Reorg step 1: consolidate repo under core/, drop the mafiabot label
Mechanical structure-only pass (no document/guide content edits):

- Move src/ichor, src/endocrine, and docs/ into core/; the old top-level
  mafiabot_core/ becomes core/. Everything now lives under a single core/ root.
- Drop the "mafiabot" label from the Ada/Alire crate: core.gpr (project Core),
  alire.toml name = "core"; the generated *_config.* regenerate as core_config.*.
- Repoint build-critical wiring only:
  - .claude/skills/run-sica-fondt/smoke.sh (ponyc + Ada + COBOL paths)
  - core/src/endocrine R source()/runner paths and the test glob
  - .github/workflows/ci.yml (working-directory + gpr name)

Verified green: smoke ALL GREEN (Pony Ichor, Ada core crate + tests, COBOL E1
vault); R endocrine 14/0; Octave ETR 26/0/1.

Deferred (reserved for a less-ephemeral doc/guide pass): docmap.yaml, the guide
files and nested AGENTS.md/README prose + now-stale relative links, SOUL.md, and
the deeper ring/storage restructure.

2.1 KiB

B2 — SOUL.md identity organ + Big-3

1. Component

The standing self-definition loaded at the top of a run (Hermes soul.md / CLAUDE.md equivalent): the Big-3 (Sun/Ascendant/Moon) drawn from the tarot (B1), plus the two reshuffle clocks that govern when identity re-rolls vs persists.

2. Status / certainty

Exists in Ada (organs/soul/soul-state.{ads,adb} — Big-3 + session table) but defunct-flagged; re-home decision open. Schema C4.

3. Language & location

TBD (lives "in the brain"; written to ~/.hermes/SOUL.md at boot by C1). New location e.g. src/soul/.

4. Does / does-not

  • Does: hold the Big-3 (each card → its own reference doc); render SOUL.md; manage the two reshuffles; carry one self into many rooms.
  • Does-not: draw cards (B1) or run the metacog (C2). It is the persistent face.

5. Interface contract

  • Big-3: { Sun: card (core/spine), Ascendant: card (outward mask), Moon: card (inner, shown only when vulnerable) }, immutable between reshuffles.
  • generate_soul_md(big3) -> text (written to ~/.hermes/SOUL.md).
  • Two reshuffles: full_renatal() (boot · deep · strong stress endomotiv via G1) → Big-3 re-rolled + fresh cross; cross_only(trigger) (new room · "went long enough") → Big-3 kept, prior cross folded back, new cross.

6. Dependencies & stubs

B1 tarot (draws) — stub: fixed Big-3. G1 stress (full-reshuffle trigger) — stub: call full_renatal() directly.

7. Invariants / laws

  • L1 (C4): Big-3 immutable between reshuffles (identity is the slow layer).
  • L2 (C4): full reshuffle re-rolls Big-3; cross-only keeps it — one self, many rooms.
  • L3 (C2): a strong stress endomotiv (G1) can fire a full reshuffle.

8. Build steps

  1. Decide language/re-home. 2. Port Big-3 + SOUL.md render. 3. Implement the two reshuffle clocks + the G1 trigger hook. 4. Wire boot write to ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (C1).

9. Tests

Big-3 immutability across a cross-only reshuffle; re-roll on full; SOUL.md render snapshot.

10. Open items

  • Reuse-vs-rebuild + language (open). "Went long enough" trigger threshold (C1). G1 stress→reshuffle threshold (C1/C2).
