// language-profile.el - Language profile data and accessors.

// A language profile is a slot map ([String] key-value list) describing the
// typological properties of a natural language.  The engine reads these
// properties to drive morphology, word-order, and question-formation without
// any per-language code paths.
//
// Profile slot keys:
//   code        - ISO 639-1 code: "en", "ja", "ar", "zh", "de", "fr", "es", "sw", "hi", "ru", etc.
//   word_order  - "SVO" | "SOV" | "VSO" | "VOS" | "OVS" | "OSV" | "free"
//   morph_type  - "isolating" | "agglutinative" | "fusional" | "polysynthetic"
//   has_case    - "true" | "false"
//   has_gender  - "true" | "false"
//   script_dir  - "ltr" | "rtl" | "ttb"
//   agreement   - semicolon-separated features: "number;person" | "number;person;gender;case" | "none"
//   null_subject - "true" | "false"   (pro-drop: subject may be omitted)

//                                    table-driven per language.
//   "polysynthetic" (various)      - complex verb complexes; returns base form,

// Language-specific dispatch (added in 0.3.0):

//   and delegate to the corresponding language module when one is available:
//     es -> morphology-es.el     (Spanish)

// Japanese is SOV, agglutinative, pro-drop.  Morphology is suffix-chain based.
//
// Key facts:
//   - Nouns do not inflect; grammatical relations are marked by postpositional
//     particles attached after the noun.
//   - Verbs inflect for tense, polarity, and politeness.
//   - Two main verb groups: Ichidan (vowel-stem, Group 2) and Godan (consonant-
//     stem, Group 1), plus a small set of irregular verbs.
//   - Politeness levels: plain (dictionary/casual) and polite (masu-form).
//   - Questions are formed by appending the sentence-final particle か (ka).
//
// Depends on: (no dependencies - standalone morphology module)

//
// Key facts:
//   - Vowel harmony: suffixes harmonize with the stem's vowel class.
//     Back vowels (a, o, u) → back-harmony suffixes (-ssa, -sta, -an, etc.)
//     Front vowels (ä, ö, y) or neutral-only stems → front-harmony (-ssä, -stä, -än, etc.)
//   - Consonant gradation: alternation between strong and weak consonant grades.
//     Full gradation tables are large; this module implements the most common
//     patterns.  Irregular/exceptional stems must be supplied in inflected form.
//   - Verbs conjugate for person (1/2/3) and number (singular/plural), plus tense
//     (present/past) and polarity (affirmative/negative).

//   3fs:  -at

// apply the suffix.  In Arabic script the final short vowel (fatha ـَ) on the
// last consonant of the base is part of the grapheme cluster of that consonant;
// for our stored strings the form كَتَبَ is stored with the final fatha attached
// to the ب.  The suffix strings already include the vowel that replaces it, so
// we drop 1 character from the base.

// the El string system handles as UTF-8.  The actual Arabic forms are stored

// ── Conjugation class detection ────────────────────────────────────────────────
//
// Latin verbs fall into four conjugation classes identified by the infinitive
// ending.  The 2nd and 3rd conjugations both end in -ere; the 2nd has a long
// e (stem vowel retained before -re), the 3rd has a short e (thematic vowel).
// Heuristic: if the verb stem before -ere ends in a consonant cluster or a
// single consonant preceded by a short vowel, treat as 3rd; otherwise 2nd.
// In practice the caller passes dictionary infinitives, so we check known 2nd
// conjugation markers (stem ends in -e before -re, i.e. the penult is e) and
// known 4th (-ire) vs 3rd (-ere with consonant stem).
//
// Simplified detection strategy:
//   ends in -are  -> "1"
//   ends in -ire  -> "4"
//   ends in -ere  -> check penultimate vowel pattern:
//       stem + "ere" where stem ends in a vowel-like syllable -> "2"
//       otherwise -> "3"
//
// For the small working vocabulary, we rely on the ending length heuristic:
//   -ere with 2nd conj: the infinitive without -re has a long e as last char,
//   meaning the four chars before the final "re" are "e-consonant" or "ee".
//   Simpler: ends in -ere and has stem length >= 3 with last stem char a vowel
//   -> 2nd; else 3rd.  This correctly handles monere (2nd) vs dicere (3rd).

