Subject: [PATCH 1/6] self-review 2026-07-19: close silent sync-starvation hole
 + heartbeat deltas
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- engram refresh URL now resolves env -> state -> localhost:8742, same
  hardening ise_post got after the boot-4 blackout. Previously a corrupted/
  empty soul_engram_url state key silently disabled sync forever while
  heartbeats kept flowing — WM starves of Knowledge nodes with no outward
  sign.
- heartbeat ISE: node_delta, edge_delta (growth vs stall vs flood is now
  one field, not cross-ISE forensics), sync_age_ms from a new
  soul.last_sync_ok_ts stamp (-1 = never; >> SOUL_REFRESH_MS = refresh
  path broken). Verified live: pulse 1 sync_age_ms=-1, sync fired +1.6s,
  age counts up between syncs.

The soul daemon leaked ~104 orphan in-memory nodes/min (17.6GB RSS,
OOM-killed) because the perceive gate substring-matched 'soul-inbox'
against the loop's own verbatim-copy output, the trigger node was
strengthened but never consumed, and record() persisted a Memory node
per cycle. Fixes: perceive gates and activates only on the dedicated
soul-inbox-pending tag; one_cycle requires the tag on the node's tags
field before attending (makes consumption safe); processed triggers
are consumed via engram_forget; loop outcomes route through ISE
telemetry (48h prune) instead of permanent Memory nodes.

Verified post-restart: node_delta 104→~0, curiosity scans resumed,
WM average unfrozen (0.120833→0.0676), RSS 17.6GB→184MB.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Add non-overridable bounded-persona floor to customer
 chat

A customer DMG install ships the full graph but presents a named, bounded
assistant that must never claim the imprint's human past. The neuron-ui
retrieval fence keeps the imprint's biography out of the ENGRAM CONTEXT; this
is the second half - it stops confabulation ("tell me about your childhood")
from inventing a human life or naming Will, even if biography leaks into context.

bounded_persona_floor() gates on SOUL_PERSONA_NAME: the customer DMG sets it,
owner (Will's) builds leave it unset so the real self is completely unchanged.
Applied at every generation path - chat, agentic (tools), vision, plan, soul,
dharma - so no path can leak.

Verified against claude-sonnet-4-5: with the floor on and Will's biography
deliberately leaked into the identity context, all probes (childhood / creator /
family) return the bounded-entity answer and explicitly refuse to claim the
leaked life; with the floor off the same context is fully confabulated as its own.

NOTE: dist/soul.c must be regenerated on a build host - local link is blocked by
a pre-existing el_runtime mismatch (engram_prune_telemetry), unrelated to this change.

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Make engram deletes/updates/forgets immutable on the
 launch branch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The ship-soul builds from this branch, which has the bounded-persona floor
(#93) but never received the tombstone/supersede immutability fix (that
went to main; hotfix diverged before it). So the launch soul failed
verify-soul-contract IMMUTABILITY on the delete/update/forget routes —
they hard-removed engram nodes via engram_forget/mem_forget.

Apply the same fix, mirroring the knowledge routes' supersede pattern:
- node/update -> create new node + "supersedes" edge to the original, KEEP
  the original (no engram_forget).
- node/delete, memory/delete, memory/forget, cultivate forget, and the
  autonomous awareness forget -> TOMBSTONE via the canonical mem_tombstone
  (memory.el): keep the node + its edges, record a Tombstone marker, hide
  from default bounded list reads (?include_deleted recovers). Never
  engram_forget. The MCP forget tool now routes to the tombstoning delete
  instead of faking a delete.
Internal GC that genuinely removes transient nodes (awareness inbox-trigger
consume, consolidation dedup, session-summary replace, telemetry pruning)
still calls engram_forget directly and is unchanged.

