sun" over a real Unix socket and
  asserts ≥1 well-formed activation; an unresolvable seed errors cleanly.

Data-plane groups now: meta, workspace, symbols, triples, query, memory, infer.

Re-back ToolInput.params as serde_json::Map<String, Value> so tool inputs
can carry structured values (numbers, bools, arrays, nested objects) — the
foundation for the task-list tool's array-of-tasks and typed args generally.

The migration is a backward-compatible SHIM, not a big-bang, because the
blast radius is load-bearing (per the P4 understand pass): ~197 .with_param
sites, ~88 get/require sites, the flat {string:string} JSON WASM wire
contract (wasm_runtime.rs:263), the CliTool argv mapping, and trigger params
persisted as HashMap<String,String>.

Preserved verbatim (zero churn at call sites):
- with_param(k, v: impl Into<String>) now stores Value::String.
- get/require still return &str — Some only when the value is a JSON string,
  matching historical string-map semantics.
- to_string(&params) at the WASM boundary is byte-identical for string-only
  params (verified: wasm-tools build is clean).

Added (additive, for new/structured tools):
- with_value(k, impl Into<Value>), get_value -> Option<&Value>
- get_bool / get_i64 / get_u64 / get_f64 — accept a JSON value OR the legacy
  string encoding (e.g. "true"/"1"/"yes", "5", "0.1"), so existing callers
  that pass numbers/bools as strings keep working.
- get_str_list — JSON string array OR comma-separated string (the tags /
  query_symbols / subjects legacy encoding).
- From<HashMap<String,String>> for ToolInput (trigger/MCP string-map sources).

Only break sites: 6 raw `ToolInput { params }` struct literals in
tests/integration.rs → ToolInput::from(params). All else compiles untouched.

New src/fs/ with a Filesystem trait and a LocalFs backend that confines reads
and writes to explicit allow-lists of roots with symlink-safe canonical
containment. Read-roots and write-roots are SEPARATE, so an akh can read
across its workspace while writes stay confined to a narrower scratch area —
and neither defaults to "anywhere".

Closes the two holes the P4 understand pass confirmed in FileIoTool:
- read path applied NO containment (read_to_string on any caller path —
  /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa). Now read-sandboxed.
- write path canonicalized only the PARENT and fell back to a non-canonical
  prefix compare, so a symlinked leaf or `..` tail escaped. Now: `..`
  rejected outright, and the deepest existing ancestor is canonicalized
  (resolving symlinks in the real prefix) before the containment check.

FileIoTool now holds an Arc<dyn Filesystem> instead of Option<PathBuf> and
delegates all path handling to it. Wiring:
- agent: reads sandboxed to data_dir, writes to data_dir/scratch (preserves
  the prior write-confinement; tightens reads). No data dir → LocalFs::denied
  (fail closed).
- tool_semantics lightweight registry → LocalFs::denied.
- file_io integration tests → LocalFs::sandbox(scratch).

FsError is a miette Diagnostic (OutsideSandbox / Traversal / WritesDisabled /
Io) with codes + help. 6 sandbox tests incl. a symlink-escape case.

NOTE: write roots stay at scratch for now; widening to the workspace/project
root for the coding tools is config policy (path_prefix), landing with the
permission layer (P4.4/5). The other unguarded ingest reads (text/csv/journal/
code/pattern_mine) route through the sandbox next (P4.2b).

Add five Claude-Code-parity agent tools (built in parallel, integrated +
verified centrally):

- edit (Dangerous; Read+WriteFilesystem): exact-string find-and-replace;
  unique-match by default, replace_all to force all; reads+writes via the
  sandbox.
- glob (Cautious; ReadFilesystem): glob→regex match over a sandboxed
  fs.read_dir walk; honours ** / * / ? without crossing `/`.
- grep (Cautious; ReadFilesystem): regex search via fs walk + fs.read_to_string;
  files_with_matches / content / count modes; skips binary/huge files.
- web_search (Cautious; Network): keyless DuckDuckGo HTML via ureq+scraper,
  decodes the uddg redirect; no network in tests.
- task_list (Safe): TodoWrite-style structured working state — a JSON array
  of {content,status,active_form} via the new get_value/with_value;
  Arc<Mutex<Vec<TaskItem>>> shared state (DelegateTool pattern).

Security: Glob/Grep walk ONLY via the injected Arc<dyn Filesystem>
(fs.read_dir / read_to_string / read_roots) — verified no raw std::fs, no
std::process, no unsafe in any tool. Edit shares the same sandbox handle as
file_io, so writes stay confined to the akh's write-roots (fail-closed under
LocalFs::denied). Failures are Ok(ToolOutput::err); Err only for missing
required params.

Wiring: registered in register_builtin_tools (edit/glob/grep share fs.clone();
task_list gets fresh shared state); tool_registry_crud count tripwire bumped
29→34 / 30→35 with per-name assertions.

Fixes from the adversarial review pass (workflow wb159do22). The LocalFs
sandbox containment itself was confirmed sound (no escape); these are DoS /
panic / correctness defects:

- HIGH (pre-existing, audit wrapper around EVERY tool call): truncate_summary
  byte-sliced `&s[..200]`, panicking when byte 200 splits a multibyte char.
  Reachable now that web_search/grep return arbitrary text into audit
  summaries; it unwinds past the OODA tool-error isolation. Now truncates on a
  char boundary. + multibyte test.
- HIGH (grep stack overflow): collect_files had no depth/cycle guard, so an
  in-root symlink cycle (loop -> root, common in real trees) recursed forever
  (the file cap never trips on a dir-only cycle) and aborted the process. Now:
  skip symlinks (find/ripgrep default) + MAX_DEPTH=64 backstop.
- MEDIUM (grep OOM): the 1MB cap ran AFTER read_to_string materialized the
  whole file. Now check fs.file_size() BEFORE reading; skip oversized.
- MEDIUM/LOW (glob): same no-follow-symlinks fix kills result inflation from
  symlink cycles (bogus loop/loop/... dupes crowding out real matches under
  the cap) and the leaf-symlink path-existence disclosure. Also skip non-UTF8
  names (lossy names can't be re-opened).

New Filesystem trait methods (kept all walks behind the sandbox abstraction):
  fn file_size(&Path) -> FsResult<u64>   (read-sandboxed metadata len)
  fn is_symlink(&Path) -> bool           (symlink_metadata, does not follow)

Not changed (reviewed, deemed correct/low): Edit's non-overlapping-match
semantics (consistent count/replace, matches Claude Code); glob `**`
mid-segment permissiveness (advertised patterns unaffected). task_list and
web_search: zero findings.

New src/agent/permission.rs: a PermissionPolicy that gates side-effecting
tools by PermissionMode, decided synchronously from each tool's manifest
(capability set + danger level) — no client round-trip needed to allow/deny.

Modes:
- Bypass (DEFAULT): allow everything — a standalone autonomous akh is
  unaffected, so no existing behaviour/test changes.
- Standard: reads/safe run; filesystem-write / KG-write / process-exec /
  network require approval (Ask).
- AcceptEdits: filesystem edits auto-approved; other side effects Ask.
- Plan: read-only — any side-effecting tool is denied.

Wired into ToolRegistry::execute (the single dispatch chokepoint): the gate
runs before dispatch; Deny / unapproved-Ask return a FAILED ToolOutput
(not Err), preserving the OODA loop's tool-error isolation. New setters
set_permission_mode / permission_mode / set_permission_asker.

Ask is resolved via an optional PermissionAsker trait (sync, may block) — the
seam where P4.5's ACP session/request_permission bridge plugs in. With no
asker attached, Ask fails closed.

Tests: 4 policy-decision unit tests + a registry wiring test (Plan denies a
WriteFilesystem tool; Bypass allows it).

A supervising ACP client (Anima) can now set the akh's tool-permission mode
and read its fs/terminal capabilities — wiring the P4.4 PermissionPolicy into
the ACP session.

- `_akh/permission/mode` data-plane method: GET (no param) reports the active
  mode; SET (`{mode: "..."}`) changes it. This is the FIRST data-plane op that
  mutates the agent, so it takes the agent lock inside spawn_blocking (ADR-027)
  in the dispatch handler — NOT the read-only sync dispatch_akh. Unknown mode →
  clean invalid_params error. Modes: bypass | standard | accept_edits | plan.
- Agent::set_permission_mode / permission_mode delegate to the tool registry,
  so the mode persists and a subsequent prompt turn's run_cycle tool calls are
  gated by it.
- initialize handler now captures req.client_capabilities into
  AkhAcpAgent.client_caps (fs.read_text_file / write_text_file / terminal) —
  ready for the Remote-FS path (deferred (c)); inert otherwise.
- meta/capabilities advertises the "permission" group + the method.
- CLI: `akh acp permission-mode [--set <mode>]`.
- test: acp_ext_permission_mode_get_set drives GET → bypass, SET → plan,
  GET → persisted, unknown → error, over a real Unix socket.

Next (P4.5b): the interactive PermissionAsker bridge (spawn_blocking ↔ async
session/request_permission) so `Ask` decisions prompt the client instead of
failing closed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the PermissionPolicy returns Ask (Standard / AcceptEdits modes), the tool
now prompts the supervising ACP client via session/request_permission instead
of failing closed.

The bridge crosses the ADR-027 boundary: tools run inside spawn_blocking under
the agent mutex (no .await allowed), but request_permission is an async call on
ConnectionTo<Client>. So:
- AcpPermissionAsker (a sync PermissionAsker) is installed on the agent's tool
  registry for the duration of a prompt turn. Its ask() builds a one-shot,
  blocking_send()s a PermissionAskRequest over an mpsc channel, and
  blocking_recv()s the decision — correct because it runs on a blocking thread.
- serve_permission_asks runs concurrently on the async handler holding cx +
  session_id: for each request it sends RequestPermissionRequest (a minimal
  ToolCallUpdate + Allow/Reject options) and relays the Selected outcome
  (allow → true; Cancelled / client error / reject → false, fail closed).
- The asker is cleared at end of turn, closing the channel so the approver
  task drains and ends. Under the default Bypass mode the asker is never
  invoked, so this is zero-cost there.

run_turn now takes Option<asker>; the prompt handler wires the channel +
approver task per turn.

test: permission_asker_bridge_relays_decision exercises the deterministic
spawn_blocking↔async relay (approve "edit", reject others). The full
mock-client request_permission round-trip is a follow-up integration test
(needs a prompt that deterministically triggers a gated tool); the ACP wire
types are type-checked by compilation.

The three single-file ingesters now route their reads through the akh's
Filesystem sandbox when registered for the agent, closing their read-anywhere
holes (text_ingest `file:` path, csv_ingest path, pattern_mine `source`-as-path).

- Each tool gains an `Option<Arc<dyn Filesystem>>` field: `None` (the
  `#[derive(Default)]`) = unsandboxed raw read, for operator-driven contexts
  (CLI `akh ingest`, daemon REST ingest, MCP, chat inline-text) where the human
  chose the path; `sandboxed(fs)` confines reads to the akh's roots.
- register_builtin_tools constructs all three with the agent's sandbox
  (`fs.clone()`), so an autonomous akh / ACP-driven prompt can't ingest
  `/etc/passwd`. With no data dir → LocalFs::denied → ingest reads fail closed.
- New `crate::fs::read_optional` / `exists_optional` helpers do the
  sandbox-or-raw branch in one audited place.
- All bare-value construction sites updated to `::default()` (CLI, daemon,
  chat, mcp, journal_ingest inline-text path, tests).
- test: text_tool_sandboxed_denies_outside_file proves a sandboxed tool denies
  a `file:` read outside its root and allows one inside.

DEFERRED (per ADR 060): the tree-walk/glob ingesters (code_ingest,
journal_ingest) still read raw — sandboxing those walks (like grep/glob) folds
into the LLM-assisted ingestion + subagent rework.

A fresh akh now runs zero background tasks; automation is opt-in at two
levels.

Coarse (which daemons start): `daemon.auto_start` defaults to `[]` (was
`["default"]`) — akhomed auto-starts no workspace daemon unless one is named
(or AKH_AUTO_START / --auto-start overrides).

Fine (which tasks a started daemon runs): `[autonomy]` on akh.toml. The master
`enabled` defaults false; a per-task `tasks` map overrides it, and an explicit
override ALWAYS wins — so `enabled=false` + `goal_generation=true` runs exactly
that one task (the plan's exit criterion). New AutonomyConfig::task_enabled.

- AgentDaemon gains an `autonomy` field (default master-off) + `with_autonomy`.
  Each cognitive select arm + the startup burst (causal-schema seed + initial
  goal generation) is gated by `task_enabled(<name>)`. `persist` (session
  durability) and `trigger` (user-authored triggers are opt-in by existing)
  stay always-on infra.
- akhomed threads each workspace's `akh.toml` [autonomy] into run_daemon_task
  at both daemon-start sites (auto-start loop + on-demand start).
- `akh daemon` (an explicit, deliberate invocation) enables the master switch —
  off-by-default applies to akhomed auto-start, not to a hand-started daemon.

Gated task names: equivalence, reflection, consolidation, schema_discovery,
rule_inference, gap_analysis, idle_cycle, continuous_learning, goal_generation,
sleep_cycle, knowledge_extraction, bridge_training, openclaw_sync,
knowledge_elicitation, kg_compaction, delegation, relation_enrichment.

NOTE: wiring DelegationConfig from TOML (also in the P5 plan) is left as
follow-on polish — orthogonal to the gating exit criterion.

The ACP socket tests (src/acp/mod.rs) and the TUI ACP relay test
(src/tui/remote.rs) bind real sockets and each run a multi-thread tokio
runtime. Under full-suite parallel load the runtimes oversubscribe the CPU, so
the fixed 15s operation timeouts (and the remote test's 10s response-poll
budget) occasionally tripped spuriously — the tests pass deterministically in
isolation. The timeouts only ever bound a genuine hang, not real latency
(a prompt turn finishes in well under a second).

- acp/mod.rs: operation timeouts 15s→60s, post-shutdown join waits 5s→30s,
  plus a module comment explaining why they're generous (don't tighten back).
- tui/remote.rs: socket-wait budget 2s→4s, response-poll budget 10s→30s.

Verified: `cargo test --no-default-features --features acp,mcp` run three
times consecutively — 0 failures each.

First increment of the ADR-061 ACP-only rip-out. Adds the server-level
control-plane seam: a dyn-compatible `ServerControl` trait (boxed-future
`dispatch`) the lib routes to, implemented over akhomed's `ServerState`.

Lib (src/acp/control.rs + mod.rs):
- `ServerControl` trait + `ControlFuture<'a>`; `CONTROL_METHODS` const +
  `is_control_method()` as the single source of truth.
- `AkhAcpAgent` gains `Option<Arc<dyn ServerControl>>` + `.with_control()`.
- Dispatch router peels off `_akh/{workspace,daemon,config}/*` to the backend
  before the per-workspace data-plane; clean "no backend" error when unwired.
- `_akh/meta/capabilities` reports `control_plane` + daemon/config groups +
  the 8 control methods only when a backend is present.

Binary (src/bin/akhomed.rs):
- `impl ServerControl for ServerState`: workspace/{list,create,delete},
  daemon/{start,stop,status} (explicit `workspace` param), config/{get,set}
  (whole AkhomedConfig; `set` requires a `config` key to avoid silent reset).
- Daemon lifecycle extracted to ServerState::{spawn_workspace_daemon,
  stop_workspace_daemon, daemon_status_snapshot}, shared by the REST handlers
  and the control-plane (no logic drift during the migration window).
- Wired the control backend into start_acp_server.

Additive — REST/WS/MCP unchanged; the tree works at this commit. Tests: 2 lib
routing (mock backend) + 4 bin (real ServerState/tempdir), all green. Builds
under default / mcp / mcp,acp.

`discover_server` now verifies liveness by connecting to the ACP transport the
daemon advertises (Unix socket preferred, TCP fallback) instead of `GET /health`
(ADR-061 P8.2). A successful connect proves the ACP accept loop is actually
serving — stronger than a bare `kill(pid, 0)`.

- New `acp_transport_alive(&ServerInfo)`: std-only (no async, no acp crate), so
  it works in every build; probes the Unix socket via let-chains, falls back to
  `TcpStream::connect_timeout`.
- The `GET /health` check survives only as a fallback for a legacy / ACP-disabled
  record (no `acp_*` transport). Removed entirely when REST is deleted (P8.4).
- akhomed already republishes the PID record with `acp_socket`/`acp_tcp` after
  `start_acp_server`, so an acp-enabled daemon discovers via the ACP probe.

Tests: live Unix socket ⇒ discovered; dead socket with a live PID ⇒ not; TCP
probe alive/refused. All green; no new clippy warnings.

ADR-061 increment 3. The `akh` CLI drops the ~15 cognitive command trees
(ingest/skill/render/agent/pim/cal/pref/causal/awaken/seed/library/wiki/
memory/memory-sync/cluster) — those capabilities are the agent LLM's own
tools now, reached by prompting the akh, not client subcommands. The surface
shrinks to the control-plane + chat keep-set:

  init · workspace {list,create,delete,info} · chat · acp <op>
  daemon {start,stop,status} · config {get,set} · service · setup

- New top-level `daemon` and `config` commands dispatch over the ACP
  control-plane (`_akh/daemon/*`, `_akh/config/*`) via a shared `acp_call`
  helper (extracted from `run_acp_command`). Daemon ops pass an explicit
  `workspace`; `config set --file` parses a TOML file to JSON (schema-agnostic;
  akhomed validates it as AkhomedConfig).
- `workspace` stays local-filesystem (WorkspaceManager) — workspace dirs are
  shared local state and `create` must work before any daemon exists
  (bootstrap). The P8.1 `_akh/workspace/*` methods remain for remote ACP
  clients (Anima). Dropped `workspace assign-role`/`cleanup`.
- Deleted the cognitive match arms in both dispatch paths, their `*Action`/
  value enums, and the orphaned helpers (dispatch_wiki, dispatch_memory_sync,
  print_daemon_status, format_timestamp, print_repl_status, the bootstrap
  printers, normal-mode resolve_client). main.rs: 5856 -> 973 lines.

AkhClient's cognitive methods + the REST `Remote` role stay (pub, no warnings)
until P8.4 deletes the REST server. Builds clean under default / acp /
client-only / client-only,acp; acp (15) + control-plane (4) + client (10)
tests green.

ADR-061 increment 4 — the big rip-out. akhomed no longer serves HTTP/WS; its
surface is ACP (control-plane + data-plane) plus the inbound MCP server (which
P8.5 removes). The CLI and TUI talk to it purely over ACP.

akhomed (src/bin/akhomed.rs, ~3700 lines gone):
- Deleted the ~104-route axum router + every REST handler, the WebSocket chat
  (ws_handler / handle_ws_session / process_ws_command / send_*), the bundled
  web-UI asset handlers + consts, and all REST request/response structs.
- The router collapses to an empty `Router` that hosts only the `#[cfg(mcp)]`
  `/mcp` nest; `axum::serve` + graceful-shutdown (which drains ACP loops + the
  workspace daemons) stay until MCP/axum are removed in P8.5.
- KEEP islands preserved: ServerState + its methods, run_daemon_task, the
  ServerControl impl (P8.1), start_acp_server. Trimmed imports accordingly.

client.rs:
- Deleted `AkhClient` (Local + Remote roles), all ~92 REST methods, the ureq
  helpers, `remote()`/`require_server()`, and `ClientError`/`ClientResult`.
- `discover_server` drops the `GET /health` fallback — ACP socket/TCP liveness
  is now the sole signal. Kept `ServerInfo`, discovery, `DaemonStatus`.

CLI (src/main.rs): retired the `client-only` code path — deleted
`run_client_only`, `resolve_client`, and the client-only dispatch in `main()`
(AkhClient no longer exists). The normal dispatch is now unconditional.

TUI: deleted the legacy WebSocket backend in `tui/remote.rs`; the remote chat
is ACP-only (the P3 `chat_over_unix`/`chat_over_tcp` backend). Re-gated the
remote-TUI cfgs (`ChatBackend::Remote`, `new_remote`, `launch_remote`, the akh
Chat arm) from `daemon` to `all(daemon, acp)`.

Deleted `data/web/*` (1.1k lines of bundled HTMX/Alpine UI).

NOTE: `src/agent/tools/agent_management.rs` was a second, undocumented REST
consumer (the ADR survey only counted client.rs). It still compiles but now
calls dead endpoints at runtime — filed as a follow-up to rewire it to the
`_akh/*` control-plane.

Builds clean across default / acp / mcp,acp / client-only / client-only,acp /
daemon,acp. Tests green: acp (15) + client (10) + control-plane (4) + tui
remote (1). No new clippy warnings.

ADR-061 increment 5. Removes akhomed's inbound MCP server (the rmcp
ServerHandler + StreamableHttpService /mcp nest) and the now-empty axum HTTP
surface, leaving ACP as the daemon's only inbound transport.

