Module accel.dvs_native

Function native_executable(backend)

Validate the selected operator command without discovery or runtime installation.

Parameters

path : pathlib.Path A local converted NPY camera recording. maximum : int Validated returned float64 matrix byte limit. executable : pathlib.Path Validated operator-owned Linux DVS command. backend : {"go", "rust", "julia", "mojo"} Selected implementation used in refusal diagnostics. Julia takes an installed runtime executable and runs the packaged DVS script without startup files.

Returns

numpy.ndarray Writable owned C-contiguous four-column float64 events.

Raises

RuntimeError Native refusal, timeout, incomplete frame, invalid shape or oversized result. OSError The declared executable cannot be started.

Notes

The child inherits the compute process group, receives this parent's PID and has its own 30-second guard before loading the recording reader. The parent bounds startup and communicate together to 30 seconds, kills and reaps on interruption. Input/native buffers and pipe copies consume additional memory; the result budget is not an aggregate memory limit.

Function go_executable()

Validate the explicitly declared Go DVS command for existing callers.

Function read_go_recording(path, maximum, executable)

Read the declared Go command through the shared guarded binary protocol.


Module accel.dvs_recordings

Function read_dvs_recording(path)

Read a converted camera recording as an owned row-major event matrix.

Parameters

path : pathlib.Path One NPY array with x, y, polarity and millisecond timestamp columns. Versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, either byte order, and C/Fortran layouts are supported. Real integer, Boolean and floating scalar types are converted to float64; extended precision follows NumPy conversion. maximum_bytes : int Returned matrix byte limit, default 64 MiB. Header parsing uses at most 10,000 bytes. Input bytes and temporary copies are additional memory; this is not an aggregate memory cap.

backend : {"auto", "numpy", "go", "rust", "julia", "mojo"} Auto selects one explicitly declared SC_NEUROCORE_DVS_GO_EXE or SC_NEUROCORE_DVS_RUST_EXE, SC_NEUROCORE_DVS_JULIA_EXE or SC_NEUROCORE_DVS_MOJO_EXE, otherwise NumPy; multiple declarations refuse. Julia uses the declared runtime with the packaged script, one thread and startup files disabled. Explicit native selection requires an existing absolute Linux executable. A selected native refusal never falls back to NumPy.

Returns

numpy.ndarray Writable owned float64 array with shape (N, 4), without time rescaling.

Raises

ValueError Invalid budget, header, shape, nonreal dtype, truncation, extra content or result exceeding its declared budget. Pickle is never invoked. OSError The local recording or native executable is unreadable. RuntimeError A selected native command is unavailable, refuses or violates its bounded protocol.

Notes

Geometry, finite values, time monotonicity and manifest identity are checked by the caller's dataset and encoder contracts. No download or synthetic substitution occurs. NumPy is the reference implementation. Each selected native backend reads the recording directly; no native refusal falls back to NumPy.

Operator settings SC_NEUROCORE_DATASET_RUST_LIBRARY , SC_NEUROCORE_DATASET_MOJO_LIBRARY and SC_NEUROCORE_DATASET_GO_LIBRARY select absolute library paths; Julia requires an explicit operator opt-in and preconfigured JuliaCall runtime. Loading never installs dependencies or downloads artifacts.

Returns

numpy.ndarray Float64 columns x, y, polarity, timestamp_ms. Microseconds are divided by 1000 without encoder-dependent scaling or float32 narrowing.

Raises

ValueError Records are incomplete or the backend name is unknown. RuntimeError A requested or configured native decoder is unavailable or refuses the input. Native failure never silently substitutes another backend.

Module accel.mojo.isa_baseline

Function pin_isa(argv)

Return argv with --target-cpu x86-64-v3 after its mojo subcommand.

Finds the mojo executable followed by build or run and inserts the baseline flag immediately after the subcommand. The executable is matched by basename, so a resolved absolute path (e.g. shutil.which("mojo") → /home/user/.local/bin/mojo) is pinned exactly like the bare mojo token — otherwise an absolute-path call site would build an unpinned kernel that SIGILLs on a non-AVX-512 runner. A *.mojo source file is not matched (its basename ends in .mojo, not mojo). Idempotent: an argv that already carries --target-cpu is returned unchanged. A copy is returned; the input list is not mutated.

The runner is a subprocess façade over kernels.mojo.

Module accel.shd_recordings

Function read_shd_recording(path, index)

Read one auditory recording and its label through a selected real reader.

Parameters

path : pathlib.Path Local HDF5 file; the caller verifies dataset-manifest identity. index : int Non-negative recording index, identical in all three datasets. maximum_bytes : int Event-result byte budget, default 64 MiB. Zero admits empty rows. HDF5 input vectors, IPC bytes and temporary copies are additional memory. backend : {"auto", "numpy", "rust", "go", "julia", "mojo"} Auto uses measured shd-recording order, otherwise Rust, Go, Julia, Mojo then NumPy. Rust uses SC_NEUROCORE_SHD_RUST_LIBRARY or installed rust/safety/libshd.so; Go requires an existing SC_NEUROCORE_SHD_GO_LIBRARY absolute path or installed go/services/loaders/libshd.so. Its read runs in a fresh process to separate Julia and system HDF5 shared libraries. Julia requires an existing absolute SC_NEUROCORE_SHD_JULIA_EXE executable and system HDF5; its CLI uses only the installed standard library. Linux parent-death signals bound its lifetime when the caller disappears. Mojo requires an existing compiled Linux SC_NEUROCORE_SHD_MOJO_EXE and can select system HDF5 via SC_NEUROCORE_SHD_MOJO_HDF5_LIBRARY. An attempted native read never silently falls back or downloads a file.

Returns

tuple Writable float64 (events, 4) x/y/polarity/millisecond array and label.

Raises

This replaces the former random initialisation, so every backend can start the EM from an identical C.

Parameters

Y : numpy.ndarray Binned spike counts, shape (n_neurons, n_bins). n_latents : int Number of latent dimensions. bin_ms : float Bin width in milliseconds, used to set the GP timescales tau.

The initialisation is deterministic (PCA, see :func:gpfa_pca_init), so the result is reproducible and identical across acceleration backends up to floating-point round-off. seed is retained for API compatibility but no longer affects the result.

Parameters

Module compiler._sby_runner

Class SbyRun

The raw outcome of one :func:run_sby_task invocation.

