v0.8 + v0.9 — intimate-architecture absorbed, driver-tier locked,

Browse Source 
style-spine created, DESING retired, schemas relocated

  The owl-breakfast architectural arc from 2026-04-25 night through
  2026-04-26 morning. Two version-bumps landing as one commit because
  they share the working-tree state and complete a coherent design-window.

  v0.8 — intimate-architecture, driver-tier lock, style-spine:

    * Three-tier intimacy structure (standard-rental, premium-waifu-
      with-traitor-marker-and-pruning, in-between clasp) — same v0.7
      machinery, opposite value-flows. Premium-net technical excellence
      makes the moral-weight-of-pruning land as informed-consent ethics.

    * Deletion-as-spectacle: in-net minds as pure compute; imperial
      broadcasts execution-as-content; Memorialist counter-archive as
      in-fiction protest against deletion-spectacle commerce.

    * EVE-principle vocation-substrate of the imperial-net market: every
      product produced by NPC labor; no silent feeding; body-modder
      structural-tragedy generalizes to all imperial-net-feeding vocations.
      World-gen Phase-2 ruleset must handle vocation-distribution.

    * Clasp endgame (Phase A-E): mini-game entry → body-mod progression
      → exit-chassis → human-mesh-visible-to-pair → clasp = two-bodies-
      two-meshes → dual-body-dual-mind-dual-shift cascade → automatic
      hunt-pressure. Identity-as-trait-emergent made felt rather than
      just structural.

    * waifu.sqlite as third local store (audited counterpart to
      clasp.sqlite; manual-prune mechanism with explicit-implications
      consent UI as moral-gravity discipline).

    * Intimacy-as-recursive-lemniscate: same machinery as dialog
      (slot-tokens, cursor at axis-crossing, alignment-accumulator,
      sum-strategy reduction); sex-positions as designer-fixed catalog
      entries; body-parts as visible expression of trait-state.
      Cross-context-consistency operationalized.

    * Driver-tier locked to Gemma 4 E4B (Apache 2.0, 4.5B effective,
      128K context, speech-capable) under new "tier-by-role binary-
      deferred" discipline: locking requires prototype-criticality +
      irreplaceable license/capability combination. Optional Ring-A
      upgrade: 26B-A4B MoE for upper-consumer GPUs, single-LoRA-on-
      routed-experts. Resolves 4 prior open questions (LoRA-blend →
      single-LoRA-per-turn-selection driven by gesture_alignment_
      accumulator; LoRA rank → benchmark-resolvable; sampling-knobs →
      benchmark-resolvable; 8 Hellenic trait enumeration → canonical
      wheel-mapping in style/trait-palette.md).

    * style/ directory introduced: style-index.md (skeleton + spine-
      rule: "trait-palette is exclusively chromatic; achromatic
      reserved for UI/environment so diegetic text rendering can skip
      the textbox") + style/trait-palette.md (canonical 8 traits as 4
      oppositional pairs at 180° on the artist's color wheel:
      Eros↔Sophrosyne, Philotes↔Dikaiosyne, Aletheia↔Moira,
      Mnemosyne↔Kairos. Schoolchild-simple descriptions paired with
      each Greek canonical name).

  v0.9 — directory cleanup completing the arc:

    * DESING-VISION.md (1899 lines, v0.1 first-pass narrative-design
      doc) retired — most content absorbed across v0.4-v0.8; bare-
      minimum extracts (Tonal Register + Tragic-Romantic Register +
      Authorial Politics + Reference Lineage table) now live in README
      so the project's identity anchor stays visible at the entry
      point. Full DESING-VISION content preserved in git history.

    * findings.md moved to schemas/findings.md — new top-level peer to
      architecture-index.md and style/. ~20 tables of DDL drafts as
      reference material; will get reviewed and progressively split
      per-domain as implementation begins.

    * Cross-references swept across 5 files (README,
      architecture-index, authority-and-decision, runtime-engine,
      style/trait-palette).

    * architecture-index.md trimmed: version-footer paragraphs removed
      per "git-is-changelog" discipline. From 374 → 287 lines; every
      remaining line load-bearing.

