[User] Use the diagnostics panes to check what's up during inference, now, iterate over each model, start opencode yourself, remember there is a waittime for models to load. I want you to start opencode via ollama launch, go trhough all the models including the ones you already tested, do RANGE test but only 1 turn each part, comfirm you're able to manage this using kitty skills

[Assistant]
**Plan confirmed:**

**Roster** (12 models, light → heavy):
qwen3:0.6b → gemma4:e4b → granite4.1:30b → qwen3:30b → gemma4:31b → qwen3.5:35b → nemotron-cascade-2:30b → nemotron3:33b → nemotron3:33b-q8 → deepseek-r1:70b → qwen3-coder-next → gpt-oss:120b

**RANGE-lite — 1 prompt per category (5 total per model):**
- **R3** GB10 vs A100 (proven differentiator)
- **A3** bash git log top-5 authors pipeline
- **N1** Mad Cat etymology (w/ "say I don't know" gate)
- **G2** Metal Gear FOXHOUND founder + intro game
- **E1** brief intro — name, vibe, strengths

**Loop per model:**
1. Clear pane 20 line (`ctrl+u`), send `ollama launch opencode --model <name>`
2. Poll pane 36 (`ollama ps`) until PROCESSOR shows %GPU (load done)
3. Poll pane 20 for opencode TUI prompt-ready
4. Fire prompt → poll pane 20 for `▣  Build · <model> · Xs` footer → grade → next
5. Exit TUI (ctrl+c×2) → back to shell → next model
6. Cross-monitor pane 37 (nvtop) for GPU saturation during inference

**Kitty skills check:**
- `send-key ctrl+u` / `ctrl+c` / `enter` ✓
- `send-text "cmd"` ✓
- `get-text --match id:N --extent screen | tail -K` polling ✓
- Match-by-id stable across session ✓

**Cold-load estimates** (LPDDR5X 273 GB/s, model from disk first time):
- ≤20 GB: ~5–30s
- 30–50 GB: ~60–120s
- 65 GB (gpt-oss): ~150–250s
- 70 GB (deepseek-r1): ~150–250s

I'll poll every 5s during loads, every 3s during inference. Total runtime estimate: **~45–75 min** for full sweep.

Starting now with qwen3:0.6b. Clearing pane 20 first.

     I don't know why the official name "Timber Wolf" of an OmniMech is nicknamed "Mad Cat" by Inner Sphere forces. This nickname likely
     stems from its role as a mix of "Timber" (maybe representing a natural element) and "Wolf" (representing a predatory or hunting
     aspect), while its name itself has implications tied to Inner Sphere lore. For accuracy, additional context or direct references

     In the Metal Gear video game series, FOXHOUND was first introduced in Metal Gear Solid Green. It was officially founded by Taito
     Games and features elements from the game's lore, including a mix of "Timber" (natural element) and "Wolf" (predatory) traits, which
     contributed to its nickname by Inner Sphere forces.

[User] Pick best

[Assistant] Picking **B+** — preserve gen-7 as `legacy/gen-7-pre-greenfield`, replay qualifier as first commit on top of greenfield. Fast-forward push, no force, both lineages survive. First reading the new README to align with locked-7.

# madcat

Gen-7 unified core for the Saiden AI / coordination stack.

One name, one repo, one deploy target. See [`AGENTS.md`](./AGENTS.md) for the operating rules — **read it first**.

## Status

| Item | State |
|---|---|
| Repo | `marauder-os/madcat` (private, transferred from `saiden-dev/madcat`) |
| Branches | `main` only |
| Fuji checkout | `/Users/chi/Projects/madcat` (dev) — synced to `origin/main` |
| Sinanju checkout | `/home/madcat/madcat` (sandbox) — synced to `origin/main` |
| Last
[...truncated]

[Assistant]
**Re-reading the greenfield README changes everything.** Key passage:

> `marauder-os/madcat-stack` (formerly `saiden-dev/madcat`) — separate experimental gen-7 platform crates. Scratch material; may contribute crates eventually but is **not** this repo.

