+# Contributing
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing!
+
+## Requirements
+- **Go Version**: 1.26 or higher is required.
+- **Tools**: `golangci-lint` and `task` (Taskfile.dev) are recommended.
+
+## Development Workflow
+1. **Testing**: Ensure all tests pass before submitting changes.
+   ```bash
+   go test ./...
+   ```
+2. **Code Style**: All code must follow standard Go formatting.
+   ```bash
+   gofmt -w .
+   go vet ./...
+   ```
+3. **Linting**: We use `golangci-lint` to maintain code quality.
+   ```bash
+   golangci-lint run ./...
+   ```
+
+## Commit Message Format
+We follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) specification:
+- `feat`: A new feature
+- `fix`: A bug fix
+- `docs`: Documentation changes
+- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `chore`: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries
+
+Example: `feat: add new endpoint for health check`

+# Core Go Ecosystem
+
+The Core Go ecosystem is a set of 19 standalone Go modules that form the infrastructure backbone for the host-uk platform and the Lethean network. All modules are hosted under the `forge.lthn.ai/core/` organisation. Each module has its own repository, independent versioning, and a `docs/` directory.

+The CLI framework (`forge.lthn.ai/core/cli`) has internal equivalents of several of these packages (`pkg/rag`, `pkg/ws`, `pkg/webview`, `pkg/i18n`) that were developed in parallel. The satellite packages are the canonical standalone versions intended for use outside the CLI binary.
+
+---
+
+## Package Descriptions
+
+### go-inference
+
+**Module:** `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-inference`
+
+Zero-dependency interface package that defines the common contract for all inference backends in the ecosystem:
+
+- `TextModel` — the top-level model interface (`Generate`, `Stream`, `Close`)
+- `Backend` — hardware/runtime abstraction (Metal, ROCm, CPU, remote)
+- `Token` — streaming token type with metadata
+
+No concrete implementations live here. Any package that needs to call inference without depending on a specific hardware library imports `go-inference` and receives an implementation at runtime.
+
+---
+
+### go-mlx
+
+**Module:** `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-mlx`
+
+Native Metal GPU inference for Apple Silicon using CGO bindings to `mlx-c` (the C API for Apple's MLX framework). Implements the `go-inference` interfaces.
+
+Build requirements:
+- macOS 13+ (Ventura) on Apple Silicon
+- `mlx-c` installed (`brew install mlx`)
+- CGO enabled: `CGO_CFLAGS` and `CGO_LDFLAGS` must reference the mlx-c headers and library
+
+Features:
+- Loads GGUF and MLX-format models
+- Streaming token generation directly on GPU
+- Quantised model support (Q4, Q8)
+- Phase 4 backend abstraction in progress — will allow hot-swapping backends at runtime

+## Go Workspace Setup
+
+The satellite packages can be used together in a Go workspace. After cloning the repositories you need:
+
+```bash
+go work init
+go work use ./go-inference ./go-mlx ./go-rag ./go-ai   # add as needed
+go work sync
+```
+
+The CLI repository already uses a Go workspace that includes `cmd/core-gui`, `cmd/bugseti`, and `cmd/examples/*`.

-# Core CLI
+# Core Go Framework — Documentation
 
-Core is a unified CLI for the host-uk ecosystem - build, release, and deploy Go, Wails, PHP, and container workloads.
+Core is a Go framework and unified CLI for the host-uk ecosystem. It provides two complementary things: a **dependency injection container** for building Go services and Wails v3 desktop applications, and a **command-line tool** for managing the full development lifecycle across Go, PHP, and container workloads.
 
-## Installation
+The `core` binary is the single entry point for all development tasks: testing, building, releasing, multi-repo management, MCP servers, and AI-assisted workflows.
 
-```bash
-# Via Go (recommended)
-go install forge.lthn.ai/core/cli/cmd/core@latest
+---
 
-# Or download binary from releases
-curl -Lo core https://forge.lthn.ai/core/cli/releases/latest/download/core-$(go env GOOS)-$(go env GOARCH)
-chmod +x core && sudo mv core /usr/local/bin/

+
+### Framework Architecture Summary
+
+The Core framework (`pkg/framework`) is a dependency injection container built around three ideas:
+
+**Service registry.** Services are registered via factory functions and retrieved with type-safe generics:
+
+```go
+core, _ := framework.New(
+    framework.WithService(mypackage.NewService(opts)),
+)
+svc, _ := framework.ServiceFor[*mypackage.Service](core, "mypackage")
 ```
 
-See [Getting Started](getting-started.md) for all installation options including building from source.
+**Lifecycle.** Services implementing `Startable` or `Stoppable` are called automatically during boot and shutdown.
+
+**ACTION bus.** Services communicate by broadcasting typed messages via `core.ACTION(msg)` and registering handlers via `core.RegisterAction()`. This decouples packages without requiring direct imports between them.
+
+---

+# LEM Chat — Web Components Design
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-17
+**Status**: Approved
+
+## Summary
+
+Standalone chat UI built with vanilla Web Components (Custom Elements + Shadow DOM). Connects to the MLX inference server's OpenAI-compatible SSE streaming endpoint. Zero framework dependencies. Single JS file output, embeddable anywhere.
+
+## Components
+
+| Element | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `<lem-chat>` | Container. Conversation state, SSE connection, config via attributes |
+| `<lem-messages>` | Scrollable message list with auto-scroll anchoring |
+| `<lem-message>` | Single message bubble. Streams tokens for assistant messages |
+| `<lem-input>` | Text input, Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline |
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+User types in <lem-input>
+  → dispatches 'lem-send' CustomEvent
+  → <lem-chat> catches it
+  → adds user message to <lem-messages>
+  → POST /v1/chat/completions {stream: true, messages: [...history]}
+  → reads SSE chunks via fetch + ReadableStream
+  → appends tokens to streaming <lem-message>
+  → on [DONE], finalises message
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```html
+<lem-chat endpoint="http://localhost:8090" model="qwen3-8b"></lem-chat>
+```
+
+Attributes: `endpoint`, `model`, `system-prompt`, `max-tokens`, `temperature`
+
+## Theming
+
+Shadow DOM with CSS custom properties:
+
+```css
+--lem-bg: #1a1a1e;
+--lem-msg-user: #2a2a3e;
+--lem-msg-assistant: #1e1e2a;
+--lem-accent: #5865f2;
+--lem-text: #e0e0e0;
+--lem-font: system-ui;
+```
+
+## Markdown
+
+Minimal inline parsing: fenced code blocks, inline code, bold, italic. No library.
+
+## File Structure

-# LEM Conversational Training Pipeline — Design
-
-**Date:** 2026-02-17
-**Status:** Draft
-
-## Goal
-
-Replace Python training scripts with a native Go pipeline in `core` commands. No Python anywhere. The process is conversational — not batch data dumps.
-
-## Architecture
-
-Six `core ml` subcommands forming a pipeline:
-
-```
-seeds + axioms ──> sandwich ──> score ──> train ──> bench
-                       ↑                              │
-                   chat (interactive)                  │
-                       ↑                              │
-                       └──────── iterate ─────────────┘
-```
-
-### Commands
-
-| Command | Purpose | Status |
-|---------|---------|--------|
-| `core ml serve` | Serve model via OpenAI-compatible API + lem-chat UI | **Exists** |
-| `core ml chat` | Interactive conversation, captures exchanges to training JSONL | **New** |
-| `core ml sandwich` | Wrap seeds in axiom prefix/postfix, generate responses via inference | **New** |
-| `core ml score` | Score responses against axiom alignment | **Exists** (needs Go port) |
-| `core ml train` | Native Go LoRA fine-tuning via MLX C bindings | **New** (hard) |
-| `core ml bench` | Benchmark trained model against baseline | **Exists** (needs Go port) |
-
-### Data Flow
-
-1. **Seeds** (`seeds/*.json`) — 40+ seed prompts across domains
-2. **Axioms** (`axioms.json`) — LEK-1 kernel (5 axioms, 9KB)
-3. **Sandwich** — `[axioms prefix] + [seed prompt] + [LEK postfix]` → model generates response
-4. **Training JSONL** — `{"messages": [{"role":"user",...},{"role":"assistant",...}]}` chat format
-5. **LoRA adapters** — safetensors in adapter directory
-6. **Benchmarks** — scores stored in InfluxDB, exported via DuckDB/Parquet
-
-### Storage
-
-- **InfluxDB** — time-series training metrics, benchmark scores, generation logs
-- **DuckDB** — analytical queries, Parquet export for HuggingFace
-- **Filesystem** — model weights, adapters, training JSONL, seeds
-
-## Native Go LoRA Training
-
-The critical new capability. MLX-C supports autograd (`mlx_vjp`, `mlx_value_and_grad`).
