-# Task #50 — Edge-aware, dream-coupled consolidation with GROUNDED EDGE-PROPAGATION
-
-**Status:** built + proven on a clone; **GATED, not promoted.** The main loop
-sequences live promotion after the engine/HNSW cutover settles.
-**Date:** 2026-08-15 · **Worktree:** `agent-a6577c8211c332c5b` (isolated).
-
-Grounding mechanism designed with Will (memory `9e09a59f`, refining
-`1a861007`). This is the HOW for #50.
-
---
-
-## (a) How grounded edge-propagation integrates into the dream/consolidation cycle
-
-The beat already exists. `neuron/awareness.el` runs a heartbeat (~every
-`beat_ms`); each beat calls `hebb_consolidate()` — which drains the self-formed
-Hebbian associations out of the fast in-process store and writes them, over the
-threshold `ENGRAM_HEBB_LINK_MIN`, into the durable engram (`:8742`) — and then
-`emit_heartbeat()`.
-
-Grounded edge-propagation slots into the **same beat, immediately after
-consolidation** (awareness.el line 1286–1288):
-
-```
-hebb_consolidate()      // lay down the tethers (edges) that cleared threshold
-ground_propagate()      // <-- NEW: grade beliefs ALONG those tethers
-emit_heartbeat()        // report gep_* gauges beside hebb_*
-```
-
-This ordering is the point. Consolidation lays down the wiring; propagation
-grades the beliefs along it, in the same breath. Memory `69b8babe`:
-memory-consolidation and staying-yourself are one physics — forming a memory and
-grading a belief are the same gravity run in two passes of one beat.
-
-The propagation runs **inside the engram** as the native
-`engram_ground_propagate()` over the durable flat node/edge arrays (the store
-the consolidated edges just landed in). The soul invokes it over HTTP
-(`POST /api/ground/propagate`) and folds the returned `gep_*` telemetry into the
-heartbeat stream next to `hebb_cands / hebb_mass / hebb_edges`.
-
-**Bounded by construction** (per the live-graph reality — 70.7% of nodes
-isolated, connected core ~28%, hub first-hop fan-out in the thousands):
- **1-hop only.** No BFS spreading activation — a belief is graded from its
-  DIRECT grounded neighbors, so there is no per-hop breadth explosion.
- **Beam-capped** at `GEP_MAX_CORR = 256` corroborators per belief.
- **Salience-ordered, `GEP_BELIEFS_PER_BEAT = 512`** beliefs per beat; the rest
-  next beat. Work per beat is O(beliefs × degree), hard-bounded.
- **Isolated / starved beliefs** are counted and surfaced (`gep_isolated`,
-  `gep_starved`) as an interoceptive sparse-region signal for the
-  edge-formation / embedding pass (#20). #50 CONSUMES edges; it does not form
-  them. A belief with no grounded neighbor has nothing to tether to — correct
-  per the anti-delusion gravity law (`0b15017c`), not a gap.
-
---
-
-## (b) The implementation
-
-Represented faithfully to the spec — **grounding is a Hebbian-weighted
-collection over time, never a scalar.**
-
- **Grounding = an append-only event ring** on the node (`GepGrounding`),
-  structurally parallel to the ACT-R base-level access ring already in
-  `EngramNode` (`access_ts[K]`). Each event is `{ts, sign±, mag, corroborator
-  signature}`. Append-only, supersede-not-delete; events aged out of the ring
-  are counted (`older_count`), never faked away.
- **Standing is DERIVED, recency-weighted, never stored** —
-  `standing = clamp(GEP_BASE + Σ_events sign·mag·age^(-D), 0, 1)`, exactly the
-  ACT-R base-level shape `ln Σ t^-d` (`ENGRAM_BLL_D = 0.5`) but sign-carrying so
-  LTD subtracts. Memory `1a861007`: the collection is primary, the standing is
-  its emergent aggregate. Mirrored onto `confidence` each beat so downstream
-  reads (verifier #43, realizer calibration `0041d917`) never speak above the
-  grounding.
- **Update = LTP/LTD with a threshold.** Per belief, gather corroborators along
-  incident edges, weighted by `edge.weight` (the Hebbian weight) × the
-  neighbor's own standing. **Anti-delusion gravity:** only neighbors already
-  `≥ GEP_LIKELY_MIN` may corroborate — grounding flows FROM the grounded core.
- **Convergent INDEPENDENT corroboration** is the driver. Independence is
-  enforced by **union-find over the corroborator set**: two corroborators are
-  the same independent source if they are the same node, reached by multiple
-  edges, or linked to each other (an echo chain / shared derivation). Support is
-  summed **per independent component** (max-magnitude member), and the threshold
-  gate requires BOTH a mass floor (`pos ≥ GEP_THETA`) AND an independence-count
-  floor (`n_independent ≥ GEP_N_MIN`). The count gate is the guard against one
-  node echoed N times.
- **Sub-threshold is transient.** Support present but below threshold →
-  `subthreshold_hits++`, no durable event, no lasting shift (Will's exact spec).
- **Graduation / decay.** Cross up → LTP event appended → standing climbs
-  `conjecture → likely → grounded`. Contradiction past threshold → LTD →
-  `grounded → likely → conjecture`. Nothing latches; withdraw support and the
-  collection ages and relaxes (`271f1163`, nothing is settled).

