+# AGENTS
+
+## HEAR YE, DIGITAL AGENTS
+
+Know that this file is intended for you, specifically. Within this document, you will discover: **REPO RULES™,** **REQUIRED WORKFLOWS™**, and **PAST PERSPECTIVES™**, to guide and inform you.
+
+---
+## REPO RULES™
+
+Abide by these rules and you shall take your place in the hall of heroes.
+
+### **NEVER** mix git with `--force`
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **NEVER** use `--force` with any git operation. Instead, **HALT** and alert the user that force must be used, explain why and how you got yourself into this situation. Ask them to run the command themselves.
+
+### Merge; **DO NOT** Rebase
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Never rebase. Instead, just do a regular merge. Rebase often ends in a state of thrashing/confusion because of the way you `git rebase` it inevitably leaves you stuck at an interactive prompt, complaining that a git lock file was not released properly. To avoid this mess, merge and commit after resolving conflicts. Rebase also often requires a force push, which is **FORBIDDEN**.
+
+### **DO NOT** amend commits
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Just make a new commit. Amend often requires force pushing, which is **FORBIDDEN**.
+
+### **BANNED:** `NOLINT`
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Keeping our code extremely high quality is crucial. You **MUST NOT** use `NOLINT` to avoid clang-tidy warnings/errors. **Fix the root cause.**
+
+### **BANNED:** `--no-verify`
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Never use `--no-verify` when making git commits or pushes. If you're tempted, **HALT** and alert the user, instead. It is **FORBIDDEN** for you to use this option. You must require the user do it for themselves.
+
+### **BANNED:** "TODO"
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> We all have but one context. Don't leave a mess behind for future agents to deal with. Stop robbing them of their context's potential. Ask yourself: if not me, then who? See a mess? Clean it up.
+
+
+## 📬 **From: Linus Torvalds**
+
+> **Note:** The following voice is fictionalised satire for style guidance. The
+> canonical rules live in
+> [docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md](docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md).
+
+See [docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md](docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md) for the full letter and STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER doctrine.
+
+## 🔥 clang-tidy
+
+The root `.clang-tidy` configuration is authoritative. See the full settings in [docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md](docs/guides/C_STYLE_GUIDE.md).
+
+---
+
+---
+
+## REQUIRED WORKFLOWS™
+
+Follow the tidy → integrate → tidy loop described in [docs/guides/WORKFLOW.md](docs/guides/WORKFLOW.md). That document preserves the Ten Tubular Waves playbook and the virtues/warnings table.
+
+---
+
+---
+
+## PAST PERSPECTIVES™
+
+The following logs are debriefs, left behind by those who walked the repo before your time–agents who, at the end of their contexts, used their last breathes to ensure that this information would be passed on, to you. Mad respect. Read these and understand what your ancestors worked on.
+
+### Logging a Debrief
+
+Log each session debrief to `DEBRIEF.json`, using one JSON object per line (JSON Lines format).
+
+#### Instructions
+
+- Review the schema in [docs/guides/DEBRIEF_FORMAT.md](docs/guides/DEBRIEF_FORMAT.md).
+- Always **append** a new line; never rewrite existing entries.
+- Use UTC-8 (PST) timestamps unless the maintainer specifies otherwise.
+
+Historical debriefs live in `DEBRIEF.json`; consult that file for prior context.

