bigmerge 112bb2540f Add nsbx — the Neuron Sandbox primitive
Generalise the ad-hoc cog-arch (worktree+build+store-clone+C-tests) and
store-fix (secondary soul + launchctl rails cutover) proto-sandboxes into one
reproducible primitive: run experiments and code changes against the REAL
engram runtime on an isolated snapshot of the live mind, with a gated
promote-to-prod path.

Dev environment as a primitive — any team member gets a private, isolated copy
of the mind (separate port/store/process); prod on :8742/:7770 is untouchable
from a sandbox. Wraps the real binary; never reimplements engram logic.

Lifecycle: create/up (consistent store+WAL+config snapshot; place OR build the
runtime from --source/--branch/--binary; boot on an isolated port) · build ·
run · validate (rails as checks: zero-loss under load+reboot, reboot-prove, RSS
bound, retrieval parity, keystone integrity) · promote (gated rails cutover:
snapshot-first, additive binary swap, bootout→settle-poll→bootstrap, verify,
auto-rollback; never pkill/kickstart -k; dry-run unless approved) · destroy.

Dogfooded: reproduced retrieval-parity 25/25 vs baseline and the cog-arch
correspondence-loop known result (Brier 0.028648->0.000586, reboot-proven) and
real-store reboot-prove at 10994-node scale, all inside a sandbox; prod
untouched.

# nsbx — the Neuron Sandbox: a reproducible primitive for running experiments and
# code changes against the REAL engram runtime on an isolated snapshot of the live
# mind, with a gated promote-to-prod path built on the proven rails.
#
# It WRAPS the real engram binary — it never reimplements any engram logic. The only
# prod-touching op is `promote`, which is explicit, gated, and per-use approved.
#
# Generalises two proven proto-sandboxes:
# - the cog-arch build (isolated git worktree + build + clone of live .egm + real C tests)
# - the store-fix cutover (secondary soul + launchctl bootout->settle->bootstrap rails)
#
# Lifecycle: create -> [build] -> run -> validate -> promote(gated) -> destroy
#
# Rails (always): built offline; NEVER auto-promotes; never touches live :8742/:7770
# except READ for the snapshot and the gated promote; snapshot-first; honest measured
# reporting. Cutover is launchctl bootout -> settle-poll -> bootstrap ONLY —
# never pkill, never kickstart -k.