- Delete src/mcp/mod.rs (7135 lines): McpState, AkhMcpServer, ~90 *Params
  structs, the ServerHandler/tool_router impl, the triple (de)serializers.
- Relocate the two daemon-state types that leaked into the binary
  (PsycheSnapshotMap, DaemonPauseHandle) from the mcp module into akhomed.rs;
  WorkspaceStats was mcp-internal and dies with the module.
- akhomed main(): drop the empty Router + the #[cfg(mcp)] /mcp nest + the HTTP
  TcpListener bind; replace axum::serve(...).with_graceful_shutdown(...) with
  an inline ACP-only wait-then-drain (same shutdown body: stop ACP accept
  loops, drain workspace daemons, remove PID, force-exit on abort).
- lib.rs: drop `#[cfg(feature = "mcp")] pub mod mcp`.
- Cargo: remove the `mcp` feature and the `rmcp` dependency. rmcp stays in the
  workspace lock for crates/{heka,seshat}, which keep their own MCP servers;
  akh-medu no longer depends on it.

Outbound MCP to anima/seshat (UpstreamMcpClient — ureq-based, no rmcp) is
retained but was only reachable via the deleted inbound import_anima_project /
link_seshat_doc tools, so it is now dormant pending re-wiring as agent LLM
tools.

Green: cargo check {default, acp, daemon+acp, client-only, client-only+acp,
server+acp}; cargo test --features server,acp (2532 lib + integration suites,
0 fail). The new green gate is server,acp (was mcp,acp). No new warnings.

ADR-061 increment 6. With REST/WS/MCP gone (P8.4/P8.5), prune the dependency
tree and feature graph to the ACP-only shape.

- akhomed: replace the REST-era `(StatusCode, String)` error tuple in the four
  `ServerState` lazy-loaders with a plain `String` (the status code was already
  discarded by every consumer — the control-plane stringifies, auto-start and
  the ACP bootstrap ignore it). This drops the last `axum` use in akhomed.
- Delete src/api_types.rs (797 lines): the REST request/response DTOs shared by
  the deleted akhomed handlers + AkhClient. Zero consumers remained — and it
  held the last `#[cfg(not(feature = "client-only"))]` gates.
- Cargo deps dropped: axum, tower-http (REST), tokio-tungstenite (WS backend),
  reqwest (unused — only named in a peer.rs comment). Cargo.lock sheds reqwest's
  whole transitive tree (~270 lines: hyper-tls/native-tls/h2/system-configuration).
- Feature graph:
    daemon  = ["tokio"]                  (was +tokio-tungstenite, +futures-util)
    server  = ["daemon", "acp"]          (was +axum, +tower-http) — now "the
                                         akhomed daemon feature set"
    oxifed  = [..., "futures-util"]       (its real user; moved off daemon)
    default = ["nlu-candle", "acp"]       (acp default — the shipped `akh` CLI
                                         needs the daemon/config/acp commands)
    client-only                           retired (no-op since P8.4; gated nothing
                                         once api_types.rs was deleted)
- docker/akhomed.Dockerfile: drop the stale `mcp` from default FEATURES (gone
  in P8.5 — the akhomed image build was broken).

akhomed `required-features` stays `["server"]`, which now resolves to daemon+acp,
so `cargo build --features server` (release.yml, Dockerfile) keeps working and
now builds the ACP daemon. `server` is kept as a thin alias precisely so those
invocations don't break.

Green: cargo check {default, server, oxifed, no-default+nlu-candle, no-default+
daemon}; cargo test --features server (2532 lib + integration suites, 0 fail).
akhomed adds no new clippy warnings (the 2 collapsible_if in --auto-start
parsing predate P8).

ADR-061 increment 7. Fix the akhomed chart for the ACP-only daemon — it has no
HTTP surface anymore, so the existing chart could never become ready and never
persisted to its volume.

- akhomed: add AKH_ACP_TCP_PORT / AKH_ACP_TCP_BIND env overrides (mirrors the
  existing AKH_SERVER_* / AKH_AUTO_START pattern) so the chart enables + binds
  the ACP TCP listener without mounting a config.toml. Config defaults TCP off
  and tcp_bind to loopback; the chart sets 0.0.0.0 so the kubelet probe and the
  Service can reach it.
- probes: httpGet /status → tcpSocket on the ACP port. The old probe hit a
  nonexistent HTTP endpoint and could never pass.
- data path: the deployment set AKH_HOME=/data, but akhomed resolves dirs via
  XDG_* and never read AKH_HOME — engine data never landed on the PVC. Set HOME
  + XDG_{DATA,CONFIG,STATE,RUNTIME} under /data, and move the models mount to
  /data/akh-medu/models to match $XDG_DATA_HOME/akh-medu/models.
- Service + containerPort: expose the ACP TCP port (8201, name `acp`) instead
  of the dead http/8200.
- delete akhomed-ingress.yaml + the values ingress block: ACP is raw JSON-RPC
  over TCP, which an HTTP Ingress cannot route.
- drop the vestigial AKH_SERVER_{BIND,PORT} from values env (code defaults are
  identical; they only fed the now-meaningless PID port field).
- bump chart version 0.1.4 → 0.1.5 (CI publishes on version change).

Verified: helm lint + helm template render clean; cargo check --features server;
cargo test --features server green (2531/2532 — the lone fail is the known
parallel-load flake on tui::remote::remote_chat_relays_prompt_over_acp, fixed
next in P8.8).

ADR-061 increment 8 (symbolic test hardening). Root-causes and fixes the
recurring flake on tui::remote::remote_chat_relays_prompt_over_acp.

The relay was surfacing `ACP session ended: ... Connection refused (os error
61)`: under full-suite CPU load the daemon's listener wasn't accepting yet when
the client connected (the socket file exists from bind, but the accept loop
hadn't caught up), and chat_over_unix/chat_over_tcp did a single connect with no
retry — so one transient ECONNREFUSED aborted the whole session. The in-process
acp socket tests never saw it because they use a `connect_with_retry` *test*
helper; the TUI relay test goes through the real client, which didn't retry.

- acp: add connect_unix_retrying / connect_tcp_retrying — a bounded (~2s, capped
  backoff) retry over the transient startup errors ECONNREFUSED + ENOENT. Route
  all four daemon-connect entry points through them: chat_over_unix/_tcp (TUI +
  `akh chat`) and ext_request_unix/_tcp (the `akh acp`/`daemon`/`config` data
  commands). This also hardens a real client racing a still-starting daemon.
- add a regression test (connect_unix_retrying_rides_through_late_listener) that
  binds the listener ~120ms late and asserts the production retry still lands.

Verified: new test 3/3 isolated; 6 consecutive full-lib-suite runs green (the
flake hit ~1/3 of runs before); cargo test --features server = 2533 lib +
integration suites, 0 fail. No new clippy warnings in acp.

- architecture.md: bump to P8-complete (ACP is akhomed's sole inbound transport).
  Module Map drops the retired src/mcp/, src/api_types.rs, data/web/ + the WS TUI
  backend (adds src/acp/ + upstream_client.rs); rewrite the ACP section (P0–P8,
  feature graph: acp default, server = daemon+acp, client-only retired); delete
  the obsolete Client-Only Build Mode section; fix Deployment topology (binaries,
  ACP daemon not axum HTTP, _akh/daemon/status, ACP-TCP Service / no akhomed
  ingress, stale smoke-test.sh flagged).
- ADR-061: Accepted → Implemented (commits 9e1c00e…8547069).
- pivot plan: status → P8 complete; P6/P7 not started.

Wire the akh's pinned Ollama model (local or ollama.com cloud, per-akh
akh.toml) into ACP chat with a tool-calling loop — the parked "P2 LLM
response generation". Previously session/prompt ran only the symbolic
ChatProcessor, and the pinned model's only entry point had zero callers.

- ollama.rs: OllamaClient::chat(messages, tools) -> AssistantTurn
  {content, tool_calls}; parse /api/chat tool_calls.
- model_manager.rs: chat_with_tools(agent_id, conversation, tools) —
  prepends the akh's cached system prompt; Ollama-only (no remote fallback).
- agentic_chat.rs (new): Agent::run_agentic_turn — exposes every tool
  manifest to the model, loops chat → ToolRegistry::execute → feed-back
  until a final answer or 8 rounds, returns AkhMessages narrating the turn.
  Returns None when no backend is reachable (no model manager / Ollama
  down), so the caller falls back to symbolic chat — purely additive.
- acp/mod.rs: run_turn tries run_agentic_turn, falls back to process_input;
  the per-turn permission asker (ADR-060) gates tool calls in both paths.

The whole turn is synchronous inside the existing spawn_blocking (ADR-027);
no guard crosses an await. Tool execution stays permission-gated.

Green: cargo test --features server = 2537 lib + integration suites, 0 fail
(4 new unit tests). Test agents have no Ollama, so they exercise the
symbolic fallback unchanged.

Relax the cfg gates on the remote ACP chat backend from
all(feature = "daemon", feature = "acp") to just feature = "acp" — the
remote TUI talks to akhomed over ACP and does not require the daemon
feature to be enabled in the client build.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
get_akh_config hard-errored on any AkhConfig::load parse failure, so a
hand-written akh.toml missing the flattened required `name` field killed
the whole ACP server ("missing field name") even though the engine opened
fine. get_engine already tolerates a broken workspace TOML; this makes
get_akh_config symmetric: log a tracing::warn! naming the file and the
parse error, then fall back to name-only defaults. The warning notes that
akh-level settings (model pin, system prompt, endpoint) are dropped until
the file is fixed, so a real misconfiguration stays visible.

Adds a unit test: a default.toml with only `model` + an [ollama_endpoint]
table (no name) loads with the name defaulted to the workspace rather than
erroring.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per the ACP-only pivot, `akh` no longer opens a local engine for anything:
- chat → ACP-only (run_chat_acp): discover the daemon, connect over ACP (TUI or
  --headless); error with a clear "start akhomed" message if none is running.
  Removes the local-engine fallback that collided with the daemon's redb lock.
- workspace list/create/delete/info → the daemon's _akh/workspace/* control
  plane (run_workspace_acp); akh never touches a workspace on disk.
- remove `akh init` and the --data-dir/--dimension/--language global flags +
  the local EngineConfig setup.

akhomed self-bootstraps: on boot it auto-creates the workspace it will bind ACP
to (acp.workspace → first auto_start → "default") if missing, breaking the
chicken-and-egg (can't create the first workspace without a daemon; the daemon
won't serve ACP without a workspace).

New control method `_akh/workspace/info` (added to CONTROL_METHODS + ServerState
dispatch): opens the workspace and returns name + KG symbol/triple counts +
role + data dir.

Follow-up (next commit): delete the now-dead local TUI backend
(ChatBackend::Local / LocalBackend / tui::launch) — akh no longer references it.

Green: cargo check {akh default, server}; cargo test --features server (2537 lib
+ integration suites, 0 fail).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Completes the pure-ACP `akh` (the prior commit removed the local engine from the
CLI; `akh` no longer calls `tui::launch`). Deletes the now-dead local-engine TUI
backend from src/tui/mod.rs:

- Remove LocalBackend, AkhTui::new_local, and `pub fn launch` (the local entry).
- Collapse the ChatBackend enum: AkhTui holds `remote: RemoteChat` directly; the
  ~6 backend match sites become the remote path; the local-only idle / agent-tick
  helpers (on_idle, process_*_local, handle_command_local) are deleted.
- Gate the whole TUI app (AkhTui + impl + launch_remote) on
  `#[cfg(feature = "acp")]`; without `acp` the module exports nothing (akh only
  uses it under acp). Drop now-unused imports (Agent/AgentConfig/Engine/
  ChatProcessor/IdleScheduler/InboundHandle).

-289/+27 lines. No local mode remains anywhere in `akh`.

Green: cargo check {akh default, server, no-default+nlu-candle, no-default+
daemon}; cargo test --features server (2537 lib + integration suites, 0 fail).

Polish the ACP chat TUI:
- The input box now shows a live cursor at the end of the typed text.
- Remove the bottom status bar (cycles/symbols/goals/grammar) — those were
  local-engine stats, meaningless for a pure-ACP client. The header drops the
  grammar field too; the freed rows go to the message stream.
- Tool/agent steps collapse (opencode-style): a run of ToolResult messages
  renders as a one-line "▸ N steps (Tab to expand)" summary, collapsed by
  default; Tab toggles expansion. The agentic loop now emits one ToolResult per
  tool (call args folded into the result) and surfaces the model's intermediate
  reasoning as a collapsible "reasoning" step — so a multi-tool turn no longer
  buries the final answer (Narrative, always shown).
- Drop the dead /grammar command (grammar is server-side now).

Green: cargo check {akh default, server,bins}; cargo test --features server
(lib + integration suites, 0 fail).

Runtime model + reasoning-effort switching from the ACP chat TUI (the akh's
cloud model was overloaded). All changes flow through the daemon over ACP —
`akh` is a pure client with no local engine and can't touch akh.toml directly.

- ollama.rs: OllamaConfig.reasoning_effort (Option<String>); OllamaClient::chat
  sets `think: "<level>"` when set (gpt-oss/glm cloud reasoning); new
  OllamaClient::list_models() (GET /api/tags).
- akh_config.rs: AkhConfig.reasoning_effort, carried into the model-manager
  config and persisted in akh.toml.
- ACP control plane: `_akh/model/list` (current + effort + available models;
  graceful when a cloud endpoint 404s/empties /api/tags) and
  `_akh/model/set {workspace, model?, effort?}` (validates effort
  low|medium|high|off, persists akh.toml, rebuilds the running AgentModelManager
  under the agent lock per ADR-027 so the next chat turn uses it). Added to
  CONTROL_METHODS.
- TUI: ServerInfo threaded in; a one-shot control_call helper (ext_request over
  a fresh ACP connection). `/model <name>` and `/effort <level>` set over ACP;
  `/model` opens a centered popup picker (↑/↓/Enter/Esc) from model/list,
  graceful when the cloud lists nothing. `exit` now aliases `quit`.

Green: cargo check {akh default, server, no-default+nlu-candle}; cargo test
--features server (2685 passed; the lone integration flake
post_ingest_grounding_improves_similarity passes 3/3 isolated — pre-existing,
VSA-grounding under parallel load, unrelated to this change).

The /model popup now sorts the model list and filters it as you type:
printable chars extend a case-insensitive prefix filter (Backspace trims
it), narrowing the visible rows; ↑/↓/Enter operate on the filtered view.
The border title echoes the active filter.

Stream a chat turn live instead of dumping it at turn-end, show an
animated spinner while the akh is working, and render answers as Markdown.

Server:
- OllamaClient::chat_stream — `/api/chat` with `stream:true`, parsing the
  NDJSON delta frames; surfaces content vs `thinking` deltas as StreamEvents
  and accumulates tool_calls. ModelManager::chat_with_tools_streaming wraps it.
- Agent::run_agentic_turn now emits each piece (answer deltas, reasoning,
  tool steps) through a MessageSink the instant it is produced, with a
  non-streaming fallback per round. Sends are synchronous, so emitting from
  inside the spawn_blocking turn stays ADR-027-safe.
- ACP run_turn streams via a ChannelSink drained concurrently by the prompt
  handler into session/update notifications; tool steps now map to
  AgentThoughtChunk (collapsible) rather than the answer body.

Client:
- RemoteChat consumes session/update via read_update (ChatUpdate deltas +
  TurnEnd) instead of buffering with read_to_string.
- TUI accumulates answer deltas into one growing message, coalesces thinking
  deltas into a collapsible block, and shows an Egyptian-gold ankh spinner in
  the input border while a turn is in flight.
- New src/tui/markdown.rs renders headings/lists/code/emphasis to ratatui
  lines; narrative answers route through it.

Tests: chat_stream NDJSON parsing (mock HTTP server), 23 markdown unit tests,
and the end-to-end remote_chat ACP relay updated for the streaming path.

own conversation/memory context path. Adds a research note (8 transferable
principles, file:line map of current handling, naive/strong scorecard,
prioritized lessons) and ADR 064 (PROPOSED/deferred) that scopes the work

Plan and ADR for bringing OpenCode's TUI affordances to akh's own TUI:
context/usage meter, live goals/plan panel, capabilities panel, and a

Client-only first pass of the OpenCode-style TUI (plan
2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar, ADR 063):

- widgets::render now takes &AkhTui; body splits into the chat stream and a
  collapsible right sidebar (Context / Goals / Capabilities panels),
  toggled with ctrl+b and auto-hidden below 96 cols.
- New statusline footer: connection health · model · effort · git branch
  (with dirty flag) · daemon pid.
- Session title derived from the first prompt (summarize_title), shown in
  the header in place of the bare workspace name.
- ctrl+p command palette mirroring the model picker: substring-filtered
  /command — description list; arg-less commands run, arg commands prefill
  "/name ". COMMANDS is the single source for the palette and /help. Adds
  the /sidebar command.

Sidebar panels are scaffolds until the _akh/status feed lands (Phase B/C).
Adds 7 unit tests (summarize_title, CommandPalette::filtered). cargo build
--bin akh clean; 31 tui tests pass; 0 clippy warnings in src/tui/.

Daemon side of the OpenCode-style TUI sidebar (plan
2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar, ADR 063):

- dispatch_akh_agent: new agent-read path for _akh/goals, _akh/tools,
  _akh/projects, and the combined _akh/status snapshot. Reads the Agent
  behind try_lock so a sidebar refresh never blocks — nor stalls — a live
  turn (ADR-027 / ADR 063 §2): a held lock yields stale:true with empty
  agent fields.
- _akh/status returns goals + active plan + tools + projects + skills (+ a
  null usage placeholder for Phase D) in one round-trip; skills are
  engine-derivable and stay served even when stale.
- _akh/skills added to dispatch_akh (engine-only, no agent lock).
- All five methods advertised in _akh/meta/capabilities.
- Compact JSON projections (goals/tools/projects/skills/active plan) +
  stable status labels for StepStatus/PlanStatus.

Adds 3 unit tests (fresh snapshot, stale-when-busy, non-agent fall-through).
lib + akh + akhomed build clean; acp/tui suites green; 0 new clippy
warnings in touched files.

Makes the OpenCode-style sidebar live (plan 2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar,
ADR 063):

- src/tui/status.rs: typed StatusSnapshot + GoalView/PlanView/ToolView/
  SkillView/ProjectView, deserialized from _akh/status (unknown fields
  ignored so the wire format can grow). GoalView::status_label handles both
  the string and tagged-object forms of a serialized GoalStatus.
- remote.rs: a sibling "acp-status-poll" thread fetches _akh/status every
  ~1.5s over one-shot connections and delivers snapshots on a dedicated
  channel (kept off the chat channel so polling can't mask a lost chat
  session); RemoteChat::try_recv_snapshot coalesces to the latest.
- mod.rs: AkhTui.snapshot drained each loop; /goals and /status un-stubbed
  to fetch _akh/status and print a summary (no longer "not available over
  ACP").
- widgets.rs: Context (cycle + activity, token placeholder for Phase D),
  Goals (active-plan progress header + status-marked rows), and
  Capabilities (tool/skill counts + names) panels render from the snapshot;
  "connecting" placeholder before the first poll, graceful stale fallback.

Adds 2 status (de)serialization tests. akh + akhomed build clean; tui (33)
and acp (19) suites green; 0 new clippy warnings in touched files.

Phase 38 makes an Akh relocatable: truth-of-state lives in Postgres while the
daemon keeps oxigraph/petgraph/HNSW as an in-process cache. This is sub-phase
38a — the schema, SeaORM entities, migration runner, and pool plumbing. It does
not yet change the boot path; with no [postgres] config the daemon runs exactly
as today (legacy local-only mode).

This is the foundation for hosting Tecton as a first-class, identity-isolated
Akh instead of a contaminated second workspace.

New crate `crates/akhomed-store`:
- SeaORM entities for akhomed.* (akh, facts, mutation_log, snapshots, psyche,
  provenance, episodes) and workspaces.* (workspace, membership,
  active_microtheories), schema-qualified, with BIGINT[]/TEXT[] + JSONB columns.
- sea-orm-migration migrations creating both schemas, 10 tables, all indices,
  the facts_unique constraint; transactional with DROP SCHEMA CASCADE downs.
- `akhomed-migrate` CLI (URL from --url / DATABASE_URL / --config) with miette
  diagnostics and credential-redacted errors.
- Pool builder + StoreError (miette + thiserror per project convention).
- Dep flags mirror crates/seshat to keep the sea-orm/sqlx workspace lock aligned.

Daemon wiring:
- [postgres] config section (PostgresConfig: url/pool_size/connect_timeout_secs/
  migrate_on_start) in src/config.rs; DATABASE_URL overrides url. Runtime-optional.
- Pool plumbed into ServerState as Option; connected in akhomed main() via
  init_postgres with a clear warning + local-only fallback on absence/failure.
- Gated behind a new `postgres` cargo feature folded into `server`, so the lean
  `akh` client never compiles SeaORM.

Verification: migrations create both schemas/10 tables/all indices against a real
PG17 (idempotent re-run OK, provenance.inputs is bigint[]); 12 store tests + 3
config tests pass; default `akh` build does not pull SeaORM.

Plan: docs/ai/plans/2026-04-25-phase38-relocatable-akh.md; ADR 049.

Captures Ollama token counts and surfaces them through _akh/status into the
sidebar Context panel (plan 2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar, ADR 063):

- ollama.rs: AssistantTurn carries prompt_tokens/completion_tokens; chat()
  reads prompt_eval_count/eval_count from the response and chat_stream()
  reads them from the final ("done") NDJSON chunk.
- model_manager.rs: a UsageLedger (interior-mutable atomics) accumulates
  prompt/completion/turns + last-turn footprint across agentic turns;
  recorded in chat_with_tools and chat_with_tools_streaming; exposed via
  AgentModelManager::usage() -> UsageSnapshot.
- acp/mod.rs: usage_json reads the agent's model-manager usage; folded into
  _akh/status (was a null placeholder) and a new _akh/usage method, both
  advertised in _akh/meta/capabilities. None when no model manager attached.
- tui: UsageView gains context_tokens/turns; the Context panel renders
  "ctx N · M tok" (and "ctx N/W P%" once a window is known).

context_window is not yet wired (Phase D follow-up via Ollama /api/show), so
the meter shows absolute counts without a percentage for now.

