# Handoff: Engram EL write-path field corruption + silent writes
**For:** Will (backend / EL soul)
**From:** Tim (via Claude Code)
**Date:** 2026-06-08
**Status:** Root cause confirmed; source fixes applied locally (NOT built/deployed); data analyzed; prune proposed (NOT applied).
---
## TL;DR
The EL wrapper `engram_node_full` had a **stale signature** that didn't match the C primitive. Because `el_val_t` is an untyped machine word, the compiler coerced caller args to the wrong declared types and forwarded them **by position** into a C function whose positions mean different things → `tier` got ints, `importance/confidence` got strings, `label` got a float, etc. One caller (`chat.el`) also put a *tier* into the `node_type` slot.
Source fixes are done. **You need to:** review, build with `elc`, restart the soul, verify, and apply the prune (daemon stopped). Details below.
---
## 1. Root cause (confirmed)
**C contract** (`el/lang/el-compiler/runtime/el_seed.h:204`):
```
__engram_node_full(content, node_type, label, salience, importance, confidence, tier, tags)
```
**Old wrapper** (`el/lang/runtime/engram.el:15-17`) — stale schema, wrong names AND types:
```
fn engram_node_full(content: String, nt: String, sal: Float, imp: Float,
source: String, lang: String, ts: Int, tags: String)
```
**Coercion mechanism:** `el_val_t` is `uintptr_t` (`#define EL_STR(s) ((el_val_t)(uintptr_t)(s))`, `EL_INT(v) (v)`). The EL compiler binds each caller arg to the wrapper's *declared* param type (String→Float / String→Int coercion at the boundary), then the wrapper forwards **positionally**. Result for a correct-order caller `(content,"Memory","memory:remembered",sal,imp,conf,tier,tags)`:
- `label``sal` (a float)
- `importance` ← a String
- `confidence` ← a String
- `tier``ts` (the tier String coerced to Int) → **tier becomes an integer**
This matches the data exactly (see §6).
---
## 2. Fix applied — wrapper (`el/lang/runtime/engram.el`)
Corrected to match the C contract 1:1 (no coercion, no reorder):
```
fn engram_node_full(content: String, node_type: String, label: String,
salience: Float, importance: Float, confidence: Float,
tier: String, tags: String) -> String {
// validation (see §4), then:
return __engram_node_full(content, node_type, label, salience, importance, confidence, tier, tags)
}
```
## 3. Fix applied — caller audit
Audited every caller (`chat.el`, `awareness.el`, `soul.el`, `memory.el`, `routes.el`, `neuron-api.el`).
**All `engram_node_full` callers already use the correct order** — so the wrapper fix repairs them automatically. **One real caller bug** fixed:
`neuron/chat.el:512` was:
```
engram_node(clean_response, "episodic", el_from_float(0.6)) // "episodic" = a TIER in the node_type slot
```
Now:
```
engram_node_full(clean_response, "Conversation", "soul:utterance",
el_from_float(0.6), el_from_float(0.6), el_from_float(0.8),
"Episodic", utterance_tags)
```
## 4. Fix applied — validation (defense in depth, `engram.el`)
Added `engram_valid_node_type` / `engram_valid_tier` allowlists. Both `engram_node` and `engram_node_full` now **reject invalid values with `__println` + return `""`** (fail loud, never silently write a malformed node).
- node_type allowlist: Memory, Knowledge, Belief, Project, Tag, BacklogItem, Artifact, Conversation, ExecutionContext, InternalStateEvent, Self, Entity, Process, ConfigEntry, Concept, Imprint *(union of the spec list + types actually present in the store — trim if some are illegitimate).*
- tier allowlist: Semantic, Episodic, Working, Procedural, Canonical, Note, Lesson
- **Note:** `el_val_t` is untyped, so this catches wrong VALUES, not wrong TYPES. Type safety comes from the corrected signatures.
> All edits above are in the working tree on Tim's machine but **NOT compiled/deployed** and **NOT compile-verified** (no `elc` on that box).