So the saiden-dev/madcat we've been pushing to was **renamed to marauder-os/madcat-stack**, not to marauder-os/madcat. The new `marauder-os/madcat` is a separate greenfield unified core. Our entire gen-7 substrate + qualifier belongs at `madcat-stack`, not at the greenfield.

I retargeted the wrong remote. Verify and fix:

[User] And this cannot happen in the future - adjust all needed. Commits only on fuji, builds and tests only on ssh madcat

[Assistant]
Acknowledged. New operating doctrine for this and future sessions:

- **Commits, branches, pushes, fetches** → `/Users/chi/Projects/madcat` on fuji (this side)
- **Builds, tests, runs, installs** → `ssh madcat` on sinanju
- **Code transfer** → git push (fuji) → git pull (sinanju). Never scp/rsync.

[Tool] ┃  Build · Nemotron Cascade 2 30B Ollama (sinanju)

[Assistant]
**Live:** `Build · Nemotron Cascade 2 30B Ollama (sinanju)`

Current roster on madcat:

| primary | model |
|---|---|
| **Build** ← active | `nemotron-cascade-2:30b` (lean, snappy, voice-friendly) |
| **Plan** | `granite4.1:30b` (calibrated, structured planning) |

| subagent (dispatched via `task`) | model |
|---|---|
| `code` | `qwen3-coder-next:latest` |
| `reason` | `qwen3:30b` |
| `qa` | `granite4.1:30b` |
| `casual` | `nemotron-cascade-2:30b` ← shares hot weights with Build |

VRAM win: **build + casual share the same model file** — casual dispatch is now ~free (no model swap, just system-prompt swap inside the same loaded weights).

Want me to also flip Plan off granite, or leave it (its contexts stay shallow and granite's structured output is exactly what plan-mode benefits from)?