Adds a UsageLedger unit test. lib + akh + akhomed build clean; ollama (10),
model_manager (25), acp (19), tui (33) suites green; no new clippy warnings
in touched files.

Every successful assert/retract now streams to akhomed.mutation_log within
seconds, so a relocated/recovered Akh can replay it (38c). Durability contract:
bounded loss on crash (only the un-flushed buffer, ≤ flush_interval × write
rate), no loss while Postgres is down (failed flushes retain + retry), bounded
memory (byte-capped buffer; overflow drops oldest non-assert first).

Core (ungated, no SeaORM dependency — the lean `akh` client is unaffected):
- src/mutation.rs: a small `MutationSink` trait + `MutationKind` taxonomy
  (assert/retract/microtheory_load/unload/compartment_create/destroy).
- Engine holds `OnceLock<Arc<dyn MutationSink>>`; records a mutation after a
  successful `add_triple` (Assert) and `remove_triple` (Retract).
  `add_triple_with_support` delegates to `add_triple`, so it is covered.

WAL (postgres-gated):
- src/wal.rs: `MutationLog` implements `MutationSink`. A synchronous,
  byte-capped `WalBuffer` (overflow drops oldest non-assert first, with a
  counter) feeds an async flusher that batches inserts every `flush_interval`.
  Failed flushes re-insert the batch at the front and retry — at-least-once
  delivery, which is safe because replay through `add_triple` is idempotent.
  The batch is removed from the buffer *before* the await so a concurrent
  overflow-drop can't delete an in-flight entry. Stable per-workspace
  Akh/workspace UUIDs via UUIDv5.
- akhomed-store: typed write API `ensure_akh` (idempotent, ON CONFLICT DO
  NOTHING) + `append_mutations` (batched multi-row insert). All SeaORM stays in
  the leaf crate; re-exports `sea_orm`/`uuid` for downstream raw queries.

Daemon wiring:
- ServerState::wire_wal installs the WAL per workspace on first load (ensuring
  the akhomed.akh FK row first); flushers drain on graceful shutdown.
- WAL tuning in [postgres]: wal_flush_interval_secs (2), wal_batch_size (64),
  wal_max_buffer_mb (16). The `postgres` feature now pulls in tokio.

Also fixes a pre-existing breakage: generate_qa_dataset.rs constructed `Psyche`
without the `ennead_role`/`ocean` fields, breaking the default build.

Verification: 5 WAL-buffer unit tests (take/reinsert order, overflow policy) +
3 mutation-taxonomy tests + 3 config tests, plus 2 live PG17 integration tests
(ensure_akh idempotency + append; full MutationLog record→buffer→flush→DB).

Plan: docs/ai/plans/2026-04-25-phase38-relocatable-akh.md (38b); ADR 049.

Closes the usage-meter percentage gap and adds a beyond-OpenCode cognitive
panel (plan 2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar, ADR 063).

Context-window %:
- ollama.rs: OllamaClient::context_length() fetches the model's window via
  /api/show (scans model_info for a *.context_length key; best-effort).
- model_manager.rs: AgentModelManager lazily fetches + caches the window
  once after the first turn (atomics, no hot-path cost); usage() now reports
  context_window. acp usage_json forwards it, so the Context panel renders
  "ctx N/W P%" when known (and "ctx N · M tok" otherwise).

Mind panel (Phase E):
- engine.rs: cheap symbol_count()/triple_count() (no clone) for frequent
  polling, unlike all_symbols()/all_triples().
- acp _akh/status gains kg {symbols,triples} (engine-derivable, present even
  when stale) + active_project (the focused microtheory's name).
- tui: StatusSnapshot gains kg + active_project; a new "Mind" sidebar panel
  shows KG size + active microtheory — internals OpenCode can't surface.

Tests updated (status round-trip incl. kg/active_project/usage; acp status
asserts kg counts). lib + akh + akhomed build clean; acp (19), ollama (10),
model_manager (25), tui (33) suites green; no new clippy warnings in touched
code (remaining collapsible_if hits are pre-existing on develop).

Context-management design reconciled against develop (branch was behind it):

- ADR 065 — Working-Context Assembly Runtime (Phase 44): promotes ADR 064
  (lean-ctx lessons 1/2/4/5: graduated fidelity, one budget allocator, delta KG
  refresh, spreading-activation discourse selection) and adds provenance-derived
  Retention + SafetyEnforced, episodic session-of-the-past seeding, VSA-ranked
  recall, TMS supersede-don't-delete. All four RFD axes recorded: ContextManager
  trait + Compacting/Passive/Virtual strategies + A/B harness (D9), deferred
  Candle-only KvCachePolicy (D10), deferred RetrievalPolicy (D11).
- ADR 066 — LLM agent loop reconciliation: the loop is already implemented on
  develop (ADR 062); records residual deltas. Not a new phase.
- Phase 44 plan (44a–44l), measure-first; clean seam vs Phase 42 Heka retrieval
  and ADR 062 loop.
- Verbatim research backing: RFD + notes.

Finishes the cognitive-panel stretch (plan 2026-06-18-tui-opencode-sidebar,
ADR 063); KG mini-view + active-microtheory shipped earlier in the Mind panel.

- acp/mod.rs: _akh/status gains `reasoning` (recent working-memory trace via
  Agent::working_memory().recent() — kind + content) and `evidence`
  (Agent::evidence_manager(): claim count + most-uncertain claims with their
  Dempster-Shafer verdict and belief/plausibility bounds, claim labels
  resolved via the engine). New _akh/reasoning + _akh/evidence methods,
  advertised in _akh/meta/capabilities. Both agent-derived (empty/None when
  stale under a live turn).
- tui/status.rs: ReasoningView / EvidenceView / ClaimView; StatusSnapshot
  gains reasoning + evidence.
- tui/widgets.rs: sidebar grows to six panels — Context / Goals / Reasoning /
  Mind / Evidence / Capabilities — with kind-coloured reasoning rows and
  verdict-coloured belief intervals. Densest on tall terminals; degrades
  gracefully (Goals is the flexible Fill).

Tests: status round-trip covers reasoning/evidence; acp status test asserts
both present. lib + akh + akhomed build clean; tui (33), acp (19) suites
green; no new clippy warnings in touched files.

Reworks the Phase 38 store into a fully relational, backend-portable schema
(Postgres now; SQLite/libSQL-Turso later) — no opaque blobs, no PG-isms.

Portability pass (the akh DB is typed data, stored relationally):
- All migrations rewritten with the SeaORM schema builder (no raw SQL except the
  one guarded TimescaleDB step), flat prefixed table names (`akhomed_*` /
  `workspaces_*`) since SQLite has no schemas, no native arrays (provenance
  inputs / workspace seed_packs → JSON), no DB-side defaults (timestamps set
  app-side), no FKs (integrity app-side; simpler ordering + SQLite-friendly).
- All JSON columns use SeaORM's portable `Json` type.

New schema:
- akhomed_symbols (registry as rows — replaces the sym_meta blob; makes facts
  joinable to labels and keeps ids stable across hosts).
- akhomed_akh_state (reshapes 38a's blob-bearing `snapshots` into a per-Akh
  runtime row: watermark, allocator_next, cycle_count, sleep phase, psyche +
  misc `extra` JSONB).
- Cognitive tables (the hybrid normalization): akhomed_drives, akhomed_agenda,
  akhomed_curiosity_config, akhomed_goals, akhomed_failure_cases,
  akhomed_effort_cases, akhomed_learned_methods, akhomed_competence_tools /
  _categories / _calibration, akhomed_sleep_metrics.
- akhomed_mutation_log → TimescaleDB hypertable via a graceful PG-only migration
  (probes pg_available_extensions; plain table elsewhere).
- Dropped the standalone psyche/snapshot entities (psyche now rides on akh_state).

akhomed-store API (`snapshots.rs`): per-table `replace_*`/`load_*` (full-replace
by Akh, one txn), `replace_workspace_facts`/`load_workspace_facts`,
`upsert_akh_state`/`load_akh_state`, `current_watermark`, `load_mutation_tail`.
`mutations.rs` now sets timestamps app-side (no DB defaults).

Verified: builder DDL creates all 21 tables on a real PG17 (idempotent;
TimescaleDB step gracefully skipped without the extension); serde round-trip
unit tests + the 38b live write-path test pass on the reworked schema; the
akh-medu daemon still builds with `--features server`.

Plan: ~/.claude/plans (38c); amends ADR 049 (relational truth + portability).

src/snapshot.rs::write_snapshot maps the agent's live state into the relational
akhomed_* tables via akhomed-store: registry → symbols, live KG → facts
(content-addressed; retracted triples absent), and the cognitive tables
(drives, agenda, curiosity, goals, failure/effort cases, learned methods,
competence ×3, sleep metrics), plus the akh_state runtime row (watermark,
allocator counter, cycle count, sleep phase, psyche JSONB). Call with the agent
locked (consistent point). Does NOT truncate the WAL (retention is the later
SleepCycle consolidation phase).

Engine: restore_triples (bulk-load KG + item memory, no WAL/Phase-9 — wake path)
and dump_symbols (registry → rows).

facts: dropped the BIGSERIAL surrogate; PK is now the content-addressed
(workspace_id, subject, predicate, object), so insert_many of Model rows works
without auto-increment collisions. akhomed-store re-exports `chrono`.

Verified (live PG17): write_snapshot populates all tables with facts == live
triple count, symbols == registry size, 4 drive rows, one akh_state row, and the
WAL untouched; 38a/38b live tests still pass.

`snapshot::wake(data_dir, akh_id, workspace_id, db)` rebuilds an identical
Engine on a fresh host from the relational snapshot:

- Inverse-maps `akhomed_*` rows back into the local redb meta the engine +
  agent read on open: `sym_meta:` (registry), `sym_allocator_next`, and the
  `agent:*` bincode blobs (drive_system, agenda, curiosity_config, goals,
  failure_cases, effort_cases, learned_methods, competence_model, sleep_cycle,
  psyche, cycle_count, audience, improvement_history, method_stats). The store
  is dropped before `Engine::new` reopens the same `akh-medu.redb`.
- `Engine::new` restores registry + allocator; `restore_triples(facts)` rebuilds
  the KG + item memory; then the mutation-log tail (`seq > watermark`) is
  replayed via add_triple/remove_triple — before any WAL sink is wired, so it is
  not re-logged. Caller then runs `Agent::resume` verbatim.
- Managers (PIM/calendar/causal/contact/…) and working memory are intentionally
  rebuilt-from-KG / dropped; a missing optional cognitive table degrades to
  defaults rather than failing the wake. Only `akh_state` is mandatory.

Snapshot writer enrichment so wake is lossless:
- goals store the full `Goal` in `detail` JSONB (flat columns stay for SQL
  inspection) — preserves data-bearing status variants the tag column drops.
- `akh_state.extra` now carries audience + improvement_history + method_stats.

Tests (ephemeral PG17, ignored): cross-host wake = identical symbol labels +
snapshot triples with the WAL tail applied (assert+retract) + restored
cycle_count; degraded wake with a deleted `akhomed_drives` table still rebuilds
the KG and resumes. 38a/38b/38c.2 live tests + daemon `--features server` build
unaffected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adversarial review of the wake path surfaced two `agent:*` keys that
`Agent::resume` reads with no KG fallback but `write_snapshot` never captured:

- `agent:session_summary` — now generated in `write_snapshot` via
  `generate_session_summary` and carried in `akh_state.extra`; `restore_extra`
  rebuilds the meta on wake, restoring cross-session WM continuity.
- `agent:person_memory` (PersonMemoryIndex) — deferred with an explicit note:
  its `topic_index: HashMap<(String, SymbolId), _>` tuple key is not
  JSON-representable, so it needs a flatten helper or a dedicated table. A woken
  Akh starts with an empty person index until then.

Unit tests (no Postgres) for the highest-risk row<->struct reconstruction the
live wake test only exercised with default state:
- goal `detail` JSON round-trip with data-bearing status (`Failed { reason }`)
  and a `GoalSource` — lossless via `to_value`/`from_value`.
- drives restored into canonical slots from out-of-order rows.
- competence maps + seq-sorted calibration history.
- effort-case `goal_vector` BYTEA bincode round-trip.
- ConsolidationPhase debug-string parse + SymbolKind round-trip.

Live snapshot/wake suite + 38a/38b unchanged.

Operationalises relocation:

- `src/snapshot.rs`: split `write_snapshot` into a synchronous `capture_snapshot`
  (materialises agent state into owned rows; safe to call under the daemon's
  `std::sync::Mutex<Agent>` guard) + async `persist_snapshot` (lock-free DB I/O).
  Required because the std-mutex guard cannot cross an `.await`. `write_snapshot`
  remains as a thin wrapper for simple callers/tests.
- Daemon (`src/bin/akhomed.rs`): per-workspace snapshot ticker spawned alongside
  `wire_wal` (`[postgres] snapshot_interval_secs`, default 300, `0` disables);
  `shutdown_wals` stops tickers, takes a final snapshot per loaded workspace,
  then drains the WAL. Control ops `_akh/akh/snapshot` (capture+persist under the
  lock) and `_akh/akh/wake` (reconstruct redb from Postgres, then route a cold
  workspace through the normal lazy get_agent path so resume + model-manager +
  WAL all apply). `snapshot_once` is shared by the ticker and the control op.
- `_akh/akh/{snapshot,wake}` added to `CONTROL_METHODS` (auto-advertised via
  `_akh/meta/capabilities`); CLI `akh akh snapshot|wake <ws>` (src/main.rs).
- `PostgresConfig::snapshot_interval_secs` (src/config.rs).
- Docs: architecture.md Phase 38 section rewritten for 38c (relational tables,
  flat names/Turso portability, ticker/ops); ADR 049 status → Accepted with an
  as-built amendment (no blobs, no PG schemas, Timescale WAL, WAL not truncated,
  person_memory deferred).

Tests: 3 new control-plane tests (methods registered, missing-param error,
no-Postgres error path); live snapshot/wake suite green after the capture/persist
split; default + `--features server` builds clean.

Two concurrent wakes of the same cold workspace both passed the not-loaded
check, then both opened `{kg_dir}/akh-medu.redb` — the second failed with a
confusing redb lock error. Add an in-flight `waking` set guarded by a
`WakeGuard` RAII token that clears the slot on drop (including the `?`
early-returns), so a duplicate wake gets a clean "already in progress" error.

Surfaced by the 38c.4 daemon-wiring review (low likelihood — manual control op).
The pre-existing get_engine slow-path race (which 38c.4 widens by attaching a
ticker) is tracked separately.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`Agent::resume` reads `agent:person_memory` (Phase 25c `PersonMemoryIndex`) with
no KG fallback, so a relocated Akh lost its person index. The blocker was
`topic_index: HashMap<(String, SymbolId), _>` — a tuple map key JSON can't
represent — plus private fields.

Fix (lossless, consistent with the existing `extra` pattern): add a JSON-safe
`PortablePersonMemory` projection in src/agent/contact_memory.rs (`to_portable`
flattens `topic_index` to a pair sequence; `from_portable` rebuilds). The
snapshot carries it in `akh_state.extra` alongside session_summary/audience/…;
`restore_extra` rebuilds the `agent:person_memory` bincode meta on wake.
`PersonMemoryIndex`'s own (bincode) serde is untouched, so existing same-host
blobs still deserialise.

Chosen over the existing `rebuild_from_kg` (lossy — the episode isn't in the
`discussed_topic` triple, so it can't recover topic→episode) and over a
dedicated table (over-engineering for a derived, capped cache).

Tests: contact_memory round-trip through JSON preserves recall incl. the tuple
key; snapshot `restore_extra` writes `agent:person_memory` meta that
deserialises with correct recall. Docs (architecture.md, ADR 049) updated.
Live snapshot/wake suite green.

Closes the person_memory deferral from commit d8bb863.

`get_engine` had a TOCTOU race: two concurrent callers could both miss the
`workspaces` read-cache fast-path and both build a separate Engine for one
workspace — each wiring its own WAL flusher and (since 38c.4) snapshot ticker,
with all but the last leaked as orphaned background tasks firing against a
dropped engine. `get_agent` had the analogous race (duplicate heavy
`Agent::resume`).

Serialize each slow path with a per-workspace load lock (`engine_load_locks` /
`agent_load_locks` — separate maps, since `get_agent` calls `get_engine` while
holding its guard and a shared lock would self-deadlock). After acquiring the
lock, re-check the cache so a racing winner's instance is reused. Each workspace
is now constructed at most once.

Tests: `get_engine_slow_path_is_single_flight` (8 concurrent first-loads share
one Engine, one cache entry) and `get_agent_slow_path_is_single_flight` (6
concurrent share one Agent + one Engine). Full control_plane suite (10) green.

Closes task_af4715fa (the get_engine race the 38c.4 review flagged).

Brings the akhomed-store crate, mutation WAL (38b), and relational
snapshot + cross-host wake/replay (38c) onto develop alongside the TUI
sidebar + Phase 44 context-assembly work.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reconcile the candle-only worktree-chat-e2e line onto develop WITHOUT deleting
Ollama (a raw merge would re-delete it). Ollama stays the agentic backing; the
candle work lands as additive capability.

- Net-new NLU modules: vendored hidden-states forks (quantized_qwen2/gemma3/
  gemma4), gpu.rs (host ROCm probe), audio.rs (Gemma-4 16kHz), hip.rs +
  hip_kernels/dequant.hip (rocm-gated), channel.rs (thinking/answer split).
- candle_backend.rs: ported superset (ModelFamily autodetect, hidden states,
  grounded verbalize/dialogue, audio, device select); re-added the kg-context
  translate_with_context overload develop's tier-3 cascade depends on.
- NluPipeline: candle-first generate_dialogue + new has_verbalizer/verbalize
  (+channel variants); llm_translator kept as legacy fallback.
- chat.rs: polar (yes/no) + relational-wh KG fast-path, assert_abstree_triples
  (teach via parsed AbsTree, not lossy regex), maybe_verbalize grounded output;
  persona_name_and_traits made pub.
- grammar/parser.rs: try_locative (X is in/part-of Y) + try_quantified scope
  now parses to a real triple.
- message.rs: MessageRole classification primitive. (Develop's ACP+sidebar TUI
  already supersedes chat-e2e's declutter, so its widgets are kept.)
- Cargo: hound + optional libloading; new opt-in 'rocm' feature; build.rs
  compiles the HIP kernel only under rocm and warns (not errors) without it.
- ADRs 067/068/069 (renumbered from chat-e2e 052/053/054) + plan docs.

Default build + examples green; cargo test --lib: 2576 pass; rocm build compiles.
Make Agent::run_agentic_turn backend-pluggable so an akh can be backed by Ollama
(default; local or cloud, native function-calling) or Candle (in-process GGUF;
device-limited — GPU helps but runs CPU-only too). Both are full tool-calling peers.

- ChatBackend trait (src/agent/chat_backend.rs): available/prepare/chat_with_tools
  /chat_with_tools_streaming, returning the existing AssistantTurn{content,tool_calls}
  contract so the loop is backend-agnostic. OllamaChatBackend wraps AgentModelManager
  (behaviour unchanged); CandleChatBackend renders the model-native tool template,
  parses tool-call blocks, and regenerates arguments under a JSON grammar constraint.
- Grammar-constrained decoding: src/nlu/json_constraint.rs (pushdown automaton over
  the JSON value grammar) + CandleBackend::generate_constrained_json (top-K logit
  filter keeping only grammar-valid tokens) + tool_call.gbnf spec. Guarantees valid
  tool-call JSON — the model picks the semantics, the grammar guarantees the syntax
  (the in-process advantage over an HTTP backend).
- AkhConfig gains backend = "ollama" | "candle" (serde default Ollama, back-compat).
  akhomed attaches a CandleChatBackend when an akh selects candle and a GGUF is
  present; otherwise logs and falls back to Ollama/symbolic.
- Agent: chat_backend field + set_chat_backend; run_agentic_turn resolves the
  backend (explicit > Ollama wrapper) and is otherwise unchanged.
- ADR 070 records the reconciliation (supersedes ADR 067's 'Ollama removed' stance).

Tests: json_constraint (7), chat_backend parse (3), akh_config selection (1);
cargo test --lib 2587 pass; lib + akhomed(server,nlu-candle) build green.
Replace JSON list-columns in the (greenfield, days-old) Phase 38a-c schema with
proper relational tables; migrations edited in place (no backfill).

- goal.children    → akhomed_goal_hierarchy(akh_id, parent_id, child_id, position)
- goal.blocked_by  → akhomed_goal_dependencies(akh_id, goal_id, blocking_goal_id)
- learned_method.steps → akhomed_learned_method_step(akh_id, method_id, step_index, ...)
- provenance.inputs    → akhomed_provenance_input(provenance_id, position, input_symbol_id)
- workspace.seed_packs → workspaces_workspace_seed_pack(workspace_id, position, pack_name)

Kept JSONB (genuinely polymorphic/opaque): akh_state.psyche/extra, goal.detail,
provenance.derivation, episode.payload, mutation_log.payload, effort_case.tool_usage.
Kept BYTEA: all *_vector hypervectors.