  The architecture is now organized for the implementation territory
  ahead. Each domain a typed-contract surface; cross-references
  explicit; filesystem mirrors the architecture's own typed-contract
  discipline at the directory layer.

### Cross-context application — intimacy as recursive-lemniscate
The recursive-lemniscate gesture-alignment machinery (above) is **modality-agnostic**. v0.7 named it as the player-input-dialog substrate; v0.8 makes explicit that the same primitive runs *every* context where two trait-coordinated participants drive sequenced gameplay through the gesture-circle and lemniscate-cursor. **Intimate-gameplay is the second major application** (the first being NPC-dialog).
**The intimate-gameplay loop running on the lemniscate substrate:**
| Lemniscate primitive | Intimate-gameplay application |
|---|---|
| **Slot-tokens** | The clasp-pair (or premium-waifu-pair) — two participants in the loop |
| **Cursor at axis-crossing** | Whose action / position-change is currently active |
| **Gesture-alignment-accumulator** (per slot) | Each participant's trait-coordinated input across the turn-window — sex-positions, gestures, body-part-engagements |
| **Sum-strategy reduction at crossing** | Per-axis integrated trait-vector summary — how aligned are the pair right now |
| **Trait-vector summary fed into next driver-context-pull** | NPC-partner's next dialog turn fires in the alignment-determined trait-LoRA register |
| **Phase-locked overlay channels** | Body-shader-pulse feedback, color-merge during deep alignment, environmental shader-shift |
| **Hardstops** | Definitive intimate signals — `clasp_initiate`, `pause_with_tenderness`, `withdraw_gracefully`, `safe_word_invoke`, `consent_revoke`. These fire definitive subsystem-actions (cannot be remapped) |
**Sex-positions as designer-fixed catalog entries.** Same discipline as the dialog-corpus — every position has a designer-authored trait-coordinate (or primary + secondary trait-coordinate composition). The universal-translator's catalog extends to physical-act vocabulary. Examples:
- *missionary* → Philotes (bond) + Sophrosyne (restraint)
- *embracing-with-eye-contact* → Philotes (bond) + Aletheia (truth-seeing)
- *dominance-position* → Eros (reaching) + Dikaiosyne (bearing)
- *slow-remembering* → Mnemosyne (memory) + Philotes (bond)
- *desperate-reaching* → Eros (reaching) + Moira (fate)
**Body-parts as visible expression of trait-state.** When a position activates with its trait-coordinate, the participant's human-mesh body-shader pulses in the corresponding trait-color. The visible body becomes the *real-time signal* of the trait-state — no HUD; the body itself is the readout. Two clasp-partners see each other's body-shader-pulse as the conversation between their trait-states unfolds.
**Cross-context-consistency is now mechanically true.** The architecture's earlier commitment (the v0.1 design-vision's *"same gesture-skill for dialog, combat, intimacy, maintenance, ritual"*; design-vision doc retired in v0.9, preserved in git history) is operationalized: **the same gesture-circle + universal-translator + trait-LoRA-per-turn-selection + lemniscate-recursive-aggregation drives all of them.** A 200-hour player has dramatically richer intimate-gameplay than a 50-hour player for the same reason they have richer linguistic and emotional competence — they've accumulated more vocabulary in the universal-translator and more selection-pattern fluency on the gesture-circle. **Linguistic competence, emotional competence, and intimate competence are the same competence in this system.**
**This is also why premium-imperial-net intimate-gameplay is *mechanically identical* to in-between clasp.** Same lemniscate. Same gesture-circle. Same trait-alignment. The differences are at the *value-flow* and *persistence* layers (per `../political-register/architecture.md` §Three-tier intimacy structure and `../inference-and-memory/architecture.md` §Three sqlite stores per player), not at the runtime-mechanics layer. The architecture's typed-contract discipline pays off here too: one machinery, multiple political-economic contexts.
### Driver-context-pull (LLM dialog substrate)
The cursor's position at each crossing makes context-construction for the dialog-driver a pure function of cursor-state:
