# Mac5 Codex handoff — 2026-04-26 ~14:30 local (last revised ~16:15 post-Wave-5) > **Topology correction, 2026-04-26:** Mac4 is the current Unity Editor / GUI smoke-test host and real-Femto capture host. Mac5 is still the synthpub LaunchAgent / synthetic fallback host. Do not blindly replace all Mac5 references; see `software/demo/TOPOLOGY-CORRECTION-2026-04-26.md`. **This file supersedes the 2026-04-25 handoff** (`MAC5-CODEX-HANDOFF.md`, which anchored on Wave 1 only). This one covers Waves 1-5 (22 commits) plus the Duncan reference library + gap analysis. 1. **`CODEX-CONTEXT.md`** — origin, evolution, decision log. *Why* the pipeline looks the way it does. Read this FIRST. 2. **`unity/lume_pcloud/ARCHITECTURE.md`** — current state mental model. The 10-component graph + 13 global uniforms + wire formats. 3. **`CODEX-PLAN.md`** — priority-ranked next-action list with success criteria + escalation triggers. 4. **This file** — operational bootstrap prompt (below). Paste into Codex on Mac5 once you've read 1-3. 5. `DUNCAN-GAP-ANALYSIS.md` — what's left to match Duncan's stack. 6. `Reference/Duncan/INDEX.md` — 83 reels + 69 analyses, indexed by Duncan's own E-numbering. Paste from `## ↓↓↓ paste this to Codex ↓↓↓` to the end of this file as the bootstrap prompt.

Why this is not always a full paper yet

Corpus pages are public-safe readers for discovered workspace artifacts. They are not automatically final papers. A corpus item becomes a polished paper only after the editable source, evidence checkpoints, references, figures, render path, and release status are attached through the paper schema.