-| `gep_proof.c` | Self-contained proof harness — builds the three scenarios, prints raw before/after. |
-| `engram_ground_propagate.staged.c` | GATED runtime native. Wires the SAME `gep_core.h` primitives to the live `EngramStore` (adj cache, flat arrays). Splice plan + relation→polarity + belief gate. Compiles only when spliced (verified: every runtime symbol it references — `engram_adj_rebuild`, `adj_from_len`, `engram_find_node_index`, `ENGRAM_LAYER_SAFETY`, `istr_contains`, … — exists in the release runtime). |
-| `awareness.beat.patch.el` | GATED beat hook — `ground_propagate()` + the insert between `hebb_consolidate()` and `emit_heartbeat()`. |

-### (a) STRENGTHEN — convergent independent corroboration graduates a conjecture
-
-| beat | event | pos_mass (n_indep) | action | standing before → after | band |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| 1 | 3 independent grounded corroborators | 0.4050 (3) | **LTP** | 0.1000 → **0.4842** | conjecture → **likely** ⬆ |
-| 2 | neighborhood grows to 5 | 0.6750 (5) | **LTP** | 0.1496 → **0.7379** | conjecture → **grounded** ⬆ |
-| 3 | support sustained (5) | 0.6750 (5) | LTP | 0.2110 → 0.7993 | grounded (sustained) |
-| 4 | corroboration withdrawn (+10min) | 0.0000 (0) | isolated | 0.1612 → 0.1612 | relaxing |
-| 5 | still withdrawn (+1h) | — | isolated | 0.1263 | relaxing |
-| 6 | still withdrawn (+4h) | — | isolated | 0.1130 | → conjecture |
-
-Grounding grew **on its own** past threshold and graduated conjecture → likely →
-grounded, then **relaxed** once independent support stopped. Living, not a
-latched flag.
-
-### (b) DECAY — convergent independent contradiction erodes a grounded belief
-
-| beat | event | neg_mass (n_indep) | action | standing before → after | band |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| — | seed (prior LTP) | — | — | **0.9500** | grounded |
-| 1 | 3 independent contradictions | 0.5400 (3) | **LTD** | 0.9500 → **0.4570** | grounded → **likely** ⬇ |
-| 2 | contradiction broadens to 5 | 0.9000 (5) | **LTD** | 0.1461 → **0.0000** | conjecture ⬇ |
-| 3–4 | contradiction sustained (5) | 0.9000 (5) | LTD | 0.0000 | conjecture |
-
-Grounding decayed grounded → likely → conjecture under accreting independent
-contradiction. The door never shut — history is retained (the event ring keeps
-growing), the belief stays falsifiable in both directions.
-
-### (c) INDEPENDENCE GUARD — the load-bearing property
-
-Identical fan-in (N=5), identical edge weight (0.30), identical corroborator
-standing (~0.90). **The only difference is whether the five are independent.**
-
-| sub-case | topology | pos_mass | **n_indep** | action | standing 0.1000 → |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **C1** | 5 DISTINCT, no inter-links | 1.3500 | **5** | **LTP** | **0.9741 (grounded)** ⬆ |
-| **C2** | 5 mutually-linked (echo of one source) | 0.2700 | **1** | sub-threshold | 0.1000 (unchanged) |
-| **C3** | 1 node reached by 5 parallel edges | 0.2700 | **1** | sub-threshold | 0.1000 (unchanged) |
-
-Same raw fan-in, opposite outcome. Union-find collapses the echoes to a single
-independent component; the count gate (`n_indep ≥ N_MIN`) then refuses them.
-**Circular self-reinforcement cannot manufacture grounding** — a conjecture can
-only be grounded by evidence that is genuinely independent of itself.

-**RAILS honored:** isolated worktree; built/proven on a clone; the live soul
-(`:8742` / `:7770`) untouched; no fight with the cutover (built against current

- *
- * STAGED, NOT COMPILED INTO THE LIVE BINARY. This mirrors the

- * runtime-internal types (EngramStore, EngramNode, EngramEdge, engram_global,
- * engram_now_ms, the adj cache) and therefore compiles ONLY when spliced into
- * lang/releases/v1.0.0-20260501/el_runtime.c. Splice + promotion is sequenced
- * by the main loop AFTER the engine+HNSW cutover settles — do NOT hand-apply.
- *
- * It is the production form of the mechanism proven in gep_proof.c: the SAME
- * gep_core.h primitives (GepGrounding ring, gep_standing, gep_append,
- * union-find independence), wired directly to the live flat node/edge arrays.
- *
- * ── SPLICE PLAN (three additive edits to el_runtime.c; nothing removed) ──────
- *
- *  [1] EngramNode struct (~line 6061, after hebb_elig_ts): add the grounding
- *      collection. Additive; zero-initialized by the existing calloc/memset
- *      paths, so legacy snapshots degrade gracefully to an empty history.
- *
- *          GepGrounding grounding;   // task #50 — append-only grounding ring
- *
- *  [2] #include "gep_core.h" near the other engram includes, and paste the
- *      body of this file below the Hebbian section (after engram_hebb_drain_json).
- *
- *  [3] Persistence (engram_save node JSON ~7934 / engram_load parser ~8186):
- *      serialize the grounding ring as a compact "grounding" array of
- *      [ts,sign,mag] triples + subthreshold_hits so standing survives a
- *      round-trip. Helpers gep_grounding_to_json / gep_grounding_parse below.
- *      Until wired, grounding is in-RAM only (like the Hebbian eligibility
- *      trace) — correct for a first gated rollout, but standing resets on boot.
- *
- *  [4] EL surface: declare engram_ground_propagate in el_runtime.h + el_seed.c,
- *      add route_ground_propagate to engram/src/server.el, called from the