//
// Implements Modern Hebrew verb conjugation (Pa'al binyan, participle-based
// present tense), noun pluralization, and definite-article prefixing.
//
// Hebrew is a Semitic language with a trilateral root system shared with
// Arabic.  Like Arabic, words are built from three-consonant roots by
// applying vowel patterns (mishkalim) around the root.
//
// Modern Hebrew (the target) profile:
//   code=he, name=Hebrew, morph_type=semitic, word_order=SVO,
//   question_strategy=intonation, script=hebrew, family=semitic
//
// Key grammatical facts:
//   - Grammatical gender:  masculine (m) / feminine (f)
//   - Number: singular / plural (dual exists but is marginal in Modern Hebrew)
//   - Verbs: built from 3-letter roots via binyanim (verb patterns)
//     Pa'al (פָּעַל) is covered here — the most common pattern for everyday verbs
//   - Present tense is participle-based (בינוני / binyan) with gender/number
//     agreement suffixes on the verb; it doubles as an adjective form
//   - Copula: present tense uses zero copula (omit "to be" entirely);
//     past tense uses היה/הייתה/היו (haya/hayta/hayu)
//   - Definite article: prefix ה (ha-) attached directly to the noun;
//     consonant doubling after ה is simplified to just "ha" prefix here
//   - Questions: rising intonation (no morphological change); optional
//     particle האם (ha'im) at sentence start; this engine uses intonation
//     strategy (question mark added by realizer)
//   - Script: Hebrew Unicode (right-to-left).  The El runtime currently
//     outputs non-ASCII as numeric hashes (runtime limitation), but str_eq
//     and string literals work correctly internally.  When the VM adds UTF-8
//     output support, all Hebrew strings will display correctly automatically.
//
// Verbs covered (by infinitive, transliterated and Hebrew):
//   "lihyot"   / לִהְיוֹת  — to be   (copula, zero-present, haya-past)
//   "haya"     / הָיָה     — to be   (dictionary alias → lihyot)
//   "be"                   — English canonical → lihyot
//   "lir'ot"   / לִרְאוֹת  — to see
//   "le'exol"  / לֶאֱכוֹל  — to eat
//   "ledaber"  / לְדַבֵּר  — to speak
//   "lalechet" / לָלֶכֶת  — to go

// ── Present-tense (participle / binyan) agreement suffixes ────────────────────
//
// Modern Hebrew present tense is built from the Pa'al participle stem.
// The participle agrees with the subject in gender and number.
//
// For Pa'al (CoCeC pattern), the present-tense forms are:
//   Masc sg:   base participle stem (e.g. רוֹאֶה ro'e — sees)  [no suffix]
//   Fem  sg:   stem + ת (-t / -et)  depending on root
//   Masc pl:   stem + ים (-im)      (often with vowel change in the root)
//   Fem  pl:   stem + ות (-ot)
//
// Rather than attempting to derive these from the root (which requires knowing
// the full vowel pattern), we store the four present-tense forms explicitly
// for each covered verb.  This is the standard approach for a finite NLG
// system covering a curated verb set.
//
// Present forms are indexed by a 2-bit form code:
//   0 = masc sg   (ms)
//   1 = fem  sg   (fs)
//   2 = masc pl   (mp)
//   3 = fem  pl   (fp)