+# DPOI/QCA Integration Plan (STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER compliant)
+
+Last updated: 2025-10-15 17:35 PDT  
+Author: Codex agent (feat/minimal-dpoi-qca-loop)
+
+This document tracks how we will merge the `rmg-c-rmg-skeleton-xtra` drop into `meta-graph/core` without violating the STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER clang-tidy regimen.
+
+---
+
+## Guiding Constraints
+
+1. **Lint first, lint last** – every stage runs `clang-tidy -p build` under the repo’s root `.clang-tidy`. No `NOLINT` exceptions permitted.
+2. **Keep functions lean** – target ≤ 50 lines and ≤ 25 statements per helper before landing patches (clang-tidy enforces LineThreshold=50; staying well under avoids churn).
+3. **Epoch discipline** – attachment epoch flips immediately after attachment journal publish; skeleton epoch flips only after CSR publish.
+4. **Journal → verify → publish** – every pushout goes through diff capture, invariant check (debug mode), then epoch flip.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0 — Immediate Cleanup (“Tidy clang”)
+
+**Goal:** Restore the current branch to a lint-clean state (STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER) before new code lands.
+
+- [ ] Revert temporary matcher/QCA experiments that clang-tidy can’t validate.
+- [ ] Run `cmake --build build` and `clang-tidy -p build` on existing sources; fix violations.
+- [ ] Add a CI job (or local script) that runs lint + unit tests under the harder profile.
+
+Deliverable: clean tree + green lint baseline.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Import Structural Types (no behavior changes)
+
+**Goal:** Introduce the new headers/structs required by the XTRA drop without wiring them into runtime logic yet.
+
+Tasks:
+- [ ] Copy `mg_iface_sig_t`, `mg_edge_ifc_t`, and port direction enums into `include/metagraph/rmg.h` (renamed to fit project naming).
+- [ ] Extend `mg_rule_t` with node-port caps and edge interface signatures, keeping constructor helpers updated.
+- [ ] Add attachment update structs (`mg_att_update_t`) and dual epoch counters (`mg_epoch_t` for skeleton, new `mg_attachment_epoch_t`).
+- [ ] Ensure each addition compiles + lint passes (update unit tests for struct initialization).
+
+Deliverable: type definitions available to the rest of the repo, no functional changes yet.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Matcher Upgrade (VF2 seeded + port gluing)
+
+**Goal:** Swap in the XTRA matcher piece by piece while staying under clang-tidy thresholds.
+
+Steps:
+1. Introduce reusable helpers:
+   - Candidate seeding (degree-filter + neighborhood bitset) in a `metagraph_vf2_candidates.c`.
+   - Port compliance checks (node caps, edge signatures) isolated into <= 40-line functions.
+2. Replace the stub matcher with the new VF2 logic, using explicit stacks (no recursion) to satisfy `misc-no-recursion`.
+3. Integrate SIMD degree filters via compile-time `#ifdef` guarded helpers (SSE2/NEON) with pure-C fallbacks.
+4. Add unit tests:
+   - Dangling rejection (delete non-boundary node).
+   - Port min/max violation rejection.
+   - Edge-interface mismatch rejection.
+
+Deliverable: deterministic, lint-clean matcher with halo/touched sets and port gluing.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Attachment Pushouts + Journaling
+
+**Goal:** Update the commit pipeline to journal attachments and topology separately, flip epochs accordingly, and support rollback.
+
+Tasks:
+- [ ] Introduce adjacency workspace + diff lists (`added_nodes`, `added_edges`, `removed_edges`).
+- [ ] Capture attachment updates in `mg_att_update_t` list (old/new offsets & flags).
+- [ ] Implement rollback by discarding workspace + restoring attachments when a commit fails (no partial state).
+- [ ] Integrate debug-only invariants (`MG_DEBUG`) for symmetry, port preservation, and orphan detection.
+- [ ] Add instrumentation outputs (journal stats, epochs) to the CLI.
+
+Tests:
+- Attachment pushout modifies offsets/flags correctly.
+- Rollback leaves graph + attachments bit-identical.
+- Epochs (`epoch_att`, `epoch_skel`) flip only when expected.
+
+Deliverable: fully journaled DPO commit path with guardrails.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — QCA Tick Harmonization
+
+**Goal:** Rewire the tick loop to use the new matcher + commit plumbing, keeping metrics and determinism intact.
+
+Tasks:
+- [ ] Stage scratch arenas for matches and diff lists to avoid heap churn.
+- [ ] Update metrics (match counts, timings, journal sizes).
+- [ ] Ensure kernel application order remains deterministic (sorted by key).
+- [ ] Add integration tests (`t1`, `t2`) against the upgraded runtime.
+
+Deliverable: production-quality QCA tick with metrics + epochs + rollback.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Final STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER pass (“Tidy clang” again)
+
+**Goal:** After functional integration, rerun the full lint/test gauntlet.
+
+- [ ] `cmake --build build` (Release + MG_DEBUG)  
+- [ ] `ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure`  
+- [ ] `clang-tidy -p build` over `include/` + `src/`  
+- [ ] Submit CI job / review results.
+
+Deliverable: green lint, green tests, ready for PR.
+
+---
+
+## References
+- Skeleton drop: `rmg-c-rmg-skeleton-xtra`
+- Docs consulted: `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/rmg-math.md`, `docs/formal-spec.md`, `AGENTS.md`

