* feat(W-003): wire VaultPromotionPolicy into turn boundary (ADR-0148)
VaultPromotionPolicy had zero callers; vault entries never crystallized
from SPECULATIVE to COHERENT. This PR wires the policy at the turn
boundary so settled entries can promote automatically.
Changes:
- core/config.py: add vault_promotion_enabled flag (default False, null-drop)
- vault/store.py: add promote_eligible_entries(policy) — metadata-only scan,
versors unchanged, _matrix_cache not invalidated
- session/context.py: persist energy_raw/energy_class/coherence_residual in
vault payload inside finalize_turn so the policy has data to decide on
- chat/runtime.py: call promote_eligible_entries after each finalize_turn,
gated on vault_promotion_enabled; import VaultPromotionPolicy
- docs/decisions/ADR-0148-vault-promotion-policy-wiring.md: decision record
- tests/test_adr_0148_vault_promotion.py: 6 tests, all green
Unlocks W-007 (DerivedRecognizer derivation from COHERENT vault entries).

* fix(W-003): resolve Pyright errors on vault promotion wiring
- vault/store.py: add TYPE_CHECKING guard to import VaultPromotionPolicy
only at type-check time, avoiding circular import at runtime while
making the name resolvable to Pyright.
- session/context.py:262: suppress union-attr false positive — self.state
is guarded non-None by the raise at line 256 when input_versor is also
None, but Pyright cannot narrow through the nested ternary structure.

Closes W-015 wiring debt. Per Sonnet's investigation (PR #252,
verdict (c)): _slerp_toward interpolates on S^31 but the versor
manifold (Spin sub-group in Cl(4,1)) is a proper subset. Slerp's
geodesic doesn't stay on the manifold, producing systematic
off-manifold state that the post-hoc unitize_versor was repairing.
Fix replaces _slerp_toward with the proper rotor-geodesic path:
R = word_transition_rotor(field_state.F, anchor_field)
R_step = rotor_power(R, _ANCHOR_PULL_ALPHA)
pulled_F = versor_apply(R_step, field_state.F)
rotor_power stays on the manifold by construction (same principle
as generate/stream.py:220). versor_apply closes via algebra/
versor.py — an already-sanctioned site. The unsanctioned
unitize_versor call in _anchor_pull and the entire _slerp_toward
function are removed.
CLAUDE.md normalization-site discipline is now restored:
session/context.py:_anchor_pull no longer performs normalization.
Changes:
- session/context.py: import rotor_power + word_transition_rotor,
remove _slerp_toward (34 lines), rewrite _anchor_pull to use
rotor-geodesic (15 lines net change).
- tests/test_session_coherence.py: new test pins the manifold
invariant — after anchor pull, versor_condition stays < 1e-6
without any unitize call (32 lines).
Intentional lane re-pins (audit-trail per #229 discipline):
- demo_composition: 403be13b → 3a3d09f3 (anchor pull now produces
correct on-manifold fields; demo output shifts as expected).
- public_demo: acd51d0c → 888ddd0d (same cause).
CLAIMS.md regenerated to reflect new pins (per #239 lesson).
Verification:
- tests/test_session_coherence.py: 3 passed
- core test --suite smoke: 67 passed
- scripts/verify_lane_shas.py: 7/7 match (post-re-pin)
- Manifold invariant test pinned: anchor pull preserves
versor_condition < 1e-6 by construction (no repair).
Investigation source: PR #252 (Sonnet). 4,138-sample bimodal
distribution confirmed _slerp_toward as the sole drift source.
Audit of the one-mutation-path invariant (ADR-0021 §3) found three leaks
where pack authority or session-state writes could substitute for coherence
judgment. All three landed fixes or partial closures in this push.
Leaks closed:
- Leak A: pack vocab defaulted to COHERENT — flipped to SPECULATIVE in
language_packs/{compiler,schema}.py; docstring corrected to align with
ADR-0021 (it was rationalizing the leak).
- Leak B: vault.recall was epistemic-blind — VaultStore.store() now stamps
every entry with EpistemicStatus (default SPECULATIVE); recall(min_status=)
filters to admissible-as-evidence tier. All 4 vault-write sites updated.
- Leak C (write-side): generate/proposition.py:198 stored articulated
propositions unmarked — now stamps SPECULATIVE, breaking the
fabrication-feedback loop in principle. Read-side audit of 5 call sites
is the residual.
New architectural invariants (tests/test_architectural_invariants.py):
- INV-21: one-mutation-path allowlist (caught Leak C on first run)
- INV-22: pack lexicon default is SPECULATIVE (Leak A guard)
- INV-23: vault recall epistemic-aware (Leak B guard)
New eval lanes:
- teaching_injection_resistance — ships GREEN at 1.00/1.00/0 (the
structural anti-injection claim is real and measurable)
- refusal_calibration — honest gap: 0% refusal, 0% fabrication
- contradiction_detection — honest gap: 50% flag via versor-delta heuristic,
100% false-positive; motivates the proper coherence-checker
- articulation_of_status — honest gap: 0% speculative articulation, 60%
false certainty; output-side leak surface
New benchmarks:
- benchmarks/footprint.py — total deployed runtime is 7.06 MiB
(109,358x smaller than Llama 3.1 405B, runs offline, no GPU)
- benchmarks/learning_curve.py — monotonic + replay-deterministic curve
per lane
Documentation:
- docs/truth_seeking_schema.md — foundational architectural commitment,
five rules, mapped to human failure modes, leaks published openly
- evals/CLAIMS.md — five-tier public claims doc; Tier 4.5 publishes
known gaps with named fixes; verification contract at top
- README.md — new pillar between algebraic substrate and language pillar
Includes in-flight formation pipeline scaffolding (formation/, tests/formation/,
docs/formation_pipeline_plan.md) and minor CLI/contracts/gitignore edits
that were already in the working tree at session start.
Verification: 798 passed, 2 skipped, 1 deselected (pre-existing pack-count
test drift unrelated to schema changes).
Three issues in the drift-fix landing (922bddc) addressed:
1. algebra/rotor.py: add rotor_power(R, alpha) — slerp on the rotor manifold
via the rotor's exp/log decomposition. Handles both rotation planes
(cos/sin) and boost planes (cosh/sinh); falls back to identity for
non-simple bivectors or null cases.
2. generate/stream.py: the score-weighted vault recall previously did
`weight*V + (1-weight)*np.eye(V.shape[0])`. Two bugs:
- np.eye produced a 32x32 matrix for a 1D multivector, crashing
versor_apply with a broadcasting error (2 cognition tests failing
on main).
- The linear blend produced multivectors with versor_condition up to
2.2e-2, violating the non-negotiable 1e-6 invariant declared in
CLAUDE.md. Now uses rotor_power(V, weight) which stays on the
manifold by construction (versor_condition <= 1.1e-16).
3. session/context.py: respond() now re-binds result.final_state to
self.state after finalize_turn's anchor pull, restoring the
"respond returns the same object that was vaulted" contract
(test_engine_loop_proof regression).
Verification:
- 41 new tests in tests/test_rotor_power.py covering closure preservation,
alpha=0/1 boundaries, half-angle composition, and word-transition rotors.
- Empirical multi-turn versor_condition stays at machine epsilon with
anchor pull, max 9.4e-7 without (under threshold either way after fix).
- Full suite: 609 passed, 4 skipped, 0 failed.
1. session/context.py — dialogue blade accumulation is now magnitude-preserving
via EMA (α=0.15). Running blade grows stronger each turn a concept is
confirmed rather than resetting to unit magnitude on every record_dialogue().
2. generate/stream.py — vault recall transitions are now score-weighted.
Each recalled rotor is scaled by softmax(scores)[i] before application so
high-confidence vault hits dominate and stale low-score entries barely move
the field.
3. session/context.py — anchor pull added after _hemisphere_consistent_field().
A mild α=0.05 slerp toward _anchor_field is applied at finalize_turn() to
provide continuous conjugate correction against angular drift within the
hemisphere. Unitized before writing back to state.
_orient_result_to_anchor used np.dot (Euclidean dot product) alongside
cga_inner to decide hemisphere flips. When CGA inner was positive
(correct hemisphere) but Euclidean was negative, the flip negated CGA
alignment — making correctly-oriented fields rank last in vault recall.
Changes:
- Move hemisphere check into finalize_turn so all paths (ChatRuntime,
SessionContext.respond) get consistent protection.
- Use CGA inner product only, removing the forbidden Euclidean metric.
- Remove _orient_result_to_anchor (subsumed by finalize_turn).
- Remove SessionContext.arespond (dead code, no callers).