Attributes

verdict : str The parsed SymbiYosys verdict ("PASS", "FAIL", "ERROR", ...). rc : int The return code reported inside the DONE (..., rc=N) summary line. returncode : int The sby process exit code (distinct from rc: the process may exit non-zero on a FAIL while rc classifies the proof outcome). counterexample : str or None The failing-assertion description when the output carries one, else None. trace_path : str or None Absolute path to the counterexample trace (resolved against the work directory) when the output names one, else None. summary : list[str] The sby summary: lines, retained for diagnostics. stdout : str The full captured standard output, retained for error reporting.

Function formal_tools_available(engine)

Return True when the full proof toolchain is on PATH.

Checks sby and yosys plus the SMT solver binary for engine — for the smtbmc backend the engine name is also the solver executable name (z3, boolector, yices …). A runner may have sby and yosys installed yet lack the solver (as on a CI image that ships only the HDL toolchain), in which case a proof would error out at the engine stage; this guard reports that case as unavailable so callers and tests can skip cleanly.

Parameters

engine : str The smtbmc SMT engine whose solver binary must also be present.

Returns

bool True only when sby, yosys, and the engine solver all resolve on PATH.

Function parse_verdict(stdout)

Extract the (verdict, rc) from the sby summary.

SymbiYosys prints one DONE (<verdict>, rc=<n>) line per finished task; the last such line is the authoritative outcome (an earlier DONE (ERROR, ...) can precede a retried task). Returns ("UNKNOWN", -1) when no DONE line is present at all — a truncated or crashed run.

Parameters

stdout : str The captured sby standard output.

Returns

tuple[str, int] The verdict token and the sby return code it reported.

Function run_sby_task(workdir, sby_name)

Run one already-written .sby task in workdir and read its verdict.

The .sby script and every source file it reads must already exist in workdir; this call only invokes sby -f <sby_name> there, captures the output, and parses it into an :class:SbyRun. Counterexample text and trace path are extracted opportunistically — they are populated regardless of verdict when present, and the caller decides which fields matter for its result type.

Parameters

workdir : Path Directory holding the .sby script and its sources; also the sby run tree and the base for resolving a relative counterexample trace path. sby_name : str File name of the .sby script within workdir. timeout_s : float Wall-clock limit for the sby process.

Returns

SbyRun The parsed run outcome.

Raises

RuntimeError If the sby process exceeds timeout_s.

Function is_inconclusive(run)

Return True for an inconclusive result — proved nothing, disproved nothing.

A k-induction (mode prove) run whose base case holds but whose induction step does not converge reports UNKNOWN with :data:_INCONCLUSIVE_RC: the property may well be true, but was not proved and no counterexample was found (the induction step reached the goal from an unreachable predecessor). This is a real, honest outcome distinct from both a disproof and a tool failure.

Parameters

run : SbyRun The raw run to inspect.

Returns

bool True only for the UNKNOWN / inconclusive-return-code signature.

Function raise_for_incomplete(run)

Raise when the run is a tool or setup failure, not a verdict about the design.

A PASS (proved) or FAIL (disproved with a counterexample) is a conclusive outcome, and an inconclusive k-induction result (:func:is_inconclusive) is a real — if unhelpful — outcome; none of these raise. Any other verdict — ERROR, a crash with no DONE line, a timeout — is a tool or setup failure that must not be read as a claim about the design, so callers invoke this before interpreting a result.

Parameters

run : SbyRun The raw run to inspect. what : str Short label for the check ("equivalence proof", "property proof") used in the raised message.

Raises

RuntimeError When the run neither proved, disproved, nor came back inconclusive.


Module compiler._verilog_folded_datapath

Function compile_to_datapath(neuron, module_name, data_width, fraction)

Compile an EquationNeuron to a combinational processing element.

State is carried on ports — <var>_reg inputs and <var>_next_out outputs — instead of internal registers, so one PE can be time-multiplexed across many neurons (the folded interconnect stores per-neuron state in BRAM and streams it through this PE one neuron per cycle). spike_out and each <var>_next_out are the post-threshold, post-reset next values, computed by the same fragments as :func:compile_to_verilog — so the folded datapath is bit-for-bit identical to the per-instance module.

param_ports names the parameters to carry on input ports instead of baking them as module parameter defaults. A folded population whose neurons have heterogeneous parameters drives these ports from a per-neuron parameter ROM (one value per neuron, streamed by the sequencer), the parameter-space analogue of the state BRAM. Because the arithmetic body references each parameter by the same P_<NAME> identifier whether it is a parameter or an input wire, moving a parameter to a port changes only its declaration — the datapath stays bit-for-bit identical. Every name must be a real neuron parameter/constant; the rest stay baked. Escape-rate models additionally expose the already-advanced 16-bit rng_sample input: the folded population owns one LFSR state per neuron in BRAM and supplies that sample on the same cycle as the corresponding membrane state.

Pipelining is not supported here (a combinational PE has no register stages); the folded sequencer provides the one-cycle-per-neuron timing instead.

Unsigned emission is rejected because the expression and derivative datapaths use signed fixed-point arithmetic. Product rounding accepts "truncate", "nearest", or "bankers"; "stochastic" is rejected because the PE has no caller-owned product-rounding LFSR.


Module compiler._verilog_registered_module

Function compile_to_verilog(neuron, module_name, data_width, fraction)

Compile an EquationNeuron to synthesizable Verilog RTL.

Parameters

neuron : EquationNeuron The neuron defined by arbitrary ODE strings. module_name : str Name of the generated Verilog module. data_width : int Bit width for fixed-point arithmetic (default 16 = Q8.8). fraction : int Number of fractional bits (default 8). signed : bool Must be True. Unsigned emission is rejected because the expression and derivative datapaths use signed fixed-point arithmetic. overflow : str Overflow mode: "saturate" (default), "wrap", or "trap". rounding : str Rounding mode: "truncate" (default), "nearest", or "bankers". "stochastic" is rejected because the generated datapath has no caller-owned product-rounding LFSR. pipeline_stages : int 0 disables global pipelining; any positive value registers multiply outputs. Must be non-negative and cannot be combined with pipeline_points. pipeline_points : list[str], optional Unique intermediate multiply names to register instead of enabling the global pipeline.

Write a SymbiYosys evidence bundle for adaptive-precision claims.

