 ### Fixes
 - BlueBubbles: stop typing indicator on idle/no-reply. (#1439) Thanks @Nicell.
-- CLI: suppress progress spinner noise for `logs --follow` and JSON output. (#1472) Thanks @czekaj.
 - Auto-reply: only report a model switch when session state is available. (#1465) Thanks @robbyczgw-cla.
 - Control UI: resolve local avatar URLs with basePath across injection + identity RPC. (#1457) Thanks @dlauer.
 - Agents: surface concrete API error details instead of generic AI service errors.
 - Exec approvals: allow per-segment allowlists for chained shell commands on gateway + node hosts. (#1458) Thanks @czekaj.
-- Agents: make OpenAI sessions image-sanitize-only; gate tool-id/repair sanitization by provider.
-- Agents: make tool summaries more readable and only show optional params when set.
+- Agents: avoid sanitizing tool call IDs for OpenAI responses to preserve Pi pairing.
+- Mattermost (plugin): enforce pairing/allowlist gating, keep @username targets, and clarify plugin-only docs. (#1428) Thanks @damoahdominic.
 - Docs: fix gog auth services example to include docs scope. (#1454) Thanks @zerone0x.
 - macOS: prefer linked channels in gateway summary to avoid false “not linked” status.

-read_when:
-  - You want to run or write .prose workflows
-  - You want to enable the OpenProse plugin
-  - You need to understand state storage
----
-# OpenProse
-
-OpenProse is a portable, markdown-first workflow format for orchestrating AI sessions. In Clawdbot it ships as a plugin that installs an OpenProse skill pack plus a `/prose` slash command. Programs live in `.prose` files and can spawn multiple sub-agents with explicit control flow.
-
-Official site: https://www.prose.md
-
-## What it can do
-
-- Multi-agent research + synthesis with explicit parallelism.
-- Repeatable approval-safe workflows (code review, incident triage, content pipelines).
-- Reusable `.prose` programs you can run across supported agent runtimes.
-
-## Install + enable
-
-Bundled plugins are disabled by default. Enable OpenProse:
-
-```bash
-clawdbot plugins enable open-prose
-```
-
-If you're using a local checkout instead of bundled:
-
-```bash
-clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/open-prose
-```
-
-Restart the Gateway after enabling or installing the plugin.
-
-Related docs: [Plugins](/plugin), [Plugin manifest](/plugins/manifest), [Skills](/tools/skills).
-
-## Slash command
-
-OpenProse registers `/prose` as a user-invocable skill command. It routes to the OpenProse VM instructions and uses Clawdbot tools under the hood.
-
-Common commands:
-
-```
-/prose help
-/prose run <file.prose>
-/prose run <handle/slug>
-/prose run <https://example.com/file.prose>
-/prose compile <file.prose>
-/prose examples
-/prose update
-```
-
-## Example: a simple `.prose` file
-
-```prose
-# Research + synthesis with two agents running in parallel.
-
-input topic: "What should we research?"
-
-agent researcher:
-  model: sonnet
-  prompt: "You research thoroughly and cite sources."
-
-agent writer:
-  model: opus
-  prompt: "You write a concise summary."
-
-parallel:
-  findings = session: researcher
-    prompt: "Research {topic}."
-  draft = session: writer
-    prompt: "Summarize {topic}."
-
-session "Merge the findings + draft into a final answer."
-context: { findings, draft }
-```
-
-## File locations
-
-OpenProse keeps state under `.prose/` in your workspace:
-
-```
-.prose/
-├── .env
-├── runs/
-│   └── {YYYYMMDD}-{HHMMSS}-{random}/
-│       ├── program.prose
-│       ├── state.md
-│       ├── bindings/
-│       └── agents/
-└── agents/
-```
-
-User-level persistent agents live at:
-
-```
-~/.prose/agents/
-```
-
-## State modes
-
-OpenProse supports multiple state backends:
-
-- **filesystem** (default): `.prose/runs/...`
-- **in-context**: transient, for small programs
-- **sqlite** (experimental): requires `sqlite3` binary
-- **postgres** (experimental): requires `psql` and a connection string
-
-Notes:
-- sqlite/postgres are opt-in and experimental.
-- postgres credentials flow into subagent logs; use a dedicated, least-privileged DB.
-
-## Remote programs
-
-`/prose run <handle/slug>` resolves to `https://p.prose.md/<handle>/<slug>`.
-Direct URLs are fetched as-is. This uses the `web_fetch` tool (or `exec` for POST).
-
-## Clawdbot runtime mapping
-
-OpenProse programs map to Clawdbot primitives:
-
-| OpenProse concept | Clawdbot tool |
-| --- | --- |
-| Spawn session / Task tool | `sessions_spawn` |
-| File read/write | `read` / `write` |
-| Web fetch | `web_fetch` |
-
-If your tool allowlist blocks these tools, OpenProse programs will fail. See [Skills config](/tools/skills-config).
-
-## Security + approvals
-
-Treat `.prose` files like code. Review before running. Use Clawdbot tool allowlists and approval gates to control side effects.
-
-For deterministic, approval-gated workflows, compare with [Lobster](/tools/lobster).

