Cancellation-token control channel checked at every step boundary lets a
coordinator PAUSE/RESUME/REDIRECT/KILL a running worker mid-task instead of
waiting for the whole (possibly wrong) plan to finish. Bounded purviews
mean no half-committed state to unwind on interrupt. Includes a proof
harness (proof.el, run.sh) comparing a broken non-interruptible worker
against the new one under identical kill/redirect/pause timing.
Distinct from the already-preserved swarm-ccr orchestrator (fan-out/
converge dispatch): this is single-worker interruptibility, a
complementary mechanism, not a duplicate.
handle_api_consolidate writes a "SessionSummary" node, but engram_valid_node_type
omitted it — so once this validation ships, every consolidate() would be silently
REJECTED at the engram boundary. Add SessionSummary to the allowlist.

The wrapper signature was stale and didn't match the C primitive
__engram_node_full(content, node_type, label, salience, importance, confidence, tier, tags).
Because el_val_t is an untyped machine word, the compiler coerced caller args to the
wrong declared param types and forwarded them BY POSITION — so tier received an int,
importance/confidence received strings, label received a float, etc. (~100 corrupt nodes).
- Correct the wrapper to match the C contract 1:1 (no coercion, no reorder).
- Add engram_valid_node_type / engram_valid_tier allowlists; engram_node and
engram_node_full now reject invalid values with __println + return "" (fail loud,
no silent malformed write).
See neuron repo: HANDOFF-engram-write-corruption.md for the full write-up + deploy runbook.