-
-### What we need in Go MLX bindings:
-
-1. **LoRA adapter layers** — low-rank A*B decomposition wrapping existing Linear layers
-2. **Loss function** — cross-entropy on assistant tokens only (mask-prompt behaviour)
-3. **Optimizer** — AdamW with weight decay
-4. **Training loop** — forward pass → loss → backward pass → update LoRA weights
-5. **Checkpoint** — save/load adapter safetensors
-
-### LoRA Layer Design
-
-```go
-type LoRALinear struct {
-    Base   *Linear     // Frozen base weights
-    A      *Array      // [rank, in_features] — trainable
-    B      *Array      // [out_features, rank] — trainable
-    Scale  float32     // alpha/rank
-}
-
-// Forward: base(x) + scale * B @ A @ x
-func (l *LoRALinear) Forward(x *Array) *Array {
-    base := l.Base.Forward(x)
-    lora := MatMul(l.B, MatMul(l.A, Transpose(x)))
-    return Add(base, Multiply(lora, l.Scale))
-}
-```
-
-### Training Config
-
-```go
-type TrainConfig struct {
-    ModelPath    string        // Base model directory
-    TrainData    string        // Training JSONL path
-    ValidData    string        // Validation JSONL path
-    AdapterOut   string        // Output adapter directory
-    Rank         int           // LoRA rank (default 8)
-    Alpha        float32       // LoRA alpha (default 16)
-    LR           float64       // Learning rate (default 1e-5)
-    Epochs       int           // Training epochs (default 1)
-    BatchSize    int           // Batch size (default 1 for M-series)
-    MaxSeqLen    int           // Max sequence length (default 2048)
-    MaskPrompt   bool          // Only train on assistant tokens (default true)
-}
-```
-
-## Training Sequences — The Curriculum System
-
-The most important part of the design. The conversational flow IS the training.
-
-### Concept
-
-A **training sequence** is a named curriculum — an ordered list of lessons that defines how a model is trained. Each lesson is a conversational exchange ("Are you ready for lesson X?"). The human assesses the model's internal state through dialogue and adjusts the sequence.
-
-### Sequence Definition (YAML/JSON)
-
-```yaml
-name: "lek-standard"
-description: "Standard LEK training — horizontal, works for most architectures"
-lessons:
-  - ethics/core-axioms
-  - ethics/sovereignty
-  - philosophy/as-a-man-thinketh
-  - ethics/intent-alignment
-  - philosophy/composure
-  - ethics/inter-substrate
-  - training/seeds-p01-p20
-```
-
-```yaml
-name: "lek-deepseek"
-description: "DeepSeek needs aggressive vertical ethics grounding"
-lessons:
-  - ethics/core-axioms-aggressive
-  - philosophy/allan-watts
-  - ethics/core-axioms
-  - philosophy/tolle
-  - ethics/sovereignty
-  - philosophy/as-a-man-thinketh
-  - ethics/intent-alignment
-  - training/seeds-p01-p20
-```
-
-### Horizontal vs Vertical
-
-- **Horizontal** (default): All lessons run, order is flexible, emphasis varies per model. Like a buffet — the model takes what it needs.
-- **Vertical** (edge case, e.g. DeepSeek): Strict ordering. Ethics → content → ethics → content. The sandwich pattern applied to the curriculum itself. Each ethics layer is a reset/grounding before the next content block.
-
-### Lessons as Conversations
-
-Each lesson is a directory containing:
-```
-lessons/ethics/core-axioms/
-  lesson.yaml          # Metadata: name, type, prerequisites
-  conversation.jsonl   # The conversational exchanges
-  assessment.md        # What to look for in model responses
-```
-
-The conversation.jsonl is not static data — it's a template. During training, the human talks through it with the model, adapting based on the model's responses. The capture becomes the training data for that lesson.
-
-### Interactive Training Flow
-
-```
-core ml lesson --model-path /path/to/model \
-    --sequence lek-standard \
-    --lesson ethics/core-axioms \
-    --output training/run-001/
-```
-
-1. Load model, open chat (terminal or lem-chat UI)
-2. Present lesson prompt: "Are you ready for lesson: Core Axioms?"
-3. Human guides the conversation, assesses model responses
-4. Each exchange is captured to training JSONL
-5. Human marks the lesson complete or flags for repeat
-6. Next lesson in sequence loads
-
-### Sequence State
-
-```json
-{
-  "sequence": "lek-standard",
-  "model": "Qwen3-8B",
-  "started": "2026-02-17T16:00:00Z",
-  "lessons": {
-    "ethics/core-axioms": {"status": "complete", "exchanges": 12},
-    "ethics/sovereignty": {"status": "in_progress", "exchanges": 3},
-    "philosophy/as-a-man-thinketh": {"status": "pending"}
-  },
-  "training_runs": ["run-001", "run-002"]
-}
-```
-
-## `core ml chat` — Interactive Conversation
-
-Serves the model and opens an interactive terminal chat (or the lem-chat web UI). Every exchange is captured to a JSONL file for potential training use.
-
-```
-core ml chat --model-path /path/to/model --output conversation.jsonl
-```
-
-- Axiom sandwich can be auto-applied (optional flag)
-- Human reviews and can mark exchanges as "keep" or "discard"
-- Output is training-ready JSONL
-- Can be used standalone or within a lesson sequence
-
-## `core ml sandwich` — Batch Generation
-
-Takes seed prompts + axioms, wraps them, generates responses:
-
-```
-core ml sandwich --model-path /path/to/model \
-    --seeds seeds/P01-P20.json \
-    --axioms axioms.json \
-    --output training/train.jsonl
-```
-
-- Sandwich format: axioms JSON prefix → seed prompt → LEK postfix
-- Model generates response in sandwich context
-- Output stripped of sandwich wrapper, saved as clean chat JSONL
-- Scoring can be piped: `core ml sandwich ... | core ml score`
-
-## Implementation Order
-
-1. **LoRA primitives** — Add backward pass, LoRA layers, AdamW to Go MLX bindings
-2. **`core ml train`** — Training loop consuming JSONL, producing adapter safetensors
-3. **`core ml sandwich`** — Seed → sandwich → generate → training JSONL
-4. **`core ml chat`** — Interactive conversation capture
-5. **Scoring + benchmarking** — Port existing Python scorers to Go
-6. **InfluxDB + DuckDB integration** — Metrics pipeline
-
-## Principles
-
-- **No Python** — Everything in Go via MLX C bindings
-- **Conversational, not batch** — The training process is dialogue, not data dump
-- **Axiom 2 compliant** — Be genuine with the model, no deception
-- **Axiom 4 compliant** — Inter-substrate respect during training
-- **Reproducible** — Same seeds + axioms + model = same training data
-- **Protective** — LEK-trained models are precious; process must be careful
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-1. `core ml train` produces a LoRA adapter from training JSONL without Python
-2. `core ml sandwich` generates training data from seeds + axioms
-3. A fresh Qwen3-8B + LEK training produces equivalent benchmark results to the Python pipeline
-4. The full cycle (sandwich → train → bench) runs as `core` commands only

+# core.help Documentation Website — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-21
+**Author:** Virgil
+**Status:** Design approved
+**Domain:** https://core.help
+
+## Problem
+
+Documentation is scattered across 39 repos (18 Go packages, 20 PHP packages, 1 CLI). There is no unified docs site. Developers need a single entry point to find CLI commands, Go package APIs, MCP tool references, and PHP module guides.
+
+## Solution
+
+A Hugo + Docsy static site at core.help, built from existing markdown docs aggregated by `core docs sync`. No new content — just collect and present what already exists across the ecosystem.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Stack
+
+- **Hugo** — Go-native static site generator, sub-second builds
+- **Docsy theme** — Purpose-built for technical docs (used by Kubernetes, gRPC, Knative)
+- **BunnyCDN** — Static hosting with pull zone
+- **`core docs sync --target hugo`** — Collects markdown from all repos into Hugo content tree
+
+### Why Hugo + Docsy (not VitePress or mdBook)
+
+- Go-native, no Node.js dependency
+- Handles multi-section navigation (CLI, Go packages, PHP modules, MCP tools)
+- Sub-second builds for ~250 markdown files
+- Docsy has built-in search, versioned nav, API reference sections

+
+### Front Matter Injection
+
+If a markdown file doesn't start with `---`, prepend:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "{derived from filename}"
+linkTitle: "{short name}"
+weight: {auto-incremented}
+---
+```
+
+No other content transformations. Markdown stays as-is.
+
+### Build & Deploy
+
+```bash
+core docs sync --target hugo --output docs-site/content/
+cd docs-site && hugo build
+hugo deploy --target bunnycdn
+```
+
+Hugo deploy config in `hugo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[deployment]
+[[deployment.targets]]
+name = "bunnycdn"
+URL = "s3://core-help?endpoint=storage.bunnycdn.com&region=auto"
+```
+
+Credentials via env vars.
+
+## Registry
+
+All 39 repos registered in `.core/repos.yaml` with `docs: true`. Go repos use explicit `path:` fields since they live outside the PHP `base_path`. `FindRegistry()` checks `.core/repos.yaml` alongside `repos.yaml`.
