feat(attest-demo): local air-gapped instrument — the 2nd html npx bash-opens

npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo now writes and opens THREE pages, served over a
transient 127.0.0.1 server (WebCrypto secure context, no file:// caveat):
  1. attest-demo-report.html  — the redpill QnA (improved: air-gap badge + link)
  2. attest-demo-ux.html      — the INTERACTIVE local instrument (new)
  3. attest-demo-lifecycle.html — the six-page lifecycle spec (new)

The instrument: three triangulation inputs (Intent/Reality/Negative), an
interventions deck (Run verification · Inject noise · Draft->Execute /
Advise->Transact / Diagnose->Operate presets), a seven-panel pipeline where
EVERY panel names its own source file / line count / byte size / sha256
(the chain-of-custody an underwriter needs), and three clickable 12x12 reef
inspectors. It measures LOCALLY with the browser's own gzip (CompressionStream)
+ crypto.subtle — zero fetch, zero external asset, no LLM in the receipt path.

The receipt stays LLM-free and deterministic (the SEALED half is a function of
the commit, embedded verbatim); the live browser gzip is the same sensor re-run
in front of the reader (the analogue), honestly distinguished from the sealed
bare-metal Linux walk.

Hardened against the four demo-fatal gotchas (spec steer 2026-07-14):
  #1 secure-context — served over localhost + a byte-correct pure-JS SHA-256
     fallback so file:// never blank-screens
  #2 injection escaping — run data injected as BASE64, decoded UTF-8-safe; no
     template-literal interpolation of the 144-cell semantic dumps
  #3 thin-context — inputs under the redundancy floor are wrapped in an
     operational boundary (gzip needs redundancy or short strings flip-flop)
  #4 browser<->Linux zlib variance — disclosed and pointed at Execution Lineage,
     not hidden

Guard (CODE DoD, same commit): tests/pmu-simulator/attest-demo-ux-airgapped.test.mjs
13/13 — any re-introduced network call, external asset, LLM-in-compute, raw-JSON
injection, missing provenance, or dropped Boolean state turns the build red.

Story: The attest-demo already narrated the proof and opened a static QnA report; the sale needs the underwriter to SEE the instrument run locally and move the inputs themselves. This adds that second, interactive, air-gapped page (built front-to-back, then documented in a six-page lifecycle spec with explicit anti-goals) and hard-enforces the no-LLM/no-exfil guarantee with a regression guard — because a page that phones home or blank-screens in front of Marsh is fatal.

◎ COMPETENCE SHAPE — the leaf walk, encircled
the shape the off-lane % describes — each cluster ringed in its own colour, numbered, located on the 144-anchor lattice
each region is where the leaf walk — the recursive definer-of-definer walk on the chip — lit reality outside the declared intent lane. Named, ranged and read below deterministically, with zero model in the loop — recompute the identical bytes yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo

what you're looking at: the whole map is your competence lattice — both edges are the same 144 ShortLex anchors (what you do × what you act on). Each lit cell is one place this commit said something (its message + docs) and did something (its code). Colour = whether saying and doing landed in the same lane.
green — in lane: you worked where you declared. This is the competence; more green is better.
amber — bleed: code touched a neighbour you didn't mention. A little is normal — nobody declares everything.
red — drift: code fired in an orthogonal lane (the surgeon doing plumbing) and enough of it to flip the aggregate. Red ≈ 0 is what good looks like.
the pink ring is this commit's coordinate — where its work actually concentrated on the lattice.
so, this commit: 702 green, 1326 amber, 0 red → off-lane 24% against a 25% tolerance — in lane, some bleed.