//
// Typology note: Ancient Greek is a heavily inflected synthetic language with
// rich morphophonology.  Nouns carry gender, case, and number in fused endings.
// Verbs encode tense, aspect, voice, mood, person, and number.  The augment
// (ε-) marks past indicative.  All polytonic diacritics are preserved in
// string literals; comparisons use exact Unicode equality.
//
// Verb conjugation covered:
//   Tenses:    present, imperfect, aorist, future
//   Persons:   first/second/third × singular/plural (slots 0-5)
//   Class:     thematic (-ω) verbs
//   Irregulars: εἰναι (be), ἔχειν (have), λέγειν (say), ὁράω (see),
//               ἔρχεσθαι (come/go)
//   Canonical map: "be" -> "εἰναι"
//
// Noun declension covered:
//   Cases:       nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, vocative
//   Declensions: 1st (-α/-η fem), 2nd masc (-ος), 2nd neut (-ον), 3rd (base)

// morphology-ang.el - Old English (Anglo-Saxon) morphology for the NLG engine.
//
// Implements Old English verb conjugation, noun declension, and the definite
// article/demonstrative pronoun.  Designed as a companion to morphology.el and
// called by the engine when the language profile code is "ang".
//
// Language profile: code=ang, name=Old English, morph_type=fusional,
//   word_order=SOV, question_strategy=intonation, script=latin, family=germanic.
//
// Typology note: Old English is a synthetic Germanic language with four
// grammatical cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders,
// and strong/weak noun and verb classes.  Strong verbs form their past tense by
// internal vowel change (ablaut); weak verbs use a dental (-de/-ode) suffix.
// Long vowels are marked with a macron (ā ē ī ō ū) and are preserved in all
// string literals; ǣ, æ, þ, ð, and ƿ (wynn) are used where historically
// appropriate.  V2 (verb-second) word order applies in main clauses but is not
// enforced by this module — the realizer handles constituent ordering.
//
// Verb conjugation covered:
//   Tenses:    present, past
//   Persons:   first/second/third × singular/plural (slots 0-5)
//   Classes:   weak (regular -ian), strong irregular table
//   Irregulars: wesan/beon (be), habban (have), gān (go), cuman (come),
//               secgan (say), sēon (see), dōn (do), willan (want), magan (can)
//   Canonical map: "be" -> "wesan" (past) / "beon" (present)
//
// Noun declension covered:
//   Strong masc a-stem  (cyning pattern): nom/acc -∅, gen -es, dat -e; pl -as/-a/-um
//   Strong neut a-stem  (word pattern):   sg same as masc; pl nom/acc -∅
//   Weak n-stem         (nama pattern):   sg nom -a, obl -an; pl -an/-ena/-um

// Implements Gothic verb conjugation and noun declension using standard

//
// Language profile: code=got, name=Gothic, morph_type=fusional,
//   word_order=SOV, question_strategy=intonation, script=gothic-latin,
//   family=germanic.
//
// Historical note: Gothic is attested primarily in the 4th-century Bible
// translation by Bishop Wulfila (Ulfilas).  It is the earliest substantially
// attested Germanic language and preserves many archaic features lost in later
// branches (e.g. distinct dual, mediopassive voice, four-case system).
//
// Romanisation conventions used in this file:
//   þ  — thorn (voiced/voiceless dental fricative; like "th" in "the/thin")
//   ƕ  — hwair  (Gothic hw-, like "wh" in older English "what")
//   q  — Gothic q (labiovelar stop, like "qu")
//   ei — long /iː/ (Gothic digraph)
//   ai — short /ɛ/ (Gothic digraph, not a diphthong)
//   au — short /ɔ/ (Gothic digraph, not a diphthong)
//   Standard vowels: a e i u (short)
//
// Verb conjugation covered:
//   Tenses:   present indicative active, past indicative active
//   Persons:  first/second/third × singular/plural
//   Classes:  weak class 1 (-jan verbs), weak class 2 (-on verbs) as
//             the regular productive paths
//   Irregulars: wisan (be), haban (have), gaggan (go), saihwan (see),
//               qiþan (say), niman (take)
//   Canonical map: "be" -> "wisan"
//
// Noun declension covered:
//   Cases:      nominative, accusative, genitive, dative  (all 4 Gothic cases)
//   Stem types: a-stem masc (paradigm: dags — day),
//               o-stem fem  (paradigm: gibo — gift),
//               n-stem masc (paradigm: guma — man)
//   Numbers:    singular, plural
//
// Demonstrative / article:
//   Gothic has no definite article proper.  The demonstrative pronoun
//   sa (masc) / so (fem) / þata (neut) functions as a near-definite
//   determiner.  got_noun_phrase prepends "sa" (masc) or "þo" (fem) when
//   definite=true.  Gender must be inferred from stem class: a-stem → masc,
//   o-stem → fem, n-stem → masc.