- *
- * SPEC (Will, 2026-08-15; memory 9e09a59f, refines 1a861007):
- *   - A grounding is a VECTOR + its HEBBIAN WEIGHTS — a weighted structure over
- *     the evidential neighborhood, NOT a scalar and NOT a flat list. It APPENDS
- *     and GROWS on SIGNIFICANT change. => grounding = an APPEND-ONLY event ring

- *     threshold → grounding DECAYS. Automatic, event-driven, salience-gated.
- *   - DRIVER = CONVERGENT INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION (coherentism, mechanized):
- *     when N INDEPENDENT adjacent nodes ground as likely-true around a
- *     conjecture (Will's example: 13), its grounding grows on its own.
- *   - INDEPENDENCE is load-bearing: N DISTINCT corroborators, not one node
- *     echoed N times. Guards against circular self-reinforcement.
- *   - ANTI-DELUSION GRAVITY (memory 0b15017c): support flows only FROM already-

- * ElBridge.java — Android Java companion to el_android.c.
- *
- * All public methods are static. The C JNI layer calls these to create views,
- * set properties, and manage the widget tree. Views are identified by integer
- * slot indices matching the C-side handle values.
- *
- * Threading: every method that touches a View dispatches to the UI thread
- * using Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable) and blocks with a CountDownLatch
- * until the UI thread completes the operation. This mirrors the AppKit
- * dispatch_sync(main_queue, ^{}) pattern in el_appkit.m.
- *
- * Callbacks: Java sets listeners on views that call back into C via:
- *   nativeOnClick(int slot)
- *   nativeOnChange(int slot, String text)
- *   nativeOnSubmit(int slot, String text)
- * These are declared native and implemented in el_android.c.
- *
- * Usage (in your Activity.onCreate):
- *   System.loadLibrary("elruntime");
- *   ElBridge.init(this);
- *
- * The native library calls __native_init() which calls nativeRegisterActivity
- * via the C side; alternatively call ElBridge.init(this) directly from Java.
- *
- * Compile requirements:
- *   Android minSdkVersion 21 (Lollipop) or higher.
- *   No third-party dependencies — uses only android.* framework classes.
- *   For image loading from arbitrary file paths, BitmapFactory is used.
- *   To replace with Glide/Picasso, edit createImageView only.

-# Platform Bridge Specification — el-native
-
-This document is the authoritative reference for anyone implementing a new platform bridge for the el-native widget system. Read it top to bottom before writing a single line of code.
-
---
-
-## What a Platform Bridge Is
-
-The el compiler (`elc`) emits C code. That C code calls `__`-prefixed functions for everything OS-related: printing, file I/O, threading, and — when building a native UI app — widget creation and event handling. These `__` functions are the *OS boundary*.
-
-For native UI, the bridge is the translation layer between that fixed C API and whatever platform toolkit you are targeting. The bridge owns:
-
-1. A **slot table** of up to 4096 widget objects, indexed by `int64_t` handle.
-2. Implementations of all 33 `__*` widget functions declared in `el_native_target.h`.
-3. Callback dispatch from platform events back into El function symbols resolved via `dlsym` (or a platform equivalent).
-
-The thin wrappers in `el_seed.c` (`#ifdef EL_TARGET_*` blocks) marshal between `el_val_t` and native C types, then call through to the bridge. The bridge itself never touches `el_val_t` — it works only with plain C types (`int64_t`, `const char*`, `int`, `float`).

