The kernel, adapters, UI, server, and CLI are ESM packages with built output under dist. The VS Code extension is a CommonJS extension-host package.
The source-neutral cognitive runtime includes evidence, graph/hyperedge types, alpha normalization, directed PPR/PowerWalk, support and relation-potential contracts, the learned turn-requirement field, 17 cognitive operators, proposal/claim-basis planning, candidate/judge/proof/Mouth boundaries, one bounded low-support recovery transition, answer revision, brain lifecycle types, exact-byte workspace snapshots, and content-addressed patch plans. Low-support recovery can learn from eligible local state or use configured search/fetch, but returned material must pass canonical typed ingestion before replanning. Different-title evidence can pass source anchoring only when a request-matched semantic frame explicitly carries that evidence ID; a body-text mention alone is not an anchor.
After one exhausted acquisition attempt, the current user policy licenses a terminal creative continuation for an under-supported factual or reasoned turn only through an admitted learned_continuation or learned_structural_composition realization with nonempty sourcePieceIds, bounded repetition, novel non-request material, and passing non-echo, risk, and unsupported-fact gates. Structural composition records exact request-owned code-point and UTF-8 byte spans plus source-activation IDs; those spans are constraints, not evidence. The selected claims carry invented claim basis, have zero evidence references, carry generated_not_evidence provenance, and cannot receive factual certification. Empty connector, graph, and language state is not eligible for invention; the planner instead selects a non-assertive answer limited to source-derived material. Mouth realizes the selected semantic values from learned language memory and permitted source-bound surfaces and keeps proof/control identifiers out of answer prose.
projectRequestAuthority is the shared requirement-field projection used by the kernel and source-only runtime; its six authority scores are explicitly uncalibrated routing energies, and an explicit structured authority remains a traced override. createSourceOnlyScceRuntime is the named in-memory source-only factory; createScceRuntime currently aliases it. Its exported ProgramGraph conversion primitive structurally accepts a trusted internal hydrated full-file graph only with exact-base repair lineage, current live absence observations, and a linked candidate test. It does not authenticate caller metadata, establish semantic correctness, or execute the candidate test; regressionProtection remains 0 until execution evidence exists. It has no external runtime dependency.
- Dependencies:
@scce/kernel,pg,mammoth,typescript, and the locally vendored SheetJS CE 0.20.3 archive. - Storage:
PostgresStorageAdapterwith schema v23 lifecycle enforcement, durable segmentation populations, and canonical arbitrary-arity hyperedge fields. - Runtime:
NodeScceRuntimeand hydration/import/corpus adapters. A non-emptySCCE_DATABASE_URLoverridesdatabase.urlwhile configuration is loaded, allowing the PostgreSQL secret to stay outsidescce.config.json. The server does not run schema migration automatically; runpnpm scce db migratebefore startup for the exact checkout. - Workspace:
WorkspaceRuntime, filesystem inspection, exact-byte durable-revision verification, content-addressed patch-plan generation and execution, source-proven unused type-only import repair, and official TypeScript LanguageService code fixes. Compiler fixes use only durable snapshot files plus the TypeScript standard library. The source-observed directtscinvocation must resolve an exact snapshot project config and include the sole requested diagnostic file. Structured positive integerdiagnosticCodes(--diagnostic-code=<integer>in the CLI) must scope the compiler candidates to one action; request prose is never a selector. That compiler-owned action may include up to 32 affected files and 128 exact text changes as one transaction, including.ts,.tsx,.mts,.cts,.js,.jsx,.mjs, or.cjscreation under an existing snapshot directory. Command-bearing actions, implicit or ambiguous selection, paths outside the workspace, stale or absent replacement bases, and creation outside an existing directory are rejected. Validation uses the default trusted-host provider or the optional server-selected digest-pinned Docker provider. - Connectors:
ConfiguredConnectorAdapterunder configured policy. - Spreadsheet extraction accepts
.xlsx,.xlsm, and.xlsthrough the bounded child-process ingestion lane. Formula results are stored workbook values marked unverified; formulas are not evaluated, and macros/external links/embedded objects are not executed or resolved. See Spreadsheet Ingestion Contract.
Depends on kernel, Node adapters, and UI. It exposes the route manifest and the HTTP runtime. POST /api/turn?stream=1 (or Accept: application/x-ndjson) flushes a scce.turn_stream.v1 acceptance frame immediately. The frame includes a stable turn-task ID plus status, reconnect-stream, and explicit-cancel URLs. Cognitive-stage progress frames and three-second heartbeats continue until a terminal result, error, or cancelled frame.
The five-second contract applies to the first visible frame, not total answer completion; long tasks may continue for hours. A client disconnect only detaches that subscriber and does not cancel the turn. The workbench reconnects a dropped stream from its last durable sequence and restores an active receipt after a page reload. Cancellation is explicit:
GET /api/turn/task/:id
GET /api/turn/task/:id/stream?after=<sequence>
POST /api/turn/task/:id/cancel
Accepted, phase-change, terminal, and cancellation frames are appended to the existing durable event ledger. Heartbeats are intentionally ephemeral. The initial frame reports persistence as pending until the append completes; the status endpoint reports whether all current frames are durable. After a server restart, completed tasks remain replayable. A task that had no terminal ledger frame is reported as interrupted rather than pretending execution resumed. Plain POST /api/turn remains a single JSON compatibility response and has no five-second completion claim.
POST /api/workspace/patch/plan is non-mutating: it accepts only the strict scce.workspace-patch-plan-request.v1 body, verifies the latest durable workspace against exact current bytes, and returns an unauthorized, unexecuted review plan. The schema prefix is scce.*. POST /api/workspace/patch/plan/request is also strict and non-mutating. It supports the proven unused type-only import removal and official TypeScript LanguageService fixes when structured positive integer diagnosticCodes resolve to one action rooted at the sole requested existing target; request prose never selects a compiler candidate. The complete selected action may replace multiple exact snapshot files or create bounded TypeScript/JavaScript source files under existing directories, subject to the 32-file and 128-text-change limits. The LanguageService is bound to exact durable snapshot bytes and an exact project config resolved from the source-observed direct tsc invocation. Missing or unbound configs and requested files outside the parsed project are rejected. The route requires source-observed build/test commands; command-bearing actions and unsupported feature synthesis are rejected. Plans require compiler, typecheck, and test validation and do not authorize or execute it. POST /api/workspace/patch is the separate, disabled-by-default application boundary requiring mutation policy and capability approval. Project/report GET handlers persist records and are declared mutating in the manifest.
Depends on kernel and Node adapters. It exposes runtime, corpus, workspace, project, report, inspection, and hygiene commands through dist/index.js.
Workbench rendering/model code used by the local server.
Local loopback client for the existing server lane. It provides readiness, workspace ingestion/questions/status, project summaries, persisted task state, SecretStorage authentication, and reviewed patch application. The packaged VSIX has been installed in an isolated VS Code 1.96.4 profile; that host activated it, observed its commands, and called GET /api/ready. The smoke test does not cover visual layout, restart recovery, or a live patch transaction. The extension does not invoke a model or provide an OS sandbox.
Bounded read/diagnostic tools for repository shape/search/symbols/callsites/routes/dependencies, git summaries, targeted tests, PostgreSQL schema/explain, and trace inspection. It does not expose arbitrary shell execution.