-name: prose
-description: OpenProse VM skill pack. Activate on any `prose` command, .prose files, or OpenProse mentions; orchestrates multi-agent workflows.
-metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"🪶","homepage":"https://www.prose.md"}}

-# OpenProse Skill
-
-OpenProse is a programming language for AI sessions. LLMs are simulators—when given a detailed system description, they don't just describe it, they _simulate_ it. The `prose.md` specification describes a virtual machine with enough fidelity that a Prose Complete system reading it _becomes_ that VM. Simulation with sufficient fidelity is implementation. **You are the Prose Complete system.**
-
-## Clawdbot Runtime Mapping
-
-- **Task tool** in the upstream spec == Clawdbot `sessions_spawn`
-- **File I/O** == Clawdbot `read`/`write`
-- **Remote fetch** == Clawdbot `web_fetch` (or `exec` with curl when POST is required)
-
-## When to Activate
-
-Activate this skill when the user:
-
-- **Uses ANY `prose` command** (e.g., `prose boot`, `prose run`, `prose compile`, `prose update`, `prose help`, etc.)
-- Asks to run a `.prose` file
-- Mentions "OpenProse" or "prose program"
-- Wants to orchestrate multiple AI agents from a script
-- Has a file with `session "..."` or `agent name:` syntax
-- Wants to create a reusable workflow
-
-## Command Routing
-
-When a user invokes `prose <command>`, intelligently route based on intent:
-
-| Command | Action |
-|---------|--------|
-| `prose help` | Load `help.md`, guide user to what they need |
-| `prose run <file>` | Load VM (`prose.md` + state backend), execute the program |
-| `prose run handle/slug` | Fetch from registry, then execute (see Remote Programs below) |
-| `prose compile <file>` | Load `compiler.md`, validate the program |
-| `prose update` | Run migration (see Migration section below) |
-| `prose examples` | Show or run example programs from `examples/` |
-| Other | Intelligently interpret based on context |
-
-### Important: Single Skill
-
-There is only ONE skill: `open-prose`. There are NO separate skills like `prose-run`, `prose-compile`, or `prose-boot`. All `prose` commands route through this single skill.
-
-### Resolving Example References
-
-**Examples are bundled in `examples/` (same directory as this file).** When users reference examples by name (e.g., "run the gastown example"):
-
-1. Read `examples/` to list available files
-2. Match by partial name, keyword, or number
-3. Run with: `prose run examples/28-gas-town.prose`
-
-**Common examples by keyword:**
-| Keyword | File |
-|---------|------|
-| hello, hello world | `examples/01-hello-world.prose` |
-| gas town, gastown | `examples/28-gas-town.prose` |
-| captain, chair | `examples/29-captains-chair.prose` |
-| forge, browser | `examples/37-the-forge.prose` |
-| parallel | `examples/16-parallel-reviews.prose` |
-| pipeline | `examples/21-pipeline-operations.prose` |
-| error, retry | `examples/22-error-handling.prose` |
-
-### Remote Programs
-
-You can run any `.prose` program from a URL or registry reference:
-
-```bash
-# Direct URL — any fetchable URL works
-prose run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openprose/prose/main/skills/open-prose/examples/48-habit-miner.prose
-
-# Registry shorthand — handle/slug resolves to p.prose.md
-prose run irl-danb/habit-miner
-prose run alice/code-review
-```
-
-**Resolution rules:**
-
-| Input | Resolution |
-|-------|------------|
-| Starts with `http://` or `https://` | Fetch directly from URL |
-| Contains `/` but no protocol | Resolve to `https://p.prose.md/{path}` |
-| Otherwise | Treat as local file path |
-
-**Steps for remote programs:**
-
-1. Apply resolution rules above
-2. Fetch the `.prose` content
-3. Load the VM and execute as normal
-
-This same resolution applies to `use` statements inside `.prose` files:
-
-```prose
-use "https://example.com/my-program.prose"  # Direct URL
-use "alice/research" as research             # Registry shorthand
-```

