Subject: [PATCH] feat: integrate 3-core-language depth into PropositionGraph
 spine for bidirectional unification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add LexicalResolution dataclass + resolve_entry() in chat/pack_resolver.py
  that returns language, root, morphology_id, gloss, semantic_domains from
  he/grc/en packs (lru-cached, first-match, full depth support).

- Extend GraphNode (generate/graph_planner.py) with optional language/root/
  morphology_id fields (defaults preserve all call sites). Update as_dict()
  to include them conditionally. ground_graph() now propagates depth.

- Generalize enrichment in core/cognition/pipeline.py:
  - Per-subject resolution map using depth packs.
  - Enrich all matching nodes before ground (subject→node map).
  - Pass depth alongside recalled_words to ground_graph().

- Consume depth on articulation side:
  - realize_semantic() and render_semantic() now accept/use language+root
    for etymological/Logos framing on Hebrew/Greek nodes (e.g. "אמת (Hebrew
    root: א-מ-ן) is defined as..."). English unchanged.

- Enrich oov_geometric_context with node_depths for future geometric
  anti-unification using roots.

- Extend recognition/connector.py to forward depth from EpistemicNode
  paths into GraphNode.

- Add full Hebrew turn test under realizer_grounded_authority flag.
- Update related tests (semantic realizer, OOV context, surface resolution).
- Cleaned legacy type() hack immediately on discovery (hard-stop rule).

All targeted tests green (52+ in slices), broad relevant suite 581 passed.
Invariants preserved: versor only at owned boundaries, exact recall,
immutable updates, no new legacy parsers. 3 pillars upheld.

Work continues tomorrow from this checkpoint.

+        "bypass_hazard") has one precise meaning. No numeric tolerance,
+        no "good enough" surface.
+    III. Third Door — we did not pick "keep the regex sidecar" nor
+        "rip it out and break the suite". We built the substrate spine
+        as the sole authority path and made the old path the observable
+        bypass that starves itself to zero.
