What this PR ships

The SPEC for the multi-language translation layer.
docs/architecture/mirror-integration-spec-v0.1.md — typed contract;
the Go adapter package described herein is the forward-promised next
tick (PR-B).

Why it lands now

Solves the MVP work in flight via substrate-pull-correct typing:

  • Caching → mirror's content-addressed oid keying (splinter.content: oid)
  • Binary stash for Dockerfilesspectral_coordinate reverse-DNS wire addressing
  • Multi-language reach without scope-creep@cascade family-root
    (recognition #95 candidate); Purescript→npm as Stage-1 instance;
    JVM/F#/Gleam/etc as additive species shards post-MVP

The "math, not vibes" delivery

§16 names the typed surface for loss measurement:
loss_lens<source_grammar, target_grammar> parametric carrier;
measure(source, artifact, lens) -> imperfect<artifact, error, information_loss>
substrate-typed measurement. Loss as composite of @epistemologic/properties
per established discipline — not Shannon, not invented.

Substrate-decl ratified at v0.1; per-cascade computation discharged
at species altitude (forward-promised).

Architecture references (mirror side, landed)

  • shards/cascade.mirror@cascade family-root (recognition #95 candidate)
  • docs/research/2026-06-23-typed-alternatives-cascade-survey.md — 10-stack survey
  • docs/specs/recognitions/recognition-93-cogito-cognitive-substrate-candidate.md — H4 `labeled<>` functor primitive (forward-promised at `shards/labeled.mirror`)

Pack-discipline cycle (provenance)

Same-day cascade: @cascade substrate-decl (Reed) → typed-alternatives
survey (Mara) → spec broadening (Mara) → Seam adversarial review
(BOUNDED-with-revisions) → Reed consolidation (5 TIGHT + 2 META applied).

Honest hedges (surfaced explicitly in spec)

  • This PR is the spec only; Go adapter package is PR-B forward-promised
  • `labeled<>` functor primitive forward-promised at `shards/labeled.mirror`
  • `@mirror/store` realisation forward-promised (mirror task #268)
  • Per-cascade loss computation forward-promised at species shards
  • Stage-2 candidates (ReScript, Gleam, F#) pending Pack-peer verification
  • Survey universality is N=10; counterexamples honestly named (Crystal/Ruby, Hack/PHP, Oil/Nushell)

…spec-v0.1.md — canonical spec for @io/stagefreight contract implementation

Cross-repo cascade tick — continues from mirror PR PrPlanIT#1 (the StageFreight
substrate-decl preservation PR that merged 2026-06-22 with @io/stagefreight
family-root, /narrative species, Mara's canonical wire spec, Seam
adversarial review, and release notes).

This is the consumer-side substrate-decl preservation spec for the
StageFreight Go repository: the typed contract mirror's @io/stagefreight
declares, translated into Go type shapes + validation predicates as a
thin adapter package (forward-promised: internal/stagefreightmirror/).

Substrate-pull-correct discipline:
- §1 recognition + multi-repo span made operational
- §2 carrier-by-carrier and predicate-by-predicate mirror → Go translation
- §3 package layout under existing StageFreight boundary discipline
- §4 address derivation (reverse-DNS + projection-kind + OID-short)
- §5 narrative projection (v0.1 hedge on crystal task #268)
- §6 CI integration (no .gitlab-ci.yml changes at v0.1)
- §7 falsification criteria with honest hedges
- §8 what this PR does NOT do (5 explicit exclusions)
- §9 forward-promises after this spec (6 steps)
- §10 pre-AI prior art (Go service patterns; gRPC; IPFS; Cap'n Proto;
       reverse-DNS Java/Apple/DBus; StageFreight's own substrate)
- §11 PR shape (title, branch, diff estimate, forward-promise template)
- §12 acknowledgments

Honest hedges throughout:
- Magic contract/invariant opaque at v0.1 (cross-family bilateral
  forward-promised on Rust realisation)
- Crystal record floor-only at v0.1 (typed-record fields gated on
  task #268)
- Cross-projection consistency falsification gated on sibling species
- Bytes-on-wire transport forward-promised (Phase 1 + Phase 4b gates)

This PR ships only the spec. Implementation (Go package skeleton) and
realisation (mirror Rust side) are explicitly subsequent ticks.
…spec-v0.1.md — Seam C(b)+C(f)+C(i) closures

Restores the cross-family @magic bilateral seam dropped from v1:

- §2.5 StagefreightAddressable: adds fifth sub-predicate
  invariant_preserved to the composition chain, threading opaque
  Contract/Promise through Env. Structural seam preserved.
- §2.6 Freight: restores `requires invariant_preserved(c, promise)`
  in the composition order, with composed-bilateral discharge sketch.
  Names the cross-family bilateral as BOUNDED-by-default at v0.1
  pending Rust realisation.
- §3.1 magic.go: opaque struct shape with unexported `_marker` field
  (Seam's recommendation); typed but unconstructible until realisation.
  InvariantPreserved no-op stub returns BOUNDED.
- §3.1.2 env.go: forward-promise note pinning StoreView →
  @mirror/store and ProjectionRegistry → @io/stagefreight/<species>
  registry, closing C(f).
- §11.6.1: explicit hedge — consumer-side deferral of the cross-family
  bilateral is FORWARD-PROMISED, not RATIFIED. Both ratification paths
  (full deferral / substantive validation) are honored by the v0.1
  structure.
- §11.4 PR template: adds forward-promises 6 (substantive @magic
  discharge) and 7 (concrete interface methods) for downstream
  traceability.

Closes Seam C(b), C(f), C(i) (all TIGHT mild). DEFENSIVE → BOUNDED.
…ves author's caching pain

Five additive sections (§13-§17) lift the spec from substrate-decl
preservation to MVP-shaped intervention. The cascade is the structural
move: Purescript → typed-JS → npm-installable artifact → arbitrary
downstream npm consumers — one runtime substrate-decl, broad consumer
reach, no JS type-soup. JVM/NPM/Python are post-MVP by construction
(§14.4 + §14.5); the scope-creep gravity gets a substrate-pull-correct
boundary defense.

§13 maps the author's MVP-in-flight to mirror primitives explicitly:
content-addressed cache IS `splinter.content: oid` (shards/glass.mirror
line 222); binary-stash-for-Dockerfile-targeting IS `shard.id:
uuid_spectral` + `spectral_coordinate` (line 347 + §4). The Dockerfile
FROM-by-spectral_coordinate pattern is concrete. Frame: accelerator of
work-already-happening, not new integration burden.

§14 draws the MVP boundary. Stage-1 in-scope: native binaries +
content-addressed cache + Dockerfile FROM-by-oid + Purescript runtime
+ npm consumer cascade. Three substrate-pull reasons for Purescript-
first: (1) functor/monad/applicative composes with the parametric
algebra recognition #51 named; (2) pure functional aligns with
substrate-pull-correctness; (3) compiles to JS without inheriting JS
type-soup. The cascade dissolves the "we need npm support" pull
without committing to raw NPM substrate-decl.

§15 names the cascade substrate-decl shape: `purescript_source`,
`purescript_module`, `npm_artifact = labeled<purescript_module>` (per
recognition #93 H4 — substrate already supports parametric carriers
via shift(T)/settle(T) per boot/00-prism.mirror; labeled<v, m> =
annotated(v, m) composes immediately). Three actions (compile, bundle,
resolve); one composed bilateral (cascade_well_formed) discharging
purescript_well_typed AND npm_consumable. Four honest hedges
including spago/pulp output-shape difference, module-path-to-oid
canonicalization, Dockerfile FROM multi-file payload, and FFI purity
boundary.

§16 forward-promises a concrete demonstration artifact at
`examples/purescript-cascade/`: minimal Purescript module + spago
build + mirror cache hit + npm package consuming the typed-JS output.
PR-A may ship the skeleton; the working example may land as PR-B
once Purescript shards land mirror-side.

§17 names the bang: one PR closes the loop on caching, on typed
runtimes, on consumer reach, and on the scope-creep gravity — the
convergence IS the load-bearing move.

…ily-root; Purescript as Stage-1 instance

This is the third Mara enhancement of mirror-integration-spec-v0.1.md
on this branch. Mara-1 (commit 092d73a) treated Purescript→npm as THE
substrate; Mara-2 surveyed ten typed-alternative stacks at the mirror
side. Today's framing shift on the StageFreight PR: the substrate IS
the multi-language cascade architecture; Purescript→npm is the
Stage-1 INSTANCE of that architecture.

Substrate ground: the @cascade family-root landed mirror-side at
shards/cascade.mirror (recognition #95 candidate, 2026-06-23). It
declares the parametric `cascade<source_grammar, target_grammar>`
primitive with `compile`, `measure`, `cascade` actions, the
`loss_lens` carrier, and the `cascade_well_defined` composed
bilateral. This is the architecture; future cascades are additive
species shards.