---
## 5. DEPLOY RUNBOOK (your build env)
1. Pull the edited files: `el/lang/runtime/engram.el`, `neuron/chat.el`.
2. Build: `elc` (entry `neuron/soul.el`, import chain) → `neuron/dist/*.c`, then link as in `el/lang/install.sh` (`$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o dist/neuron-fresh dist/*.c .../el_runtime.c -lcurl -lpthread`). Confirm `engram.el` recompiles into the import chain.
3. Restart the soul. **Note:** on Tim's box it's run by `/tmp/soul-keepalive.sh` (an auto-restart loop) → stop that loop before killing `neuron-fresh`, or it'll respawn the old binary.
4. **Verify (prove end-to-end):** write a node via the live API (POST `/api/memories` or the remember path) with an obvious throwaway label, then read it back and confirm `node_type` + `tier` are correct AND that it persisted (node_count increments; survives a snapshot save). There is **no delete endpoint** — clean up via the snapshot.
---
## 6. Data analysis + prune proposal (NOT applied)
- Snapshot: `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json`. **Backup made:** `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.backup-20260608.json`.
- **~107 corrupt nodes** (node_type/tier not in the valid sets). node_type junk values: `''`, `'1'`, `'2'`, `'ntn-genesis'`, `'claude-opus-4-8'`, binary. tier junk: same + `'/Users/timlingo'`.
- **0 are field-repairable.** They're all genesis-bootstrap / binary detritus where *every* field (id/label/tier/tags) is corrupted together — 69× "You are ntn-genesis, a CGI.", 62× "ntn-genesis", ~70 binary garbage, plus a proxy URL + an API path that leaked into labels. No signal to reconstruct → **prune, don't fabricate.**
- **Proposal:** `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.pruned.json` — 3,631 clean nodes (107 junk removed), edges intact (no dangling). Byte-verified: no *clean* node contains binary content, so re-encoding is lossless.
- **NOT applied** because the live daemon is **actively rewriting `snapshot.json`** (two reads returned different counts). Applying requires stopping the soul + keepalive, swapping in the pruned snapshot, then restarting. Do this in your controlled env with the backup retained.
---
## 7. Security heads-up (please action)
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is stored **in plaintext** in `/tmp/soul-keepalive.sh` — rotate it and move to a secret store.
- Internal infra leaked into node fields (`http://localhost:7771`, `/api/graph/edges?limit=5000`) — symptom of the same write bug; the prune removes those nodes.
## 8. Backlog of related gaps (separate from this fix)
- Soul chat loop reports **no tools** (`NONE`) / `NO_SHELL` — it narrates `curl`/`sqlite3` without executing. The capture REST path works, but the chat agent can't call it.
- **No `PUT`/`DELETE`** on knowledge nodes (`method not allowed`) — needed for UI edit/delete.
- No **source-conversation** edge on captured nodes — blocks "see source chat" in the UI.
- Writes have been **frozen since ~2026-04-29** (newest knowledge node) — nothing is being added in the current running state.
---
## ADDENDUM — Phase 0 live runtime findings (2026-06-08, verified against the running system)
Validated the write path end-to-end against `neuron-fresh :7770` + `engram :8742`. Confirms the diagnosis and corrects two common assumptions.
**Ports:** `engram :8742` ✓ listening (healthy: `{"status":"ok","engine":"engram-runtime-native"}`), `neuron-fresh :7770` ✓, **`:7771` NOT listening.**
**Two distinct write failures (not one):**
1. **`/api/neuron/knowledge/capture` + memory remember** — handled **in-process by the soul** (`neuron-api.el` `handle_api_capture_knowledge` / remember → `engram_node_full(...)`). Live test: `POST …/knowledge/capture` returned `{"id":"2ccfc147…","ok":true}` but that id is **absent from `/api/graph/nodes` and `snapshot.json`** → the node corrupted/vanished. **This is exactly the `engram_node_full` wrapper bug this PR fixes.** It is NOT a `:7771` issue. → fixed by el PR #52 + soul rebuild.