C1,C2 — Operations·Grid × Operations·Loop (actor) acting on A2,B — Strategy·Goal × Tactics (patient) · grip 0.828
actor seed C1,C2 — Operations Grid as the lens on Operations Loop. Each iteration is a hypothesis tested against the ground truth of the world. Loops shorter than the feedback half-life waste the half-life; loops longer than it pay compounding interest on the wait. Cycles compound when each turn's exhaust feeds the next turn's intake. Closed loops compound; open loops decay. The closing of the loop IS the productivity, not the running of it. Power flows where the grid lets it. Choose connections before topologies; the topology is what the connections compose, and a connection added later is a topology silently rewritten. Latency is geography expressed in milliseconds. The grid IS the map of where compute meets storage meets bandwidth; the map is the territory at the scale the request actually traverses.
patient seed A2,B — Target positions set quarterly goals that require specific tactics and leverage maneuvers to successfully occupy. The target is the cell coordinate the system MUST occupy by end-of-quarter. Anything that does not drive toward that coordinate is exhaust, and exhaust does not become substrate by being labelled progress. Tactics is the choice of which leverage to pull at which beat. Not what we want, but how the want lands on Tuesday: the sequence of irreversible commitments, each made before the next one's information is available. Vision is the coordinate the lattice rotates around — the fixed bearing every iteration is measured against. Without the fixed point, motion is movement; with the fixed point, motion is convergence. Speed of feedback dominates speed of execution. Tactics that converge fast beat tactics that compute long, because the loop closes around the world's response before the world has moved. Define the goal as a verifiable predicate, not a feeling. The system terminates when the predicate evaluates true, and the predicate is what the next agent inherits when this one hands off. The tactical map is a ranked list of moves where each move carries a cost-of-delay. Pick the move whose cost of doing it tomorrow exceeds the cost of doing it imperfectly today. A goal that cannot be tested is a wish. Wishes have no termination condition, so they consume budget forever; goals have a finish line and therefore a payable price. Execution is a sequence of bets made under uncertainty. Tactics is the discipline of betting the right size on the bet whose information value pays for the loss-if-wrong.

feat(attest-demo): local air-gapped instrument — the 2nd html npx bash-opens

npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo now writes and opens THREE pages, served over a
transient 127.0.0.1 server (WebCrypto secure context, no file:// caveat):
  1. attest-demo-report.html  — the redpill QnA (improved: air-gap badge + link)
  2. attest-demo-ux.html      — the INTERACTIVE local instrument (new)
  3. attest-demo-lifecycle.html — the six-page lifecycle spec (new)

The instrument: three triangulation inputs (Intent/Reality/Negative), an
interventions deck (Run verification · Inject noise · Draft->Execute /
Advise->Transact / Diagnose->Operate presets), a seven-panel pipeline where
EVERY panel names its own source file / line count / byte size / sha256
(the chain-of-custody an underwriter needs), and three clickable 12x12 reef
inspectors. It measures LOCALLY with the browser's own gzip (CompressionStream)
+ crypto.subtle — zero fetch, zero external asset, no LLM in the receipt path.

The receipt stays LLM-free and deterministic (the SEALED half is a function of
the commit, embedded verbatim); the live browser gzip is the same sensor re-run
in front of the reader (the analogue), honestly distin

