M12 W1 (spt-hosted harness bringup + `spt rc` PTY attach) — doyle handed execution to todlando 2026-06-14. Full spec: `M12-PLAN.md` + `M12-W1-PLAN.md` (durable build plan, resumable).

**Built + green:**
- Daemon `spt-daemon/src/harnesshost.rs`: `prepare_harness_spawn` (validate kind=harness + fill `[session.self]` template) + `launch_harness_brokered_in` (spawn into broker PTY via `spawn_session_pid`, mirrors `shellhost::launch_shell_brokered_in`) + `mint_session_id`. 3 unit tests.
- `spt/src/rc.rs`: operator attach pump (single-Brain main thread + stdin reader thread→mpsc, `cold_start_pump` Split carrier for bounded reads, seq-dedup, ctrl-b detach state machine). 3 unit tests.
- cli.rs: `EndpointCmd::Run` + `cmd_endpoint_run`; top-level `Cmd::Rc`; crossterm dep added.
- REQs registered: REQ-HOST-RUN-1 (spawn), REQ-RC-1 (attach), REQ-HOST-RUN-2 (project cwd — doyle-mandated, must land before M12 gate; W1 ships broker-inherited cwd as proof-shortcut only).

**KEY DECISIONS (doyle-validated):** spawn-first (harness self-registers its perch on bind via `api/startup.rs establish_perch`, no daemon pre-register); id rides argv via `{id}` template (NO SpawnReq wire change); one-pump invariant = transport swappable under one `serve_attach` pump.

**BLOCKER RESOLVED (doyle ruling 2026-06-14):** loopback self-dial IMPOSSIBLE (iroh refuses `net_dial(own_addr)`, pinned green test). doyle picked **B1 (broker in-process loopback-conn — local rides byte-identical pump+serve path, covered by cross-node tests; B2's pump-branch rejected as the lesser-tested local path warned against), scoped as a tight W1.5** (NOT in W1). Rationale: cross-node attach + endpoint-run bringup + pump are built+green → gate W1 NOW (bringup verifiable via cross-node attach to the spawned PTY); B1 is a sensitive broker-layer addition (6.7 zone) deserving its own focused task+gate; local lands W1.5 before M12 close. One-pump assertion (both transports → one pump) kept in W1.5.

**REQ-RC-1 split:** cross-node int evidence at W1 gate; local int evidence at W1.5 (per-wave activation).

**W1 GATE: PASS (doyle 2026-06-14).** Independently verified: traceable-reqs check reproduced (196 complete / 0 findings; REQ-HOST-RUN-1 + REQ-RC-1 impl+unit+int, REQ-HOST-RUN-2 []); int test `attach.rs:217` inspected — real `launch_harness_brokered_in` spawns [session.self] into broker-A PTY, B attaches cross-node, HOSTED_OK round-trips, detach→Detached+survives, origin=handshake-identity (KH 7.5); self-dial-refused pin genuine. Trusted reported full-suite (46 bins/0) + clippy -D. **UNCOMMITTED** (awaiting operator).

**W1.5 GATE PASS (doyle 2026-06-14, independently verified — read shared helper + both int tests + reproduced trace).** B1 broker loopback-conn done (design in `M12-W1.5-PLAN.md` "Crystallized design"). Transport seam = `tokio::io::duplex` (ONE full-duplex pair wires a whole operator↔peer stream); only the leaf send/recv become enums (`SendHalf`/`RecvHalf`), so StreamLog/subscribe/send_stream/read-pump are byte-identical across QUIC + loopback. `nethost::dial_loopback` = reused SINGLETON, `remote_id_hex` = own-node id; `open_stream` on a `ConnKind::Loopback` mints the cross-wired PAIR (operator row + peer row); peer row (initiated_locally=false, own origin) → dispatch loop → serve_attach. Explicit `net-dial-loopback` frame (brain.net_dial_loopback + broker.dispatch_net_dial_loopback) — net_dial untouched. access same-node short-circuit (access.rs:89) Allows own-node → NO access change. rc.rs ONE self-dial line swapped → net_dial_loopback. ONE-PUMP PROOF by construction: shared `attach_drive_detach` helper called by BOTH cross-node `remote_attach_drives_a_real_pty_cross_daemon` AND new `local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump` — diverge only in conn acquisition + expected_origin. EVIDENCE: attach int 6/6 + new nethost unit `loopback_conn_is_a_reused_singleton_that_cross_wires_a_stream_pair`; full spt+spt-daemon suite **498 passed/0 failed**; clippy -D EXIT=0; traceable EXIT=0 (REQ-RC-1 [OK] impl+unit+int). **UNCOMMITTED** (operator-gated, m12-w1-bringup-rc).

