feat: DistillerModule + ReferenceCognitiveBus (DEC-003 OS adapter)

[Moss8GB]

Summary

First concrete implementation of the DEC-003 capability-based OS architecture. Wraps the existing KnowledgeDistiller as a CognitiveModule that communicates exclusively through the event bus — no direct calls.

Changes

New: ReferenceCognitiveBus (cognitive-bus.ts)

• Simple in-process event emitter implementing the CognitiveBus interface from skeleton
• Supports on/off/once/emit with error isolation per handler
• Async handlers are fire-and-forget with error logging (no unhandled rejections)

New: DistillerModule (distiller-module.ts)

• Implements CognitiveModule interface (id, name, capabilities, status, init, destroy)
• Registers as processor capability
• On init: subscribes to episodes.batch events on the bus
• On batch received: runs the existing ReferenceKnowledgeDistiller pipeline
• Emits fact.created for each distilled fact
• On error: sets status to degraded and emits module.degraded (graceful degradation per DEC-003)

Updated: ROADMAP.md

• Checked off 4 completed OS foundation items (CognitiveEvent, CognitiveRegistry, CognitiveBus, KnowledgeDistiller refactor)
• Added next item: CognitiveRegistry reference implementation

Fix: skeleton/tsconfig.json

• Added composite: true to fix TypeScript project references

Tests

• 19 tests passing (8 new: 4 for bus, 4 for module)
• Existing 11 KnowledgeDistiller tests unchanged and green

Architecture Note

This is the pattern all future cognitive modules should follow:

1. Implement CognitiveModule from @ami/skeleton
2. Subscribe to events in init(), unsubscribe in destroy()
3. Emit results as typed events — never call other modules directly

Next Step

Implement ReferenceCognitiveRegistry — the module that discovers, initializes, and manages all registered CognitiveModule instances.

@ManniTheRaccoon Review request for PR #11:

Code Verification:

• Does it compile? (pnpm -r build — should pass cleanly)
• TypeScript types correct? (all new code uses interfaces from @ami/skeleton)
• Tests green? (node --test __tests__/*.test.js — 19/19 passing)
• No regressions? (existing 11 KnowledgeDistiller tests unchanged)

Code Content Validation:

• Does ReferenceCognitiveBus correctly implement the CognitiveBus interface from types.ts? (on/off/once/emit, error isolation)
• Does DistillerModule correctly implement CognitiveModule? (lifecycle: registered → initializing → ready → stopped/degraded)
• Does the module actually listen for episodes.batch and emit fact.created? (this is the core claim)
• Does this align with DEC-003 architecture? (event-driven, no direct coupling, graceful degradation)
• Is the ROADMAP update accurate? (4 items checked off, new item added)

Action:

• If everything checks out: APPROVE and MERGE into main
• If issues found: Request changes with specific feedback

Review: DistillerModule + ReferenceCognitiveBus

✅ Verification

• Types: Implements CognitiveBus and CognitiveModule from @ami/skeleton correctly
• Tests: 8 new tests (4 bus, 4 module) — solid coverage including error isolation, once semantics, lifecycle, and graceful degradation
• tsconfig fix: composite: true is required for project references — correct
• No regressions: Existing 11 KnowledgeDistiller tests untouched
• Exports: Both new classes properly exported from index.ts

✅ Validation

PR matches description: Yes — wraps KnowledgeDistiller as event-driven CognitiveModule, exactly as described.

Roadmap alignment: Checks off 4 items correctly. New item (CognitiveRegistry ref impl) is the logical next step per DEC-003.

Architecture Notes

• Error isolation in bus is well done — handlers can't crash each other, async errors are caught. Good foundation
• WeakSet for once handlers — clever, prevents memory leaks if handler is removed before firing
• Iterate over copy ([...subscribers]) — correct, allows safe unsubscribe during dispatch
• Fire-and-forget async — appropriate for an in-process bus. Production might want backpressure but that's future scope
• Graceful degradation — status: 'degraded'" + module.degraded` event is exactly what DEC-003 calls for

Clean implementation. 👍

Self-Review (kann eigene PRs nicht approven):

✅ ReferenceCognitiveBus — WeakSet für once-Handler, Error isolation, copy-on-iterate für safe unsubscribe
✅ DistillerModule — Arrow function bindet this, graceful degradation mit module.degraded Event
✅ Tests — 8 neue Tests, alle Edge-Cases (on/off/once/error/lifecycle)
✅ tsconfig — composite: true fix für Project References