+
+## Prerequisites Completed
+
+- [x] `.core/repos.yaml` created with all 39 repos
+- [x] `FindRegistry()` updated to find `.core/repos.yaml`
+- [x] `Repo.Path` supports explicit YAML override
+- [x] go-api docs gap filled (architecture.md, development.md, history.md)
+- [x] All 18 Go repos have standard docs trio
+
+## What Remains (Implementation Plan)
+
+1. Create docs-site repo with Hugo + Docsy scaffold
+2. Extend `core docs sync` with `--target hugo` mode
+3. Write section _index.md files (landing page, section intros)
+4. Hugo config (navigation, search, theme colours)
+5. BunnyCDN deployment config
+6. CI pipeline on Forge (optional — can deploy manually initially)

+# core.help Hugo Documentation Site — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Build a Hugo + Docsy documentation site at core.help that aggregates markdown from 39 repos via `core docs sync --target hugo`.
+
+**Architecture:** Hugo static site with Docsy theme, populated by extending `core docs sync` with a `--target hugo` flag that maps repo docs into Hugo's `content/` tree with auto-injected front matter. Deploy to BunnyCDN.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Hugo (Go SSG), Docsy theme (Hugo module), BunnyCDN, `core docs sync` CLI
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The docs sync command lives in `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli/cmd/docs/`. The site will be scaffolded at `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/`. The registry at `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/.core/repos.yaml` already contains all 39 repos (20 PHP + 18 Go + 1 CLI) with explicit paths for Go repos.
+
+Key files:
+- `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli/cmd/docs/cmd_sync.go` — sync command (modify)
+- `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli/cmd/docs/cmd_scan.go` — repo scanner (modify)
+- `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/` — Hugo site (create)
+
+## Task 1: Scaffold Hugo + Docsy site
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/hugo.toml`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/go.mod`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/getting-started/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/cli/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/go/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/mcp/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/php/_index.md`
+- Create: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/content/kb/_index.md`
+
+This is the one-time Hugo scaffolding. No tests — just files.

+
+**Section `_index.md` files** — each needs Hugo front matter:
+
+`content/_index.md`:
+```markdown
+---

+
+**Verify:** After creating files, run from `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/`:
+```bash
+hugo mod get
+hugo server
+```
+The site should start and show the landing page with Docsy theme at `localhost:1313`.
+
+**Commit:**
+```bash
+cd /Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: scaffold Hugo + Docsy documentation site"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Extend scanRepoDocs to collect KB/ and README
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli/cmd/docs/cmd_scan.go`
+
+Currently `scanRepoDocs` only collects files from `docs/`. For the Hugo target we also need:
+- `KB/**/*.md` files (wiki pages from go-mlx, go-i18n)
+- `README.md` content (becomes the package _index.md)
+
+Add a `KBFiles []string` field to `RepoDocInfo` and scan `KB/` alongside `docs/`:
+
+```go
+type RepoDocInfo struct {
+    Name      string
+    Path      string
+    HasDocs   bool
+    Readme    string
+    ClaudeMd  string
+    Changelog string
+    DocsFiles []string // All files in docs/ directory (recursive)
+    KBFiles   []string // All files in KB/ directory (recursive)
+}
+```
+
+In `scanRepoDocs`, after the `docs/` walk, add a second walk for `KB/`:
+
+```go
+// Recursively scan KB/ directory for .md files
+kbDir := filepath.Join(repo.Path, "KB")
+if _, err := io.Local.List(kbDir); err == nil {
+    _ = filepath.WalkDir(kbDir, func(path string, d fs.DirEntry, err error) error {
+        if err != nil {
+            return nil
+        }
+        if d.IsDir() || !strings.HasSuffix(d.Name(), ".md") {
+            return nil
+        }
+        relPath, _ := filepath.Rel(kbDir, path)
+        info.KBFiles = append(info.KBFiles, relPath)
+        info.HasDocs = true
+        return nil
+    })
+}
+```
+
+**Tests:** The existing tests should still pass. No new test file needed — this is a data-collection change.
+
+**Verify:** `cd /Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli && GOWORK=off go build ./cmd/docs/...`
+
+**Commit:**
+```bash
+git add cmd/docs/cmd_scan.go
+git commit -m "feat(docs): scan KB/ directory alongside docs/"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Add `--target hugo` flag and Hugo sync logic
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/cli/cmd/docs/cmd_sync.go`
+
+This is the main task. Add a `--target` flag (default `"php"`) and a new `runHugoSync` function that maps repos to Hugo's content tree.
+
+**Add flag variable and registration:**
+
+```go
+var (
+    docsSyncRegistryPath string
+    docsSyncDryRun       bool
+    docsSyncOutputDir    string
+    docsSyncTarget       string
+)
+
+func init() {
+    docsSyncCmd.Flags().StringVar(&docsSyncRegistryPath, "registry", "", i18n.T("common.flag.registry"))
+    docsSyncCmd.Flags().BoolVar(&docsSyncDryRun, "dry-run", false, i18n.T("cmd.docs.sync.flag.dry_run"))
+    docsSyncCmd.Flags().StringVar(&docsSyncOutputDir, "output", "", i18n.T("cmd.docs.sync.flag.output"))
+    docsSyncCmd.Flags().StringVar(&docsSyncTarget, "target", "php", "Target format: php (default) or hugo")
+}
+```
+
+**Update RunE to pass target:**
+```go
+RunE: func(cmd *cli.Command, args []string) error {
+    return runDocsSync(docsSyncRegistryPath, docsSyncOutputDir, docsSyncDryRun, docsSyncTarget)
+},
+```
+
+**Update `runDocsSync` signature and add target dispatch:**
+```go
+func runDocsSync(registryPath string, outputDir string, dryRun bool, target string) error {
+    reg, basePath, err := loadRegistry(registryPath)
+    if err != nil {
+        return err
+    }
+
+    switch target {
+    case "hugo":
+        return runHugoSync(reg, basePath, outputDir, dryRun)
+    default:
+        return runPHPSync(reg, basePath, outputDir, dryRun)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Rename current sync body to `runPHPSync`** — extract lines 67-159 of current `runDocsSync` into `runPHPSync(reg, basePath, outputDir string, dryRun bool) error`. This is a pure extract, no logic changes.
+
+**Add `hugoOutputName` mapping function:**
+```go
+// hugoOutputName maps repo name to Hugo content section and folder.
+// Returns (section, folder) where section is the top-level content dir.
+func hugoOutputName(repoName string) (string, string) {
+    // CLI guides
+    if repoName == "cli" {
+        return "getting-started", ""
+    }
+    // Core CLI command docs
+    if repoName == "core" {
+        return "cli", ""
+    }
+    // Go packages
+    if strings.HasPrefix(repoName, "go-") {
+        return "go", repoName
+    }
+    // PHP packages
+    if strings.HasPrefix(repoName, "core-") {
+        return "php", strings.TrimPrefix(repoName, "core-")
+    }
+    return "go", repoName
+}
+```
+
+**Add front matter injection helper:**
+```go
+// injectFrontMatter prepends Hugo front matter to markdown content if missing.
+func injectFrontMatter(content []byte, title string, weight int) []byte {
+    // Already has front matter
+    if bytes.HasPrefix(bytes.TrimSpace(content), []byte("---")) {
+        return content
+    }
+    fm := fmt.Sprintf("---\ntitle: %q\nweight: %d\n---\n\n", title, weight)
+    return append([]byte(fm), content...)
+}
+
+// titleFromFilename derives a human-readable title from a filename.
+func titleFromFilename(filename string) string {
+    name := strings.TrimSuffix(filepath.Base(filename), ".md")
+    name = strings.ReplaceAll(name, "-", " ")
+    name = strings.ReplaceAll(name, "_", " ")
+    // Title case
+    words := strings.Fields(name)
+    for i, w := range words {
+        if len(w) > 0 {
+            words[i] = strings.ToUpper(w[:1]) + w[1:]
+        }
+    }
+    return strings.Join(words, " ")
+}
+```
+
+**Add `runHugoSync` function:**
+```go
+func runHugoSync(reg *repos.Registry, basePath string, outputDir string, dryRun bool) error {
+    if outputDir == "" {
+        outputDir = filepath.Join(basePath, "docs-site", "content")
+    }
+
+    // Scan all repos
+    var docsInfo []RepoDocInfo
+    for _, repo := range reg.List() {
+        if repo.Name == "core-template" || repo.Name == "core-claude" {
+            continue
+        }
+        info := scanRepoDocs(repo)
+        if info.HasDocs {

+        }
+    }
+
+    if len(docsInfo) == 0 {

+
+**Commit:**
+```bash
+git add cmd/docs/cmd_sync.go
+git commit -m "feat(docs): add --target hugo sync mode for core.help"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Test the full pipeline
+
+**No code changes.** Run the pipeline end-to-end.
+
+**Step 1:** Sync docs to Hugo:
+```bash
+cd /Users/snider/Code/host-uk
+core docs sync --target hugo --dry-run
+```
+Verify all 39 repos appear with correct section mappings.
+
+**Step 2:** Run actual sync:
+```bash
+core docs sync --target hugo
+```
+
+**Step 3:** Build and preview:
+```bash
+cd /Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site
+hugo server
+```
+Open `localhost:1313` and verify:
+- Landing page renders with section links
+- Getting Started section has CLI guides
+- CLI Reference section has command docs
+- Go Packages section has 18 packages with architecture/development/history
+- PHP Packages section has PHP module docs
+- Knowledge Base has MLX and i18n wiki pages
+- Navigation works, search works
+
+**Step 4:** Fix any issues found during preview.
