Issue #5 (Python core migration, CAS state transitions, shadow watcher,
auto-completion gate, eager-import immutable runtime, B-13 freeze removal)
is complete and merged to main. This stamps the release.
SemVer: MINOR, not MAJOR. The change is large but breaks nothing. Across the
whole Issue #5 range there are zero file deletions and zero renames, the event
wire schema stays at SCHEMA_VERSION 1, all four literal script paths survive as
compatibility shims, the 968-line legacy shell loop is still in run_loop.sh,
and every default change reverts through a single environment variable
(MAM_DELEGATION_PY / MAM_ENGINE_CAS / MAM_LOOP_PY / MAM_LOOP_FREEZE). The
riskiest new feature, auto-completion, ships default-off. No operator has
anything to migrate, which is the decisive reason not to call it 5.0.0. The
reasoning is recorded in the VERSIONS.md release notes, not just here.
Close a gap in the lockstep guard. lib.sh exports MAM_VERSION and eager_load()
refuses to start the loop when it disagrees with FRAMEWORK_VERSION, so eager.py
is a load-bearing fourth leg — but test_version_consistency.py only checked
three, and the sole check on eager.py was a hardcoded literal in the phase 4
test that a release bump has to edit anyway. The lockstep test now covers
eager.py, a new test pins the fail-closed gate itself, and the phase 4 test no
longer carries a version literal.
Fix a latent test-isolation defect the bump exposed. The first full run failed
four tests with "MAM_VERSION mismatch: expected 4.4.0, got 4.3.0 in
environment" — 4.3.0 was not in the tree, it was inherited from the shell that
launched pytest and had sourced the pre-bump lib.sh. Those tests were measuring
the runner's shell rather than the tree under test, and only passed until now
because the two values always happened to agree. A session-scoped fixture drops
the ambient value. Production is unaffected: run_loop.sh:17 sources lib.sh
before anything else and lib.sh re-exports MAM_VERSION unconditionally, so a
stale inherited value is always overwritten before Python starts.
Full suite: 750 passed in 912.50s, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
