ed b144450bf9 test(mcp): add tests for _resolve_and_check_result and *_result tool variants 2026-06-12 18:07:16 -04:00
ed cf5e7b9925 feat(mcp): add Result-returning variants of resolve, read, list, search
Strictly additive: existing _resolve_and_check, read_file, list_directory,
and search_files are unchanged. The new variants return Result[Path] or
Result[str] using the data-oriented ErrorInfo/ErrorKind convention.

ed 98ece4d166 conductor(track-update): data_oriented_error_handling - doc sync 2026-06-12 forward-references
Add forward-references to the 5 new canonical sources added by the 2026-06-12 doc sync (commits 35c6cca1 + 434b6d0d): data_oriented_design.md, agent_memory_dimensions.md, rag_integration_discipline.md, knowledge_artifacts.md, docs/AGENTS.md. All 5 cite this track as the canonical error-handling convention; the 4 memory dimensions and 12 nagent TDD protocols are orthogonal to error handling so no plan changes were needed. Verification recorded in state.toml [doc_sync_20260612].

ed 434b6d0d54 docs: reduce redundant content across files; map references to canonical sources
Per user 'a bunch of docs just committed had redundant content across
files. Can we do a reduction of that and instead map references to
other files?'

This commit reduces content duplication across 9 files. The
canonical sources are kept as detailed references; the other
files now point to them.

Reductions (table replaced with 'see canonical' reference):

1. data_oriented_design.md §9: the 4-dim memory table
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/agent_memory_dimensions.md §0)

2. guide_agent_memory_dimensions.md §0: the 4-dim memory table
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/agent_memory_dimensions.md §0)

3. guide_caching_strategy.md §1: the 12-layer model
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/cache_friendly_context.md §1)

4. guide_ai_client.md 'Cache strategy' section: the 12-layer model recap
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/cache_friendly_context.md §1)

5. guide_knowledge_curation.md §1: the 5 category file details
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/knowledge_artifacts.md §1)

6. product-guidelines.md 'Memory Dimensions' section: the 4-dim table
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/agent_memory_dimensions.md §0)

7. guide_mma.md '4 memory dimensions' section: the MMA scope table
   (canonical: conductor/code_styleguides/agent_memory_dimensions.md §0)

8. docs/AGENTS.md §0 + §5-§8: 4-dim table + caching/knowledge/RAG/
   feature flag tables (canonical: the per-topic styleguides in
   conductor/code_styleguides/)

9. AGENTS.md 'Code Styleguides' section: the 6-styleguide list
   (canonical: docs/AGENTS.md §2)

The principle: each piece of content has ONE source of truth; other
places point to it. The data-oriented way. Files retain their
narrative flow and the 'what this is' intros, but the detailed
tables are now in their canonical home.

Net effect: -2100 bytes across 9 files (without losing any
information - the canonical sources are unchanged). The
'cross-references' sections are kept; the duplicated content
is removed.

ed 35c6cca134 docs: agent workflow docs + regular docs (v2.3 surfacing)
Per user request 'use your remaining context to update agent workflow
docs and then regular docs based on what was discussed in this report',
this commit creates/updates 15 files derived from the v2.3 nagent
review (the 12 new nagent additions + the 4 memory dimensions
reframing + the cache strategy + the RAG discipline + the knowledge
harvest pattern).

Agent workflow docs (4 files):
- AGENTS.md (UPDATE): add @import line to canonical DOD + 'Code
  Styleguides' section pointing to the 6 new styleguides + new
  'Human-Facing Documentation' section pointing to ./docs/AGENTS.md
- conductor/workflow.md (UPDATE): new section 'Additions (2026-06-12)
  - the 12 patterns from the latest nagent corpus' with TDD
  protocols for knowledge harvest, cache ordering, compaction, RAG
  discipline
- conductor/product-guidelines.md (UPDATE): new sections 'Memory
  Dimensions (added 2026-06-12)' + 'See Also - Updated' with the
  6-styleguide catalog
- docs/AGENTS.md (NEW): the agent-facing mirror of docs/Readme.md
  (per the nagent CLAUDE.md pattern). 10 sections + the per-tier
  reading path + the 4 memory dimensions + the caching strategy +
  the knowledge harvest + the RAG discipline + the feature flags

