ci: gate the Linux soul on the contract before publishing
Neuron Soul CI / build (pull_request) Failing after 12m4s
Neuron Soul CI / deploy (pull_request) Has been skipped

Wire the soul contract gate into ci.yaml as a hard block between the cc
build and the Publish-to-Artifact-Registry step. A non-zero gate fails the
build, so a stale (route-404ing) or memory-destroying (hard-deleting) soul
can never publish neuron-soul to foundation-prod or blue-green deploy to
GKE — the same class-fix now guarding the desktop builds, extended to prod.

Vendors scripts/verify-soul-contract.sh (copied from neuron-ui; the route
contract is baked in, so it's portable POSIX bash/curl with no neuron-ui
source dependency). It boots dist/neuron on a throwaway port with a
throwaway HOME/engram/cgi — never touching ~/.neuron or any live service —
and checks PRESENCE (every app route answered) + IMMUTABILITY (no engram
write route hard-deletes; deletes/forgets tombstone). Adds curl to the
build deps for the probe.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# verify-soul-contract.sh — the soul contract gate.
#
# TERMINOLOGY (canonical): the ENGRAM is the brain — the memory/knowledge-graph
# substrate. The binary this gate exercises is the SOUL — the runtime/reasoning
# engine compiled from dist/soul.c that serves the /api/ surface. The app
# (neuron-ui) bundles the soul binary at resources/<platform>/neuron.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS
# For a while the soul binary was hand-dropped, and a stale one shipped: it
# 404'd several capability routes the app calls (knowledge-graph node
# update/delete, live-run narration, safety-contact, ...). This gate makes
# shipping a stale soul IMPOSSIBLE. It has two enforced sections:
# A. PRESENCE — every route the app calls must be ANSWERED (not 404, not
# the el-runtime "no handler"). This is the packaging gate:
# if it fails, do not package.
# B. IMMUTABILITY — engram nodes/memories are immutable by design. To
# "update" is to create a NEW node + a supersede EDGE back to
# the original; the original is KEPT. To "delete" is to
# supersede/tombstone, never hard-remove. A soul that
# hard-deletes an engram node is DEFECTIVE and fails the gate.
#
# SAFETY
# Never touches the live soul (:7770), live engram (:8742), or ~/.neuron.
# Boots on a throwaway port (default 7799) with HOME=$(mktemp -d), a throwaway
# engram snapshot, a non-genesis cgi id, no ENGRAM_URL (so it uses its own
# in-process store, never the live server), NEURON_API_URL pointed at a dead
# port, and no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (so no probe triggers a real LLM call).
# Connectors proxy to a HARDCODED 127.0.0.1:7771 (no env override): those
# sub-routes are probed with GET, which the soul maps to a read-only
# connectd_get, so this gate never writes to a running connectd bridge.
#
# USAGE
# scripts/verify-soul-contract.sh <path-to-soul-binary> [port]
# exit 0 = all required routes answered AND no destructive engram mutation;
# non-zero = a route is missing (presence) or a mutation route hard-deletes.

# =============================================================================
# THE CONTRACT — routes the app (neuron-ui/src/main/kotlin/ai/neuron/ui/*.kt)
# calls against the soul ($SOUL). Format: "METHOD PATH".
#
# EXCLUDED and why:
# /api/auth, /api/auth/status, /api/dispatch, /api/tasks
# -> served by the APP's own DispatchServer.kt (localhost:8080), not the
# soul. Not soul routes.
# /api/tags
# -> not handled by any soul .el (app-side/other). Pre-verified excluded.
# /api/neuron/, /api/neuron/node/, /api/connectors/ (bare prefixes)
# -> base-path string constants used to build the concrete routes below.
#
# KNOWN-PENDING (probed + reported, NON-blocking):
# POST /api/engram/import -> the app's "Restore memory" path. No soul handler
# yet, and the app hides Restore from shipped builds (B3, "lands in an
# update"). Reported so we see it; does not block packaging.
#
# Connectors sub-routes are listed as GET (see SAFETY note): handle_connectors is
# monolithic, so a GET reaching it proves the whole connectors surface without
# writing to the live bridge. Binary-strings cross-check confirms each POST
# sub-path literal is compiled in.
