Shay 918aa843b1 feat(adr-0244): Phase 4 — governed f64→f32 serving-boundary cast (§2.5 / 0245 §2.2)
The single explicit, fail-closed f64→f32 down-cast at the certified lifecycle
egress. serving_cast(psi_steady, certificate, verdict) -> ServingState in
core/physics/cognitive_lifecycle.py:

- Casts ONLY a state that validates as a finite 32-vector, matches its
  certificate psi_digest, and was verdict.admitted — an uncertified, refused, or
  digest-mismatched state is never served.
- Precision-checks the f32 result (cast_error = max|f64-f32|, unit norm) and
  fails closed on an f32 precision cliff (f32_precision_insufficient) rather than
  serving a silently-degraded state.
- Keeps f64 as the source of truth: psi_steady and the psi_digest content-address
  chain are untouched; ServingState carries provenance back (source_psi_digest,
  certificate_id, measured cast_error) for audit. f64 stays inside
  relaxation/eigendecomp — this is the one place f32 appears (ADR-0245 §2.2
  mechanical sympathy).

Satisfies both ADR-0244 §2.5 and ADR-0245 §2.2 (one contract, two ADRs). Measured
on a real certified outcome: cast_error ~1.2e-8, unit_norm_f32 ~0.99999998.
Off-serving (A-04 guard: chat.runtime never imports it). ADR-0245 status map +
plan doc updated.

[Verification]: smoke 176 passed; fast lane 11907 passed / 109 skipped (-n auto,
not quarantine/slow); 10 targeted serving-cast tests passed.

CORE Documentation Index

This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.

Canonical Root Documents

Directories

Architecture & Design

  • adr/ - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The canonical history of all ratified engineering choices.
  • architecture/ - High-level architectural documents (e.g., pipelines, schemas).
  • analysis/ - Deep dives and master plans for structural changes.
  • specs/ - Detailed technical specifications and invariants.

Planning & Progress

  • plans/ - Capability roadmaps and implementation plans.
  • briefs/ - Project briefs and scoping documents for upcoming work.
  • issues/ - Detailed issue analyses and technical reproductions (not standard trackers).
  • audit/ - Audit reports and claims ledgers.

Operations & Usage

  • examples/ - Usage examples and reference integrations.
  • workbench/ - Documentation for the CORE workbench UI and related tooling.
  • agents/ - Agent-specific operational guides.

    Note regarding agents/grok/: Operational guide for using Grok 4.3 + Grok Build with CORE. This is not architecture documentation.

Learning & Evaluation

  • curriculum/ - Documentation on the teaching/learning order and knowledge progression.
  • evals/ - Evaluation methodology and performance criteria documentation.
  • benchmarks/ - Benchmark evidence and performance tracking logs.

Historical & Experimental

  • sessions/ - Chronological session logs documenting the "decision trail" and intellectual history of major choices.
  • handoffs/ - Legacy brief, audit, and investigation notes (historical; the formal HANDOFF mechanism is retired — see AGENTS.md for the current lightweight session-break-summary-<DATETIME>.md convention).
  • research/ - Raw research notes and preliminary findings.
  • lab/ - Experimental content (Warning: Not ratified; must not be referenced as authoritative in production PRs).

External

  • outreach/ - External communications and messaging.
  • zig/ - Scoped documentation for the Zig language components.