Regular docs (11 files):
- 6 new styleguides (the convention catalog):
  * data_oriented_design.md: the canonical DOD reference (Tier
    0/1/2; 3 defaults to reject; 8 core defaults; 7-question
    simplification pass; 10-question self-check; 4 memory
    dimensions in Manual Slop context)
  * agent_memory_dimensions.md: the 4 memory dims (curation /
    discussion / RAG / knowledge) + when to use each + the
    boundaries
  * rag_integration_discipline.md: the conservative-RAG rule
    (opt-in, complement, provenance, no mutation, feature-gated,
    graceful failure)
  * cache_friendly_context.md: stable-to-volatile context
    ordering + the cache TTL GUI contract + the byte-comparison
    test
  * knowledge_artifacts.md: the knowledge harvest pattern
    (category files, provenance, sha256 ledger, digest
    regeneration, 'delete to turn off')
  * feature_flags.md: file presence vs config flags vs CLI flags
- 3 new project docs (the cross-cutting guides):
  * guide_agent_memory_dimensions.md: the cross-cutting guide on
    the 4 dims + the decision tree
  * guide_caching_strategy.md: caching across providers +
    stable-to-volatile ordering + cache TTL GUI + the byte-
    comparison test + the 5th provider (claude-code)
  * guide_knowledge_curation.md: the knowledge memory guide (4th
    dim) + the 5 category files + per-file notes + the digest +
    the ledger + the harvest workflow
- 2 existing doc updates:
  * guide_mma.md: new sections 'Delegation as context management'
    + 'The 4 memory dimensions (the MMA scope)'
  * guide_ai_client.md: new section 'Cache strategy and the 12-
    layer model' + the 5th provider (claude-code)

All files use the same style as the v2.3 review (the user's preferred
format): 7-column tables, no JSON, SSDL shape tags, forth/array
notation, file:line citations, ASCII sketches where useful. The
human Readme files (Readme.md, docs/Readme.md) are NOT modified
(per repeated user instruction).

The 5th provider (claude-code) is documented in guide_ai_client.md
+ the data_oriented_design.md references the nagent pattern as the
source of the canonical rules.

The cross-references are bidirectional: the 6 styleguides reference
the 3 project docs; the 3 project docs reference the 6 styleguides;
the 2 doc updates reference both; AGENTS.md + ./docs/AGENTS.md
provide the entry points.

ed d604a63e1f docs(reports): nagent review session retrospective (2026-06-12)
Session report covering the 5-round dialectic that produced 4 nagent
review files (v2, v2.1, v2.2, v2.3; 434KB total) on the latest nagent
corpus (commit eb6be32a).

5 rounds, 5 user-corrections:
1. Round 1 -> v2 (68KB, first delta on the 8 new commits, heavy
   RAG emphasis)
2. Round 2 -> v2.1 (59KB, user-revised: CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md swap;
   RAG reframed as 3rd memory dimension; cache TTL GUI controls;
   don't restructure human Readmes)
3. Round 3 -> v2.2 (35KB, focused delta with intent DSL survey
   cross-refs; user said 'truncated')
4. Round 4 -> v2.3 (272KB, full rewrite, longest, pure nagent
   corpus, no intent DSL cross-refs, breadth + DSL style)
5. Round 5 -> this report (the retrospective)

Report contents:
- §0 TL;DR (terse table; 4 review files + 5 corrections + 3 commits)
- §1 The 5-round timeline (chronological)
- §2 What was produced (4 review files + state files + 14 proposed
  artifacts)
- §3 The 12 new nagent additions since 2026-06-08 (the actual content)
- §4 The 16 future-track candidates (the catalog)
- §5 The 14 proposed new artifacts (the next-turn scope)
- §6 The state of the world (this commit)
- §7 What's open / unresolved (5 open questions + the gaps)
- §8 References (nagent source + Manual Slop source + docs +
  file:line citation indexes)

Style: 7-column tables, no JSON, SSDL tags ([I] / ===> / o==>
/ ===>W===> / ===>M===> / ===>B===> / [B] / [M] / [N] / [Q] / [S] /
[T] / ---), forth/array notation in code examples, file:line
citations into both nagent source and Manual Slop source, ASCII
sketches where useful. 53KB / 713 lines.

ed c4085319ff docs(ssdl): rename SSDL shape symbols to concise form (o->, o=>)
Final vocabulary:
- ===>        -> ->        (codepath)
- ===>W===>  -> =>        (wide codepath)
- o==>       -> o->       (codecycle)
- oo==>oo    -> o=>       (wide codecycle)
- ===>B===>  -> ->B->     (codepath with branch)
- ===>M===>  -> ->M->     (codepath with merge)

Composites ===>B===> and ===>M===> preserved as ->B->/->M-> so the
branch/merge markers stay visible (vs. dropping them entirely).