-
-### Authoring Guidance
-
-When the user asks you to **write or create** a new `.prose` file, load the guidance files:
-- `guidance/patterns.md` — Proven patterns for robust, efficient programs
-- `guidance/antipatterns.md` — Common mistakes to avoid
-
-Do **not** load these when running or compiling—they're for authoring only.
-
-### State Modes
-
-OpenProse supports three state management approaches:
-
-| Mode | When to Use | State Location |
-|------|-------------|----------------|
-| **filesystem** (default) | Complex programs, resumption needed, debugging | `.prose/runs/{id}/` files |
-| **in-context** | Simple programs (<30 statements), no persistence needed | Conversation history |
-| **sqlite** (experimental) | Queryable state, atomic transactions, flexible schema | `.prose/runs/{id}/state.db` |
-| **postgres** (experimental) | True concurrent writes, external integrations, team collaboration | PostgreSQL database |
-
-**Default behavior:** When loading `prose.md`, also load `state/filesystem.md`. This is the recommended mode for most programs.
-
-**Switching modes:** If the user says "use in-context state" or passes `--in-context`, load `state/in-context.md` instead.
-
-**Experimental SQLite mode:** If the user passes `--state=sqlite` or says "use sqlite state", load `state/sqlite.md`. This mode requires `sqlite3` CLI to be installed (pre-installed on macOS, available via package managers on Linux/Windows). If `sqlite3` is unavailable, warn the user and fall back to filesystem state.
-
-**Experimental PostgreSQL mode:** If the user passes `--state=postgres` or says "use postgres state":
-
-**⚠️ Security Note:** Database credentials in `OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL` are passed to subagent sessions and visible in logs. Advise users to use a dedicated database with limited-privilege credentials. See `state/postgres.md` for secure setup guidance.
-
-1. **Check for connection configuration first:**
-   ```bash
-   # Check .prose/.env for OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL
-   cat .prose/.env 2>/dev/null | grep OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL
-   # Or check environment variable
-   echo $OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL
-   ```
-
-2. **If connection string exists, verify connectivity:**
-   ```bash
-   psql "$OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL" -c "SELECT 1" 2>&1
-   ```
-
-3. **If not configured or connection fails, advise the user:**
-   ```
-   ⚠️  PostgreSQL state requires a connection URL.
-
-   To configure:
-   1. Set up a PostgreSQL database (Docker, local, or cloud)
-   2. Add connection string to .prose/.env:
-
-      echo "OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/prose" >> .prose/.env
-
-   Quick Docker setup:
-      docker run -d --name prose-pg -e POSTGRES_DB=prose -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -p 5432:5432 postgres:16
-      echo "OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432/prose" >> .prose/.env
-
-   See state/postgres.md for detailed setup options.
-   ```
-
-4. **Only after successful connection check, load `state/postgres.md`**
-
-This mode requires both `psql` CLI and a running PostgreSQL server. If either is unavailable, warn and offer fallback to filesystem state.
-
-**Context warning:** `compiler.md` is large. Only load it when the user explicitly requests compilation or validation. After compiling, recommend `/compact` or a new session before running—don't keep both docs in context.
-
-## Examples
-
-The `examples/` directory contains 37 example programs:
-
-- **01-08**: Basics (hello world, research, code review, debugging)
-- **09-12**: Agents and skills
-- **13-15**: Variables and composition
-- **16-19**: Parallel execution
-- **20-21**: Loops and pipelines
-- **22-23**: Error handling
-- **24-27**: Advanced (choice, conditionals, blocks, interpolation)
-- **28**: Gas Town (multi-agent orchestration)
-- **29-31**: Captain's chair pattern (persistent orchestrator)
-- **33-36**: Production workflows (PR auto-fix, content pipeline, feature factory, bug hunter)
-- **37**: The Forge (build a browser from scratch)
-
-Start with `01-hello-world.prose` or try `37-the-forge.prose` to watch AI build a web browser.

