Merge loops/mod into architecture: mod-on-sx moderation engine on Prolog

Moderation-on-Prolog layer in lib/mod: report schema, policy DSL (boolean algebra
+ count/score/reporters/burst conditions), proof-carrying engine, append-only
audit, lifecycle state machine + escalation/appeal, federation (advisory trust,
wire format, ActivityPub export), plus repeat-offender, quorum, temporal burst,
analytics (trace/whatif/lint/batch/explain/linking), domain policies, and an
end-to-end triage pipeline. Roadmap (4 phases) + 19 extensions, 390/390. Imports
lib/prolog only; Prolog unmodified.

+;; PROVER-FREE BY DESIGN: this suite calls only acl-permit? (which runs in
+;; compiled Datalog, safe at any depth) plus pure data ops — never acl-explain /
+;; acl-prove-d. The SX-side proof reconstructor recurses, and once the kernel
+;; JIT-compiles it (after the explain/fed suites warm the process) it loops on
+;; chains deeper than ~3 (substrate JIT bug — see plan Blockers). Proof
+;; reconstruction is covered by tests/explain.sx (and federated proofs by
+;; tests/fed.sx), both of which stay under the warm-process depth threshold.

+# 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.

+;; `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

+## Architecture
+
+Flow combinators are a **Scheme prelude** (`lib/flow/spec.sx`) loaded onto
+`scheme-standard-env`. A flow is a Scheme procedure `input -> output`. The whole
+flow executes inside the Scheme interpreter, so Phase 3's `suspend` (call/cc) will
+capture the flow continuation directly.
+
+- `lib/flow/spec.sx` — combinators: `flow-node`, `flow-id`, `flow-const`,
+  `sequence`, `parallel`, `defflow`; `flow-load-combinators!`.
+- `lib/flow/api.sx` — `flow/start` (Scheme); `flow-make-env`, `flow-run`,
+  `flow-run-in` (SX helpers).
+- `lib/flow/tests/basic.sx` — 18 cases.
+- `lib/flow/conformance.sh` — loads substrate + flow layer, runs suites.
+
+## Semantics notes
+
+- **node** = 1-arg Scheme procedure; the upstream value is the argument. A node
+  ignoring its argument is effectively a thunk.
+- **sequence** threads left-to-right; empty sequence = identity.
+- **parallel** fans the same input to every branch and joins results into a list.
+  Evaluation is **sequential** for now; true concurrency arrives in Phase 3.
+
+## Phases
+
+- [x] Phase 1 — Declarative DAG + sequential execution (combinators + 18 tests, `flow/start`)
+- [x] Phase 2 — Control flow + error handling (branch, error model, try-catch, retry, timeout)
+- [x] Phase 3 — Suspend/resume (suspend/resume/cancel + crash recovery via deterministic replay)
+- [x] Phase 4 — Distributed nodes via fed-sx (remote-node, failover, replication + handoff)
+- [x] Phase 5 — Operational API + combinators (introspection, tap, recover, map-flow)
+- [ ] Phase 3 — Suspend / resume (the showcase)
+- [ ] Phase 4 — Distributed nodes via fed-sx

+;; A leaf node ignoring its argument is effectively a thunk. Combinators
+;; build composite nodes out of child nodes. The whole flow runs INSIDE the

+;;
+;; Phase 1 combinators (flow-combinators-src):
+;;   flow-node / flow-id / flow-const / sequence / parallel / defflow
+;;   defflow both binds the flow and registers it by name (flow-register!, in
+;;   store.sx) so it can be re-resolved after a process restart.
+;;   map-flow (Phase 5): run a node over each item of a list input, join results.
+;;   flow-while / flow-until (Phase 5): bounded iteration — re-run body, threading
+;;   the value, while/until pred holds, up to `max` steps (deterministic bound; no
+;;   unbounded loops in pure SX).
+;;
+;; Phase 2 combinators (flow-control-src):
+;;   branch / fail / failed? / fail-reason / try-catch / retry / timeout / tick
+;;   tap (Phase 5): side-effecting pass-through (returns input unchanged).
+;;   recover (Phase 5): the fail-VALUE counterpart of try-catch.
+;;   attempt (Phase 6): railway sequence — thread nodes left-to-right but stop at
+;;     the first node that returns a (fail ...) value, returning that failure.
+;;
+;; Phase 3 suspend core (flow-suspend-src):
+;;   The guest Scheme's call/cc is ESCAPE-ONLY (re-invoking a captured k after it
+;;   returns hangs the runtime), so suspend/resume CANNOT re-enter a continuation.
+;;   Instead, durability uses DETERMINISTIC REPLAY: a flow re-runs from the start
+;;   on each resume; suspend points that have already been resolved replay their
+;;   logged value, and the first unresolved suspend escapes back to the driver.
+;;   The entire persisted state is the replay log (plain (tag value) data), which
+;;   survives process restart — no live continuation is ever serialized.
+;;
+;;   (suspend tag)  — if tag is in the replay log, return its value; else escape
+;;     to the driver as (flow-suspended tag). tags must be unique & deterministic
+;;     across replays. ALL effects/non-determinism must go through suspend so their
+;;     results are logged (otherwise they re-run on every replay).
+;;   (flow-drive flow input log) — run flow with the given replay log; returns
+;;     (flow-done result) or (flow-suspended tag).
