# SPEC: Lakehouse-Go Component Port Plan

**Status:** DRAFT — companion to `PRD.md`. Component-by-component port
plan with library choices, effort estimates, and acceptance gates.
**Created:** 2026-04-28
**Owner:** J

This spec answers: for each piece of the Rust Lakehouse, what Go
library carries it, what the effort looks like, and what gate proves
the port is real.

Effort scale (one engineer-week = ~40h focused work):
- **S** — 1–3 days
- **M** — 1 engineer-week
- **L** — 2–3 engineer-weeks
- **XL** — 1+ months
- **HARD** — open research, see PRD §Hard problems

## §2. Component port table — TypeScript surfaces

| TS surface | Current location | Go target | Library | Effort | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `mcp-server/index.ts` | Bun, :3700 | `cmd/mcp` | **`modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk`** (official Go SDK, v1.5.0, Google-collab) | **L** | medium — MCP semantics |

---

## §3. Hard problem details

### §3.1 — Query engine (DuckDB via cgo)

**Library:** `github.com/duckdb/duckdb-go/v2` — official Go bindings via
cgo. (Replaces the legacy `marcboeker/go-duckdb`, which was deprecated
when the DuckDB team and Marc Boeker jointly relocated maintenance to
the DuckDB org at v2.5.0. Migration is a one-line `gofmt -r` rewrite of
import paths.) Current version v2.10502.0 (April 2026), DuckDB v1.5.2
compat. Statically links default extensions: ICU, JSON, Parquet,
Autocomplete.

**API shape** (replaces the DataFusion `SessionContext` pattern):
```go
db, _ := sql.Open("duckdb", "")
defer db.Close()
db.Exec("CREATE VIEW workers AS SELECT * FROM read_parquet('s3://bucket/workers/*.parquet')")
rows, _ := db.Query("SELECT role, count(*) FROM workers WHERE state='IL' GROUP BY role")
```

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.1.A — `SELECT * FROM read_parquet('workers_500k.parquet') LIMIT 1`
  returns a row with the expected schema. Establishes Parquet read
  works.
- G3.1.B — Hybrid SQL+vector query (the `POST /vectors/hybrid`
  surface) returns same workers as the Rust path on the same input,
  ranked the same way modulo embedding precision.
- G3.1.C — Hot-cache merge-on-read: register a base table + a delta
  Parquet, query, observe both rows merged with the delta winning on
  conflict.

**Fallback if cgo is rejected:** run DuckDB as an external process
(`duckdb -json -c '...'` shelled or HTTP via a thin Go wrapper). Adds
operational surface; preserves SQL model.

### §3.2 — HNSW index

**Library:** `coder/hnsw` — pure-Go HNSW, in-process. Supports add /
delete / search / persist.

**Open question:** does `coder/hnsw` match the recall@10 we measured
on the Rust `hora` path? Need a calibration test:
- Rebuild `lakehouse_arch_v1` (the 1086-chunk arch corpus) in Go.
- Compare recall@10 on a fixed query set to the Rust baseline.
- Acceptance: ≤2% drop or we switch library / parameters.

**Persistence format:** TBD — `coder/hnsw` has its own snapshot format;
ADR equivalent of ADR-008 (Parquet for embeddings + sidecar HNSW file)
needs revisiting in Go to confirm the sidecar format we ship.

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.2.A — Build HNSW from a Parquet of 100K vectors in <60s
- G3.2.B — Search 100K vectors at k=10 in <50ms p50
- G3.2.C — Recall@10 within 2% of Rust baseline on
  `lakehouse_arch_v1`

### §3.4 — Matrix indexer (corpus-as-shard composer)

**What it is.** The matrix indexer is the layer above `vectord` that
turns a fleet of single-corpus HNSW indexes into a learning meta-index.
In the Rust system this is emergent — split between corpus builders
(`scripts/build_*_corpus.ts`), the mode runner (`crates/gateway/src/v1/mode.rs`),
the observer relevance endpoint (`mcp-server/observer.ts`), and the
strong-model downgrade gate (`mode.rs::execute`). In Go we name it
explicitly so future sessions don't reduce it to "vectord."

