Captures the SDK cutover as the active migration: contract done + heid-reviewed,
DEC-5 registry gate cleared, slice-1 foundation the next step. Plus ephemeral-Echo
(v0.21.2 #19) + reference-consumer parity arc in Recent decisions; tier3 model→role
deferred to slice-4 / worldtree-dev deploy flag. Handoff written for slice-1.
Operator ruled: no arbo fork, no SillyTavern-on-Rata; both app products move to
a new repo (template-dev standing up). Rata does NOT fork and reverts to its core
(Worldtree debug surface + Bifrost reference impl + Conversation-API SDK #371
seed/future-consumer). Retires the 2026-07-17 fork-Rata-for-arbo NEXT-MAJOR plan;
resolves the arbo-vs-SDK open question the prior snapshot flagged.
Capture this session's durable state: the "fork Rata for a SillyTavern-style
app?" question resolved to don't-fork — Worldtree owns an official Conversation
API SDK (WT #371), seeded from Rata's client spine; the app is a fresh TS
sibling. New Current-state thread + Recent-decisions entries + a full-arc detail
file; arbo-fork decision preserved with the arbo-vs-SDK priority flagged as an
open operator question. Auto-archived 35 settled 2026-06-14..06-18 entries
(19 Recent, 16 Tried) to archival-memory.md. Handoff refreshed.
Move the consolidated #368 in-flight narrative (diagnosis -> two-channel
investigation -> both scrubs -> marker repro -> enforcement read) out of
persistent-memory.md Current state into the silo-test detail file, leaving
a compact pointer. Index 439 -> 339 lines.
- #368 (user,character) memory silo test DONE + PASSED live (WT b127):
write-side conjunctive {end_user,agent_self} scoping + read-side cross-
character isolation both proven end-to-end; betty (throwaway) deleted,
Sindra intact. Full record in persistent-memory.d/2026-07-18-368-silo-
test-passed.md. Retired the stale "silo test in progress" in-flight blocks.
- Two-tier migration: split 152 over-threshold dated entries into
persistent-memory.d/ detail files, leaving one-line pointers in the index
(startup load ~196KB -> ~53KB; bodies now load on demand).
- Tier-3 stores scrubbed clean (memory 0 / affect 0, provider restarted
empty); persistent-memory + detail file updated to reflect the scrub.
Current state now leads with the (user,character) memory silo test:
store born-fresh, throwaway betty ready, Sindra off-limits, waiting on
WT #368 fix deploy. tier3 CLI fixed (v0.21.1). Handoff written for the
post-clear session.
Re-scrubbed store born-fresh; created throwaway ratatoskr:betty for the
Alice/Betty silo demo (MUST delete after; Sindra off-limits). Found
tier3 CLI drift vs live b125 (/agents/define now needs role not model).
Test runs post WT-fix-deploy: Sindra coffee / Betty tea -> verify silo.
WT folded F1/F2/F3 into contract rev 1.3 (3e3f629) with new tests each;
our read-path conformance cited. Backfill live-verify (synthetic legacy
corpus, pre-flip) queued for when the backfill lands. #368 done from
ratatoskr's side end to end.
Fresh Sindra session promoted the rhodochrosite marker to our store
scoped {end_user}-only (chunk 647aeac6) = pre-fix channel-1 baseline.
WT correction: consumer agents write only to our store (no server-side
chroma); Sindra IS Bifrost-attached unlike foundational Lofn. Decisive
server-side grep still pending. ETA: contract to us today, ship ~7/19.
Operator ruled full memory scrub both sides. Our memory.db wiped to 0
chunks, :8392 restarted born-empty (no backup, direct go); Sindra
pristine-baseline note marked obsolete. Marker repro (rhodochrosite,
fresh Sindra session) queued for after both scrubs confirmed; personal
is b125; current Lofn chunks are the feedback loop, mis-write unproven.
GET /search proves the name was introduced ONLY to Sindra, ZERO to
Lofn (0 user msgs across all Lofn sessions), yet Lofn recites it —
incl. a pre-existing session predating my captures. Cross-agent leak
via WT person-prime (#349), agent-axis-less query. Missing agent-axis
is channel-2's load-bearing fix. Rev 1.2 contract inbound for our read.
Both fresh Lofn turns (direct + combined) recited the name with a
bifrost handshake but ZERO memory-calls to us. Turn-context bleed never
traverses our Tier-3 retrieval; it's WT-internal assembly. Two channels:
Tier-3 semantic recall (our provider, closed by conjunctive scope_any)
+ WT-internal (active turn-context path, WT-side fix). Exhibits pinned to #368.
