will.anderson c2d8a07c7b transduce: name the invisible mechanism, fix a silent-failure bug, drop a CRUD verb
El SDK CI - dev / build-and-test (pull_request) Waiting to run
ingest and transduce are complements, not synonyms: ingest is the conscious,
deliberate act of pointing at a source (ingest_file/dir/url/llm/stream stay
named exactly that); transduce is the automatic, invisible mechanism inside
it that converts extracted surface content into geometry (renamed
build_prose/build_structured -> transduce_prose/transduce_structured, the
functions that actually turn raw text into a node+edge manifold).

Real bug found and fixed along the way: the final /api/load-merge response
was never checked for an error. A total failure (bad auth, network down,
anything) silently reported nodes_added:0/edges_added:0 — indistinguishable
from a benign 'everything was already known' outcome. Verified live: with a
wrong key, the tool now honestly returns {"error":"load-merge failed:
unauthorized",...} instead of a misleading zero.

Also dropped a CRUD-verb smell: the per-decision println said CREATE (a
database-log verb for something that hasn't actually been written to the
server yet — it's a local, tentative decision pending the batch merge).
Renamed to FORM. The dead-code eg_create_node (defined, never called)
renamed to eg_crystallize_node and annotated honestly as unused, since if
it's ever wired up it represents the real server-confirmed write, unlike
the local FORM guess.

Not yet re-verified end-to-end against a real successful write: the
ingest-test sandbox (nsbx up ingest-test) is itself currently broken —
it prints a green "ready" banner after its own readiness check fails,
and nothing is actually listening. Filed separately; not in scope here.

bigmerge 710bea174d Add native EL afferent ingest organ
El SDK CI - dev / build-and-test (pull_request) Successful in 6m29s
Source-polymorphic ingest(source) primitive: extracts content faithfully
from a directory/file/url/llm-query/structured-primitive-set/stream,
decomposes it into a discrete multi-node graph manifold (nodes + internal
edges, never a single blob), and merges it into the engram geometry with
dedup (search + exact/cosine match), provenance, grounding-level, and
stewardship-class tagging from the moment of entry.

Pure HTTP client of the engram server (links only el_runtime.c, never
el_seed.c/the engine directly). Tested against a live nsbx sandbox engram
clone (127.0.0.1:8903) with real writes confirmed via /api/stats
(node_count 3201 / edge_count 6601).

Excludes ingest/build/ — local compiler scratch output (binaries, .c
codegen, .err logs), not source.

// ingest.el the native EL AFFERENT INGEST ORGAN
//
// The source-polymorphic ingest(source) primitive: point it at a directory,
// file, url, llm-query, structured-primitive set, or stream; it EXTRACTS the
// real content faithfully (no invention), TRANSDUCES it into a DISCRETE
// MANIFOLD (multiple nodes + internal edges meaning-structure, never a
// single blob; the conversion from extracted surface content into geometry
// is automatic and invisible to the caller, the way digestion is invisible
// to the one who chose to eat ingest is the conscious act, transduce is
// the mechanism underneath it, and it is no less real for being unseen),
// and MERGES that manifold into the engram geometry: shared
// meanings DEDUP onto existing nodes (search + exact/cosine match), genuinely
// new meanings add nodes, relations add edges. Every node enters with
// PROVENANCE + grounding-level + stewardship class from the moment of entry.