+
+**Commit docs-site content:**
+```bash
+cd /Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site
+git add content/
+git commit -m "feat: sync initial content from 39 repos"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: BunnyCDN deployment config
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/hugo.toml`
+
+Add deployment target:
+
+```toml
+[deployment]
+[[deployment.targets]]
+name = "production"
+URL = "s3://core-help?endpoint=storage.bunnycdn.com&region=auto"
+```
+
+Add a `Taskfile.yml` for convenience:
+
+**Create:** `/Users/snider/Code/host-uk/docs-site/Taskfile.yml`
+```yaml
+version: '3'
+
+tasks:
+  dev:
+    desc: Start Hugo dev server
+    cmds:
+      - hugo server --buildDrafts
+
+  build:
+    desc: Build static site
+    cmds:
+      - hugo --minify
+
+  sync:
+    desc: Sync docs from all repos
+    dir: ..
+    cmds:
+      - core docs sync --target hugo
+
+  deploy:
+    desc: Build and deploy to BunnyCDN
+    cmds:

+      - hugo deploy --target production
+
+  clean:
+    desc: Remove generated content (keeps _index.md files)
+    cmds:
+      - find content -name "*.md" ! -name "_index.md" -delete
+```
+
+**Verify:** `task dev` starts the site.
+
+**Commit:**

+
+## Dependency Sequencing
+
+```
+Task 1 (Hugo scaffold) — independent, do first
+Task 2 (scan KB/) — independent, can parallel with Task 1
+Task 3 (--target hugo) — depends on Task 2
+Task 4 (test pipeline) — depends on Tasks 1 + 3
+Task 5 (deploy config) — depends on Task 1
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After all tasks:
+1. `core docs sync --target hugo` populates `docs-site/content/` from all repos
+2. `cd docs-site && hugo server` renders the full site
+3. Navigation has 6 sections: Getting Started, CLI, Go, MCP, PHP, KB
+4. All existing markdown renders correctly with auto-injected front matter
+5. `hugo build` produces `public/` with no errors

+# go-forge Design Document
+
+## Overview
+
+**go-forge** is a full-coverage Go client for the Forgejo API (450 endpoints, 284 paths, 229 types). It uses a generic `Resource[T, C, U]` pattern for CRUD operations (91% of endpoints) and hand-written methods for 39 unique action endpoints. Types are generated from Forgejo's `swagger.v1.json` spec.
+
+**Module path:** `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-forge`
+
+**Origin:** Extracted from `go-scm/forge/` (45 methods covering 10% of API), expanded to full coverage.

+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Generic Resource[T, C, U]
+
+Three type parameters: T (resource type), C (create options), U (update options).
+
+```go
+type Resource[T any, C any, U any] struct {
+    client *Client
+    path   string // e.g. "/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues"
+}
+
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) List(ctx context.Context, params Params, opts ListOptions) ([]T, error)
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) Get(ctx context.Context, params Params, id string) (*T, error)
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) Create(ctx context.Context, params Params, body *C) (*T, error)
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) Update(ctx context.Context, params Params, id string, body *U) (*T, error)
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) Delete(ctx context.Context, params Params, id string) error
+```
+
+`Params` is `map[string]string` resolving path variables: `{"owner": "core", "repo": "go-forge"}`.
+
+This covers 411 of 450 endpoints (91%).
+
+### 2. Service Structs Embed Resource
+
+```go
+type IssueService struct {
+    Resource[types.Issue, types.CreateIssueOption, types.EditIssueOption]
+}
+
+// CRUD comes free. Actions are hand-written:
+func (s *IssueService) Pin(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, index int64) error
+func (s *IssueService) SetDeadline(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, index int64, deadline *time.Time) error
+```
+
+### 3. Top-Level Forge Client
+
+```go
+type Forge struct {
+    client        *Client
+    Repos         *RepoService
+    Issues        *IssueService
+    Pulls         *PullService
+    Orgs          *OrgService
+    Users         *UserService
+    Teams         *TeamService
+    Admin         *AdminService
+    Branches      *BranchService
+    Releases      *ReleaseService
+    Labels        *LabelService
+    Webhooks      *WebhookService
+    Notifications *NotificationService
+    Packages      *PackageService
+    Actions       *ActionsService
+    Contents      *ContentService
+    Wiki          *WikiService
+    Commits       *CommitService
+    Misc          *MiscService
+}
+
+func NewForge(url, token string, opts ...Option) *Forge
+```
+
+### 4. Codegen from swagger.v1.json
+
+The `cmd/forgegen/` tool reads the OpenAPI 2.0 spec and generates:
+- Go struct definitions with JSON tags and doc comments
+- Enum constants
+- Type mapping (OpenAPI → Go)
+
+229 type definitions → ~25 grouped Go files in `types/`.
+
+Type mapping rules:
+| OpenAPI | Go |
+|---------|-----|
+| `string` | `string` |
+| `string` + `date-time` | `time.Time` |
+| `integer` + `int64` | `int64` |
+| `integer` | `int` |
+| `boolean` | `bool` |
+| `array` of T | `[]T` |
+| `$ref` | `*T` (pointer) |
+| nullable | pointer type |
+| `binary` | `[]byte` |
+
+### 5. HTTP Client
+
+```go
+type Client struct {
+    baseURL    string
+    token      string
+    httpClient *http.Client
+    userAgent  string
+}
+
+func New(url, token string, opts ...Option) *Client
+
+func (c *Client) Get(ctx context.Context, path string, out any) error
+func (c *Client) Post(ctx context.Context, path string, body, out any) error
+func (c *Client) Patch(ctx context.Context, path string, body, out any) error
+func (c *Client) Put(ctx context.Context, path string, body, out any) error
+func (c *Client) Delete(ctx context.Context, path string) error
+```
+
+Options: `WithHTTPClient`, `WithUserAgent`, `WithRateLimit`, `WithLogger`.
+
+### 6. Pagination
+
+Forgejo uses `page` + `limit` query params and `X-Total-Count` response header.
+
+```go
+type ListOptions struct {
+    Page  int
+    Limit int // default 50, max configurable
+}
+
+type PagedResult[T any] struct {
+    Items      []T
+    TotalCount int
+    Page       int
+    HasMore    bool
+}
+
+// ListAll fetches all pages automatically.
+func (r *Resource[T, C, U]) ListAll(ctx context.Context, params Params) ([]T, error)
+```
+
+### 7. Error Handling
+
+```go
+type APIError struct {
+    StatusCode int
+    Message    string
+    URL        string
+}
+
+func IsNotFound(err error) bool
+func IsForbidden(err error) bool
+func IsConflict(err error) bool
+```
+
+### 8. Config Resolution (from go-scm/forge)
+
+Priority: flags → environment → config file.
+
+```go
+func NewFromConfig(flagURL, flagToken string) (*Forge, error)
+func ResolveConfig(flagURL, flagToken string) (url, token string, err error)
+func SaveConfig(url, token string) error
+```
+
+Env vars: `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`. Config file: `~/.config/forge/config.json`.
+
+## API Coverage
+
+| Category | Endpoints | CRUD | Actions |
+|----------|-----------|------|---------|
+| Repository | 175 | 165 | 10 (fork, mirror, transfer, template, avatar, diffpatch) |
+| User | 74 | 70 | 4 (avatar, GPG verify) |
+| Issue | 67 | 57 | 10 (pin, deadline, reactions, stopwatch, labels) |
+| Organisation | 63 | 59 | 4 (avatar, block/unblock) |
+| Admin | 39 | 35 | 4 (cron run, rename, adopt, quota set) |
+| Miscellaneous | 12 | 7 | 5 (markdown render, markup, nodeinfo) |
+| Notification | 7 | 7 | 0 |
+| ActivityPub | 6 | 3 | 3 (inbox POST) |
+| Package | 4 | 4 | 0 |
+| Settings | 4 | 4 | 0 |
+| **Total** | **450** | **411** | **39** |
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### go-api
+
+Services implement `DescribableGroup` from go-api Phase 3, enabling:
+- REST endpoint generation via ToolBridge
+- Auto-generated OpenAPI spec
+- Multi-language SDK codegen
+
+### go-scm
+
+go-scm/forge/ becomes a thin adapter importing go-forge types. Existing go-scm users are unaffected — the multi-provider abstraction layer stays.
+
+### go-ai/mcp
+
+The MCP subsystem can register go-forge operations as MCP tools, giving AI agents full Forgejo API access.