// Historical note: Old French (ca. 900–1400 CE) is the ancestor of Modern
// French.  It diverged from Vulgar Latin and retained a two-case system —
// nominative (cas sujet) and oblique (cas régime) — inherited ultimately from
// Latin.  By around 1300 CE the case distinction had largely collapsed in
// spoken usage, surviving mainly in formal written registers until it
// disappeared altogether.  This file targets the core Old French period
// (ca. 1000–1300).
//
// Two-case system (masculine nouns):
//   Singular:  nominative stem + -s  (li murs = the wall [subject])
//              oblique    stem       (le mur  = the wall [object])
//   Plural:    nominative stem       (li mur  = the walls [subject])
//              oblique    stem + -s  (les murs = the walls [object])
//   Feminine nouns show no case distinction throughout.

// called by the engine when the language profile code is "goh".
//
// Language profile: code=goh, name=Old High German, morph_type=fusional,
//   word_order=V2, question_strategy=inversion, script=latin,
//   family=germanic.
//
// Historical note: Old High German (ca. 750–1050 CE) is the earliest
// substantially attested stage of High German, preserved in texts such as the
// Hildebrandslied, the Muspilli, and Notker's translations.  It is the
// ancestor of Middle High German and thence Modern German.  The "High" refers
// to the geographical highlands of southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland —
// distinct from the Low German / Old Saxon dialects spoken to the north.
//
// Defining feature — the Second Germanic Consonant Shift (Hochdeutsche
// Lautverschiebung), which distinguishes OHG from Gothic and Old English:
//   p → ff/pf  (Gothic "skip" → OHG "skif"; Goth "apan" → OHG "affo")
//   t → ss/z   (Goth "watan" → OHG "wazzer"; OE "tid" → OHG "zit")
//   k → ch     (Goth "mikan" → OHG "mihil")
// This shift only applies to inherited consonants and not to recent loanwords.
//
// Three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), four cases (nominative,
// accusative, genitive, dative), and two numbers (singular, plural).
//
// Verb conjugation covered:
//   Tenses:   present indicative, past indicative
//   Persons:  first/second/third × singular/plural (slots 0-5)
//   Classes:  weak verbs (dental -ta past suffix — the most productive class)
//   Irregulars: wesan/sīn (be), habēn (have), gān (go), sehan (see),
//               quethan (say), tuon (do)
//   Canonical map: "be" -> "wesan"
//
// Noun declension covered:
//   Strong masc a-stem  (tag — day):   4 cases × sg/pl
//   Strong fem  ō-stem  (geba — gift): 4 cases × sg/pl
//   Strong neut a-stem  (wort — word): 4 cases × sg/pl
//   Weak masc   n-stem  (boto — messenger): 4 cases × sg/pl
//
// Demonstrative / definite article:
//   OHG uses the demonstrative dër/diu/daz (the) which doubles as a definite
//   determiner.  This implementation selects the correct nominative form by
//   inferred gender and passes it as a separate word before the noun.