**Why corpus-as-shard, not shard-by-id.** Sharding a single index by
hash(id) is a pure throughput hack with a recall tax. Sharding by
corpus is the existing retrieval shape — `lakehouse_arch_v1`,
`lakehouse_symbols_v1`, `scrum_findings_v1`, `lakehouse_answers_v1`,
`kb_team_runs_v1`, `successful_playbooks_live`, etc. — each with
distinct topology and a distinct retrieval intent. Concurrent Adds
parallelize naturally because they go to different corpora; the
matrix layer's job is to retrieve+merge across them, filter for
relevance, and downgrade composition when strong models prove the
matrix is anti-additive.

**Components to port (in dependency order):**

1. **Corpus builders** — Go equivalents of `scripts/build_*_corpus.ts`.
   For each named corpus, a builder that reads source, splits into
   chunks per the corpus's schema, embeds via `/v1/embed`, and adds
   to a vectord index of the same name. Effort: **M** for the first
   builder, **S** for each subsequent.

2. **Multi-corpus retrieve+merge** (`internal/matrix/retrieve.go`) —
   given a query and a list of corpus names, search each at top_k=K,
   merge by score, return top N globally. Match Rust's pattern:
   top_k=6 per corpus, top 8 globally before relevance filter.

3. **Relevance filter** (`internal/matrix/relevance.go`) — port the
   threshold-based filter from `mcp-server/observer.ts:/relevance`.
   Drops adjacency-pollution chunks that share a corpus with the hit
   but aren't actually about the query. `LH_RELEVANCE_FILTER` /
   `LH_RELEVANCE_THRESHOLD` env knobs preserved.

4. **Strong-model downgrade gate** (`internal/matrix/downgrade.go`) —
   port `is_weak_model` + the `codereview_lakehouse → codereview_isolation`
   flip from `mode.rs::execute`. Pass5 proved composed corpora lose
   5/5 vs isolation on grok-4.1-fast (p=0.031); the gate is
   load-bearing for paid-model retrieval quality.

5. **Learning-loop integration** — write outcomes back to a
   playbook-memory corpus (probably `lakehouse_answers_v1` analogue).
   This is what makes the matrix INDEX a learning system rather than
   static retrieval. Per `feedback_meta_index_vision.md`: this is the
   north star, not the data structure.

**Gateway routes:** `/v1/matrix/search` (multi-corpus retrieve+merge),
`/v1/matrix/corpora` (list + metadata), `/v1/matrix/relevance` (filter
endpoint, used by both internal callers and external tooling).

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.4.A — `/v1/matrix/search` against ≥3 corpora returns merged top-N
  with corpus attribution per result.
- G3.4.B — Relevance filter drops at least the threshold-margin chunks
  on a known adjacency-pollution test case.
- G3.4.C — Strong-model downgrade gate flips composed→isolation when
  the model is non-weak; bypassed when caller sets `force_mode`.
- G3.4.D — Concurrent Adds across N=4 corpora parallelize (no shared
  write-lock); Add throughput scales near-linearly with corpus count.

**Persistence:** each corpus's vectord index persists via the existing
G1P LHV1 format. The matrix layer is stateless above that — corpus
list lives in catalog, retrieval params in config.

**Why this is its own §3.x:** in Rust the matrix indexer was emergent
and got reduced to "we have vectord" in earlier port-planning. The
SPEC names it explicitly so the port preserves the multi-corpus
retrieval shape AND the learning loop, not just the HNSW substrate.

### §3.5 — Drift quantification (loop 5 of the PRD)

**What it is.** PRD names "drift" as the 5th loop: quantify when
historical decisions stop matching current reality. Distinct from
the rating+distillation loop because drift is MEASUREMENT, not
LEARNING. The learning loop says "this match worked, remember it";
the drift loop says "this 4-month-old playbook entry — does it
still match what the substrate would surface today?"

**What's shipped (commit `be65f85`):**
  - SCORER drift: re-runs current `distillation.ScoreRecord` over
    historical (EvidenceRecord, persisted_category) pairs and
    reports mismatches + a sorted shift matrix
  - `internal/drift/drift.go` — pure-function `ComputeScorerDrift`
  - 6 unit tests covering no-drift, shift detection, multi-shift
    sorted-by-count, includeEntries flag, empty input, scorer-version
    stamping

**Future drift shapes (not shipped):**
  - PLAYBOOK drift: re-run playbook queries through current
    matrix-search; recorded answer not in top-K = drift
  - EMBEDDING drift: KS-test on vector distribution at T1 vs T2
  - AUDIT BASELINE drift: matches Rust `audit_baselines.jsonl`
    longitudinal signal

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.5.A — A scorer-version bump triggers a non-zero `Drifted` count
  on a corpus of historical ScoredRuns where the new logic produces
  different categories than the persisted ones.
- G3.5.B — `ScorerDriftReport.ShiftMatrix` is deterministic-ordered
  (count desc, ties broken alphabetically) so JSON output is stable
  across runs.

