Regenerates the combined dist/soul.c and per-module dist/*.c from the current
El sources, on top of the elc-source-typo fixes (PR #77) and the Track B
threat-to-others routing (PR #76), both already on this branch.
Validated end to end under a physical-RSS watchdog (macOS silently ignores
ulimit -v / RLIMIT_AS, so every elc/elb run was RSS-polled and kill -9'd at a
3GB ceiling, one module at a time):
- OOM is GONE. The stale dist/soul-with-nlg.el (which still carries the
malformed string literals) explodes to 3.3GB+ and is watchdog-killed at ~90%.
With the typos fixed, every one of the 48 modules compiles at <=18MB peak RSS,
and the full flat amalgamation compiles as a single translation unit at ~68MB.
The 700GB pathology was purely the unbounded-parser-on-malformed-literal loop;
no malformed construct means no loop.
- The regenerated soul.c contains Track B: safety_classify_hard_bell ->
threat_other -> safety_hard_directive routes credible threat-to-others to 911
and explicitly NOT to 988 / the safety contact. Verified in source, in the
emitted C, and in the linked binary's strings. Track A (abuse / self_harm)
is unchanged and still checked first.
- The regenerated soul links to a working native arm64 binary and boots: serves
on a throwaway port, /health returns 200, awareness loop runs.
Also fixes one source blocker discovered during regen (unrelated to the typos
or Track B): chat.el handle_chat_agentic left a void `if { println(...) }` in
value position, which the current elc lowers to `_if_result = (println(...))`
(assigning void) -> invalid C. Bound an explicit Bool so the branch is
non-void; behavior unchanged (still only logs on persist failure).
NOTE (runtime dependency, for controlled deploy): this branch's chat.el calls
engram_get_node_by_label, which the canonical el-compiler/runtime does not yet
declare/define (the release runtime v1.0.0-20260501 has it; the newest runtime
has arena + http_serve_async but not this). Building the soul requires a runtime
that has all three. Land engram_get_node_by_label into the runtime package
before this soul.c can be built in CI.
Do not merge — regen + Track B going live is a controlled-deploy call.
Three unescaped-quote typos produced malformed El string literals that broke
compilation:
- safety.el:282 stray extra double-quote at the tail of safety_soft_phrases
(\"having a breakdown\""]") closed the string early, desyncing the lexer's
string/code phase for the rest of the file and shattering later apostrophe
text (can't, i'm) into bare identifiers -> invalid C.
- sessions.el:517 str_replace(topic_snip, """, ...) — the bare """ is an
empty string plus an unterminated string that swallowed the closing ) and };
with the current elc this triggers the parser overrun -> ~700GB OOM.
- sessions.el:520 unescaped nested quotes in the topic_tags literal.
All three now use escaped inner quotes. Verified: both files compile clean
under the current elc (safety.c and sessions.c well-formed, brace-balanced).
A homicide/assault threat (going to kill, going to hurt, etc.) had no
bucket in safety_classify_hard_bell and fell through to the self_harm
default, showing the user the 988 suicide line and (via the desktop gate)
their safety contact. That framing is wrong and potentially dangerous for
someone voicing intent to harm another person.
Add a distinct Track B (safety_threat_to_others_phrases + a threat_other
classification and a safety_hard_directive branch) that refuses to assist,
de-escalates, and directs to 911 for a credible imminent threat, and that
never surfaces 988 or involves the safety contact. Track A (abuse /
self_harm) is checked first and unchanged, so victim and self-directed
phrasings still route correctly.
Source-only change: requires a soul rebuild + dist/soul.c regen to ship.
