Amr Gharbeia 6a6f4479ac feat(core): Skills consolidation and v0.2.0 TUI integration
- NEW: org-skill-utils-lisp (consolidated from org-skill-lisp-utils)
  * 3-phase validation: structural, syntactic, semantic
  * Sandboxed eval, AST extraction/injection/wrapping
  * Format, list-definitions utilities

- NEW: org-skill-utils-org (consolidated from org-skill-emacs-edit)
  * Read/update/delete org headlines
  * Property management, TODO state handling
  * ID-link and internal link support

- DELETE: org-skill-lisp-utils (merged into utils-lisp)
- DELETE: org-skill-emacs-edit (merged into utils-org)
- RENAME: run-all-tests.lisp -> run-tests.lisp

- HARDEN: Skill loader with improved lisp keyword handling
- FIX: Package jailing issues with def-cognitive-tool macro conflicts
- ADD: Setup wizard (opencortex setup) and doctor (opencortex doctor)
- ADD: TUI client with Croatoan for native terminal rendering

- REMOVE: Dynamic loading from opencortex.asd (use :force t instead)
- CLEANUP: Test file consolidation (removed duplicate test suites)

Changelog

v0.2.0 - Interactive Refinement (2026-04-29)

This release focuses on professionalizing the environment and enhancing the agent's structural capabilities.

Features

  • Enhanced Lisp/Org Utilities: Structural editing, REPL evaluation, and automated formatting to ensure code integrity.
  • Namespace Standardization: Refactored utilities into utils-org and utils-lisp for predictable discovery.
  • Autonomous Mandates: Implemented GEMINI.md for local agentic enforcement of engineering standards.
  • Onboarding Wizard: Modular Lisp setup for multiple LLM providers.
  • Professional TUI: Styled, scrollable interface with improved diagnostics.

v0.1.0 - The Autonomous Foundation (2026-04-20)

This is the initial MVP release of the opencortex. It establishes a secure, auditable Lisp kernel for a personal operating system.

Features

  • Unified Envelope Architecture: Actuator-agnostic protocol that decouples routing metadata from cognitive payloads, ensuring all clients (TUI, Emacs, CLI, Matrix) are treated as equal citizens.
  • Metabolic Pipeline: Robust Perceive-Reason-Act loop with selective memory rollbacks and graceful shutdown handling.
  • Verification Lock: Mandatory skill enforcement via environment configuration. System halts if security policies or bouncers fail to load.
  • Foveal-Peripheral Context: High-resolution focus on active tasks with low-resolution skeletal awareness of the rest of the Memex.
  • The Bouncer: Last-mile deterministic security gate with Deep Packet Inspection for secrets and network exfiltration.
  • Autonomous Scribe: Background distillation worker that turns daily journal entries into evergreen Zettelkasten notes. Verified to distill atomic concepts autonomously.
  • Autonomous Gardener: Heartbeat-driven worker that repairs broken links and identifies orphaned nodes in the Memex graph.
  • Unified Onboarding: Single-command installation (opencortex.sh) with Docker support, OS detection, and automated dependency resolution.
  • Channel-Aware TUI: Interactive Croatoan-based terminal client with clean, human-readable formatting for tool results and system logs.
  • CLI Gateway: Local TCP socket server for pipe-friendly interaction and frictionless first contact.

Licensing & Community

  • AGPLv3 License: OpenCortex is now officially licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.
  • Contributor License Agreement: Implemented a broad CLA (CLA.org) for long-term project sustainability.

Architectural Shift

  • Transitioned to Literate Granularity: Every function and invariant is now formally documented in its own Org block.
  • Provider Agnosticism: Implemented a dynamic LLM cascade (OpenRouter, Ollama, etc.) removing all hardcoded backend dependencies.
  • Thin Harness Philosophy: Decoupled the kernel from specific editors or third-party gateways.