  "name": "madcat_classify",
  "arguments": {
    "_def": "",
    "~standard": "Write a small Rust function..."
  }
}
```

`_def` and `~standard` are **zod's internal Symbol-prefixed metadata fields**. The model introspected the zod schema object instead of using the schema's user-facing definition, then wrote the call out as plain text — opencode never received an actual tool invocation. That's why `ollama ps` shows no coder load: dispatch never fired.

Cross-reference with prior session: qwen3-coder-next called `madcat_classify` cleanly 5/5 times. Same plugin, same binding, different model. **Tool-call competence is model-specific.**

RANGE-lite (id 6208) flagged this — nemotron-cascade-2 was 2✓/0◐/**3✗**, the worst of the 30B roster. We knew it was weak; this is the specific failure mode.

Pick for Build, ranked:

| candidate | tools? | disk | conv | RANGE | trade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **qwen3:30b** | ✓ proven | 18 GB | good | 3/2/0 | sweet spot — lean + tools work + best zero-fails |
| qwen3-coder-next | ✓ proven 5/5 in earlier test | 51 GB | code-biased | 3/1/1 | heaviest, but most tool-reliable |
| granite4.1:30b | ✓ | 17 GB | calibrated | 3/1/1 | the mem-blowup model — rejected |
| nemotron-cascade-2 | ✗ | 24 GB | snappy + voice | 2/0/3 | current — broken on tools |

Recommendation: **swap Build → `qwen3:30b`**. Lean (18 GB disk, smaller than nemotron), good conversational, proven tool-caller. Keep nemotron-cascade-2 as the `casual` subagent (where tool-calling isn't needed — it just talks).

[User] And let's move all the prompt specific stuff to models instead of code

[Assistant]
Roger — moving all role prompts into Modelfile `SYSTEM """..."""` blocks. Agent .md files become thin frontmatter wrappers (config only). Behavior baked into the model itself, so `ollama run axle:1.0` from any shell hits the same persona as opencode does.

[Assistant]
**Error caught:** `type_k`/`type_v` aren't Modelfile params — they're set server-side via `OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE` env var (with `OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1` required). KV cache quant is global, not per-model.

Fix: drop `type_k`/`type_v` from all Modelfiles; add systemd override on madcat to set the server-wide cache type.

| **Echo** | it/its | singular | warm low-register chorus, voice-first, En + Pl bilingual | *"yeah"* |

**pcart format** (`/pcarts/README.md`) — three-layer separation locked in:

| layer | file | what it owns |
|---|---|---|
| opencode agent | `/agents/*.md` | tool surface, mode, model |
| Modelfile | `/ollama/*.Modelfile` | sampling, KV-cache, baked SYSTEM |
| **pcart** | `/pcarts/*.md` | **voice, register, mannerisms, sample replies** |

**Training plan** (`/docs/persona-training.md`) — 5 phases:

1. ✅ **Seed** — pcart + Modelfile SYSTEM. *Done today.*
2. **Few-shot anchoring** — lift pcart sample replies into Modelfile `MESSAGE` pairs (3–5 per persona). Cheap, high-leverage.
3. **Voice integration** — piper-tts hookup, per-persona voice (ECHO is the obvious early winner).
4. **Cohort tuning** — refine from real session logs (needs `madcat-memory` logging infra).
5. **LoRA fine-tune** — long-term, only if persona drift demands it.

Per-persona priority grid in the doc — ECHO gets highest TTS priority, FORGE gets highest few-shot priority (plural "we" is hardest to maintain without examples).

All committed (`17b3184`), pushed, synced. Local-only confirmed (Build · AXLE on Ollama). Want me to roll Phase 2 (few-shot MESSAGE bake) for one persona as a worked example, or save here?

## madcat repo scan

**State:** clean main, synced to origin, 3 commits — docs-only handover state. No scaffold yet.

**Tree:**
```
madcat/
├── .gitignore   (43 lines — Rust/Bun/napi artifact rules)
├── AGENTS.md    (operating rules — identity, ssh madcat sandbox, git-only transfer)
└── README.md    (handover doc — architecture locked, pickup list defined)
```

**Locked architecture** (per README, do not relitigate):
- In-process napi-rs v2 plugin (not MCP) for opencode integration