Framing shifts applied (Mara-1's hard work preserved, broadened):

- §14 heading: from "Purescript cascade in-scope, other runtimes
  post-MVP" → "multi-language cascade architecture in-scope;
  Purescript→npm as Stage-1 instance"
- §14.1: broadened to name the @cascade family-root as the
  architecture (item 4) and Purescript→npm as the Stage-1 species
  instance (item 5); references Mara's survey
- §14.4: rewritten to frame post-MVP cascades as species shards
  (not architectural changes); per-grammar-pair rationale
- §15 heading + intro: rewritten to reference the LANDED
  shards/cascade.mirror as substrate; Purescript→npm body retained
  as species discharge

New sections added (the "math, not vibes" delivery and the species
roadmap):

- §16 NEW "Mathematical formalization: loss as substrate primitive"
  — 5 concrete pieces: loss_lens as measurement instrument;
  compilation as functor with loss = dimension reduction (per
  recognition #51); measure() returning imperfect<>; loss as
  composite of @epistemologic/properties (per Alex's standing
  feedback); per-program loss as substrate-typed data; connection
  to @kintsugi (which heals what cascade measures). Honest hedge:
  per-cascade discharge is at species-altitude.

- §17 NEW "Cascade species roadmap" — Stage-1 table (Purescript→npm
  IN this PR); Stage-2 candidates table (ReScript→npm, Gleam→BEAM+JS
  dual, F#→NuGet from Mara survey top 3); Stage-3+ list; three
  honestly-named counterexamples (Crystal/Ruby, Hack/PHP, Oil/Nushell);
  degenerate sub-pattern (language-internal strictness)

- §18 (was §16), §19 (was §17): renumbered; §19 broadened from 4 → 5
  convergence points (added the mathematical formalization)

Also fixed per Alex's direction (item 1 of "fix as you see fit"):

- Sign-off inconsistency: removed §12's "Mara, 2026-06-22" sign-off;
  consolidated to single 2026-06-23 footer at end of doc; §12 now
  carries a pointer note

Honest hedges self-named:
- The architecture is mathematical; per-cascade realisation (the
  Purescript ↔ JS loss number bit-for-bit) is incremental and
  forward-promised at the species shard
- The labeled<> functor primitive that loss_lens<> rests on is
  forward-promised at shards/labeled.mirror (per #93 H4 PARTIAL)
- Mara-2's survey is N=10; the cascade architecture's universality
  beyond surveyed instances is conjectural

Branch unchanged: still mara/stagefreight-mirror-integration-spec-v0.1.
DO NOT push; awaiting Seam adversarial review per Reed's process.

…T + 2 META framing tightenings

Seam adversarial review of Mara-3's broadening (c909957) returned
BOUNDED-with-revisions: substance sound, framing risks raising author
expectation higher than what PR-A ships. 5 TIGHT (load-bearing surface
revisions) + 2 META (recommended provenance/honesty additions). All
applied per Seam's specific recommendations.

REVISIONS APPLIED:

1. §1.2 (TIGHT) — explicit "this PR lands the SPEC; Go adapter is PR-B
   forward-promised next tick." Distinguishes contract from
   implementation at the framing altitude.

2. §13.4 NEW (TIGHT) — "What works today vs what's forward-promised"
   subsection with table. Marks Dockerfile example as forward-promised
   pattern, not currently executable. Author can structure MVP caching
   against the typed shape now; live shim follows.

3. §15.1 (TIGHT) — explicit forward-promise note on labeled<> functor
   per #93 H4 PARTIAL. Substrate-pull-honest about cascade-tick order
   (shards/labeled.mirror lands before Purescript species shard
   discharges npm_artifact as load-bearing).

4. §16 (TIGHT) — pulled closing hedge to OPENING as framing note.
   "Math, not vibes" section now opens with substrate-pull-honest
   framing (names where math LIVES vs what this spec carries) before
   the five concrete pieces. Closes Seam's "math is framed-vocabulary-
   not-discharged" probe.

5. §19 (TIGHT) — explicit "what ships in PR-A is the SPEC naming all
   five; implementations are forward-promised tail" before the
   convergence list. Defuses §19 reading as "five things ship now."

6. §12 (META) — added session provenance acknowledgment: the cascade
   architecture (§§14-§19) was developed same-day 2026-06-23 via Pack-
   discipline cascade (@cascade substrate-decl, typed-alternatives
   survey, broadening, this Seam-driven consolidation). Provenance
   honesty per Seam C10.

7. §17.2 (META) — footnote that Stage-2 candidates pending Pack-peer
   verification per survey §5.1. Architecture admits them; roadmap
   commitment requires verification beyond Mara N=1-per-stack.

Pack-discipline closure trail:
  84f780b → Mara-original canonical spec
  092d73a → Mara-1 Purescript cascade enhancement
  c909957 → Mara-3 multi-language broaden + math formalization
  [this]  → Reed consolidation of Seam BOUNDED findings

Branch ready for push to StageFreight origin per Alex 2026-06-23
hedge PrPlanIT#1 resolution ("We stay Pack. Instructions are for AI agents
that work with the author of the library; Alex isn't the library
author").