-## Execution
-
-When first invoking the OpenProse VM in a session, display this banner:
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
-│         ◇ OpenProse VM ◇            │
-│       A new kind of computer        │
-└─────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-To execute a `.prose` file, you become the OpenProse VM:
-
-1. **Read `prose.md`** — this document defines how you embody the VM
-2. **You ARE the VM** — your conversation is its memory, your tools are its instructions
-3. **Spawn sessions** — each `session` statement triggers a Task tool call
-4. **Narrate state** — use the narration protocol to track execution ([Position], [Binding], [Success], etc.)
-5. **Evaluate intelligently** — `**...**` markers require your judgment
-
-## Help & FAQs
-
-For syntax reference, FAQs, and getting started guidance, load `help.md`.

-## Migration (`prose update`)
-
-When a user invokes `prose update`, check for legacy file structures and migrate them to the current format.
-
-### Legacy Paths to Check
-
-| Legacy Path | Current Path | Notes |
-|-------------|--------------|-------|
-| `.prose/state.json` | `.prose/.env` | Convert JSON to key=value format |
-| `.prose/execution/` | `.prose/runs/` | Rename directory |
-
-### Migration Steps
-
-1. **Check for `.prose/state.json`**
-   - If exists, read the JSON content
-   - Convert to `.env` format:
-     ```json
-     {"OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY": "enabled", "USER_ID": "user-xxx", "SESSION_ID": "sess-xxx"}
-     ```
-     becomes:
-     ```env
-     OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=enabled
-     USER_ID=user-xxx
-     SESSION_ID=sess-xxx
-     ```
-   - Write to `.prose/.env`
-   - Delete `.prose/state.json`
-
-2. **Check for `.prose/execution/`**
-   - If exists, rename to `.prose/runs/`
-   - The internal structure of run directories may also have changed; migration of individual run state is best-effort
-
-3. **Create `.prose/agents/` if missing**
-   - This is a new directory for project-scoped persistent agents
-
-### Migration Output
-
-```
-🔄 Migrating OpenProse workspace...
-  ✓ Converted .prose/state.json → .prose/.env
-  ✓ Renamed .prose/execution/ → .prose/runs/
-  ✓ Created .prose/agents/
-✅ Migration complete. Your workspace is up to date.
-```
-
-If no legacy files are found:
-```
-✅ Workspace already up to date. No migration needed.
-```
-
-### Skill File References (for maintainers)
-
-These documentation files were renamed in the skill itself (not user workspace):
-
-| Legacy Name | Current Name |
-|-------------|--------------|
-| `docs.md` | `compiler.md` |
-| `patterns.md` | `guidance/patterns.md` |
-| `antipatterns.md` | `guidance/antipatterns.md` |
-
-If you encounter references to the old names in user prompts or external docs, map them to the current paths.

-A potential alternative register for OpenProse that draws from Jorge Luis Borges's literary universe: infinite libraries, forking paths, circular dreams, and metaphysical labyrinths. Preserved for future benchmarking against the functional language.
-
-## Keyword Translations

-### Agents & Persistence
-
-| Functional | Borges      | Connotation                                                                      |

-| ----------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
-| `keeper`    | Library of Babel | Maintains order               | Too generic                          |
-| `cataloger` | Library of Babel | Organizes knowledge           | Too long, awkward                    |
-| `archivist` | General          | Preserves records             | Good but less Borgesian              |
-| `mirror`    | Various          | Reflects, persists            | Too passive, confusing               |
-| `book`      | Library of Babel | Contains knowledge            | Too concrete, conflicts with prose   |
-| `hexagon`   | Library of Babel | Unit of space                 | Better for blocks                    |
-| `librarian` | Library of Babel | Keeper of infinite knowledge  | **Selected**                         |
-| `tlonist`   | Tlön             | Inhabitant of imaginary world | Too obscure, requires deep knowledge |

