+;; (S,A,R) defeats any effective grant — including federated grants. Deny
+;; inherits through the *same* group and resource chains as grant, so a

+;; FEDERATION — non-transitive trust: a peer's `delegate` fact only grants if a
+;; *local* `trust(Peer, L)` exists AND that level `level_covers` the action.
+;; Trust is re-checked on every query (it is a body literal), never baked in at
+;; fact-ingestion time, so revoking trust or narrowing a level takes effect
+;; immediately on the next decision.
+;;
+;; Termination & stratification:
+;;   - eff_grant/eff_deny recurse only over member_of and child_of, which are
+;;     EDB relations with no function symbols, so the closure is finite (cyclic
+;;     membership/containment just reaches a fixpoint, never loops). The
+;;     federation rule is non-recursive.

+;; reconstruction is covered by tests/explain.sx (and federated proofs by

+;; objects. Editing is a stream of ops (data dicts); doc-apply interprets one op
+;; and returns a NEW document — the input is never mutated, so any version is the
+;; head of an op stream (replay-friendly for persist + CRDT merge).
+;;
+;; CtDoc also carries optional metadata (title/slug/tags) — see meta.sx for the
+;; ergonomic API; they default nil and do not affect block operations.
+;;
+;; Op shapes (data, not objects — they are the persist event payload):
+;;   {:op "insert" :block <blk> :after <id|nil>}   ; after nil = prepend
+;;   {:op "update" :id <id> :field <name> :value <v>}
+;;   {:op "move"   :id <id> :index <n>}

+# flow — durable DAG workflows on Scheme
+
+`flow` is a workflow engine for rose-ash: content pipelines (write → review →
+publish → federate), scheduled jobs, and multi-step user flows (signup, confirm,
+onboard) that **survive process restarts**. It is a thin Scheme prelude over the
+Scheme-on-SX guest (`lib/scheme/`); a flow runs *inside* the interpreter.
+
+Run the suite: `bash lib/flow/conformance.sh` → **151/151 across 10 suites**.
+
+## Model
+
+A **flow** is just a Scheme procedure of one argument — the upstream value:
+
+```
+node : input -> output
+```
+
+Combinators build composite nodes out of child nodes. A node that ignores its
+argument is effectively a thunk. There is no separate "graph" object: composition
+*is* function composition, so flows are values you can name, pass, and nest.
+
+```scheme
+(defflow publish
+  (sequence
+    (lambda (draft) (string-append draft "!"))
+    (branch (lambda (post) (>= (string-length post) 3))
+            (remote-node 'fed 'publish)
+            (flow-const 'rejected))))
+
+(flow/start publish "hello")   ; => federated, or a (flow-suspended id tag) state
+```
+
+## Building blocks (`spec.sx`)
+
+| Combinator | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `(flow-node f)` / `(flow-id x)` / `(flow-const v)` | leaf nodes |
+| `(sequence n ...)` | thread input left-to-right |
+| `(parallel n ...)` | fan input to every child, join results into a list (sequential eval) |
+| `(map-flow node)` | run `node` over each item of a list input, join results |
+| `(flow-while pred body max)` / `(flow-until ...)` | bounded iteration (cap `max` steps) |
+| `(defflow name body)` | bind + register a named flow (so it survives restart) |
+
+## Control flow + errors (`spec.sx`)
+
+| Combinator | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `(branch pred then else)` | `pred` on input selects `then`/`else` (`cond` is a Scheme special form) |
+| `(retry n node)` | re-run on a *raised exception*, up to `n` attempts |
+| `(timeout budget node)` | cooperative **step budget**: nodes call `(tick)`; the `(budget+1)`-th tick raises `flow-timeout` |
+| `(try-catch node handler)` | catch a raised exception → `(handler error)` |
+| `(fail reason)` / `(failed? x)` / `(fail-reason x)` | explicit failure *values* (flow downstream as data) |
+| `(recover node handler)` | the fail-VALUE counterpart of try-catch |
+| `(attempt n ...)` | railway sequence: stop at the first node returning a `(fail ...)` |
+| `(tap effect)` | run a side effect, return input unchanged |
+
+**Two error channels, on purpose.** Raised exceptions are for *bugs/transients*
+(caught by `retry`/`try-catch`). `(fail reason)` values are for *expected business
+outcomes* (validation rejected, declined) and compose via `attempt`/`recover`.
+
+## Suspend / resume — the durable core (`spec.sx`, `store.sx`)
+
+The guest Scheme's `call/cc` is **escape-only** — re-invoking a captured
+continuation after it returns *hangs* the runtime. So flow does **not** serialize
+continuations. Instead it uses **deterministic replay**:
+
+- `(suspend tag)` — if `tag` is already in the replay log, return its logged value;
+  otherwise escape to the driver as `(flow-suspended tag)`.
+- `resume` appends `(tag value)` to the log and **re-runs the flow from the start**.
+  Already-resolved suspends replay their values; the first unresolved one escapes
+  again (or the flow completes).
+
+The entire persisted state is the replay log — plain data. No live continuation is
+ever stored, so flows survive process restarts and even moves between instances.
+
+> **Author contract:** suspend `tag`s must be unique and deterministic across
+> replays, and **all** non-determinism / side effects must go through suspend
+> points (so their results are logged) — otherwise they re-run on every replay.
+
+### Lifecycle (`store.sx`)
+
+```scheme
+(flow/start flow input)   ; raw result if it completes, else (flow-suspended id tag)
+(flow/resume id value)    ; inject value at the waiting tag, continue
+(flow/cancel id)          ; terminate; a later resume is rejected
+```
+
+### Introspection & hygiene
+
+```scheme
+(flow/status id)   ; done | suspended | cancelled | unknown
+(flow/result id)   ; result if done, else (flow-error reason)
+(flow/list)        ; ((id status) ...)
+(flow/pending)     ; ((id waiting-tag) ...) — what each suspended flow awaits
+(flow/gc)          ; drop terminal records, keep live ones; returns count removed
+(flow/forget id)   ; drop one terminal record (refuses live flows)
+```
+
+### Crash recovery
+
+```scheme
+(flow-store-export)      ; the store as plain data (live procs nulled)
+(flow-store-import! d)   ; restore the store from exported data
+(flow-resumable-ids)     ; ids of suspended flows to wake on restart
+```
+
+On restart the flow definitions are reloaded (`defflow` re-registers names) and the
+exported store reimported; `resume` re-resolves each flow's procedure **by name**.
+
+## Distribution via fed-sx (`remote.sx`)
+
+```scheme
+(flow-peer-register! addr table)      ; mock a peer's exposed functions (fed-sx boundary)
+(remote-node addr fn)                 ; run a node on a peer
+(remote-failover addrs fn local)      ; try peers in order, fall through to a local node
+(flow-replicate-to addr)              ; copy this store to a peer's replica slot
+(flow-restore-from addr)              ; import a peer's replica (handoff)
+```
+
+**Handoff** is crash recovery across instances: replicate → local instance dies →
+peer restores the (plain-data) store and resumes. The replay log carries over, so
+all resolved suspends survive the move.
+

+
+## Notes on the substrate
+
+The guest Scheme (`lib/scheme/`, imported read-only) lacks dotted-rest params
+`(a . rest)` and named `let`; combinators use `(lambda args ...)` variadics + top-
+level recursion. `cons` is list-only (no dotted pairs), so log/assoc entries are
+2-element lists. Strings box as `{:scm-string "..."}`. Timeout is a step budget
+because there is no wall clock; `parallel` is sequential for the same reason.

+;; lib/flow/host.sx — the host integration ABI (Phase 8).
+;;
+;; `suspend` is flow's seam to the outside world, but a bare (suspend tag) is just a
+;; signal — every author would invent their own tag shape. This layer defines a
+;; stable request/response contract so a host (e.g. an art-dag driver, or a human
+;; review UI) can hook in WITHOUT reverse-engineering ad-hoc tags.
+;;
+;; A flow asks the host to do something and waits for the answer:
+;;   (request kind payload)  — suspend with a typed envelope (flow-request kind
+;;     payload); evaluates to the host's resume value.
+;;   (await-human prompt)    — request kind=human (a decision point)
+;;   (await-render recipe)   — request kind=render (e.g. an art-dag job)
+;;   (await-effect kind p)   — request of an arbitrary kind
+;;
+;; The host drives flows by polling its work queue and resuming:
+;;   (flow-host-requests)    — ((id kind payload) ...) for every SUSPENDED flow whose
+;;     waiting tag is a host request. The host dispatches by kind (render -> submit a
+;;     Celery job; human -> show UI), then calls (flow/resume id answer).
+;;   (request? tag) / (request-kind tag) / (request-payload tag) — parse one tag.
+;;
+;; Reference driver — the host only supplies `dispatch`, a (kind payload) -> answer:
+;;   (flow-drive-host dispatch)        — one tick: service every CURRENTLY pending
+;;     request (snapshot), resuming each with (dispatch kind payload); returns the
+;;     count serviced. Resumes may create new requests — serviced on the next tick.
+;;   (flow-run-host dispatch maxticks) — tick until quiescent (no pending requests)
+;;     or maxticks reached; returns total requests serviced. Bounded for determinism.
+;;
+;; Contract: the host owns IO and persistence. flow stays deterministic — a flow
+;; never performs IO itself, it only `request`s; the host performs the effect and
+;; feeds the result back via resume (which the replay log records, so the effect is
+;; not re-run on recovery). Persist with flow-store-export after each transition and
+;; flow-store-import! on boot.

+;;     (flow-remote-unreachable) if the addr is unknown, (flow-remote-no-fn) if the
+;;     peer does not expose fn.
+;;   (remote-node addr fn)            — a node that runs fn on the peer at addr.

+;;     raised error move to the next peer; if every peer fails, run the `local`
+;;     node as a fallback.
+;;
+;; Persistence across instances + handoff. Each instance runs the same flow
+;; definitions, so the only thing that needs to cross the wire is the (plain-data)