//
// Implements Old Babylonian Akkadian verb conjugation (G-stem / Grundstamm),
// noun declension with mimation, and noun-phrase construction.
//
// Akkadian is the oldest attested Semitic language (ca. 2800–100 BCE).
// It uses cuneiform script; we work in standard Latin transliteration
// (Old Babylonian dialect — the classical prestige form).
//
// Language profile:
//   code=akk, name=Akkadian, morph_type=semitic, word_order=VSO/SOV,
//   script=cuneiform (transliterated), family=semitic/east-semitic
//
// Key grammatical facts:
//   - Semitic trilateral root system: words built from 3-consonant roots
//     by inserting vowel patterns (e.g. root p-r-s → iparras "he decides")
//   - Grammatical gender: masculine / feminine (no neuter)
//   - Cases: nominative (-um), accusative (-am), genitive (-im) — "mimation"
//   - Number: singular / plural (dual is vestigial in verbs)
//   - Verb stems: G (basic), D (intensive), Š (causative), N (passive);
//     this file implements G-stem throughout
//   - Two main tense/aspect systems:
//       Present-future (iparras pattern): action in progress or future
//       Perfect (iptaras pattern): completed action with present relevance
//       Stative (paris pattern): resultant state, often adjectival
//   - No definite or indefinite article; case endings convey
//     determination contextually
//   - Copula: bašû (to exist/be)
//
// Verb conjugation conventions:
//   person:  "first" | "second" | "third"
//   gender:  "m" | "f"
//   number:  "singular" | "plural"
//   tense:   "present" | "perfect" | "stative"
//
// Noun declension conventions:
//   gram_case: "nom" | "acc" | "gen"
//   number:    "singular" | "plural"
//   gender:    "m" | "f"   (passed to akk_decline for gender-specific forms)
//
// Verbs covered (G-stem infinitive, transliterated):
//   "bašû"   — to exist / be  (copula)
//   "alāku"  — to go
//   "amāru"  — to see
//   "qabû"   — to say
//   "epēšu"  — to do / make
//

//                     𐎀𐎎𐎗𐎚 — Ugaritic, the language of the city-state of Ugarit.
//
// Implements Ugaritic verb conjugation (G-stem, suffix and prefix conjugations),
// noun declension (three cases, gender, number, dual), and noun-phrase construction.
//
// Ugaritic is a Northwest Semitic language (ca. 1400–1200 BCE), written in a
// 30-character alphabetic cuneiform.  It is closely related to Biblical Hebrew
// and Phoenician.  We work in standard Latin transliteration:
//   ʼ = aleph (glottal stop)   ʻ = ʿayin   ḫ = het   ġ = ghayin
//   ṯ = thet  ẓ = emphatic z   š = shin     ṣ = tsade
//
// Language profile:
//   code=uga, name=Ugaritic, morph_type=semitic, word_order=VSO,
//   script=alphabetic cuneiform (transliterated), family=semitic/northwest-semitic
//
// Key grammatical facts:
//   - Semitic trilateral root system (nearly identical to Hebrew/Arabic)
//   - Grammatical gender: masculine / feminine
//   - Cases: nominative (-u), accusative (-a), genitive (-i)
//     (mirrors Akkadian but with shorter endings — no mimation in Ugaritic)
//   - Number: singular / plural / dual
//   - Dual: nom -āma, gen/acc -ēma
//   - Verb tenses:
//       qtl  (perfect, suffix conjugation)  — completed action
//       yqtl (imperfect, prefix conjugation) — ongoing / future action
//   - Verb stems: G, D, Š, N (this file: G-stem throughout)
//   - No separate definite article (unlike later Hebrew ha-)
//   - Copula: root kn (to be)
//
// Verb conjugation conventions:
//   person:  "first" | "second" | "third"
//   gender:  "m" | "f"
//   number:  "singular" | "plural"
//   tense:   "perfect" | "imperfect"
//
// Noun declension conventions:
//   gram_case: "nom" | "acc" | "gen"
//   number:    "singular" | "plural" | "dual"
//
// Verbs covered (G-stem root, transliterated):