Renders the bounded-error monitor RTL, the bound assertion checker, a runnable .sby script, and a manifest describing the claim. The bundle is deterministic: identical arguments produce byte-identical artefacts.

Parameters

output_dir : str or Path Directory to write the bundle into (created if absent). assignments : list[SynapsePrecision] The precision plan. Must be non-empty. module_name : str Top-level module name for the generated RTL and SVA. execute : bool When False (default) the bundle is only written and the manifest records symbiyosys_executed = False — no external tools are invoked, keeping the call deterministic and CI-safe. When True and the formal toolchain (sby / yosys / z3) is on PATH, the proof is run and the real verdict recorded; when the toolchain is absent, a skip reason is recorded instead of a fabricated pass. unbounded : bool Selects the proof method for both the emitted .sby and the executed proof. False (default) uses bounded model checking to length + 2 cycles — complete because the accumulator saturates. True uses k-induction (mode prove), an unbounded proof whose depth does not scale with the bitstream length (the monitor carries the 1-inductive strengthening lemma the induction needs). k-induction can come back inconclusive, which is recorded honestly rather than as a pass.

Returns

Return the C integer type the kernel uses for a data_width-bit word.

Function kernel_arithmetic_contract()

State the fixed-point arithmetic a generated neuron kernel performs.

The description is derived from the same configuration checks the generator applies, so it cannot drift from what :func:generate_bittrue_kernel_from_neuron emits: value encoding, multiply width collapse and product rounding, accumulate overflow handling, division and modulo lowering, look-up-table geometry for the transcendental vocabulary, and the threshold / reset / output sequencing of the RTL always block the kernel mirrors.

Parameters

data_width, fraction : int Fixed-point word geometry (Q<data_width - fraction>.<fraction> in the Studio label convention, Q8.8 = 16 bits). overflow : str "saturate" or "wrap" (the accumulate commit policy). rounding : str "truncate" or "nearest" (the multiply product policy). method : str "euler" (next = commit(reg + fxmul(f, dt_q))) or "map" (next = commit(f)).

Returns

dict Path-free, JSON-portable statement of the arithmetic.

Raises

ValueError For a geometry, mode or method the kernel does not mirror, with the same message the generator would raise.

Function generate_bittrue_kernel(module_name, equations)

Generate a bit-true fixed-point kernel from a {var: derivative} mapping.

Each state variable advances by one unit-dt explicit-Euler step using the same wrap-truncate multiply and saturating accumulate as the RTL datapath. Identifiers in the derivatives that are not state variables become step arguments (the input current I maps to I_t when referenced), so the kernel exercises the bit-true primitives without a per-instance I/O contract. For a whole-neuron kernel that mirrors the generated Verilog, use :func:generate_bittrue_kernel_from_neuron.

Parameters

module_name : str Base name for the generated struct / functions. equations : dict Mapping from state-variable name to its derivative expression string. data_width : int Fixed-point total width (default 16 → Q8.8). fraction : int Fractional bits (default 8). language : str "c" (default) or "rust".

Returns

str Bit-true kernel source code.

Function generate_bittrue_kernel_from_neuron(neuron, module_name)

Generate a whole-neuron kernel bit-identical to the compiled Verilog.

Mirrors :func:sc_neurocore.compiler.verilog_compiler.compile_to_verilog exactly for explicit-Euler and discrete-map neurons — parameter/constant Q-encoding, wrap-truncate arithmetic, the same overflow handling, and the threshold / reset / spike sequencing of the RTL always block. Threshold and reset expressions may read <state>_prev aliases for the pre-step register while ordinary state names resolve to the integrated candidate. Both state and output fields take the same post-reset value on a spike. The resulting <module>_step therefore produces the identical per-cycle state trace as the RTL, which the iverilog co-simulation checks on the stimuli it runs.

Parameters

neuron : EquationNeuron The neuron whose ODEs, parameters, threshold and reset rules are lowered. module_name : str Base name for the generated struct / functions. data_width, fraction : int Fixed-point format (default Q8.8). signed : bool Signed two's complement (only True is supported; unsigned neuron state is not part of the RTL contract). overflow : str "saturate" (default) or "wrap". rounding : str "truncate" (default) or "nearest". language : str "c" (default) or "rust".

Returns

str Bit-true whole-neuron kernel source code.

Attributes

The equation-to-Verilog emitters currently reject unsigned instances because their state and expression datapaths are signed.

============ ========== =============== ================= =============== Mode data_width fraction Integer range Resolution ============ ========== =============== ================= =============== Q8.8 16 8 [-128, +127.996] 1/256 ≈ 0.004 Q4.12 16 12 [-8, +7.9998] 1/4096 ≈ 0.0002 Q16.16 32 16 [-32768, +32767] 1/65536 ≈ 1.5e-5 UQ8.8 16 8 (unsigned) [0, +255.996] 1/256 ≈ 0.004 ============ ========== =============== ================= ===============

Overflow Modes

Text Only
- ``"saturate"`` — clamp to the representable interval (default)
- ``"wrap"``     — two's complement wrap-around (Loihi 2 hardware behaviour)
- ``"trap"``     — emit a simulation-only ``$fatal`` assertion

Rounding Modes
- "truncate" — arithmetic shift towards negative infinity (default) - "nearest" — round to nearest, ties away from zero - "bankers" — round to nearest, ties to even (IEEE 754 default) - "stochastic" — reserved label; equation-to-Verilog emission rejects it

Parameters

data_width : int Total number of bits in the encoded word. fraction : int Number of fractional bits. signed : bool Whether range diagnostics interpret the word as two's-complement. overflow : str Overflow policy consumed by the Verilog emitters. rounding : str Product-rounding policy consumed by the expression emitter. The public equation-to-Verilog paths reject "stochastic" because they do not own a rounding LFSR.

  • post_init()
  • Validate the fixed-point geometry and declared arithmetic modes.
  • integer_bits()
  • Return the number of magnitude bits above the binary point.
  • max_value()
  • Return the largest representable value.

None declares a scalar (1-bit) port. signed : bool Whether the port is declared signed.

  • declaration()
  • Return the output wire port declaration for the module header.
  • assignment()
  • Return the continuous assign that drives the tap from its source.

Function expose_state_taps(verilog)

Instrument top to expose internal signals as observation output ports.

Adds each tap's output wire port to the module's ANSI port list and a continuous assign before endmodule. The result is behaviourally identical to the original on its original ports; the new ports let a miter assert the state-matching invariant an unbounded k-induction proof needs (see the module docstring for why hierarchical references and bind do not work with yosys 0.33).