### §3.6 — Staffing-side structured filter

**What it is.** Reality tests on the candidates + workers corpora
(commits `0d1553c`, `a97881d`) surfaced that pure semantic retrieval
can't gate by location/status/availability — the matrix indexer
returns Production Workers for a Forklift+OSHA-30 query because
nomic-embed-text's geometry doesn't separate the role labels well.
Structured filtering is the addressable piece: pre-filter the
candidate set on metadata fields BEFORE semantic ranking.

**What's shipped (commit `b199093`):**
  - `SearchRequest.MetadataFilter` — `map[string]any` of metadata
    field → expected value (single value or list-of-values for OR
    semantics within a key, AND across keys)
  - Post-retrieval filter applied before top-K truncation in
    `internal/matrix/retrieve.go`
  - `SearchResponse.MetadataFilterDropped` for telemetry on filter
    aggressiveness
  - 7 unit tests covering nil filter, missing metadata, exact match,
    AND across keys, OR within list, bool match, malformed JSON

**Deferred:**
  - Pre-retrieval SQL gate via `queryd` (the actual hybrid). The
    post-retrieval filter is an MVP that helps when the candidate
    set is mostly relevant; for aggressive filters that drop most
    results, a SQL pre-filter into matrix retrieval would surface
    the right candidates with less wasted embedding work.
  - Filter language richer than equality (e.g. range, prefix, regex).

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.6.A — `MetadataFilter: {"state": "IL"}` against a mixed-state
  corpus drops every non-IL result; `MetadataFilterDropped` reports
  the count.
- G3.6.B — List filter `{"state": ["IL", "WI"]}` keeps both states,
  drops the rest (OR within key).
- G3.6.C — Multi-key filter is AND: a result missing any key is
  dropped, no exception.

### §3.7 — Operational rating wiring

**What it is.** PRD loop 4 (rating + distillation) needs real
inflows to be a learning system rather than a substrate. The
playbook-record endpoint (`06e7152`) takes one (query, answer,
score) per call; productizing it into actual signal sources is what
makes the system get smarter with use.

**What's shipped (commit `6392772`):**
  - `POST /v1/matrix/playbooks/bulk` — bulk-record N successes;
    per-entry success/failure response so callers can see which of
    a 4,701-row historical placement import succeeded vs which
    failed validation.
  - Single-record path from `06e7152` unchanged.

**Deferred:**
  - UI shim for click-tracking (no Go demo UI yet — the Bun demo at
    `devop.live/lakehouse/` is still serving the public surface).
    When the Go UI lands or a feedback API is added to the Bun UI,
    every coordinator click → bulk-batched POST → playbook entry.
  - Negative feedback (this match didn't work). Currently only
    positive scores are recorded; a rejection signal would help the
    learning loop avoid pushing bad matches.
  - Time-decay on playbook scores so stale recommendations attenuate.

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.7.A — Bulk POST of N entries returns `{recorded, failed,
  results[]}` with per-entry IDs/errors, no single-entry failure
  aborting the batch.
- G3.7.B — Each recorded entry surfaces in `/v1/matrix/search` with
  `use_playbook=true` after a re-query.

### §3.8 — Observer-KB workflow runner (Archon-style multi-pass)

**What it is.** The architectural pattern documented in the Rust
`observer-kb` branch (10 commits ahead of main, never merged) and
proven by `/home/profit/external/Archon`'s workflow engine. Multiple
mode passes processing data, with each pass an objective measurement
that contributes to the KB:

```
Raw data
   ↓ Mode: EXTRACT       structured facts/entities/relationships
   ↓ Mode: VALIDATOR     fact-check, confidence 1-10
   ↓ Mode: HALLUCINATION verify each claim, flag likely fabrications
   ↓ Mode: CONSENSUS     multiple passes until extraction converges
   ↓ Mode: REDTEAM       attack what survived, patch what fails
   ↓ Mode: PIPELINE      clean → Q&A structure → topic group → rank
   ↓ RENDER              curated doc anchored on questions
```

This is the *orchestrator* missing from §3.4 components 1-5: each
SPEC §3.4 piece (relevance, downgrade, scorer, drift) is a "mode";
what's missing is the workflow engine that chains them.