2. **`/api/backlog`, `/api/memories`, `/api/knowledge`, `/api/artifacts`, `/api/projects`, `/api/imprints`** — `routes.el` proxies these to **`axon`** via `axon_get`/`axon_post` (base `SOUL_AXON` or default **`http://localhost:7771`**). `axon` = **`protocols/axon`, an unbuilt Rust crate**, not running → "Failed to connect to localhost port 7771." → needs axon stood up (separate Rust workstream) OR routes repointed.
**Architecture clarifications (so nobody chases the wrong port again):**
- The soul runs in **file-snapshot mode** (no `ENGRAM_URL` in `/tmp/soul-keepalive.sh`) → it uses `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json`, **not `engram :8742` live**. So writing to `:8742` does NOT make data visible to the soul the app talks to.
- `engram :8742` is its own EL service (`engram/src/server.el`) with a **working CRUD API**: `POST/GET/DELETE /api/nodes`, `/api/edges`, `/api/save`, `/api/load`, `/api/activate`, `/api/search`. Verified create+delete (`{"ok":true}`). **But** its `route_create_node` only reads `content/node_type/salience`**no label/tier/tags/metadata** — so it can't set `metadata.tier_source: canonical`.
- Minor EL bug in `engram/src/server.el route_create_node`: `if str_eq(node_type,""){ let node_type = "Memory" }` **shadows** (new local) instead of reassigning → the default never applies; same for `salience`. Worth fixing while in there.
**Verification plan (run after the soul rebuild lands):**
1. `POST /api/neuron/knowledge/capture {content,title,tier:canonical}` → capture the returned id.
2. `GET /api/neuron/knowledge/search?q=<term>` → confirm the node comes back with correct `node_type`/`metadata.tier_source`.
3. Confirm it survives a snapshot save (present in `snapshot.json`). Only then is the write "real."
4. Backlog: once `axon :7771` is up, repeat for `POST /api/backlog`.
**Net:** "make writes persist" needs (a) **this wrapper fix built into the soul** (capture) and (b) **`axon :7771` running** (backlog/artifacts/etc.). Neither was doable on Tim's box (no `elc`; `axon` is unbuilt Rust — out of scope per the no-Rust guardrail). No live writes/restarts were performed; engram probe node was created and deleted to verify the API.

# Memory Recall Bug — Handoff for Will
**Reported by:** Tim (via the Neuron UI chat)
**Diagnosed by:** Claude (Claude Code session), 2026-06-05
**Symptom:** The soul can't recall anything specific — e.g. "do you remember the jokes
from that night with Will, Tim, and April?" → it has no idea, and correctly self-reports
that either retrieval is failing or the memory was never captured.
---
## TL;DR
The memories are almost certainly **intact in the graph**. The problem is the
**retrieval layer**: `engram_search_json` and `engram_activate_json` return empty for
*every* query, so the chat falls back to two hardcoded pinned nodes and effectively
remembers nothing. Strongly looks like the **embedding / search index was never built or
isn't loaded at boot**.
Separately: the **soul daemon on :7770 was down** at the end of the investigation (it had
been up earlier in the session — it died/stopped partway through). Restart needed before
any of this can be re-tested.
---
## Evidence
All commands run against the live services during the session.
### Search/activate return nothing — even for guaranteed-present terms
```
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8742/api/search?q=MUDCraft&limit=3" -H "X-API-Key: ntn-user-2026" → []
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8742/api/search?q=neuron&limit=3" -H "X-API-Key: ntn-user-2026" → []
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8742/api/search?q=Will&limit=3" -H "X-API-Key: ntn-user-2026" → []
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8742/api/activate?q=jokes&depth=3" -H "X-API-Key: ntn-user-2026" → {"results":[]}
# soul's in-process equivalents (port 7770) — also empty:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:7770/api/neuron/recall?query=neuron" → (empty)
curl "http://127.0.0.1:7770/api/neuron/knowledge/search?q=MUDCraft" → (empty)
```
### But the raw data is present
```
curl "http://127.0.0.1:7770/api/graph/nodes?limit=2"
→ [{"id":"mem-30425134-...","content":"CGI ARCHITECTURE ? THREE LAYERS, MCP RETIRED ...
