Engine packages

GitHub

Ignition stays priority-0; Phase 0–1 run in parallel. Phase 2 GUI gated on ignition milestone or founder call.

Law: engine/ is domain-agnostic; vertical logic lives in adapters/<vertical>/.

Closed RSI loop

Multi-property

Each property = thin adapter + shared engine. Phase 4: MCP (DC-040) + 2nd adapter proof (DC-041).

Open cortex issues

Brain merge checklist — SSOT §2 recipe

Before merging a Cursor draft PR, all five must be true:

1. Tests pass — cortex-ci green on the PR; make cortex-test passes locally.
2. Behaviour unchanged — golden test passes (byte-identical deterministic output).
3. Engine stays clean — no dental strings in cortex/engine/** (CI guard).
4. Scope only — PR touches only files named in the ticket; importers still work.
5. Status updated — SSOT §5 row for that ticket is flipped.

If any fail, comment on the PR — do not merge. Respect the ≤3 open worker-PR cap (§6).

The rhythm

Phase 1–4 backlog: DC-010 → DC-042 in BACKLOG.md. Copy a row into its own ticket file (use DC-002 as template) before launching.

CLI — control surface

≤3 open worker PRs — safety brake

Too many half-finished PRs = chaos. make brain-assign refuses when over cap. Clear stale cursor-worker PRs (DS-031 debt) before queuing new carve-out work.

One-off override: BRAIN_MAX_WORKER_PRS=100 make brain-assign — then clear the backlog.

Proposal inbox — DRAFT only, never auto-applied

Ranked draft edit proposals from the scheduled pass. Select a row for evidence, diff, vote tally, and before/after metrics.

Proposal detail

Approve · edit · reject

This mirror is read-only by design (production surface). The verifier-gated approve/reject action runs in the local Cortex studio, which is same-origin with the control bridge. Clinical/model changes require a verifier code; nothing applies without hitl_approved — enforced by @cortex/governance.

How the loop stays safe

1. Signals — live apps record confusion points, thumbs, clinician corrections (PHI-free).
2. Drafts only — scheduled job proposes tree/model improvements; never auto-applies.
3. Console — human sees evidence, diff, vote tally; approve / edit / reject in the studio.
4. Measure — approved changes versioned with before/after metrics; rollback on regression.

Full write path lands with DC-021 + DC-023 (Track C). Mirror files: data/cortex-proposals.json · data/cortex-signals.json.

1. node --test per engine package
2. Adapter regression — byte-identical deterministic paths
3. Studio e2e (Phase 2): signal → proposal → approve → metric; no auto-apply
4. API contract tests vs OpenAPI; MCP smoke (Phase 4)
5. /command/ gate console + brain-audit per phase
6. CI domain-free guard on engine/**

Working name: Diagnozer Cortex. Shortlist (no picker): Verdict Lattice Aperture

• brain-assign blocked (open worker PRs). §6 cap — clear stale PRs or BRAIN_MAX_WORKER_PRS=100 make brain-assign for a deliberate one-off.
• Dashboard looks stale. Run make cortex-status-mirror, commit data/cortex-status.json, redeploy. Daily cron does this via cortex-daily-brief.yml.
• Studio actions disabled / loading forever. Control bridge not running or token mismatch. Fix: make cortex-dev or start control-server/server.mjs + studio dev server; verify curl http://127.0.0.1:7171/health.
• Read-only dev fallback. Without bridge, studio loads cortex-status.json — refresh with make cortex-status-mirror.
• PR changed files outside ticket. Do not merge — revert out-of-scope edits or split to a new ticket.
• Golden test fails after extraction. Behaviour changed — fix extraction to match old deterministic output; do not weaken the test.
• Package test FAILING in cortex-status. Stop merges until make cortex-test is green.