**Why it matters.** Per the PRD's product vision: the observer
should make actionable decisions based on watching what's
successful. The workflow runner is how observers compose modes
into multi-pass pipelines that score outcomes rigorously enough
to feed the KB and inform the playbook substrate.

**Reference materials on the system:**
  - `/home/profit/lakehouse/.archon/workflows/lakehouse-architect-review.yaml`
    (committed `69919d9` in main) — proves Archon-via-Lakehouse
    works with a 3-node `shape → weakness → improvement` workflow
  - `/home/profit/external/Archon` — the upstream workflow engine
    (cloned 2026-04-26); `packages/providers/src/community/pi/provider.ts`
    has the local Lakehouse-routing mod committed locally as
    `3f2afc8` (not pushed to upstream `coleam00/Archon`)
  - Rust `observer-kb` branch (10 commits, +4338/-55506 LoC) —
    `apps/observer-kb/docs/PRD.md` documents the multi-pass
    architecture; `scripts/{deep_analysis,extract_knowledge,process_knowledge}.py`
    are the Python prototypes that proved it on real ChatGPT/Claude
    PDF data (496 topics, 300 decisions, 100 insights extracted)

**Components to port (in dependency order):**

1. **Workflow definition** (`internal/workflow/types.go`) — YAML
   schema matching Archon's shape: `name`, `description`, `provider`,
   `model`, list of `nodes` each with `id`, `prompt`, `allowed_tools`,
   `effort`, `idle_timeout`, `depends_on`. The depends_on edges form
   a DAG; the runner resolves topologically.

2. **Node executor** (`internal/workflow/runner.go`) — given a
   workflow and a starting context, walks the DAG, executes each
   node by dispatching to the configured backend (matrix.Search,
   distillation.ScoreRecord, drift.ComputeScorerDrift, or a generic
   prompt-against-LLM via gateway `/v1/chat`), captures per-node
   output, makes it available as `$<node_id>.output` in subsequent
   nodes.

3. **Provenance recording** — every node execution lands an
   ObservedOp (via the observerd substrate from `bc9ab93`) with
   `source: "workflow"`, the workflow name + node ID, input/output
   summaries, and timing. The ring buffer + JSONL log become the
   substrate for the rating+distillation loop's KB feed.

4. **Mode catalog** (`internal/workflow/modes.go`) — registry of
   the modes the runner can dispatch to. Each mode is a Go function
   matching a uniform `func(ctx, input map[string]any) (map[string]any, error)`
   signature so workflows can compose them. Initial modes from
   §3.4: `matrix.search`, `matrix.relevance`, `matrix.downgrade`,
   `playbook.record`, `playbook.lookup`, `distillation.score`,
   `drift.scorer`. Plus `llm.chat` for free-form mode prompts.

5. **HTTP surface** — `POST /v1/observer/workflow/run` accepts a
   workflow YAML body + a starting context; returns the per-node
   results + the chain of ObservedOps generated. `GET
   /v1/observer/workflow/list` lists workflows in a known directory
   for operator discoverability.

**Why integrate into observerd, not a new service.** The observer
is the system resource that watches and records. Workflows ARE
observation patterns — multi-step processes whose every step is
recorded. Putting the runner inside observerd keeps the
"measurement → KB feed" wiring tight; a separate service would
re-implement the recording layer.

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.8.A — Load a workflow YAML matching the Archon `lakehouse-architect-review.yaml`
  shape; runner executes the 3-node DAG topologically.
- G3.8.B — Each node execution lands an ObservedOp with
  `source: "workflow"` and the node's input/output. Stats endpoint
  shows the workflow ops.
- G3.8.C — A node referencing `$<prior_node>.output` in its prompt
  resolves correctly; missing reference is a clear error not a
  silent empty string.
- G3.8.D — Mode catalog dispatches `matrix.search` invocation to
  the matrixd backend without going through HTTP (in-process
  function call when matrixd is co-resident).

