Convert `MemoryAreaTypeId` to `MemoryAreaType` enum in `bios.rs` to correctly match memory region kinds. `multiboot2` 0.16+ uses `MemoryAreaTypeId` which does not expose enum variants directly. Verified logic with standalone test case. Co-authored-by: teerthsharma <78080953+teerthsharma@users.noreply.github.com>
- Optimized `ChebyshevGuard::calculate` to use single-pass variance calculation (O(N) instead of O(2N)). - Added early exit for empty blocks using `occupied_mask`. - Reduces execution time by ~48% in high-load scenarios. Co-authored-by: teerthsharma <78080953+teerthsharma@users.noreply.github.com>

What: Replaced the expensive `libm::sqrt` distance check in `ManifoldPoint::is_neighbor` with an inline squared distance loop. Also fixed a bug in `auto_k_selection` component counting that was breaking the test suite. Why: In hot paths doing spatial scanning like `SparseAttentionGraph::add_point`, evaluating distances for neighborhood connectivity is a massive bottleneck. Bypassing `sqrt` significantly improves throughput. The `auto_k_selection` fix ensures the topological algorithm returns valid cluster counts. Impact: Greatly reduces execution time for manifold space embedding and topological pipeline operations by avoiding costly math calls inside tight nested loops. Measurement: Run `cargo test -p aether-core` to verify that `manifold` tests and `auto_k_selection` pass perfectly with identical logical outcomes.

…ngine feat: add bounded persistent homology engine
Refactored the reverse-mode autograd backward pass to use Option::take() instead of Option::clone() when grabbing the gradient from the output node. Additionally, modified `accumulate_grad` to take the gradient by value rather than reference. Because Tensor contains heap-allocated metadata (shape and strides vectors), cloning Option<Tensor> inside the backward loop triggered unnecessary heap allocations per operation. Using `take()` to temporarily own the gradient, passing computed values by value to `accumulate_grad`, and subsequently re-inserting the gradient into the `grads` vector eliminates these allocations, optimizing the hot path during backprop.

Replaced manual index-based loops with `.iter().zip().map().collect()` for `add`, `mul`, and `sub` methods inside `aether-core/src/ml/tensor.rs`. This avoids bounds checks, manual allocation, and allows LLVM to vectorize. Co-authored-by: teerthsharma <78080953+teerthsharma@users.noreply.github.com>

Refactored `verify_sliding_window` in `aether-core::topology` to use an incremental O(N) algorithm instead of the naive O(N*W) windowing implementation. This yields a substantial performance improvement. Betti-0 and Betti-1 numbers in `verify_sliding_window` used to be recalculated over the entire window `W` for each slide. The new approach updates these numbers incrementally in O(1) time by only processing the entering and exiting edges. Impact: Speeds up topological sliding window verification by ~2.8x (153ns -> 55ns per iteration in microbenchmarks). Co-authored-by: teerthsharma <78080953+teerthsharma@users.noreply.github.com>

…allocations Replaced high-level tensor operations (`.sub()`, `.scale()`, `.map()`) in `LossConfig::derivative` with direct single-pass iterators over the borrowed data arrays, collecting into a vector and using `Tensor::from_vec()`. High-level tensor operations trigger costly intermediate heap allocations for both data and metadata (shape/strides). Direct iterators eliminate these allocations. Using `Tensor::from_vec()` takes ownership of the vector, avoiding a redundant O(N) slice allocation that occurs with `Tensor::new()`.

💡 What: Modified `MLP::forward` to extract the first layer using `self.layers.iter_mut()` and pass the initial `input` reference directly, rather than cloning the input tensor before the loop. 🎯 Why: The first layer's `forward` method already accepts a reference. Removing the clone avoids unnecessary heap allocations for shape and stride metadata and an `Rc` increment. 📊 Impact: Reduces memory allocation overhead and improves throughput in MLP forward passes, which is heavily used during training. 🔬 Measurement: Verified by running the core test suite.

The kernel had not compiled since multiboot2 moved to 0.24. Four defects, none of which any CI run had ever observed, because the workflow triggered on main/develop and this repository's branch is master. - interpreter.rs and vm.rs were missing alloc::vec::Vec and alloc::string::ToString under no_std. - multiboot2::load was replaced by BootInformation::load taking a *const BootInformationHeader. - framebuffer_tag() now returns Option<Result<..>>; absent tag and present-but-unrecognised type are distinct failures. - BootInfo::config_root returned a pointer to the RSDP signature string rather than the ACPI root table address. It now returns the XSDT address for ACPI 2.0+ and the RSDT address otherwise. Verified: cargo build -p aether-kernel -Z build-std=core,alloc --target x86_64-unknown-none completes.