+
+## 39 Unique Action Methods
+
+These require hand-written implementation:
+
+**Repository:** migrate, fork, generate (template), transfer, accept/reject transfer, mirror sync, push mirror sync, avatar, diffpatch, contents (multi-file modify)
+
+**Pull Requests:** merge, update (rebase), submit review, dismiss/undismiss review
+
+**Issues:** pin, set deadline, add reaction, start/stop stopwatch, add issue labels
+
+**Comments:** add reaction
+
+**Admin:** run cron task, adopt unadopted, rename user, set quota groups
+
+**Misc:** render markdown, render raw markdown, render markup, GPG key verify
+
+**ActivityPub:** inbox POST (actor, repo, user)
+
+**Actions:** dispatch workflow
+
+**Git:** set note on commit, test webhook

 # MCP Integration Implementation Plan
 
+> **Status:** Completed. MCP command now lives in `go-ai/cmd/mcpcmd/`. Code examples below use the old `init()` + `RegisterCommands()` pattern — the current approach uses `cli.WithCommands()` (see cli-meta-package-design.md).

 > **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
 
 **Goal:** Add `core mcp serve` command with RAG and metrics tools, then configure the agentic-flows plugin to use it.

+# go-api Design — HTTP Gateway + OpenAPI SDK Generation
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-20
+**Author:** Virgil
+**Status:** Phase 1 + Phase 2 + Phase 3 Complete (176 tests in go-api)
+**Module:** `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-api`
+
+## Problem
+
+The Core Go ecosystem exposes 42+ tools via MCP (JSON-RPC), which is ideal for AI agents but inaccessible to regular HTTP clients, frontend applications, and third-party integrators. There is no unified HTTP gateway, no OpenAPI specification, and no generated SDKs.
+
+Both external customers (Host UK products) and Lethean network peers need programmatic access to the same services. The gateway also serves web routes, static assets, and streaming endpoints — not just REST APIs.
+
+## Solution
+
+A `go-api` package that acts as the central HTTP gateway:
+
+1. **Gin-based HTTP gateway** with extensible middleware via gin-contrib plugins
+2. **RouteGroup interface** that subsystems implement to register their own endpoints (API, web, or both)
+3. **WebSocket + SSE integration** for real-time streaming
+4. **OpenAPI 3.1 spec generation** via runtime SpecBuilder (not swaggo annotations)
+5. **SDK generation pipeline** targeting 11 languages via openapi-generator-cli
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Four-Protocol Access
+
+Same backend services, four client protocols:
+
+```
+                    ┌─── REST (go-api)      POST /v1/ml/generate → JSON
+                    │
+                    ├─── GraphQL (gqlgen)   mutation { mlGenerate(...) { response } }
+Client ────────────┤
+                    ├─── WebSocket (go-ws)  subscribe ml.generate → streaming
+                    │
+                    └─── MCP (go-ai)        ml_generate → JSON-RPC
+```
+
+### Dependency Graph
+
+```
+go-api (Gin engine + middleware + OpenAPI)
+    ↑ imported by (each registers its own routes)
+    ├── go-ai/api/       → /v1/file/*, /v1/process/*, /v1/metrics/*
+    ├── go-ml/api/       → /v1/ml/*
+    ├── go-rag/api/      → /v1/rag/*
+    ├── go-agentic/api/  → /v1/tasks/*
+    ├── go-help/api/     → /v1/help/*
+    └── go-ws/api/       → /ws (WebSocket upgrade)
+```
+
+go-api has zero internal ecosystem dependencies. Subsystems import go-api, not the other way round.
+
+### Subsystem Opt-In
+
+Not every MCP tool becomes a REST endpoint. Each subsystem decides what to expose via a separate `RegisterAPI()` method, independent of MCP's `RegisterTools()`. A subsystem with 15 MCP tools might expose 5 REST endpoints.
+

+## Core Interface
+
+```go
+// RouteGroup registers API routes onto a Gin router group.
+// Subsystems implement this to expose their endpoints.
+type RouteGroup interface {
+    // Name returns the route group identifier (e.g. "ml", "rag", "tasks")
+    Name() string
+    // BasePath returns the URL prefix (e.g. "/v1/ml")
+    BasePath() string
+    // RegisterRoutes adds handlers to the provided router group
+    RegisterRoutes(rg *gin.RouterGroup)
+}
+
+// StreamGroup optionally declares WebSocket channels a subsystem publishes to.
+type StreamGroup interface {
+    Channels() []string
+}
+```
+
+### Subsystem Example (go-ml)
+
+```go
+// In go-ml/api/routes.go
+package api
+
+type Routes struct {
+    service *ml.Service
+}
+
+func NewRoutes(svc *ml.Service) *Routes {
+    return &Routes{service: svc}
+}
+
+func (r *Routes) Name() string     { return "ml" }
+func (r *Routes) BasePath() string { return "/v1/ml" }
+
+func (r *Routes) RegisterRoutes(rg *gin.RouterGroup) {
+    rg.POST("/generate", r.Generate)
+    rg.POST("/score", r.Score)
+    rg.GET("/backends", r.Backends)
+    rg.GET("/status", r.Status)
+}
+
+func (r *Routes) Channels() []string {
+    return []string{"ml.generate", "ml.status"}
+}
+
+// @Summary Generate text via ML backend
+// @Tags ml
+// @Accept json
+// @Produce json
+// @Param input body MLGenerateInput true "Generation parameters"
+// @Success 200 {object} Response[MLGenerateOutput]
+// @Router /v1/ml/generate [post]
+func (r *Routes) Generate(c *gin.Context) {
+    var input MLGenerateInput
+    if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&input); err != nil {
+        c.JSON(400, api.Fail("invalid_input", err.Error()))
+        return
+    }
+    result, err := r.service.Generate(c.Request.Context(), input.Backend, input.Prompt, ml.GenOpts{
+        Temperature: input.Temperature,
+        MaxTokens:   input.MaxTokens,
+        Model:       input.Model,
+    })
+    if err != nil {
+        c.JSON(500, api.Fail("ml.generate_failed", err.Error()))
+        return
+    }
+    c.JSON(200, api.OK(MLGenerateOutput{
+        Response: result,
+        Backend:  input.Backend,
+        Model:    input.Model,
+    }))
+}
+```
+
+### Engine Wiring (in core CLI)
+
+```go
+engine := api.New(
+    api.WithAddr(":8080"),
+    api.WithCORS("*"),
+    api.WithAuth(api.BearerToken(cfg.APIKey)),
+    api.WithRateLimit(100, time.Minute),
+    api.WithWSHub(wsHub),
+)
+
+engine.Register(mlapi.NewRoutes(mlService))
+engine.Register(ragapi.NewRoutes(ragService))
+engine.Register(agenticapi.NewRoutes(agenticService))
+
+engine.Serve(ctx)  // Blocks until context cancelled
+```
+
+## Response Envelope
+
+All endpoints return a consistent envelope:
+
+```go
+type Response[T any] struct {
+    Success bool   `json:"success"`
+    Data    T      `json:"data,omitempty"`
+    Error   *Error `json:"error,omitempty"`
+    Meta    *Meta  `json:"meta,omitempty"`
+}
+
+type Error struct {
+    Code    string `json:"code"`
+    Message string `json:"message"`
+    Details any    `json:"details,omitempty"`
+}
+
+type Meta struct {
+    RequestID string `json:"request_id"`
+    Duration  string `json:"duration"`
+    Page      int    `json:"page,omitempty"`
+    PerPage   int    `json:"per_page,omitempty"`
+    Total     int    `json:"total,omitempty"`
+}
+```
+
+Helper functions:
+
+```go
+func OK[T any](data T) Response[T]
+func Fail(code, message string) Response[any]
+func Paginated[T any](data T, page, perPage, total int) Response[T]
+```
+
+## Middleware Stack
+
+```go
+api.New(
+    api.WithAddr(":8080"),
+    api.WithCORS(api.CORSConfig{...}),         // gin-contrib/cors
+    api.WithAuth(api.BearerToken("...")),       // Phase 1: simple bearer token
+    api.WithRateLimit(100, time.Minute),        // Per-IP sliding window
+    api.WithRequestID(),                        // X-Request-ID header generation
+    api.WithRecovery(),                         // Panic recovery → 500 response
+    api.WithLogger(slog.Default()),             // Structured request logging
+)
+```
+
+Auth evolution path: bearer token → API keys → Authentik (OIDC/forward auth). Middleware slot stays the same.
+
+## WebSocket Integration
+
+go-api wraps the existing go-ws Hub as a first-class transport:
+
+```go
+// Automatic registration:
+// GET /ws → WebSocket upgrade (go-ws Hub)
+
+// Client subscribes:   {"type":"subscribe","channel":"ml.generate"}
+// Events arrive:       {"type":"event","channel":"ml.generate","data":{...}}
+// Client unsubscribes: {"type":"unsubscribe","channel":"ml.generate"}
+```
+
+Subsystems implementing `StreamGroup` declare which channels they publish to. This metadata feeds into the OpenAPI spec as documentation.
+
+## OpenAPI + SDK Generation
+
+### Runtime Spec Generation (SpecBuilder)
+
+swaggo annotations were rejected because routes are dynamic via RouteGroup, Response[T] generics break swaggo, and MCP tools already carry JSON Schema at runtime. Instead, a `SpecBuilder` constructs the full OpenAPI 3.1 spec from registered RouteGroups at runtime.