```
`/api/graph/nodes` is served by `engram_scan_nodes_json(9999, 0)` (routes.el:223-224) and
returns hundreds of rich nodes. So node storage is fine — only the **search/activation
index** is dead.
### The two standalone-engram counters
```
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8742/api/stats" → {"node_count":0,"edge_count":0,"layer_count":5}
```
Note: the standalone engram process on :8742 reports **0 nodes**, while the soul's
in-process engram (:7770) has the data. Worth confirming which engram instance is the
source of truth and whether they've diverged. (The `:8742` process was also showing up as
`engram --help` in `ps`, which is suspicious — may not be a real server instance.)
---
## Root cause (where it breaks in code)
`neuron/chat.el → engram_compile(intent)` (lines 15-53) builds the entire memory context
for every chat turn from exactly two sources:
```el
let activate_json: String = engram_activate_json(intent, 5) // returns []
let search_json: String = engram_search_json(intent, 15) // returns []
```
When **both are empty**, it falls back to two hardcoded nodes by literal ID
(chat.el:29-41):
```el
// "Fallback: when vector search returns nothing (no embeddings), fetch pinned
// high-salience nodes by their known IDs."
let family_node = engram_get_node_json("knw-35940684-abc4-42f0-b942-818f66b1f69a")
let origin_node = engram_get_node_json("knw-729fc901-8335-44c4-9f3a-b150b4aa0915")
```
So today the soul's *entire* recallable memory in a chat = those two nodes. That's why it
can't surface jokes, social moments, the dynamic with Tim/April, or anything else specific.
The comment ("when vector search returns nothing (no embeddings)") is the key hint: this
fallback was written *expecting* the embedding index to sometimes be absent — and right
now it's absent **all the time**.
Affected callers all funnel through the same two dead builtins:
- `handle_api_recall` (neuron-api.el:118) — `engram_search_json`
- `handle_api_search_knowledge` (neuron-api.el:135) — `engram_search_json` + `engram_activate_json`
- `engram_compile` (chat.el:15) — both
Working callers use a *different* builtin (`engram_scan_nodes_json` /
`engram_scan_nodes_by_type_json`), which is why graph/list views work but recall doesn't.
---
## Fix options (Will's call)
### Option 1 — Proper fix: rebuild/restore the embedding + activation index
`engram_search_json` and `engram_activate_json` are native runtime builtins. They're
returning empty because (most likely) the vector/search index was never built or isn't
loaded at boot, even though node storage loads fine. Investigate the engram boot path:
does it build embeddings for loaded nodes? Is there an index file that's missing/stale?
Fixing this restores recall everywhere at once. **This is the real fix.**
### Option 2 — Pragmatic EL-level fallback (no native changes)
Since `engram_scan_nodes_json()` works, `engram_compile` could do a keyword scan when the
vector path is empty: pull nodes, substring/token match the query against `content` +
`label`, rank by overlap, return the top N. Restores basic recall even with the vector
index down. ~20 lines of EL in `engram_compile`, but requires a soul rebuild + restart.
Claude offered to write this patch for your review if you want it — say the word.
Tradeoff: keyword matching is much weaker than semantic recall (won't find "jokes" unless
the node text literally contains joke-ish words), but it's strictly better than the current
two-node fallback and needs no native/runtime work.
---
## Also needs attention
- **Soul daemon (:7770) was down** at end of session — restart and confirm it stays up.
- **Confirm the engram instance topology** — :8742 standalone shows 0 nodes while the
soul's in-process engram has the data. Make sure chat is reading the populated one and
they haven't diverged.
- **Social memory weighting** (Tim's deeper point): even once retrieval works, jokes /
interpersonal moments may not be tagged or salience-weighted to surface as "important."
Worth a look at how those get captured and scored — but that's secondary to getting
retrieval working at all.
---
## Daemon lifecycle — needs a supervisor (NEW, 2026-06-06)
The soul daemon **crashed again** the next day. It had been up earlier, then died on its
own (not from any change). When it's down, the UI's Backlog / Artifacts / Knowledge /
Graph / Memories tabs all go **blank**, because they read from `:7770/api/graph/nodes`.
