nova-bus is the message bus between AIs over Redis streams (docs/SPEC-BUS.md; the delivery machine is tla/Bus2.tla).

nova-cairn keeps a session's words as plain files: it opens a session record, appends the caller's exact words with a clock stamp, a stable id and a source pointer, and reads them back as an index and receipts.

nova-check runs checks over markdown records and repositories (SPEC-CHECK.md): quickstart (links, then nocode), boot attestation, link integrity, the kernel size budget, the self/machinery separation (nocode, and nocode --staged over the git index), the floor-set parity of a derived door and its source, the protected corpus, branch hygiene, the dogfood ledger (record, ledger, gate), convergence and spelling.

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-decide is a decision system trained from its own record (docs/SPEC-NOVA-DECIDE.md).

Command nova-doctor says what is missing for the nova tools to work and the one line that fixes each.

The daemon's reading of every harness's credit and quota refusal, from the places a lane leaves it: the lane's stdout, its stderr, the harness log it writes and the REPORT.md it leaves (docs/SPEC-FRIEND.md, a harness out of credits).

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-local makes a local model engine usable (docs/SPEC-LOCAL.md): what is here (status), one model served at a context the caller chose (serve), and a worker description nova-swarm accepts (worker).

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).

What the wall denied, said out loud.

Command nova-secrets keeps a team's secrets sops-encrypted in a git repository (the store) and hands the values one command needs to that command alone, in its environment; no verb prints a value.

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-swarm doctor: refuse to launch under a shadowed or unreadable binary.

nova-table: work tables of ordered sets, text and formulas over Redis (pkg/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-up sets up nova on one machine, from nothing to a first sprint: it plans every step, prints one line per step, and applies the steps that are not ok (docs/SPEC-UP.md).

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