- snapshots.rs: 4 akh-scoped replace/load helpers (hierarchy, dependencies, steps)
  + 2 hand-written (provenance_input by provenance_id, seed_pack by workspace_id),
  all position-ordered.
- src/snapshot.rs: capture builds edge/child rows from agent state (ordered);
  goal_to_model/method writer drop the JSON fields; build_goals overlays children
  (by position) + blocked_by; build_learned_methods assembles steps by step_index.
- New child/edge entities follow the existing minimal style; registered in entity/mod.

Round-trip tests: edge/child entities + goals(children+blocked_by) + method steps
survive replace→load with order preserved. cargo test -p akhomed-store green;
snapshot tests (postgres) 13 pass; default cargo test --lib 2587 pass.
- src/agent/sleep.rs: SleepLevel{Running,IdleInMemory,Deep} (durability state,
  orthogonal to the cognitive ConsolidationPhase) with stable string tags.
- src/vsa/item_memory.rs: dump_to_disk (bipolar vectors + dim/encoding
  fingerprint; the HNSW graph is NOT persisted) + load_from_disk (replays vectors
  into a fresh HNSW on matching fingerprint, else None → caller rebuilds from
  facts). Atomic write via tmp+rename. Round-trip + fingerprint-mismatch test.

The daemon Running/Idle/Deep transitions and wake wiring build on these (next).
CLI verbs (src/main.rs) → ACP _akh/* control methods, following snapshot/wake:
- akh akh sleep|relocate           → _akh/akh/{sleep,relocate}        (38e/38g)
- akh workspace join|leave|list-members → _akh/workspace/{join,leave,list-members} (38f)
- akh projection refresh           → _akh/projection/refresh (stub, 38d deferred)
- akh migrate                      → _akh/migrate (ops-facing migration runner)
All registered in CONTROL_METHODS + advertised in _akh/meta/capabilities.

ServerState (src/bin/akhomed.rs):
- sleep_workspace: snapshot + WAL flush + evict_workspace (deep-sleep frees memory,
  stops daemon/ticker/flusher); local-only path notes the durability gap.
- relocate_workspace: advisory-lock guarded snapshot+flush+touch_last_seen so another
  host can ; requires Postgres.
- 38g split-brain guard: acquire_akh_lock_or_refuse (pg_try_advisory_lock on akh_id) +
  last_seen, wired into wake + relocate; fails fast if the lock is held; no-op w/o pool.
- workspace join/leave/list-members membership ops; flush_wal drains the WAL buffer.

Store (crates/akhomed-store/src/memberships.rs): join/leave/list/touch_last_seen +
try_acquire_akh_lock/release_akh_lock (parameterized Statement for the advisory-lock
DB function — the one allowed raw-SQL escape hatch). All Postgres paths opt-in;
verbs return clear 'needs Postgres' diagnostics without a pool.

ADR 071 (akh CLI command tree), ADR 072 (normalized store). akh --help shows all
verbs; default + akhomed(server,nlu-candle) + akh(acp) build clean; cargo test --lib
2588 pass; 15 control-plane tests pass.
- multi_agent.rs: AgentProtocolMessage::{WorkspaceJoin, WorkspaceLeave} (38f) so
  peer akhs notice arrival/departure proactively rather than via a stale read.
- docs/ops/relocate-akh.md: operator runbook for graceful relocation + dead-host
  recovery, the split-brain guards (last_seen + advisory lock), and HNSW wake cost.
- tests/relocation.rs: randomized assert/retract WAL-tail recovery property test
  (5 seeds) — wake on a fresh dir reconstructs snapshot + tail exactly. Gated on
  AKH_TEST_PG_URL + #[ignore]; compiles clean.

Cross-host wake equivalence is covered by snapshot_live::wake_reconstructs_identical_akh;
the advisory-lock guard + membership by akhomed-store::tests::live_pg.

Validates the entire Phase-38 Postgres workflow end-to-end against the homelab
CloudNativePG image (snapshot / WAL / wake / relocate / split-brain guard), and
hardens concurrent migration for the multi-host homing scenario.

Test harness
- scripts/pg-standalone.sh: run ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/postgresql:16 standalone
  (the CNPG image is operator-driven with no auto-init entrypoint, so we drive
  initdb + postgres as root then drop to the postgres user via runuser).
- scripts/run-pg-tests.sh: bring up PG + run the full gated suite (live_pg,
  snapshot_live, wal_live, relocation). All green against real Postgres.

Concurrency hardening (found while testing)
- akhomed_store::run_migrations_locked(&PoolOptions): runs migrations under a
  Postgres session advisory lock on a dedicated single connection, so several
  daemons starting against one fresh cluster DB no longer race on creating
  seaql_migrations (duplicate-key on pg_type). Wired into the daemon start-up
  path, the `akh migrate` ACP handler, and the akhomed-migrate CLI. Proven by a
  new live_pg test that fires 6 concurrent migrators at a throwaway database.

relocation property test fix
- tests/relocation.rs seeded `model` only from its manual asserts, but
  Agent::new bootstraps agent predicates + causal schemas into the engine, which
  the snapshot faithfully captures and wake faithfully restores. Seed the
  expectation from the live engine at snapshot time so the invariant is
  (full snapshot baseline) ⊕ (WAL tail). The product was correct (snapshot_live
  wake_reconstructs_identical_akh already passed); the test's model was not.

3-akh starter (Tecton / Thoth / Gemma)
- examples/three-akhs/: host-wide config.toml ([postgres] + [acp]) and per-akh
  workspace TOMLs — Tecton (GLM over ollama cloud), Thoth (best reasoning cloud
  model), Gemma (Gemma 4 12B in-process via Candle), one shared Postgres.
- docs/ops/three-akhs-postgres.md: end-to-end runbook incl. the snapshot/sleep/
  relocate verbs and going multi-host over SSL to Archibald (OpenIndiana VM) and
  Hephaistos with the split-brain guard.

Builds the working-context assembly layer behind a swappable `ContextManager`
trait the agentic loop calls to build each prompt. This run lands the two
measurement-independent sub-phases; the quality-driven rest stays measure-first
gated (needs the 3-akh setup on real models).

44a — foundation (src/agent/context/{mod,types,manager,budget,error}.rs)
- `ContextManager` trait + `EpisodeState`/`TokenBudget`/`AssembledContext`/
  `StrategyId`/`TurnOutcome` (prompt as sections + spans, not a flat string).
- `TokenCounter` abstraction: `HeuristicTokenCounter` (len/4, universal) and a
  feature-gated `CandleTokenCounter` — the agent path has no single tokenizer
  (Ollama counts post-hoc; Candle's is private), so this abstracts the source.
- `PassThroughManager`: byte-identical to the pre-44 single-user-turn prompt.
  Wired into `run_agentic_turn` (the backend-agnostic seam, before
  chat_with_tools) so Ollama and Candle both consume assembled context. Default
  (no manager set) = pass-through ⇒ zero behaviour change.
- `BudgetAllocator` (priority-ordered division, replacing the 3 isolated caps) +
  `record_assembly_telemetry` (per-section token telemetry → answers measure-
  first Q2 from a live run).

44f — safety pinning (src/agent/context/{retention,safety}.rs)
- `Retention { Volatile, Recoverable, PinnedSafety }` + `ProvenanceRetention
  Classifier` reading the provenance ledger: AgentDecision / ShadowVeto /
  Dangerous+-tool executions ⇒ PinnedSafety; AgentConsolidation ⇒ Recoverable.
- `SafetyEnforced<M>` decorator: hard miette error if assembly evicts a
  PinnedSafety span — guards *eviction* as ADR-060 guards *execution*.

Two exploration corrections vs. the plan doc, baked in: Phase 42 "Heka"/pgvector
is absent on this branch (44e/g will consume the existing KG recall), and no
tokenizer reaches the agent path (hence TokenCounter).

Tests: 9 new unit tests (token counter, pass-through golden-prompt diff,

Found while bringing up the 3-akh setup on real hardware (RX 7900 XTX,
gemma4-12B via Candle on ROCm). Three independent fixes:

1. NLU LLM tier doubles in-process model memory → OOM. The daemon loaded a large
   Candle model for *both* the NLU tier-3 translator and the chat backing
   (ADR 070) — two gemma4-12B copies = ~29.5 GB RSS, OOM-killed. The two paths
   don't yet share one model instance. Add an `AKH_NLU_LLM=0` env gate
   (`src/nlu/mod.rs`) to skip the NLU tier-3 LLM load (rules/NER/ranker still
   run), so a host whose chat backing already loads a big model doesn't pay twice.

2. ACP self-bootstrap clobbers an existing akh config. The bootstrap guarded only
   on the workspace *data dir*, so a workspace with an `akh.toml` but no data dir
   yet got its config overwritten by a bare `WorkspaceConfig::with_name(...)` —
   silently dropping `backend`/`model`/`[ollama_endpoint]` (ADR 070). Guard on the
   config file's existence too (`src/bin/akhomed.rs`); the engine is built lazily
   from the existing config on first ACP call.

3. Candle prompt cap too small for the agentic path. The chat backend renders the
   full tool catalog into the prompt (~6.6K tokens), but the candle generate path
   hard-capped prompts at 1800 tokens (a leftover from the 1.5B NLU model),
   failing every agentic turn with "Prompt too long". Gemma 3/4 and Qwen2.5 all
   support ≥8K context — raise the cap to a named `MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS = 8192`
   (`src/nlu/candle_backend.rs`).

Verified: default build + `cargo test --lib` green (2597); release
`server,candle-backend,rocm` build green with the HIP kernel for gfx1100. On the
XTX, gemma4-12B loads via Candle with `AKH_GPU_MATMUL=1` routing linear GEMMs
through rocBLAS (VRAM ~7 GB resident) and the GPU is active during generation.

Continues the live-hardware bring-up (RX 7900 XTX). All three akhs now answer
end-to-end through akhomed: Tecton (glm-5.2 / ollama.com cloud), Thoth
(gpt-oss:120b / cloud), Gemma (gemma4-12B / Candle on the GPU, 98% busy).

- **ACP self-bootstrap now preserves akh-level config.** The earlier fix (guard on
  config-file existence) was too aggressive: skipping create left the workspace
  *data dir* absent, so ACP couldn't bind ("workspace not found"). Now the
  bootstrap always ensures the data dir exists, but builds it from the existing
  `akh.toml`'s embedded WorkspaceConfig and re-saves the full AkhConfig afterward
  (WorkspaceManager::create persists only the WorkspaceConfig view) — so
  `backend`/`model`/`[ollama_endpoint]` (ADR 070) survive. Verified: binding to a
  fresh `thoth` creates its data dir AND keeps `model=gpt-oss:120b`.

- **`AKH_AGENT_MAX_TOOLS=N`** caps the agentic tool catalog (`src/agent/
  agentic_chat.rs`). The full catalog is several-thousand prompt tokens, which on a
  small-context in-process model (Candle Gemma on a constrained host) dominates
  prefill and stalls turns. `0` = tool-free pure chat. With it set, gemma4-12B
  answers coherently with the GPU saturated (98% vs 18% under the full prompt). A
  precursor to Phase 44 budget-driven tool selection.

- **Live cloud model tags** in the 3-akh example + runbook: `glm-5.2` /
  `gpt-oss:120b` (verified against ollama.com 2026-06-20; `glm-4.6` was retired,
  and akhomed uses bare tags not `:cloud` suffixes when hitting ollama.com
  directly). Runbook gains a tuning/limitations section (GPU + AKH_NLU_LLM +
  AKH_AGENT_MAX_TOOLS knobs; the one-daemon-binds-one-akh data-plane limitation;
  the same-host wake redb lock).

`cargo test --lib` green (2597); release `server,candle-backend,rocm` build green.

Fixes the three gaps found during live bring-up (RX 7900 XTX). Verified live:
one akhomed daemon answered Tecton (glm-5.2), Thoth (gpt-oss:120b, non-bound),
and Gemma (gemma4-12B candle, GPU 98%) all via `akh -w <name>`; gemma
sleep→wake on the same host released VRAM 7→0.27 GB and woke with no redb lock;
snapshot of a never-loaded config-only akh lazily created it.

Gap #1 — `-w` ignored on the data-plane (one daemon = one akh).
- `ServerControl::resolve(name) -> WorkspaceHandles` (engine/agent/processor),
  implemented on ServerState (get_engine + get_agent + a fresh ChatProcessor from
  the Arc-shared NLU pipeline). `AkhAcpAgent` gains a *provider mode*
  (`with_provider`) that holds no engine and resolves each request's workspace on
  demand; the daemon uses it. Held mode (embedded/tests) still works, with a
  fallback when a control is wired only for the control-plane.
- Data-plane ext: the handler reads a `workspace` param (client now sends
  `cli.workspace`) and resolves it; chat: `session/new` records the workspace from
  the session `cwd` sentinel (`akh-ws:<name>`, threaded through
  `run_session`/`chat_over_unix`/`chat_over_tcp`) into a session→workspace map, and
  `session/prompt` resolves per session. TUI `remote.rs` threads its workspace too
  (was `let _ = workspace;`).

Gap #2 — same-host `sleep`→`wake` hit "redb Database already open".
- Caused by the ACP server permanently holding the bound workspace's engine Arc.
  In provider mode it holds none, so `sleep`'s evict fully drops the engine and a
  same-host `wake` reopens cleanly. (Cross-host relocation was already fine.)

Gap #3 — `snapshot`/`sleep` required a pre-loaded workspace.
- `get_engine` now lazily creates a configured-but-not-yet-materialized workspace
  from its `akh.toml` (preserving akh-level fields via create-then-restore),
  instead of erroring "not found". Any configured akh now loads on first use —
  control-plane, data-plane, and chat.

`cargo test --lib` green (2597) + ACP module tests (19); release
`server,candle-backend,rocm` build green.

Fixes the wrong hardcoded context cap and reads capabilities from the model
itself, not a guess. Verified live (RX 7900 XTX): gemma4-12B window 262144,
glm-5.2 1000000, gpt-oss:120b 131072.

- **Candle**: `CandleBackend` reads `<arch>.context_length` from the GGUF metadata
  at load (e.g. Gemma-4-12B = 262144) and uses it as the prompt ceiling +
  exposes `context_length()`. The old `MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS = 8192` cap (a leftover
  from the 1.5B NLU model, which was rejecting the agentic tool prompt) is now
  only a fallback for GGUFs with no metadata.
- **Ollama**: `OllamaClient::capabilities()` reads `POST /api/show` once (cached)
  → context window + `thinking`/`tools` support; `context_length()` now delegates
  to it (one round-trip). `ChatBackend::capabilities()` exposes a uniform
  `ModelCapabilities { context_window, supports_thinking, supports_tools }` for
  both backings.
- **Budget window from capabilities**: `run_agentic_turn` sizes the Phase-44
  `TokenBudget` window from the model's real window (per akh) instead of the 8192
  default — telemetry now shows window=262144 (gemma) / 1000000 (glm-5.2).
- **Reasoning gating**: `reasoning_effort`/`think` is only sent when the model's
  capabilities include `thinking` (both cloud models here do; a non-thinking
  model no longer gets a `think` it doesn't understand).

Measure-first report corrected: the real windows are 128K–1M, so the tool catalog
(~6.6K) is a tiny fraction — window pressure is NOT the constraint. For the Candle
akh the real bottleneck is compute (partial GPU offload), so 44b (budget-to-fit-
window) is low-urgency and the data-justified win is conversation history (44c/44e).

The agentic path shipped no conversation history (measure-first Q1 proved it
materially helps — a follow-up needing prior context fails without it). This
lands the first CompactingManager increment: recent turns rendered into the
prompt, newest-first within the model's real budget window (huge — so all recent
turns fit in practice).

- `CompactingManager` (src/agent/context/compacting.rs): renders the recorded
  conversation turns as role/content messages within budget; falls back to the
  current prompt only when there's no conversation state (embedded/tests).
- `run_agentic_turn` now records the operator turn at the start (it already
  recorded the agent turn at the end; the symbolic path always recorded both —
  this closes the agentic-path gap) so the conversation's last turn is the
  current prompt and the manager renders turns directly.
- The daemon wraps every akh in `SafetyEnforced<CompactingManager>` (the lib
  default stays pass-through for tests/embedded).

Verified live (RX 7900 XTX): a 2-turn session through Tecton (glm-5.2) — turn 1
"I'm thinking of the Eiffel Tower", turn 2 "What city is it in?" → **"Paris."**
(resolved across turns; previously failed). Telemetry: strategy
`safety-enforced(compacting)`, History section grows, window 1_000_000, dropped 0.

Extends the CompactingManager from history-only to the full set of working-
context sections, retrieved by the agent and rendered as leading `system` blocks
within the (model-real) budget. EpisodeState gains `kg_context`/`recalled`/
`session_seed` (+ `new`/`with_conversation`/`with_context` builders); the manager
renders seed → KG → recalled → history, each skipped if over budget.

- **44d KG context**: `run_agentic_turn` calls `build_kg_context(engine, prompt)`
  and passes it in. Verified live: "what property does rust have?" → "Rust …
  memory-safe" (grounded in the seeded triple); telemetry shows a
  `KnowledgeGraph` section (58 tok) in the assembled context.
- **44g recalled episodes**: `Agent::recall_for_prompt` resolves the prompt's
  content words to symbols and ranks via the existing episodic recall (symbol
  overlap + recency); the top-K summaries render as a `RecalledEpisodes` block.
  (Surfaces when episodic memory has matches; the VSA-similarity blend + TMS
  supersede-filter are the documented 44g-full refinement, and the Q3 precision
  number is still measured at that build.)
- **44e discourse + seeding**: history selection is recency + budget (graph-
  proximity refinement is moot while windows are 128K–1M); the session-seed slot
  is wired through `with_context` and rendered first when present (populated once
  a session-summary source is available — a small follow-up on the sleep/
  consolidation lifecycle).

Finishes Phase 44 (ADR 064/065). All three context-assembly strategies are live
and selectable per akh via AKH_CONTEXT_STRATEGY (default `compacting`); 44k/44l
are recorded-deferred trait stubs. `cargo test --lib` green (2622, +21).

CompactingManager (default), now budget- and discourse-driven:
- **44b** BudgetAllocator gains `allocate_keep_first` (atomic sections render
  whole-or-not; history + tools degrade smoothly). The tool catalog is routed
  *through* the manager as a budgeted `Tools` section (EpisodeState.tool_catalog →
  AssembledContext.tools); PassThrough echoes it unchanged (byte-identical).
- **44d** opt-in KG-context delta (`AKH_KG_DELTA`): inject only facts not already
  shown this session (kg_context::build_kg_context_delta + ConversationState.kg_seen).
- **44e** discourse selection (context::discourse): recency, or graph-proximity
  (entity overlap with the active topic) when turns carry entities; + a
  session-seed source (Agent::session_seed — the opening ask) rendered as the seed.
- **44g** recall (Agent::recall_for_prompt): VSA-expanded query + recency/confidence
  blend + TMS supersede filter via new TruthMaintenanceSystem::was_retracted
  (records retracted symbols so a superseded fact never resurfaces).

New strategies (wrapped in SafetyEnforced; shared assemble_with_cap):
- **44h PassiveManager** — lean context (immediate tail only); the longer thread is
  carried by background consolidation + recall. Idempotent.
- **44i VirtualContextManager** — MemGPT core/recall/archival tiers + KG-backed core
  memory (context::core_memory) + self-edit tools core_memory_append /
  core_memory_replace / archival_search (tools/core_memory.rs), registered with the
  akh's id baked in when the virtual strategy is active.

- **44j** deterministic A/B harness (src/bench_phase44/) comparing the three
  strategies on token cost / salient retention / safety-pin violations (0 across the
  board) + dated report (docs/ai/2026-06-21-phase44j-strategy-ab.md). Result:
  compacting retains most at highest cost, passive cheapest/loses most, virtual in
  between (keeps what the model pins to core memory).
- **44k/44l** context::policy — KvCachePolicy + RetrievalPolicy traits with no-op
  defaults, recorded-deferred (gated on ADR 037 Candle KV / Phase 42 Heka).

Live-verified on the XTX daemon: session-seed System block appears from turn 2
(sections={System: 20, History: 374}); virtual strategy active
(strategy="safety-enforced(virtual)").

The candle backend already had a #[cfg(feature="metal")] device selector but no
'metal' feature was defined — add it (passes candle-core/nn/transformers metal
through; macOS/arm64 only, won't compile on Linux so it's opt-in). The Mac runs
akhomed NATIVELY (Metal GPU isn't reachable from a Linux container): one binary
serves a Metal GPU akh + cloud akhs. docs/ops/mac-akh-session-prompt.md is the
self-contained Claude Code prompt — native build (no cmake; oxigraph has no
rocksdb here), LAN mTLS to akh-pg (192.168.1.16, require+cert), ACP-over-TCP for
Anima. Mac cert bundle staged at armini:~/akh-certs/.
Record the op-offload -> first-class device decision (ADR 073), with the
bandwidth-roofline acceptance metric, q8-default rationale, and the
hidden-cosine >= 0.999 hard gate. Add the Phase 45 plan + autonomous
execution flow. Fix stale 'ADR 053' refs in the op-offload code/plan to
point at ADR 068 (053 is first-class-akh-config on this branch); fix the
broken 053-rocm-candle-gpu-backend.md link in src/nlu/gpu.rs.
Instrument the decode loop for steady-state throughput (GenerationResult.decode_secs,
public generate_bench + GenBenchStats, new StopMode::Fixed that decodes the full
token budget ignoring EOS/stop). Add PCIe H2D/D2H atomic counters in nlu::hip
(reset_pcie_counts/pcie_counts) at the hipMemcpy sites. New examples/candle_bench.rs
reports tok/s, VRAM, crossings/token and % of the memory-bandwidth roofline.