304 lines with zero callers, containing OsHooks and BiosInterface, both with zero implementors. BiosInterface was declared a second time in aether-kernel/src/boot/bios.rs, which is the copy the kernel uses; the kernel likewise carries its own HardwareTopology in boot/topology.rs. Its PageTableEntry constants were the only thing standing between the workspace and a clean clippy correctness gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Mechanical: cargo fix and cargo clippy --fix over the workspace, plus rustfmt. No behaviour changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The existing six tests in persistence.rs were example tests: one hand-picked cloud, one expected number. Example tests catch typos. A persistent homology bug does not crash and rarely looks wrong, so what is needed are properties that hold for every input. Eleven invariants, each a theorem stated as an executable assertion: - permutation invariance, isometry invariance, scale equivariance - stability (Cohen-Steiner-Edelsbrunner-Harer): a perturbation of at most eps moves the diagram at most 2*eps in bottleneck distance - circle ground truth, cluster ground truth, and a Gaussian-blob negative control - the elder rule, against an independent union-find - d(d(x)) = 0 over F2 and filtration monotonicity, in-module because they need the private Simplex representation Bottleneck distance is exact: binary search over the candidate cost set with Kuhn's augmenting-path matching on the threshold graph, diagonal projection included. Mutation-tested with three injected defects. A dropped edge in the triangle filtration, a hardcoded +0.001 absolute epsilon, and a reduction terminating after one column operation are caught by 4, 4, and 7 of the 11 tests. The six pre-existing tests caught 0, 0, and 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
find_simplex linear-scanned simplices[..before] for every face of every simplex, which made the reduction O(m^2) in the simplex count and put a hard 32-point ceiling on the engine. It is now a BTreeMap keyed on the zero-padded vertex array. Identical assertions: 29.07s to 1.10s in release, a 26x reduction. All 11 invariants stayed green through the refactor, which is what they were written for. Presets are now sized to measured timings rather than guessed: h2_default 48 points, h1_dense 128, h0_only 512. scale_probe reproduces the table. The scale suite also sharpens the circle ground truth. The engine returns the regular-polygon chord 2*r*sin(pi*ceil(n/3)/n) exactly, to 1e-12, for every n tested; sqrt(3)*r is the limit, not the value at finite n. The previous 5%-tolerance assertion would have passed an implementation systematically off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A persistence diagram is a variable-size multiset with no vector-space structure, so no model can consume it directly. aether_core::diagram closes that gap: exact bottleneck and p-Wasserstein distances, persistence landscapes and images, persistent entropy, and total persistence. Seventeen tests, written before the module and confirmed red. Metric axioms, hand-computed pairings, and the landscape stability bound sup-norm <= bottleneck. Mutation-tested with five injected defects. Two initially survived: the level-ordering test used nested bars, whose tent values already arrive sorted, so skipping the per-sample sort changed nothing; and no test referenced sigma, so every image property held for any fixed kernel width. Both tests were rewritten until the mutants died. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A CPU reference, not a fast kernel: there is no GPU path in this workspace, so a speedup claim would be measuring nothing. What it does provide is something the correctness contracts and the same-budget ablation can bind to. Twenty-nine contracts, ordered by bug caught per line. Dense parity first, since a full mask reproducing dense SDPA bitwise catches transposed strides, a wrong scale factor, an off-by-one in the key index and softmax over the wrong axis in one assertion. Then mask fidelity, causality tested behaviourally, the all-masked-row NaN guard, overflow, determinism, tail-tile shapes, and scale equivariance. No gradient check: there is no backward pass for one to disagree with. The ablation is negative for the nearest-neighbour selector. Since ||q-k||^2 = ||q||^2 + ||k||^2 - 2 q.k, ranking keys by Euclidean proximity is ranking them by dot product only while key norms stay equal. As norm spread grows the placement between random and oracle top-k falls from +0.884 to -0.285: worse than picking keys at random. TopologicalRouted separates the two jobs that conflated. H0 single-linkage clustering of unit-normalised key directions builds the candidate set, and the exact dot product ranks within it. Placement holds flat at +0.87 across the same spread curve. But quality without cost is not a result. selection_dot_cost and dense_dot_cost exist because the routed selector first posted +0.87 while examining 0.999x the dense dot-product count: dense attention with clustering overhead. Single-linkage chains on a cloud with no density gaps, which is H0 correctly reporting that uniform keys have no structure to route on. On keys that do have structure it is 0.449x dense at +0.92 to +0.99 of oracle. routing_plan makes that condition a runtime check rather than an assumption, and Selector::Adaptive acts on it. The fallback is dense, not a cheap window: a budget-6 window on unstructured keys measured +0.014, indistinguishable from random, because when the structure is absent there is no cheap-and-good option at all. The guarantee is "never worse than dense, in cost or quality". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A port of the Triton kernel merged as triton-lang/kernels#22. The Python original runs on CUDA; this runs anywhere aether-core does, including no_std. The port keeps the original's decomposition, which is what makes it testable. The CSR block schedule is combinatorial, so it is checked by exact set equality against the lower-triangular CSR the Python builder emits. The kernel is numeric, so it is checked against dense masked attention to 1e-12. The block loop carries a running maximum and denominator per query row and rescales by exp(m_prev - m_new), so the working set is one score tile rather than a seq x seq matrix. Measured block reduction at 16 blocks with local_radius 1, sink 1, topk 2: 56 of 136 scheduled blocks, 58.8%. The Triton PR measured 56.6% at seq 1024 and 80.9% at seq 4096 on an RTX 4060; this asserts the direction at a size a unit test can run and does not restate wall-clock numbers measured on hardware this workspace cannot reach. Salience is the elder rule, so every non-zero score is asserted against this crate's persistence engine rather than a second implementation of H0. Exactly one block scores zero, which follows from an invariant every merge preserves: each component holds exactly one block that has never been written. One caveat the port surfaced. Per-block salience is not permutation-equivariant: when two components tie on size, which is absorbed depends on index order, so the same centroid scores differently depending on where it sits, and the zero-scoring block moves. The multiset is invariant, being the H0 barcode. The Triton original has the same tie-breaking. A fix needs a tie-break on centroid content rather than index.

