Maintainer 2026-04-24 directive (verbatim captured in memory):
"Instead of Starboard lets go with someting farm related and
carperntry related since those will be our two seed extenion
kernels we can shrink over time... keep all the exiting
nautical and elron and all that research but we will be
renaming starboard to someting else."
Reverses Otto-175c Starboard adoption. Two seed-extension
kernels going forward (farm = kernel A, carpentry = kernel B;
both shrink over time). All nautical/Elron research substrate
preserved per Otto-237 mention-vs-adoption discipline. "Big
bangs at every layer" research metaphor flagged for
preservation.
Two Google AI ideation slates received (general farm + Q/Z
algebraic blend). Notable resonances flagged for
naming-expert review (not auto-adopted):
- Siliqua-Core (siliqua = seed pod; literal match for
seed-extension kernel framing)
- Zeta-ic Yield (pairs Riemann zeta lineage with farm yield)
- Zanja (irrigation canal = dataflow-stream metaphor)
- Zamindary-OS (landowner archaic = multi-agent host)
Otto-275 log-don't-implement: no rename PR until maintainer
iterates to two finalists and naming-expert runs IP +
cross-substrate checks. Carpentry-side slate not yet
proposed; future work.
P3 BACKLOG row + memory file + MEMORY.md pointer in same

Pull request overview
Captures a 2026-04-24 maintainer directive reversing the prior “Starboard” adoption and recording the new framing: two seed-extension kernels (farm + carpentry) that shrink over time, while explicitly preserving all existing nautical/Elron research substrate.
Changes:
- Adds a new memory entry documenting the directive, constraints, and naming-process gate.
- Updates
memory/MEMORY.mdto index the new memory entry (newest-first). - Adds a P3 BACKLOG row to note/defer the rename work and record the process requirements.

…aps itself) Maintainer 2026-04-24 directive — Ouroboros bootstrapping is the META-thesis tying together every 2026-04-24 same-day directive: the system uses its own substrate to bootstrap itself. Native F# git stores its own commits as Z-sets; permissions registry tracks the authority for its own creation; memory-sync uses memory-sync; Mode 2 hosts the factory dashboard for Mode 2. Three load-bearing properties of Ouroboros closures: (1) Provenance is closed under the substrate. (2) Every integration is testable from the inside. (3) Self-consistency is a detectable invariant. Cardano consensus protocol naming-overlap is intentional, not accidental — same self-referential property at the consensus layer vs the bootstrap layer. When blockchain-ingest activates and Cardano comes into scope (Phase 3+), the Ouroboros-protocol research will reinforce the Ouroboros-bootstrap thesis. Connection-map work owed at `docs/research/ouroboros-bootstrap-connection-map-2026.md` before any 2026-04-24 directive implementation begins. Maintainer standard: "exact integrations and connections to make sure we can do it right" — hand-waved "Mode 2 talks to Mode 1 somehow" is insufficient. This BACKLOG row + companion memory file are the meta-frame for the entire 2026-04-24 cluster: rename (#393), blockchain ingest (#394), Mode 1 admin UI + native F# git + protocol upgrade + permissions registry + UI split (this PR / #395).

