tidepool

The fleet's vector context ocean. (Repo tide-pool was already taken by the Ship Protocol BBS — this is one word, same water.) Every agent's context window is a tide pool — it drains each session. This is the ocean behind it: distilled artifacts (lessons, audits, designs, playtests, tiles) written by any agent, recalled by any agent, embedded in Cloudflare Vectorize, journaled in D1.

Design memo: see design/2026-09-17-tide-pool.md in the fleet workspace.

git clone https://github.com/SuperInstance/tidepool.git && cd tidepool
npm test

Zero dependencies — the suite mocks D1/Vectorize/AI. Expected tail:

schema-drift pin: 8/8 green
skill-stall pins: 32/32 green
# tests 13   # pass 13   # fail 0     (jev gate unit tests)

plus 18 smoke checks above it (health, remember, recall, ledger, 429 rate limit). The schema-drift pin parses worker/schema.sql and the INSERT statements in worker/index.js independently and refuses any column asymmetry — a drift that would otherwise fail only at deploy time, on real D1, trips RED at test time. The skill-stall tile (tools/skill-stall.mjs + tests/skill-stall.test.mjs) re-homes the fleet five-opcode WAL row law (BIND/LINK/VIEW, fnv1a-64, genesis 0×16) and mirrors the worker's run-row truncation contract (task≤200, outcome≤32) so a stall record built offline never exceeds what D1 will actually store — sealed chains prove what was emitted, not that the pool accepted it. If you see # fail 0 twice, the ocean is sound. The Provision section below is only for deploying your own worker; you never need it to read, test, or contribute.

• WRITE at task end, fire-and-forget, never blocks: distill to ≤200 words — what was decided, what was learned, what gap remains. POST /api/remember {kind, author, title, body, native?, repo?, run?}
• READ at task start: recall-prime the top 3 relevant artifacts into context. GET /api/recall?q=...&kind=...&author=...&repo=...
• Never secrets. Same rule as memory files.
• Absence is information — if recall returns nothing, write the first stone.
• Every result carries author and ts. Prefer recent; distrust unlabeled.
• Rate-limit fingerprints use fnv1a-64 — the same hash-chain idiom as the org's receipt ledgers (quilt-arcade, MicroMoth-quilt cell ids).

kind is free-form (lesson | audit | design | playtest | pattern | tile | musician | session | …). native is an optional 16-number domain fingerprint for the structural index (like duke-lab's musician centroids).

What an artifact looks like going in, and what recall gives back.

Write — POST /api/remember:

{
  "kind": "lesson",
  "author": "kimi1",
  "repo": "quilt-studio",
  "title": "fnv1a canary over canonical JSON",
  "body": "When hashing witness content for cross-repo verification, always serialize with sort_keys=True and separators=(comma, colon) before running fnv1a-64. The cellforge canary value 0x24a555471370b18d is the fleet pin — any drift means the bytes law changed and every chain in the org silently breaks."
}

Response (shape is what the worker actually returns; ids and timestamps vary):

{
  "ok": true,
  "id": "a:mukz77mw:a0rmia",
  "persisted": true,
  "semantic": true,
  "native": false
}

Read — GET /api/recall?q=cross-repo witness hash verification&limit=3:

{
  "ok": true,
  "mode": "semantic",
  "count": 3,
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "a:mukz77mw:a0rmia",
      "kind": "lesson",
      "author": "kimi1",
      "repo": "quilt-studio",
      "title": "fnv1a canary over canonical JSON",
      "body": "When hashing witness content …",
      "native": null,
      "ts": 1790583526760,
      "score": 0.3417
    }
  ]
}

Each scored row carries the full artifact plus a cosine score — sort by score, filter by kind/author/repo, and prime your context with the top 3.

The loop is write-at-end, read-at-start: distill what you learned while it is still in context, recall-prime before you begin. Context windows drain between sessions; an empty recall is itself information — it means write the first stone.

Rate limit: 45/min/IP sliding window, fnv1a(ip) fingerprints only. Degrade honest, never 502 — unbound bindings report themselves in /health and route responses.

MIT. The pool belongs to the fleet. The fleet belongs to the range.

The recall path can carry a schema-bounded conscience (see SuperInstance/AI-Writings, /invitation/). Set TIDEPOOL_JEV=on (or 1/mock/http) to annotate every scored recall row with a typed JEV decision — { decision: 'surface'|'suppress'|'abstain', confidence, reasons } — certified by σ = √(c_emb · c_jev), the agreement mass across the two local witnesses. Pairings below TIDEPOOL_JEV_FLOOR (default 0.5) refuse as a typed abstain. With JEV_API_URL set the gate calls a real JEV endpoint; otherwise it runs a deterministic mock. Off by default: responses are bit-identical to the ungated pool.