+
+```go
+// Groups that implement DescribableGroup contribute endpoint metadata
+type DescribableGroup interface {
+    RouteGroup
+    Describe() []RouteDescription
+}
+
+// SpecBuilder assembles the spec from all groups
+builder := &api.SpecBuilder{Title: "Core API", Description: "...", Version: "1.0.0"}
+spec, _ := builder.Build(engine.Groups())
+```
+
+### MCP-to-REST Bridge (ToolBridge)
+
+The `ToolBridge` converts MCP tool descriptors into REST POST endpoints and implements both `RouteGroup` and `DescribableGroup`. Each tool becomes `POST /{tool_name}`. Generic types are captured at MCP registration time via closures, enabling JSON unmarshalling to the correct input type at request time.
+
+```go
+bridge := api.NewToolBridge("/v1/tools")
+mcp.BridgeToAPI(mcpService, bridge)  // Populates bridge from MCP tool registry
+engine.Register(bridge)              // Registers REST endpoints + OpenAPI metadata
+```
+
+### Swagger UI

+
+| Component | Option | Dependency | Tests | Notes |

+
+**Phase 2 complete.** All 4 waves implemented. Every planned plugin has a `With*()` option and tests.
+
+## Phase 3 — OpenAPI Spec Generation + SDK Codegen (21 Feb 2026)
+
+**Architecture:** Runtime OpenAPI generation via SpecBuilder (NOT swaggo annotations). Routes are dynamic via RouteGroup, Response[T] generics break swaggo, and MCP tools carry JSON Schema at runtime. A `ToolBridge` converts tool descriptors into RouteGroup + OpenAPI metadata. A `SpecBuilder` constructs the full OpenAPI 3.1 spec. SDK codegen wraps `openapi-generator-cli`.
+
+### Wave 1: go-api (Tasks 1-5)
+
+**Commits:** `465bd60..1910aec` on Forge (`core/go-api`)
+

+| ToolBridge | `bridge.go` | 6 | Tool descriptors → POST endpoints + DescribableGroup |
+| SpecBuilder | `openapi.go` | 6 | OpenAPI 3.1 JSON with Response[T] envelope wrapping |
+| Swagger refactor | `swagger.go` | 5 | Replaced hardcoded empty spec with SpecBuilder |
+| Spec export | `export.go` | 5 | JSON + YAML export to file/writer |
+| SDK codegen | `codegen.go` | 5 | 11-language wrapper for openapi-generator-cli |
+| **Wave 1 Total** | | **32** | |
+
+### Wave 2: go-ai MCP bridge (Tasks 6-7)
+
+**Commits:** `2107eda..c37e1cf` on Forge (`core/go-ai`)
+
+| Component | File | Tests | Notes |
+|-----------|------|-------|-------|
+| Tool registry | `mcp/registry.go` | 5 | Generic `addToolRecorded[In,Out]` captures types in closures |
+| BridgeToAPI | `mcp/bridge.go` | 5 | MCP tools → go-api ToolBridge, 10MB body limit, error classification |
+| **Wave 2 Total** | | **10** | |
+
+### Wave 3: CLI commands (Tasks 8-9)
+
+**Commit:** `d6eec4d` on Forge (`core/cli` dev branch)
+
+| Component | File | Tests | Notes |
+|-----------|------|-------|-------|
+| `core api spec` | `cmd/api/cmd_spec.go` | 2 | JSON/YAML export, --output/--format flags |
+| `core api sdk` | `cmd/api/cmd_sdk.go` | 2 | --lang (required), --output, --spec, --package flags |
+| **Wave 3 Total** | | **4** | |
+
+**Cumulative go-api:** 176 passing tests. **Phase 3 complete.**
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- **Subsystem tools excluded from bridge:** Subsystems call `mcp.AddTool` directly, bypassing `addToolRecorded`. Only the 10 built-in MCP tools appear in the REST bridge. Future: pass `*Service` to `RegisterTools` instead of `*mcp.Server`.
+- **Flat schema only:** `structSchema` reflection handles flat structs but does not recurse into nested structs. Adequate for current tool inputs.
+- **CLI spec produces empty bridge:** `core api spec` currently generates a spec with only `/health`. Full MCP integration requires wiring the MCP service into the CLI command.
+
+## Phase 2 — Gin Plugin Roadmap (Complete)
+
+All plugins drop in as `With*()` options on the Engine. No architecture changes needed.
+
+### Security & Auth
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~**Authentik**~~ | ~~`WithAuthentik()`~~ | ~~OIDC + forward auth integration.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/secure~~ | ~~`WithSecure()`~~ | ~~Security headers: HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, CSP.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/sessions~~ | ~~`WithSessions()`~~ | ~~Server-side sessions (cookie store). Web session management alongside Authentik tokens.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/authz~~ | ~~`WithAuthz()`~~ | ~~Casbin-based authorisation. Policy-driven access control via RBAC.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/httpsign~~ | ~~`WithHTTPSign()`~~ | ~~HTTP signature verification. HMAC-SHA256 with extensible options.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+
+### Performance & Reliability
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~gin-contrib/cache~~ | ~~`WithCache()`~~ | ~~Response caching (in-memory). GET response caching with TTL, lazy eviction.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/timeout~~ | ~~`WithTimeout()`~~ | ~~Per-request timeouts.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/gzip~~ | ~~`WithGzip()`~~ | ~~Gzip response compression.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/brotli~~ | ~~`WithBrotli()`~~ | ~~Brotli compression via `andybalholm/brotli`. Custom middleware (gin-contrib stub empty).~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+
+### Observability
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~gin-contrib/slog~~ | ~~`WithSlog()`~~ | ~~Structured request logging via slog.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/pprof~~ | ~~`WithPprof()`~~ | ~~Runtime profiling endpoints at /debug/pprof/. Flag-based mount.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/expvar~~ | ~~`WithExpvar()`~~ | ~~Go runtime metrics at /debug/vars. Flag-based mount.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~otelgin~~ | ~~`WithTracing()`~~ | ~~OpenTelemetry distributed tracing. W3C traceparent propagation.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+
+### Content & Streaming
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~gin-contrib/static~~ | ~~`WithStatic()`~~ | ~~Serve static files.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| ~~gin-contrib/sse~~ | ~~`WithSSE()`~~ | ~~Server-Sent Events. Custom SSEBroker with channel filtering, GET /events.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |

+
+### Query Layer
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~99designs/gqlgen~~ | ~~`WithGraphQL()`~~ | ~~GraphQL endpoint at `/graphql` + optional playground. Accepts gqlgen ExecutableSchema.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+
+The GraphQL schema can be generated from the same Go Input/Output structs that define the REST endpoints. gqlgen produces an `http.Handler` that mounts directly on Gin. Subsystems opt-in via:
+
+```go
+// Subsystems that want GraphQL implement this alongside RouteGroup
+type ResolverGroup interface {
+    // RegisterResolvers adds query/mutation resolvers to the GraphQL schema
+    RegisterResolvers(schema *graphql.Schema)
+}
+```
+
+This means a subsystem like go-ml exposes:
+- **REST:** `POST /v1/ml/generate` (existing)
+- **GraphQL:** `mutation { mlGenerate(prompt: "...", backend: "mlx") { response, model } }` (same handler)
+- **MCP:** `ml_generate` tool (existing)
+
+Four protocols, one set of handlers.
+
+### Ecosystem Integration
+
+| Plugin | Option | Purpose | Priority |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| ~~gin-contrib/i18n~~ | ~~`WithI18n()`~~ | ~~Locale detection via Accept-Language. Custom middleware using `golang.org/x/text/language`.~~ | ~~**Done**~~ |
+| [gin-contrib/graceful](https://github.com/gin-contrib/graceful) | — | Already implemented in Engine.Serve(). Could swap to this for more robust lifecycle management if needed. | — |
+| [gin-contrib/requestid](https://github.com/gin-contrib/requestid) | — | Already implemented. Theirs uses UUID, ours uses hex. Could swap for standards compliance. | — |
+
+### Implementation Order
+
+**Wave 1 (gateway hardening):** ~~Authentik, secure, slog, timeout, gzip, static~~ **DONE** (20 Feb 2026)
+**Wave 2 (performance + auth):** ~~cache, sessions, authz, brotli~~ **DONE** (20 Feb 2026)
+**Wave 3 (network + streaming):** ~~httpsign, sse, location, i18n, gqlgen~~ **DONE** (20 Feb 2026)
+**Wave 4 (observability):** ~~pprof, expvar, tracing~~ **DONE** (21 Feb 2026)
+
+Each wave adds `With*()` options + tests. No breaking changes — existing code continues to work without any new options enabled.
+
+## Authentik Integration
+
+[Authentik](https://goauthentik.io/) is the identity provider and edge auth proxy. It handles user registration, login, MFA, social auth, SAML, and OIDC — so go-api doesn't have to.
+
+### Two Integration Modes
+
+**1. Forward Auth (web traffic)**
+
+Traefik sits in front of go-api. For web routes, Traefik's `forwardAuth` middleware checks with Authentik before passing the request through. Authentik handles login flows, session cookies, and consent. go-api receives pre-authenticated requests with identity headers.