Measured on hephaistos (gfx1100, gemma3-12b Q4_K, 128-token decode):
  op-offload GPU : 0.17 tok/s, 419 PCIe crossings/token, 0.1% of roofline
  pure CPU       : 1.16 tok/s, 0 crossings
The op-offload GPU path is ~7x SLOWER than CPU for 12B — per-token PCIe round-trips
(device-synced) dominate. This is the number the full Device::Hip backend must beat
(target >=78 tok/s q4_K = ~460x).
Vendor candle-core 0.10.2 under vendor/candle-core (own [workspace] root,
consumed via [patch.crates-io]); candle-nn/candle-transformers bind it
transparently. New akh-medu `hip` feature (superset of `rocm`).

Architecture: HIP is source-compatible with the CUDA runtime API, so instead
of a parallel Device::Hip enum arm across ~130 match sites, the new
hip_backend fills the candle `cuda` MODULE SLOT under the `hip` feature
(lib.rs + quantized/mod.rs route cuda -> hip_backend when hip && !cuda). Every
Storage::Cuda / Device::Cuda dispatch then targets AMD with ZERO match-arm
changes — the 'hipify the cuda backend' approach (ADR 068 step 3).

Phase 45b scope: HipDevice constructs and the routing compiles both with and
without `hip`; storage/op kernels return a clear 'Phase 45c/45d' error.
Real on-device memory init + rocBLAS/dequant/elementwise kernels follow.

Gate: cargo build --features hip OK (1m58s); full lib suite under --features hip
2628 passed / 0 failed (existing suite + rocm GPU parity + new
hip_device_constructs_via_cuda_slot construct test). Vendored target/ gitignored.
Update ADR 073 + the Phase 45 plan to record the implementation decision that
landed in 45b: HIP fills candle's cuda module slot (zero match-arm changes)
rather than a parallel Device::Hip enum variant (~130 arms). Add the measured
45a baseline (0.17 tok/s op-offload) and the 45a/45b progress block.
hip_backend gains a dlopen'd HIP runtime (libamdhip64 via libloading, behind the
vendored candle-core `hip` feature): hipGetDeviceCount/hipSetDevice/hipMalloc/
hipFree/hipMemcpy/hipMemset/hipDeviceSynchronize, loaded once into a process-wide
OnceLock.

HipDevice::new now really initializes the GPU (validates ordinal vs device count,
selects it; errors with an actionable message if ROCm is absent). HipStorage owns a
real device allocation (ptr + dtype + len, freed on drop) with working transfers:
storage_from_slice/storage_from_cpu_storage (H2D), to_cpu_storage (D2H, F32/F16/
BF16/U8/U32/I64/F64), try_clone (D2D), zeros_impl (malloc+memset), alloc_uninit,
synchronize. Compute ops (matmul/elementwise/reduce/...) remain Phase 45d stubs.

Gate (gfx1100): cargo build --features hip OK; new hip_storage_host_device_roundtrip
test — Tensor::new(data,&gpu) allocates in VRAM and to_vec1() reads back exact;
device zeros read back as zero. Both hip_backend_tests pass on the GPU.
hip_backend runtime gains rocBLAS (dlopen librocblas; persistent handle created
once via rocblas_create_handle, reused). BackendStorage::matmul implements batched
f32 GEMM by mapping candle's row-major (b,m,n,k) + operand layouts onto a
column-major rocblas_sgemm_strided_batched exactly as candle's cuda_backend::
gemm_config does (rhs='A', lhs='B', m/n swapped, transpose + leading-dim + batch
stride derived from strides; operand start-offsets applied). f16/bf16 + the
elementwise/reduce kernels follow.

Gate (gfx1100): hip_matmul_matches_cpu — 2D (2x3 @ 3x4) and batched 3D
(2x2x3 @ 2x3x4) products match CPU within 1e-3 through candle's Tensor::matmul.
All 3 hip_backend_tests pass on the GPU.
Add a build.rs to the vendored candle-core (gated on CARGO_FEATURE_HIP) that
compiles src/hip_kernels/elementwise.hip to libcandle_hip_kernels.so with
hipcc/amdclang++ --offload-arch=gfx1100 (graceful skip without the toolchain;
no-op for default builds). The .hip exposes extern-C wrappers that launch +
synchronize; hip_backend dlopen's them (runtime::Kernels) from $OUT_DIR.

BackendStorage now implements (contiguous f32): affine (y=x*mul+add),
unary_impl (neg/exp/silu/gelu/sqr/sqrt/recip/relu/tanh/abs, dispatched on
B::NAME), binary_impl (add/sub/mul/div). Gelu uses the tanh approximation to
match candle's Gelu. Non-contiguous / f16 / bf16 follow.

Gate (gfx1100): hip_elementwise_matches_cpu — affine, gelu, silu, add, mul all
match CPU within 1e-3 through candle's Tensor ops. 4/4 hip_backend_tests pass.
Five more BackendStorage ops for the HIP backend, authored in parallel (worktree-
isolated subagents) and integrated + re-verified together on the gfx1100:

- reduce_op: contiguous f32 Sum (multi-dim) / Max / Min (single-dim) via a
  per-output-thread kernel with device-uploaded dims/strides/reduce_mask.
- to_dtype: contiguous casts F32<->F16, F32<->BF16, F16<->BF16, F32<->U32,
  F32<->I64 (templated cast kernel; legacy hip_bfloat16; no-op = device clone).
- index_select: gather along dim over contiguous f32 with U32/I64 indices
  (embedding gather is the left=1 case).
- where_cond: out = cond ? t : f, U8/U32 condition, f32 values, contiguous.
- copy_strided_src: contiguous fast path = D2D memcpy (any dtype); strided f32
  path = rank-generic unravel kernel — powers .contiguous().

All gate on contiguous f32 (+ the relevant index/cond/cast dtypes) and return a
clear Error::Msg for unsupported cases (never panic). New runtime::Kernels fns +
kernels in elementwise.hip.

Gate (gfx1100): op_tests (reduce_sum_max_min, to_dtype_roundtrips,
index_select_embedding, where_cond_mask, copy_strided_contiguous_after_transpose)
all match CPU; candle-core standalone + akh_medu --features hip both green
(akh hip_backend_tests 4/4).
Two parallel subagent deliverables, integrated + re-verified together on gfx1100.

QHipStorage (quantized cuda slot, quantized/hip.rs + new hip_kernels/quant.hip):
GGUF Q4_K weights resident as raw 144B/256-weight superblocks; a HIP dequant
kernel mirrors candle's BlockQ4K::to_float BIT-FOR-BIT (akh_dequant_q4k, ported
from akh_medu's nlu::hip), so weights are consumed as-shipped. dequantize ->
f32 device buffer; fwd dequants weights then reuses the rocBLAS f32 GEMM
(HipStorage::matmul). Other K-quants dequant on CPU; fwd is Q4_K-only (clear
Phase-45e error otherwise). build.rs refactored to compile_hip() x2
(elementwise + quant). runtime made pub(crate); HipStorage::from_raw added.

f16/bf16 matmul (hip_backend.rs): rocblas_hgemm_strided_batched (f16) +
rocblas_gemm_strided_batched_ex (bf16, compute=f32) added to Rocblas; matmul
dispatches f32/f16/bf16 over the same gemm-config. (Corrected rocBLAS datatype
enum values vs the headers: bf16_r=168, f32_r=151, algo_standard=0.)

Gate (gfx1100): candle-core --features hip lib suite 15/15 incl.
hip_q4k_dequant_and_matmul_parity (dequant bit-exact, fwd rel 3.7e-7 vs f32 ref)
+ matmul_f16/bf16; akh_medu --features hip builds.
The Gemma3 12B forward needs two ops the HIP backend lacked:
- cmp: prefill builds an attention mask and does mask.eq(0) with a
  broadcast lhs + scalar rhs. New strided cmp_f32 kernel (per-output
  coord reconstruction, own strides per operand) -> U8; all 6 CmpOp.
- Q6_K dequant: gemma3-12b.gguf (Q4_K_M) is 288 Q4_K + 49 Q6_K + 289
  F32; Q6_K backs ffn_down/attn_v/output, touched every token. New
  akh_dequant_q6k kernel mirrors BlockQ6K::to_float bit-for-bit;
  QHipStorage::dequantize gains a Q6K arm and fwd accepts Q4_K|Q6_K
  (same rocBLAS f32 GEMM).

Parity on gfx1100: cmp_eq_and_broadcast_mask ok; Q6_K dequant bit-exact
(max|gpu-cpu|=0), Q6_K QMatMul rel<1e-2. candle-core --features hip
11/11 (was 9 + q4k; now + cmp + q6k).
- select_device(): under the akh `hip` feature, build Device::new_cuda(0)
  (the candle cuda slot is the HIP backend) so the whole forward runs
  GPU-resident; clear miette-style warn + CPU fallback if construction fails.
- quantized_gemma3: candle-nn's fast rms_norm/softmax_last_dim/rope are custom
  ops with no cuda_fwd in our fork build, so they'd error on the HIP device.
  Route to candle-nn's public on-device slow variants (rms_norm_slow / softmax /
  rope_slow — pure primitive ops, all HIP-parity-gated) when device.is_cuda();
  keep the fast custom ops byte-identical on CPU. RmsNorm -> local GemmaRmsNorm
  (same semantics) to carry the weight for the device branch.

gemma4/qwen2 vendored models still use the fast ops directly (resident path is
gemma3-only this step). cargo check --features hip clean.
The complete gemma3-12b.gguf forward now runs end-to-end on the HIP device
with coherent output — no per-op PCIe offload. Beats the op-offload baseline
0.17 -> 0.87 tok/s (5x); 22.6 GB weights resident (Q4_K + Q6_K + f32 norms).

Residual ops the real forward surfaced, all added + parity-gated on gfx1100:
- unary cos/sin/log (RoPE cos/sin tables built on-device at load)
- strided binary (broadcast_div/mul/sub in rms_norm_slow/softmax/rope_slow)
- strided unary (neg on a narrow view inside rotate_half)
- strided where_cond (broadcast neg_inf as the masked-attention  operand)
- cmp u32 (attention mask is built u32; mask.eq(0))
- copy2d via hipMemcpy2D (cat fast path / KV-cache concat)
- argmin/argmax reduce -> u32 index (greedy sampling)
PCIe counters added to the candle-core HIP runtime + surfaced in candle_bench.

candle-core --features hip: 16/16 op_tests + quant parity green.

NOTE: 0.87 tok/s is correct-but-slow. Profiling shows the bottlenecks are
NOT residency (weights never re-upload) but (1) QHipStorage::fwd dequantizes
each weight to a full f32 buffer EVERY token (4x memory traffic + per-token
malloc), (2) per-op hipDeviceSynchronize serializes hundreds of kernels/token,
(3) strided ops upload tiny dims/stride arrays H2D per call (the 3908
'crossings'/token are this control-plane noise, not weight streaming). These
are the 45h fused-kernel / streamed-execution targets.
Record the resident-forward milestone + honest profiling: 0.87 tok/s is
bottlenecked on per-op malloc/free/sync (~1900/token), not residency (weights
resident, never re-uploaded) or dequant (~10%). The 3710 H2D/token are
control-plane stride-array uploads, not weight streaming. 45g/45h: by-value
strided metadata + scratch pooling -> streamed execution -> fused quantized
GEMV -> fused norm/rope/softmax.
Apply the same device-gated op routing to the vendored quantized_gemma4
(rms_norm/softmax/rope -> candle-nn on-device slow variants when is_cuda();
RmsNorm -> local GemmaRmsNorm; CPU path byte-identical). gemma4-12b.gguf has
the same dtype mix as gemma3 (F32 + Q4_K + Q6_K) so no new quant kernels; its
GELU MLP, weightless-V rmsnorm, final-logit tanh softcap and per-block output
scale all route through ops already on the GPU (gelu/tanh unary, affine,
strided binary, reduce).

Measured: gemma4-12b resident on gfx1100 = 0.85 tok/s, 23.46 GB resident,
coherent output (channel-format thinking). Both on-host 12B akhs (gemma3 +
gemma4) now run their full forward on Device::Hip.
hipFree synchronizes the whole device, so freeing a temp after every op
serialized the ~1900 ops/token. The HIP runtime now pools freed device blocks
by exact byte size (ptr->size map so size-less free(ptr) still recycles) and
hands them back on the next same-size malloc — no hipFree, no sync, no
re-hipMalloc of the recurring per-token f32 dequant temps. Safe with the
current synchronous kernels (every op syncs before its temp frees).

Measured gemma4-12b: 0.85 -> up to 1.25 tok/s (1.47x) at a 2 GB pool. But the
resident 12B already sits at ~23.5 GB on the 24 GB XTX, so a big pool spills to
GTT; default cap is a conservative 512 MB (AKH_HIP_POOL_MB to override). The f32
dequant temps (Δ+5.5 GB/token) are the root VRAM+traffic cost — the fused
quantized GEMV (next) removes them entirely, freeing ~12 GB and the bandwidth.
candle-core --features hip 16/16 still green.
Decode is a matrix-vector product (b·m == 1), but QHipStorage::fwd was
dequantizing each weight to a full f32 [n,k] temp every token (4x the quantized
size) then GEMM'ing. New akh_gemv_q4k/q6k_f32 kernels dequantize each weight
inline and accumulate the dot product — streaming only the quantized weights,
never materializing f32. fwd dispatches to the GEMV on the single-row decode
path (contiguous f32 activation, in_dim % 256 == 0); prefill/batched keep the
dequant+GEMM path.

Measured gemma4-12b: VRAM 23.5 -> 20.0 GB, per-gen delta +5.49 -> +0.44 GB (the
f32 temps are eliminated), tok/s 0.85 -> 1.25 at a SAFE 512 MB pool + no GTT
spill (the 2 GB-pool 1.25 needed 25.7 GB). Headroom restored. Parity:
hip_gemv_decode_parity (Q4_K + Q6_K vs dequant-f32 ref, rel<1e-2);
candle-core --features hip 17/17. The remaining wall is per-op sync (next).
The strided kernels (binary/unary/reduce/reduce_arg/ucopy) uploaded their
dims/strides to a per-call device buffer via a *synchronous* hipMemcpy H2D —
~4000 stream-stalling copies/token. Now the metadata rides in the kernel launch
params by value (C struct AkhI64x8 / Rust repr(C) I64x8, rank<=8; the decode
path peaks at rank 5), so no per-op alloc / H2D / free. ucopy (KV-cache cat +
.contiguous()) was the last big source (~96/token).

Measured gemma4-12b: PCIe crossings 4052 -> 11/token (decode ~2/token; the
residual 481 H2D are one-time prefill mask cmp/where_cond) — the plan's
'<=2 crossings/token' metric. candle-core --features hip 17/17.

tok/s 1.25 -> 1.39 (modest): the H2D were small/fast; this also PROVES the
remaining wall is the ~1900 per-kernel hipDeviceSynchronize, not data movement.
That (async/streamed execution) is the next and biggest lever.
rocBLAS shares the default (null) stream with the kernels, so all work is
ordered on one stream; the per-kernel hipDeviceSynchronize (23 in the .hip
wrappers + 5 Rust-side per-op) was redundant for correctness — only the final
host readback needs a barrier, which the synchronous D2H hipMemcpy provides.
Removed them; decode now syncs ~twice/token (input id H2D up, logits D2H down).

candle-core --features hip 17/17 (the parity tests read results back via D2H,
so a broken ordering would fail them — it doesn't). gemma4-12b 1.39 -> 1.49.

The small gain is itself the finding: per-op sync was NOT the wall either. At
670 ms/token with the GPU running async, decode is COMPUTE-bound — the naive
one-thread-per-row GEMV is non-coalesced (~88x off peak bandwidth). The
coalesced warp-cooperative GEMV is the next (and real) lever.
The naive one-thread-per-row GEMV was non-coalesced: adjacent threads read
rows far apart in memory (~88x off peak bandwidth), the real decode wall once
sync/dequant/metadata were removed. Now ONE BLOCK (128 threads) per output row:
the block's threads stride over the row's weights so consecutive threads touch
consecutive positions (coalesced x[] + nearby quantized bytes), then a
shared-memory tree reduction. Block-per-row (not warp-per-row) is independent
of the gfx1100 wavefront size (wave32/64).

Measured gemma4-12b: 1.49 -> 2.65 tok/s, decode wall 32 -> 18 s, VRAM 20 GB.
Parity hip_gemv_decode_parity still holds (tree-reduce changes f32 rounding
order, within rel<1e-2). candle-core --features hip 17/17.

Cumulative Phase 45: 0.17 (op-offload) -> 2.65 tok/s = 15.6x; 2.3x over CPU
(1.16). Still 2% roofline — further GEMV tuning (cooperative superblock dequant,
vectorized loads) + fused norm/rope/softmax remain.
Add an env-gated timer around the fused decode GEMV (sync'd, so intrinsic time)
+ call count, exposed as candle_core::quantized::gemv_profile() and printed by
candle_bench. Off by default (the sync would serialize decode).

FINDING (gemma3-12b, 24 tok): GEMV = 1.85s / 8089 calls = 22.6% of decode wall
(229 us/call). So the quantized matmuls are NOT the dominant cost — the other
77% is the rest of the forward: ~2880 small elementwise kernels/token, dominated
by rms_norm_slow (~7 kernels x ~288 calls = ~2000 launches/token), plus rope/
softmax decompositions + attention rocBLAS.

REDIRECTS the roadmap: do NOT micro-optimize the GEMV further (cooperative
superblock dequant would chase 22.6%). The next lever is FUSING rms_norm / rope
/ softmax into single kernels (collapses ~2880 -> ~500 launches/token). Profile,
don't guess — again. candle-core --features hip 17/17.
Profiling (prev commit) showed the GEMV was only 23% of decode; rms_norm_slow's
~7-kernel decomposition (sqr/sum//hidden/+eps/sqrt/broadcast_div/broadcast_mul)
was the biggest source of decode kernel launches (~2000/token). New single-pass
akh_rms_norm_f32 kernel (one block per row: reduce sum(x^2), normalize, scale by
weight) exposed as a candle CustomOp2 (candle_core::cuda::rms_norm_fused); akh's
GemmaRmsNorm routes to it on the HIP device (gemma3 + gemma4), keeping the
candle-nn fast op on CPU byte-identical.

Measured: gemma3 2.96 -> 6.75, gemma4 2.65 -> 6.23 tok/s; decode 377 -> ~160
ms/token; VRAM ~20 GB; coherent. Parity fused_rms_norm_matches (vs the slow
decomposition, rel<1e-4); candle-core --features hip 18/18. GEMV now 47% of
decode (was 23%) — the elementwise cost dropped.

Cumulative Phase 45: 0.17 (op-offload) -> 6.75 tok/s = ~40x over baseline,
~5.8x over CPU. ~5% roofline. Next: fuse rope + softmax, then GEMV tuning.

Extend AKH_HIP_PROFILE with sync'd per-category timers (matmul/elementwise/copy,
candle_core::cuda::op_profile) so the bench splits decode into all categories.

FINDING (gemma3-12b, 32 tok): GEMV 43.5%, ATTENTION matmul (rocBLAS) 37.5%,
elementwise (rope/softmax) 10.5%, strided copy 5%, other ~3.5%. The attention
GEMMs are ~686 us/call for TINY decode matrices (m=1, head-batched) — pure
rocBLAS small-batch overhead, not compute. Would never have guessed it was 37.5%.

REDIRECTS again: the two big levers are (1) GEMV cooperative-superblock dequant
(43.5%), (2) a custom decode-attention kernel (q·kᵀ / softmax / ·v fused per
head) to bypass rocBLAS overhead (37.5%) — NOT fusing rope/softmax (only 10.5%).

Implemented the profiler's #1 lever (custom m==1 f32 batched-GEMV bypassing
rocBLAS for the two decode attention matmuls). Bit-exact vs CPU (q·kᵀ
transposed-rhs + scores·v contiguous-rhs). A/B via AKH_HIP_ATTN_KERNEL toggle:
short ctx 6.63 vs 6.66, long ctx (~3500 seq_kv) 3.28 vs 3.27 — within noise both
ways. Replacing rocBLAS changed nothing → reverted (git keeps it).

The lesson, 4th time over: under AKH_HIP_PROFILE=1 the custom kernel still
measured ~671µs/call, identical to rocBLAS. On a single ordered stream the
sync-bracketed per-category split is launch/drain latency, not GEMM compute —
per-category sync-profiling can't localize the real bottleneck in an async
pipeline. Next step is a reliable (event-based) profiler BEFORE more kernels.

The sync-bracket profiler (=1) is unreliable on a single ordered stream: its
leading sync drains prior queued work, over-attributing time to whichever op it
wraps (it billed attention 37.5% when removing attention changed nothing).

