The stub from `git init` predated everything. Replace with a concise working map: what aborist IS now, where the source papers live, what the schema invariants are, what conventions never to silently change (merkle ordering, chunker default = chunking_version bump = mass cache falsification), where the live endpoints are, and the parser hot-path gotchas. Adds: source-paper inventory, architecture tree, schema invariants (8-dim cache key, audit chain integrity, surface/core kinds, hot/warm/ cold tiers), Merkle conventions, live endpoint URLs, hot-path performance notes, orientation protocol that runs `make test`, `stats`, and `analyze`. Preserves: blackops identity rules, no Co-Authored-By, fail-closed, PYTHONUNBUFFERED for long-running processes. |

aborist
An arborist for trees and forests of cross-linked information.
Aborist ingests documents into a content-addressed, Merkle-committed store. Every
document carries a URI for backtrack and cross-link. Search hooks return hits with
declared audit modes (STRICT / HYBRID / VISUAL) so callers never overclaim
what a result actually proves.
Design
Aborist implements the runtime spec from Merkle-AGI v9.8 / Merkle Providence
Reverse RAG. The 8-dim admissibility key (source_root, question_hash,
model_profile_hash, conversation_hash, governance_policy_hash,
schema_version, canonicalization_version, chunking_version) plus
falsification state ensures cached records are never reused under drift.
Two layered document kinds:
- surface — diverse ingested content (full chunks, FTS-indexed)
- core — distilled records (haiku/equation/snippet) Merkle-signed back to
source surface roots via
derivations
Reversible eviction via chunk tier ∈ {hot, warm, cold}. Cold = leaf hash
- URI only; rehydratable from URI, identity verifiable via leaf hash.
Quick start
make all # bootstrap + fetch + ingest + verify + stats