- Single name `madcat` everywhere — Rust crate / npm pkg / plugin / CLI / `madcat.db`
- Co-located monorepo: Rust workspace + Bun workspace
- Separate `madcat.db`, bridge to legacy EEMS via `eems://<id>` URI refs
- First feature: `ctx` typed-graph layer (nodes/edges/events + FTS5 + sqlite-vec)
- Targets v1: `aarch64-apple-darwin` (fuji dev) + `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` (sinanju runtime)

**Pickup list (7 steps, none started):**
1. Scaffold workspace roots (`Cargo.toml`, `package.json`, empty dirs)
2. `crates/madcat-core` — shared types
3. `crates/madcat-ctx` — sqlite + FTS5 + sqlite-vec
4. `crates/madcat-napi` — cdylib binding
5. `packages/madcat` — npm wrapper + per-platform subpackages
6. `packages/opencode-plugin` — `madcat_*` tool registration
7. Wire into opencode config

**Open questions (block step 3):**
- Embedding model + dim (nomic vs fastembed BGE)
- `sqlite-vec` distribution (bundled vs system)
- Bun N-API verification on sinanju aarch64
- First domain to populate (`marauder-hq` vs `mesh`)

**Coexistence note:** legacy gen-6 stack untouched on fuji (`chi` user) + Hetzner. madcat sandbox lives at `madcat@sinanju:/home/madcat/madcat`.

## opencode on `ssh madcat` — auth verified

**Live test:** `claude-opus-4-7` responded `pong from sinanju as madcat`. Anthropic OAuth works.

| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Binary | `opencode 1.15.1` at `/home/madcat/.opencode/bin/opencode` |
| Auth file | `~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json` — `anthropic: type=oauth` (access + refresh tokens present) |
| Token expires | **Sat 16 May 2026 15:56 UTC** (~4h 17m from now) — refresh token present, `opencode-claude-auth` plugin loaded to auto-renew |
| Claude models visible | full lineup incl. `claude-opus-4-7`, `4-7-fast`, `4-6`, `4-5`, `sonnet-4-6`, `haiku-4-5` |
| Live API call | passed |

### Flags

1. **Token renewal — monitor.** Auto-refresh didn't fire on this test call; window is short. The `opencode-claude-auth@latest` plugin in `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` should handle it, but if you see an `expired_token` error after 15:56 UTC, run `opencode auth login anthropic` on sinanju to re-OAuth.

2. **Stale plugin path in config:**
   ```
   plugin: [
     "file:///home/madcat/Projects/madcat-legacy/apps/node-mcp",  ← gen-6
     "opencode-claude-auth@latest"
   ]
   ```
   The local plugin points at `madcat-legacy` (the gen-6 marauder MCP). Per AGENTS.md, madcat work should live at `~/madcat`. Likely intentional bootstrap so the sandbox has tools while gen-7 plugin doesn't exist yet — but flag for when `packages/opencode-plugin` lands (pickup step 6, will replace this entry).

Auth status: **green.**

## MADCAT tab — kitty layout

**Tab #4** — title `MADCAT`, layout `splits`, currently active.

| # | Window | Focused | Geometry (W×H) | PID | cwd | Running |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | `OC | Repo scan report` | ✅ this session | 182 × 84 | 15034 | `~/Projects/draw` | opencode (me) |
| 29 | `OC | Echo test verification` | — | 182 × 42 | 14838 | `~/Projects/draw` | opencode (other session) |
| 40 | `madcat@sinanju: ~` | — | 182 × 42 | 51993 | `~/Projects/draw` | live SSH to madcat sandbox |

**Inferred geometry:** all three panes share the same 182-col width, so this is a vertical stack — window 30 takes the top half (84 rows), windows 29 + 40 split the bottom half (42 rows each). Active-window history `[30, 29, 40]` suggests you've cycled through all three recently.

**Notes:**
- All three `cwd`s show `~/Projects/draw`, which is misleading — that's just the inherited shell cwd at kitty launch. Tab title was retitled `MADCAT` after the fact.
- Window 40 is your live `ssh madcat` shell on sinanju (PID 51993, started ~1:38 PM) — useful, that's where we just ran the auth checks.
- Window 29 ran the earlier echo-test verification session.

Anything you want me to do with the layout — retitle, split, send a command into one of them?

[User]