-## The Slot System
-
-Every widget — window, button, label, container, image — is stored in a static array:
-
-```c
-#define EL_<PLATFORM>_MAX_WIDGETS 4096
-
-typedef struct {
-    ElWidgetKind  kind;
-    /* platform-specific object reference (pointer, handle, ID...) */
-    /* callback names */
-    char*         cb_click;
-    char*         cb_change;
-} ElWidget;
-
-static ElWidget _el_widgets[EL_<PLATFORM>_MAX_WIDGETS];
-```
-
-Rules:
- **Slot 0 is never valid.** Scan starts at index 1. This ensures 0 is never a valid handle.
- **Handle = slot index.** An `int64_t` value returned to El code is a direct index into `_el_widgets[]`.
- **-1 = invalid.** All create functions return -1 on failure (table full, platform API error).
- **Slot is FREE until allocated, FREE again after destroy.** Use an `ElWidgetKind` enum where `0 = EL_WIDGET_FREE` to track liveness.
- **4096 slots is the system-wide maximum.** This is intentional and sufficient for any realistic UI. Do not increase it without a compelling reason.
-
-### Slot allocation and release pattern
-
-```c
-static int64_t el_widget_alloc(ElWidgetKind kind, /* platform object ref */) {
-    for (int i = 1; i < EL_<PLATFORM>_MAX_WIDGETS; i++) {
-        if (_el_widgets[i].kind == EL_WIDGET_FREE) {
-            _el_widgets[i].kind     = kind;
-            /* store platform object ref — retain/addref if needed */
-            _el_widgets[i].cb_click  = NULL;
-            _el_widgets[i].cb_change = NULL;
-            return (int64_t)i;
-        }
-    }
-    return -1; /* table full */
-}
-
-static ElWidget* el_widget_get(int64_t handle) {
-    if (handle <= 0 || handle >= EL_<PLATFORM>_MAX_WIDGETS) return NULL;
-    if (_el_widgets[handle].kind == EL_WIDGET_FREE) return NULL;
-    return &_el_widgets[handle];
-}
-
-static void el_widget_free(int64_t handle) {
-    ElWidget* w = el_widget_get(handle);
-    if (!w) return;
-    /* release platform object ref */
-    w->kind = EL_WIDGET_FREE;
-    free(w->cb_click);  w->cb_click  = NULL;
-    free(w->cb_change); w->cb_change = NULL;
-}
-```
-
-**NULL handle guard:** `el_widget_get` must return `NULL` for any handle that is 0, negative, out of range, or points to a `FREE` slot. Every `__` function that takes a handle must null-check the result of `el_widget_get` before doing anything. Failing to do so causes crashes or corruption when El code passes an uninitialized handle.
-
---
-
-## The 33 Required Functions
-
-Every bridge must implement all 33 functions listed below. They are grouped by category. The signatures shown are from `el_native_target.h` and from `el_seed.c`'s wrapper layer; the bridge itself uses plain C types (the wrappers do the `el_val_t` ↔ C-type conversion).
-
-### Internal C signatures (what the bridge implements)
-
-These are what your `.c` / `.m` file defines. The `el_seed.c` wrappers call these.
-
-#### Lifecycle (2 functions)
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_init(void);
-```
-**Purpose:** Initialize the platform UI toolkit. Must be idempotent (safe to call more than once). Called once from `__native_init` before any widget creation.  
-**Edge cases:** On platforms where the toolkit must be initialized before a display connection is established (X11, Wayland), this is where that happens. On Android, this is a no-op because ElBridge.java calls init from Java.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_run_loop(void);
-```
-**Purpose:** Start the platform event loop. On most platforms this **never returns**. Exceptions: Android (the loop is Java-managed — this must be a no-op) and headless test builds.  
-**Edge cases:** Must be called from the main thread. On iOS/UIKit, calls `UIApplicationMain` which never returns; El code must set `el_main_entry_fn` before calling this.
-
-#### Window (3 functions)
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_window_create(const char* title, int w, int h, int mw, int mh);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a top-level window. `w`/`h` = initial size in logical pixels. `mw`/`mh` = minimum size (0 = no minimum).  
-**Returns:** Slot handle, or -1 on failure.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL or empty `title` must be handled gracefully (use `""`). On mobile (iOS, Android), the concept of a "window" maps to the root view controller / activity root view — create that here.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_window_show(int64_t handle);
-```
-**Purpose:** Make the window visible. On some platforms windows are hidden at creation; this makes them appear.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL handle → return silently. Calling on an already-visible window is a no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_window_set_title(int64_t handle, const char* title);
-```
-**Purpose:** Update the window's title bar text at runtime.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL handle or NULL title → no-op.
-
-#### Layout containers (4 functions)
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_vstack_create(int spacing);
-int64_t el_<platform>_hstack_create(int spacing);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a vertical/horizontal linear container. `spacing` = gap between children in logical pixels.  
-**Returns:** Slot handle, or -1.  
-**Edge cases:** spacing = 0 is valid and common.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_zstack_create(void);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a z-axis layered container (children overlap, no stacking direction). Used for overlays.  
-**Returns:** Slot handle, or -1.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_scroll_create(void);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a scrollable container. Scrolls vertically by default. Only the first child added is the scrollable content.  
-**Returns:** Slot handle, or -1.
-
-#### Leaf widgets (5 functions)
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_label_create(const char* text);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a non-editable text label.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL/empty text → label with empty string, not a crash.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_button_create(const char* label);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a clickable button. The `label` is the button's visible text.  
-**Edge cases:** The button must wire up an action target at creation time so that click callbacks registered later via `el_<platform>_widget_on_click` will fire. On platforms with target-action (AppKit, UIKit), allocate the delegate object here.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_text_field_create(const char* placeholder);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a single-line text input. `placeholder` is the hint text shown when empty.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL placeholder → no hint text displayed.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_text_area_create(const char* placeholder);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create a multi-line text input (scrollable).  
-**Edge cases:** Same as text_field_create. On AppKit, this wraps NSTextView inside NSScrollView — the slot's `obj` points to the scroll view, not the text view.
-
-```c
-int64_t el_<platform>_image_create(const char* path_or_name);
-```
-**Purpose:** Create an image widget. `path_or_name` can be a filesystem path or a platform resource name. Try path first, fall back to named resource.  
