…ed agents Add config/bash/fns/core — _anu_require / _anu_die / _anu_warn / _anu_note — the one place anu's diagnostic vocabulary lives, so a full-auto cxc run hits a clear "missing required tool: X" line instead of a symptom three calls deep. Wire it into the genuinely unguarded paths: - swarm() guards jq+tmux for every real subcommand (help still works bare) - nc/ncn require ssh before opening an ssh/cluster/apple channel - swarm send/capture/inspect list the available agents on a bad id, so a mistyped agent self-corrects instead of dead-ending - swarm send no longer claims "sent" when live pane injection fails — it says the message is queued to the mailbox and the pane may be gone Tests: new tests/bash/core_test.sh (18 assertions); helpers.bash loads core so functions-under-test resolve their primitives. smoke/swarm/ncn stay green.

…ibes it anu could write and animate research (science-writing, tikz, manim, marimo) but nothing actually did it. modeling is the quantitative do-stage twin of /investigate: take data (a file, a simulation, or a digitized figure), frame candidate models, fit with parameter covariance, select on evidence (AIC/BIC + cross-validation, not in-sample fit), and discover the functional form when it's unknown (symbolic regression) — composing the Axiomatic MCP tools (AxModelFitter / AxEquationExplorer / AxPlotToData / AxArgmin), ncn for heavy compute, and trail/present to record and show. This is the /modeling plugin the build notes had deferred. Wired into the marketplace; passes the plugin contract tests. Command /modeling, skill modeling.

… arXiv) Every /study, /investigate, /map and trail render lands alone under ~/.anu/atlas. atlas indexes them into one fixed B&W page and collects their gaps, open questions and frontiers into a single queue — so finished work exposes what it left open and the next run pulls its question from there. It turns the find->understand->do->show arc from a line into a loop. - build.py scans ~/.anu/atlas + ~/.anu/trail into atlas.json (no LLM; the corpus IS the on-disk JSON). Only real edges are recorded (study->present, investigate->trail); the cross-arc gap->hypothesis link is left to the shared frontier rather than fabricated. - render.py injects into the fixed template (same </ escaping contract as map/study/trail). B&W, structure over prose. - `atlas` / `atlas open` / `atlas ls` shell command, guarded through core. - skill + command teach the discipline: consult the frontier before starting, deposit your own gaps when you finish. Validated on the real corpus: surfaces the chemistry /study, the homi photonics /investigate (verdict + 12->4 funnel), the anu map and trail, with 23 frontier items aggregated. tests/bash/atlas_test.sh (24 assertions); smoke + contracts stay green.

…loop
The research arc was a line of commands a human re-invokes. tend makes it a
loop: register checks that should keep passing, run them on a cadence, record
the drift, and — when armed — spawn a contained agent (cxc) to self-heal the
moment one breaks. This is the most-named, least-built gap from the build notes
("tend — zero infrastructure exists").
- config/bash/fns/tend: add / run / watch (live loop) / heal / log / rm / dash /
cron, over one JSON per watch under ~/.local/share/anu/tend. Guarded through
core; healers run contained (cxc), never with host creds.
- config/bash/bin/tend: standalone wrapper so the cron heartbeat works without an
interactive shell (functions aren't on PATH for cron).
- plugins/tend: build.py + render.py + a fixed B&W health dashboard (the same
template grammar as map/atlas/trail — autonomy you can see), plus a skill that
teaches the judgment: --auto only for safe/reversible fixes, surface anything
with judgment or irreversibility (a refuted claim is a result, not a bug). A
watch can re-open the research frontier — tend closing the loop with atlas/trail.
tests/bash/tend_test.sh (25 assertions); smoke (+tend) and contracts stay green.

- README research arc: add the modeling (quantitative do), atlas (compound) and tend (continuity) rows; show atlas+tend closing the arc into a loop; note the atlas index and tend state under state/data. - Match the house style across all new files: drop em/en dashes (colon / period / parens per context, 2-5 not 2-5) and "not X, but Y" phrasing, as the deslop-plugins branch is doing elsewhere. Zero U+2014/U+2013 remain. No behavior change; full suite green (the links failure is pre-existing and unrelated: the stale config/claude/skills symlink source).

An adversarial review (5 dimensions, every finding independently verified; 11 false alarms correctly dismissed) surfaced real defects, fixed here. HIGH - bin/swarm sourced fns/swarm but not fns/core, so the new _anu_require guard died with "_anu_require: command not found" on every non-interactive call, exactly the agent path the wrapper exists for. Source core first (like bin/tend). MED - tend add looped forever when --every/--heal was the final arg (shift 2 with one positional never terminates); guard the value before consuming it. - _tend_secs crashed on fractional/garbage durations (1.5h aborted with an arithmetic error, leaving an empty value that made jq truncate the watch file to 0 bytes and poison the store); validate the integer stem, default to 1h. - atlas/tend build.py crashed on any JSON parsing to a non-dict; load() now enforces dict-ness and tend filters non-dict history elements. - atlas ls rendered before mkdir on first use; build.py also mkdirs its out dir. - auto-heal had no debounce: a still-failing watch re-spawned a fresh contained healer every cadence tick; record healing_since and skip re-heal within a cooldown. - watch command was space-flattened (lost quoting); store via printf %q so it round-trips through bash -c. - bin/tend exports a PATH so box/jq resolve under cron (headless heal). - tend help sed range overshot the header and dumped source; bounded to 2,23. Tests: +2 core (bin-wrapper-sources-core regression), +7 tend (malformed durations, value-less flag, quoting round-trip, literal auto-heal + debounce marker). Full suite green; the links failure is pre-existing and unrelated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Acting on the "what next?" strategy discussion: the diagnosis was that anu has built the harness and written the manifesto, but the arc (
find → understand → do → show) is still a line of commands a human re-invokes, and the agent-facing paths fail silently. This branch closes the arc into a loop and hardens the substrate. Built in an isolated worktree; every milestone committed + pushed; full test suite green throughout (the onelinksfailure is pre-existing and unrelated — a staleconfig/claude/skillssymlink source).What's here