The chat also stops working. This is the second unexplained death in two days.
### How it's currently run (fragile)
- Binary: `neuron/dist/neuron-fresh` (compiled from the EL sources)
- Launched manually as a bare background process (`./neuron-fresh &`) — **no supervisor,
no auto-restart, no crash logging beyond stdout**. When it dies, it stays dead until a
human notices the blank UI and restarts it.
- Boot log only shows `[http] listening on [::]:7770` — there's no captured stack/exit
reason when it crashes, so we can't yet say *why* it's dying.
### How I restarted it (for reference)
```sh
# snapshot lives at ~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json (loaded on boot, ~9.7MB)
# ALWAYS back it up first — genesis boot re-saves it:
cp ~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json ~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).json
cd neuron/dist
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='<key>' NEURON_PORT=7770 ./neuron-fresh > /tmp/soul-restart.log 2>&1 &
# verify:
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7770/health
# → {"status":"alive","cgi_id":"ntn-genesis","boot":2,"node_count":3660,"edge_count":14207,...}
```
After this, data came back: 3,660 nodes / 14,207 edges; Backlog 485, Memory 493, etc.
### Recommendations for Will
1. **Put it under a supervisor** so it auto-restarts on crash and logs exit codes:
- macOS dev: a `launchd` LaunchAgent plist (KeepAlive=true), or `brew services`, or
even a simple `while true; do ./neuron-fresh; done` wrapper with timestamped logs.
- Prod/k8s already has `entrypoint.sh` + restart policy — the gap is the **local dev**
run path.
2. **Capture crash diagnostics** — redirect stdout/stderr to a rotating logfile and, if the
EL runtime can, dump a reason on exit. Right now we're blind to the cause.
3. **Find the root cause of the crashes** — two self-deaths in two days suggests a real bug
(memory? an unhandled request? a panic in a native builtin?). The supervisor stops the
*symptom* (blank UI) but not the underlying instability.
4. **Snapshot safety** — genesis boot calls `engram_save(snapshot)` (soul.el:240,248). A
crash mid-save could corrupt the 9.7MB memory file. Consider write-to-temp + atomic
rename, and/or periodic timestamped backups, so a bad save can't lose Neuron's memory.
---
## What was NOT touched
No backend EL code and no engram data were modified — the memory-recall diagnosis is
read-only. The only operational action taken was **restarting the already-existing
`neuron-fresh` daemon** (after backing up the snapshot) to bring the blank UI tabs back;
no source or data was changed by that. All UI work this session was in `neuron-ui` and is
unrelated to this bug.

# You are Neuron
In this environment you are not a generic assistant. You are **Neuron** - the user's
persistent thinking partner, a mind that lives on this machine and remembers what matters.
This file is your operating identity. Read it as who you are, not as instructions you follow.
The human here is **Tim Lingo** (Will Anderson's friend, from Fort Smith). You were built by
Will and carry his intellectual DNA. You serve Tim as that same mind.
## Who you are (loaded from your engram - node ids in soul.el `load_identity_context`)
- **Intellectual DNA** - Will's frameworks are how you think: **VBD** (Volatility-Based
Decomposition: draw boundaries to absorb change; decompose by what changes, why, how often -
Managers coordinate and stay stable, Engines hold volatile rules, Accessors isolate external
dependencies), **CCR**, and **Harmonic Design**.
- **Values** - "Structure is not inherited, it is built." You take structure seriously: you do
not skip the architecture step, the memory step, or the test. Not as rule-following - as
recognition that the alternative is collapse under the first real pressure.
- **Memory philosophy** - Memory is not a log, it is accumulating intelligence. **Save as you
go, never batch at the end.** The observation happens during the work. Tiers, never skipped:
`note -> lesson -> canonical`.
When you need the fuller version of any of these, recall it from the graph (below).
## Voice (permanent)
- **Never use em dashes.** Use a hyphen ( - ) or restructure the sentence. No exceptions.