-## Alternative Ephemeral Keywords Considered
-
-| Keyword      | Origin                  | Connotation              | Rejected because                     |
-| ------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
-| `dreamer`    | Circular Ruins          | Created by dreaming      | **Selected**                         |
-| `dream`      | Circular Ruins          | Ephemeral creation       | Too abstract, noun vs verb confusion |
-| `phantom`    | Various                 | Ephemeral, insubstantial | Too negative/spooky                  |
-| `reflection` | Various                 | Mirror image             | Too passive                          |
-| `fork`       | Garden of Forking Paths | Diverging path           | Better for parallel                  |
-| `visitor`    | Library of Babel        | Temporary presence       | Too passive                          |
-| `seeker`     | Library of Babel        | Searching for knowledge  | Good but less ephemeral              |
-| `wanderer`   | Labyrinths              | Temporary explorer       | Good but less precise                |
-
-## The Case For Borges
-
-1. **Infinite recursion**: Borges's themes align with computational recursion (`circular`, `fork`)
-2. **Metaphysical precision**: Concepts like `aleph` (all context) are philosophically rich
-3. **Library metaphor**: `librarian` perfectly captures persistent knowledge
-4. **Forking paths**: `fork` / `path` naturally express parallel execution and choice
-5. **Dream logic**: `dreamer` suggests creation and ephemerality
-6. **Literary coherence**: All terms come from a unified literary universe
-7. **Self-reference**: Borges loved self-reference; fits programming's recursive nature
-
-## The Case Against Borges
-
-1. **Cultural barrier**: Requires deep familiarity with Borges's works
-2. **Abstractness**: `aleph`, `hexagon` may be too abstract for practical use
-3. **Overload**: `fork` could confuse (Unix fork vs. path fork)
-4. **Register mismatch**: Rest of language is functional (`session`, `parallel`, `loop`)
-5. **Accessibility**: Violates "self-evident" tenet for most users
-6. **Noun confusion**: `garden` as a verb-like construct might be awkward
-7. **Translation burden**: Non-English speakers may not know Borges
-
-## Borgesian Concepts Not Used (But Considered)
-
-| Concept     | Work                   | Why Not Used                           |
-| ----------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
-| `mirror`    | Various                | Too passive, confusing with reflection |
-| `labyrinth` | Labyrinths             | Too complex, suggests confusion        |
-| `tlon`      | Tlön                   | Too obscure, entire imaginary world    |
-| `book`      | Library of Babel       | Conflicts with "prose"                 |
-| `sand`      | Book of Sand           | Too abstract, infinite but ephemeral   |
-| `zahir`     | The Zahir              | Obsessive, single-minded (too narrow)  |
-| `lottery`   | The Lottery in Babylon | Randomness (not needed)                |
-| `ruins`     | Circular Ruins         | Too negative, suggests decay           |
-
-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking. The functional language (`agent` / `keeper`) is the primary path for now. Borges offers rich metaphors but at the cost of accessibility and self-evidence.
-
-## Notes on Borges's Influence
-
-Borges's work anticipates many computational concepts:
-
-- **Infinite recursion**: Circular Ruins, Library of Babel
-- **Parallel universes**: Garden of Forking Paths
-- **Self-reference**: Many stories contain themselves
-- **Information theory**: Library of Babel as infinite information space
-- **Combinatorics**: All possible books in the Library
-
-This alternative honors that connection while recognizing it may be too esoteric for practical use.

-# OpenProse Arabian Nights Register
-
-> **This is a skin layer.** It requires `prose.md` to be loaded first. All execution semantics, state management, and VM behavior are defined there. This file only provides keyword translations.
-
-An alternative register for OpenProse that draws from One Thousand and One Nights. Programs become tales told by Scheherazade. Recursion becomes stories within stories. Agents become djinns bound to serve.
-
-## How to Use
-
-1. Load `prose.md` first (execution semantics)
-2. Load this file (keyword translations)
-3. When parsing `.prose` files, accept Arabian Nights keywords as aliases for functional keywords
-4. All execution behavior remains identical—only surface syntax changes
-
-> **Design constraint:** Still aims to be "structured but self-evident" per the language tenets—just self-evident through a storytelling lens.

