Convert routes.el from ~89 hand-written dispatch branches to 75 @route-decorated
handlers with VBD roles (@manager/@accessor/@utility), driven by the modular
compiler's native @route dispatch. routes.elh updated to match.
Fix four latent bugs that the modular compiler surfaces (unlike the old inlining
compiler, it faithfully emits every source statement, so per-module compilation
no longer silently drops code):
- safety.el: malformed soft-phrases literal (extra unescaped quote)
- sessions.el: str_replace quote arg + topic_tags JSON escaping
- memory.el mem_save and neuron-api.el consolidate: engram_save returns a Bool,
not a String; str_eq(result, "") dereferenced the Bool value (0x1) as a char*,
segfaulting the awareness loop on boot and POST /api/neuron/consolidate.
Check it as a Bool (if !save_result). The old compiler dropped these checks,
masking the bug in the shipped dist/soul.c.
Regenerate dist/soul.c through the bounded per-module path (modular elc per module
plus amalgamation that embeds dist/elp-c-decls.h), never by folding soul.el through
elc (27GB OOM). Verified on a throwaway snapshot and port: boots with the awareness
loop active and no segfault, @route dispatch matches the manual dispatcher across
all sampled routes and the four shadowing-hazard pairs, and consolidate returns 200.
- sessions.el: new sessions module with session management and approval gate
- routes.el: wire /api/sessions routes (list, get, create, approve, tool_result)
- chat.el: thread-aware activation — short messages anchor to last reply
before engram compilation so follow-ups stay on-topic
- chat.el: agentic path tracks per-session history (session_hist_{id})
instead of shared conv_history, seeding each turn with prior context
- chat.el: add call_neuron_mcp, dispatch_tool, is_builtin_tool, next_bridge_id
agentic_loop, bridge_save, agentic_resume, handle_tool_result
- dist/soul: rebuild with all of the above
neuron-api.el is a new first-class El module that implements all Neuron
cognitive API handlers natively — no HTTP round-trips, no MCP wrapper,
direct engram builtin calls. All capabilities that previously lived in
the MCP wrapper adapter now live here in the soul.
Handlers: begin_session, compile_ctx, remember, recall, search_knowledge,
browse_knowledge, capture_knowledge, evolve_knowledge, promote_knowledge,
browse_processes, define_process, log_state_event, list_state_events,
inspect_config, tune_config, inspect_graph, link_entities, list_typed,
consolidate.
Routes wired in routes.el under /api/neuron/* (GET + POST).
Also compiles all loop-1/loop-2 .el source changes into dist/*.c and
rebuilds the binary. memory.elh and neuron-api.elh updated with new exports.
- soul.el: SOUL_CGI_ID, SOUL_ENGRAM_PATH, SOUL_IDENTITY env vars;
state_set("soul_snapshot_path") so callers can find it; only call
init_soul_edges() when cgi_id == "ntn-genesis"
- chat.el: handle_dharma_room_turn — soul builds its own context from its
own engram, assembles system prompt, calls LLM, persists episodic memory;
also fix is_new_tool scoping bug in handle_chat_agentic (use has_tool)
- routes.el: wire dharma_room_turn event type before chat_as_soul branch
- rebuild dist/neuron: handle_dharma_room_turn now compiled in
Routes a new event_type "chat_as_soul" through dharma/recv. The Studio
preassembles the system_prompt + transcript and dispatches per-speaker;
the soul-binary just performs the LLM call as the requested speaker_slug.
No engram_compile here — each soul has its own engram (88xx) and the
Studio queries it before composing the prompt.
Also: track the previously-untracked split source modules (chat, routes,
memory, awareness, studio) and add build.sh so the binary can be rebuilt
without the studio’s concat trick. elb resolves the import graph and
emits one .c per .el; we link them together with cc. dist/soul-el now
points at dist/neuron via symlink (matching the launchctl plist).