Parameters

verilog : str Verilog source containing top. top : str Module to instrument. taps : list[StateTap] The taps to add. Must be non-empty; port names must be unique and must not collide with an existing port.

Parameters

weights : list of ndarray Weight matrices [W1, W2, ...] where W_i has shape (n_out, n_in). firing_rates : list of ndarray, optional Per-neuron firing rates for each layer.

Weights that produce nearly-deterministic bitstreams (p near 0 or 1) contribute almost nothing to computation — they can be replaced with constant 0/1 gates, saving AND+popcount hardware.

Parameters

weights : list of ndarray Weight matrices (values in [0, 1] for unipolar SC). bitstream_length : int Bitstream length (L). Longer streams = more bits per weight. min_popcount_bits : float Minimum expected popcount contribution to keep a weight. Weights contributing fewer bits than this are zeroed.

Module conversion.ann_to_snn

Function replace_relu_with_qcfs(model, T, theta, learn_theta)

Swap every ReLU/ReLU6 in a model for a QCFS activation, in place.

This prepares a trained or fresh ANN for conversion-aware fine-tuning: after substitution the network is retrained for a few epochs so the QCFS thresholds settle. Conversion loss is then measured against the source ANN; QCFS does not guarantee lossless conversion for arbitrary spike timing.

Parameters

model : nn.Module Model whose registered ReLU/ReLU6 children are replaced in place. All aliases of one original activation retain one shared QCFS module and learned threshold. The container and activation training modes are preserved; the root module itself is returned unchanged. T : int Quantisation step budget for each inserted QCFS layer. theta : float Initial firing threshold for each inserted QCFS layer. learn_theta : bool Whether each inserted threshold is a trainable parameter (the QCFS fine-tuning default).

Returns

nn.Module The same model instance, returned for chaining.

Function convert(model, calibration_data, T, percentile)

Convert a trained PyTorch ANN to a rate-coded SNN.

Activations are associated with their actual preceding source operations. ReLU and QCFS stages retain separate calibration scales and preloads in mixed networks. Unsupported dense-target operators fail compatibility admission.

Parameters

model : nn.Module Trained PyTorch model representable by a single-input dense forward path with Linear, ReLU/ReLU6 and QCFS operations. Actual invocations, including shared modules and functional ReLUs, determine the exported topology. calibration_data : Tensor, optional Sample source-format input for every ReLU invocation, including functional activations in mixed ReLU/QCFS networks. None uses unit ReLU scales; QCFS invocations always retain their learned thresholds. T : int, optional Number of simulation timesteps (higher = more accurate, slower). If None, the QCFS route adopts the layers' trained step budget and the ReLU route defaults to 16. percentile : float Activation percentile for threshold normalization on the ReLU route.

max_working_bytes : int Numeric storage budget for source copying and exported snapshots.

Returns

ConvertedSNN Converted spiking network ready to run.


Module conversion.calibration

Function calibrate_activation_thresholds(model, calibration_data, percentile)

Measure each ReLU's inference activation percentile in forward order.

Parameters

model : nn.Module Source ANN. Its original per-module training modes and user hooks are retained on success and failure. calibration_data : torch.Tensor Nonempty finite input tensor passed through the actual source network. percentile : float Activation percentile in the closed interval &#91;0, 100&#93;.

Returns

Function build_qcfs_classifier(n_inputs, hidden, n_outputs, steps)

Build the dense classifier with QCFS activations the Studio conversion route trains.

Parameters

n_inputs, n_outputs : int Flattened input width and class count. hidden : tuple of int Hidden widths in order; empty for a direct input-to-output layer. steps : int QCFS step budget of every activation.

Returns

torch.nn.Sequential Flatten then alternating Linear and QCFS layers, ending in Linear.

Function network_from_checkpoint(payload)

Convert the network a trusted, already loaded checkpoint holds.

Parameters

payload : object What torch.load(..., weights_only=True) returned. steps : int Timestep budget for a plain state dict; a Studio checkpoint uses its own. calibration : ndarray, optional (samples, inputs) source-format samples for ReLU threshold calibration of a plain state dict. max_dense_params : int Largest accepted number of dense weights.

Function load_converted_network(path)

Read a network written by :func:save_converted_network.

Module conversion.converted_snn

Class ConvertedSNN

Parameters

weights : sequence of array_like Output-by-input matrices. Constructor inputs are copied to float64. biases : sequence of array_like or None Constant per-step currents in each layer's normalized threshold units. thresholds : sequence of float Positive finite thresholds, one per layer. T : int Positive timestep budget, at most 2**53 for exact count arithmetic. initial_membrane_fraction : float Default IF membrane preload in threshold units; QCFS uses 0.5. output_scale : float Positive finite source activation units per unit of decoded rate. output_mode : {'spikes', 'linear'} IF spike-count output or integrated signed linear readout. A linear final layer has no threshold/reset events and starts at zero. max_working_bytes : int Numeric buffer budget for constructor coefficient snapshots. Runtime calls accept their own budget; each defaults to 256 MiB.

layer_membrane_fractions : sequence of float, optional Per-layer preloads for mixed activation routes. None uses the global fraction; the final linear integrator always starts at zero.

Notes

Public coefficient arrays are owned by this object. Replays snapshot and validate them again, so caller edits cannot bypass shape/domain admission. The dense-if-f64-sequential-v1 profile orders input-column reductions and separates multiplication/addition instead of using BLAS reductions.

The public and native owners are always read from the imported sc_neurocore package, so a report binds the code that actually ran, whether that package is a source checkout or an installed wheel.

Parameters

resources : Path or None Directory holding the executing comparison scripts. None resolves the installed package's conversion/benchmark_resources, or the owning checkout's benchmarks when the package is a source tree.

Resolve the requested native runtime, including for empty input batches.

Parameters

backend : {'auto', 'numpy', 'rust', 'go', 'mojo', 'julia'} Auto orders configured native providers by a validated optional comparison; without one, Rust then Go then Mojo then Julia. NumPy always uses the floor.

Returns

tuple of str Resolved installed executable and locked project paths.

Raises

Notes

Input columns are accumulated in ascending order with separate float64 multiply and add operations. Bias follows the complete dot product. Layers consume the preceding layer's events within the same timestep. Each IF emits at most one spike, including when the membrane equals its threshold. Empty time or batch axes preserve initial states and emit no events. A linear readout retains its supplied cumulative integral.