-**Edge cases:** Non-existent path → create an empty image widget (do not crash). NULL → same.
-
-#### Widget properties (12 functions)
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_text(int64_t handle, const char* text);
-```
-**Purpose:** Update the text content of a label, button, text field, text area, or window title. Must dispatch on `kind` to use the correct API.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL handle → no-op. NULL text → treat as `""`.
-
-```c
-const char* el_<platform>_widget_get_text(int64_t handle);
-```
-**Purpose:** Return the current text of a widget. Returns a `const char*` that the `el_seed.c` wrapper wraps into an `el_val_t` string.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL handle → return `""` (never NULL). The caller in `el_seed.c` handles the `strdup` lifetime issue — see the AppKit reference implementation notes.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_color(int64_t h, float r, float g, float b, float a);
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_bg_color(int64_t h, float r, float g, float b, float a);
-```
-**Purpose:** Set foreground (text) color and background color respectively. All channels are normalized floats [0.0, 1.0].  
-**Edge cases:** For containers, `set_color` may be a no-op (no text); `set_bg_color` should set the layer/surface background. On platforms without alpha compositing, clamp alpha to 0 or 1.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_font(int64_t h, const char* family, int size, int bold);
-```
-**Purpose:** Set the font on a text-bearing widget. `family` = font family name or `"system"` for the platform default. `size` = point size. `bold` = 0 or 1.  
-**Edge cases:** If `family` is not found, fall back to the system font. Non-text widgets (containers, images) → no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_padding(int64_t h, int top, int right, int bottom, int left);
-```
-**Purpose:** Set internal padding/insets for a container or text area.  
-**Edge cases:** On platforms where padding is per-view (not per-container), map to the nearest equivalent (margin, insets, text container inset). For leaf widgets other than text areas, this may be a partial no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_width(int64_t h, int width);
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_height(int64_t h, int height);
-```
-**Purpose:** Apply a fixed-size constraint. `width`/`height` in logical pixels.  
-**Edge cases:** On platforms with Auto Layout or constraint systems, add a fixed-size constraint. Do not apply to windows (size is set at creation). Calling multiple times should override the previous constraint, not add another.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_flex(int64_t h, int flex);
-```
-**Purpose:** Set the flex/expansion factor. `flex > 0` → the widget expands to fill available space. `flex == 0` → hugs content size.  
-**Edge cases:** Maps to content-hugging priority (AppKit), `GtkWidget::hexpand`/`vexpand` (GTK4), or layout weight (Android). For windows → no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_corner_radius(int64_t h, int radius);
-```
-**Purpose:** Apply rounded corners to the widget's visual layer.  
-**Edge cases:** Requires backing layer / GPU surface. On platforms without layer compositing (Win32 without DX), this may be a no-op or require manual painting. Radius in logical pixels.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_disabled(int64_t h, int disabled);
-```
-**Purpose:** Enable or disable user interaction. `disabled = 1` → greyed out, non-interactive.  
-**Edge cases:** Only meaningful for interactive widgets (button, text field). For containers/labels → no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_set_hidden(int64_t h, int hidden);
-```
-**Purpose:** Show or hide the widget. `hidden = 1` → invisible but still in layout.  
-**Edge cases:** For windows, map to `orderOut`/`hide` or equivalent. For views, use `setHidden`/`gtk_widget_set_visible` or equivalent.
-
-#### Tree management (3 functions)
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_add_child(int64_t parent, int64_t child);
-```
-**Purpose:** Attach a child widget to a parent container. Dispatch on parent kind:
- Window → add to root content view/container
- VStack/HStack → add as arranged/linear child
- ZStack → add as overlapping subview
- Scroll → set as document/content view (first child only)
- Other → add as plain subview
-
-**Edge cases:** NULL parent or child handle → no-op. Attempting to add a window as a child → no-op. Adding the same child twice is platform-defined behavior (tolerate it).
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_remove_child(int64_t parent, int64_t child);
-```
-**Purpose:** Detach child from its parent. The child slot remains allocated; the widget is not destroyed.  
-**Edge cases:** NULL handles → no-op. Child not currently attached → no-op.
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_destroy(int64_t handle);
-```
-**Purpose:** Destroy a widget: remove from superview/parent, release the platform object, release callback strings, mark slot as FREE.  
-**Edge cases:** For windows, close the window. Free any delegate/target objects stored in side tables. After destroy, the handle is invalid — El code must not use it again (this is the caller's responsibility, not enforced here).
-
-#### Event registration (3 functions)
-
-```c
-void el_<platform>_widget_on_click(int64_t h, const char* fn_name);
-void el_<platform>_widget_on_change(int64_t h, const char* fn_name);
-void el_<platform>_widget_on_submit(int64_t h, const char* fn_name);
-```
-**Purpose:** Register an El callback function by symbol name.
- `on_click` → button press
- `on_change` → text field value change (keystroke-level)
- `on_submit` → text field Enter key (text field only; stored in `cb_click` slot in AppKit)
-
-The implementation stores `strdup(fn_name)` in the widget's `cb_click` or `cb_change` field. The platform event handler calls `el_<platform>_invoke_cb` (see callback ABI section).  
-**Edge cases:** NULL or empty `fn_name` → clear the callback (`free` + set NULL). Calling on a non-interactive widget (label, image) → no-op or store silently (harmless).
-
-#### Manifest reader (1 function)
-
-```c
-/* Note: __manifest_read is implemented in el_seed.c, not in the bridge. */
-/* Bridges do NOT need to implement this. */
-```
-
-`__manifest_read` is handled entirely in the platform-independent section of `el_seed.c`. It reads a JSON/EL manifest file from the path in the `EL_MANIFEST` environment variable. Bridge authors do not need to implement this.
-
---
-
-## The Callback ABI
-
-When a platform event fires (button clicked, text changed), the bridge must call back into the El runtime. The mechanism:
-
-```c
-typedef void (*ElCb2)(int64_t handle, int64_t data);
-
-static void el_<platform>_invoke_cb(const char* fn_name, int64_t handle, const char* data) {
-    if (!fn_name || !*fn_name) return;
-    void* sym = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, fn_name);
-    if (!sym) return;
-    ElCb2 fn = (ElCb2)sym;
-    fn(handle, (int64_t)(uintptr_t)(data ? data : ""));
-}
-```
-
-The El callback signature (in El source):
-```
-fn handler(handle: Int, data: String) -> Void
-```
-
-Which compiles to:
-```c
-void handler(int64_t handle, int64_t data)
-```
-