New AKH_HIP_PROFILE=event: hipEvent stream markers around each op — elapsed(A,B)
is the PURE GPU time of that op, no device drain. Pooled events (recycled,
flushed once per 4096 pairs), per-category counters, GEMV timed at the kernel
launch (clean window). Plus hipMalloc instrumentation (calls/misses/wall).

Honest decode map (gemma3-12b, gfx1100), event mode:
  short ctx: GEMV 46.5% (218µs/call) · attention 27% · eltwise 4.7% · copy 2.2%
             · malloc 0.8% · gap 19%
  long ctx:  attention 36% · GEMV 21% · copy 7.8% · malloc 6.9% · gap 29%

Findings: (1) malloc-sync REFUTED as the bottleneck (0.8% short ctx; hipMalloc
here is ~3µs, not a device sync). (2) The #1 general lever is GEMV: it streams
all 7.3GB of weights/token in 73ms = ~99 GB/s — only ~10% of the 960 GB/s
roofline. (3) attention's apparent share is whole-op window (host enqueue gap),
consistent with the custom-kernel A/B showing no gain. Next focused pass:
GEMV cooperative-superblock dequant + occupancy toward bandwidth roofline.

Add the control-plane method _akh/daemon/akhs returning [{name, awake, owned_here, model}] sourced from the live in-memory agent set (wake loads the agent + takes the pg advisory lock; sleep/relocate evicts + releases), so it reflects what is awake HERE rather than what is merely configured.

The event profiler found GEMV was the decode wall (46.5%, ~99 GB/s = 10% of
roofline). Two structural guesses failed first (cooperative-shared metadata
REGRESSED — metadata was already L1-cached; warp-shuffle alone was neutral), but
they isolated the real cost: the per-weight __half2float(d)/__half2float(dmin)
conversions, done redundantly for every weight.

New kernel: one warp per output row (32 lanes, 8 rows/256-block) with a
barrier-free __shfl_down reduction, and a SUPERBLOCK-OUTER loop so each lane owns
8 positions per 256-weight superblock and converts d/dmin ONCE per superblock
instead of once per weight (8x fewer half->float ops). gfx1100 is wave32.

Measured (gemma3-12b, gfx1100): GEMV 218 -> 49 us/call (4.4x); decode
6.75 -> 11.52 tok/s (1.72x) short ctx, 3.27 -> 3.88 long ctx; gemma4-12b
6.23 -> 9.80 (1.57x). Bit-exact (hip_gemv_decode_parity + q4k/q6k, 24/24),
coherent, VRAM unchanged (19.2 GB). ~5% -> ~8.8% of bandwidth roofline.

The lesson held: GEMV was compute-bound on redundant dequant conversions, NOT
the metadata traffic the first guess assumed. The reliable profiler made the
4.4x confirmable; revert-if-no-gain killed the two dead ends.

Split the profiler's former 'other' into NORM (fused rms_norm) + REDUCE
(softmax max/sum, argmax) + folded copy2d (KV-cat) into COPY; op_profile is now
a 5-tuple. All four are clean kernel-launch windows (GEMV-style).

Finding: reduce ~2.56s + matmul ~2.06s with Σ categories = 123% of wall. The
>100% + the size of those windows for TINY decode kernels means they are
dominated by GPU idle-gap: the GPU waits for the CPU to dispatch the next kernel.
**Decode is host-enqueue/dispatch-bound outside GEMV** (GEMV was the one genuine
compute-heavy op, which is why optimizing it was the only thing that moved tok/s).

Tested the implied fix: a fused single-kernel softmax (5 launches -> 1), built +
bit-exact parity (incl. -inf mask) — but ZERO decode gain (11.3 vs 11.5),
because removing kernels just redistributes the idle. Reverted per measure-or-
revert. Same reason the custom attention kernel gave nothing earlier.

The real lever for dispatch-bound decode is HIP graphs (capture the forward once,
replay with one host dispatch/token) — a substantial separate undertaking. The
model is fast + usable now (11.5 tok/s). candle-core --features hip 24/24.

Added hipStream*/hipGraph* runtime bindings + 2 candle-core tests that settle
whether HIP graphs can attack the dispatch-bound decode:

  hip_graph_capture_replay_memset      PASS — capture a malloc-free op on a
    created stream into a graph, instantiate, and REPLAY it correctly. The graph
    mechanism (the foundation for collapsing the per-token dispatch storm into one
    hipGraphLaunch) works on this ROCm 6.3 / gfx1100.

  hip_graph_capture_aborts_on_malloc   PASS — a synchronous hipMalloc during
    capture INVALIDATES it (hipStreamEndCapture errors). This is the blocker: the
    candle forward does ~388 hipMalloc/token (caching-allocator pool misses on the
    growing attention/KV buffers), so the live forward cannot be captured as-is.

Verdict: HIP graphs are mechanically viable but need (1) an allocation-free
static-buffer decode path (no per-op malloc during capture) AND (2) fixed-shape
(padded) attention so a captured graph survives the growing seq_kv across replays
— i.e. a static-shape inference engine, a major multi-session rewrite, not a
tweak. Foundation (bindings + proven capture/replay) committed for that work.

candle-core --features hip 26/26.

Measured Ollama (local llama.cpp/ROCm) at ~49 tok/s vs Candle's 11.5 on the same
gemma3-12b Q4_K GGUF / same RX 7900 XTX — 4.3x, half the VRAM. The gap is NOT
compute (GEMV already ~46% of roofline) but dispatch-bound decode + dynamic
shapes (per-token KV cat + ~388 hipMalloc/token).

Architecture decision: build a static-shape, allocation-free decode path
(static KV cache → flash-attention → allocation-free forward → HIP-graph
capture/replay). The key strategic point: this same static-buffer forward is the
prerequisite for an in-process backward/LoRA pass (Phase 27), so closing the
inference gap and enabling training are ONE rewrite. Ollama stays the workhorse
backing (ADR 070); Candle becomes the owned engine that does both.

Phases 46a (static KV) -> 46b (flash-attn) -> 46c (graphs) -> 46d (training),
each parity-gated + measured-or-reverted (Phase 45 discipline).

Replace the per-token Tensor::cat (which copies the whole growing KV cache each
step) with a fixed [b, n_kv_head, kv_ctx, head_dim] buffer allocated once per
layer: each token slice_set's the new position in place (one copy2d via the
existing hipMemcpy2D path) and attention reads the [0..pos+seq] prefix as a
narrow view. index_pos==0 starts a new sequence by overwriting from offset 0
(stale tail never read). CPU path keeps the dynamic cat, byte-identical.

kv_ctx is env AKH_KV_CTX (default 4096 ≈ 3.2 GB for the 12B). Output is
byte-identical to the cat path (same greedy tokens). gemma3 11.5->11.9,
gemma4 9.8->10.73 tok/s (short ctx); +3.2 GB VRAM (22.3 GB total, fits 24).

Modest standalone gain (cat was cheap) — the point is the FOUNDATION: fixed
buffer addresses are the prerequisite for flash-attention streaming (46b) and
HIP-graph capture (46c, which the 45 spike proved needs an allocation-free,
stable-pointer forward). ADR 074 / Phase 46 plan.

Phase 46 pool tuning. The fixed 512 MB caching-allocator cap is arbitrary; a
sweep on the RX 7900 XTX shows both 12B akhs sit ~23 GB resident on the 24 GB
card, so the only pool large enough to beat per-token hipMalloc/hipFree thrash
spills to GTT (>24 GB):

  gemma3-12b:  512 MB 10.6 tok/s @ 22.75 GB  ·  2048 MB 11.56 @ 23.78 (+9%, fits)
  gemma4-12b:  512 MB  9.4 tok/s @ 23.15 GB  ·  2048 MB 10.37 @ 24.65 (+10%, SPILL)

So 512 MB is already the safe, near-optimal default here — the gain is spill-gated.
Rather than change the default (no safe win on this card), add an OPT-IN adaptive
policy and keep fixed 512 as the default (byte-identical: default measured 10.62 @
22.75, same as before):

  - hipMemGetInfo binding + Hip::mem_info().
  - Pool gains margin_bytes; free() recycles a block only while >= margin stays free
    (live query — a real free RAISES free VRAM, so the self-balance needs the current
    value; a stale sample over-frees and thrashes). Auto-sizes to real headroom: big
    on a roomy GPU, small on a tight one (never spills), and shrinks when other akhs
    become resident — the multi-akh-safe behavior a fixed cap can't give.
  - Env: AKH_HIP_POOL_MARGIN_MB=<n> opts into adaptive (~2560 fits 12B/24 GB);
    AKH_HIP_POOL_MB=<n> forces a fixed cap (e.g. 2048 for the +10% spill-gain on a
    dedicated GPU); neither set => fixed 512.

NB (measure-don't-guess): the Phase 46b flash-attention decode kernel's apparent
+6% on gemma3 was a POOL artifact — pool-matched at 2048 MB it is -1..-3% (decode is
dispatch-bound, attention compute was never the wall). That WIP is stashed for 46c
(its allocation-free fixed-shape attention is what HIP-graph capture needs), not here.

VRAM analysis (Phase 46): each layer built its own [MAX_SEQ_LEN=131072 x head_dim]
cos/sin RoPE cache (~134 MB), so a 48-layer 12B model carried ~6.4 GB of caches —
but only 2 distinct rope frequencies exist (global + sliding-window), making 46 of
them exact duplicates. Memoize one Arc<RotaryEmbedding> per distinct rope config
(gemma3 keyed by freq bits; gemma4 by (head_dim, rotary_pairs, freq)) and share it
across layers. Byte-identical output (the shared caches are the same tensors that
were rebuilt per-layer), throughput unchanged.

  gemma3-12b: 22.75 -> 16.17 GB   gemma4-12b: 22.76 -> 15.70 GB

Largest of the three VRAM wins identified vs llama.cpp (which computes rope on the
fly). Next: quantized embedding get_rows (~3.2 GB) + f16 KV (~1.8 GB).
VRAM analysis #2: the token_embd table (Q6_K, ~1 B rows) was dequantized to a 4.03 GB
f32 tensor at load just to index rows out of it, and the tied lm_head loaded a 2nd
copy. llama.cpp keeps it quantized and dequantizes only the looked-up rows.

Add a quantized get_rows path that does the same:
  - HIP kernels akh_get_rows_q4k/q6k_f32 — dequant only the rows named in `indices`
    (dequant body copied verbatim from the proven row-major dequant kernels; source
    row = indices[output_row]).
  - candle: QuantKernels::get_rows + QCudaStorage::get_rows (uploads the small index
    list, mallocs the f32 output) + QTensor::get_rows (GPU fast path for Q4_K/Q6_K,
    dequantize+index_select fallback otherwise).
  - models: keep tok_embeddings as Arc<QTensor> (no f32 expansion), look up via
    get_rows, and share the one resident copy with the tied lm_head via QMatMul::from_arc.

Parity: get_rows_q4k_q6k_matches is bit-identical (1e-6) to a full dequantize +
index_select; bench output byte-identical, throughput unchanged. candle-core

VRAM analysis #3: the static KV cache was f32 ([b, n_kv_head, kv_ctx=4096, head_dim]
~3.2 GB). Store it f16 (llama.cpp's default) — K/V cast to f16 on slice_set, the read
prefix cast back to f32 for the f32 attention matmul (the prefix is `len` positions,
not the whole kv_ctx, so the f32 transient stays small).

This needed an f16 strided gather (`.contiguous()` on the strided KV prefix view): add
ucopy_f16 (a raw 2-byte gather — correct for f16 since the copy does no arithmetic) and
route DType::F16 through it in copy_strided_src. slice_set already worked (copy2d is
dtype-agnostic). candle-core --features hip op_tests 18/18; bench output coherent
(greedy decode unchanged); throughput ~1-3% lower from the per-token f16<->f32 casts —
the expected precision/VRAM tradeoff.

  gemma3-12b: 12.14 -> 10.50 GB   gemma4-12b: 11.67 -> 10.24 GB

CUMULATIVE (rope + quantized embed + f16 KV):

Before committing to the full static-shape graph rewrite, validate the make-or-break
assumptions on gfx1100. Adds a process-global launch stream (runtime::current_stream /
set_current_stream; null = default stream, unchanged normal execution) and threads it
through the affine kernel as the first real launcher. New test
hip_graph_capture_replay_real_kernel proves:
  - the caching pool returns a STABLE pointer for repeated same-size malloc/free (LIFO)
    — so identical per-token allocations land at identical addresses;
  - a REAL compute kernel launched on the capture stream, writing a pool-allocated
    buffer, is recorded into a hipGraph and REPLAYS correctly;
  - updating the input buffer between replays flows through (the per-token "new token /
    KV position" update model).

This is the foundation the previous session's graph spike (a969090) was missing — it
only proved memset. Normal execution is byte-identical (affine launches on the null
stream when current_stream is unset); candle-core --features hip op_tests 19/19; bench
unchanged (gemma3 11.76 tok/s @ 10.43 GB).

Next (the full build, now de-risked): thread the stream through the remaining ~30
launchers + rocBLAS (rocblas_set_stream) + memcpy; fixed-shape padded attention to kill
the growing-shape hipMalloc (40.7/token); capture the decode forward once + replay one
hipGraphLaunch/token, updating only the token/KV/mask input buffers between replays.

First foundation piece of the HIP-graph build (decode capture/replay). Both kernel
libraries (elementwise + quant) gain a C++ global launch stream `g_akh_stream`
(0 = default) + an `akh_set_stream` setter; all 25 launchers route their launches
through it instead of hardcoding the null stream. `runtime::set_current_stream` pushes
the stream into BOTH libraries' globals (and keeps the Rust-side static for the rocBLAS
/ memcpy paths still to be wired). The de-risk affine param is reverted to the global.

A global beats threading a stream param through ~30 signatures: zero FFI churn for the
other launchers, one setter call to redirect the whole library into capture.

Normal execution is byte-identical (the global is null unless capture sets it):
gemma3 11.76 tok/s @ 10.43 GB; candle-core --features hip op_tests 19/19 (the
real-kernel capture/replay spike now exercises this global-stream path).

Next: rocBLAS (rocblas_set_stream) + memcpy/copy2d async on the stream; then
fixed-shape padded attention + capturing the decode forward.

Second foundation piece. The decode forward also issues rocBLAS GEMMs (attention) and
on-device copies (KV slice_set copy2d, .contiguous() D2D) — both synchronous, both abort
graph capture. Now:
  - Rocblas binds rocblas_set_stream + set_current_stream routes GEMMs onto the capture
    stream (so the attention matmuls record into the graph).
  - memcpy / memcpy2d bind the async variants (hipMemcpyAsync / hipMemcpy2DAsync) and use
    them for D2D when a capture stream is set; H2D/D2H stay synchronous (they run outside
    the captured region — input upload / logits readback between replays).

New test hip_graph_capture_replay_matmul captures a candle matmul (→ rocBLAS) on the
stream and replays it correctly — validating the rocBLAS path + a real op's pool
allocations are graph-capturable, not just bare kernels.

Normal execution byte-identical (async paths gated on a non-null capture stream):
gemma3 11.75 tok/s @ 10.43 GB; candle-core --features hip op_tests 20/20.

With kernels + rocBLAS + memcpy all stream-routed, every op the decode forward issues
can now be captured. Next: fixed-shape padded attention (kill the 40.7 growing-shape
hipMalloc/token) + capture the forward once / replay per token.

Split quantized_gemma3 hidden_states into:
- embed(x): the token get_rows (a synchronous index D2H+H2D) + scale — the
  per-token host-synchronizing work that must run OUTSIDE a HIP-graph capture.
- hidden_states_from_embed(layer_in, pos): the transformer stack + final norm
  over a precomputed embedding (byte-identical to the post-embedding body).
- forward_from_embed(layer_in, pos): the HIP-graph-capturable region of decode
  (attention/MLP/norm/output projection — pure device work).

hidden_states/forward now thin wrappers; prefill mask keeps the U32 (token-id)
dtype the original passed via x.dtype(). Byte-identical decode: gemma3-12b sample
text identical, PCIe 947 (7.4/tok) identical, 10.27 vs 10.33 tok/s (noise).

- model-scaled iteration backstop from the context window (GLM/gemma4 -> 30,

- per-turn wall-clock budget (300s; AKH_AGENT_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS)
- repeat-loop detection: same (tool,args) issued AKH_AGENT_REPEAT_LIMIT (3) times
  ends the turn — makes a high backstop safe (drill-downs run, spins die at 3)
- forced tool-free final synthesis on exhaustion instead of a bare cutoff

4 unit tests (cap scaling, iteration stop, repeat-loop stop-before-cap,
distinct-calls). ADR 075.

Recall was effectively write-only for fine-grained answers: query terms had to
resolve to the EXACT stored symbol (else it fell back to recency — the "same 5
episodes for every query" failure), and the output showed only the episode
summary (a hash) + learning/tag COUNTS, forcing multi-round kg_query drilldown.

Now memory_recall (1) fuzzy-expands query terms to any symbol whose label
contains them (capped) so "cluster" reaches `cluster-topology`, (2) re-ranks the
recalled pool by query-term relevance, and (3) emits each episode's resolved
FACTS + tags inline. Measured on the 8 grounded journal probes: same 6/8 but
utf8-panic now answers from recall alone in ~7s (was grep+kg_query), median
30s→21s. Residual misses are import-granularity (detail not stored as a discrete
fact) + probe ground-truth, not recall discrimination.

The decode forward now captures into a hipGraph and replays in ONE dispatch,
byte-identical to eager: gemma3-12b fixed-position probe parity max|Δlogits|=0,
replay 41.6 vs eager 31.3 tok/s (1.33x, the dispatch-idle win) at P=22.

Public API (`candle_core::cuda`):
- `HipGraph { capture(closure) -> (graph, R); replay() }` — records the device
  work a closure issues into a hipGraph, instantiates, replays in one
  hipGraphLaunch. Restores the launch stream via a guard on every exit path.
- `device_synchronize()` — null-stream drain (fair per-iter eager timing).
- `run_on_private_stream(closure)` — run eagerly on a private stream (diagnostic:
  proves every op honors the launch stream).

Enabling fixes (each was a capture-aborter / silent-miscompute, found by
bisecting capture failures down through op_tests):
- **cast on stream 0 → g_akh_stream** (`AKH_CAST_LAUNCH`, elementwise.hip): THE
  correctness bug. The f16↔f32 cast (the KV cache's per-layer read cast) launched
  on the null stream, so under capture it ran UN-captured (ROCm doesn't abort on
  it here) → missing from the replay → the attention read stale K/V, a ~0.05/layer
  error compounding to a wholly-wrong full-forward replay (max|Δ|=43.5). In normal
  execution g_akh_stream is null, so this is byte-identical there (verified: decode
  sample text + 10.31 tok/s unchanged). Every other launcher already used it.
- **event_time skips during capture** (hip_backend.rs): rms_norm/reduce/copy/GEMV
  wrap kernels in `event_time`, which does `hipEventRecord` on the null stream —
  a cross-stream op that invalidates a Global-mode capture. Skip profiling while a
  launch stream is set.
- **rocBLAS fixed workspace** (`rocblas_set_workspace`, 64 MB): in automatic mode
  rocBLAS hipMallocs GEMM workspace per call, which aborts capture. A user-owned
  workspace removes the per-call alloc.

op_tests (all green, gfx1100): HipGraph struct capture/replay; batched-matmul;
chain (heavy pool reuse); attn_block (slice_set + f16 KV gather + cast + repeat_kv
+ batched matmul + softmax — the regression guard that caught the cast-stream bug).
Full op_tests 24/24.

`CandleBackend::bench_graph_replay` + `GraphBenchStats` + candle_bench mode
(`AKH_BENCH_GRAPH=1`): the make-or-break measurement for whether graph replay
closes the dispatch-bound decode gap. Prefills a prompt to a fixed position P,
captures `forward_from_embed` at P (the embedding lookup's host-sync D2H+H2D
stays outside the captured region; gemma3 only), and replays it, comparing
eager-vs-single-dispatch throughput + bit-exact parity.

Allocation-clean: every reference forward is read to a host Vec and its device
tensor dropped before capture — holding a live logits buffer drains the pool of
that block so the capture forward's own logits alloc misses → a hipMalloc that
aborts capture.

Diagnostics that localized the capture bugs: warm-forward malloc miss (pool
capturability), stream-eager diff (all ops honor the launch stream), replay
determinism (first vs last). AKH_BENCH_GRAPH_HIDDEN=1 captures
`hidden_states_from_embed` only (bisect layers vs lm_head).

Result (gemma3-12b @ P=22, default pool): capture 0-miss, parity argmax MATCH /
max|Δlogits|=0, replay 41.6 vs eager 31.3 tok/s = 1.33x. The dispatch-idle
hypothesis is confirmed with byte-exact output. NB this is forward-only at a
fixed position (best case, most dispatch-bound); real per-token decode (moving
KV write + growing shapes) is Phase 46d.

The 46d static-shape investigation's decisive finding: on the resident Device::Hip
decode path the bottleneck is the caching allocator's *cap*, not shape-uniqueness.
The per-token transient working set is ~3 GB; the old fixed 512 MB default thrashed
(constant evict + re-hipMalloc, each a device sync). A pool sweep (gemma3-12b,
P~200-330, long prompt) plateaus at 3 GB:

  512 MB 7.25 | 2 GB 9.57 | 3 GB 10.39 | 4/6 GB 10.35/10.37 (13.50 GB peak / 24 GB)

The earlier "512 MB near-optimal" was the op-offload config (AKH_GPU_MATMUL=1,
~23 GB resident → any real pool spills to GTT); the resident path sits ~10.5 GB so it
has ~13 GB of headroom to spend.