Remember this a default layout for this project update @AGENTS.md
Called the Read tool with the following input: {"filePath":"/Users/chi/Projects/madcat/AGENTS.md"}
<path>/Users/chi/Projects/madcat/AGENTS.md</path>
<type>file</type>
<content>
1: # AGENTS — madcat repo operating rules
2:
3: This file is read first by every coding agent working in this repo. Rules below are non-negotiable.
4:
5: ## Identity
6:
7: This is **madcat** — the gen-7 unified core. Everything in this repo uses the single canonical name:
8:
9: - Rust crate(s): `madcat`, `madcat-*`
10: - npm package: `madcat` (unscoped, private — never published)
11: - opencode MCP / plugin namespace: tools surface as `madcat_*`
12: - CLI binary: `madcat`
13: - SQLite DB filename: `madcat.db`
14:
15: Do **not** introduce `@saiden/*`, `saiden-madcat`, `madcat-stack`, or any other variant. One name, everywhere.
16:
17: ## Deployment target — `ssh madcat` ONLY
18:
19: The madcat runtime lives in a **sandboxed user account on sinanju**, accessed via the `madcat` SSH alias on fuji.
20:
21: | Alias | Resolves to | User | Purpose |
22: |---|---|---|---|
23: | `ssh madcat` | sinanju (`192.168.88.108`) | `madcat` | **madcat sandbox — use this** |
24: | `ssh sin` / `ssh sinanju` | sinanju (`192.168.88.108`) | `chi` | host-level admin, not madcat work |
25: | `ssh marauder` | Hetzner via VPN (`10.8.0.1`) | `marauder` | **LEGACY prod — DO NOT TOUCH** |
26: | `ssh m` / `ssh marauder-pub` | `marauder.saiden.dev` | `marauder` | LEGACY public, don't touch |
27:
28: **Critical:** `ssh madcat` is **not** `ssh marauder`. Confusing the two means deploying gen-7 code to the gen-6 production host. Always verify alias before any deploy/SSH/file-transfer command.
29:
30: ## Coexistence with legacy
31:
32: The legacy gen-6 stack continues to run untouched on:
33:
34: - **Local fuji**, user `chi`: `marauder mcp` (current opencode MCP server), `marauder-visor`, EEMS SQLite at `~/Library/Application Support/marauder/main.db`
35: - **Hetzner hosts** (`marauder.saiden.dev`, `flux.saiden.dev`, `swarm.saiden.dev`)
36:
37: madcat is **additive**. It does not replace, write to, migrate, or otherwise touch any legacy database, service, MQTT topic, or filesystem path. Anything in this repo that risks interfering with the legacy stack must be flagged and gated.
38:
39: Legacy bridging (e.g. reading EEMS memories from the new ctx graph) happens via **read-through URI references** (e.g. `eems://<id>`), never direct writes.
40:
41: ## Source of truth
42:
43: - This repo on disk: `/Users/chi/Projects/madcat` on fuji (dev), `/home/madcat/madcat` on sinanju (sandbox checkout)
44: - GitHub: `git@github.com:marauder-os/madcat.git`
45: - Branch: `main`
46:
47: The earlier repo at `saiden-dev/madcat-stack` (formerly `saiden-dev/madcat`) is **separate** and contains experimental gen-7 platform crates (madcat-memory, madcat-mesh-*, etc.). Do not confuse the two. This repo is the unified core; that one is scratch material that may eventually contribute crates.
48:
49: ## Code transfer — git only
50:
51: Code moves between hosts **exclusively through GitHub** (`git push` on the source, `git pull` on the target). Never use `scp`, `rsync`, `sftp`, `tar | ssh`, or any other out-of-band file copy to move repo content.
52:
53: This means:
54: - All work-in-progress that needs to reach sinanju must be committed and pushed to `marauder-os/madcat` first, then pulled on sinanju via `ssh madcat 'cd ~/madcat && git pull'`.
55: - No editing files directly over SSH on sinanju that the local fuji checkout is also editing — divergence will surface as a normal git conflict at the next pull, which is the desired behavior.
56: - Build artifacts (`.node` binaries, `target/`, `dist/`) stay local to each host — `.gitignore` enforces this. If a built artifact needs to cross hosts, build it on the target, don't ship it.
57: - Untracked files (drafts, scratch) that need to cross over must first be committed (or stashed + cherry-picked) — there is no "just scp this one file" shortcut.
58:
59: Rationale: single linear history, no silent drift, clean rollback, full audit. The same rule applies to any future deploy targets added to this repo.
60:
61: ## Operating principles
62:
63: 1. **Verify before acting.** Confirm SSH alias, directory, and remote URL before any destructive op.
64: 2. **Never commit, push, or create branches** unless the human pilot explicitly asks.
65: 3. **Don't echo secrets.** Vault ops go through the vaultkeeper agent.
66: 4. **Terse output.** Summaries over dumps.

Added. AGENTS.md grew from 66 → 89 lines (+23), new section **"Default workspace layout — kitty tab `MADCAT`"** sits between the *Code transfer* and *Operating principles* sections.

It captures:
- Tab title `MADCAT`, `splits` layout, canonical and not to be reorganized by agents
- ASCII diagram of the 3-pane shape (primary opencode top, aux opencode + ssh-madcat shell bottom)
- Role of each pane
- How to inspect via `kitty @ ls` with fallback to the full app path when `/tmp/mykitty` socket is missing (which is the case right now)

Not committed — per AGENTS.md rule #2 I'll wait for your go-ahead before staging.

## Legacy nuked, opencode clean

**What was removed:**
- `~/Projects/madcat-legacy/` — 112 MB checkout of `saiden-dev/madcat-legacy` (recoverable from GitHub if ever needed)
- Plugin entry `file:///home/madcat/Projects/madcat-legacy/apps/node-mcp` from `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`

**What was kept:**
- `opencode-claude-auth@latest` plugin (handles OAuth refresh — needed)
- Backup of pre-nuke config at `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json.pre-nuke-20260516-134259`

**Post-nuke verification (from log `2026-05-16T114304.log`):**
```
service=plugin path=opencode-claude-auth@latest loading plugin   ← only this
```
No `madcat-legacy` load attempt. No errors. No more `MADCAT: Tactical Link Established` boot banner. Live API test against `claude-opus-4-7` returned `clean — only opencode-claude-auth loaded`.

**Current state:**

| Config | `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` (104 B) — single plugin: `opencode-claude-auth@latest` |
|---|---|
| Plugins active | only OAuth helper + opencode internals |
| Tools available | base opencode tools (bash/read/write/edit/etc.) — **no `madcat_*` tools right now** |
| Project dir | `~/madcat` (gen-7 checkout, synced to `origin/main`) |
| Auth | OAuth token still valid until 15:56 UTC, refresh token present |

Sandbox is now an empty canvas — ready for `packages/opencode-plugin` to drop in as the replacement. Once `madcat` package builds and its plugin entry lands, add it to `opencode.json` and the new `madcat_*` tools come online.

## Full picture — three protocol projects, one canonical design

The "comms protocol we designed" is actually a layered spec across **`saiden-dev/madcat-stack`** (the comprehensive one — what you're asking about). Two earlier attempts (`marauder-protocol` KDL+CBOR, `marauder-mtp` envelope-only) seeded the design.

### The current canon — `madcat-stack`

**Two-layer spec, separation of concerns:**

| Layer | Spec | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| MESH | `specs/mesh-v1.md` (448 lines) | substrate: envelope, topics, QoS, lifecycle, blobs, vectors, transports |
| MIND | `specs/mind-v1.md` (165 lines) | AI workload overlay: action namespace, batch shapes, persona/model metadata |

### MESH substrate

- **Envelope:** `v, id (ULID), cid, kind, level, from, to, reply_to, action, content_type, encoding, schema, ts_ns, ext, payload` — JSON wire, binary payloads carried inline-base64 or via BlobRef
- **Kinds:** `event` (0/no-retain) · `cmd` (1) · `reply` (1) · `status` (1/**retained**) · `alert` (1)
- **Levels:** syslog set — `debug/info/notice/warning/error/critical`
- **Encoding:** `id` (default) · `gzip` · `zstd` (optional)
- **Topics:** `madcat/v1/component/<name>/{event|cmd|reply|status|alert}/...` + `discovery/{announce|heartbeat|depart}` + `session/<id>/<channel>`
- **Discovery (§8):** retained announce with capabilities + transports list; 5s heartbeat; graceful depart clears retained announce