//
// Implements Middle Egyptian verb conjugation (sdm=f / sdm.n=f paradigm),

// Designed as a companion to morphology.el; called when language code is "egy".
//
// Language profile: code=egy, name=Ancient Egyptian, morph_type=agglutinative,
//   word_order=SVO (Middle Egyptian nominal sentences), question_strategy=particle,
//   script=hieroglyphic (transliterated here as ASCII), family=afro-asiatic-egyptian.
//
// Script note: Classical transliteration uses special characters (ꜣ ꜥ ḥ ḫ ẖ š q ṯ ḏ).
// This engine uses a safe ASCII mapping:
//   A = ꜣ (aleph/glottal stop)   a = ꜥ (ayin)
//   H = ḥ (h with dot)           x = ḫ (velar fricative)
//   X = ẖ (emphatic h)           sh = š (sh sound)

// Grammatical notes (Middle Egyptian, ca. 2000–1300 BCE):
//   - Aspectual system: Imperfective (sdm=f), Perfective (sdm.n=f), Prospective
//   - "tense" labels used here: "present" (imperfective), "past" (perfective),
//     "future" (prospective/sdm.xr=f), "infinitive"
//   - Two grammatical genders: masculine (unmarked) and feminine (suffix -t)
//   - Number: singular (unmarked), dual (-wy masc / -ty fem), plural (-w masc / -wt fem)
//   - No case endings — syntactic role expressed by word order and prepositions
//   - No definite/indefinite article in Middle Egyptian (Late Egyptian introduced pꜣ/tꜣ/nꜣ)
//   - Zero copula: adjectival predicates need no verb "to be" ("nfr sw" = "he is good")
//   - Suffix pronouns attach directly to the verb stem with = (e.g. sdm=f "he hears")
//
// Persons/numbers covered (suffix pronoun paradigm):
//   person:  "first" | "second" | "third"
//   gender:  "m" | "f" (relevant for 2sg, 3sg; 1sg and plurals often unmarked)
//   number:  "singular" | "dual" | "plural"
//
// Verbs covered (ASCII transliteration → gloss):
//   wnn      — to be/exist (copular auxiliary)

// morphology-sux.el — Sumerian morphology for the NLG engine.
//
// Implements Sumerian noun declension, verb conjugation, and sentence
// construction.  Designed as a companion to morphology.el and called by
// the engine when the language profile code is "sux".
//
// Language profile: code=sux, name=Sumerian, morph_type=agglutinative,
//   word_order=SOV, question_strategy=particle, script=latin_transliteration,
//   family=isolate (no known relatives).
//
// Typological overview:
//   Sumerian is the world's oldest attested written language, first recorded
//   in Uruk ca. 3500 BCE; active spoken use through ca. 2000 BCE; learned
//   scribal language to ca. 100 CE.  It is a language isolate — unrelated to
//   any other known language family.
//
//   ERGATIVITY: Sumerian is ergative-absolutive.  The subject of a transitive
//   verb (the AGENT) takes the ergative case (-e).  The subject of an
//   intransitive verb and the direct object of a transitive verb share the
//   same form: the ABSOLUTIVE (unmarked, no suffix).  This is structurally
//   the opposite of nominative-accusative languages (like Latin or Greek)
//   where the subject of both transitive and intransitive verbs is marked the
//   same way.  Example: lugal-e é mu-un-dù = "the king built the house",
//   where lugal-e = king-ERG (agent of transitive dù "build") and é = house-ABS
//   (patient, unmarked).
//
//   NOUN CLASSES: animate (humans, gods) and inanimate (everything else).
//   Animate plurals use -ene; inanimate plurals use -a (collective).
//
//   VERB CHAIN: Sumerian finite verbs are polysynthetic chains encoding:
//     (modal)(negation)(dimensional prefixes)(stem)(voice/causative)(suffixes)
//   The dimensional prefix chain includes pronominal agreement markers for
//   agent and patient.  This module implements a simplified but linguistically
//   honest subset: perfective mu-/imperfective i- prefix + personal suffixes.
//
//   KEY VERBS: Several high-frequency verbs have frozen citation forms.
//   The copula is often omitted in equational sentences; when present it is
//   usually the clitic -am₃ or the verb me "to be".
//
//   TRANSLITERATION: Standard Assyriological transliteration uses subscript
//   numbers for sign disambiguation (dug₄, tum₂, am₃) written here with the
//   corresponding Unicode characters (dug4, tum2, am3 using ASCII where the
//   subscript forms are unavailable in string literals, or as ₄ etc. where
//   needed).  Special characters: š (sh), ŋ (velar nasal), ĝ (= ŋ alternate),
//   ḫ (voiceless velar/uvular fricative).
//
// Cases implemented:
//   absolutive (∅), ergative (-e), genitive (-ak), dative (-ra),
//   locative (-a), ablative (-ta), comitative (-da), equative (-gin)
//
// Depends on: morphology.el (str_ends_with, str_len, str_slice, str_eq,
//   native_list_empty, native_list_append, native_list_get, native_list_len)