-Where `data` is a `const char*` cast to `int64_t` (the el `String` representation). For click events, `data` is `""`. For change/submit events, `data` is the current widget text.
-
-**On platforms without `dlsym`** (Windows, some embedded systems): use `GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(NULL), fn_name)` on Windows, or maintain a manual symbol registration table for embedded targets where dynamic linking is unavailable.
-
-**Thread safety for callbacks:** Callbacks fired from a background thread must be marshalled to the UI thread before calling into El code. El code may call `__widget_set_text` or other UI functions synchronously from within the callback — those must run on the UI thread.
-
---
-
-## Thread Safety Contract
-
-**All platform UI operations must execute on the main/UI thread.** This is a hard requirement on every platform (AppKit, UIKit, GTK4, Win32, Android View, SDL2 main thread rule).
-
-The reference pattern (AppKit):
-```c
-static void el_appkit_sync_main(void (^block)(void)) {
-    if ([NSThread isMainThread]) {
-        block();
-    } else {
-        dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), block);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-For other platforms:
- **GTK4:** `g_main_context_invoke` or `g_idle_add` + semaphore for synchronous dispatch
- **Win32:** `SendMessage(hwnd, WM_APP, ...)` or `PostMessage` + wait
- **Android:** `Activity.runOnUiThread`
- **SDL2:** All ops must be called from the thread that initialized SDL (the main thread)
- **LVGL:** `lv_lock()` / `lv_unlock()` for thread-safe access
-
-El program flow is: `main()` → build UI (on main thread) → `__native_run_loop()`. Because UI is built before the run loop starts, most widget creation calls are already on the main thread. The sync dispatch wrapper exists to handle callbacks that arrive on worker threads (e.g., network callbacks that update UI).
-
---
-
-## Integration Pattern
-
-### In `el_native_target.h`
-
-Add an `#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>` block declaring all 33 `__*` functions with their `el_val_t` signatures (identical to the existing blocks for MACOS, LINUX, etc.):
-
-```c
-#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>
-
-void      __native_init(void);
-void      __native_run_loop(void);
-
-el_val_t  __window_create(el_val_t title, el_val_t width, el_val_t height,
-                           el_val_t min_width, el_val_t min_height);
-void      __window_show(el_val_t handle);
-void      __window_set_title(el_val_t handle, el_val_t title);
-
-el_val_t  __vstack_create(el_val_t spacing);
-el_val_t  __hstack_create(el_val_t spacing);
-el_val_t  __zstack_create(void);
-el_val_t  __scroll_create(void);
-
-el_val_t  __label_create(el_val_t text);
-el_val_t  __button_create(el_val_t label);
-el_val_t  __text_field_create(el_val_t placeholder);
-el_val_t  __text_area_create(el_val_t placeholder);
-el_val_t  __image_create(el_val_t path_or_name);
-
-void      __widget_set_text(el_val_t handle, el_val_t text);
-el_val_t  __widget_get_text(el_val_t handle);
-void      __widget_set_color(el_val_t handle, el_val_t r, el_val_t g,
-                              el_val_t b, el_val_t a);
-void      __widget_set_bg_color(el_val_t handle, el_val_t r, el_val_t g,
-                                 el_val_t b, el_val_t a);
-void      __widget_set_font(el_val_t handle, el_val_t family,
-                             el_val_t size, el_val_t bold);
-void      __widget_set_padding(el_val_t handle, el_val_t top, el_val_t right,
-                                el_val_t bottom, el_val_t left);
-void      __widget_set_width(el_val_t handle, el_val_t width);
-void      __widget_set_height(el_val_t handle, el_val_t height);
-void      __widget_set_flex(el_val_t handle, el_val_t flex);
-void      __widget_set_corner_radius(el_val_t handle, el_val_t radius);
-void      __widget_set_disabled(el_val_t handle, el_val_t disabled);
-void      __widget_set_hidden(el_val_t handle, el_val_t hidden);
-
-void      __widget_add_child(el_val_t parent, el_val_t child);
-void      __widget_remove_child(el_val_t parent, el_val_t child);
-void      __widget_destroy(el_val_t handle);
-
-void      __widget_on_click(el_val_t handle, el_val_t fn_name);
-void      __widget_on_change(el_val_t handle, el_val_t fn_name);
-void      __widget_on_submit(el_val_t handle, el_val_t fn_name);
-
-el_val_t  __manifest_read(el_val_t path);
-
-#endif /* EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM> */
-```
-
-### In `el_seed.c`
-
-Add an `#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>` block containing:
-1. `extern` declarations of all `el_<platform>_*` functions (your bridge's C API)
-2. Thin wrapper functions that marshal `el_val_t` ↔ C types and call through
-
-The wrapper pattern (copy from the `EL_TARGET_MACOS` block and substitute the platform name):
-
-```c
-#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>
-
-/* Forward declarations — implemented in el_<platform>.c */
-extern void    el_<platform>_init(void);
-extern void    el_<platform>_run_loop(void);
-extern int64_t el_<platform>_window_create(const char* title, int w, int h, int mw, int mh);
-/* ... all others ... */
-
-/* Wrappers */
-void __native_init(void)     { el_<platform>_init(); }
-void __native_run_loop(void) { el_<platform>_run_loop(); }
-
-el_val_t __window_create(el_val_t title, el_val_t width, el_val_t height,
-                          el_val_t min_width, el_val_t min_height) {
-    return (el_val_t)el_<platform>_window_create(
-        EL_CSTR(title),
-        (int)(int64_t)width, (int)(int64_t)height,
-        (int)(int64_t)min_width, (int)(int64_t)min_height);
-}
-
-void __window_show(el_val_t h)                  { el_<platform>_window_show((int64_t)h); }
-void __window_set_title(el_val_t h, el_val_t t) { el_<platform>_window_set_title((int64_t)h, EL_CSTR(t)); }
-
-/* ... continue for all 33 functions ... */
-
-#endif /* EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM> */
-```
-
-Key marshalling rules:
- `el_val_t` → `int64_t` handle: `(int64_t)h`
- `el_val_t` → `int`: `(int)(int64_t)value`
- `el_val_t` → `const char*`: `EL_CSTR(value)`
- `el_val_t` → `float`: `(float)el_to_float(value)` (for color channels)
- `int64_t` handle → `el_val_t`: `(el_val_t)handle`
- `const char*` → `el_val_t`: `EL_STR(str)` — but read the get_text note below
-
-**`__widget_get_text` note:** The bridge returns `const char*`. The `el_seed.c` wrapper wraps it with `EL_STR(s)`. The returned pointer must remain valid until the El program is done with it. The AppKit implementation returns a `strdup`'d string — the caller (seed wrapper) stores it without tracking it in the arena. This is a known lifetime edge; be consistent with the platform's existing pattern.
-
---
-
-## How el Strings Work
-
-Inside El compiled C code, strings are `el_val_t` values where the value is the `uintptr_t` cast of a `const char*`:
-
-```c
-#define EL_STR(s)  ((el_val_t)(uintptr_t)(s))
-#define EL_CSTR(v) ((const char*)(uintptr_t)(v))
-```
-
-To construct a string result in `el_seed.c`:
-```c
-static char* s = strdup("hello");
-return EL_STR(s);
-```
-
-To read a string argument passed from El:
-```c
-const char* text = EL_CSTR(some_el_val_t_argument);
-```
-
-The `EL_STR` / `EL_CSTR` macros are defined in `el_seed.h` and are available in `el_seed.c`. Bridge files (`el_<platform>.c`) do not use these macros — they only deal in `const char*` at their API boundary.
-