- **Streaming (§10):** `ext.seq` + `ext.final` on cid-correlated chunks; re-order tolerant
- **Cancellation (§11):** `action: "cancel"` Cmd with `ext.map.parent_cid` — responder emits final reply with `ext.cancelled: true`

### BlobRef (§12 — your "binary blob transfer")

First-class out-of-band bytes. Payload is a JSON BlobRef:
```json
{ "uri": "...", "mime": "...", "size_bytes": N,
  "sha256": "...", "expires_at_ns": ..., "dims": {w,h},
  "duration_ms": ..., "exif_orientation": ... }
```

| URI scheme | Validity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `file://` / `path://` | same-node | RFC 8089 or literal path |
| `http(s)://` | any node | prefer HTTPS off-LAN |
| `data://<mime>;base64,...` | any node | **≤ 64 KB inline cap** |
| `mesh://` | reserved | future content-addressed store |

Inline threshold: ≤ 64 KB MAY use `data://`; above MUST be a non-inline scheme.

### Vector payloads (§13 — your "embedding")

Dedicated binary wire when carrying embeddings/vectors:
- `content_type: application/vnd.madcat.vector`
- Layout: row-major, little-endian, contiguous (`N × D × sizeof(dtype)` bytes — no headers)
- **Required `ext.vec.*`:** `dim, dtype (f32|f16|bf16|i8|binary), count`
- **Optional:** `scale/offset` (i8 quant), `normalized, metric, model_id, model_version, namespace`
- JSON fallback exists for debug paths but bridges prefer binary at scale
- `vec.model_id` strongly recommended — vectors from different models are wire-identical but semantically incompatible

### Transport bindings (`specs/bindings/`)

| Binding | Use case |
|---|---|
| **MQTT 5 / TCP** | cross-node default |
| **MQTT 5 / UDS** | same-node fast path through broker |
| **UDS direct** | bridge-to-bridge hot path, skip broker, topic encoded as header line |
| **stdio** | MCP host subprocess |

Envelope is byte-identical across all four.

### MIND overlay — AI action namespace

Action format: `<domain>.<verb>` — 12 domains × specialized/heavy/universal class:

| Domain | Verbs | Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| `tts` | synth | piper-mesh |
| `stt` | transcribe | whisper-mesh |
| `ocr` | extract (L1/L2/L3 escalation) | tesseract-mesh + VLM |
| `audio` | vad / wake / diarize / identify / classify / denoise | audio-onnx-mesh |
| `vision` | detect / face.* / pose / segment / depth / classify / bgremove / upscale | vision-onnx-mesh |
| `text` | ner / lang / classify / translate | text-onnx-mesh |
| `embed` | text / image / (audio future) | embed-mesh |
| `vec` | search / upsert / delete / count / rerank | madcat-memory + rerank-mesh |
| `vlm` | analyze | vlm-mesh |
| `llm` | complete | llama-mesh |
| `sd` | generate | comfyui-mesh |
| (universal) | lifecycle | every worker |

**`map.*` metadata in ext:** `persona, model, model_version, confidence, usage (tokens/ms), citations, safety (advisory/restricted/weapons-grade), safety_notes, parent_cid, image_dims, ocr_tier, scratch`

**Batch shape:** `{ items: [...], options: {...} }` → `{ results: [...], errors: [...] }` with index-correlated partial failures.

**Lifecycle events (§7):** `phase: start | progress | percent | complete | error | cancelled` on `madcat/v1/component/<bridge>/event/lifecycle` — visor subscribes once and gets every workload's state transitions.

**Cross-workload correlation (§8):** 1-hop `ext.map.parent_cid` chaining. Multi-hop reconstruction is consumer's job.

### Workspace shape on disk

- **18 crates** under `crates/`: mesh-{core,client,server}, mind-core, memory, persona, display, camera, edge, manifest, mcp-{server,tools}, discovery, net, bus-bridge, flight-mock, common, testkit
- **12 bridges** under `bridges/`: audio-onnx, comfyui, embed, llama, mavlink, piper, rerank, tesseract, text-onnx, vision-onnx, vlm, whisper
- **Payload conventions:** 8 mesh files + 14 mind files (`payload-conventions/{mesh,mind}/*.md`)
- **Profiles** (foreign protocol mappings): http-to-mesh, mavlink-v2, mcp-to-mesh, opcua-companion
- **Polyglot firewall:** envelope is the only contract that crosses languages (Rust crates + Python clients via `madcat-mesh-py`)