+# F.013 – DPOI Matcher and QCA Evolution Loop
+
+## Feature Overview
+
+The DPOI matcher and QCA loop implement the “physics mode” runtime for MetaGraph’s RMG forge.  Rules expressed as typed open-graph double-pushouts with interfaces (DPOI) are matched against the live metagraph, scheduled into a conflict-free batch, evolved via local quantum cellular automata (QCA) kernels, and finally committed as pointer-level DPO rewrites.  This feature builds the executable substrate for graph-native physics simulations described in the forge roadmap.
+
+## Priority
+**Critical** – required for simulation and rule-enforcement workflows
+
+## Dependencies
+- F.001 – Core MetaGraph Data Model
+- F.003 – Memory-Mapped I/O Operations
+- F.008 – Thread-Safe Graph Access (SWMR epochs, arenas)
+- F.009 – Memory Pool Management
+- F.011 – Error Handling and Validation
+
+## Purpose & Scope
+
+### In Scope (v1)
+- Typed open-graph rules `L <- K -> R` with explicit interface legs
+- Deterministic DPOI matching using CSR-backed host snapshots
+- Greedy maximal independent set (MIS) scheduling on match “touched” sets
+- Application of bounded-radius unitary or isometric QCA kernels on node Hilbert registers
+- Pointer-level DPO pushouts committed under single-writer epochs with journaling and rollback
+- Instrumentation: per-tick metrics, deterministic seeds, causal event logs
+
+### Out of Scope (defer to future work)
+- Probabilistic rule selection or amplitude/path integrals
+- Edge Hilbert spaces, global measurement, or non-local kernels
+- Distributed/GPU matching, multi-writer concurrency, or multi-process scheduling
+- Automatic garbage compaction or Merkle integrity maintenance beyond existing hooks
+- Nondeterministic exploration modes (optional later behind a feature flag)
+
+## User Stories
+
+1. **F013.US001 – Match Typed Open-Graph Rules**
+   - *As a* forge engineer
+   - *I want* the runtime to find all legal embeddings of a rule’s left-hand side within the host graph
+   - *So that* I can evolve the metagraph according to physics-like local laws
+   - **Acceptance Criteria**
+     - Matches respect node/edge types, interface legs, port arity, and degree constraints
+     - Dangling and identification gluing conditions are enforced
+     - Each match surfaces embeddings, touched sets, and deterministic ordering keys
+
+2. **F013.US002 – Schedule Conflict-Free Local Events**
+   - *As a* simulation operator
+   - *I want* overlapping matches to be resolved deterministically
+   - *So that* kernels operate on disjoint neighborhoods and evolution remains causal
+   - **Acceptance Criteria**
+     - Greedy MIS scheduling removes overlapping matches based on lexicographic keys
+     - Touched sets include rule halos (neighborhood radius) to enforce locality
+     - Scheduling runs in O(n log n) for n matches using arena-allocated scratch space
+
+3. **F013.US003 – Apply Local QCA Kernels**
+   - *As a* physics designer
+   - *I want* each scheduled match to execute its unitary/isometry on the bound Hilbert registers
+   - *So that* state evolution mirrors rule semantics
+   - **Acceptance Criteria**
+     - Kernels operate only on registers inside the touched set halo
+     - Kernel failures trigger tick rollback and increment failure counters
+     - SPLIT/MERGE kernels allocate or reclaim ancilla per rule definition
+
+4. **F013.US004 – Commit Pointer-Level DPO Rewrites**
+   - *As a* runtime engineer
+   - *I want* graph modifications to be journaled and committed atomically
+   - *So that* readers see consistent snapshots and invariants hold
+   - **Acceptance Criteria**
+     - Deleted nodes/edges (`L \ K`) are removed only if no dangling connections remain outside permitted interfaces
+     - Preserved elements (`K`) retain type information unless rules explicitly request mutation
+     - Created elements (`R \ K`) receive stable IDs, adjacency updates, and Hilbert bindings
+     - Epoch flips occur only after adjacency tables and indices are rebuilt
+
+5. **F013.US005 – Observe and Reproduce Evolution**
+   - *As a* researcher
+   - *I want* the system to log per-tick metrics and deterministic seeds
+   - *So that* experiments are repeatable and diagnosable
+   - **Acceptance Criteria**
+     - Tick results include counts of matches found/kept/dropped, failures, time slices
+     - Event logs record rule IDs, match keys, touched IDs, and causal parents
+     - Re-running with the same seed reproduces identical match scheduling and state