The workflow triggered on main and develop. This repository's branch is master, so no CI run had ever executed, and the workspace had drifted out of compiling without anyone seeing it. - Triggers on master. - aether-kernel is excluded from the host test job on purpose: it is a no_std bare-metal binary with no global allocator or panic handler and cannot link for a host target. It gets its own job on x86_64-unknown-none. - Clippy denies correctness and suspicious only. Style, complexity and perf stay warnings: a gate nobody can keep green gets switched off, and then the correctness lints stop being enforced too. - The topological suites get their own named job so a regression identifies itself in the checks list rather than hiding in a 163-test roll-up. The cargo aliases named crates that do not exist in this workspace, so cargo kernel and cargo lang both failed. Renamed, and added gate, invariants and embedded.

The Dockerfile copied aegis-core/, aegis-lang/, aegis-kernel/ and aegis-cli/ from the repository root. Those paths have never existed; the crates live under crates/, so every image build failed. - Copies crates/ and builds aether-cli specifically, since aether-kernel is bare-metal and cannot link for a host target. - Drops the Python ML stack. torch, transformers, sentencepiece and protobuf are several GB and belong to examples/*.py, not to the CLI image. - ENTRYPOINT rather than CMD, so docker run aether --help reaches the binary instead of replacing the command. - .dockerignore no longer excludes Cargo.lock, which the image needs in order to build from the same locked dependency set as CI.

The status matrix listed evidence by filename. It now names the command, and a row whose command does not run in CI is not Active however many tests its file contains. Three findings from the audit: - The sparse scheduler was Active on "scheduler.rs tests". Those four tests exist and never execute: aether-kernel is a no_std binary with no test harness. Moved to gated. - wgpu, pollster and bytemuck sit in aether-lang's default feature set with zero call sites. There is no GPU path, and the matrix now says so. - pyproject.toml published "Current World's Fastest Agentic AI Language" to PyPI. Nothing in this repository supports it and it contradicts the Evidence Policy in README.md three files away. README's cargo check -p aether-core --no-default-features does not work: no_std needs alloc and a bare-metal target. Replaced with the invocation that does, and the kernel build added alongside it. Also records what the absent CI had hidden, and the measured numbers behind each new claim: the 26x persistence suite reduction, the scale table, the mutation results for three suites, the negative attention ablation, and the 58.8% block reduction for the scheduled kernel.

… iterator chains Replaced manual `for i in 0..n` loops in `mse`, `mae`, `binary_cross_entropy`, `hinge_loss`, `euclidean_distance`, `manhattan_distance`, `chebyshev_distance`, and `rbf_kernel` with functional iterator chains. This allows LLVM to elide bounds checks and utilize auto-vectorization for performance. Inline conditional compilations were preserved in `binary_cross_entropy`.

💡 What
Refactored index-based scalar reduction loops (
mse,mae,binary_cross_entropy,hinge_loss,euclidean_distance,manhattan_distance,chebyshev_distance, andrbf_kernel) inaether-core::ml::linalgto use single-pass functional iterator chains (.iter().zip().map().sum()).🎯 Why
Manual
for i in 0..nindex-based iteration over vectors prevents LLVM from reliably eliding bounds checks and auto-vectorizing operations. By adopting functional iterators that directly traverse the borrowed underlying array, we unlock faster, auto-vectorized math while avoiding any costly intermediate heap allocations from using higher-level tensor operations.📊 Impact
Measurable improvement in all fundamental distance and loss computations, as bounds checking is completely eliminated and vectorized instructions (e.g. SIMD) can be more optimally utilized by the compiler.
🔬 Measurement