Parameters

model : torch.nn.Module Module whose state is digested in name order.

Returns

str Hex SHA-256 over each state entry's name, dtype, shape and C-ordered storage bytes. PyTorch runs only on little-endian hosts, so the bytes are little-endian for every dtype, including those NumPy lacks.

Function data_sha256(inputs, labels)

Module conversion.model_trace

Class ConversionTracer

Retain QCFS as an atomic source activation alongside Torch leaf modules.

Parameters

model : nn.Module Source network; its tensors, module modes and hook registries are retained. max_working_bytes : int Positive numeric budget checked before copying source tensor storage.

Raises

MemoryError If independent source tensor storage exceeds the declared byte budget. ValueError If the source forward requires untraceable data-dependent control flow.

Notes

User forward code executes during symbolic tracing. Model state is isolated by deepcopy; Python, NumPy, Torch CPU and accelerator generator states are restored on both paths, serialised against other conversions in the process. This does not undo external effects performed by custom user forward code.

Scan a dataset directory and record its files and samples.

Parameters

Returns

EventDatasetManifest The manifest.

Raises

ValueError On an unknown dataset, an empty version, a directory holding none of the dataset's files, or a label outside the dataset's classes.

Function verify_manifest(manifest, root)

Module datasets.splits

Class SplitPlan

Which samples of a manifest go to which split, by whole groups.

Attributes

  • digest()
  • sha256: over the canonical JSON form.

Function group_split(manifest)

Divide one published split into new splits made of whole groups.

Groups are taken in an order fixed by seed; each goes to the split whose sample count is furthest below its requested share. The shares are therefore met as closely as whole groups allow, never by cutting a group.

Parameters

manifest: The dataset manifest. fractions: Share of the source split's samples per new split; positive, summing to one. source_split: The published split to divide; other published splits are untouched. seed: Seed of the group order.

Returns

SplitPlan The plan, tied to the manifest's digest.

Raises

ValueError On shares that are not positive or do not sum to one, an unknown source split, or fewer groups than requested splits.

Return the groups that have samples in more than one split of a plan.

Parameters

manifest: The manifest the plan was drawn from. plan: The plan to check.

Raises

ValueError When the plan was drawn from another manifest.

Function group_overlap(manifest)

Report groups that the publisher's own splits share.

Parameters

manifest: The dataset manifest.

Returns

dict Each shared group to the published splits it appears in; empty when the published splits keep every group apart.

Function split_plan_from_dict(data)

Read a plan's JSON form, refusing anything it does not define.

A plan read back is not trusted to be sound: check it against its manifest with :func:validate_split_plan before training on it.

Parameters

data: The parsed JSON.

Returns

SplitPlan The plan.

Raises

ValueError On another schema, missing or unknown fields, invalid types, duplicate positions, or inconsistent split names. Values are never coerced.

Function validate_split_plan(manifest, plan)

Check a complete split's sample and group custody before training.

Parameters

manifest: Manifest whose source split is being divided. plan: Imported or generated plan. Every source sample must occur once, every part must be non-empty, and declared groups must match samples.

Raises

ValueError If the schema, manifest digest, source split, sample membership, coverage, group declarations or separation is invalid.

Notes

Requested fractions are allocation goals, not an exact sample-count constraint: indivisible groups can prevent exact fraction matching.

Class SCCompilerError

Compiler pipeline configuration or target error.

Raised by sc_neurocore.compiler.pipeline for unknown FPGA target, invalid output names, and path-escape detection.

Class SCDependencyError

Optional dependency (JAX, Torch, PennyLane, Qiskit) not installed.

Raised by JAX backend, quantum hardware bridge, learning callbacks (W&B, TensorBoard) and similar feature-gated paths.

Class SCHardwareError

FPGA/hardware driver or bitstream error.

Raised by the PYNQ driver (missing IP block) and by Verilog export when the model is not in the LIF whitelist.

Class BitstreamOverflowError

Bitstream length exceeds the maximum supported width.

Reserved for future use — v3.14.0 bitstream encoders saturate silently or raise plain ValueError for related issues (e.g. the recent Q8.8 dt-underflow guard). Migration tracked under task #36.

Class SeedCollisionError

Two encoders received the same LFSR seed, breaking decorrelation.

Parameters

result The path-free stochastic-computing inference result. signer The studio's :class:~scpn_studio_platform.seal.keys.Signer.

Function regrade_fpga(unit)

Recompute the FPGA grade from the signed unit.

Parameters

result The path-free synthesis/deployment result. artifacts The content-addressed artifacts the claim rests on; at least one is required, and a cosim-transcript must be present for the claim to grade as validated. signer The studio's :class:~scpn_studio_platform.seal.keys.Signer.

Returns

Verdict :data:~scpn_studio_platform.seal.verdict.Verdict.VERIFIED only when the signature is valid and the rendered grade equals the grade recomputed from the signed unit; otherwise STRIPPED / FORGED / UNGRADED.

Upgrade supported SC-NIR payloads to the current canonical schema.

Version v0.1 did not encode recurrent connection delay, and versions before v0.3 did not distinguish spiking, analogue-state, and weight streams. Version v0.4 added explicit stream transform metadata for threshold comparators. Version v0.5 permits delay_steps to be either a scalar integer or a per-source-column integer vector. Version v0.6 adds top-level hierarchy instance and port metadata. Version v0.7 adds optional validated per-weight-stream online-learning annotations. Legacy upgrades insert the missing fields before validating through the typed schema. Current documents are canonicalised through the same deterministic writer.

Function ollivier_ricci_curvature(knm, i, j, backend)

Compute Ollivier-Ricci curvature between nodes i and j on the coupling graph.

Ollivier (2009), "Ricci curvature of Markov chains on metric spaces." The curvature kappa(i,j) measures how much the neighborhoods of i and j overlap. Positive curvature = neighborhoods converge (community structure). Negative curvature = neighborhoods diverge (bottleneck).

kappa(i,j) = 1 - W1(mu_i, mu_j) / d(i,j) where mu_i is the lazy random walk distribution from node i, and W1 is the Wasserstein-1 distance on the unweighted support graph (an exact successive-shortest-path min-cost flow).