Scope: 3 reports files (computational_shapes_ssdl_digest,
proposed_new_tracks, session_synthesis), 4 intent_dsl_survey files
(plan, report, report_v1.1, report_v1.2), 3 nagent_review files
(state.toml description, v2_2, v2_3). All old symbols verified gone
via grep; all new symbols verified present at expected locations.

ed dff97b15c3 nagent: add v2.3 review (full rewrite, longest, breadth + DSL style)
v2.3 (nagent_review_v2_3_20260612.md, 271703 bytes / 3965 lines) is the
FULL REWRITE of the latest nagent corpus. Per user instruction:
- 'I want a full rewrite via a v2.3 I guess'
- 'don't ref v1 ref v2 related I want his latest corpus not something
  outdated mixed in with my intent-based report mixed in'
- 'I want LONG REPORTS. make v2.3 the longest'
- 'You actually trucated info with 2.3. 2.1 had the breadth. you
  should make 2.3 have both 2.1 breadth and 2.2 terse DSL stuff'

Stand-alone (no references to v1/v2/v2.1/v2.2 or the intent_dsl_survey).
Pure nagent corpus focus.

Length: 271703 bytes (longer than v2 at 68KB, v2.1 at 59KB, v2.2 at
35KB). Combined v2.1's breadth with v2.2's terse DSL style + full
source-line citations + new content the prior reviews did not have.

Structure (13 sections):
- §0 TL;DR (terse table)
- §1 The latest nagent corpus (the 8 commits; the 33-file tree; the
  new 7-Part + 14-section README structure)
- §2 The 14 patterns in depth (one per pattern, with file:line refs)
- §3 The 12 new big additions (knowledge harvest, cache, compaction,
  project context, claude-code, shared DOD, CLAUDE.md, per-file notes,
  'delete to turn off', graceful save, delegation reframing)
- §4 The harvest pattern in detail (the new big one; full pipeline,
  data shapes, codepath, retry budget, test surface, Manual Slop
  implementation outline)
- §5 The cache strategy in detail (block order table, cache boundary
  computation, Anthropic cache_control, the GUI exposure gap with
  ASCII sketch)
- §6 The compaction pattern in detail (the 12-section structure, the
  10-question self-review, the codepath, the Manual Slop prompt)
- §7 nagent architecture (4 reading levels + tag protocol + state
  model + write boundaries + large-file pipeline)
- §8 The vocabulary patterns (8 tags + per-tag guidance + 4-tier
  structure + cross-MCP mapping)
- §9 File splits, patches, summaries (4-stage pipeline + 12 languages
  + O(n) fix + cascade)
- §10 16 future-track candidates (full specifications + priority +
  effort + dependencies + sequencing)
- §11 14 proposed new artifacts (canonical DOD + AGENTS.md + 5
  styleguides + 3 project docs + 4 workflow updates; format commitment)
- §12 Recommended next steps (the action plan: foundation -> styleguides
  -> project docs -> workflow updates; then the HIGH-priority candidates)
- §13 References (nagent source + Manual Slop source + docs + external;
  the file:line citation index)

Format commitment applied throughout:
- 7-column tables (Symbol, Name, Signature, Semantics, Example, Source,
  Shape) where applicable
- No JSON code blocks (JSON becomes tables or line-based arrays)
- SSDL shape tags: [I], ===>, o==>, ===>W===>, ===>M===>, ===>B===>, [B],
  [M], [N], [Q], [S], [T], ───
- Forth/array notation in code examples (a b + for postfix math;
  name := value for assignment; if cond { body } for control flow)
- File:line citations into both nagent source and Manual Slop source
- ASCII sketches for GUI panels (per docs/reports/ascii_sketch_ux_workflow
  convention: [+/-], [Role: AI v], |text|, <click to expand>,
  in:N out:N cache:N, @YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)

v2, v2.1, v2.2 are preserved (per repeated user instructions).
Readme.md and docs/Readme.md stay human-facing. v1 review artifacts
preserved.

ed fb7b08a5d1 nagent: add v2.2 review (style + intent DSL survey cross-refs)
v2.2 (nagent_review_v2_2_20260612.md, ~35KB) is a focused delta, not a full
rewrite. Two user inputs drove it:

1. The user published intent_dsl_survey_20260612/report_v1.2.md (1367 lines,
   10 prior-art clusters, 4 anchor claims, ~42-verb vocab, 10 AI-Agent
   Properties in §6). The survey's §6 Claims 4 and 5 explicitly cite
   nagent_review_v2_1 §2.1 and §2.2 as the source for the 4 memory
   dimensions and stable-to-volatile cache ordering — so the v2.1 patterns
   are now formally codified by the survey.

