CWL — language whitepaper
From code: packages, hand-written parser AST, golds 01–35, RFCs 0001–0028, dna-seed fields, diagnose codes, smoke:ut-spine steps.
Documentation
Technical papers
CWL is the flagship. Everything else consumes it or proves against traffic. These pages are the public technical record — RFCs, surfaces, gates, residuals — not a product brochure.
Flagship
CWL first
WebIR & Rosetta whitepaper
From code: @chrysalis/webir 2.0.2, ingest/emit/verify lanes, core vs peel, DNA fingerprints, Hub grades.
Pillars
Convert · Secure · shared bar
Convert — Universal Translator whitepaper
From code: Hub :19090, peel/emit modules, oracle TraceCorpus, D6448 residual ledger, COBOL EXTFMAP, Pilot Kit.
Helix — traffic DNA whitepaper
From code: helix-proxy/dna-core, app-dna-v1 schema, HX-* codes, seed-cwl/cutover CLI, signed DNA, NGFW placement.
Traffic decides — bar whitepaper
From code: bar gates, smoke:ut-spine exact steps, declared vs observed, command-token table, soak residual.
System overview
How the three pillars fit: architecture, loop, non-goals, platforms.