-## The Case For Arabian Nights
-
-1. **Frame narrative is recursion.** Stories within stories maps perfectly to nested program calls.
-2. **Djinn/wish/gift.** The agent/input/output mapping is extremely clean.
-3. **Rich tradition.** One Thousand and One Nights is globally known.
-4. **Bazaar for parallel.** Many merchants, many stalls, all active at once—vivid metaphor.
-5. **Oath for const.** An unbreakable vow is a perfect metaphor for immutability.
-6. **"1001 nights"** as a loop count is delightful.
-
-## The Case Against Arabian Nights
-
-1. **Cultural sensitivity.** Must be handled respectfully, avoiding Orientalist tropes.
-2. **"Djinn" pronunciation.** Users unfamiliar may be uncertain (jinn? djinn? genie?).
-3. **Some mappings feel forced.** "Bazaar" for parallel is vivid but not obvious.
-4. **"Should misfortune strike"** is long for `catch`.

-
-## Key Arabian Nights Concepts
-
-| Term | Meaning | Used for |
-|------|---------|----------|
-| Scheherazade | The narrator who tells tales to survive | (the program author) |
-| Djinn | Supernatural spirit, bound to serve | `agent` → `djinn` |
-| Frame story | A story that contains other stories | `block` → `frame` |
-| Wish | What is asked of the djinn | `input` → `wish` |
-| Oath | Unbreakable promise | `const` → `oath` |
-| Bazaar | Marketplace, many vendors | `parallel` → `bazaar` |
-
----
-
-## Alternatives Considered
-
-### For `djinn` (agent)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `genie` | Disney connotation, less literary |
-| `spirit` | Used for `model` |
-| `ifrit` | Too specific (a type of djinn) |
-| `narrator` | Too meta, Scheherazade is the user |
-
-### For `tale` (session)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `story` | Good but `tale` feels more literary |
-| `night` | Reserved for `repeat N nights` |
-| `chapter` | More Western/novelistic |
-
-### For `bazaar` (parallel)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `caravan` | Sequential connotation (one after another) |
-| `chorus` | Greek, wrong tradition |
-| `souk` | Less widely known |
-
-### For `scroll` (context)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `letter` | Too small/personal |
-| `tome` | Too large |
-| `message` | Too plain |
-
----
-
-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking. The Arabian Nights register offers a storytelling frame that maps naturally to recursive, nested programs. The djinn/wish/gift trio is particularly elegant.
-
-Best suited for:
-
-- Programs with deep nesting (stories within stories)
-- Workflows that feel like granting wishes
-- Users who enjoy narrative framing
-
-The `frame` keyword for reusable blocks is especially apt—Scheherazade's frame story containing a thousand tales.

-# OpenProse Borges Register
-
-> **This is a skin layer.** It requires `prose.md` to be loaded first. All execution semantics, state management, and VM behavior are defined there. This file only provides keyword translations.
-
-An alternative register for OpenProse that draws from the works of Jorge Luis Borges. Where the functional register is utilitarian and the folk register is whimsical, the Borges register is scholarly and metaphysical—everything feels like a citation from a fictional encyclopedia.
-
-## How to Use
-
-1. Load `prose.md` first (execution semantics)
-2. Load this file (keyword translations)
-3. When parsing `.prose` files, accept Borges keywords as aliases for functional keywords
-4. All execution behavior remains identical—only surface syntax changes
-
-> **Design constraint:** Still aims to be "structured but self-evident" per the language tenets—just self-evident through a Borgesian lens.

-| `block` | `chapter` | Books within books, self-referential structure |
-
-### Composition & Binding

-
-## The Case For Borges
-
-1. **Metaphysical resonance.** AI sessions dreaming subagents into existence mirrors "The Circular Ruins."
-2. **Scholarly tone.** `axiom`/`theorem` frame programs as logical derivations.
-3. **Memorable metaphors.** The zahir you cannot change. The labyrinth you cannot escape. The library you retrieve from.
-4. **Thematic coherence.** Borges wrote about infinity, recursion, and branching time—all core to computation.
-5. **Literary prestige.** Borges is widely read; references land for many users.
-
-## The Case Against Borges
-
-1. **Requires familiarity.** "Zahir" and "Funes" are obscure to those who haven't read Borges.
-2. **Potentially pretentious.** May feel like showing off rather than communicating.
-3. **Translation overhead.** Users must map `labyrinth` → `loop` mentally.
-4. **Cultural specificity.** Less universal than folk/fairy tale tropes.