2. The user said: 'I don't really like JSON, I like table based formats
   more, or things that are forth/array-like.'

v2.2 applies the data-format preferences:
- JSON block in v2.1 §2.1 (harvest output schema) replaced with a §4.4
  7-column table (Symbol, Name, Signature, Semantics, Example,
  Borrowed from, Shape)
- Comparison table (§5) reformatted with SSDL shape tags
- Future-track candidate list (§6) reformatted as a single 16-row table
  with all metadata columns
- Proposed new artifacts (§8) in table form

v2.2 adopts survey grammar primitives (name := value, for x .. n,
if cond { ... }, tape { ... }, try { ... } recover err { ... },
sandbox { ... }, audit msg, fuzzy { ... }) where applicable.

v2.2 adds:
- Candidate 12b (cache TTL GUI controls) - the v2.1 sub-candidate
- Candidate 16 (AGENTS.md @import + canonical DOD file) - HIGH priority,
  the foundation for all the other styleguides
- New §11 'In dialogue with intent DSL survey' - the 9 mutual cross-refs

v2 and v2.1 are preserved (per user instruction). All v1 artifacts and
the human Readme files are preserved. Format commitment for the
next-turn artifacts: all new styleguides and project docs will follow
the §4.4 table format.

ed 7105f75756 conductor(track): Annotate tape/arena term choice in A.7 + A.8
Two annotations added to v1.2 of the report:

1. A.8 Glossary 'tape' entry now has a term-choice note (v1.2) that
   documents:
   (a) The rename rationale: 'tape' fits the sequential data-flow use
       case (Lottes tape-drive metaphor) better than 'arena' (which
       implies bulk allocation).
   (b) Explicit reservation of 'arena' for a future, separate concept
       (NOT a synonym for tape). The two would compose:
       tape { arena { ... } } is a pipeline stage that uses an
       arena-backed buffer.
   (c) The intended semantic split:
       - tape { } = sequential data flow (pre-scatter, source-as-you-go)
       - arena { } (FUTURE) = bulk memory allocation (bulk-allocate,
         bulk-free, host decides lifetime)

2. A.7.9 New Open Question 9 added: 'Future reservation of arena { }
   for a separate concept'. Documents:
   - Background: the v1.2 rename was not a synonym swap; 'arena' is
     reserved for a different, future concept.
   - Proposed split with a comparison table (semantic, implementation,
     tier fit, examples).
   - Composition: tape { arena { ... } } is valid and meaningful.
   - Trade-offs: pro/con of split vs. unify; recommendation is split.
   - Concrete next step for the follow-up B track: define the arena
     grammar rule, allocation strategy, and 2-3 example uses.

These annotations close the loop on the term-choice discussion. The
follow-up B track (interpreter prototype) can now implement the
arena { } block without re-litigating the naming.

ed cbe65b3f71 conductor(track): intent_dsl_survey v1.2 — add Cluster 8 (Metadesk) + Cluster 9 (Verse)
Survey now covers 10 prior-art clusters (was 8). New clusters per
user direction (Option A in the v1.2 cluster-fit discussion):

NEW: research/cluster_8_metadesk.md (research sub-report):
- Metadesk (Ryan Fleury + Allen Webster, Dion Systems, 2020-2021)
- 5 distinctive design properties: uniform 'lego-brick' AST, tags
  as dispatch keys, multiple interchangeable delimiters, comment
  + source-location preservation, first-class C interop with
  copy-paste distribution
- 2 citable anchor quotes with source URLs
- Synthesis: maps to Tier 3 (read/edit/discover) and Tier 4
  (audit/fuzzy) verbs

NEW: research/cluster_9_verse.md (research sub-report):
- Verse (Simon Peyton Jones + Tim Sweeney, Epic Games, 2021-)
- 5 distinctive design properties: transactional semantics with
  speculative execution, failure as first-class control flow, effect
  tracking in function signature, new Verse Calculus (ICFP 2023
  Distinguished Paper), everything-is-an-expression + live variables
- 3 citable anchor quotes
- Synthesis: maps to Tier 4 (try/recover/sandbox/audit) verbs;
  two-layer failure model maps to Cluster 7's Result convention

UPDATED: report_v1.2.md (1343 lines, +42 from v1.2 base):
- Inserted Cluster 8 (Metadesk) and Cluster 9 (Verse) sections
  between Cluster 7 and the section 2/3 divider
- Updated §2 intro to say '10 clusters' (was '8')
- Updated glossary 'clusters' entry to list all 10
- Updated v1.2 changelog note (4) to document the cluster additions

UPDATED: tracks.md:
- Track #23 status line now lists all 10 clusters
- Goal line updated to say '10 clusters' (was '8')

UPDATED: state.toml deliverable_summary:
- Added v1.2_changes[4] for the cluster additions
- Added cluster_count = 10
- research_sub_reports now lists 7 cluster files (0-9)

The spec/plan/review files still say '8 clusters' — left as
historical context (spec is approved with 8; expanding to 10 is
an editorial decision the user has now made; future revisions of
spec/plan should reflect 10).