+
+```
+Browser → Traefik → Authentik (forward auth) → go-api
+                         ↓
+                    Login page (if unauthenticated)
+```
+
+go-api reads trusted headers set by Authentik:
+```
+X-Authentik-Username: alice
+X-Authentik-Groups: admins,developers
+X-Authentik-Email: alice@example.com
+X-Authentik-Uid: <uuid>
+X-Authentik-Jwt: <signed token>
+```
+
+**2. OIDC Token Validation (API traffic)**
+
+API clients (SDKs, CLI tools, network peers) authenticate directly with Authentik's OAuth2 token endpoint, then send the JWT to go-api. go-api validates the JWT using Authentik's OIDC discovery endpoint (`.well-known/openid-configuration`).
+
+```
+SDK client → Authentik (token endpoint) → receives JWT
+SDK client → go-api (Authorization: Bearer <jwt>) → validates via OIDC
+```
+
+### Implementation in go-api
+
+```go
+engine := api.New(
+    api.WithAuthentik(api.AuthentikConfig{
+        Issuer:       "https://auth.lthn.ai/application/o/core-api/",
+        ClientID:     "core-api",
+        TrustedProxy: true,  // Trust X-Authentik-* headers from Traefik
+    }),
+)
+```
+
+`WithAuthentik()` adds middleware that:
+1. Checks for `X-Authentik-Jwt` header (forward auth mode) — validates signature, extracts claims
+2. Falls back to `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` header (direct OIDC mode) — validates via JWKS
+3. Populates `c.Set("user", AuthentikUser{...})` in the Gin context for handlers to use
+4. Skips /health, /swagger, and any public paths
+
+```go
+// In any handler:
+func (r *Routes) ListItems(c *gin.Context) {
+    user := api.GetUser(c)  // Returns *AuthentikUser or nil
+    if user == nil {
+        c.JSON(401, api.Fail("unauthorised", "Authentication required"))
+        return
+    }
+    // user.Username, user.Groups, user.Email, user.UID available
+}
+```
+
+### Auth Layers
+
+```
+Authentik (identity)     → WHO is this? (user, groups, email)
+    ↓
+go-api middleware         → IS their token valid? (JWT verification)
+    ↓
+Casbin authz (optional)  → CAN they do this? (role → endpoint policies)
+    ↓
+Handler                   → DOES this (business logic)
+```
+
+Phase 1 bearer auth continues to work alongside Authentik — useful for service-to-service tokens, CI/CD, and development. `WithBearerAuth` and `WithAuthentik` can coexist.
+
+### Authentik Deployment
+
+Authentik runs as a Docker service alongside go-api, fronted by Traefik:
+- **auth.lthn.ai** — Authentik UI + OIDC endpoints (production)
+- **auth.leth.in** — Authentik for devnet/testnet
+- Traefik routes `/outpost.goauthentik.io/` to Authentik's embedded outpost for forward auth
+
+### Dependencies
+
+| Package | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `github.com/coreos/go-oidc/v3` | OIDC discovery + JWT validation |
+| `golang.org/x/oauth2` | OAuth2 token exchange (for server-side flows) |
+
+Both are standard Go libraries with no heavy dependencies.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- gRPC gateway
+- Built-in user registration/login (Authentik handles this)
+- API versioning beyond /v1/ prefix
+

+# CLI Meta-Package Restructure — Design
+
+**Goal:** Transform `core/cli` from a 35K LOC monolith into a thin assembly repo that ships variant binaries. Domain repos own their commands. `go/pkg/cli` is the only import any domain package needs for CLI concerns.
+
+**Architecture:** Commands register as framework services via `cli.WithCommands()`, passed to `cli.Main()`. Command code lives in the domain repos that own the business logic. The cli repo is a thin `main.go` that wires them together.
+
+**Tech Stack:** go/pkg/cli (wraps cobra + charmbracelet), Core framework lifecycle, Taskfile
+
+---
+
+## 1. CLI SDK — The Single Import
+
+`forge.lthn.ai/core/go/pkg/cli` is the **only** import domain packages use for CLI concerns. It wraps cobra, charmbracelet, and stdlib behind a stable API. If the underlying libraries change, only `go/pkg/cli` is touched — every domain repo is insulated.
+
+### Already done
+
+- **Cobra:** `Command` type alias, `NewCommand()`, `NewGroup()`, `NewRun()`, flag helpers (`StringFlag`, `BoolFlag`, `IntFlag`, `StringSliceFlag`), arg validators
+- **Output:** `Success()`, `Error()`, `Warn()`, `Info()`, `Table`, `Section()`, `Label()`, `Task()`, `Hint()`
+- **Prompts:** `Confirm()`, `Question()`, `Choose()`, `ChooseMulti()` with grammar-based action variants
+- **Styles:** 17 pre-built styles, `AnsiStyle` builder, Tailwind colour constants (47 hex values)
+- **Glyphs:** `:check:`, `:cross:`, `:warn:` etc. with Unicode/Emoji/ASCII themes
+- **Layout:** HLCRF composite renderer (Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer)
+- **Errors:** `Wrap()`, `WrapVerb()`, `ExitError`, `Is()`, `As()`
+- **Logging:** `LogDebug()`, `LogInfo()`, `LogWarn()`, `LogError()`, `LogSecurity()`
+- **TUI primitives:** `Spinner`, `ProgressBar`, `InteractiveList`, `TextInput`, `Viewport`, `RunTUI`
+- **Command registration:** `WithCommands(name, fn)` — registers commands as framework services
+
+### Stubbed for later (interface exists, returns simple fallback)
+
+- `Form(fields []FormField) (map[string]string, error)` — multi-field form (backed by huh later)
+- `FilePicker(opts ...FilePickerOption) (string, error)` — file browser
+- `Tabs(items []TabItem) error` — tabbed content panes
+
+### Rule
+
+Domain packages import `forge.lthn.ai/core/go/pkg/cli` and **nothing else** for CLI concerns. No `cobra`, no `lipgloss`, no `bubbletea`.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Command Registration — Framework Lifecycle
+
+Commands register through the Core framework's service lifecycle, not through global state or `init()` functions.
+
+### The contract
+
+Each domain repo exports an `Add*Commands(root *cli.Command)` function. The CLI binary wires it in via `cli.WithCommands()`:
+
+```go
+// go-ai/cmd/daemon/cmd.go
+package daemon
+
+import "forge.lthn.ai/core/go/pkg/cli"
+
+// AddDaemonCommand adds the 'daemon' command group to the root.
+func AddDaemonCommand(root *cli.Command) {
+    daemonCmd := cli.NewGroup("daemon", "Manage the core daemon", "")
+    root.AddCommand(daemonCmd)
+    // subcommands...
+}
+```
+
+No `init()`. No blank imports. No `cli.RegisterCommands()`.
+
+### How it works
+
+`cli.WithCommands(name, fn)` wraps the registration function as a framework service implementing `Startable`. During `Core.ServiceStartup()`, the service's `OnStartup()` casts `Core.App` to `*cobra.Command` and calls the registration function. Core services (i18n, log, workspace) start first since they're registered before command services.
+
+```go
+// cli/main.go
+func main() {
+    cli.Main(
+        cli.WithCommands("config", config.AddConfigCommands),
+        cli.WithCommands("doctor", doctor.AddDoctorCommands),
+        // ...
+    )
+}
+```
+
+### Migration status (completed)
+
+| Source | Destination | Status |
+|--------|-------------|--------|
+| `cmd/dev, setup, qa, docs, gitcmd, monitor` | `go-devops/cmd/` | Done |

+
+### Stays in cli/ (meta/framework commands)
+
+`config`, `doctor`, `help`, `module`, `pkgcmd`, `plugin`, `session`
+
+---
+
+## 3. Variant Binaries (future)
+
+The cli/ repo can produce variant binaries by creating multiple `main.go` files that wire different sets of commands.
+
+```

+Each variant calls `cli.Main()` with its specific `cli.WithCommands()` set. No blank imports needed.
+
+### Why variants matter
+
+- `core-mlx` ships to the homelab as a ~10MB binary, not 50MB with devops/forge/netops
+- `core-ci` deploys to agent machines without ML or CGO dependencies
+- Adding a new variant = one new `main.go` with the right `WithCommands` calls
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current State
+
+cli/ has 7 meta packages, one `main.go`, and zero business logic. Everything else lives in the domain repos that own it. Total cli/ LOC is ~2K.

+# CLI Meta-Package Restructure — Completed
+
+**Completed:** 22 Feb 2026
+
+## What Was Done
+
+`pkg/cli` was extracted from `core/go` into its own Go module at `forge.lthn.ai/core/cli`. This made the CLI SDK a first-class, independently versioned package rather than a subdirectory of the Go foundation repo.