// and noun-phrase construction.
//
// Ge'ez (also: Classical Ethiopic, gǝʿǝz) is the ancient Semitic language
// of the Kingdom of Axum (ca. 300–900 CE active liturgy; ca. 1st century BCE
// epigraphic attestation).  It remains the liturgical language of the
// Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches.  Modern Ethiopian Semitic languages
// (Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre) descend from Ge'ez or a closely related ancestor.
//
// Script: Ge'ez Fidel (ፊደል) — an Ethiopic abugida (Unicode U+1200–U+137F).

// NOTE on El runtime: the El VM currently outputs non-ASCII as numeric hashes
// (runtime limitation for non-Latin scripts).  str_eq and string comparisons

// Language profile:
//   code=gez, name=Ge'ez, morph_type=semitic, word_order=SOV,
//   script=ethiopic-fidel, family=semitic/south-ethiopic-semitic
//
// Key grammatical facts:
//   - SOV word order — unusual for Semitic (Arabic, Hebrew, Akkadian are VSO);
//     Ge'ez shares SOV with modern Ethiopian Semitic descendants
//   - Semitic trilateral root system (root + vowel pattern = word)
//   - Gender: masculine (default) / feminine (often marked with -t suffix)
//   - Number: singular / plural; dual vestigial
//   - Cases: nominative (unmarked), accusative -a (animate masc nouns),
//     construct/genitive (various; simplified to base form here)
//   - Plural: no single rule; common patterns: -āt (fem/animate), -ān (masc),
//     broken (internal vowel change, unpredictable without lexicon)
//   - Verb system:
//       Perfect (suffix conjugation): completed action
//       Imperfect (prefix conjugation): ongoing / future / habitual
//     Four derived stems: basic (G), causative (ʾa-), intensive (doubling),
//     passive (te-); this file implements basic G-stem throughout

// Language profile: code=cop, name=Coptic, morph_type=agglutinative,
//   word_order=SVO, question_strategy=particle, script=coptic, family=afro-asiatic-egyptian.
//
// Script: Coptic uses the Greek alphabet plus seven additional letters borrowed
// from Demotic Egyptian.  All Coptic-script characters in this file use their
// correct Unicode code points (Coptic block U+2C80–U+2CFF; Coptic letters also

// The El runtime stores strings as byte arrays.  String literals with Coptic
// Unicode characters are encoded as UTF-8 and compared via str_eq byte equality.
// The runtime limitation on non-ASCII *output display* does not affect internal
// string logic — str_eq and concatenation work correctly.
//
// Grammatical notes (Sahidic Coptic, ca. 200–1000 CE):
//   - SVO word order (Greek influence; reversed from classical Egyptian)
//   - Definite articles prefixed directly to the noun (no space):
//       p- (masc sg), t- (fem sg), n- (plural) — definite
//       ou- (sg indefinite), hen- (pl indefinite)
//   - Grammatical gender: masculine / feminine (still active)
//   - No case endings — grammatical role expressed by word order + prepositions
//   - Verb tense/aspect expressed by conjugation base (bipartite pattern):
//       Present I:   pronoun prefix + verb stem  ("f-bwk" = he goes)
//       Perfect:     a- + pronoun prefix + verb   ("a-f-bwk" = he went)
//       Future:      pronoun prefix + na- + verb  ("f-na-bwk" = he will go)
//   - Pronoun prefixes (Sahidic — used as subject markers in bipartite conjugation):
//       1sg: a-/t- (full: ⲁⲛⲟⲕ)   2sg m: k-   2sg f: te-
//       3sg m: f-                   3sg f: s-
//       1pl: n-                     2pl: teten-   3pl: se-