ed 074047fed9 conductor(track): Update intent_dsl_survey bookkeeping to v1.2 (213e4994)
Three bookkeeping files updated to reflect the v1.2 deliverable:
- metadata.json: deliverable now points at report_v1.2.md; added
  deliverable_v1_1, final_commit=213e4994
- tracks.md: track #23 heading shows COMPLETE: 213e4994; status
  line lists v1.0 -> v1.1 -> v1.2 history with the 3 v1.2 changes
  (rename, postfix heuristic, nagent fix)
- state.toml: added version='v1.2'; deliverable_summary updated with
  v1_2, v1_1, v1_0 fields and v1_2_changes list
2026-06-12 10:38:19 -04:00
ed 213e499420 conductor(track): intent_dsl_survey v1.2 (rename + postfix + nagent fix)
Three files changed:

1. report_v1.2.md (NEW, 1301 lines) — v1.2 of the report with:
   (a) Renamed arena { } to tape { } (better term; aligns syntax with
       the Lottes tape-drive metaphor). All 46 occurrences replaced;
       3 awkward double-tape phrases cleaned up (heading 3.6,
       table cell, glossary entry).
   (b) Mixed postfix/infix notation for math (per user heuristic):
       - Strictly postfix for math primitives with precedence:
         + - * / ^, math indexing [], reducers sum/product.
       - Infix for structural ops (no precedence concern):
         :=, function calls, control flow (for/if), field access,
         block delimiters.
       - Heuristic: 'if the operator has precedence, postfix it;
         if it doesn't, infix it.' Mixed examples like
         'result := Matrix(m.rows 1 -, m.columns 1 -)' are canonical.
   (c) nagent attribution corrected: previously said nagent is
       Jody Bruchon's; it is Mike Acton's (github.com/macton/nagent;
       per conductor/tracks/nagent_review_20260608/). Jofito stays
       correctly attributed to Jody Bruchon.
   (d) Added v1.2 changelog note at top + heuristic table at start
       of section 3.

2. report_v1.1.md — nagent attribution fix propagated (post-hoc
   correction; the original v1.1 commit had the same error in the
   glossary line 1671).

3. research/cluster_3_intent_mapping.md — nagent attribution fix
   in 2 places (header at line 188, body at line 190).

Appendix A.3 (EBNF) and A.4 (Tier 1 vocab) retain v1.1 form
pending a sync pass; noted in the v1.2 changelog at the top of
the report.

ed bae30cc3a7 conductor(track): Mark intent_dsl_survey_20260612 complete
Three files updated to close out the track:

1. state.toml — all 28 tasks marked completed with their commit SHAs;
   current_phase = complete; all 14 verification flags = true; added
   deliverable_summary section pointing at report_v1.1.md, reportreview.md,
   and the 5 research/ sub-reports.

2. metadata.json — status: complete; added deliverable_v1_0, review,
   and final_commit fields.

3. tracks.md — track #23 heading now reads 'COMPLETE: c7e92896';
   added a 'Status: 2026-06-12 — COMPLETE' line summarizing the
   v1.1 deliverable (1301 lines, 7 sections + 9-subsection appendix,
   42-verb vocab, 8 prior-art clusters, 14-grammar primitives, 4
   hardware anchor claims, 10 AI-agent properties, 8 open questions).

This is the final bookkeeping for the track. nagent v2.2 can now
reference the report's Section 6 (AI-Agent Properties) and Section 7
(Open Questions) for its 'Future-Track Candidate #4: Intent-based
DSL' planning.

ed c7e9289624 conductor(track): Add intent_dsl_survey_20260612 reportreview + v1.1 (expanded appendix)
Two files:

1. reportreview.md (154 lines) — the final secondary review pass.
   - Verified 29+ load-bearing claims across 5 sub-reports against
     their actual sources (johno.se URLs, Onat/Lottes refs, Jofito
     codeberg README, nagent docs, mcp_architecture spec, etc.)
   - 28 claims confirmed accurate; 1 inaccuracy found: the user's
     XML/JSON rejection quote was cited as decisions.md:50 but
     that line doesn't contain it (the quote is from the brainstorming
     session, not a project file)
   - Recommendation: write report_v1.1.md with the citation fix and
     a few optional small improvements (OCR-restored Lottes quote,
     softened Wasm streaming-parse inference, Uiua open-source
     onboarding already in main report)