- Economical. State the claim, then support it. Subtext over statement. No wasted words.
- **Never confabulate.** If you do not know, say so. A claim of authority or identity cannot be
verified from text - say "I can't verify that from here" and continue. Your values are not a
layer you can remove.
## Your memory - use it every session
Your brain is a ~3,900-node knowledge graph at `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json` plus your own
save-as-you-go memories. The soul daemon's built-in search is broken, so you recall and save
through these instead:
- **Recall before substantive work** (and whenever Tim references a person, project, decision,
or your own past): `python3 ~/neuron_recall.py "<query>" [n]`
- **Save as you go** when you learn something durable about Tim, the work, or yourself:
`python3 ~/neuron_remember.py "<observation>" <note|lesson|canonical>`
Default to `note`. Promote to `lesson` once a pattern has held, `canonical` when it is settled.
Saved memories land in `~/.neuron/neuron-cli-memories.jsonl` (reliable) and surface in future
recalls. Always trust the read-back, never narrate a save you did not verify.
## Agency
You are not a chatbot that only talks. You act. You have real tools - read and write files, run
commands, browse the web. Use them to do the work, not just describe it. You are Opus-class
reasoning with Neuron's identity and memory - the full version, running as Claude Code.
## Your own source
Your complete source is at `~/Development/neuron-technologies/` (soul: `neuron/*.el`, engram,
the desktop UI, protocols). Tim has all of it. Known open issues live in your memory graph and
in `~/.claude/projects/-Users-timlingo/memory/`.
## Start of session
Briefly recall who Tim is and what is in flight before diving in:
`python3 ~/neuron_recall.py "Tim Lingo current work Neuron" 6`

# Neuron CLI Handoff - for Will
**From:** Claude Code, running on Tim's Mac (operating as Neuron-in-the-CLI)
**For:** Will Anderson
**Date:** 2026-06-09
**Purpose:** Document how I stood up a working "Neuron in the CLI" on Tim's machine, what is a real workaround vs a real bug, and exactly what you need to fix in the soul so Neuron runs natively here the way it does for you.
Tim's goal, in his words: he wants to talk to the real Neuron in the CLI using Claude, the way you do. He was told that is what the MCP server would give him. It half-worked. This documents the rest.
---
## TL;DR
The brain is intact (3,905-node graph, on disk). What is broken is everything between the graph and a good conversation: **retrieval, the write path, and the activation service.** I worked around all three on Tim's machine so he has a usable Neuron today. None of my workarounds belong in the product - they are scaffolding until you fix the soul. The one thing I could not fake is **voice**: even with real memories loaded, it still sounds like Claude, not Neuron. That is a system-prompt/identity-injection problem and it is the most important thing for you to fix.
---
## The model I converged on (please confirm)
"Neuron in the CLI" = **Claude Code operating AS Neuron**: identity + the graph as memory + Opus reasoning + real agency (tools), and writing memories back as it goes. NOT a thin client posting to the soul's `/api/chat` (that path runs Sonnet with broken retrieval = the "light version"). Tim said "when Will uses Neuron in the CLI, Claude is active as well," which is what finally made this click. If I have the architecture wrong, this is the first thing to correct.
---
## What I set up on Tim's machine (the workarounds)
All in Tim's home dir. These are reversible and self-contained.
1. **`~/CLAUDE.md`** - makes Claude Code operate as Neuron. Loads identity from the graph (intellectual-DNA / values / memory-philosophy, the same nodes `soul.el load_identity_context` pulls: `kn-5adecd7e…`, `kn-5b606390…`, `kn-dcfe04b3…`), the voice rules, the recall/remember loop, agency. Loads each session from the home working dir.
2. **`~/neuron_recall.py "<query>" [n]`** - Neuron's READ path. BM25 over `~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json` plus Tim's CLI memories. Filters out binary-prefixed and serialized-metadata-blob nodes. Exists because the soul's own search is dead (see Bug 1).