-## Known Gotchas

-### Duplicate symbols with `el_runtime.c`

-`el_runtime.c` defines many of the same `__`-prefixed symbols as `el_seed.c`. When linking both (required for the native-hello example), the linker will reject duplicate definitions. The build system uses `nmedit` (macOS) to hide the `el_runtime.c` copies of symbols that `el_seed.c` already defines, keeping `el_seed.c` canonical.
-
-If you are writing a build script for a new platform and see duplicate symbol link errors involving `__println`, `__print`, `__str_len`, etc., apply the same nmedit / `objcopy --weaken-symbol` / `strip --strip-symbol` trick from the macOS build to your platform's object file handling.
-
-### The `nmedit` trick on macOS
-
-```bash
-# Build a keep-list: symbols defined in el_seed.o but also in el_runtime.o
-nm el_seed.o   | awk '/^[0-9a-f]+ T _/{print $3}' | sort > .seed_T.txt
-nm el_runtime.o | awk '/^[0-9a-f]+ T _/{print $3}' | sort > .rt_T.txt
-# Keep only symbols unique to el_runtime.o
-comm -23 .rt_T.txt .seed_T.txt > .rt_keep.txt
-nmedit -s .rt_keep.txt el_runtime.o
-```
-
-On Linux, use `objcopy` with `--weaken-symbol` for each duplicate, or link `el_seed.o` before `el_runtime.o` and use `--allow-multiple-definition` if your use case permits it.
-
-### ObjC bridges must use MRC, not ARC
-
-Bridges that use Objective-C (AppKit, UIKit) **must** compile without ARC (`-fno-objc-arc`). The reason: the widget table stores `id` values in a plain C struct. ARC cannot insert retain/release through C struct boundaries, and will reject explicit `[obj retain]` / `[obj release]` calls in ARC mode. Use:
-
-```bash
-clang -ObjC -fno-objc-arc -framework Cocoa -c el_appkit.m
-```
-
-### Widget table struct — don't put `id` fields in C structs under ARC
-
-If you ever add ARC-managed object fields to the `ElWidget` struct, you will get a compile error. Keep the struct C-only (pointers as `void*` if you must, cast when using) or compile as MRC.
-
-### The `el_seed.c` `__manifest_read` is platform-independent
-
-`__manifest_read` is already implemented in `el_seed.c` (in the section compiled unconditionally). You do not implement it in your bridge. You do need to declare it in the `el_native_target.h` block for your platform (matching the other platforms), but `el_seed.c` already has the implementation.
-