Change: make the adaptive policy the DEFAULT with a floor — always recycle up to the
512 MB cap, then grow while >= 2.5 GB stays free (live hipMemGetInfo). Strictly >= the
old fixed-512 behavior: on a roomy single-12B GPU it auto-reaches the plateau, under
VRAM pressure (multi-akh / op-offload / 27B) it falls back to the floor and never OOMs.
The under-floor fast path also skips the mem_info query on most frees.

Measured (new default, no env), parity-exact (byte-identical sample text), graph-compatible:
  gemma3-12b 7.25 -> 10.43 tok/s (+44%), 13.50 GB peak
  gemma4-12b 7.13 ->  9.60 tok/s (+35%), 16.34 GB peak
  46c graph probe: 0 malloc-miss (capturable), 1.29x replay, max|dlogits| 0
Escape hatch AKH_HIP_POOL_MB=512 restores the old 7.24 tok/s exactly.

candle-core hip lib tests 33/33 (--test-threads=1; the graph capture tests share the
process-global current-stream and are pre-existing-flaky in parallel, clean code too).

Block-padding the decode KV read (the originally-planned 46d-1 static-shape step) was
implemented and REVERTED: measure-or-revert showed it net-loses to simply sizing the
pool (its per-token tail mask added ~49k host-sync crossings; even zero-h2d it would
only remove the ~240 cheap growing-buffer misses/token, ~2-3% at a 3 GB pool). It
remains the prerequisite for a real per-token graph (46d-2), not an eager win on its own.

A captured graph's intermediate buffers sit in the pool free-list after capture. In a
real per-token decode loop the embed/argmax/sample work between replays allocates from
that same pool — and would draw a graph-intermediate address, so the next replay stomps
live data (or reads garbage). This is the foundational blocker for 46d-2.

Fix: capture-scoped allocation tracking + pinning.
- Pool gains a capture_track list; every malloc (pool hit OR hipMalloc miss) records into
  it while set.
- HipGraph::capture brackets the closure with pool_capture_begin/end, then pool_pin removes
  the touched intermediates that are back in the free-list (the still-live result buffer is
  owned by its returned Tensor, not in the free-list, so it is skipped) and holds them live
  for the graph's lifetime. Drop returns them via pool_unpin.
- StreamGuard also clears capture_track on every exit (panic / early-error safe).

Intra-capture reuse is preserved (frees during the closure still hit the free-list, so the
working set stays ~1-2 layers, not 48x — only the small unique touched set is pinned).

De-risk test hip_graph_pinning_survives_interleaved_allocs: capture a residual+norm chain,
then allocate 32 LIVE victim blocks of the intermediate size and replay 4x. Output stays
byte-exact AND every victim's stamped pattern survives. VERIFIED meaningful: with pinning
disabled the test fails ('victim block stomped by graph replay').

candle-core hip lib tests 34/34 (--test-threads=1), default build green.
reconstruct_episode read the episode label's 3rd segment as the summary, but the
typed memory_write path puts a hash/timestamp discriminator there (the summary is
in has_summary) — so recall surfaced a hash. Prefer has_summary; the label
segment is now only a fallback (cycle episodes). Also records, in memory_recall,
that full S-P-O fact rendering was tried and reverted (regressed 6/8 -> 2/8:
context bloat + cross-episode triples_from noise) — subject-only stays.

A per-token decode forward writes the new token's K/V to KV-cache column index_pos, which
advances every token. slice_set bakes that offset host-side, so a captured graph would
always write the capture-time column — wrong on the next token. This is the second blocker
for a real per-token decode graph (after 46d-2a working-set pinning).

Fix: read the write column from the DEVICE so one captured graph follows the position.
- kv_scatter_f16_kernel (elementwise.hip): src[n_kv,head_dim] -> kbuf[n_kv,kv_ctx,head_dim]
  at column *d_pos, read from global memory (2-byte f16 raw copy, dtype-agnostic).
- KvScatter InplaceOp2 + candle_core::cuda::kv_scatter_at(kbuf, src, d_pos) (in-place on
  kbuf via candle's blessed inplace op path).
- DevicePos: a persistent single-u32 device buffer with a STABLE address; set() writes the
  new position via a 4-byte H2D OUTSIDE the captured region, so the captured kernel reads the
  updated value on each replay.

Tests (candle-core --features hip, --test-threads=1):
- kv_scatter_at_matches_slice_set: byte-identical to host-offset slice_set at every position.
- kv_scatter_graph_replay_follows_device_pos: capture at pos 2, advance d_pos to 6, replay —
  the replay writes column 6 (not 2), proving device-pos indirection works inside a graph.

A real per-token graph decode has THREE position-dependent reads that must all follow the
advancing position from one device variable: the KV-write column (46d-2b scatter, raw ptr),
the rope cos/sin row (candle index_select on a u32 tensor), and the causal mask (candle ops
on a u32 tensor). u32_device_ptr extracts the raw device pointer from an in-place-updated
u32 candle tensor, so a SINGLE d_pos tensor serves both the candle-op readers and the
raw-ptr scatter — no duplicate position buffers to keep in sync.

Test u32_device_ptr_feeds_kv_scatter: a candle u32 d_pos tensor (updated via slice_set)
drives kv_scatter_at to the same bytes as host-offset slice_set. 37/37 hip lib tests,

A streaming generation that keeps producing tokens was being killed merely for
being long: every call used ureq's request `.timeout()` (a TOTAL cap covering
the whole read). The opencode/aider pattern is a connect timeout + a per-read
(idle) timeout — abort only when the stream goes silent. chat_agent() now builds
a ureq Agent with timeout_connect(20s) + timeout_read(timeout_secs); the 3
chat/generate paths use it. `timeout_secs` now bounds the gap BETWEEN chunks.

Result: patch now extracts (was no_diff_in_answer). The genuine failure surfaces
one layer deeper — the model's diff is structurally corrupt (git apply fails) —
i.e. a real capability result, not a parse/infra artifact. (Daemon parsing

The per-token HIP-graph decode (46d-2d) must capture a forward whose only changing input
is the device position. This threads a GraphDecodeCtx through the gemma3 decode forward so
every position-dependent read comes from one in-place-updatable device u32 (d_pos), and the
attention reads a FIXED block-padded KV slice — the prerequisites for a single captured
graph to follow the advancing position across replays.

GraphDecodeCtx { d_pos: u32[1], positions: arange u32[read_len], read_len } (akh-medu
quantized_gemma3); Option<&GraphDecodeCtx> plumbed through forward_from_embed ->
hidden_states_from_embed -> forward_attn + apply_rotary_emb_qkv. When Some (decode only):
- rope: cos/sin rows via index_select(&d_pos)  (== narrow(0, pos, 1)),
- KV write: kv_scatter_at(kbuf, k_f16, *d_pos) (hip; == host-offset slice_set, 46d-2b),
- KV read: fixed narrow(0, read_len)           (block-padded, constant shape per position),
- mask: ONE additive f32 mask relu(positions - pos)*(-1e30), broadcast_add — drives the
  padded tail to exactly 0 in softmax (exp(-1e30)=0), bit-identical to attending only
  [0, pos] (what normal decode does with no mask). Additive, NOT a U8 where_cond keep-mask:
  the HIP device has no U8 cast (to_dtype U8->U32 unimplemented).
All other callers pass None -> byte-identical to the existing path (prefill + CPU + the 46c
fixed-position probe unchanged).

Gate (AKH_BENCH_GRAPH_PARITY=1, gemma3-12b @ P=231, run EAGERLY — no capture yet):
  exact  read_len=P+1 : max|Δlogits| 0.000e0  BYTE-EXACT
  padded read_len=240 : max|Δlogits| 0.000e0  BYTE-EXACT
device-pos rope + kv_scatter_at + block-padding + additive mask reproduce the normal decode
logits bit-for-bit. Normal generate path unchanged (gemma3-12b 11.7 tok/s, coherent).

candle_bench: AKH_BENCH_GRAPH_PARITY mode + GraphDecodeParity. Default (non-hip) build green

The payoff of 46d-2: a single captured graph decodes a whole sequence. Because every
position-dependent read now comes from the device d_pos (rope index_select, kv_scatter_at
column, additive mask — 46d-2a/2b/2c), ONE graph captured at read_len = P + max_new follows
the advancing position across replays. Per token (outside capture): refresh a fixed embed_buf
in place + a 4-byte set_pos(d_pos), then a single hipGraphLaunch runs the forward.

bench_graph_decode_loop (AKH_BENCH_GRAPH_LOOP=1, gemma3-12b, P=231): generates the sequence
eagerly (forward_from_embed None, exact prefix — the real baseline) AND by graph replay, then
A/Bs them:

  warm fwd allocs : 0 miss                 (allocation-stable forward -> clean capture)
  tokens match    : YES (graph == eager)   <- correctness gate
  eager           : 10.54 tok/s
  graph           : 11.54 tok/s
  speedup         : 1.09-1.10x             (stable across 64/128-token runs)

It beats eager and decodes byte-identical tokens, so per measure-or-revert it stays. The net
win (~1.10x) is below the forward-only ceiling (1.26-1.33x, 46c) because the per-token embed
(host-sync quantized get_rows) and sampling are identical in both paths and do not speed up —
they dilute the dispatch win. Closing that gap (device-side sampling, a capturable embedding
path) is the next lever, not more graph machinery.

Notes:
- One graph for the whole run (not per-block): read_len = P + max_new padded; the > pos tail
  is masked each replay from d_pos. Block recapture would only trim the small masked-attention
  overhead — the dominant per-token cost is the fixed MLP/projection work + host-sync.
- Stale KV in the masked padding region (prior eager run / zero-init) is finite f16 -> weight
  0 in softmax -> bit-exact (same argument as 46d-2c).
- Default (non-hip) build green (method is #[cfg(all(candle-backend, hip))]).

The shared primitive for speculative decoding (ADR 075): score every candidate position in one
forward. gemma4 `ModelWeights::forward_verify(x, index_pos) -> [1, seq, vocab]` via
`run_layers(last_only=false)` — the existing prefill `seq>1` path minus the last-position slice,
plus a pure-causal continuation mask (`verify_mask`: host-built `from_slice`, no device
`const_set`/`ones`; NO sliding window so it matches `seq==1` decode, which passes `mask=None`).
`last_only` threads through `run_layers`; the existing callers pass `true` -> byte-identical.

Gate (AKH_BENCH_VERIFY=1, gemma4-12b, P=188): `bench_verify_parity` A/Bs `forward_verify` against
incremental single-token decode. No re-prefill between the two runs — the prefix [0, P) is written
once and shared (both only write [P, P+n)); a re-prefill re-runs the (non-deterministic) rocBLAS
prefill GEMM and was the entire early confound:
  n=1  : max|Δlogits| 0.000e0   BYTE-EXACT  (per-position math correct: norm, lm_head, attn, KV)
  n=8  : max|Δlogits| 1.0e-2     argmax 8/8
  n=16 : max|Δlogits| 1.6e-2     argmax 16/16
  n=32 : max|Δlogits| 1.2e-2     argmax 32/32

The n>1 logit divergence is the INHERENT quant-kernel m-sensitivity — incremental projections use
the fused m=1 GEMV, the verify uses the m=n GEMM (different dequant/accumulate), NOT a bug — and it
never flips the greedy argmax (100% agreement to gamma=32). So the verify is greedy-lossless in
practice for the small gamma (3-8) speculative decode uses.

NB the gemma4 `mask()` `index_pos>0` branch is dead + broken (prepends `zeros` = mask-OUT, and a
F32/U32 `cat` dtype error); left as-is (out of scope) — the verify path uses its own correct mask.
Default (non-hip) build green. Next: 47b n-gram prompt-lookup drafter, 47c accept/rollback loop.

LayerWeights::mask()'s `index_pos > 0` branch (continuation prefill / multi-token decode at a
non-zero position) was dead code with two bugs: it prepended `Tensor::zeros` (0 = mask OUT — the
convention forward_attn consumes — so the whole cached prefix [0, index_pos) would be ignored;
should be keep) AND built that prefix as F32 then `cat`'d it with the U32 causal block (a dtype
mismatch that would error). Never exercised (decode is seq=1 -> mask=None; prefill is
index_pos=0), so never caught.

Rewrite via a host-built full mask: `causal_mask_rows(seq_len, index_pos, window)` returns the
`[seq_len * (index_pos + seq_len)]` U32 row-major mask (1=keep / 0=mask), causal in GLOBAL
coordinates (query `i` at global position `index_pos + i` keeps every key `j <= index_pos + i`),
preserving the per-layer sliding window (`j + window < index_pos + i` -> drop). One
`Tensor::from_slice` — no device `ones`/`const_set` (unimplemented on the HIP backend). For
`index_pos == 0` it is byte-identical to the original prefill mask. gemma4's Phase-47
`verify_mask` now reuses it (the `window = None` case).

Tests: 6 unit tests (`causal_mask_rows`: prefill lower-triangular, continuation keeps the whole
prefix, sliding window in global coords) — the first real coverage of the continuation branch.
No regression on the live paths: gemma4 47a verify n=1 byte-exact / 8-of-8 argmax; gemma3 46d-2

Finds the most recent earlier occurrence of the current suffix (longest n-gram first, max_ngram→
min_ngram) and proposes the up-to-γ tokens that followed it. Target-vocab only → works for gemma4
(no compatible separate draft model). Empty on no-match → caller takes one normal decode step.
O(len·max_ngram)/call (naive scan; a suffix-automaton/rolling-hash index is future work for very
long contexts).

Also accept_run(draft, verify_argmax) — the pure greedy-accept half of 47c: counts the leading
draft tokens equal to the target's per-position argmax (byte-exact-greedy by construction).

6 unit tests (recent-ngram continuation, most-recent-occurrence, longer-ngram-preferred,
no-match/tiny-history, accept-run). Default build green. 47c wires these + gemma4 forward_verify

bench_spec_decode (gemma4, AKH_BENCH_SPEC=1): plain greedy vs prompt-lookup speculative decode
(n-gram drafter + one forward_verify/round, accept the matching greedy prefix, implicit KV
rollback — the next round just writes from the new position, overwriting the rejected tail).
Tokens MATCH plain on every prompt tested (greedy-lossless in practice, per 47a). Measured
gemma4-12b:
  free-form (photosynthesis) : accept  6%, 1.23 tok/fwd -> 0.47x  (SLOWER)
  high-echo (repeat API list): accept 44%, 4.57 tok/fwd -> 1.07x  (faster)

FINDING — the win is gated by the VERIFY FORWARD COST, not acceptance. A verify over m=gamma+1
tokens routes EVERY quantized matmul (q/k/v/o + MLP + lm_head, x48 layers) through the
dequant+GEMM path: there is NO fused GEMV for m>1, so it materializes the full f32 weights.
Measured verify ~= 4x a single-token decode. So a round needs mean(accepted)+1 > ~4 just to break
even, and a REJECTED draft round costs ~4x a plain step for nothing -> PLD HURTS on low-echo
(correcting the earlier "never materially hurts" claim).

The real lever (next, 47d): a BATCHED FUSED quantized GEMV (m=n, dequant inline, no full-weight
temp -- extends the Phase 45h decode GEMV). That drops the verify toward ~1x plain, making spec
decode a broad win AND harmless on misses. Bench-gated infra only (not wired into production
decode). Default + hip builds green.

The spec-decode verify forward runs m=γ+1 activation rows against the quantized
weights. The m=1 decode GEMV (45h) dequantizes each weight once and uses it once;
the m>1 path fell through to dequant-full-f32 + rocBLAS GEMM, materializing the 4×
f32 weight temp and amortizing it over only ~9 rows — so verify cost ≈ 4× a single
decode (measured 47c), which made spec decode a LOSS on low-echo workloads.

47d adds a templated batched GEMV that keeps the warp-per-row, dequant-once-per-
superblock structure but carries M accumulators per lane (one per activation row),
reusing each dequantized weight across all M rows in registers — quantized weights
streamed exactly once, no f32 temp. M is a template param (acc[M] in registers);
a C dispatch macro selects the instantiation for runtime m (1..=16); larger m routes
to GEMM (which amortizes dequant well). Q4_K + Q6_K.

2 <= b*m <= 16, contiguous f32 activation, k%256==0. Opt-in via AKH_GEMV_BATCH=1

- hip_gemv_batched_parity: Q4_K/Q6_K m=2,4,7,9 match the dequant-f32 reference to
  ~1.5e-7 rel (f32 rounding; the m=1 parity tests are unchanged).
- gemma4-12b end-to-end, tokens MATCH plain greedy (lossless):
    high-echo (75% accept, 5.37 tok/fwd): spec 14.24->23.94 tok/s, 1.45x->2.45x
    free-form (3%  accept, 1.09 tok/fwd): spec  ... ,               0.47x->0.71x
  i.e. the batched GEMV lifts spec-decode throughput 1.68x (verify ~4x->~1.5x a
  decode; the residual is the non-quantized attention/norm work that scales with m).

Plan RESULTS + ADR 075 update: the batched fused quantized GEMV (m=n) cut the
verify from ~4x a decode to ~1.5x, lifting gemma4-12b spec-decode throughput 1.68x
(high-echo 1.45x->2.45x, free-form 0.47x->0.71x), lossless. Validated on gfx1100.
PLD stays workload-conditional -> echo-gate in production. Records that this box has
the HIP toolchain (amdclang++) + a gfx1100 GPU, so the work was compiled/run/measured
in-place.
Wires speculative decode into production text generation (generate_inner), not just
the bench. Design keeps the proven plain decode_loop byte-identical for every
non-spec case:

- Extract a shared per-token DecodeState + process_token(token, eos, stop) that does
  the detokenize + StopMode (EOS / brace-depth / newline / chat-end) bookkeeping.
  decode_loop now calls it; spec_decode_loop calls it once per accepted/bonus token,
  so stop + detokenization semantics are identical across both loops.
- spec_decode_loop (gemma4, greedy only): n-gram prompt-lookup draft -> one
  forward_verify -> greedy accept-run -> emit accepted + bonus; implicit free KV
  rollback (device-pos static cache). Borrow-scoped so the &mut model verify releases
  before process_token(&self) runs.
- Echo-gate: production drafter uses min_ngram=2, so low-echo text falls back to cheap
  m=1 verifies (== plain cost) instead of paying for rejected gamma-rounds. This
  removes the free-form penalty the 47c bench saw at min_ngram=1.
- spec_decode_eligible(): greedy (temperature==0) AND gemma4 AND AKH_SPEC_DECODE=1.
  Temperature sampling and other families always take plain decode (spec decode is
  greedy-lossless; sampling needs 47e). Warns if AKH_GEMV_BATCH!=1 (correct but slow).
- candle_bench: AKH_BENCH_GEN=1 probe exercises the real generate() path for A/B.

Validated on gfx1100, gemma4-12b (AKH_SPEC_DECODE=1 AKH_GEMV_BATCH=1):
- high-echo (repeat-a-list): wall 13.93s -> 7.15s (1.95x end-to-end incl prefill);
  output BYTE-IDENTICAL to plain decode (same md5).
- free-form: wall ~neutral (+1.7%, noise) thanks to the min_ngram=2 echo-gate; output
  byte-identical.

Off by default (env-gated) -> zero change to existing decode behavior. Phase 47 / ADR 075.

Plan RESULTS + ADR 075: spec decode wired into generate_inner->spec_decode_loop
(greedy+gemma4+AKH_SPEC_DECODE=1, off by default), shared process_token keeps plain
and spec stop semantics byte-identical, min_ngram=2 echo-gate removes the free-form
penalty. Validated gfx1100 gemma4-12b: high-echo generate() 13.93s->7.15s (1.95x),
byte-identical output; free-form ~neutral.
Move speculative-decode enablement from the AKH_SPEC_DECODE env flag to typed,
per-akh config that a tool can flip live.

- AkhConfig.spec_decode (akh.toml scalar, default false) — persists the choice.
- InferenceOptions (new src/inference_options.rs): a small lock-free bundle
  (AtomicBool spec_decode) held behind an Arc by the Engine and shared with the
  Candle backend, so a change is seen next turn without locking the model mutex.
- Engine owns Arc<InferenceOptions> + inference_options() accessor (per-akh, like
  hierarchy_dirty/mutation_sink).
- akhomed seeds the engine's flag from akh_config.spec_decode and shares the Arc into
  the CandleBackend (set_inference_options) at construction.
- CandleBackend.spec_decode_eligible reads the shared flag (env AKH_SPEC_DECODE stays
  as a fallback for standalone benches/tests with no engine wired).
- inference_config agent tool (get/set): `set spec_decode on|off` flips the live Arc
  via &Engine; the backend observes it on the next turn. Safe (no KG writes; spec
  decode is greedy-lossless). Persist via akh.toml.

Tests: tool toggles the engine's shared flag at runtime (integration), permissive bool
parsing, bad-input rejection; AkhConfig roundtrip stays backward-compatible (legacy TOML
without spec_decode loads as false). On gfx1100 the env-fallback path still drives the
production spec loop byte-identically (13.9s -> 7.2s, 1.94x high-echo).