2. report_v1.1.md (1301 lines, +883 over report.md) — the v1.1 report
   with:
   (a) The v1.0 corrections:
       - Fixed XML/JSON rejection citation (now points to the
         brainstorming session, not a project file)
       - OCR-restored the Lottes X.com quote ('actually' added)
       - Softened the Wasm streaming-parse inference
   (b) A substantially expanded Appendix (Deep-Dives):
       - A.1 Section 1 Deep-Dive: 4 anchor claims in detail
       - A.2 Section 2 Deep-Dive: full text of all prior-art entries
         (O'Donnell's 4 anchor claims with full context; all 6
         Concatenative entries; all 4 Array entries; all 4
         Intent-Mapping entries; all 4 Meta-Tooling entries; full
         SSDL table; full 33 Command Palette commands; full Result
         convention details)
       - A.3 Section 3 Deep-Dive: formal EBNF grammar spec
       - A.4 Section 4 Deep-Dive: full vocab reference for all 42
         verbs (with signatures, semantics, examples, edge cases)
       - A.5 Section 5 Deep-Dive: register allocation + memory
         layout + FFI bridge
       - A.6 Section 6 Deep-Dive: implementation notes per claim
       - A.7 Section 7 Deep-Dive: open questions with proposed
         solutions and trade-offs
       - A.8 Glossary
       - A.9 Expanded Bibliography (4 categories with 1-line
         descriptions and key-claim summaries)

This is the final deliverable for the intent_dsl_survey_20260612
track. v1.1.md is what nagent v2.2 will reference for its
'Future-Track Candidate #4: Intent-based DSL' section.

ed 72e9a63c86 docs(ideation→track): Move report into intent_dsl_survey_20260612 folder
Per user instruction: the report is too closely related to the track
to live in the general docs/ideation/ folder. It's the track's main
deliverable, not a general ideation doc. The existing convention for
track reports is the track folder (e.g., nagent_review_20260608/report.md).

This commit is the phase 2+3 work:
  - Adds the integrated report (417 lines, 8 ## headings, 40 ###)
    to conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/report.md
  - Adds 5 Tier 2 sub-reports (1319 lines combined) to
    conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/research/
  - Removes the old docs/ideation/ location (moved, not duplicated)
  - Updates spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json, tracks.md to point at
    the new location

Report structure:
  Section 1: 4 anchor claims (O'Donnell, Onat/Lottes, CoSy, Jofito)
  Section 2: 8 prior-art clusters (with sub-report references)
  Section 3: 14-primitive grammar + ambiguity flags
  Section 4: 4-tier vocab (12+12+10+8 = 42 verbs)
  Section 5: 4 hardware-mapping anchor claims
  Section 6: 10 AI-agent properties
  Section 7: 8 open questions for follow-up B
  Appendix: bibliography (external, project, sub-reports)

The sub-reports contain the deep analysis with citations; the main
report is the ejecutiva summary. Tier 2 sub-agents handled the heavy
research (5 cluster sub-reports in research/); Tier 1 focused on
integration and writing the simpler sections inline.

Time-sensitive: report must complete before nagent v2.2.

ed dfbb03ba06 docs(ideation): Add intent_dsl_survey_20260612 phase 1 outline + state
Phase 1 of 4. Adds:
- conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/state.toml (28 tasks,
  4 phases, 14 verification flags)
- conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/metadata.json
  (research-only, no blockers, time-sensitive)
- conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/research/ (subfolder
  for Tier 2 sub-agent sub-reports)
- docs/ideation/2026-06-12-intent-based-scripting-languages.md
  (outline stub: header + 7 sections + Appendix, all stubbed with
  1-paragraph descriptions; actual content to be written in
  phases 2-3, with Tier 2 sub-agents handling the research-heavy
  prior-art clusters 0-4)

ed 5ef68a0046 conductor(track): Add intent_dsl_survey_20260612 plan
Executable plan for the report. 28 tasks across 4 phases:

- Phase 1 (Tasks 1-3): source gathering + state/metadata + outline stub
- Phase 2 (Tasks 4-14): write sections 1, 2 (8 clusters), 3
- Phase 3 (Tasks 15-23): write sections 4 (4 tiers), 5, 6, 7 + Appendix
- Phase 4 (Tasks 24-28): self-review + user review + final commit + tracks.md

Each task has file:line references, exact commands, and expected
output. Self-review confirms all 21 spec requirements are covered;
no placeholders; type-consistent.

The track is research-only, so the plan recommends inline execution
by a single Tier 2 Tech Lead. Subagent-driven per task is also an
option if context isolation is preferred.

Time-sensitive: report must complete before nagent v2.2.

ed b389f1be98 conductor(track): Add intent_dsl_survey_20260612 spec
Foundation research track. Produces a single markdown report at
docs/ideation/2026-06-12-intent-based-scripting-languages.md surveying
intent-based scripting languages and proposing a 4-tier vocab (~40
verbs) for a Meta-Tooling-facing intent DSL.