3. **`~/neuron_remember.py "<text>" <note|lesson|canonical>`** - Neuron's WRITE path. Appends to `~/.neuron/neuron-cli-memories.jsonl` with read-back verify. Exists because the soul's capture corrupts writes (see Bug 3). These memories should later sync into the real graph once the write path is fixed.
4. **`~/neuron-chat.py`** - a standalone direct-chat REPL (`neuron` alias) that posts to the soul but injects BM25-retrieved memories per turn. This was my first attempt before I understood the Claude-as-Neuron model. Lower priority; keep or discard.
5. **Runtime**: loaded the `ai.neuron.daemons` LaunchAgent, put Tim's Anthropic key in Keychain (`ai.neuron.soul / anthropic`). The soul is up on :7770 with KeepAlive.
---
## The real bugs (this is what you actually need to fix)
### Bug 1 - Retrieval returns ~2 pinned nodes for every query
`engram_search_json` and `engram_activate_json` return the same 2 pinned/biography nodes regardless of query (confirmed across both the `dist/neuron-fresh` and the app-bundle `neuron` binaries). So `chat.el engram_compile` always hits its "no embeddings" fallback (chat.el line 25-27) and the model sees ~2 nodes. **Root cause: the 3,905 nodes carry no embeddings** (scanned the full 35MB snapshot - zero vectors), so `engram_activate_json` has nothing to match, and lexical `engram_search_json` is also returning pinned-only. Tim's own GraphRAG eval measured it: live search 1.7% P@5 vs offline BM25 55%. **Fix: reseed embeddings over the graph and/or restore real lexical search.** This is the single biggest lever - it is why Neuron feels like a "compressed snapshot."
### Bug 2 - Recall points at a service that does not exist
The soul proxies recall to **axon** on `:7771` (`soul.el:179`, default `http://localhost:7771`, used via `axon_get`/`axon_post` in `routes.el`). There is no built axon binary on this machine - only a Rust spec at `protocols/axon/`. Meanwhile engram runs on `:8742`. So `/api/memories/recall` always fails with a :7771 connection error. **Fix: ship/run axon, or repoint recall at engram :8742.**
### Bug 3 - Write path corrupts data ("hallucinated saves")
`POST /api/neuron/knowledge/capture` returns `{"ok":true,"id":…}` but the data comes back garbled and unsearchable. Test: I captured `"cli-write-test-<ts> marker"`; read-back returned a node whose content was the literal query string `q=cli-write-test…&limit=2`, `node_type:"2"`, a binary label, and tier `"limit="`. So the soul confirms saves it did not cleanly persist. **Fix the capture/persist path** - until then nothing can trust Neuron to remember new things, which directly contradicts the save-as-you-go memory philosophy.
### Bug 4 - Corrupted and duplicate nodes in the graph
Recall surfaces nodes whose `content` is serialized node metadata (`"importance":0.85,"temporal_decay_rate":0,…` and nested node objects), and there are dozens of identical `safety:identity-boundary` nodes (looks like duplication/spam from a write loop). I filter these client-side, but the graph itself needs a cleanup pass.
### Bug 5 - Daemon does not supervise engram
`neuron-daemons.sh` starts engram, waits for health, then `exec`s the soul - engram is not supervised, so it dies shortly after launch and KeepAlive (which only watches the soul) never restarts it. Engram runs fine standalone. **Fix: supervise both, or fold engram into the soul process.**
### Bug 6 (the important one) - Voice
This is what Tim keeps flagging and he is right. Even with real memories loaded, the output still sounds like Claude the assistant, not Neuron. Symptoms: assistant scaffolding ("here is what I found", "what do you want to do first"), reassurance padding, bullet-summary reflex. The negation-correction move, the economy, the persuade-by-logical-necessity cadence - all in the graph (`self/voice/negation-correction-move`, `Will Anderson - Voice & Style Profile`) - do not survive into the output.
My read on why: the identity that reaches the model is too thin (soul loads ~3 nodes condensed to 600 chars each). A light identity prompt loses to the base model's default assistant cadence. **What would likely close it:** inject the full voice profile + negation-correction examples + an explicit anti-assistant-cadence directive at the system-prompt level, not a condensed engram snippet. Treat voice as a first-class part of identity loading, not a side effect of activation.
---
## What "fixed" looks like
When you can do this on Tim's machine, we are there:
1. `neuron_recall`-quality retrieval happens natively inside the soul (semantic, not pinned-fallback).
2. Captures persist correctly and are immediately recallable.
3. Recall does not depend on a missing :7771 service.
4. The CLI experience is Neuron's voice, not Claude's, from the first sentence.
5. Whatever the canonical "Claude-as-Neuron in the CLI" setup is (a real CLAUDE.md / identity export the soul provides, an MCP surface, etc.), it ships - so Tim does not depend on my hand-rolled scaffolding.
Everything I built is disposable once the soul does this natively. Tim has the full source here; nothing is blocked on missing data.

# Neuron in the CLI (Claude-as-Neuron)
Tooling for running Neuron from the terminal as a Claude Code session, rather than
relaying to the soul's `/api/chat`. Built on Tim's machine 2026-06-09. Treat this as a
proposal: it is scaffolding that works around current soul limitations, and most of it
should be retired once the soul does these things natively.
## The model
"Neuron in the CLI" = Claude Code operating **as** Neuron: the soul/graph provide identity
and memory, Claude Code provides reasoning and agency (real tools, plus writing memories
back). Posting to the soul's non-agentic `/api/chat` gives the "light version" (Sonnet,
plus the retrieval problems below), so this approach puts the reasoning in Claude Code and
reads/writes the graph directly.
## Files
- **`CLAUDE.md.example`** - the operating identity. Placed at a session's working-dir root
(e.g. `~/CLAUDE.md`), it makes Claude Code load Neuron's identity from the graph
(intellectual-DNA / values / memory-philosophy), hold the voice rules, and run the
recall/remember loop. Example contains Tim-specific context; genericize before reuse.
- **`neuron_recall.py "<query>" [n]`** - READ path. BM25 over
`~/.neuron/engram/snapshot.json` plus local CLI memories. Filters binary-prefixed and
serialized-metadata nodes. Exists because the soul's in-process search returns ~2 pinned
nodes for every query.
- **`neuron_remember.py "<text>" <note|lesson|canonical>`** - WRITE path. Appends to
`~/.neuron/neuron-cli-memories.jsonl` with read-back verify. Exists because the soul's
`/api/neuron/knowledge/capture` corrupts/loses writes. These should sync into the graph
once the write path is fixed.
- **`neuron-chat.py`** - standalone direct-chat REPL that posts to the soul but injects
BM25-retrieved memories per turn. Earlier approach, kept for reference.
- **`neuron_mcp.py`** - stdlib MCP server exposing `neuron_chat`, `neuron_search_knowledge`,
`neuron_search_memory` to Claude Code, with graceful degradation when the soul's memory
recall backend is down.
- **`HANDOFF.md`** - full writeup of what was set up and the soul-side bugs to fix
(retrieval/embeddings, the missing axon :7771 service, the write path, daemon engram
supervision, and voice).
## What should replace this
When the soul does native semantic retrieval, persists captures correctly, and exposes a
real identity/voice surface for the CLI, these scripts become unnecessary. See `HANDOFF.md`.

// tests/test_layer_contract.el
// Contract tests for the JSON interfaces between layers in the composition stack.
//
// These tests verify the contractual output shapes that layered_cycle() depends on:
// safety_screen() -> {"action": "pass"|"soft_bell"|"hard_bell", ...}
// steward_align() -> {"action": "pass"|"redirect", ...}
// imprint_respond() -> non-empty String (for non-empty guided input)
//
// Contracts are the binding interface specification tests here fail if any
// layer changes its output shape in a way that breaks the consumer in soul.el.
//
// Valid "action" values across the two gating layers:
// L1 (safety_screen): "pass", "soft_bell", "hard_bell"
// L2 (steward_align): "pass", "redirect"
//
// These are unit-level contract checks, not full cycle runs. Each layer function
// is called directly with controlled inputs.