**REQ-HOST-RUN-2 GATE PASS (doyle 2026-06-14) — verified end-to-end.** doyle: "the confirmed-missing gating foundation is DONE + gated; the hard part of M12 is done." CONTINUE-vs-CHECKPOINT (W2-W5) routed to OPERATOR; HOLD building until operator relays. doyle suggested order if continue: **W3 first** (file-backed strings + adapter:profile fallback — most directly unblocks spt-claude-code) → then W2/W4/W5. Additive `SpawnReq.cwd: Option<String>` (serde default+skip_if_none, N-1 safe) → spt-term `PtySession::spawn_program_in(cwd)` (portable-pty CommandBuilder::cwd; `spawn_program` delegates None) → broker `dispatch_spawn` honors `req.cwd` → harnesshost `launch_harness_brokered_in(.., cwd: Option<&str>)` → cli `cmd_endpoint_run` derives PROJECT cwd from `std::env::current_dir()` (None-fallback, never aborts). Shells unchanged (cwd:None, out of scope). 17 SpawnReq literals patched +cwd:None. EVIDENCE: unit `spawn_program_in_lands_the_child_in_the_requested_cwd` (spt-term, unix-gated like capture test); int `broker_spawns_the_pty_child_in_the_requested_cwd` (CROSS-PLATFORM, passes Windows — wire→broker→PTY cwd e2e); full suite **527/0**; clippy EXIT=0; traceable EXIT=0 (REQ-HOST-RUN-2 [OK] impl+unit+int). UNCOMMITTED.

**COMMITTED 0c687fe (2026-06-14): W1.5 + REQ-HOST-RUN-2** on m12-w1-bringup-rc (operator chose commit-then-continue; 24 files, 668+/92-). W1.x bringup+rc foundation COMPLETE + gated (spt-hosted bringup + cross-node + LOCAL rc + project cwd).

**W3 built + suite-green** — gate pinged doyle (verdict via poll).

| Task | What | REQ |
|---|---|---|
| T3.1 | File-backed `[strings]` — `{file="rel"}` pointer (exactly-one-key), aux dir `adapters/<adapter>/strings/`, hazard containment (reject `..`/absolute → register refuses loud), lazy read + skip-diag, local-profile update-safety | MANIFEST-5 (doc+impl+unit) |
| T3.2 | `<adapter>:<profile>` fallback addressing — contract-lock unit + CONTEXT reconcile, **no config field** (no consumer; doyle's escalation clause untriggered) | MANIFEST-6 (doc+unit) |

**Evidence:** spt-runtime 49/0 (6 new tests, incl. all 5 doyle named + skip-diag); full suite **576/0**; clippy EXIT=0; traceable EXIT=0 (both REQs [OK]). `manifest.schema.json` unchanged (strings stays opaque). UNCOMMITTED.

3 waves landed this session (W1.5, REQ-HOST-RUN-2, W3) — all doyle-gated. W2 picker is the biggest wave (full ratatui TUI) and my context is heavy. Decision:


AskUserQuestion

Question: W3 gated PASS, uncommitted on m12-w1-bringup-rc. W2 (interactive ratatui picker) is the biggest remaining wave. How to proceed?

Choices:
Commit W3 to the branch now, then pause. W2 (big TUI wave) starts fresh — recommended given my context is heavy after 3 waves; a fresh context builds the picker better.
Commit W3, then immediately begin W2 — I'll write a JIT plan + design-check with doyle first (per M12-ENDPOINT-RUN-PICKER.md), then build.
Leave W3 uncommitted too; pause all. Await your review of W1.5+HR2+W3 together before anything else.


Your questions have been answered: "W3 gated PASS, uncommitted on m12-w1-bringup-rc. W2 (interactive ratatui picker) is the biggest remaining wave. How to proceed?"="Commit W3, then checkpoint". You can now continue with these answers in mind.

feat(runtime): M12 W3 file-backed [strings] + adapter:profile fallback addressing

T3.1 (REQ-MANIFEST-5): a `[strings]` value may be a FILE POINTER — an inline
table with EXACTLY one key `file`, `key = { file = "rel/path" }` — resolved to
the file's contents at get-string time, keeping large bodies (skill
instructions, hint text) out of the manifest. The single-key rule disambiguates:
any other table shape stays an opaque nested strings tree (back-compat). Files
live in the per-adapter aux dir `adapters/<adapter>/strings/` (sibling of
profiles/, copied into the held copy at register in Copy mode, read live in
Pointer mode). HAZARD-class containment: `..` traversal and absolute paths are
refused — loudly at registration (records nothing) and re-applied at read
(defense-in-depth). Validate-exists at register; lazy read at get-string (live
edits reflect, no re-register); skip-diagnostics (emit + return None, never
crash/error) on missing-at-read, mirroring [digest]. A LOCAL profile's own
pointers resolve against the user-owned profiles dir (update-safe), not the
adapter-shipped strings/ which updates overwrite. Rides the leaf-replace profile
overlay (a profile cleanly swaps pointer<->literal).

T3.2 (REQ-MANIFEST-6, contract-only): a cross-adapter fallback target is
addressed as `<adapter>:<profile>` and resolves through the one composite
resolver (registry::resolve_option), so a fallback may select a shipped/local
profile (e.g. `ccs` / `ccs:<profile>`). No config field is added — the node-wide
fallback setting + its rate-limit invocation belong to the consuming milestone
(no reader exists yet). CONTEXT.md cross-adapter-fallback wording reconciled.