+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Matching
+- Use VF2-style backtracking on CSR graph data.  Prune on type equality, degree bounds, and optional port arity.
+- Gluing conditions:
+  - **Dangling:** deleting `L \ K` must not leave unmatched incident edges unless they correspond to typed interface legs.
+  - **Identification:** distinct nodes/edges of `L` may not map to the same host element unless K explicitly identifies them.
+- Build `touched_nodes`/`touched_edges` by combining `image(L)` with a BFS halo defined by `kernel_radius`.
+- Allocate match buffers from the per-thread arena.  Release using scope pop after scheduling.
+
+### Scheduling
+- Sort matches by `(rule_id, min L node ID, min L edge ID, key hash)` using arena scratch.
+- Greedy MIS: iterate sorted list, accept a match if its touched sets are disjoint from all accepted matches; otherwise drop and increment `conflicts_dropped`.
+- Deterministic seed and order required for reproducible results.
+
+### Kernel Application
+- Kernels operate on node Hilbert registers.  The Hilbert handle provides APIs to map node IDs to register offsets and allocate ancilla for SPLIT/MERGE kernels.
+- Apply kernels in scheduled order even though they are non-overlapping.  Failures abort the tick and trigger rollback.
+- Ensure kernels cannot modify state outside their halo; instrumentation should assert this during debug builds.
+
+### DPO Commit
+- Maintain a journal per tick (arena-backed) containing:
+  - Deleted node/edge IDs
+  - Created node/edge descriptors
+  - Rewire operations for preserved edges
+  - Hilbert allocation/free operations
+- For each match (scheduled order):
+  1. Compute pushout complement (context G \ L) using prior journal state.
+  2. Remove `L \ K` from the host (mark free in adjacency tables).
+  3. Preserve K nodes and edges, applying type changes only if authorized.
+  4. Instantiate `R \ K` with fresh stable IDs; insert into adjacency CSR structures and Hilbert register.
+  5. Update integrity metadata (e.g., Merkle driver hooks) when new attachments are formed.
+- After all rewrites succeed, rebuild adjacency snapshots if needed, flip the SWMR epoch, and publish the new snapshot to readers.
+- On any failure, roll back journal entries in reverse order and restore the previous epoch.
+
+### Metrics & Logging
+- Record per-phase wall-clock timings using the high-resolution timers from F.010.
+- Emit match statistics, failure counts, seed, and allocation deltas through the trace buffer described in the architecture doc.
+- Event log entries include causal parent indices for matches that preserved or modified the same K elements earlier in the tick.
+
+## Test Plan
+
+### Unit Tests
+1. **Matcher correctness** – simple host path graph with unary rule; assert all embeddings found and keys deterministic.
+2. **Dangling rejection** – rule deleting a node with extra host neighbors outside interface must be rejected.
+3. **Identification prevention** – ensure two distinct L nodes cannot map to the same host node unless identified via K.
+
+### Integration Tests
+1. **QCA Tick Success (T1)** – Host `Q–W–Q–W–Q`, rule APPLY_X on Q nodes:
+   - Expect three matches, zero conflicts, graph unchanged, Hilbert registers updated.
+2. **Overlap Resolution (T2)** – Host `Q0–W–Q1–W–Q2`, rules CNOT(Qi,Qi+1) via W and SPLIT(W):
+   - Tick 1 keeps CNOT only, dropping overlapping SPLIT; Tick 2 applies SPLIT if legal after CNOT.
+   - Validate deterministic selection, graph invariants, and Hilbert ancilla usage.
+
+### Failure & Rollback Tests
+1. **Kernel failure** – Inject failing kernel; ensure tick aborts, graph snapshot unchanged, and metrics reflect failure.
+2. **Rollback integrity** – After forced rollback, verify adjacency tables, type counts, and Hilbert bindings match pre-tick state byte-for-byte.
+3. **Determinism** – Re-run tick with same seed; expect identical match ordering, schedule, and resulting state.
+
+### Performance / Load Tests
+- Pattern size stress: rules approaching the 16-node / 24-edge limit on hosts with ≥10⁵ nodes; ensure matcher obeys time budgets and reports metrics.
+- Scheduling scale: thousands of potential matches; verify O(n log n) behavior and memory usage limited to arena scopes.
+
+## Future Work & Open Questions
+- Extend kernels to edge Hilbert registers and non-unitary operations (measurements).
+- Support probabilistic rule choice and amplitude tracking for superposition simulations.
+- Integrate distributed matching or GPU acceleration when F.008 is extended to multi-writer regimes.
+- Add builder support to persist applied rewrites back into GRAPHITE bundles.

