Hybrid Engine for Research, Memory, Execution & Synthesis. Stages 0-5 built and unit-tested (174 tests, environment-conditional skips if hnswlib/numpy aren't installed); Stage 0 proven end-to-end on real disk with a human-gated self-improvement loop; the PreToolUse security gate is installed and live-verified (real blocked tool calls, not just unit tests, as of 2026-07-05); live-traffic proving of autonomy/external paths in progress: security-gated orchestration + memory/self-improvement (Apollo, Mnemos v2, Curator, ReasoningBank, Dream), autonomy (Cron durable scheduler, Delegation, Fetcher SAFE_MODE, Connect MCP+PKCE), hardening (Tier-3 guard, D1 approval tokens, think-scrubber, upstream tracker, repeatable 7-layer audit), laconic token-reduction mode (built 2026-07-13, hook-wired, opt-in at runtime via natural-language toggle), occam lazy-minimal-code mode (built 2026-07-16, SessionStart+UserPromptSubmit+SubagentStart hook-wired, lite/full/ultra/review levels), and opt-in integrations (db, webdev, media, kanban, turbo memory, notebooklm, composio). NYX (Stage 6) deliberately out of scope.