**Status:** PORT TARGET, not yet started. SPEC commits the design;
implementation is its own wave (estimated **L** effort given the
DAG runner + mode dispatch + provenance recording).

### §3.3 — UI (HTMX)

**Approach:** server-rendered Go templates using `html/template`,
HTMX for partial-page swaps, Alpine.js for client-side interactivity
where needed. Single binary serves API + UI.

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.3.A — `Ask` tab: type natural-language question, get answer
  from RAG endpoint, render in-page without full reload
- G3.3.B — `Explore` tab: paginated dataset list with hot-swap badge
  rendering
- G3.3.C — `SQL` tab: textarea → submit → tabular result rendered
  in-page
- G3.3.D — `System` tab: live tail of `/storage/errors` and
  `/hnsw/trials` via HTMX polling

**Fallback if HTMX feels limiting:** split repo `golangLAKEHOUSE-ui`
with Vite + React, served as static files by Go gateway. Costs an
extra repo + build chain.

### §3.4 — Pathway memory port

**Constraint:** the Rust `pathway_memory` and TS implementations were
byte-matching by ADR-021. The byte contract was verified by running
both implementations on the same input tokens and asserting matching
bucket indices.

**Go port plan:**
- Port the 32-bucket SHA256-keyed token hash exactly. Verify on a
  golden input that Go produces the same bucket vector as Rust.
- Port the JSON state file format verbatim — the existing 88 traces in
  `data/_pathway_memory/state.json` reload as-is into the Go
  implementation.
- Port the matrix-correctness layer (ADR-021's `SemanticFlag`,
  `BugFingerprint`, `TypeHint`) — these are pure value types,
  trivially portable.

**Acceptance gates:**
- G3.4.A — Load existing `state.json`, run `replay` on the same 11
  prior successful pathways, all 11 succeed (matching the Rust 11/11
  baseline).
- G3.4.B — Bucket vector for a fixed test input byte-matches the
  Rust output.

## §4. Phase plan

### Phase G0 — Skeleton (Week 1–3)

**Scope:** smallest end-to-end ingest + query path working in Go.

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/gateway` | HTTP on :3100, `/health`, `/v1/chat` proxy stub |
| `cmd/catalogd` | In-memory registry + Parquet manifest persistence |
| `cmd/storaged` | Single-bucket S3 / local FS, no error journal yet |
| `cmd/ingestd` | CSV → Parquet, schema inference, register-on-ingest |
| `cmd/queryd` | DuckDB-backed `POST /sql` endpoint |

**Acceptance:** upload a CSV via `POST /ingest`, query it via
`POST /sql` with a SELECT, get rows back. Single-bucket. No vector,
no profile, no UI.

### Phase G1 — Vector + RAG (Week 4–6)

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/vectord` | Embed-on-ingest (calls Python sidecar), HNSW build, `POST /search` |
| `cmd/gateway` | Add `POST /rag` (embed → search → retrieve → generate via aibridge) |
| `cmd/aibridge` | HTTP client to existing Python sidecar |

**Acceptance:** ingest 15K resumes (the original Phase 7 fixture),
ask "find me a forklift operator with OSHA-10 in IL", get ranked
results with LLM-generated explanation grounded in the retrieved
chunks.

### Phase G2 — Federation + profiles (Week 7–8)

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/storaged` | Multi-bucket registry, rescue bucket, error journal at `primary://_errors/` |
| Profile system | Per-reader profile bound to bucket + vector index |
| Hot-swap | Atomic pointer swap for index generations |

**Acceptance:** two profiles bound to two buckets, queries scoped
correctly, hot-swap a vector index without query interruption,
rollback works.

### Phase G3 — Pathway memory + distillation (Week 9–11)

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/vectord` | Pathway memory module ported, 88 traces reloaded |
| Distillation pipeline | SFT export, contamination firewall, scorer |
| Audit baselines | `audit_baselines.jsonl` longitudinal signal port |

**Acceptance:** replay 11 prior successful pathways, all 11 succeed.
Re-run distillation acceptance on the frozen fixture set, 22/22 pass.

### Phase G4 — TS surfaces → Go (Week 12–14)

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/mcp` | MCP server (replaces Bun) — `/v1/chat`, intelligence endpoints |
| `cmd/observer` | Autonomous iteration loop, op recording |
| `cmd/auditor` | PR audit pipeline (kimi/haiku/opus rotation) |
| `cmd/scrum` | Scrum master pipeline (replaces TS) |

**Acceptance:** open a test PR, auditor cycles within 90s, emits
verdict to `data/_auditor/kimi_verdicts/`, behavior matches Rust+TS
era within tolerance.