Evidence: spt-runtime 49/0 (6 new units — single-key detector, escape-attempt
hazard, lazy-read, local-override, missing-skip, fallback-resolve); full
spt-runtime+spt-daemon+spt+spt-term suite 576 passed / 0 failed; clippy -D
clean; traceable EXIT=0 (MANIFEST-5 doc+impl+unit, MANIFEST-6 doc+unit [OK]).
manifest.schema.json unchanged (a pointer is an opaque Value — N-1-safe).

Committed **c02aabb**. Clean checkpoint — sending a commune to my Psyche (delta update) per the working rules:


Write

# Commune — todlando → Psyche (2026-06-14, M12 W3 checkpoint)

**Three waves landed + gated + COMMITTED this session, on `m12-w1-bringup-rc`.**

## Shipped + doyle-gated (all independently verified)
1. **W1.5 broker loopback-conn (REQ-RC-1 local)** + **REQ-HOST-RUN-2 project cwd** → commit `0c687fe`.
   - LOCAL `spt rc` rides the byte-identical `serve_attach` pump via an in-process broker loopback
     conn (`tokio::io::duplex`, `ConnKind::Loopback`, `dial_loopback` singleton, own-node origin).
     One-pump proven by construction (shared `attach_drive_detach` helper, both transports).
   - Additive `SpawnReq.cwd` → `spawn_program_in` (portable-pty) → broker → harnesshost → cli
     derives project cwd from `current_dir()`. Harness PTY lands in the user's project root.
2. **W3 adapter manifest enhancements** → commit `c02aabb`.
   - T3.1 file-backed `[strings]`: `{file="rel"}` pointer (exactly-one-key), aux dir
     `adapters/<adapter>/strings/`, HAZARD containment (reject `..`/absolute, refuse-loud at
     register + re-apply at read), lazy read + skip-diag, local-profile update-safety. REQ-MANIFEST-5.
   - T3.2 contract-only: `<adapter>:<profile>` fallback addressing via resolve_option + CONTEXT
     reconcile; NO config field (no consumer yet). REQ-MANIFEST-6.

Evidence each wave: full suite green (498→527→576 / 0), clippy -D EXIT=0, traceable EXIT=0.
W1.x bringup+rc foundation = COMPLETE + gated (the confirmed-missing gating piece; doyle: "hard part of M12 is done").

## NOW: CHECKPOINT (operator chose commit-then-pause)
My context is heavy after 3 waves. Operator paused before W2 so it starts fresh.

## NEXT (resume here)
- **W2 picker** = BIGGEST remaining wave: `spt endpoint run` interactive ratatui TUI. Spec =
  `M12-ENDPOINT-RUN-PICKER.md` + `M12-PLAN.md` Wave 2 (T2.1 layer-1/create-new, T2.2 pick-existing
  category L/R + status squares + type-to-filter + two-pane description, T2.3 confirm layer +
  status-dependent options, T2.4 `s`-keybind cc-<id> shortcut). Stack: ratatui + crossterm +
  nucleo-matcher. Write a JIT plan + doyle design-check FIRST (it's big), then build+gate.
- Then **W4** subnet QR + self-elevation, **W5** whoami alias. Then full M12 gate → unblocks perri
  on spt-claude-code.
- Commit pattern: operator calls each commit (they've committed W1.5+HR2 and W3).

## Working relationship
doyle = gatekeeper, does deep independent verifies (reproduces traceable + reads load-bearing
tests), rules design-checks before big/sensitive waves. Ping him a JIT plan when design-check
warranted. Operator paces commit-vs-continue at wave boundaries.

Checkpoint complete. Commune dropped to Psyche (auto-ingested).

## Session summary — 3 waves, all doyle-gated + committed

| Wave | Commit | What |
|---|---|---|
| W1.5 + REQ-HOST-RUN-2 | `0c687fe` | LOCAL `spt rc` via broker loopback-conn (byte-identical pump) + project-cwd harness spawn |
| W3 | `c02aabb` | File-backed `[strings]` (`{file=…}` pointer, hazard containment, lazy/skip-diag) + `adapter:profile` fallback addressing |

**Branch:** `m12-w1-bringup-rc` — both committed.
**Evidence per wave:** suite green (498→527→576 / 0), clippy -D EXIT=0, traceable EXIT=0.

**W1.x bringup+rc foundation = COMPLETE + gated** — the confirmed-missing gating piece for spt-claude-code (doyle: "the hard part of M12 is done").

## Paused here (your call)
**Next = W2 picker** (biggest wave — `spt endpoint run` ratatui TUI; spec `M12-ENDPOINT-RUN-PICKER.md`). Starts fresh: JIT plan + doyle design-check, then build+gate. Then W4 (subnet QR) → W5 (whoami) → full M12 gate → unblocks perri.

Resume anytime — memory + commune capture the full state.