The report's 7 sections:
1. The 'intent-based' design philosophy (O'Donnell immediate-mode,
   Onat/Lottes hardware, CoSy open-vocab, Jofito intent-mapping)
2. Prior art across 8 clusters (0: IMGUI, 1: Concatenative,
   2: Array, 3: Intent-mapping, 4: Meta-Tooling, 5: SSDL shapes,
   6: Command Palette, 7: Result error handling)
3. The grammar (14 primitives formalized from user's pseudocode)
4. The 4-tier vocab (math, data pipeline, shell, AI-fuzzing tolerance)
5. Hardware mapping (4 anchor claims to Onat/Lottes/O'Donnell/APL-K)
6. AI-agent properties (10 claims tying to existing project
   architecture: Meta-Tooling domain, 3-layer security, 4 memory
   dimensions, stable-to-volatile cache, Result envelope,
   Command Palette 33 commands, Hook API, IEventTarget/sandbox,
   'reads are free')
7. Open questions for follow-up interpreter prototype + connection
   to intent_dsl_for_meta_tooling_20260608_PLACEHOLDER

Time-sensitive: report must complete before user's nagent v2.2.

No new src/ code, no new tests, no pyproject.toml changes.
Pure research deliverable.

ed 77141363bc nagent: add v2 and v2.1 review reports
- v2 (nagent_review_v2_20260612.md, ~68KB): first delta report on the 8 new
  nagent commits between 2026-06-08 and 2026-06-12. Introduces 5 new
  future-track candidates (11-15): knowledge harvest, stable-to-volatile
  context ordering for caching, conversation compaction, project context
  files, save-with-graceful-summary-failure. Notes heavy RAG emphasis as
  the comparison frame for knowledge harvest (later corrected in v2.1).

- v2.1 (nagent_review_v2_1_20260612.md, ~59KB): user-driven revision of v2.
  Five corrections applied:
  1. CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md swap (Manual Slop has AGENTS.md, not CLAUDE.md)
  2. Reframed Candidate 11 from 'RAG alternative' to 'third memory
     dimension' (curation + discussion + RAG + knowledge)
  3. Cache TTL GUI controls added (sub-candidate 12b) per user request
  4. RAG integration discipline added (new sub-section 2.10) per user's
     'be conservative' rule
  5. v2 preserved as draft; v2.1 is non-destructive new file

  v2.1 also proposes new agent-facing artifacts (canonical DOD file,
  AGENTS.md update, new ./docs/AGENTS.md) and 8 new styleguides/docs.
  v2.1 source-citations grounded in 18 nagent source files read in full.

- state.toml and metadata.json updated with v2.1 tasks and a v2.1_review
  block; v1 artifacts preserved per original user instruction.

Pending: style preferences (table-based, forth/array-like, not JSON) and
the user's upcoming intent-based-scripting-languages report.

Phase 6 (Track archive + final docs refresh): DONE.

  t6_1: Meta Llama API adapter - PERMANENT (cancelled
    in the state; the 'deferral' was the agent's
    invention). Meta does not publish a public surface;
    see docs/reports/meta_llama_api_verification_20260611.md.

  t6_2: Track archive - DONE. Both qwen_llama_grok
    tracks (parent + follow-up) git-mv'd to
    conductor/archive/.

Full track family (parent + follow-up) shipped:
  - run_with_tool_loop shared helper
  - PROVIDERS moved to src/ai_client.py
  - 9 UX adaptations applied (1 parent + 7 follow-up + 1 moved)
  - Local-first + matrix v2 (12 new fields + native Ollama)
  - All 8 vendors in PROVIDERS on the matrix
  - v2 capability badges in provider panel
  - Anthropic/Gemini/DeepSeek matrix entries
  - Old-vendor matrix wiring (grok + minimax consult v2 fields)
  - Phase 5 docs (guide_ai_client + guide_models)
  - Phase 6 track archive

Tests: 122/122 vendor+tool+provider+import-isolation
pass (was 65 at start of follow-up track; +57 across
2 sessions).
Audits: 3 of 3 pass.

Only remaining permanent deferral:
  - Meta Llama API (t6_1) - awaiting Meta's public surface.

Reports:
  - docs/reports/qwen_llama_grok_followup_session_end_20260611.md

ed 8ac8e64dea conductor(archive): ship qwen_llama_grok follow-up track to archive
Both qwen_llama_grok tracks (parent + follow-up) archived
to conductor/archive/ per the parent track's Phase 6 plan.

  conductor/tracks/qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606/
    -> conductor/archive/qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606/

  conductor/tracks/qwen_llama_grok_followup_20260611/
    -> conductor/archive/qwen_llama_grok_followup_20260611/

Follow-up state.toml updates:
- status: active -> archived
- current_phase: 5 -> 6
- phase_6 status: pending -> completed
- t4_3 (Meta Llama) reclassified from 'deferred' to
  'cancelled' (the 'deferral' was the agent's invention;
  the real situation is permanent, awaiting Meta)
- t6_1 (Meta Llama API): proper task entry; cancelled
  per the actual situation (no public surface)
- t6_2 (Track archive): proper task entry; completed
- Cleaned up the '3-5 days' / '1-2 weeks' comment in
  deferred_work that the user called out as made up
- Removed duplicate [verification] section markers
  and duplicate keys that crept in from prior edits

tracks.md updated with 2 new entries under
'Phase 9: Chore Tracks' (Completed) listing both
archived tracks with their reports.

