Adds src/main.el + manifest.el for each vessel in this workspace,
ported from the Rust sources during the El consolidation pass on
2026-04-30. Each vessel now has both Rust (legacy) and El (target)
sources side-by-side; Rust will be removed once the El paths are
verified at runtime, vessel by vessel.
Per-vessel work was split across multiple parallel agents reading the
Rust to understand intent, then designing idiomatic El. Not 1:1
transliteration. Each ported vessel includes:
- manifest.el per spec/language.md \u00a715.1
- src/main.el with the vessel's public surface
- Compile verified via dist/platform/elc + cc against the el_runtime
Known gaps surfaced during the port (held for follow-up): HMAC-SHA256
and base64 crypto, HTTP status code in handler returns, request
headers in handler signatures, subprocess primitives, streaming
responses, struct/enum types, browser/JS codegen target. Codegen bug
list of 9 items tracked separately. The El sources here are runtime-
ready under the canonical C runtime; the gaps are language/runtime
extensions still in flight.
Per the consolidation onto El: 'crates' is the Rust word, 'vessel' is
El's (per spec/language.md §15). The directory rename is the structural
marker that this slot holds an El buildable unit, even if its current
contents are still Rust pending port.
Mechanical: git mv crates vessels, sed workspace members and any path
dependencies, update CI workflow paths, update README references.
Cross-repo path dependencies (`../foo/crates/bar`) updated workspace-
wide so cargo metadata still resolves where the Rust still builds.
Round 14: Breadcrumb directory click — clicking a path segment in the breadcrumb expands/reveals that directory in the file tree
Round 15: El version in status bar — GET /api/status now returns el_version (via el --version), shown in status bar right side; EL_BINARY config env var
Round 16: Search improvements — case-sensitive, whole-word, regex toggles (Alt+C/W/R); project-wide replace-all in current file; backend SearchOpts struct for each mode
Round 17: Sticky scroll improvements — uses CM6 posAtCoords for accurate first-visible-line; clickable to jump to definition; sticky-name/sticky-goto styling
Round 18: File tree header — New File (+) button and Refresh (↺) button in file tree header panel
Round 19: Status bar diagnostics — error count (✕ N) and warning count (⚠ N) shown in status bar, clickable to jump to problems panel
Round 20: Polish — more El snippets (test, seed, assert, activate, parallel, deploy, import, with, retry, reason, trace), expanded command palette (11 new commands)
- Neuron pair programming panel (right column, 300px): full conversation interface
with code-block rendering, "Insert at cursor" for AI suggestions, quick actions
(explain selection, find activations, analyze types), thinking indicator
- Live activation preview: floating inline widget when cursor is inside
`activate TypeName where "..."` expressions; queries /api/lsp/activate-preview
- Type graph activation highlighting: `activate` statements cause named types to
pulse with purple glow rings; animation loop runs while activations are present
- Knowledge Graph Explorer: new bottom panel tab; search the Engram DB for semantic
concepts, insert activate expressions, ask Neuron about nodes
- Semantic autocomplete: completions with score >= 0.8 get "⟁ semantic" prefix and
priority boost in the completion list
- Backend: /api/reason extended to support three modes: "hypothesis" (existing),
"pair" (proxies to soma /v1/chat/completions with full file context + system
prompt), "knowledge-search" (proxies to Engram DB search endpoint)
- Backend: new GET /api/lsp/activate-preview endpoint queries Engram for nodes
matching a partial activate expression
- Type graph node click now navigates editor to the type definition
- Resolved merge conflicts in engram-lang/crates (ast.rs, parser.rs, checker.rs,
types.rs): took union of HEAD and worktree-agent branches
Axum HTTP server (port 7771) serving a single-page IDE with CodeMirror 6
syntax highlighting for engram-lang, a force-directed type graph visualizer,
LSP (completions, hover, diagnostics), SSE-streamed build/run output, a
plugin host with five first-party plugins, and a reasoning panel that proxies
to engram-server. 28 tests across three crates, zero warnings.
