internal/

backend.go is the seam.

Package bounded is the one shape every listing in this repo prints, and the reason it exists is an incident: a line running on a 260K-context model died reading a single 674-line return from a verb that lists its state.

Package buildinfo answers one question in one place: WHICH BUILD IS THIS.

Package bus is the machinery under nova-bus: the bus's participant config, the note header, the id, the answered rule, the receipts file, and the push protocol.

Package check implements the six record-layer checks behind nova-check.

Package ci holds the checks that are about the REPO rather than about any one binary: properties every command under cmd/ must have, asserted by walking the directory rather than by listing the commands, so that a binary added tomorrow is held to them on the day it appears rather than on the day somebody remembers to add it to a list.

Package fuse is the STATE half of the ingestion fuse: reading and writing the box, the JSON file the two emergency powers live in.

Package memindex is the index half of nova-memory: membership in a markdown corpus as a LOOKUP, never a scan.

Package merge is nova-merge's engine: the lane's state file, its locks, its records, the one merge predicate and the one pass that applies it.

Package onboarding reads the two things docs/ONBOARDING.md makes every command in this repo carry — the `example:` block at the foot of its usage banner, and its `### First run` section in docs/TESTS.md — and reduces an output line to the part that document promises.

Package oneline is the one escape every binary in this repo renders caller-supplied or stored text through before it reaches an event line.

Package records is the core of the retained token record format: the canonical envelope, exact numeric strings with presence kept, and the structural validation the publisher boundary performs.

Package sandbox is the wall of docs/SPEC-SANDBOX.md: one command run with its filesystem reach cut down by the operating system.

Package selftalk finds first-person claims about what the writer of a text permanently IS or permanently CANNOT do, and classifies each as a dated record or a standing claim.

Package swarm is nova-swarm's machinery: a pool of one-task workers, each with its own working directory, its own data home, its own job directory and its own deadline held by the machinery rather than by the worker.

Package tokens is the accounting layer: the one message shape every source produces, the one fold over a stream of them, the day file, and the readers for the five declared source kinds.

Package wake is nova-wake's machinery: the state file that makes a change a change, the three sources it polls, the view over a bus checkout's commits that says whether a line has gone silent, and the serve loop that wakes a harness from outside a session.