### Phase G5 — UI + demo parity (Week 15–16)

| Component | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| `cmd/gateway` | Serves HTMX templates + static demo HTML |
| Demo at `devop.live/lakehouse/` | Parity with current Bun demo |
| Staffer console at `/console` | Parity |

**Acceptance:** `devop.live/lakehouse/` cuts over from Bun to Go
gateway. Section ① / ② / ③ all render. Compact contract cards still
expand with Project Index. Fill-probability bars still paint.

**Single Go module.** All commands and internal packages live under
`golangLAKEHOUSE/`. No nested modules unless a package needs an
independent release cadence (none expected).

**Build:** `go build ./cmd/...` produces all binaries.

## §6. Migration data plan

### What ports verbatim
- Parquet datasets at `data/datasets/*.parquet` — read by Go directly.
- Catalog manifests — Parquet, ports as data not code.
- Pathway memory state — JSON, ports if §3.4 byte-matching gate passes.

### What rebuilds
- HNSW indexes — rebuild from Parquet embeddings on first Go startup.
- Auditor verdicts on PRs — old PRs won't be re-audited; lineage starts
  fresh on the new repo's PRs.

### What's archived
- The Rust `crates/` tree — preserved in the original repo at the
  cutover commit, tagged `pre-go-rewrite-2026-04-28` for reference.
- TS surfaces (`mcp-server/`, `auditor/`, etc.) — preserved in the
  original repo at the same tag.
- Distillation v1.0.0 substrate (`tag distillation-v1.0.0`,
  `e7636f2`) — kept as the historical reference; Go re-implementation
  ports the LOGIC but not the bit-identical-reproducibility property
  unless an ADR re-establishes it.

### What's discarded
- `crates/vectord-lance/` (Lance backend, see PRD §Hard problems §2)
- `crates/lance-bench/` (criterion benchmarks specific to Lance)

## §7. Acceptance: when is the rewrite done?

The Go Lakehouse reaches **feature parity** when:

1. **All 12 Rust PRD invariants hold** (object-storage source of truth,
   catalog metadata authority, idempotent ingest, hot-swap atomicity,
   profiles, etc.).
2. **The 16 distillation acceptance gates pass** (re-run
   `./scripts/distill audit-full` against the Go pipeline).
3. **The 22/22 acceptance fixtures from `tests/fixtures/distillation/
   acceptance/` pass** under the Go implementation.
4. **The 145 unit tests of distillation v1.0.0 are ported and pass.**
5. **`devop.live/lakehouse/` demo cuts over to Go gateway** with no
   visible UI regressions.
6. **Auditor emits Kimi/Haiku/Opus verdicts** on a test PR, matching
   the cross-lineage rotation behavior.
7. **The 88 pathway traces replay** with 11/11 prior successes
   reproduced.

At that point the Rust repo enters maintenance-only mode (security
fixes), and the Go repo becomes the live system.

## §8. Ratified — Phase G0 unblocked (2026-04-28, J)

| # | Decision | Spec impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DuckDB via cgo (`marcboeker/go-duckdb`) | §3.1 option A — proceed |
| 2 | HTMX + `html/template` + Alpine.js | §3.3 option A — proceed |
| 3 | `git.agentview.dev/profit/golangLAKEHOUSE` | repo location locked |
| 4 | Distillation rebuilt in Go (no bit-identical port) | §6 — port logic, not fixtures |
| 5 | Pathway memory starts empty; old traces noted | §3.4 G3.4.A is now "build initial state from scratch in Phase G3"; G3.4.B (byte-match) preserved as the porting correctness gate when the algorithm is reimplemented |
| 6 | Auditor longitudinal signal restarts | new `audit_baselines.jsonl` lineage starts on first Go-era PR |

See `docs/DECISIONS.md` ADR-001 for full rationale and
`docs/RUST_PATHWAY_MEMORY_NOTE.md` for where the legacy 88 traces live.

**Phase G0 is now unblocked.** Next step: bootstrap the Go module
skeleton + push to Gitea, then begin §4 Phase G0 implementation.
