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).
planWork fell through create_typed_node to a generic /api/neuron/memory write — a [BacklogItem]-prefixed
memory blob with title/project/priority DROPPED, never a real BacklogItem. reviewBacklog used a lexical
/recall (top-50, untyped). Now: planWork -> /api/neuron/node/create {node_type:BacklogItem,...} via new
create_node_typed; reviewBacklog -> list_typed('BacklogItem') (GET /api/neuron/list/BacklogItem). elc-clean.
Depends on neuron PR #58 (the list/<type> slice fix) to round-trip; needs the wrapper binary rebuilt +
:7779 restarted to take effect.