# sandbox — the Neuron STACK sandbox
**Work on a whole stack at once, not one repo at a time.** `sandbox` assembles every
constituent repo of a named stack into **one combined worktree workspace**, wired so
they build and run **together**, on an isolated clean base — then tears it all down
cleanly. The live soul/engram (`:7770` / `:8742`) are never touched.
It is the multi-repo sibling of [`nsbx`](./README.md): where `nsbx dev` stands up
**one** repo's worktree + an isolated engram, `sandbox` stands up **every** repo of a
stack as sibling git worktrees under a single workspace.
```bash
export PATH="$PWD:$PATH" # or symlink `sandbox` onto your PATH
sandbox neuron-stack tim # el + neuron soul + NeuronUI, assembled together
cd ~/Development/neuron-technologies/stack-worktrees/neuron-stack-tim
source .stack-env # EL_REPO + PATH now point at the SANDBOX el
./build.sh # engram compiles, soul compiles, UI present & buildable
sandbox down neuron-stack tim # remove every worktree; live untouched
```
## The two profiles
### `el-stack` — the whole EL kit
The compiler + language + framework + tooling are **all one repo** (`foundation/el`:
`lang/` = elc/elb + runtime, `engram/src/server.el`, `elp/` = NLG, `ui/` = the **el-ui
framework**, plus `ql`, `ide`, `epm`, `arbor`, `tools`). Its downstream SDK consumers
come along so a change to `elc` can be proven end-to-end across the kit.
| repo | required | role |
|------|----------|------|
| `foundation/el` | ✓ | elc + elb compiler, el_runtime, engram source, **el-ui framework**, elp/ql/ide/epm tooling |
| `engram-language` | | language-faculty reference POC (Python) — being ported into `el/elp` |
| `foundation/forge` | | downstream SDK consumer — `make build` |
| `foundation/dharma` | | downstream SDK consumer — CGI provenance registry |
`build.sh` proves it: `elc` compiles a real stack source and `cc` links it against the
runtime into a native binary (elc + runtime build together), and — if present — `forge`
builds against the freshly-assembled SDK.
### `neuron-stack` — the full product
Substrate + soul + UI. **Engram is not a separate repo** — its source lives inside
`foundation/el`.
| repo | required | role |
|------|----------|------|
| `foundation/el` | ✓ | substrate: elc + el_runtime + engram source + the `elp` NLG the soul imports |
| `neuron` | ✓ | the soul (`:7770`) + engram build; `soul.el` imports `../foundation/el/elp/src/elp.el` |
| `products/NeuronUI` | ✓ | the app/UI (Kotlin/Compose desktop client; bundles the soul binary) |
| `products/web` | | marketing site + interactive soul-demo |
`build.sh` proves it: **engram** builds (`elc engram/src/server.el``cc … el_runtime.c`
→ native binary), the **soul** compiles with its cross-repo `../foundation/el` import
resolving to the *sandbox* el, and the **UI** is present with its build entry.
## Why it works — mirrored-layout wiring
The repos reference each other by **relative sibling paths** (e.g. the soul imports
`../foundation/el/elp/src/elp.el`). So `sandbox` lays every worktree out at its **natural
relative path** inside the workspace:
```
stack-worktrees/neuron-stack-tim/
├── foundation/el/ ← worktree of foundation/el (the sandbox el)
├── neuron/ ← worktree of neuron
└── products/NeuronUI/ ← worktree of products/NeuronUI
```
From `neuron/`, `../foundation/el` resolves to `…/neuron-stack-tim/foundation/el` — the
**sandbox** copy, never the live tree. No symlinks, no path rewriting: the layout *is*
the wiring. `.stack-env` additionally pins `EL_REPO` and prepends the sandbox `elc`/`elb`
to `PATH`.
## Commands
| command | does |
|---------|------|
| `sandbox el-stack <name> [--minimal]` | assemble the EL kit (`--minimal` = required repos only) |
| `sandbox neuron-stack <name> [--minimal]` | assemble the full product |
| `sandbox build <profile> <name>` | run the workspace's combined `build.sh` |
| `sandbox status <profile> <name>` | per-repo head + clean/dirty |
| `sandbox list` | list assembled workspaces |
| `sandbox down <profile> <name> [--delete-branch]` | remove every worktree + drop the workspace (branch kept unless `--delete-branch`) |
Flags: `--minimal` (required repos only), `--branch B` (branch name; default
`sandbox/<profile>-<name>`), `--base REF` (fork point; default each repo's committed
HEAD).
## Rails (always)
- **Clean base** — worktrees fork off each repo's **committed HEAD**; the dirty state of
the live checkout is deliberately *not* carried in.
- **Persistent** — the workspace lives under `NSBX_STACK_ROOT` (default
`~/Development/neuron-technologies/stack-worktrees`), **never `/tmp`** (ablated on
compaction).
- **Never touches live** — `sandbox` only does `git worktree` + offline `cc`. It never
binds `:8742`/`:7770`, never `launchctl`, never `pkill`. Bringing up an **isolated
engram** is delegated, opt-in, to `nsbx` (which guards the live store and refuses the
live ports).
- **Idempotent & safe** — refuses to clobber an existing workspace; a failed assembly
rolls back its partial worktrees; teardown removes worktrees through their origin repo
and prunes.
- **Own-the-core** — pure bash + `git worktree`. No new dependencies.
## Env knobs
`NSBX_STACK_ROOT` (workspace root), `NEURON_DEV_ROOT` (the dir holding all the peer
repos, default `~/Development/neuron-technologies`).
## Isolated engram for `neuron-stack` (opt-in)
`sandbox` gets the code building together; to run the soul against an **isolated** engram
(never live), delegate to `nsbx` from inside the workspace:
```bash
source .stack-env
nsbx create $STACK_NAME --source "$EL_REPO" # clone live store onto a non-default port
nsbx up $STACK_NAME
nsbx status $STACK_NAME # prints the isolated engram URL
```

# $profile / $name — combined stack workspace
Assembled by \`sandbox\`. Every constituent repo is a **git worktree** on branch
\`$branch\`, forked off its origin repo's committed HEAD, laid out at its natural
relative path so cross-repo \`../foundation/el\` imports resolve **inside this
workspace** (the sandbox el), never the live tree.
## Get in
\`\`\`bash
cd $ws
source .stack-env # EL_REPO + PATH now point at the sandbox el
./build.sh # build the stack together (or: sandbox build $profile $name)
\`\`\`
## Layout
__STACK_LAYOUT__
## Isolation
- Worktrees only; the live soul/engram (:$LIVE_SOUL_PORT / :$LIVE_ENGRAM_PORT) are never touched.
- To run against an **isolated engram**, delegate to \`nsbx\` (guards the live store/ports):
\`\`\`bash
nsbx create $profile-$name --source \$EL_REPO && nsbx up $profile-$name
\`\`\`
## Tear down
\`\`\`bash
sandbox down $profile $name # remove every worktree; branch '$branch' kept
sandbox down $profile $name --delete-branch
\`\`\`