-
-## Completion Checklist
-
-Before declaring your bridge ready for integration:
-
- [ ] All 33 `__*` functions implemented (including `__manifest_read` declaration, implementation is in seed)
- [ ] Slot table with 4096 entries, scan starting at index 1
- [ ] `el_widget_get` returns NULL for handle 0, negative, out-of-range, and FREE slots
- [ ] All functions null-check `el_widget_get` result before use
- [ ] `el_<platform>_init` is idempotent
- [ ] `el_<platform>_run_loop` either never returns or is documented as a no-op (Android)
- [ ] Callback dispatch via `dlsym` (or platform equivalent) implemented
- [ ] All UI operations dispatched to the main/UI thread
- [ ] `el_native_target.h` updated with `#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>` block
- [ ] `el_seed.c` updated with `#ifdef EL_TARGET_<PLATFORM>` extern + wrapper block
- [ ] Bridge compiles cleanly with no warnings: `cc -DEL_TARGET_<PLATFORM> -Wall -Wextra -c el_<platform>.c`
- [ ] Bridge links cleanly with `el_seed.o` and `el_runtime.o` (duplicate symbol check)
- [ ] `detect-platforms` script updated with detection logic for the new platform
- [ ] Basic smoke test: create window → add label → show window → run loop

- * el_android.c — Android JNI backend for the el native widget system.
- *
- * This file implements the Android widget layer that el_seed.c calls through
- * to when EL_TARGET_ANDROID is defined.  It is the exact Android counterpart
- * to el_appkit.m and presents the same C API surface.
- *
- * Architecture:
- *   el program (el code)
- *       → __widget_* C builtins in el_seed.c
- *           → el_android_* C-callable functions declared here
- *               → ElBridge static methods in Java via JNI
- *                   → android.view.View subclasses on the UI thread
- *
- * Widget handles: every widget (window root, view, control) is assigned an
- * int64_t slot index into view_slots[].  The el program holds these as opaque
- * Int values.  Slot 0 is never valid (null handle = -1 convention).
- *
- * Threading: Android requires all UI operations to run on the main (UI) thread.
- * Every JNI call that mutates a View is dispatched through
- * Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable) if the current thread is not the UI thread.
- * el_android_run_loop is a no-op — Android lifecycle is driven by the Activity.
- *
- * Callback mechanism: when a widget fires an event Java calls
- *   nativeOnClick / nativeOnChange / nativeOnSubmit
- * The C side looks up the registered El function name for that slot, then:
- *   dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, fn_name)(widget_handle, event_data_string)
- * This matches the __thread_create pattern in el_seed.c exactly.
- *
- * Compile / link (as part of libelruntime.so):
- *   Compiled by the Android Gradle NDK build system with -DEL_TARGET_ANDROID.
- *   Link flags: -landroid -llog -ldl
- *
- * Java companion: ElBridge.java in the same directory must be compiled into
- * the Android application's APK (package com.neuron.el).

- * el_lvgl.c — LVGL v9 backend for the el native widget system.
- *
- * This file implements the microcontroller/embedded widget layer that el_seed.c
- * calls through to when EL_TARGET_LVGL is defined.
- *
- * Architecture:
- *   el program (el code)
- *       → __widget_* C builtins in el_seed.c
- *           → el_lvgl_* C functions defined here
- *               → lv_obj_t widgets via LVGL v9
- *
- * Target platforms: ESP32, STM32, industrial panels, any system with 256KB+
- * RAM and an LVGL-compatible display driver. No OS required.
- *
- * Widget handles: every widget is assigned an int64_t slot index into
- * g_widgets[]. The el program holds these as opaque Int values.
- * Slot 0 is reserved; -1 = invalid handle.
- *
- * Window model: on embedded there is one screen. __window_create configures
- * lv_scr_act() as the root container. __window_show is a no-op (the screen
- * is always visible). __native_run_loop calls lv_task_handler() in a tight
- * loop — on RTOS this runs inside a dedicated task; on bare metal it IS the
- * main loop. The host application is responsible for initialising the display
- * driver and calling lv_tick_inc() before calling __native_run_loop.
- *
- * Callback dispatch:
- *   When EL_LVGL_NO_DLSYM is NOT defined (hosted Linux, testing):
- *     dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, fn_name) resolves the El function symbol at runtime.
- *   When EL_LVGL_NO_DLSYM IS defined (bare-metal ESP32/STM32):
- *     The caller must provide:
- *       el_val_t el_lvgl_dispatch(const char *fn, el_val_t a, el_val_t b);
- *     which maps function names to function pointers via a compile-time table.
- *
- * Font mapping: LVGL v9 ships Montserrat in discrete sizes. __widget_set_font
- * maps the requested point size to the nearest available Montserrat variant.
- * Bold is approximated by stepping up two sizes (no separate bold face in the
- * default LVGL font set). Define EL_LVGL_CUSTOM_FONT to override font_select().
- *
- * Compile (hosted test build):
- *   gcc -DEL_TARGET_LVGL -I./lvgl el_lvgl.c -c -o el_lvgl.o
- *   # Then link with lvgl.a / lvgl source tree.
- *
- * Compile (bare-metal, no dynamic linker):
- *   arm-none-eabi-gcc -DEL_TARGET_LVGL -DEL_LVGL_NO_DLSYM \
- *       -I./lvgl el_lvgl.c -c -o el_lvgl.o
