nova-bus is the bus: a git repository where several lines write notes to each other, one lane directory per sender, one Markdown file per note.

nova-cairn checkpoints a session without imposing a memory lifecycle.

nova-check runs the record-layer checks described in SPEC.md: boot attestation, link integrity, the kernel size budget, the self/machinery separation, the SEED-CORE ↔ SEED.md floor-set parity, the protected corpus a line has chosen never to lose silently, and the dogfood ledger -- whether anybody but a verb's own author has run it.

nova-ci runs the checks this repository's CI path makes on its own output.

Command nova-config is the one tool for the fleet's permanent, non-ephemeral configuration: it owns Postgres (schema `config`, its migrations, its history) and every registry of the fleet, and it applies that configuration into Redis so Redis is always a rebuildable copy.

nova-fuse is the ingestion fuse: two emergency powers over the reading of untrusted input, kept in one JSON state file (the box) whose path comes from --box on every verb.

nova-memory makes membership in a markdown corpus a LOOKUP, never a scan.

Command nova-redis is the Layer 2 binary of docs/SPEC-REDIS.md, the owner of the local instance: `serve` launches it bound to loopback and the tailnet, with auth from nova-secrets and the fleet store's rules: AOF on, no eviction, no TTL policy, the store in --dir (serve.go, #2281, #3879).

What the wall denied, said out loud.

nova-self-talk classifies self-claims in prose, in two disjoint classes: STANDING/DATED — what the writer permanently IS or permanently CANNOT do, in negative vocabulary — and INSTALLATION — a standing self-verdict built from neutral words, which the first class cannot see.

nova-table: work tables of ordered sets, text and formulas over Redis (internal/ntable).

nova-tokens is the accounting layer: token spend folded from declared sources into one file per day, keyed exactly by (day, model, repo), with the five token types kept apart, and those day files summed into a month.

Command nova-version reports installed tool identities and shares the update reader: local stdout by default, optional prepared bus delivery.