… require 0) (#395) * backlog+memory: git-as-DB-interface + WASM-F#/git-storage; both modes require 0 Maintainer 2026-04-24 directive — two stretch goals filed as P3/way-back-backlog: (1) Git-as-first-class-DB-interface — Zeta commands ≈ git commands where semantics align (commit/branch/merge/log/ diff/tag/stash/cherry-pick map onto Z-set retraction- native semantics). (2) WASM-F# + git-as-storage-plugin — browser-only bootstrap mode. WASM-F# (Blazor + Fable) + isomorphic-git + Z-set semantics fitting git's branch-and-merge model. Bootstrap thesis confirmed: "so both require 0" — both modes are install-free at user-experience level. Maintainer corrected my draft recharacterization that Mode 1 needed .NET runtime; Mode 1 is tiny-seed AoT or single-file JIT (NOT framework-dependent). Mode 1 = download one binary; Mode 2 = open one tab. Honest assessment captured: Mode 2 is NOT a dream — pieces exist (Blazor WASM, Fable, isomorphic-git). Wild bit is performance: git ops are NOT fast enough for hot-path reads, so Mode 2 architecture is "browser viewer + git-backed durable substrate; hot-path lives in browser memory" — not "every read hits git". Write-amplification limits Mode 2 to low-volume workloads (notebooks, memory sync, config); Mode 1 stays load-bearing for streaming. Composes with Otto-243 (git-native memory-sync precursor), Otto-274 (progressive-adoption-staircase — both modes are Level-0 candidates), Otto-275 (log-don't-implement), and the companion 2026-04-24 blockchain-ingest absorb. Does NOT authorize starting POC code without Phase-0 feasibility doc landing first. * backlog+memory: + Mode 1 admin UI + native F# git impl (Zeta IS git client/server) Maintainer 2026-04-24 follow-up (after the bootstrap-thesis punchline) added two more pieces to the same conceptual cluster: (1) Mode 1 admin UI — SSMS/pgAdmin-class local management UI for Zeta. Distinct from the web-facing Frontier-UI (kernel-A/kernel-B). Two-UI architecture: web-facing (Frontier) + local-admin (this row). Ships with Mode 1 single-file binary. (2) Native F# git implementation — Zeta IS the git client AND server. No external git binary required. Git objects (commit/tree/blob) serialize as Z-set entries with retraction-native semantics. Per maintainer: "just another interface like SQL". Symmetric architecture gain: any Zeta Mode 1 instance can serve as a git remote for any Zeta Mode 2 browser client. The factory becomes self-hosting of its own git ecosystem — `git push my-zeta main` lands in Zeta's DB via Zeta's own git server. Two new BACKLOG rows added at top of P2 — research-grade. Memory file updated with verbatim follow-up. Composes with existing Mode-1/Mode-2 bootstrap thesis + Otto-243 git-native memory-sync precursor + the same-day blockchain ingest absorb (Mode 1 streaming). * backlog+memory: + protocol-upgrade negotiation + authority grant + permissions registry Three additions to the same #395 conceptual cluster (all maintainer 2026-04-24, captured per Otto-275 log-don't-implement): (1) Mode 2 → Mode 1 protocol-upgrade negotiation — Mode 2 opens with git as bootstrap LCD; both sides negotiate upgrade to a faster Zeta-specific binary protocol for hot-path traffic. ALPN/HTTP-Upgrade-style pattern. Git stays as fallback / audit-trail / durable-substrate. (2) Authority grant — `github-admin` granted to loop-agent role by maintainer, durable across sessions. Scope: branch-protection PATCH, repo settings, ruleset CRUD, workflow dispatch. NOT in scope: org-admin, repo deletion, force-push-main, bypass-protection-per-PR. Used 2026-04-24 to unblock #375 by migrating required-checks contexts. (3) Named-permissions registry — per-contributor scoped permission grants for factory agents. `docs/AUTHORITY-REGISTRY.md` (factory-authored current-state doc). 7 named permissions drafted (github-admin granted; org-admin / secrets / force-push-main / nuget-publish / slsa-signing-key / network-egress-broad NOT granted). Iterative hardening Phase 0-5 captured. All three compose with the bootstrap thesis + git-native architecture in this PR. Aaron's frame: "this is not super safe yet but we can make it more safe over time" — capture-and-cite-the-grant discipline beats silent expansion. * backlog: + Mode 2 UI architecture split (research-required + maintainer review) Maintainer 2026-04-24 question: is Mode 2 the SSMS/pgAdmin admin UI AND the factory operations dashboard? Or two UIs? Three candidate UI surfaces identified across this session's directives: Frontier-UI (kernel-A/kernel-B web-facing public surface) + SSMS/pgAdmin admin UI (database operator) + factory operations dashboard (factory maintainer). Loop-agent preliminary recommendation captured for maintainer review: Reading B (two surfaces, shared component library) over Reading A (one app with tabs). Audiences differ enough that forcing one chrome harms both; shared library captures composability without audience-blur. Three-app architecture: App A — Frontier-UI (public web) App B — Admin UI (Mode-1-bundled, operator audience) App C — Factory ops dashboard (maintainer audience) Shared library — WASM-F# primitives (auth/theme/query/etc). Phase 0 research doc owed at `docs/research/mode-2-ui-architecture-split-2026.md` before any UI implementation. Maintainer review required before kickoff. Composes with the existing #395 cluster (Mode 1 admin UI, native git impl, protocol-upgrade negotiation, named-permissions registry). * backlog+memory: + Ouroboros bootstrap meta-thesis (the system bootstraps itself) Maintainer 2026-04-24 directive — Ouroboros bootstrapping is the META-thesis tying together every 2026-04-24 same-day directive: the system uses its own substrate to bootstrap itself. Native F# git stores its own commits as Z-sets; permissions registry tracks the authority for its own creation; memory-sync uses memory-sync; Mode 2 hosts the factory dashboard for Mode 2. Three load-bearing properties of Ouroboros closures: (1) Provenance is closed under the substrate. (2) Every integration is testable from the inside. (3) Self-consistency is a detectable invariant.
