Fix truncated POST/GET /api/safety-contact response

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.
Fix issue #150 : fresh-install genesis boot SIGSEGV in mem_save

-#!/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.

will.anderson	a45a3ca379	Fix truncated POST/GET /api/safety-contact response 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.	2026-07-21 12:13:58 -05:00
will.anderson	091cc1fc0e	Fix issue #150 : fresh-install genesis boot SIGSEGV in mem_save 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).	2026-07-21 11:50:59 -05:00
will.anderson	9a491a8e6d	Merge pull request 'Immutability fix (tombstone/supersede) on the launch branch' (#94 ) from fix/immutable-on-hotfix into hotfix/elc-source-typos	2026-07-21 16:05:15 +00:00
will.anderson	6527988eb9	Make engram deletes/updates/forgets immutable on the launch branch 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).	2026-07-21 10:55:46 -05:00

will.anderson	c2a45df286	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.	2026-07-21 10:11:39 -05:00
will.anderson	c63e3d1a68	self-review 2026-07-21: break perceive→respond→store feedback loop in awareness 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.	2026-07-21 08:50:47 -05:00