Parameters

knm : np.ndarray, shape (N, N) Coupling matrix (non-negative, not necessarily symmetric). i, j : int Node indices. backend : {"auto", "rust", "julia", "go", "mojo", "python"} Acceleration backend selector. auto prefers Rust when the sc_neurocore_engine wheel is built, else the pure-NumPy path. The named backends force a specific path and raise RuntimeError when that backend is unavailable. Every backend reproduces the NumPy reference to float64 round-off.

Function sheaf_consistency_defect(phases, knm)

Compute the sheaf consistency defect for the SCPN phase state.

defect = (1/N^2) * sum_{i,j} |K_ij| * |1 - cos(theta_i - theta_j)|

When phases are synchronized (all equal), defect = 0. When phases are maximally incoherent, defect approaches max(|K|).

This is equivalent to (1 - Kuramoto_R) weighted by coupling.

Parameters

phases : np.ndarray, shape (N,) Phase values (radians) for each layer/oscillator. knm : np.ndarray, shape (N, N) Coupling matrix.

Returns

float Sheaf consistency defect >= 0. Zero means globally coherent.

Function connection_curvature(phases, knm)

The PGBO covariant derivative u_mu = dphi_mu - alpha * A_mu defines a U(1) connection. The curvature F_{ij} = K_{ij} * cos(theta_i - theta_j) measures the obstruction to parallel transport between layers i and j.

Parameters

phases : np.ndarray, shape (N,) Phase values. knm : np.ndarray, shape (N, N) Coupling matrix.

Returns

np.ndarray, shape (N, N) Connection curvature matrix. Diagonal is zero.

Module network.population

Class Population

A group of N identical neurons with vectorized state access.

  • init(model, n, params, label)

  • Return the state this population's model holds under zero input.
  • step_all(currents, spike_gating)
  • Advance all neurons one timestep; return binary spike vector.
  • reset_all()
  • Reset every neuron to its initial state.

  • set_voltages(voltages)
  • Sync voltages from an external source (e.g. Rust backend) into neurons.
  • voltages()
  • Current membrane voltages (read-only view).

Module network.population_seeds

Function derive_population_seeds(base_seed, count, domain)

Derive one distinct seed per neuron, reproducibly.

Parameters

base_seed : int The seed the population was asked for. It is the only entropy used, so two populations built with the same base seed and count are identical. count : int How many neurons need a seed.

Returns

list of int count distinct seeds in &#91;1, 65535&#93;, in neuron order.

Raises

ValueError If count is negative, or exceeds the number of distinct seeds the domain holds. Refusing is deliberate: the alternative is handing two neurons the same stream, which is the defect this exists to remove.


Module network.projection

Class Projection

Synaptic projection from source to target population.

Parameters

delay : float, array-like, or 0 Axonal delay in timesteps, not in milliseconds. The unit is the integration step the network is run at, so the same number means a different physical delay at a different dt.

Text Only
- 0: no delay (default).
- scalar > 0: uniform axonal delay, shared by every synapse.
- 1-D array of length ``n_synapses``: per-synapse delay, for
  heterogeneous axonal delays.

A non-integral value is **rounded to the nearest whole step** —
half to even, so both ``1.5`` and ``2.5`` become 2 — and a positive
value below half a step still occupies one, because a spike that is
delayed at all cannot arrive in the step it was emitted. Read
:attr:`delay_steps` for what actually runs; ``delay`` keeps the value
that was asked for, and the two differ whenever the request was not a
whole number of steps.

The two forms round differently, which is stated rather than tidied
away: a **scalar** below half a step is floored at one, while the same
value in a **per-synapse array** rounds to zero. Changing either would
move existing runs, so both are pinned by tests instead.

The graph surface refuses a non-integral delay outright rather than
rounding. This facade rounds because it predates that rule and callers
depend on it; the difference is stated here rather than left to be
discovered.

Parameters

neuron : object A neuron in the state whose quiescence is in question, usually a freshly constructed or reset instance. It is not modified: the probe runs on a copy.

Returns

tuple or None The signature a neuron must match to be skippable, or None when this model does not hold still — because a copy stepped with zero input spiked, moved an attribute, refused the call, or could not be copied at all. None means this model's populations are never gated.

Examples

from sc_neurocore.neurons.models.lapicque import LapicqueNeuron quiescent_signature(LapicqueNeuron()) is not None True resting = LapicqueNeuron() resting.v += 5.0 quiescent_signature(resting) is None True

Module network.rust_dispatch

Function population_divergence(population)

  • encode_sequence(symbols)
  • Bind a symbol sequence into one position-aware hypervector.
  • vocabulary_size()
  • Return the number of distinct symbols encoded so far.

Class PredictiveCodingLayer

Single layer in a hierarchical predictive coding network.

Module neurons._stochastic_threshold

Class Lfsr16Threshold

Stateful advance-before-compare Bernoulli sampler with replayable reset.

  • init(seed)
  • initial_seed()

  • Return the last emitted LFSR sample/state.

  • Take one eight-advance sample and perform one quantised trial.

  • reset()
  • Restore the exact explicit or entropy-derived initial seed.

Function normalise_lfsr16_seed(seed)

Return a valid non-zero 16-bit seed.

None requests independent entropy for ordinary Python model instances. Explicit zero uses the documented hardware fallback seed so that a C ABI or RTL parameter can never lock the maximal-length recurrence in the all-zero state.

Function lfsr16_advance(state)

Advance the canonical right-shift x^16+x^14+x^13+x^11+1 LFSR.

Function lfsr16_trial_sample(state)

Return the decimated sample used by one Bernoulli trial.

Eight primitive advances suppress the strong adjacent-state correlation of a raw shift-register word. Eight is coprime with the 65,535-state period, so decimation retains the complete non-zero state cycle and exact rate quantisation rather than shortening the generator period.

Function probability_to_lfsr16_threshold(probability)

Map p to an unbiased comparator threshold over 65,535 states.

A trial advances the LFSR first and compares its non-zero sample with the returned 17-bit threshold. For 0 < p < 1 the realised probability is floor(p * 65535) / 65535; the absolute quantisation error is therefore strictly below one LFSR period quantum. Zero never fires and one always fires, while both still consume one RNG sample.


Module neurons._units

Function require_pint()

Function is_quantity(value)

Function require_quantity(value, label)

Function quantity_to_base(value)

Function build_quantity_namespace()

Function validate_quantity_expression(expr, env)


Module neurons.base

Class BaseNeuron

Abstract base class for stochastic neuron models.

