Does ooo seed save generated Seeds to ~/.ouroboros/seeds?

[nabigraphics]

Hi! I recently came across Ouroboros and have been enjoying trying it out.

While using it, I ran into one part of the Seed workflow that I am not fully sure I understand, so I wanted to ask about the intended behavior.

When I run:

ooo seed interview_20260515_083406

I get a successful response like:

Seed regeneration completed.

Seed ID: seed_affe1db402e9
Interview ID: interview_20260515_083406
Ambiguity Score: 0.16

However, no YAML file seems to be written under:

~/.ouroboros/seeds/

From reading the code, it looks like the ooo auto path wires persistence explicitly via seed_saver=save_seed, while the authoring handler for manual Seed generation appears to generate and return the Seed YAML but not call save_seed.

I also noticed that some docs/skills seem to imply generated Seeds live under ~/.ouroboros/seeds/, while the SeedOrigin comments in auto/state.py seem to suggest that an ouroboros_generate_seed side-channel writer/provenance path may have been intentionally deferred.

The part I am trying to clarify is:

1. Is ooo seed <interview_id> intended to persist a Seed YAML file?
2. If not, is the expected workflow to manually save the returned YAML?
3. Should the docs distinguish between ooo auto persisted Seeds and manual ooo seed generated YAML?
4. If persistence is intended, would a PR adding save_seed to the authoring handler be welcome?

Thanks!

For reference, the docs/skill references I had in mind were:

• skills/publish/SKILL.md, which says Ouroboros stores seeds in ~/.ouroboros/seeds/, including interview seeds as {seed_id}.yaml
• docs/architecture.md, which describes immutable Seeds as stored in ~/.ouroboros/seeds/
• docs/config-reference.md, which describes seeds/ as generated seed YAML files
• docs/runtime-guides/codex.md and docs/runtime-guides/opencode.md, which mention generated Seeds being saved under ~/.ouroboros/seeds/seed_{id}.yaml

That was the main reason I was unsure whether the manual ooo seed path is expected to persist a file or only return YAML.