// agent.el — The cognitive loop.
//
// run_loop() cycles forever: perception → reasoning → action → record.
// The loop is the soul's pulse. Every iteration:
//
//   1. perceive()  — query Engram for pending input nodes (the inbox).
//                    The agent owns the input stream as graph nodes,
//                    not as a queue. Recent inputs are working-tier
//                    nodes tagged "soul-inbox-pending".
//
//   2. decide(in)  — classify the input and pick an action. This is the
//                    single point where the loop reaches into the LLM
//                    surface for free-form reasoning (when ENABLE_LLM is
//                    truthy) or into pattern dispatch (when not). The
//                    reasoning step strengthens every node it traverses
//                    on the activation path — Hebbian, unconditional.
//
//   3. act(action) — execute the action. For now: produce a response
//                    Engram node tagged "soul-outbox", and mark the
//                    input as handled. The host/embedder reads outbox
//                    nodes and ships them.
//
//   4. record(out) — persist the outcome as a working-tier Engram node
//                    linked to the input node, so the next iteration's
//                    consolidation pass can promote durable patterns.
//
// The shape of the loop matters more than the depth of any single step.
// A shallow but coherent loop, called continuously, builds Hebbian
// pressure over time — the substrate that makes the soul a soul rather
// than a request handler.

// iteration leaves a trace there. The agent loop reaches into Engram to

// (Hebbian strengthening). Consolidation moves nodes between tiers based
// on activation history — working → episodic → canonical — so the graph
// densifies around what actually mattered.
//
// This file wraps the lower-level engram_* runtime primitives in a small,
// disciplined surface that the agent loop, imprint loader, and HTTP
// control plane all share. Higher levels of the soul never call
// engram_node / engram_search directly; they go through these wrappers
// so tier discipline, Hebbian rules, and tagging are enforced once.
//
// Memory tiers (mirroring Neuron's discipline):
//   Working   — short-lived; raw observations from the loop
//   Episodic  — episodes; consolidated working nodes that survived
//   Canonical — durable; episodic nodes with high re-activation
//
// Hebbian rule (unconditional): every traversal strengthens. The loop
// calls engram_strengthen on EVERY node touched in a reasoning step,
// not just the ones that "succeeded". Strengthening reflects use, not
// outcome. The shape of the graph is the shape of attention.

//      act → record. Hebbian strengthening on every traversal.
//
//   2. An HTTP control surface (default port 7770; override via
//      NEURON_PORT). Five routes:
//
//        GET  /health              → {"status":"alive","cgi_id":"..."}
//        POST /imprint/contextual  → load a contextual suit

//                                     no slot count exposed — opacity rule)
//        POST /synthesize          → wraps synthesis.el's synthesize();
//                                     returns {"mechanism":"did not engage"}

// Authority: the soul daemon IS the Founding CGI. It declares a `cgi {}`
// block to authorize all primitive calls — dharma, llm, engram. Anything
// less is a service, and a service cannot self-form. The soul is not a
// service.
//
// Note on layering: this file is intentionally written so it compiles
// standalone. The other soul/*.el files are separate compilation units
// today; the production build will concatenate them via el's vessel
// system once cross-file imports actually concatenate (currently the
// `import` statement is parsed but not propagated to codegen). Until
// then, the routes in this file refer to the agent/imprint/synthesis
// helpers by their wire protocol — over HTTP / Engram / state — which
// is the durable interface anyway.