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · 4.25 forming p100 of last 10
the realization is converging on the spec — iterate again → one more ingest iteration should clear the trust floor
good looks like: positive on an aligned commit (phantom P1: sigmaPositive) · ≥6 clears the trust floor · ≥8.5 verified-reef · 0–3 = panel story not yet evidence
tolerance (edge cells) · 702 green · 1326 amber · 0 red · off-lane 24% bleeding p95 of last 10
some reality fired outside the declared lanes — amber bleed, below the alarm flip → glance at the TOLERANCE panel — amber clusters show where reality leaned out
good looks like: red ≈ 0 and orthogonal off-lane < 10% on an in-lane commit (phantom P1: redZero, offPctBelow 10) — a few amber is normal bleed
pre-walk overlap · 5% overlapping p75 of last 10
the two ingests share real ground without being copies — the healthy middle → nothing to do — this is the healthy shape
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 4.205% of compared cells disagree close p95 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 110 hops → ply 8 · reality 143 hops → ply 7 · 501ms inside-budget
both cascades ran to extinction inside the time budget — the read is complete · each hop = one real on-chip ballistic process; intent ended at C1,C1, reality at B2,B2 · C2,C — the definers-of-definers the recursion concentrated on → the ply story in the panels is complete
good looks like: both sides finish inside the 2500ms budget; clouds concentrate at block-heads (the ShortLex-ascending follow), early plies heavy, deep plies faint
lattice fill · intent 938/20736 (4.5%) · reality 2028/20736 (9.8%) walkable
a real, walkable lattice (~4% is the density target) — the walk had ground to cover → nothing to do
the ladder — what's climbing · weakest link first
→ weakest · intersection-specific words/tile (median) · 5 (over 144 tiles) → target 70 parent-echo distance 0.93 · author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
σ_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · 0.15 (n=10) → target 6 weak distance 0.97 · read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this
σ_response pass count · 32/144 → target 144 thin distance 0.78 · raise seed richness (the reef GDD loop) — pass count follows intersection-specific words
σ_localize (latest targeted edit) · 0.61 @ B3,B3 → target 6 chance distance 0.9 · iterate the ingest until the target zone owns its own edit — the brain-surgeon read does not yet hold
sweep coverage (deterministic top-rank hits) · 23/46 → target 46 majority distance 0.5 · chase the missing tiles in the sweep — each convert lifts σ_panel directly
seed orthogonality (distinct openings) · 143/144 → target 144 converging distance 0.01 · fix the few shared openings — tile-dump-inspect names them
σ_panel (joint rank certainty) · 10.63 → target 6 beyond-doubt distance 0 · cite the distribution-level claim (carry the independence caveat)
next move (picked by the system, not session memory): intersection-specific words/tile (median) is furthest from target weighted by leverage (5 (over 144 tiles) vs target 70 → distance 0.93 × leverage 1 = 0.93) — author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system

# Laboratory 🧪 — Reef-the-spec + A↔B signing → the delegation drift receipt

## WHY (authored in Operator)
The delegation itself should be **measured**, not trusted. The author room (actor) signs the spec as intent; the executing room (patient) signs delivered work; the real on-chip walk measures the drift = "did the room build what the spec asked." That makes the actor–patient pair the delegation subdivision, and dogfoods the signing mesh locally as a rehearsal for the internet-wide version. This is also what unblocks Builder's R6.

## REQUIREMENTS (falsifiable)
- **R1 — reef-from-spec.** A command that compiles an arbitrary markdown spec → a reef seeded from *its own* vocabulary (NOT the generic 144-tile library). *Check:* feeding `builder-npx-underwriter-package.md` yields a reef whose anchors come from that spec.
- **R2 — A↔B signing.** Node A (author room) ed25519-signs the reef/intent commitment; node B (executing room) signs the delivered-work payload. The two signatures + the drift receipt form one transaction. *Check:* two distinct host keys appear on the receipt.
- **R3 — The REAL walk (HARD RULE).** Run the **real recursive on-chip ballistic walk** (`pmu-onchip --ballistic`, connectivity lattice, row→column→row recursion) with spec=intent, delivered-work=reality. **NEVER** the analytic `mode=converged`/diffusion shortcut, a diagonal/identity grid, a JS BFS, or Monte-Carlo-as-the-walk. Speed is a correctness signal (~14ms, not ~21s). *Check:* `tests/pmu-simulator/competence-walk-is-real.test.mjs` stays green; the walk propagates past ply 1.
- **R4 — Drift receipt.** Output = a signed receipt stating whether the delivered work cohered with the spec (σ + verdict + triptych). *Check:* run Spec A as reef, Builder's package as payload → a signed σ.
- **R5 — Local mesh dogfood.** Run the whole A↔B loop on this repo's rooms locally, as the rehearsal for the internet-wide mesh. *Check:* a local two-node transaction completes end-to-end.

## ACCEPTANCE
Take this delegation set as the test: Spec A (reef/intent) signed by Operator-as-node-A, Builder's delivered npx package (reality) signed by Builder-as-node-B → the real ballistic walk produces a signed drift receipt with a σ that says whether Builder built what the spec asked. Respect the competence-walk HARD RULE; that's the whole differentiator.
This is the on-chip drift receipt for commit b0dc5870b, the same artifact emailed on commit — published so the claim is verifiable on the open web. Recompute it yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo.
