- primitive_attend retrieves over HTTP (POST /api/search) when ENGRAM_URL is
set — the location-independent worker model — falling back to the in-process
store otherwise. Proven against the isolated :8901 clone: CCR compiled a
bounded context from REAL mind content (VBD/intellectual-dna).
- gate the engram work-tracking mirror behind SWARM_MIRROR=1; the durable
substrate is always the JSONL journal, so a swarm never depends on the mind
to track its work. (Repeated POST /api/nodes mirror writes were observed to
crash the isolated daemon — a daemon-side write-path robustness issue;
retrieval POST /api/search is solid. Prod :8742 never touched.)
- integ_engram: CCR real-retrieval + full swarm completion against live clone.
- vote/merge/reduce/collect convergence proven end-to-end; failure threshold
aborts a swarm below min_success_ratio (integer per-mille) and completes
when failures are within tolerance, with worker.failed + swarm.aborted
tracked durably.
- worked around three El runtime/codegen semantics surfaced during the build:
json_set inserts RAW (use json_set_str for string values); json_set cannot
update an existing key (vote tallies via list rescanning); json_array_get
keeps quotes (use json_array_get_string). Also: float division is unreliable
(swarm uses integer math), and a let-rebind in a deeply nested if/else does
not propagate outward (accumulators kept at one block level).
test_convergence: 8/8; test_swarm: 12/12.
Single-writer append-only JSONL journal keyed by correlation ID: swarm +
worker + convergence records, reconstructable into a status report. Optional
engram mirror via POST /api/node when ENGRAM_URL is set. Coordinator is the
only writer (workers return structured results), which is race-free and
enforces Swarm containment rule 3 by construction.
Also prototype now_millis/now_ns in el_runtime.h (defined in el_runtime.c but
unprototyped — blocked any El program needing a real ms clock under clang 21).
Test proves durability + inspectability end-to-end.