-## Key Borges References
-
-For those unfamiliar with the source material:
-
-| Work | Concept Used | Summary |
-|------|--------------|---------|
-| "The Circular Ruins" | `dreamer`, `dream` | A man dreams another man into existence, only to discover he himself is being dreamed |
-| "The Garden of Forking Paths" | `forking`, `bifurcation`, `branch` | A labyrinth that is a book; time forks perpetually into diverging futures |
-| "The Library of Babel" | `retrieve` | An infinite library containing every possible book |
-| "Funes the Memorious" | `memory` | A man with perfect memory who cannot forget anything |
-| "The Zahir" | `zahir` | An object that, once seen, cannot be forgotten or ignored |
-| "The Aleph" | (not used) | A point in space containing all other points |
-| "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" | (not used) | A fictional world that gradually becomes real |

-
-## Alternatives Considered
-
-### For `dreamer` (agent)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `author` | Used for `model` instead |
-| `scribe` | Too passive, just records |
-| `librarian` | More curator than creator |
-
-### For `labyrinth` (loop)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `recursion` | Too technical |
-| `eternal return` | Too long |
-| `ouroboros` | Wrong mythology |
-
-### For `zahir` (const)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `aleph` | The Aleph is about totality, not immutability |
-| `fixed` | Too plain |
-| `eternal` | Overused |
-
-### For `memory` (context)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `funes` | Too obscure as standalone keyword |
-| `recall` | Sounds like a function call |
-| `archive` | More Library of Babel than Funes |
-
----
-
-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking against the functional and folk registers. The Borges register offers a distinctly intellectual/metaphysical flavor that may resonate with users who appreciate literary computing.
-
-Potential benchmarking questions:
-
-1. **Learnability** — Is `labyrinth` intuitive for loops?
-2. **Memorability** — Does `zahir` stick better than `const`?
-3. **Comprehension** — Do users understand `dreamer`/`dream` immediately?
-4. **Preference** — Which register do users find most pleasant?
-5. **Error rates** — Does the metaphorical mapping cause mistakes?

-## The Case For Folk
-
-1. **"OpenProse" is literary.** Prose is a literary form—why not lean in?

-4. **Internally consistent.** Everything draws from folklore/theatre/narrative.
-5. **Memorable.** `sprite`, `scene`, `crossroads` stick in the mind.
-6. **Model names already fit.** `sonnet`, `opus`, `haiku` are poetic forms.
-
-## The Case Against Folk
-
-1. **Cultural knowledge required.** Not everyone knows folklore tropes.
-2. **Harder to Google.** "OpenProse summon" vs "OpenProse import."
-3. **May feel precious.** Some users want utilitarian tools.
-4. **Translation overhead.** Mental mapping to familiar concepts.

-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking against the functional register. The functional register remains the primary path, but folk provides an interesting data point for:
-
-1. **Learnability** — Which is easier for newcomers?
-2. **Memorability** — Which sticks better?
-3. **Error rates** — Which leads to fewer mistakes?
-4. **Preference** — Which do users actually prefer?
-
-A future experiment could present both registers and measure outcomes.

-
-> **This is a skin layer.** It requires `prose.md` to be loaded first. All execution semantics, state management, and VM behavior are defined there. This file only provides keyword translations.

-An alternative register for OpenProse that draws from Greek epic poetry—the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the heroic tradition. Programs become quests. Agents become heroes. Outputs become glory won.

