Flight Plan: Emacs Harness Protocol Outbound Bridge

Analyst Phase

The current opencortex kernel is a "one-way" sensory system. It receives stimuli from Emacs via Harness Protocol but lacks the physical plumbing to send responses back over the same socket. To fix this, we must:

1. Modify the kernel (literately) to pass the client TCP stream through the cognitive loop.
2. Implement the skill-emacs-bridge logic to capture this stream and perform framed Harness Protocol writes.
3. Update the skill-chat to utilize the new bridge.

Coder Phase

• Create inbox/flight-plan-emacs-bridge.org (this file).
• Update projects/opencortex/docs/README.org (Literate Kernel) with the stream-passing hook.
• Update notes/org-skill-emacs-bridge.org to implement the Harness Protocol outbound writer.
• Tangle the updated files.
• Rebuild the daemon binary.

Tester Phase

1. Tangle all modified files.
2. Restart the daemon.
3. Run the test-chat.lisp script to verify two-way communication.
4. Verify in Emacs *opencortex-chat*.