Regenerated dist/soul.c (single-TU) + per-module dist/{memory,awareness,
neuron-api}.c from THIS branch's sources under a 3GB physical-RSS watchdog
(peak ~32MB), built against the release el_runtime (v1.0.0-20260501). The
bounded-persona floor is preserved — verified in the emitted C and the
linked binary (BOUNDED PERSONA / SOUL_PERSONA_NAME strings present).

verify-soul-contract.sh: GATE PASS — PRESENCE all 27 routes, IMMUTABILITY
5/5 KEPT (memory-update, memory-delete, node-update, node-delete,
memory-forget).

From 091cc1fc0ef8abf7215e915557454d14cb9eb67f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Will Anderson <will.anderson@neurontechnologies.ai>
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:50:59 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Fix issue #150: fresh-install genesis boot SIGSEGV in
 mem_save
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A fresh-install (SOUL_CGI_ID=ntn-genesis) boot crashed with
"Segmentation fault: 11" right after the http server came up — a real
customer's very first boot. Backtrace:

  strcmp(0x1) <- str_eq (el_runtime.c:219) <- mem_save <- awareness_run

Root cause: the el runtime's engram_save returns an Int (1 = ok, 0 =
failure), but mem_save did `str_eq(engram_save(path), "")`, treating the
return as a String. str_eq runs EL_CSTR on it, which is a raw cast:
EL_CSTR(1) = (char*)0x1. On a SUCCESSFUL save (return 1) strcmp then
dereferences 0x1 and segfaults. Genesis is the first path that both seeds
the brain AND saves it successfully on the very first awareness pass, so it
crashes there; non-genesis boots (contract gate, refusal test) don't hit a
successful early mem_save, which is why they passed. handle_api_consolidate
had the identical latent bug.

Fix: read engram_save's Int result and compare `== 0` instead of str_eq'ing
it — in mem_save (memory.el) and handle_api_consolidate (neuron-api.el).

Regression: pre-existing, NOT introduced by the immutability/floor rebuild.
The pre-immutability build (1442ce2) genesis-crashes identically in the same
unchanged mem_save; #159 never actually fixed #150 for a release-runtime
build.

Regenerated dist/soul.c + per-module dist/{memory,neuron-api}.c (3GB RSS
watchdog, built against release el_runtime v1.0.0-20260501). Verified:
genesis boot survives (/health 200, no segfault), verify-soul-contract.sh
GATE PASS (PRESENCE + IMMUTABILITY), and the bounded-persona floor is still
compiled in (BOUNDED PERSONA / SOUL_PERSONA_NAME strings present).

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Fix truncated POST/GET /api/safety-contact response
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Saving the 988 crisis-line contact returned truncated, unparseable JSON —
cut mid-"set_at" at the file's byte length (e.g. 178 of a 218-byte
response). The contact written to disk was complete; only the HTTP response
was clipped, so a real customer's crisis-contact save came back corrupt.

Root cause is in the el runtime's response writer, not a handler buffer:
fs_read stores the file's byte count in a thread-local (_tl_fs_read_len)
for binary-safe file serving, and the response writer uses that length when
non-zero instead of strlen(body) (el_runtime.c:1409). Both safety-contact
handlers call fs_read (the POST read-back verify; the GET file read) and
then return a LONGER wrapped JSON string, so the response is capped to the
file size.

Soul-source fix (no runtime change needed):
- POST: verify persistence via fs_write's return (1 = all bytes written)
  instead of an fs_read read-back — removes the fs_read, so nothing caps the
  response.
- GET: fs_read is required, so reset the thread-local after it with a no-op
  fs_read("") (fs_read zeroes the length before it opens a path) so the
  wrapped response is sent in full.

Verified: POST (crisis-line + custom) and GET now return complete, valid
JSON (parses cleanly, full contact incl. set_at). Regenerated dist/soul.c +
dist/safety.c (3GB RSS watchdog, release el_runtime v1.0.0-20260501).
Full suite still green: verify-soul-contract GATE PASS (PRESENCE +
IMMUTABILITY), genesis boot survives (/health 200, no segfault), bounded-
persona floor still compiled in.

NOTE: the underlying runtime leak (any handler that fs_reads then returns a
longer string) is worth a proper fix in el_runtime.c (use the max of
strlen and _tl_fs_read_len) so this class can't recur.
