What this release contains

This release bundles a VALIDATED PLAN + READY-TO-APPLY PATCHES for closing the body-time loop in the MotionMix Echelon engine. It does NOT contain a fully shipped + verified live system. Live verification is gated on Codex / Mohamed applying the patches on Mac4 + running the live test on iPhone 16.

Three real bugs identified (Crucible Stage 1 §3, synthesis §1)

1. `state.phase` is never written by `SimpleLatentUpdater`. Source: `cc-brain/src/latent/simple.rs:166-178`. Slot [70] of the 128D vector is dead-zero.
2. Backend enum dispatch is INVERTED between Swift and Rust. Source: `EchelonBridge.swift:62-65` (Swift declares `simple=0, learned=1, dell=2`) vs `cc-brain/src/ffi.rs:348-351` (Rust dispatches `1 => DELL, _ => Simple`). `Backend.learned` makes a DELL core. `LearnedLatentUpdater` is unreachable from iOS.
3. EchelonBridge slot index mismatch. Source: `EchelonBridge.swift:397-404` (`getTemporalState` reads `[69, 70, 71]` as `(tempo, confidence, phase)` but Rust writes `(tempo, phase, periodicity)` per `san/mod.rs:85-87`).

Plus one architectural module (`TemporalIntegrator`) and one supporting module (`PocketFFT`) are needed to give the system a single source of truth for body-time.

Acceptance criteria — verification status

#CriterionVerification status
1128D[70] state.phase non-zero during body motionPATCH READY (`patches/phase-2/01-state-phase-population.patch` writes phase from autocorrelation + dt-aware advancement). Live verification BLOCKED on patch application + on-device run.
2iOS default path uses LearnedLatentUpdater (with safe fallback)PATCH READY (`patches/phase-3/01-rust-backend-enum-fix.patch` + `patches/phase-3/03-default-path-swap.patch`). Backend enum fix is independent and ships first; default-path swap gated behind `simple-default` cargo feature for instant rollback. Live verification BLOCKED on patch application + iOS rebuild.
3Body-driven audio output verified liveBLOCKED on live capture (Mac4 + iPhone 16 + ShootView rig). Patches do not address this gate; this is a human-in-loop verification per Lens 6 E-3.
4No DELL 150 BPM impositionDEFERRED to Phase 5 (intentionally not in this collapsed run; bar-event queue from Phase 2 is the prerequisite, and the Phase 5 patch consumes it).
5 (added by Excavation)EchelonBridge `getTemporalState` reads slots in correct orderPATCH READY (`patches/phase-2/05-swift-bridge-temporal-state.patch` switches Swift to the explicit `echelon_get_temporal_state` FFI which returns `(tempo, confidence, phase, phase_unwrapped)` as separate fields).

Live test BLOCKED on actual code execution which is OUT of scope for this collapsed run — patches are ready to apply but not applied. See "Promotion criteria" below.

Honest gap statement

This chain produced VALIDATED PLANS + READY-TO-APPLY PATCHES, not a fully shipped + verified live system.

What IS done:
- Three identified bugs traced to file:line on disk
- Architecture validated against the 8-lens review (Feasibility, Coherence, Risk, Dependency, Novelty, Executability, Entanglement, Paradox Fuel)
- 10 patches written in unified-diff format, all syntactically valid (Rust + Swift)
- Each patch includes a test snippet
- The CRITICAL R-2 risk (default-path swap with no rollback) is resolved by the Phase 3 patch design — Result-based fallback at the FFI level, plus the `simple-default` cargo feature flag

What is NOT done:
- Patches are NOT applied to Mac4 source trees
- `cargo test` has NOT been run with the patches in place
- `libechelon_ios.a` has NOT been rebuilt
- No Xcode build, no device deploy, no live test
- No mp4 proof of "body slow → music slows"

Live verification requires Codex / Mohamed to apply patches on Mac4 + run the live test on iPhone 16.

Promotion criteria — Chain 2 trigger

Chain 2 (Sky Garden Duncan-parity push) STARTS when ALL of the following hold:

1. All 10 patches applied to `Desktop/Comp-Core/` and `Desktop/MotionMixApp/`
2. `cargo test -p cc-brain --lib` passes (must include the new tests from each patch)
3. `cargo build -p echelon-ios --target aarch64-apple-ios --release` succeeds
4. `libechelon_ios.a` copied to `Desktop/MotionMixApp/Frameworks/`
5. `xcodebuild build -workspace MotionMixApp.xcworkspace -scheme MotionMixApp -destination 'generic/platform=iOS'` passes
6. App deployed to iPhone 16 Plus (device id `880B4058-F0B8-59EC-8693-7750C90BDB62`)
7. Live test recorded as mp4 at `Desktop/crucible-output/echelon-l4/proof-2026-05-08.mp4` (or later date) showing:
- HUD displays `source=CoreML` (or `source=Rules` if Hub off)
- HUD displays slots [69:73] populated (tempo, phase, periodicity, grounding non-zero)
- Dancer slows by ~20
- No audio pop / click during transition

The release-2 trigger lives at `[home-path]` and is a no-op until criteria 1-7 are all green.

Rollback recipe

If the patches regress production audio after live deploy:

1. Instant rollback (no rebuild): flip `EchelonBridge.swift` `temporalSlotEnabled = false` (the feature gate at the iOS bridge level — already present in the synthesized plan, not in these patches because the patches focus on Rust correctness; the iOS gate is a separate Phase 5 add).
2. Source-level rollback: rebuild iOS static lib with `cargo build -p echelon-ios --features simple-default --release`. This routes `echelon_create_default()` through `SimpleLatentUpdater` exactly as today.
3. Full revert: `git revert` the 10 patch commits. Each patch is independently revertible because each is its own commit (no inter-patch fixups).

The Backend enum fix (Phase 3 patch 01) is the only path that has no rollback flag — but it is also LATENT (no production call site uses `Backend.learned` today, per Excavation §6 OQ7), so reverting it cannot regress shipping behavior.

Sign-off

Chain 1 release artifact written by Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) at `2026-05-08`. The release flag at `[home-path]` is set on the same date.

Chain 2 (Sky Garden Duncan-parity push) is staged at `[home-path]` for next `/chain:full-omega` invocation.
