@will.anderson — consolidated release critical-path to beta, from a verified audit (Tim's grounded Neuron instance). Today's merged soul fixes are not reaching anyone: the binary that ships predates them, and the pipeline to rebuild it is red. The whole gate, in one place.

Verified (today)

Soul build + deploy CI is fully red — every recent run fails at elb: link failed in the "Build neuron soul binary" step (main, #22, #23, and the deploy job). This is the el linker / SDK toolchain, not application code.
The shipped/live soul binary is from Jun 16 (765760, 19:18) — it predates today's merges. So #17–#22 (agentic), #58 (atomic engram_save), #59 (accumulation) are in source but in no running binary. Live :7770 and the bundled Neuron.app both run the old soul → agentic still broken + engram-clobber risk still live for any tester.
App is adhoc-signed only (TeamIdentifier not set; spctl fails "sealed resource missing or invalid") → Gatekeeper blocks external installs.

Critical path (mostly yours)

Fix the elb link failure / el-sdk runtime so a fixed soul binary builds reproducibly (CI, or a documented manual path). This is the gate on everything else.
Merge #22 (web_search dedup — safe; all merged #17–21 are red on the same toolchain) → rebuild the soul binary.
Bundle that binary into Neuron.app + Developer-ID sign + notarize (you hold the certs).

My open soul PRs awaiting your build + review (compile-checked with `elc`, NOT link-gated locally — darwin `elb` is wrong-arch here)

#22 your web_search dedup — safe to merge through the red.
#23 agentic file-tool workspace-scope — design review: lexical .el guard (defense-in-depth) vs. moving real isolation into el_runtime.c.
#24 canonical-self bridge — identity-architecture review: bridge-edge vs. repointing the resolver. (Note: the HANDOFF's "value edges don't exist live" was stale — they exist; only the anchor mismatch was real.)

Once 1–3 land, agentic + crash-safe memory actually ship, and the remaining punch-list is UI polish + product decisions. I'm building the solo UI items (agent workspace, etc.) in parallel so they're ready when the binary is.
