  GROK_BUILD consolidated instructions v1.0: single build order for Blaise agent Prism stage Codex v1.3 intake SOUL updates.
  Cross-cutting conventions—SLUG vs shares_minted agents vs stages gate renumbering scotoma two-form payload.
  Build sequence: ratify SOULs → Codex routing → Blaise → Prism → confirm Codey unchanged..
keypoints:
  - SLUG is identifier; shares_minted is pipeline state—never conflate
  - Blaise is agent; Prism is stage—do not give Prism a model binding
  - Gates renumbered: Picasso G1 Prism G2 Codey G3 Syd G4
  - Scotoma Form 1 named feeds Picasso; Form 2 developed in body feeds Prism

# GROK_BUILD — Consolidated Build Instructions v1.0

*The single source of truth for implementing this session's refinements. Supersedes the build-handoff sections embedded in the individual spec files. Build in the order below.*

**Drafted by:** Axial Refinement Sherpa · MA5 Council
**Ratify before build:** Daniel J. Comp (Carbon Steward) + Grok (Master Reference Sherpa)
**Canonical spec files (build from these, not from memory):**
BLAISE_SOUL_v0.4_BUILD.md · PRISM_STAGE_v0.3.md · SOUL_-_Codex_v1.3.md · SOUL_-_Arnie_v1.1.md · SOUL_-_Dachs_v0.3.md

## 0 — Cross-cutting conventions (read first; they prevent the known cross-wires)

- **SLUG is an identifier; `shares_minted` is a status.** SLUG names the article (`ipg`, `509`, `salt_cave_makers`) and expands the template's five AI links via one-to-five substitution. `shares_minted` is a pipeline state. Never conflate. The earlier term `seeded` is retired.
- **Agents vs Stages.** Agents are LLMs (model binding + `build_agent_augmentation` branch). Stages/workers are not (templated frames + gate route + dashboard bar). **Blaise is an agent; Prism is a stage.** Do not give Prism a model binding; do not build Blaise as a frame-filler. Net after this work: **10 agents, 10 stages** (Blaise = agent with no rail stage; Prism = rail stage with no agent — mirror exceptions to the old 1:1 mapping).
- **Gate renumbering.** Inserting Prism shifts the gates: **Gate 1 Imagery (Picasso) → Gate 2 Silicon Seeding (Prism) → Gate 3 Composition (Codey) → Gate 4 Syndication Proof (Syd).** Relabel Codey and Syd in one deliberate UI pass.
- **The scotoma is the payload.** Arnie now writes it in two forms — the *named* scotoma (concise, the `SCOTOMA` field, feeds Picasso) and the *developed* scotoma (lavish, in the body, feeds Prism). Both Picasso and Prism read it, to different ends. Preserve this everywhere it's referenced.

---

## 1 — Ratify-and-deploy (already written; no build, just review + place)

- **SOUL_-_Arnie_v1.1.md** — adds The Baton (North Star), Directive 7 (Minyan citation), Directive 8 (elaborate-for-formation, article-mode only), and the two-form Scotoma Guidance. Faithful superset of v1.0. Deploy after Grok + Daniel ratify.
- **SOUL_-_Dachs_v0.3.md** — corrects the stale "first agent / upstream layer" claims (Blaise is now upstream; Dachs is the *findability* layer). Deploy.

## 2 — Codex v1.3 (KB scribe — bookend intake)

Apply **SOUL_-_Codex_v1.3.md**: two new input types in the classification + routing tables — **Blaze artifact** (front, from Blaise; route to Dachs when it carries article signal, else deposit; tag with idea keyword/slug so Forrest's corpus search surfaces it) and **Silicon thread capture** (back, from Prism; deposit, tag to article slug). `feed`/`path_hint` enums extended. This is the seam that makes Blaise's research reach Arnie (Blaise files → Codex tags → Forrest surfaces → brief → Arnie cites).

## 3 — Blaise (agent, new — the headwaters)

Build from **BLAISE_SOUL_v0.4_BUILD.md**.
- **Hermes:** toolsets `web, search, delegation, moa, code_execution, memory, session_search`; `docker` terminal backend; one primary model binding, rivals via `delegate_task`.
- **app.py:** register in containers/labels + sidebar card (NOT in `ARTICLE_WRITER_AGENTS`); add `if agent == "blaise":` branch in `build_agent_augmentation` modeled on the **Dachs** branch.
- **Per-steward Minyan:** load `Minyan_42_{steward}.md` (matches Arnie). Dialectic produces `expert_citations` (regulars first, guests after) → blazing artifact.
- **Output:** write the blazing artifact (incl. `expert_citations`) to `Agent_Blaze/` for Codex pickup. No `syn_pipeline.py` edit (conversational, front-of-chain).

## 4 — Prism (stage/worker, new — Gate 2)

Build from **PRISM_STAGE_v0.3.md**.
- **Five frames** (`templates/prism/{llm}_frame.md`): each opens with the **scotoma lead** (name `{{SCOTOMA}}`, ask the LLM to engage *that*), includes the **carry-forward clause** (hand the blind spot to whoever continues), the anti-sycophancy clause, framework raws, and `[{{SLUG}}]`. Author the five once; get the registers signed off first (open question below).
- **Gate route (app.py):** tab UI + `POST /api/pipeline/{slug}/prism-capture` (five pasted share URLs → Short.io worker → set `shares_minted`). Mirror Syd's proof-form route.
- **Worker:** Short.io mint/update per spec §4; `SHORTIO_API_KEY` from env; idempotent; **one-shot mint** (shares captured before mint → no prime/flip). Optional capture-back → Codex `Silicon thread capture`.
- **State hook (`syn_pipeline.py`):** insert `shares_pending → shares_minted` between `images_approved` and `assembled`; gate Codey's assemble on `shares_minted`.

## 5 — No-change confirmations
- **Codey** — already correct; the five AI links are SLUG-template-driven (one-to-five substitution). No edit.
- **Forrest** — unchanged; Blaise's research reaches the writer via Codex tagging + corpus surfacing.
- **Syd** — unchanged; acts from `assembled` onward, after Prism resolves.
- **Picasso / Chris / Clint** — unchanged.

## Open questions — resolve before/at build (verify, don't assume)

1. **MoA persona support (gates Blaise §5 Axis B):** does Hermes's native `moa` toolset support *persona*-conditioned proposers, or only *model*-conditioned? If model-only, build the Minyan panel via `delegate_task` + per-persona system prompts. Verify against the Hermes Toolsets Reference first.
2. **Prism frame registers:** Daniel signs off the five registers (Grok-peer / Claude-pressure-test / ChatGPT-scaffolded / Perplexity-verify / Gemini-inline) before they harden into templates.
3. **Primary vs rival model** for Blaise (stable within a session; swappable between).
4. **Capture-back to Codex** (Prism §4 / Blaise artifact) — on for v1, or defer?
