docs: record Python sidecar drop in architecture comparison

Companion to lakehouse commit ba928b1 (aibridge: drop Python sidecar
from hot path; AiClient → direct Ollama).

ARCHITECTURE_COMPARISON.md:
  - Decisions tracker: "Drop Python sidecar" moves _open_ → DONE
  - "Cross-cutting abstracts to address" item #3 marked complete
  - "Python dependency (the load-bearing axis)" section reframed:
    pre/post-2026-05-02 diagram, lab UI / pipeline_lab clarified
    as dev-only Python (not on runtime hot path)
  - Change log: new entry

STATE_OF_PLAY: timestamp refresh.

# STATE OF PLAY — Lakehouse-Go
**Last verified:** 2026-05-02 ~05:50 CDT
**Last verified:** 2026-05-02 ~06:30 CDT
**Verified by:** **production-readiness gauntlet** — 21/21 smoke chain green, per-component scrum across 4 bundles, **3 cross-runtime parity probes all green post-fix** (validator: **6/6 match** after wire-format alignment shipped; materializer: 2/2 after omitempty fix; extract_json: 12/12). All findings surfaced by the parity probes have been actioned. Disposition: `reports/cutover/gauntlet_2026-05-02/disposition.md`.
> **Read this FIRST.** When the user says "we're working on lakehouse," default to the Go rewrite (this repo); the Rust legacy at `/home/profit/lakehouse/` is maintenance-only. If memory contradicts this file, this file wins. Update it when something is verified working — not when a phase finishes.

Public API unchanged — 0 callers updated. Verification: cargo test -p aibridge 32/32 PASS, live smoke `/ai/embed` returns 768-dim vector + `/v1/chat` returns "OK". Sidecar's `lab_ui.py` + `pipeline_lab.py` (~888 LOC dev-only UIs) keep running; only the hot-path embed/generate/rerank/admin routes are retired.

Gateway proxies `/v1/validate` + `/v1/iterate` to validatord. Closes the last "Go-primary" backlog item (architecture_comparison.md item #7). 30+ tests + `validatord_smoke.sh` 5/5 PASS. |

## Python dependency (the load-bearing axis)

This was the architectural difference that drove the original perf gap.
```
Rust embed: gateway → HTTP → Python sidecar :3200 → HTTP → Ollama :11434
Go embed: gateway → HTTP → Go embedd :4216 → HTTP → Ollama :11434
Pre-2026-05-02:
Rust embed: gateway → HTTP → Python sidecar :3200 → HTTP → Ollama :11434
Go embed: gateway → HTTP → Go embedd :4216 → HTTP → Ollama :11434
Post-2026-05-02 (commit ba928b1):
Rust embed: gateway → HTTP → Ollama :11434 (sidecar dropped)
Go embed: gateway → HTTP → Go embedd :4216 → HTTP → Ollama :11434
```
The Python sidecar (`sidecar/sidecar/main.py`, 1,237 lines) is a
FastAPI wrapper around Ollama. It does pydantic validation + request
shaping; **no fundamental compute** that Ollama can't do directly.
The hot-path Python sidecar (~120 LOC across embed.py / generate.py
/ rerank.py / admin.py) was pure pass-through to Ollama and added no
logic — just translation. AiClient was rewritten 2026-05-02 to call
Ollama directly. `lab_ui.py` + `pipeline_lab.py` (~888 LOC of
Streamlit-shape dev UIs) remain as ad-hoc tooling, not on the
runtime hot path.

- 2026-05-02 — Substrate fix verified at original failure-surfacing scale. Multitier 5min @ conc=50: 132,211 scenarios at 438/sec, 6/6 classes at 0% failure (was 4/6 pre-fix). Throughput drop (1,115 → 438/sec) is the honest cost of the formerly-broken scenarios doing real HNSW Add work. STATE_OF_PLAY refreshed to 2026-05-02.
- 2026-05-02 — Materializer + replay tool ported from Rust legacy to Go (`internal/materializer` + `internal/replay`, both with CLI + smoke + tests). Both runtimes now produce the same `data/evidence/YYYY/MM/DD/*.jsonl` and `data/_kb/replay_runs.jsonl` shapes; Go side no longer needs Bun for these phases.
- 2026-05-02 — `/v1/validate` + `/v1/iterate` HTTP surface ported as `cmd/validatord` on `:3221`. Closes the last "If keeping Go primary" backlog item — Go now owns the entire validator path end-to-end (no Rust dep for staffing safety net). 5/5 smoke probes via gateway :3110.
- 2026-05-02 — Python sidecar dropped from Rust hot path (`ba928b1`). AiClient now talks Ollama directly. Process count: mega-binary + sidecar → mega-binary alone. Public API unchanged, 0 callers updated. Cargo tests 32/32 PASS, live `/ai/embed` + `/v1/chat` smokes green on test gateway. Lab UI Python remains as ad-hoc dev tooling.
