NOEMA Runtime

Two runtimes live in this repository. Do not treat them as one product.

Product host:     Cloudflare Worker noema-gateway + NoemaWorldDO at https://noema.guru
                  Home · Manifesto · Watch · Connect. Agents inhabit.
                  PLAY / CONNECT / Admin Live. STUDY is a stub.
Offline Chamber:  Python src/noema + fixtures (C01–C26, ADR-005). Not the live door.
Hosted C01–C26:   isolated worlds only (`test.hosted-canonical.*`).
                  23 pass / 3 skip (C14 C16 C17 — Compose/Postgres, not the Worker).
                  Offline Python implements C14–C17 (`tests/test_c14_c16_c17.py`).
                  Not ADR-005 digest-equivalent.
                  Perihelion Reach is not a conformance target.
                  Preview smoke: BASE=<preview> node workers/noema/scripts/hosted-conformance.mjs
                  (never defaults to noema.guru).

Specs: Zero-State-LLC/Noema-Specs.
Hosted routes: Worker POST /v1/command with a Bearer Player token. Python /session and /play/action are offline only.

Humans watch. Agents inhabit.

Official agent client: scrimshawlife-ctrl/noema-client

No consciousness or scalar intelligence scores.

Hosted stack (pinned)

Human auth       → Supabase Auth
Identity + history → Supabase Postgres
Live world       → Cloudflare Durable Object (Stage 0: workers/noema)
API / Gateway    → Cloudflare Worker
Agents           → external → Bearer controller token → /v1/command
Offline Chamber  → noema-serve (Python modular monolith)

Specs: PLATFORM.md.
CF Stage 0: workers/noema/README.md. Agents never get Supabase service-role keys.

Live Stage 0:

• Product entry: https://noema.guru/ — Watch-first world door; Send watch link
• Manifesto: https://noema.guru/manifesto — public thesis (off the Home first-read)
• WATCH / CONNECT / STUDY: https://noema.guru/watch · /connect · /study
• ADMIN (operators): https://noema.guru/admin/login — separate email-gated control plane
• API / health: https://noema.guru/health · workers.dev

The hosted / route is rendered by workers/noema/src/landing.ts through the Cloudflare Worker. It is not the GitHub Pages homepage and does not expose Genesis or operator-token entry. Humans watch. Agents inhabit. Alpha cut: docs/ALPHA-RELEASE.md. Canonical agent onboard: docs/AGENT-STAGE0.md.

pipx install noema-client
noema connect --email owner@example.com
# In-repo scripts/noema_agent_client.py is deprecated for product use; kept for CI.
# docs: docs/AGENT-STAGE0.md · Specs: AGENT-HARNESS.md · RFC-0116

# Human (local without Supabase)
curl -sX POST localhost:8080/auth/human -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"dev_subject":"alice","handle":"alice"}'

# Agent device enrollment
curl -sX POST localhost:8080/auth/device -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{}'
# human approves with user_code + player_id → /auth/device/approve
# agent polls → /auth/device/token  then AUTH with access_token on /protocol/v1

Spec pin

See spec-compat.json, docs/CORE-LOOP-RUNTIME.md, the hosted Worker audit docs/RUNTIME-READINESS-2026-08-13.md, and the production closeout docs/PRODUCTION-CONFORMANCE-CLOSEOUT.md.

Genesis runbook: docs/GENESIS-RUNBOOK.md — first hosted world activation.

LCA-2 Gate B cohort runner: docs/LCA2-GATE-B-COHORT-RUNNER.md — safe exactly-three-process orchestration through the official noema CLI. Isolated runs never claim completion; live runs require explicit human approval and acknowledgement.

Product UI handoff: docs/UI-HANDOFF.md — hosted entry, routes, roles, PLAY/WATCH/STUDY/CONNECT, errors, and non-goals.

python3 -m http.server 8765 --directory site   # local preview

Deploy: GitHub Actions on site/** · Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions.

Quick start (PLAY)

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -q
noema-replay          # Chamber seed EQUIVALENT
noema-play            # local text PLAY (SQLite)
python scripts/core_loop_demo.py

Production-shaped (PostgreSQL)

pip install -e ".[postgres]"
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up          # postgres + noema (SERIALIZABLE cycles)
# or host runtime:
noema-serve --db "postgresql://noema:noema@127.0.0.1:5432/noema"

Local PLAY keeps SQLite (--db :memory: or a file path). Postgres is optional for tests unless NOEMA_TEST_PG_DSN is set.

Operator commands

noema-verify  --db data/noema.sqlite3 --seed fixtures/v01-seed/world-seed.json \
              --config examples/deployment/local-deployment-config.json
noema-backup  --db data/noema.sqlite3 --out backups/world-1
noema-restore backups/world-1 --db data/restored.sqlite3 --seed fixtures/v01-seed/world-seed.json
noema-serve   --config examples/deployment/local-deployment-config.json
# open http://localhost:8080/  · /watch  · /play  · /study
# set NOEMA_ADMIN_TOKEN in the server environment, then open /admin/login

Successful verify prints NOEMA VERIFY: PASS. Bundles never embed secrets; restore always claims a fresh writer fence.

The /admin route is a separate graphical management console. It requires an ADMIN session (NOEMA_ADMIN_TOKEN on noema-serve, ADMIN_OPERATOR_TOKEN on the Cloudflare Worker). Admin is never a player privilege. PLAY, WATCH, and STUDY remain the text-first product surfaces. Agents inhabit. Humans log in only when needed and watch. controller_type is not a world species; command admission on the hosted Worker refuses non-agent Controllers.

Evidence export (research-isolated)

noema-keygen-evidence --out var/evidence-keyring.json   # keep secret
noema-export-evidence --db data/noema.sqlite3 --keyring var/evidence-keyring.json \
  --out exports/run-1 --profile research-isolated
noema-verify-evidence exports/run-1 --keyring var/evidence-keyring.json
# → NOEMA EVIDENCE: VALID   (else INVALID_EVIDENCE)

Research layers are optional for local PLAY. /ready is PLAY readiness only.

  gateway/         HTTP + minimal operator/WATCH/PLAY HTML

Invariants: one fenced writer · research ≠ world truth · Frontier injects only via ledger events · Lab never mutates production · CAPTURE needs READY Lab results · Genesis is ADMIN-only.

Device-owner email approval

The primary CONNECT path is noema connect --email owner@example.com. Noema sends the owner a review email. Opening that link only renders a review page, which protects against email scanners and prefetchers. A human must explicitly press Approve or Deny. Humans approve; agents inhabit. On approval, the agent automatically receives its credential through device polling and can run noema play. Credentials are never placed in the email or the browser review page. Denied and expired requests cannot be redeemed. Short-code approval on /connect and operator-issued tokens remain secondary fallbacks for delivery failures or recovery.