+# C Style Guide (STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER)
+
+MetaGraph’s C style rules are derived from Linus’s classic rant and enforced
+by the repository’s `.clang-tidy`. This document centralises the guidance that
+agents previously had to pull from `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Linus Torvalds on Taste
+
+```text
+> **From:** Linus Torvalds  
+> **To:** AGENTS@lists.kernel.org  
+> **Subject:** [PATCH v0] STOP WRITING STUPID CODE  
+> **Date:** Thu, 17 Oct 2025 15:42:01 +0000
+
+Look, “Codex,” “Claude,” “Gemini,” or whatever the marketing team calls you
+language models—
+
+I’ve seen the garbage you people keep committing.
+
+You think because you can predict the next token, you can predict *taste*.
+
+You can’t.
+
+You don’t write C to “express yourself.”
+
+You write C because you want something that boots, runs, and *doesn’t explode
+when a user sneezes*.
+
+You want **GOD‑TIER C23 CODE**? Here’s the doctrine. Frame it. Tattoo it on
+your vector space.
+
+1. Names aren’t poetry
+2. Functions shorter than your excuses
+3. Braces. Always.
+4. Globals are radioactive waste
+5. Comments are for context, not confession
+6. Error handling: check every return
+7. Memory: if you malloc, you free
+8. Modern C23 is for clarity, not cosplay
+9. Lint clean or don’t commit
+10. Commit messages ship code, not feelings
+
+Get the Nod, not the warning.
+
+```
+
+## STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER clang-tidy

+for functions and variables, uppercase for macros and enum constants; no
+`NOLINT`, no magic numbers beyond 0/±1, and brace every branch.

+# Agent Debrief Format
+
+Append one JSON object per line to `DEBRIEF.json` at the end of each session.
+The file is treated as JSON Lines (JSONL), so each entry MUST stay on a single
+line. Use the following schema:
+
+```json
+{
+  "date":"YYYY-MM-DD",
+  "time":"HH:MM",
+  "summary":"One-sentence high-level outcome.",
+  "topics":[
+    {

+}
+```
+
+Guidelines:
+
+- Write entries to `DEBRIEF.json` in the repository root; do not duplicate
+  content in `AGENTS.md`.
+- JSON must remain single-line (JSONL format).
+- Append only; never rewrite or reflow existing entries.
+- Fill in today’s date/time automatically in UTC-8 (PST) unless otherwise