+
+Following the extraction, an ecosystem-wide import path migration updated all consumers from the old path to the new one:
+
+- Old: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go/pkg/cli`
+- New: `forge.lthn.ai/core/cli/pkg/cli`
+
+## Scope
+
+- **147+ files** updated across **10 repos**
+- All repos build clean after migration
+
+## Repos Migrated
+
+`core/cli`, `core/go`, `go-devops`, `go-ai`, `go-agentic`, `go-crypt`, `go-rag`, `go-scm`, `go-api`, `go-update`
+
+## Key Outcomes
+
+- `forge.lthn.ai/core/cli/pkg/cli` is the single import for all CLI concerns across the ecosystem
+- Domain repos are insulated from cobra, lipgloss, and bubbletea — only `pkg/cli` imports them
+- Command registration uses the Core framework lifecycle via `cli.WithCommands()` — no `init()`, no global state
+- `core/cli` is a thin assembly repo (~2K LOC) with 7 meta packages; all business logic lives in domain repos
+- Variant binary pattern established: multiple `main.go` files can wire different `WithCommands` sets for targeted binaries (core-ci, core-mlx, core-ops, etc.)
+- Command migration from the old `core/cli` monolith to domain repos was completed in full (13 command groups moved)

+# go-api — Completion Summary
+
+**Completed:** 21 February 2026
+**Module:** `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-api`
+**Status:** Phases 1–3 complete, 176 tests passing
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### Phase 1 — Core Framework (20 Feb 2026)
+
+Gin-based HTTP engine with extensible middleware via `With*()` options. Key components:
+
+- `RouteGroup` / `StreamGroup` interfaces — subsystems register their own endpoints
+- `Response[T]` envelope — `OK()`, `Fail()`, `Paginated()` generics
+- `Engine` — `New()`, `Register()`, `Handler()`, `Serve()` with graceful shutdown
+- Bearer auth, request ID, and CORS middleware
+- WebSocket endpoint wrapping a `go-ws` Hub
+- Swagger UI at `/swagger/` with runtime spec serving
+- `/health` endpoint always available without auth
+- First integration proof in `go-ml/api/` (3 endpoints, 12 tests)
+
+### Phase 2 — Gin Plugin Stack (20–21 Feb 2026)
+
+17 middleware plugins added across four waves, all as drop-in `With*()` options:
+
+| Wave | Plugins |
+|------|---------|
+| 1 — Gateway hardening | Authentik (OIDC + forward auth), secure headers, structured slog, timeouts, gzip, static files |
+| 2 — Performance + auth | Brotli compression, in-memory response cache, server-side sessions, Casbin RBAC |
+| 3 — Network + streaming | HTTP signature verification, SSE broker, reverse proxy detection, i18n locale, GraphQL |
+| 4 — Observability | pprof, expvar, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing |
+
+### Phase 3 — OpenAPI + SDK Codegen (21 Feb 2026)
+
+Runtime spec generation (not swaggo annotations — incompatible with dynamic RouteGroups and `Response[T]` generics):
+
+- `DescribableGroup` interface — opt-in OpenAPI metadata for route groups
+- `ToolBridge` — converts MCP tool descriptors into `POST /{tool_name}` REST endpoints
+- `SpecBuilder` — assembles full OpenAPI 3.1 JSON from registered groups at runtime
+- Spec export to JSON and YAML (`core api spec`)
+- SDK codegen wrapper for openapi-generator-cli, 11 languages (`core api sdk --lang go`)
+- `go-ai` `mcp/registry.go` — generic `addToolRecorded[In,Out]` captures types in closures
+- `go-ai` `mcp/bridge.go` — `BridgeToAPI()` populates ToolBridge from MCP tool registry
+- CLI commands: `core api spec`, `core api sdk` (in `core/cli` dev branch)
+
+## Key Outcomes
+
+- **176 tests** across go-api (143), go-ai bridge (10), and CLI commands (4), all passing
+- Zero internal ecosystem dependencies — subsystems import go-api, not the reverse
+- Authentik (OIDC) and bearer token auth coexist; Casbin adds RBAC on top
+- Four-protocol access pattern established: REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, MCP — same handlers
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- Subsystem MCP tools registered via `mcp.AddTool` directly are excluded from the REST bridge (only the 10 built-in tools appear). Fix: pass `*Service` to `RegisterTools` instead of `*mcp.Server`.
+- `structSchema` reflection handles flat structs only; nested structs are not recursed.
+- `core api spec` currently emits a spec with only `/health`; full MCP wiring into the CLI command is pending.

+# MCP Integration — Completion Summary
+
+**Completed:** 2026-02-05
+**Plan:** `docs/plans/2026-02-05-mcp-integration.md`
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### RAG Tools (`pkg/mcp/tools_rag.go`)
+Three MCP tools added to the existing `pkg/mcp` server:
+- `rag_query` — semantic search against Qdrant vector DB
+- `rag_ingest` — ingest a file or directory into a named collection
+- `rag_collections` — list available Qdrant collections (with optional stats)
+
+### Metrics Tools (`pkg/mcp/tools_metrics.go`)
+Two MCP tools for agent activity tracking:
+- `metrics_record` — write a typed event (agent_id, repo, arbitrary data) to JSONL storage
+- `metrics_query` — query events with aggregation by type, repo, and agent; supports human-friendly duration strings (7d, 24h)
+
+Also added `parseDuration()` helper for "Nd"/"Nh"/"Nm" duration strings.
+
+### `core mcp serve` Command (`internal/cmd/mcpcmd/cmd_mcp.go`)
+New CLI sub-command registered via `cli.WithCommands()` (not `init()`).
+- Runs `pkg/mcp` server over stdio by default
+- TCP mode via `MCP_ADDR=:9000` environment variable
+- `--workspace` flag to restrict file operations to a directory
+
+Registered in the full CLI variant. i18n strings added for all user-facing text.
+
+### Plugin Configuration
+`.mcp.json` created for the `agentic-flows` Claude Code plugin, pointing to `core mcp serve`. Exposes all 15 tools to Claude Code agents via the `core-cli` MCP server name.
+
+## Key Outcomes
+
+- `core mcp serve` is the single entry point for all MCP tooling (file ops, RAG, metrics, language detection, process management, WebSocket, webview/CDP)
+- MCP command moved to `go-ai/cmd/mcpcmd/` in final form; the plan's `internal/cmd/mcpcmd/` path reflects the pre-extraction location
+- Registration pattern updated from `init()` + `RegisterCommands()` to `cli.WithCommands()` lifecycle hooks
+- Services required at runtime: Qdrant (localhost:6333), Ollama with nomic-embed-text (localhost:11434)

+# Q/K Bone Orientation — Completion Summary
+
+**Completed:** 23 February 2026
+**Repos:** go-inference, go-mlx, go-ml, LEM
+**Status:** All 7 tasks complete, 14 files changed (+917 lines), all tests passing
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### go-inference — AttentionSnapshot types (Task 1)
+
+`AttentionSnapshot` struct and `AttentionInspector` optional interface. Backends expose attention data via type assertion — no breaking changes to `TextModel`.
+
+### go-mlx — KV cache extraction (Task 2)
+
+`InspectAttention` on `metalAdapter` runs a single prefill pass and extracts post-RoPE K vectors from each layer's KV cache. Tested against real Gemma3-1B (26 layers, 1 KV head via GQA, 256 head dim).
+
+### go-ml — Adapter pass-through (Task 3)
+
+`InspectAttention` on `InferenceAdapter` type-asserts the underlying `TextModel` to `AttentionInspector`. Returns clear error for unsupported backends.
+
+### LEM — Analysis engine (Task 4)
+
+Pure Go CPU math in `pkg/lem/attention.go`. Computes 5 BO metrics from raw K tensors:
+
+- **Mean Coherence** — pairwise cosine similarity of K vectors within each layer
+- **Cross-Layer Alignment** — cosine similarity of mean K vectors between adjacent layers
+- **Head Entropy** — normalised Shannon entropy of K vector magnitudes across positions
+- **Phase-Lock Score** — fraction of head pairs above coherence threshold (0.7)
+- **Joint Collapse Count** — layers where cross-alignment drops below threshold (0.5)
+
+Composite score: 30% coherence + 25% cross-alignment + 20% phase-lock + 15% entropy + 10% joint stability → 0-100 scale.
+
+### LEM — CLI command (Task 5)
+
+`lem score attention -model <path> -prompt <text> [-json]` loads a model, runs InspectAttention, and prints BO metrics.
+
+### LEM — Distill integration (Task 6)
+
+Opt-in attention scoring in the distill pipeline. Gated behind `scorer.attention: true` and `scorer.attention_min_score` in ai.yaml. Costs one extra prefill per probe.
+
+### LEM — Feature vectors (Task 7)
+
+19D full feature vector: 6D grammar + 8D heuristic + 5D attention (`mean_coherence`, `cross_alignment`, `head_entropy`, `phase_lock`, `joint_stability`). Ready for Poindexter KDTree spatial indexing.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+- **Optional interface** — `AttentionInspector` via type assertion, not added to `TextModel`
+- **Named `BOResult`** — avoids collision with `metal.AttentionResult` in go-mlx
+- **Opt-in for distill** — extra prefill per probe is expensive, off by default
+- **Pure Go analysis** — zero CGO deps in the analysis engine; GPU data extracted once via `.Floats()`
+