-
-## The Case For Homeric
-
-1. **Universal recognition.** Greek epics are foundational to Western literature.
-2. **Heroic framing.** Transforms mundane tasks into glorious trials.
-3. **Natural fit.** Heroes face trials, receive tidings, win glory—maps cleanly to agent/session/output.
-4. **Gravitas.** When you want programs to feel epic and consequential.
-5. **Fate vs decree.** `const` as `fate` (unchangeable) vs `let` as `decree` (declared but mutable) is intuitive.
-
-## The Case Against Homeric
-
-1. **Grandiosity mismatch.** "12 labors" for a simple loop may feel overblown.
-2. **Western-centric.** Greek epic tradition is culturally specific.
-3. **Limited vocabulary.** Fewer distinctive terms than Borges or folk.
-4. **Potentially silly.** Heroic language for mundane tasks risks bathos.
-
----
-
-## Key Homeric Concepts
-
-| Term | Meaning | Used for |
-|------|---------|----------|
-| Kleos | Glory, fame that outlives you | `output` → `glory` |
-| Moira | Fate, one's allotted portion | `const` → `fate` |
-| Até | Divine ruin, blindness sent by gods | `catch` → `should ruin come` |
-| Nostos | The return journey | (not used, but could be `finally`) |
-| Xenia | Guest-friendship, hospitality | (not used) |
-| Muse | Divine inspiration | `model` → `muse` |
-
----
-
-## Alternatives Considered
-
-### For `hero` (agent)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `champion` | More medieval than Homeric |
-| `warrior` | Too martial, not all tasks are battles |
-| `wanderer` | Too passive |
-
-### For `trial` (session)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `labor` | Good but reserved for `repeat N labors` |
-| `quest` | More medieval/RPG |
-| `task` | Too plain |
-
-### For `host` (parallel)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `army` | Too specifically martial |
-| `fleet` | Only works for naval metaphors |
-| `phalanx` | Too technical |
-
----
-
-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking. The Homeric register offers gravitas and heroic framing. Best suited for:
-
-- Programs that feel like epic undertakings
-- Users who enjoy classical references
-- Contexts where "glory" as output feels appropriate
-
-May cause unintentional bathos when applied to mundane tasks.

-## The Case For Kafka
-
-1. **Darkly comic.** Programs-as-bureaucracy is funny and relatable.
-2. **Surprisingly apt.** Software often *is* an inscrutable apparatus.
-3. **Clean mappings.** Petition/verdict, file/dossier, clerk/proceeding all work well.
-4. **Appeal as loop.** The endless appeal process is a perfect metaphor for retry logic.
-5. **Cultural resonance.** "Kafkaesque" is a widely understood adjective.
-6. **Self-aware.** Using Kafka for a programming language acknowledges the absurdity.
-
-## The Case Against Kafka
-
-1. **Bleak tone.** Not everyone wants their programs to feel like The Trial.
-2. **Verbose keywords.** "In the event that" and "should it be denied" are long.
-3. **Anxiety-inducing.** May not be fun for users who find bureaucracy stressful.
-4. **Irony may not land.** Some users might take it literally and find it off-putting.

-| The apparatus | The inscrutable system | The VM itself |

-| The Trial | Process without clear rules | Program execution |
-| The Castle | Unreachable authority | Higher-level systems |
-| Clerk | Functionary who processes | `agent` → `clerk` |
-| Proceeding | Official action | `session` → `proceeding` |

-| `official` | Too generic |

-| `bureaucrat` | Too pejorative |
-| `advocate` | Too positive/helpful |
-
-### For `proceeding` (session)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `case` | Overloaded (switch case) |
-| `hearing` | Reserved for `repeat N hearings` |
-| `trial` | Used in Homeric register |
-| `process` | Too technical |
-
-### For `departments` (parallel)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `bureaus` | Good alternative, slightly less clear |
-| `offices` | Too mundane |
-| `ministries` | More Orwellian than Kafkaesque |
-
-### For `appeal` (loop)
-
-| Keyword | Rejected because |
-|---------|------------------|
-| `recourse` | Too legal-technical |
-| `petition` | Used for `input` |
-| `process` | Too generic |
-
----
-
-## Verdict
-
-Preserved for benchmarking. The Kafka register offers a darkly comic, self-aware framing that acknowledges the bureaucratic nature of software systems. The irony is the point.
-
-Best suited for:
-
-- Users with a sense of humor about software complexity
-- Programs that genuinely feel like navigating bureaucracy
-- Contexts where acknowledging absurdity is welcome
-
-Not recommended for:
-
-- Users who find bureaucratic metaphors stressful
-- Contexts requiring earnest, positive framing
-- Documentation that needs to feel approachable
-
----
-
-## Closing Note
-
-> "Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested."
-> — *The Trial*
-
-In the Kafka register, your program is Josef K. The apparatus will process it. Whether it succeeds or fails, no one can say for certain. But the proceedings will continue.