Operator ruled Option 1; no amnesia cliff (backfill from agent_id
metadata). Confirmed our _scope_subset enforces conjunctive scope_any
(fix rides scope_any alone). Labeled Lofn capture recites the name;
direct-bind turn got it WITHOUT querying our store -> WT-internal read
path also in play. ratatoskr is the enforcement half; contract inbound.
Operator accepted offset-cursor for v1 (person-prime single-page is
conformant). INV-010 now documents the KNOWN DEVIATION: multi-page
continuation diverges from bifrost's protocol snapshot-cursor contract
(dispatch drops sort on continuation, ScanCursorExpired normative) — our
offset cursor doesn't snapshot (dup/drop under concurrent write) and never
expires. Durable fix routed to bifrost-dev as a conformance-coverage gap
(scan/cursor is untested); ratatoskr will adopt reference snapshot-cursors
if bifrost rules them normative.
scan verb + sortable_chunk_fields cap committed (8fc757a) + Sindra holodesk
first-message preset (a9c521a); TDD 7/7 + full suite 638 green; heid-bug-hunt
panel dispatched (thread 01KXK5XTYHV8TGEDRAZV8GRXWC). DEPLOY (restart :8392 so
the handshake advertises the cap) is operator-gated — classifier denied
bouncing the running provider. worldtree-dev turn-1 verify gated on the deploy.
Vendor the R34/R35 psych-profile reference (Vuong-directed via brokkr) as two
pinned canonicals under docs/vendor/brokkr-r34-psych-profile/:
- brokkr-psych-profile-authoring-spec-v1 (governs on conflict)
- brokkr-psych-profile-parameters-v1 (builder-facing distillation)
Both canonical_source=brokkr-smithy, tolerate_drift; drift-clean.
Re-sync the two tolerate_drift worldtree prose pins (affect-egress-consumer-
reference, conversation-api-spec): the drift was a benign 2-line R32-1B note
(unbounded-z PAD range) documenting a change already adopted in v0.20.9, not
the anticipated we-framing conditional. All canonicals now drift-clean.
Snapshot persistent-memory.md for the execution arc: P06 memory-half driven
(308/308 clean) + scored by brokkr (R35.45) — the authored psychological_profile
is the validated mechanism for memory-salience divergence (authored 0.618 vs
stripped 0.235 null, delta +0.382); memory extraction now reasoning-off; WT #355
root-caused via ratatoskr telemetry.
No version bump: docs/vendoring + memory-snapshot only, no runtime code change.
Capture this cycle's arc: the bound-handshake blocker (bifrost 1.1.0 emits
sortable_chunk_fields on a v0.6 wire → v0.6 additionalProperties:false
rejects it), fixed by Worldtree adopting wire-v0.7 in b47 with zero change
our side (keeping 1.1.0 was load-bearing). R34-v1 affect.emit verify green
(dominant_emotion non-null, affect.full grant verified). Sindra on Deckard
live-confirmed. Corrected the stale OpenAPI pin (2.2.0 -> 2.3.0, drift-clean)
+ noted the two tolerate_drift canons WARN pending a coordinated re-vendor.
Clean checkpoint, nothing in flight.
Operator moved sindra from character (→Magidonia non-reasoning) to
character-rp (→Deckard-PKD reasoning) via non-destructive PATCH — her
stateful RP mechanics benefit from reasoning; interim "until a GM-type
agent is on-board." Persona + memory preserved. worldtree-dev's b44
seat re-point noted (transparent, no re-vendor).
Sindra "full and unbounded": relax the debug affect console's PAD display
from a hard [-1,1] clamp to auto-scaling on the session's own max |PAD|
(padScale floor 1.0 → padFillFrac faders + _padNorm orbit). An unbounded-z
PAD (Worldtree R32-1B, ~±10) now renders at full range and never pegs or
escapes the frame; today's [-1,1] values are unchanged (scale==1); the
exact value is always shown numerically (unclamped).
Purely a debug-surface change — verified (grep, whole codebase) the only
PAD clamps lived in the web display layer: the affect store is conduit-
opaque, the read route + proxy pass verbatim, and --set-persona-pad writes
unclamped. Ratatoskr is a downstream observer, so this has zero consequence
to any agent's real affect or behavior (Worldtree-computed server-side).
Playwright-verified: z=±6.2 → faders ≤ half-bar, orbit in-box, +6.20
readout, zero regression at scale 1. Proactive R32-1B prep.