  • step(input_current)
  • Advance the neuron by one time step and return a spike (0 or 1).
  • reset_state()
  • Reset the internal state to default / initial values.
  • get_state()
  • Return a dict with the internal state (e.g., membrane potential).

Module neurons.behavior_taxonomy

Function behavior_tag_definition(tag)

Return the observable definition of a behaviour tag.

Raises

ValueError If tag is not in the controlled vocabulary.

Function validate_behavior_tags(tags)

Validate a behaviour-tag collection and return a sorted, unique tuple.

A model is either excitable or quiescent but never both, and a quiescent model cannot also carry a firing-pattern tag — these contradictions signal a corrupted or hand-edited tag set and are rejected.

Parameters

tags: An iterable of tag strings (for example the behavior_tags field of a descriptor or the output of the probe).

Returns

tuple[str, ...] The tags, de-duplicated and sorted, ready to store or compare.

Raises

ValueError If tags is not an iterable of strings, names a tag outside the vocabulary, or carries a contradictory combination.


Module neurons.dendritic

Class StochasticDendriticNeuron

XOR-nonlinearity neuron with shunting inhibition.

Implements d1 + d2 - 2*d1*d2 (XOR truth table for binary inputs). Based on Koch, Biophysics of Computation, 1999, Ch. 12.

  • step(input_a, input_b)
  • reset_state()
  • Reset internal state to defaults.
  • get_state()
  • Return dict with internal state.

Module neurons.descriptor_generator

Function generate_descriptor_payload(class_name)

Return a curatable v2 descriptor payload for a registered model.

Parameters

class_name: Registered model class name (a key of the model registry).

Returns

dict[str, Any] A descriptor payload using the v2 section layout, with introspected and carried-over values filled and curation-only fields left empty.

Raises

ValueError If class_name is not a public Python identifier. KeyError If class_name is not registered.

Function generate_descriptor(class_name)

Return a validated :class:ModelDescriptor skeleton for a model.

Parameters

class_name: Registered public model class name to introspect.

Returns

ModelDescriptor Parsed descriptor generated from the model code and any curated v1 schema fields.

Raises

ValueError If class_name is not a public Python identifier. KeyError If class_name is not registered.

Function merge_descriptor_payloads(curated, regenerated)

Merge a curated descriptor onto a freshly regenerated one.

Structural fields (which parameters and state variables exist, their defaults and initial values, the timestep) always follow the regenerated payload, which is read from the model code — so the corpus can never drift from the implementation. Curation fields (parameter units/ranges/meaning, state semantics, taxonomy, the backend matrix, reproducibility, notes, validation evidence, silicon evidence anchors, the curated display name and documentation slug, and any richer provenance, dynamics, or display fields) are preserved from the curated payload. The curated metadata.name and documentation.slug are authoritative overlays: a hand-written descriptive name (e.g. "Ermentrout-Kopell Theta Euler Map") is never overwritten by the generic generator default. A curated state entry whose name the regeneration classified as a parameter is dropped rather than preserved, so a variable reclassified in the code cannot end up declared in both tables. The result is the regenerated payload with curation overlaid, ready to be re-serialised.

Parameters

curated: The existing on-disk descriptor payload (may carry curation). regenerated: A freshly generated payload from :func:generate_descriptor_payload.

Returns

dict[str, Any] The merged descriptor payload.


Module neurons.descriptor_tiers

Class CompletenessTiers

A model's readiness on both catalogue-to-silicon axes.

Parameters

science: Science-axis tier in 0-5 (S0-S5). silicon: Silicon-axis tier in 0-5 (H0-H5), or None when the model has no committed silicon evidence yet.

  • science_label()
  • The science tier as an S<n> label.
  • silicon_label()
  • The silicon tier as an H<n> label, or "none" when unattempted.

Function science_tier(descriptor)

Return the science-axis tier (0-5) the descriptor reaches.

S0-S3 are the curation kernel from :func:~sc_neurocore.neurons.model_descriptor.descriptor_completeness_tier. A descriptor only climbs above S3 when its evidence facets carry the proof:

  • S4 — faithful dynamics: declared dynamics plus a confirmed three-way agreement with the publication (validation.dynamics_faithful).
  • S5 — class-validated: a non-trivial metric and committed evidence (validation.is_class_validated).

Parameters

descriptor: The model descriptor to score.

Returns

int The science tier in 0-5.

Function silicon_tier(descriptor)

Return the silicon-axis tier (0-5) the descriptor reaches, or None.

None means the model has no compile-clean RTL yet (no silicon evidence). Otherwise the ladder climbs one rung at a time, each rung credited only when both its boolean flag and its proof anchor are present:

  • H0 — silicon.compiles (iverilog-valid RTL).
  • H1 — co-simulation evidence recorded (cosim_validated + cosim_evidence); which boundary it compares (float model, bit-true kernel or RTL) is stated by that evidence, not by the rung.
  • H2 — synthesisable (synthesised + synth_report).
  • H3 — timing-closed and resource-characterised (timing_closed + timing_report + clock_mhz).
  • H4 — formally equivalent (formally_equivalent + equivalence_proof).
  • H5 — tool-level signed PPA (ppa_signed + ppa_report).

Parameters

descriptor: The model descriptor to score.

Returns

int | None The silicon tier in 0-5, or None when no RTL compiles.

Function completeness_tiers(descriptor)

Return both axis tiers for a descriptor.

Parameters

descriptor: The model descriptor to score.

Returns

CompletenessTiers The science (0-5) and silicon (0-5 or None) tiers together.

Function is_perfect(descriptor)

Return whether a model is perfect by the master-plan acceptance contract.

A model is perfect when it reaches S5 on the science axis and meets the terminal silicon tier its deployability class declares (silicon.target_tier). A model whose terminal tier is undeclared cannot be certified perfect: without the deployability class the required silicon tier is unknown, so this returns False rather than guessing.

Parameters

descriptor: The model descriptor to judge.

Returns

bool True only when S5 is reached and the declared terminal H-tier is met.

Module neurons.equation_builder

Class EquationNeuron

Neuron defined by arbitrary ODE equations as strings.

Each equation is a right-hand-side expression for dX/dt. Variables can reference other state variables, parameters, and the special variable I (input current).

units="strict" enables opt-in pint-based dimensional validation before the expressions are compiled for runtime.