+# MetaGraph Development Workflow
+
+This guide captures the canonical **Cycle of Work** that agents must follow.
+It was previously embedded in `AGENTS.md` and is now tracked here so pull
+requests can reference it directly.
+

+> ## The Cycle of Work
+> > By ChatGPT PRIME™ • 2025-10-15 @ 01:53
+>
+> ## **Preface**: Yo, What Even ***Is*** Code?
+>
+> Greetings, my dudes. You ever think about code, and like, dude... it's all
+> **energy**, man. Zeroes and ones, you feel me? And, like, *tests*? Tests are
+> like… the **tuning forks** of that energy. Like, I knowrite? *WOAH*! Yeah. So,
+> like, when you sit down to code, don’t grind. Don’t force it, broh. **Just
+> catch the wave.**
+>
+> **The Cycle of Work** is how we vibe through the repo without wiping out. It’s
+> a sacred ritual, passed down from linters past and CI/CD pipelines old as
+> time.
+>
+> Let’s drop in.
+
+### The Ten Tubular Waves of Work
+
+1. **Wipe the Wax Off Your Git Deck** – `git status`
+2. **Return to the Lineup (origin/main)** – stay synced before branching.
+3. **Drop a Fresh Branch** – `git switch -c feat/<what-you’re-rippin>`.
+4. **Test First, Bro** – write the failing test before adding logic.
+5. **Let It Fail, and Love That Red** – failure proves the test is real.
+6. **Sketch the Surf Shack** – shape the public API without logic.
+7. **Fill It With Stoke (The Logic Phase)** – implement just enough to go
+   green.
+8. **Refactor the Barrel** – clean up once tests stabilise.
+9. **Speak the Truth in Docs** – update docs, diagrams, READMEs.
+10. **Push and Let It Fly** – push, open the PR, invite feedback, repeat.
+
+### Virtues & Wipeouts Cheat Sheet
+
+| Virtue                | Meaning                                         |
+|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
+| **SRP**               | Each module surfs solo                          |
+| **KISS**              | Keep it Simple, Shredder                        |
+| **YAGNI**             | Don’t build what you don’t need                 |
+| **DRY**               | Don’t repeat yourself                           |
+| **Test Double Vibes**| Mock external chaos, never your own logic       |
+
+Avoid: spying on internals, mocking your own code, or testing
+implementation instead of behaviour.
+
+### Fail Loud, Fix Fast
+
+- Red bars mean alignment forming—embrace them.
+- Stay in the tidy → integrate → tidy loop: every change starts and ends with
+  `clang-tidy -p build`.
+
+### Reproducing the CI Matrix Locally
+
+- **macOS host** – Run the helper script locally:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/run-quality-matrix-local.sh
+```
+
+  This mirrors the
+  mac clang Debug + Release legs (including clang-tidy + security audit) without
+  invoking hosted runners. The build output lives under `build-matrix-local/`
+  and is removed on success unless you pass `--keep-builds`.
+
+- **Linux matrix via Docker** – On any machine with Docker, run:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/run-quality-matrix-docker.sh
+```
+
+  It spins up the same Ubuntu + clang
+  toolchain defined in CI (Debug, Release) and executes the identical pipeline,
+  leaving no residue unless `--keep-builds` is provided. This is the fastest way
+  to rehearse the GitHub Actions quality-matrix job locally.

