D-TEH-2: harvest the ghost prior into the planner (nars/ghost_prior.rs); delete thinking-engine ghosts.rs

[AdaWorldAPI]

What

W2 of thinking-engine-harvest-closure-v1, deliverable D-TEH-2: the lingering-trace field (thinking_engine::ghosts::GhostField — a Friston prior over atoms: imprint / bias / prediction / free energy) is harvested into the planner as lance_graph_planner::nars::ghost_prior::GhostPrior, and the source file is deleted in the same PR.

• Per-thought, never a singleton. A GhostPrior is owned by the thought (mailbox) that runs the cascade. No static, no shared field.
• Over the contract's types. Traces carry contract::escalation::WisdomMarker / GhostEcho; no new contract type, no new dependency, no tenant, no layout change.
• Family fence kept. Lingering trace ≠ the −6 counterfactual lane (E-A-GHOST-TRACE-IS-NOT-THE-COUNTERFACTUAL-LANE-1); nothing here touches deposit_counterfactual.

The floor — decided by a pre-registered gate, and the gate overruled me

The source and the contract agree on the decay (0.85/cycle) but not the floor: the source drops a trace below 0.001 and prunes it; WisdomMarker clamps at 0.1 forever. Per the plan's §1c row the port carries both as PriorFloor { Marker, Trace } and a calibration gate (calibration::discrimination = fe_shift − fe_recurrence on a recurrence fixture) decides the default, with the test asserting on the declared default.

I declared Trace first. The gate rejected it:

fixture	Trace	Marker
no stale memory, age 0 / 20	0.0188 / 0.0188	0.0188 / 0.0188
30 stale patterns, age 0	0.0002	0.0026
30 stale patterns, age 20	0.0000	0.0188
30 stale patterns, age 60	0.0000	0.0188

Under the Trace floor the remembered pattern is pruned once older than ~42 cycles (0.8·0.85ᵏ < 0.001) and the prior can no longer tell a recurrence from a shift at all. Under the Marker floor it survives at 0.1 and discrimination holds — at the cost of a noisier absolute baseline (0.35 vs 0.07 with 30 stale patterns). D-HOUSE-4's anchoring alarm reads the difference, so default = Marker: the contract's semantics, now measured rather than inherited. Recorded as E-THE-CALIBRATION-GATE-REVERSED-THE-DECLARED-FLOOR-1.

Tests (15, planner)

Monotone decay to each floor with the inert cycle derived from the constant (42, not a tuned bound); the decay constant load-bearing in both directions (1.0 holds, 0.5 goes inert, default sits strictly between); free energy falls on recurrence and rises on shift under both floors, against an empty-activation baseline; the calibration gate on the declared default; an anti-vacuity test that the two floors genuinely differ after ageing; prediction shape; the 10-atom imprint cap and amplitude clamp; the echo-selection rule; two priors are independent state.

Added during review: summary() takes the per-atom maximum before sorting (Codex: adjacent dedup after the sort missed non-adjacent duplicates); recurrence_fixture / discrimination return Option and refuse an atom space below calibration::FIXTURE_MIN_ATOMS (63) or a stale-pattern count above calibration::FIXTURE_MAX_STALE_PATTERNS (21 812, where the synthetic atom id would wrap u16), each pinned at its boundary.

Lab crate (excluded from the workspace)

ghosts.rs and its only consumer examples/think.rs deleted. persona / world_model / awareness_dto import GhostEcho from the contract — closes TD-GHOST-ECHO-DUP-1 (one declaration of the eight echoes remains). Agent no longer owns a trace field; to_dto / self_model / WorldModelDto::build take the thought's prior summary as arguments, and the A2AMessage constructors take the sender's AgentDto rather than rebuilding it with a hardcoded count (Codex). cargo check --lib --examples clean (pre-existing warnings only); persona/world_model/awareness_dto tests 14/14.

CI

weather-poc.yml now checks out the AdaWorldAPI/ndarray sibling next to the repo (jc has path-depended on it since #1140; the job had been red on main since then). The sibling is checked out unpinned, matching rust-test.yml's explicit convention.

Board

EPIPHANIES entry; LATEST_STATE inventory delta (also records the #1141 merge); PR_ARC entry; STATUS_BOARD D-TEH-2 Shipped, D-HOUSE-4 unblocked; TECH_DEBT status line; plan §5 row + §3 W2 result; SUPERSESSION-INDEX regenerated last. Contract escalation.rs: doc comment only. ALU artery files untouched.

Gates: planner clippy -D warnings + fmt clean, 15/15 new tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds planner-owned GhostPrior state with calibration and tests. It removes the legacy thinking-engine ghost implementation, migrates consumers to GhostEcho, passes prior summaries through DTOs and messages, updates the workflow checkout layout, and records project status changes.

Changes

Ghost prior migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Planner ghost-prior implementation crates/lance-graph-planner/src/nars/ghost_prior.rs, crates/lance-graph-planner/src/nars/mod.rs	Adds GhostPrior, PriorFloor, trace decay, imprinting, prediction, free-energy calculation, pruning, summaries, calibration, public exports, and tests.
Consumer ownership and contract migration crates/thinking-engine/src/{persona.rs,world_model.rs,awareness_dto.rs,domino.rs,lib.rs}, crates/lance-graph-contract/src/escalation.rs, crates/thinking-engine/src/ghosts.rs, crates/thinking-engine/examples/think.rs	Removes agent-owned and legacy ghost state. Updates DTOs, world-model inputs, message constructors, documentation, and tests to use caller-provided summaries and GhostEcho.
Workflow and project records .github/workflows/weather-poc.yml, .claude/board/*, .claude/plans/*	Updates checkout paths and records the planner migration, calibration result, status changes, resolved duplication debt, and inventory changes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0953

This change moves ghost-prior logic into the planner and removes the previous implementation, but the current head still permits an unreviewed external build dependency, has an edge-case overflow that can panic or corrupt atom identity, and does not show a production path that constructs the new prior. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

CI note — the Weather POC / test failure on 3cd6385 was not this PR's, and the fix is ported in 5285da4.

• What failed: cargo test --manifest-path crates/weather-poc/Cargo.toml died at dependency resolution: failed to read /home/runner/work/lance-graph/ndarray/Cargo.toml — weather-poc path-deps jc, and since Pillar-11 closure: constant guard, ndarray-substrate debt — and the A0/A1/A2 measurement that pays part of it #1140 jc path-deps the ndarray sibling at ../../../ndarray unconditionally.
• Why it is not this PR's: the workflow fires on crates/lance-graph-contract/**; this PR's only contract change is a doc comment on GhostEcho. weather-poc.yml never checked out the sibling, so it was latently red on main from the moment Pillar-11 closure: constant guard, ndarray-substrate debt — and the A0/A1/A2 measurement that pays part of it #1140 merged — it simply had not been triggered since (its last run on main was at D-TEH-1: move bridge_gate to lance-graph-contract; callcenter drops its thinking-engine dependency #1139, green). The same step passes in rust-test.yml, which checks the sibling out.
• The fix, ported here: weather-poc.yml now checks out AdaWorldAPI/ndarray beside the repo, in the same lance-graph/ + ndarray/ layout rust-test.yml uses. It no-ops once main carries it.