Plan + ADR 075: enablement moved from AKH_SPEC_DECODE env to AkhConfig.spec_decode
(akh.toml), seeded into a shared Arc<InferenceOptions> on the Engine that the Candle
backend reads; inference_config agent tool flips it live via &Engine (the bridge, since
a Tool only sees &Engine, not chat_backend). Env stays a bench/test fallback.
Flip AKH_GEMV_BATCH from opt-in (=1) to opt-out (=0). The batched fused quantized
GEMV (m=n) is validated bit-exact, so make it the default for small-m quantized
matmuls (spec-decode verify + short prefills), avoiding the 4× f32 weight temp the
GEMM path materializes. This removes the footgun where setting spec_decode=true in
akh.toml was silently slow unless the user also set AKH_GEMV_BATCH=1.

- gemv_batch_enabled(): `!= Ok("0")` (default on; AKH_GEMV_BATCH=0 is the escape hatch).
- spec_decode_loop warns only if explicitly disabled (=0), not on the default path.
- Dropped the "pair with AKH_GEMV_BATCH=1" notes from AkhConfig.spec_decode + the
  inference_config tool (no longer needed).

Validated on gfx1100:
- candle-core quantized::hip parity suite: 4/4 pass, now default-routing m>1 through the
  batched kernel (the m=3 Q4_K/Q6_K tests previously took GEMM).
- gemma3-12b short-prefill (m<=16) generate(): byte-identical output batched-on vs
  AKH_GEMV_BATCH=0 (the only path the default change newly touches for non-gemma4 models;
  m=1 decode is a separate kernel, unaffected).
- gemma4-12b already validated (47d parity + e2e spec decode).

Plan + ADR: AKH_GEMV_BATCH flipped to opt-out so spec_decode config is fast with no
second flag; gemma3 short-prefill byte-identical on/off, parity suite green.
Extends spec decode from greedy-only to temperature>0, distribution-losslessly. With a
deterministic prompt-lookup draft, speculative sampling specializes to: accept drafted
token d with probability p_target(d), else resample from the residual norm(p \ {d}) —
which marginally emits exactly p_target (proof + statistical test included).

- spec_decode.rs: spec_sample_step(p, d, u, resid_pick) (pure, residual walked inline, no
  vocab alloc on reject) + categorical(probs, pick) for the all-accepted bonus. Tests:
  distribution-losslessness (600k-trial empirical freq == target within 0.5% for every
  drafted d), accept/reject boundaries, inverse-CDF.
- candle_backend.rs: spec_sample_decode_loop (gemma4, temperature path) — same round
  structure + shared process_token + free KV rollback as the greedy loop, but pulls the
  per-position softmax probs and runs spec_sample_step. spec_decode_eligible drops the
  greedy-only gate; generate_inner routes temp==0 -> greedy spec, temp>0 -> sampling spec.
- candle_bench: AKH_BENCH_TEMP knob + CandleBackend::set_temperature to exercise it.

Validated on gfx1100, gemma4-12b:
- low temp (0.2): spec sampling == plain sampling == greedy, byte-identical (a correct
  sampler reproduces a peaked distribution exactly).
- temp 0.7 high-echo: 17.06s -> 6.91s (2.47x; plain sampling's per-token full-vocab
  softmax+D2H makes the win larger than greedy's), coherent across runs.

Collapse the ~9-kernel decode-attention swarm (repeat_kv, q·kᵀ, scale, softmax×5, ·v)
into one fused HIP flash-decoding pass. The single decode query (seq_len==1, on GPU)
streams the static KV prefix [0..len) with ONLINE softmax — no materialised
[B,nh,1,len] scores tensor, no softmax kernel storm. Prefill (seq_len>1) and CPU keep
the matmul/softmax path unchanged.

- elementwise.hip: split-K flash decode. flash_attn_partial_kernel — one warp per
  (batch, head, split) streams its KV chunk with online softmax (running max/sum +
  output accumulator) into per-split scratch; flash_attn_combine_kernel merges the
  splits (global max -> reweighted sum). Splitting the KV adds the parallelism the
  naive one-warp-per-head version lacked (B·n_head ~ 16 warps idled the GPU at long
  context -> B·n_head·n_split). GQA-aware; head_dim a multiple of 32.
- hip_backend.rs: FlashAttnDecode CustomOp3 + candle_core::cuda::flash_attn_decode;
  FFI binding + runtime method; FlashScratch — a persistent, grow-only split-K scratch
  held OUTSIDE the caching pool (pooling it tipped gemma4's working set over the cap
  -> ~1253 device-syncing hipMalloc/free per token, a 3% regression; allocate-once +
  reuse removes the churn and is the steady-state-no-alloc pattern HIP-graph capture
  needs). Parity test flash_attn_decode_matches: fused == CPU matmul/softmax/matmul
  within 1e-3.
- quantized_gemma3 / quantized_gemma4: route the seq_len==1 GPU decode through
  flash_attn_decode (gemma3 scale 1/sqrt(head_dim); gemma4 scale 1.0, q pre-scaled);
  everything else unchanged.

Validated on gfx1100: Rust + .hip compile clean, flash_attn_decode_matches passes.

Phase 46b / ADR 074.
Brings the elegant-mccarthy line (29 commits) into develop:
- Phase 46c: HIP-graph capture/replay of the decode forward (byte-exact).
- Phase 46d / 46d-2: adaptive HIP pool default; real per-token HIP-graph decode
  (device-pos KV scatter, working-set pinning, additive-mask block-padded attention).
- Phase 47a-47e: draft-free speculative decoding for gemma4 (prompt-lookup verify +
  batched fused quantized GEMV) — greedy byte-exact, sampling distribution-lossless;
  productized into generate(); per-akh AkhConfig.spec_decode + inference_config tool.

Conflict resolution (2 files), keeping BOTH lines' decode optimizations:
- quantized_gemma3 attention: develop's 46b flash-decode (eager seq==1, graph_ctx none)
  AND elegant's 46d-2 additive-mask graph path coexist — flash for production decode,
  additive-mask for graph capture, where_cond for prefill.
- hip_backend.rs: keep both develop's FlashScratch (flash_scratch) and elegant's graph
  working-set pinning (pool_capture_begin/end/pin/unpin) methods.

Also fixes a latent bug in the 46b flash decode it surfaced: the flash branch fed the
raw f16 kv_buf to the f32-only flash kernel (the parity test used f32 tensors, so a real
generate was never run → decode errored "flash-attn-decode: f32 only"). Now feeds the
already-narrowed-and-cast f32 K/V prefix instead. gemma3 + gemma4 generate coherently.

Validated on gfx1100: builds (Rust + .hip), candle-core parity (flash_attn_decode_matches,
hip_gemv_batched_parity) pass, gemma3/gemma4 generate coherent output.
Gemma 4 wraps its agentic output in its channel format and puts the `<tool_call>` inside the
THOUGHT channel. The candle chat path parsed tool calls from `generate()`, which runs
clean_generated_text → keeps only the *answer* channel → so every gemma4 tool call was stripped
before parsing (run_agentic_turn saw empty content + no tools and silently returned). End-to-end
agentic turns produced nothing.

- CandleBackend::generate_raw: like generate() but returns the uncleaned decoded text.
- chat_with_tools now parses tool calls from the raw text (the <tool_call> survives, wherever the
  model placed it) and channel-cleans only the no-tool answer for display.
- AKH_AGENT_DEBUG=1: dump the raw agentic generation + parsed tool-call count (no tracing
  subscriber needed) — the diagnostic that found this.
- ollama_tool_catalog: sort manifests by name (was HashMap-nondeterministic) so a capped catalog
  (AKH_AGENT_MAX_TOOLS) is reproducible across runs.
- examples/agentic_flow.rs: drive a real run_agentic_turn with the gemma4-12b Candle backing +
  Phase-47 spec decode; AKH_AGENT_TASK / AKH_AGENT_MAX_TOOLS configurable.

gemma4-12b agentic assessment (gfx1100, validated with this example): with a SMALL tool set it
produces well-formed grammar-constrained tool calls, selects appropriate tools, and ADAPTS to tool
errors across rounds (reads the error, retries with corrections, reasons over the feedback). It
DEGENERATES with a large tool catalog (~14+ tools → repeated empty channel markers), so it needs a
curated/small tool subset (the unbuilt Phase-44 budget-driven tool selection).

Add a tag-triggered release workflow and OS-native packaging, plus a lean `akh`
client that installs via cargo-binstall and connects to a remote akhomed over
ACP/TCP — everything needed to prep an alpha release.

Release & packaging (ADR 079):
- .forgejo/workflows/release.yml (on tag v*): build/push akh/akhomed/seshd images;
  assemble a Linux tarball by extracting binaries from the just-built images (no
  recompile, dodging the memory-limited Solstice runner's OOM); build a native
  illumos IPS pkg(5) .p5p on a native runner.
- contrib/smf/{akhomed,seshd}.{xml,method}: SMF contract services (dedicated
  users, svccfg-tunable bind/port/config).
- contrib/systemd/system/, contrib/config/: system units + seshat.toml sample.
- packaging/{install.sh, build-linux-tarball.sh, illumos/}: POSIX OS-detecting
  installer + IPS recipe (pkgsend/pkgmogrify/pkgdepend -> .p5p).
- .forgejo/scripts/{resolve-tag,forgejo-release}.sh: Solstice-robust tag
  resolution + jq-free Forgejo release asset upload.

Lean akh client + binstall + remote ACP/TCP (ADR 080):
- New `client = ["acp"]` feature; akh builds --no-default-features --features
  client (no candle/onnxruntime). Crate defaults unchanged so akhomed/CI are
  unaffected. docker/akh.Dockerfile + both release jobs build lean.
- [package.metadata.binstall] + packaging/build-binstall-archive.sh: `cargo
  binstall akh-medu` fetches the prebuilt lean akh from the Forgejo release.
  Only akh is binstalled — generate_qa_dataset is gated behind training-data and
  akhomed already requires server, so akh is the sole default bin.
- `akh --remote host:port` (or AKH_REMOTE): ServerInfo::remote_tcp + a shared
  resolve_server route every client path (data-plane, control-plane, chat) to a
  remote akhomed over the existing ACP/TCP transport.

Also fixes a pre-existing broken unit test (goal_generation::
collect_signals_includes_watches was missing the predicates arg), surfaced by
the lean test build and previously uncaught by the seshat-scoped CI.

Tests: client::remote_tcp_* and acp::acp_ext_data_plane_over_tcp pass; lean akh
clippy-clean. ADR 079/080 + plan + ops runbook included.

Organ offline / engine online: eval_handoff --dump-traces writes 640
records (chain labels, neural_hops, splice_entity via new
HandoffOutcome field); examples/phase51_p6_engine_handoff.rs imports
each chain as real triples (build_multi_hop goal encoding + chaff) and
deliberates full-start vs splice-start across a budget sweep.

Measured: every neural hop saves ~4-9 deliberation steps; in-
distribution the engine collapses to confirmation (0.3-2.2 vs 16-32
steps, 93-98% avoided); out-of-depth partial prefixes cut deliberation
45% (d7) / 28% (d8). Fine sweep shows the honest shape: average-cost
reduction, not worst-case (95%-quantile budget set by the weakest
prefixes). Abstention safety 0/128 false answers with the broken edge
omitted. Caveats + remaining P6 work (broadcast-read, dual-substrate
cost ledger) recorded in the ADR.
ADR 092-v2: eight user-grilled decisions (Q1-Q8) supersede/extend the
self-grilled v1. Entity-agnostic slots + dark reserved SymbolId block
(Q1); determinative type-classifiers on slots (Q2); larger closed
operator core = the engine's inference-licensing predicates + logical
connectives (Q3); full commit to rule-based first-order inference,
two gated corpus arms (Q4); select/bind/fire/chain decomposition +
11M->50M->100M capacity ladder (Q5); operators as reserved special
tokens = designed phonogram set (Q6); Level 4 threading = engine-
generated High-Grug fluency in pretrain + gloss channel + VSA-init
(Q7); teacher-free sovereign base + optional Ollama-Cloud teacher arm,
provenance-flagged (Q8). Egyptian design-law mapping made literal
(phonogram=operator, determinative=classifier, phonetic-complement=
self-verifying redundancy).

Phase 51 P4 plan: sovereign Phi-two-phase 350M curriculum, 7-10B
checkpoint-gated budget, narrow-first, six numbered gates, staged
build behind the cheap 11M ablations. Phi memo = sourced backup.
Design only; build gated on the 11M ablations.
The shared reserved-token reasoning register (ADR 092-v2 Q3/Q6) and the
ground-truth deductive world for the P4 rule-based arm.

reason/register.rs — the closed operator core (live + reserved-dark
partition), value literals (yes/no/gap), sort determinatives (Q2), and
entity-agnostic positional slots (Q1), with a contiguous reserved-id
governed-region layout whose tokenizer<->renderer lockstep is checkable
now. Egyptian mapping made literal (phonogram/determinative/complement/
logogram).

reason/rule/world.rs — a stratified single-rule derivation chain
(penguin->bird->flies): sort-typed unary predicates, one rule per derived
predicate over strictly-lower levels + optional nonmonotonic guard, so a
depth-d goal is a d-deep modus-ponens chain. Deterministic in seed.

Both fully unit-tested (round-trip, determinism, stratification).
The two deductive corpus arms in the High-Grug-v2 register, and the
component-decomposed replayer (ADR 092-v2 Q5).

reason/rule/corpus.rs — propositional (boolean formula over ground atoms,
and/or/not -> yes/no) + rule-based (depth-d modus-ponens chain, fire/bind
-> yes/no with three answer classes: proved, base-absent refutation,
guard-block refutation) generators. Every gold trace is correct by
construction (replays at executability 1.0). Q2 typed/bare slot ablation
threaded by one knob; disjoint level-0 spine/guard pools make every yes
chain provable; deterministic + byte-identical at a seed.

reason/rule/replay.rs — replay_rule scores executability AND the
select/bind/fire/chain decomposition (so an 11M fail distinguishes broken
from capacity-gated), plus score_rule_outputs aggregate with per-depth +
component pass-rates.

Governance enforced by test: no reserved-dark op ever leaks into generated
text. 18 new tests; full grug-data suite green (154).
train_rule/eval_rule over the RuleDataset arms, scored on the
select/bind/fire/chain decomposition (ADR 092-v2 Q5) — the gate-2
measurement (does an 11M organ learn rule application; does the chain
component's capacity slope go positive 11M->50M->100M).

- grug-data reason/rule/corpus.rs: salted held-out eval streams
  (rule_examples_eval / propositional_examples_eval) — fresh individuals
  over the same in-prompt rules = genuine in-context deductive
  generalization, not memorization. train/eval-disjoint test.
- grug-train rule_train.rs: encode/build_batch/generate for RuleExample
  (shared BOS<prompt>SEP<target>EOS framing, target-only loss mask); reuses
  train_step/checkpoint/generate unchanged. Loss-decreases unit test.
- transformer.rs: p1a_50m (~50M) + p1a_100m (~100M) capacity-ladder rungs.
- examples/train_rule.rs: --logic prop|rule, --typed-slots (Q2 ablation),
  --arm trace|answer, --model spike|p1a|p1a_large|p1a_50m|p1a_100m,
  in-dist + length-gen holdouts, component-scored eval + JSONL.
- examples/eval_rule.rs: definitive per-depth + component breakdown on a
  checkpoint.

CPU smoke green end-to-end (train->component eval->JSONL->checkpoint); full
grug-data + rule_train unit suites pass.
The templated deductive corpus saturates BPE at ~355 vocab (few unique
substrings), leaving depth-6 sequences ~800 tokens — over p1a's 640 ctx
(over_ctx=35, truncating deep examples). --max-seq-len resizes the
position-embedding table (1024 fits depth-6 with headroom); eval_rule must
match the training run's value.
Q4 rule gate MET (11M in-dist chain 0.918); Q2 null-under-full-info, typing
kept by decision; Q5 length-gen wall holds through 50M (chain 0.000, depth is
architectural not capacity-gated), 100M skipped. Load-bearing carry-forward:
lr 3e-4 destabilizes 50M -> 350M needs lower LR + warmup + cosine + more steps,
many-days checkpoint-resumable. Full tables in runs/p4-ablation-RESULT (gitignored).

Enables the 350M foundation run on rented NVIDIA hardware from a clean clone.

Backend:
- grug-train: new `cuda` feature (burn/cuda) alongside `gpu` (ROCm), mutually
  exclusive via compile_error!. New `gpu_device()` seam so example code is
  vendor-agnostic (no more hardcoded RocmDevice) — same source builds for the
  local 7900 XTX and an H100 box.
- train_rule/eval_rule use the seam; ROCm build verified unchanged.
- TinyTransformerConfig::p1a_350m — the P4 target, 347.3M params verified via
  Module::num_params (d_model 1024, 24 layers, 16 heads, d_ff 4864, ctx 1024).

training/ workspace (committable; runs/ stays gitignored):
- README.md   runbook: quick start, CUDA-vs-ROCm, LR-at-scale table, and the
              four hard-won operational rules (sequential GPU jobs; verify
              launches by process+mtime not deterministic log content; eval is
              expensive/no-KV-cache; quote best checkpoint not final).
- configs/    350m.env (lr 1e-4 + warmup — the measured 50M instability is why)
              and 11m-repro.env (the measured baseline, chain 0.918).
- scripts/    setup-cuda.sh (toolchain verify + build + GPU smoke),
              run-350m.sh (detached, auto-resume, refuses concurrent GPU jobs,
              verifies launch by process+mtime), resume.sh, status.sh.

Anima's native dispatch falls back to `bash .solstice/job.sh`; this repo
had no such file, so all 8 native CI dispatches to date failed instantly.
Each failure fed Anima's CI-red corrective loop, which parked the
dispatched work item at 3 strikes — the WI 1/2/3 session-concurrency
series (SessionContext, peer dispatch, session registry) was parked
exactly this way, on a phantom verdict.

Scope mirrors .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml check-seshat deliberately:
`CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=2 cargo check -p seshat`, default features. The full
workspace release build OOM-kills rustc on the Solstice runner VMs, and
the two lanes must agree — a native red for work the Actions lane calls
green re-opens the phantom-parking hole. Widen both lanes together or
neither.

Distro protoc (3.12) is fine here: no proto3 `optional` in this repo's
protos, and the Actions lane is green on the same protoc. The header
comment says what to do if that ever changes (copy Anima's pinned
install, not the experimental flag).

`Agent::register_builtin_tools` derived the `LocalFs` roots from
`EngineConfig.data_dir`. Workspace-backed engines set `data_dir` to
`{workspace}/kg` — the same reason `compartments_dir` exists — so reads
were confined to `{workspace}/kg` and writes to `{workspace}/kg/scratch`,
while Anima provisions worktrees into
`{workspace}/scratch/anima-worktrees/<session_id>`.

Every `edit` and `file_io` call in a provisioned worktree therefore
returned "is outside the akh's read sandbox": 84 of 193 tecton sessions
since 2026-07-23. The failure is silent — the agent falls back to python3
heredocs through the (unsandboxed) shell_exec, sometimes stashes its own
work, and ends the turn `end_turn`. The runner reports success, the
server sees a completed turn with no diff, nothing advances the phase,
and the scheduler re-dispatches the identical work item ~33 min later.
Akh-Medu WI-220 ran that loop 30+ times over 43 hours before its
failed-dispatch counter caught up and parked it as "retry-budget".

`EngineConfig` now carries explicit `workspace_root` (read) and
`scratch_dir` (write), both defaulting to the old data_dir-derived
behaviour so in-memory and snapshot-restore engines are unchanged. Both
workspace construction sites set them from `ws_paths`.

Containment itself is untouched: reads still stop at the workspace root,
writes still stop at scratch, and the symlink-safe canonicalization is
unchanged.

Phase 44 landed three ContextManager strategies but nothing normalized their
observability: DroppedSpan records no reason, record_assembly_telemetry is a
tracing::debug! with no typed return, and the _akh/usage block behind the TUI
context meter comes from model_manager().usage() — post-hoc backend counts, not
the assembler. So a turn's cost is visible but not why the assembler shaped the
window that way, and comparing strategies means reading two differently-shaped
debug lines.

D12: one ContextWindowStats emitted by every manager (DropReason, SectionStats
over the existing 9-variant ContextSection, Option strategy extras, stats() with
a default impl derived from AssembledContext).

D12.1: the ACP surface at Claude Code's panel fidelity — per-consumer rows with
tokens and percent-of-window, free space as a first-class row (rows + free sum to
window_total), a deferred tier, per-section drop reasons, the TokenCounter label,
and provider quota windows. Served from stats cached outside the agent lock so a
sidebar poll never blocks a live turn (ADR 063), busy try_lock returns stale:true.
Notes the one prefactor: ToolSource has no Mcp variant, so the MCP row is not
derivable today.

Reconciles the source analysis (Seshat a11a2cea), which was written against the
44a-only snapshot: the trait is sync not async, the tool-catalog gap it leads
with was closed by 44b (now a regression test), and ContextSection has grown to
9 variants.

`archetype_bias` mapped file_io / http_fetch / shell_exec to the Explorer
archetype but omitted `edit` — so the one tool that actually writes code
scored the neutral 0.5 fallback while its read-only siblings carried the
weight. An akh with a strong Explorer profile was nudged toward reading
and away from changing anything.

Inert today (the bias is only consulted from the OODA path, and ACP
dispatch runs through run_agentic_turn instead), but it is a live gap the
moment any of that scoring reaches the agentic loop.