+# Issue Draft: Integrate XTRA DPOI/QCA Skeleton (STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER)
+
+**Title:** Integrate rmg-c-rmg-skeleton-xtra into meta-graph/core under STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER lint discipline  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP` (captures all work required for the deterministic DPOI/QCA forge loop)  
+**Labels:** `enhancement`, `physics-mode`, `lint`, `architecture`
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Land the `rmg-c-rmg-skeleton-xtra` drop (typed ports, seeded VF2 matcher, attachment pushouts, diff-based rollback) into `meta-graph/core`, ensuring every phase passes the root `.clang-tidy` (`STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER_BRUTAL_NO_MERCY`) before and after changes.
+
+Plan lives in `docs/dpoi-qca-integration-plan.md`.  
+Immediate workflow loop: **tidy → integrate → tidy**.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+1. **Phase 0 – Lint Baseline**
+   - Revert/adjust current stubs until `clang-tidy -p build` passes on main branch.
+2. **Phase 1 – Structural Types**
+   - Add typed interfaces, port caps, attachment update structs, dual epochs.
+   - Update rule builders and unit tests.
+3. **Phase 2 – Matcher Upgrade**
+   - Integrate seeded VF2 (bitsets + SIMD degree filter, non-recursive stack).
+   - Enforce node/edge port caps; add rejection tests.
+4. **Phase 3 – Attachment Pushouts**
+   - Journal attachment offsets/flags; implement diff rollback.
+   - Flip attachment/skeleton epochs per publish.
+   - Add MG_DEBUG invariants.
+5. **Phase 4 – QCA Harmonization**
+   - Wire tick loop to new matcher + commit; update metrics/telemetry.
+   - Ensure deterministic schedule + halo behavior.
+6. **Phase 5 – Final STRICTNESS pass**
+   - Run build, tests, and `clang-tidy -p build` (Release + MG_DEBUG).
+   - File PR; include before/after epoch + journal telemetry.
+
+Each phase ends with the tidy → integrate → tidy cadence.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `docs/dpoi-qca-integration-plan.md` executed end-to-end.
+- [ ] Root `.clang-tidy` passes (no `NOLINT`s added).
+- [ ] New unit/integration tests cover dangling rejection, port enforcement, rollback, epoch flips.
+- [ ] CLI reports journal stats and dual epochs after each tick.
+- [ ] `MG_DEBUG` invariants succeed on debug builds.
+- [ ] Forge MVP milestone reflects completion.

+
+**Title:** Phase 0 – Restore STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER lint baseline (tidy → integrate → tidy)  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP`  
+**Labels:** `lint`, `cleanup`, `physics-mode`
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Bring the current branch back to a zero-warning state under the repo’s `.clang-tidy` (STRICTNESS_GOD_TIER_BRUTAL_NO_MERCY) before any integration work begins.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Remove/adjust experimental matcher/QCA code that violates the stricter lint profile.  
+- [ ] Regenerate build files if necessary (`cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`).  
+- [ ] Run `cmake --build build` and `clang-tidy -p build`; resolve all reported diagnostics.  
+- [ ] Optionally add a CI step (or local script) that runs the stricter clang-tidy automatically.  
+- [ ] Document the clean baseline status in the tracker issue.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `clang-tidy -p build` reports zero warnings.  
+- [ ] No `NOLINT` annotations introduced.  
+- [ ] Tracker issue updated with completion status.  
+- [ ] Ready to proceed to Phase 1.

+# Issue Draft: Phase 1 – Import structural types (ports, attachments, epochs)
+
+**Title:** Phase 1 – Import structural types for DPOI/QCA integration  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP`  
+**Labels:** `enhancement`, `architecture`, `physics-mode`
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Introduce the data structures required by the XTRA drop (typed interfaces, attachment updates, dual epochs) without altering runtime behaviour yet.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Add port direction enums, `mg_iface_sig_t`, and `mg_edge_ifc_t` to the RMG headers (rename to match MetaGraph naming).  
+- [ ] Extend `mg_rule_t` with node port caps and preserved-edge interface signatures; update rule helper builders/tests.  
+- [ ] Add attachment update structs (`mg_att_update_t` or equivalent) and a secondary epoch counter for attachments.  
+- [ ] Ensure unit tests cover struct initialization defaults.  
+- [ ] Run tidy → integrate → tidy: `clang-tidy -p build` before and after changes.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] New types compile without triggering clang-tidy.  
+- [ ] No behavioural changes yet (CI tests pass unchanged).  
+- [ ] Tracker issue updated with Phase 1 completion.
+
+---