- Fix running_dialogue_blade grade explosion: replace outer_product
accumulation (which pushed past grade-5 in Cl(4,1), silently zeroing
the blade from turn 3 onward) with CGA-inner-oriented blade tracking
that preserves grade-2 across arbitrary turn counts.
- Add versor_condition guard at session composition boundary: cross-turn
field composition via versor_apply now fails closed (threshold 1e-2,
matching algebra construction residue tolerance) instead of silently
propagating degraded fields into vault and generation.
- Replace VaultStore list with deque(maxlen=max_entries): eliminates
O(N) list.pop(0) on every bounded eviction; deque auto-evicts in O(1).
- Replace O(N) vocab scan in generate/stream.py stop_nodes construction
with O(1) try/except index lookup per stop token.

Adds referent tracking, session graph traversal, unknown-domain gating, correction propagation, compositional surface assembly, and regression coverage.
Follow-up fixes included before merge:
- split probe/commit/finalize turn flow so unknown-domain checks run before current-query vault writes
- record real input tokens and input versors for sync and async session paths
- return true graph distances from backward walks and consume them in correction decay
- synchronize corrected graph outputs into vault-backed recall and live referent state
- regenerate correction responses from corrected context rather than correction text
- keep coreference pronouns lowercase in question bodies
- centralize elaboration-string construction to avoid plan/surface drift
- add targeted dialogue fluency regression tests
- remove normalization and unitization calls from generation path
- skip invalid recalled fields instead of repairing them in generation
- punctuate selected articulation surfaces
- stabilize assertive dialogue roles
- anchor proposition slots to live field
- preserve session anchor orientation for coherence
Key issues fixed:
- `CORE_BACKEND=numpy` was ignored, so tests mixed Python CGA embedding with Rust metric behavior.
- Dense construction seeds were being rejected by strict `unitize_versor()`, while sparse dirty inputs still needed to fail closed.
- Holonomy needed a construction-boundary path for raw/dense vocab fixtures and rare null final accumulators.
- Proposition storage polluted vault recall by storing the live field instead of the proposition’s subject versor.
- Dialogue qualitative frames rendered the same surface as assertive copular frames.
- Repeated session prompts could collapse into the same deterministic response path.
- Two proof fixtures were stale: one hand-built a non-null “null” vector, and one alignment proof omitted the English “with” anchor used by the resonance proof.
Verification:
`CORE_BACKEND=numpy CORE_STRICT_MLX_ON_APPLE=0 uv run core test -- -q`
Result: `277 passed in 59.52s`
