What must stay true about this codebase? Soma keeps human-curated invariants, regenerates the maps an agent reads, and runs the closeout gates.

Reviewed 2026-11-04 · CNS S0–S11 programme record; not a live health check. Programme labels and terminology.

Fig. 4.4.1 What Soma owns

Curated · Git-tracked

docs/soma/README.md and docs/soma/concerns/*.md hold authored invariants, not generated maps.

Generated · Git-excluded

.soma/ holds codemap, arteries, overview, registry, modules, anchors and manifest.

Closeout · fail honestly

soma verify and concerns check bind concerns to structural evidence. A requested oracle that did not run is not a pass.

A fresh concern cannot certify its own changeset. The concern lifecycle contract defines promotion, base-version checks and ledger verification.

Note 4.4.1 Running alone

Structural checks do not require Thalamus. The rubric is off by default; opting in makes it a requested oracle. Missing configuration or an unavailable oracle returns not evaluated, never a green result.