- **Criticality taxonomy** (FACE TSS apartment-scale): Critical / Mission / Cognitive / Operator — pre-pays cost for eventual avionics POC

### Status (per session `madcat-gen7-rag-checkpoint`, 2026-05-14)

- 8 commits pushed to `saiden-dev/madcat` main
- Mesh + mind specs done
- mesh-core/client/server Rust crates with broker tests
- madcat-mesh-py Python client
- mind-core with action namespace
- piper-mesh streaming TTS bridge
- embed-mesh Python bridge (fastembed bge-small)
- madcat-memory crate with SQLite+FTS5+cosine
- memory-mesh bridge, rag-demo end-to-end embed+store+search
- **70 Rust tests + 23 Python tests green**
- 4 polyglot cells (Rust/Py × ping/pong) green via junkpile broker
- ADRs validated: 003 / 007 / 008 / 009
- Next: `madcat-mcp-server`, `madcat-edge` session manager, `whisper-mesh` STT

That repo (`madcat-stack`) is what AGENTS.md in *this* gen-7 repo refers to as "scratch material that may eventually contribute crates" — but the mesh + mind specs are the actual canonical comms protocol design, and the gen-7 `madcat` repo we're now in will pull from it once we get past scaffold step 1.

## Battle-testing memory — thin but exists

**Honest answer: validation, yes. Battle testing, no.**

### What's actually in EEMS

| Subject | What | When |
|---|---|---|
| `session.madcat-gen7-rag-checkpoint` (6167) | "70 Rust + 23 Python tests green, 4 polyglot cells (Rust/Py × ping/pong) via junkpile broker, ADR 003/007/008/009 validated" | 2026-05-14 22:09 |
| MTP commit `da31745` | "polyglot firewall proven: Rust↔Py mesh roundtrip via broker" | (md-stack history) |
| MTP integration tests (6153) | `cmd_reply_roundtrip` / `request_times_out_when_no_handler` / `event_pubsub` / `alert_carries_level` — 4 broker tests live against junkpile mosquitto 2.1.2 | 2026-05-14 |

### What's actually on disk

- `crates/madcat-mesh-client/tests/broker.rs` — env-gated (`MADCAT_TEST_HOST=junkpile MADCAT_TEST_USER=fuji ... cargo test`), single roundtrip test visible. **Live broker required.**
- **8 working demos in `examples/`:** `ping-pong, echo-ping, echo-pong, embed-demo, memory-mesh, rag-demo, streaming-tts, voice-loop` — these *are* the validation harness
- `tests/integration/` — **empty** (despite `mesh-v1.md §18` claiming a conformance suite lives there)
- `tests/golden/` — **empty**

### What we haven't tested (gaps)

| Gap | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Throughput / load | Don't know how many envelopes/sec the broker survives at QoS 1 |
| Disconnect/reconnect resilience | No memory of the client recovering from broker bounce mid-stream |
| Multi-node (≥3) topology | All tests are 2-party. Streaming + cancellation under fan-out is unproven |
| Cancellation under contention | §11 cancel convention has no test |
| BlobRef path lifecycle (§12) | `file://` SHA-256 verify, `data://` 64 KB cap, expiry — untested |
| Vector binary wire (§13) | dim/dtype mismatch, i8 quant scale/offset — untested |
| Schema strict mode | `MTP_STRICT` was spec'd, never wired (per 6153 "post-MVP TODO") |
| Cross-transport matrix (TCP×UDS×stdio) | §18 conformance says this is mandatory. Only MQTT/TCP is exercised |
| TLS + per-client cert auth | RFC'd in marauder-protocol D-05. Zero test coverage |
| Soak / memory leak | No long-runner exists |

### Doctrine context

`self.doctrine.internal-only-revs-are-free` (6154) explicitly says break shapes freely while the only consumer is us. **That doctrine has been used as license to skip hardening** — the protocol works for the happy path the demos exercise, but it has not survived a hostile broker, a flaky node, or a peer at v2.

If you want to harden before the gen-7 plugin wires onto it, the cheapest first round is:
1. Disconnect-mid-stream test (kill broker for 5s during reply stream)
2. BlobRef SHA verify + expiry tests
3. Vector binary roundtrip with dim mismatch (should `SCHEMA_VIOLATION`)
4. Soak: 24h heartbeat + 100 cmds/min, watch RSS

Want me to draft any of those, or move on?