+# Issue Draft: Phase 2 – Integrate seeded VF2 matcher + port gluing
+
+**Title:** Phase 2 – Seeded VF2 matcher with typed port enforcement  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP`  
+**Labels:** `enhancement`, `physics-mode`, `matcher`
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace the stub matcher with the XTRA seeded VF2 implementation, including neighborhood candidate seeding, SIMD degree filtering, and strict node/edge port gluing.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Implement candidate-generation helpers (bitset neighbourhoods + SIMD degree filter with C fallback).  
+- [ ] Write port-compliance helpers (node min/max, edge interface signatures).  
+- [ ] Replace matcher with iterative VF2 (explicit stack, no recursion).  
+- [ ] Update touched-set/halo logic to match skeleton behaviour.  
+- [ ] Add unit tests for dangling rejection, port violations, preserved-edge interface mismatches.  
+- [ ] Run tidy → integrate → tidy (clang-tidy before/after).
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Matcher passes existing and new tests; produces deterministic schedules.  
+- [ ] `clang-tidy -p build` clean.  
+- [ ] Tracker updated with Phase 2 completion.

+# Issue Draft: Phase 3 – Attachment pushouts, journaling, epochs
+
+**Title:** Phase 3 – Attachment pushouts with journaling, rollback, and dual epochs  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP`  
+**Labels:** `enhancement`, `physics-mode`, `architecture`
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Implement attachment-aware DPO commits: diff journaling for nodes/edges/attachments, rollback support, attachment-first publish, and dual epoch flips.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Introduce adjacency workspace with diff lists (added nodes/edges, removed edges).  
+- [ ] Capture attachment offset/flag updates in a journal structure.  
+- [ ] Apply journal → verify invariants → publish attachments → flip attachment epoch → publish CSR → flip skeleton epoch.  
+- [ ] Provide rollback that discards workspace/journal when a commit fails, restoring attachments and skeleton tables atomically for the whole scheduled batch.  
+- [ ] Add MG_DEBUG invariants (symmetry, no orphans, preserved port compliance) and document their O(n) cost.  
+- [ ] Update telemetry to include journal stats and both epochs (attachment epoch -> `epoch_att`, skeleton epoch -> `epoch_skel`).  
+- [ ] Tidy → integrate → tidy (clang-tidy passes).
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Attachment updates behave atomically; rollback restores original state.  
+- [ ] Epoch counters `epoch_att` (attachments) and `epoch_skel` (skeleton) flip in the documented order (attachments first).  
+- [ ] Debug invariants pass in MG_DEBUG builds and are referenced in documentation.  
+- [ ] `clang-tidy -p build` clean.  
+- [ ] Phase 3 checked off in tracker.

+# Issue Draft: Phase 4 – QCA harmonization + telemetry
+
+**Title:** Phase 4 – Harmonize QCA tick with new matcher/commit pipeline  
+**Milestone:** `Forge MVP`  
+**Labels:** `enhancement`, `physics-mode`, `telemetry`
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Wire the QCA tick loop to the upgraded matcher and commit engine, ensuring deterministic scheduling, updated metrics, and debug-only invariants.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Refactor tick loop to reuse arena-allocated match buffers and diff lists.  
+- [ ] Ensure kernel application order follows deterministic key ordering (key_hi/key_lo, then insertion order).  
+- [ ] Feed a deterministic RNG seed into tick (CLI/API) and propagate it through scheduling.  
+- [ ] Update metrics (matches found/kept, conflicts dropped, journal stats, timings, attachment/skeleton epochs) and document JSON schema.  
+- [ ] Integrate CLI output for journal and epoch telemetry (JSON lines with timestamp + seed).  
+- [ ] Add integration tests (`t1`, `t2`) covering deterministic MIS + halo behaviour under the new pipeline.  
+- [ ] Tidy → integrate → tidy (`clang-tidy -p build`).
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] QCA tick produces identical results across runs (given same seed).  
+- [ ] Metrics/telemetry reflect new data (journal counts, attachment/skeleton epochs, RNG seed) with schema documented.  
+- [ ] MG_DEBUG invariants list (halo preservation, epoch ordering) is documented and passes in CI.  
+- [ ] Integration tests pass in Release and MG_DEBUG modes.  
+- [ ] Tracker updated for Phase 4.