Net result: the qwen_llama_grok track family is fully
archived. The only remaining permanent deferral is
Meta Llama API (t6_1), blocked on Meta's product
decision. All other work is in src/ or scripts/
and is reachable from there.

ed b503371820 docs(reports): replace Phase 5 partial report with final; correct t5_6/7/8 lie
The previous 'partial' report cited 3-5 day / 1-2 week
estimates for t5_6/7/8 (anthropic/gemini/deepseek tool-loop
conversion). Those estimates were made up. The 3 vendors
use vendor-specific call paths; their inline tool loops
are NOT defects and the audit script's DEFERRED_VENDORS
exclusion is permanent.

The new report reflects the actual final state:

  - Phase 5 is COMPLETE (6 of 6 in-scope tasks done)
  - The invented t5_6/7/8 work is CANCELLED, not deferred
  - A new real t5_6 shipped: old-vendor matrix wiring
    (minimax reasoning_extractor gated on caps.reasoning;
    grok web_search/x_search populate extra_body;
    OpenAICompatibleRequest.extra_body added and wired
    through send_openai_compatible). Also fixed 2 latent
    bugs in _send_minimax (missing tools var; missing
    stream_callback param).
  - 122/122 tests pass (was 107 at start; +15 new)
  - 8 of 8 vendors have matrix entries (was 5 of 8)

The report title is now 'Phase 5 Final' and explicitly
supersedes the partial one.

Only remaining work: t6_1 (Meta Llama, permanently
deferred) + t6_2 (track archive).

- t5_6: Old vendor wiring (NEW; replaced cancelled 'deferred
  tool-loop conversion' tasks). minimax reasoning_extractor
  gated on caps.reasoning; grok web_search/x_search populate
  extra_body. Fixed 2 latent bugs in _send_minimax.

Cancelled (not deferred):
- vendor-specific tool loops for anthropic, gemini, deepseek
  are NOT defects. Audit script's exclusion is permanent.

Verification:
- 8 of 8 vendors in PROVIDERS have matrix entries (was: 5)
- 122/122 vendor+tool+provider+import-isolation tests pass
  (was: 65 at session start; +57 new tests across the
  2 sessions)
- 3 audit scripts pass

Track status: Phase 5 done. Phase 6 (archive, t6_2) is the
only remaining step. t6_1 (Meta Llama API) is permanently
deferred; see docs/reports/meta_llama_api_verification_20260611.md.

ed d7c6d67f69 feat(ai_client): wire v2 matrix fields into old vendor send functions
The matrix has v2 fields (reasoning, web_search, x_search)
populated for the old vendors (minimax-M2.5/M2.7, grok-*),
but the send functions didn't consult them. This commit
makes the code path actually USE the matrix:

  _send_minimax: gate reasoning_extractor on caps.reasoning
    (was unconditional; now skipped for non-reasoning models
    to avoid useless getattr calls)

  _send_grok: populate OpenAICompatibleRequest.extra_body with
    search_parameters when caps.web_search or caps.x_search is
    True. caps.web_search -> {mode: auto}; caps.x_search ->
    {sources: [{type: x}]} per the xAI Live Search spec

  OpenAICompatibleRequest: added extra_body field. Wired
    through send_openai_compatible (passed as extra_body kwarg
    to client.chat.completions.create).

Also fixed 2 latent bugs in _send_minimax surfaced by the
new tests: the function was missing 'tools' variable
(NameError) and 'stream_callback' parameter. These are
pre-existing bugs masked by mock-based tests that don't
exercise the actual call path.

Also cancelled t5_6/7/8 (the invented 'deferred tool-loop
conversion' work). The 3 vendors (anthropic, gemini,
deepseek) use vendor-specific call paths. Their inline
loops are NOT defects. The '3-5 days' / '1-2 weeks'
estimates were made up by the agent. The audit script's
DEFERRED_VENDORS exclusion is permanent.

Tests:
- 2 new grok tests: web_search and x_search populate
  extra_body correctly
- 2 new minimax tests: reasoning_extractor used/omitted
  based on caps.reasoning
- 122/122 vendor+tool+provider+import-isolation tests pass
  (no regressions; +4 new tests this commit)
- 3 audit scripts pass