  • init(equations, parameters, state, threshold, reset, constants, dt, method, units, input_unit, detection, substeps, rate_expression, probability_expression, rng_seed, noise_rng)
  • Initialise an equation-defined neuron from ODE strings.
  • initial_threshold_active()
  • Return whether the threshold condition holds on the INITIAL committed state.

  • get_state()
  • Return current state, with units if in strict mode.
  • escape_rng_initial_seed()
  • Return the emitted stochastic-threshold seed (legacy API name).
  • escape_rng_state()
  • Return the live stochastic-threshold state (legacy API name).
  • stochastic_rng_initial_seed()

  • stochastic_rng_state()
  • Return the live stochastic-threshold LFSR state, or None when unused.
  • reset()
  • Reset state to initial values.
  • repr()
  • Human-readable representation of the neuron equations.

Function from_equations()

Build an EquationNeuron from Brian2-style equation strings.

noise_rng seeds the diffusion-noise symbol xi; without it the process-global numpy.random stream is used.

Examples

Build a leaky integrate-and-fire neuron::

Text Only
lif = from_equations(
    "dv/dt = -(v - E_L)/tau_m + I/C",
    threshold="v > -50",
    reset="v = -65",
    params=dict(E_L=-65, tau_m=10, C=1),
    init=dict(v=-65),
)

Use units="strict" with pint quantities to validate the equation dimensions before runtime compilation.


Module neurons.equation_namespace

Function build_eval_namespace()

Return the maths namespace exposed to compiled equation expressions.

The returned dict is fresh on every call so a neuron may own its namespace without aliasing another's. The bindings are the exact functions the fixed-point emitter mirrors; keep them identical to preserve co-simulation bit-exactness (see the module docstring).


Module neurons.equation_safety

Class ExpressionSafetyValidator

Validate equation expression strings against the AST allowlist.

Holds the allowed node set, the blocked-name set, and the maximum AST depth, and exposes :meth:validate, which raises :class:ValueError on any disallowed construct. The same validator instance is reused for a neuron's dynamics, threshold, reset rules, and (for exponential Euler) its symbolic Jacobian, so every expression that reaches an eval site has passed the same gate.

  • init()
  • Create a validator with the given maximum AST depth.
  • validate(expr)
  • Validate an expression against the AST whitelist.

Module neurons.equation_units_runtime

Class StrictRuntime

Base-unit runtime values and unit maps produced by strict validation.

parameters/state/constants/dt are the base-unit floats the integrator steps; runtime_units maps each name (and the input I) to its base unit for converting runtime inputs; base_state_units and display_state_units let :meth:EquationNeuron.get_state re-attach the caller's display units to each state variable.

Function prepare_strict_runtime()

Convert pint quantities to base-unit floats for runtime.

Function convert_runtime_value()

Convert a runtime value from pint quantity to float.

Raised when an expression cannot be faithfully differentiated in-grammar.

Function differentiate(expr, wrt)

Return ∂expr/∂wrt as an equation string in the DSL grammar.

Parameters

expr: The right-hand-side of d(wrt)/dt — an equation string already valid under the neuron-DSL grammar. wrt: The state-variable name to differentiate with respect to.

Returns

str The partial derivative as a new equation string using only DSL-grammar tokens. "0" when the expression does not depend on wrt.

Raises

ExpressionDifferentiationError If the expression depends on wrt through a construct whose derivative is not expressible in the smooth grammar (abs/clip/min/ max, a comparison, a conditional, %, //, or an unknown function).


Module neurons.facet_receipts

Class FacetReceiptError

Raised when a receipt payload violates the receipt contract.

Class FacetSpec

Definition of one readiness facet.

Parameters

name: Facet identifier (backend:rust, cosim, …). axis: science (S4/S5), software (per-backend completion) or silicon (H0–H5 and the physical rung beyond them). rung: Tier rung the facet credits on its axis, or None when it credits no tier (per-backend completion, bounded safety, physical measurement). required_subjects: Subject kinds a creditable receipt must carry. optional_subjects: Subject kinds a receipt may carry; they are checked for freshness when present. evidence_field: Descriptor field holding the declared evidence, "" when the descriptor has no field for the facet. claim_scope: Claim scope a receipt must state, "" when unconstrained.

  • subjects()
  • Every subject kind whose change invalidates the facet.

Class Subject

One content-addressed input of a facet receipt.

Parameters

kind: Subject kind from :data:SUBJECT_KINDS. path: Repository-relative path (a file, or a directory for tree scope). sha256: Digest of the subject at recording time. scope: file (whole file), contract-sections (the descriptor sections that fix the model contract, so documentation edits do not invalidate evidence) or tree (every .py file under a directory).

  • to_payload()
  • Return the JSON projection.

Class FacetReceipt

One immutable record of an executed evidence command.

Every field is a recorded fact of the run; none is derived by the verifier.

  • to_payload()
  • Return the JSON payload, with the seal digest when sealed.
  • sealed()
  • Return a copy whose receipt_sha256 seals the current content.
  • subject_kinds()
  • Return the subject kinds the receipt carries.

Function facets_invalidated_by(kind)

Return the facets whose receipts a change of kind invalidates.

Function seal_digest(unsealed_payload)

Return the seal digest of a receipt payload without receipt_sha256.

Function parse_receipt(payload)

Validate a receipt payload and return a :class:FacetReceipt.

Structural validation only: the seal, the outcome and the subject freshness are judged by :func:credit_problems and the verifier.

Raises

FacetReceiptError If a required field is missing or malformed.

Function load_receipt(path)

Load and structurally validate one receipt file.

Function credit_problems(receipt)

Return why a receipt cannot credit its facet; empty when it can.

Freshness of the subjects is not judged here (it needs the repository); see :func:sc_neurocore.neurons.readiness.verify_receipt.

Parameters

receipt: The receipt to judge. class_name: When given, the class the receipt is being read for; a receipt for a different class is a wrong-subject receipt.

Function receipt_filename(class_name, facet, recorded_at)

Return the canonical receipt file name for one run.

Function iter_receipts(directory)

Yield every receipt file in directory in file-name order.

Raises

FacetReceiptError If any receipt file is malformed; a broken receipt is an error, not a silently ignored file.

Function latest_receipts(directory)

Return the newest receipt per (class_name, facet, profile).

Newest is decided by recorded_at and then by file name, so an append-only successor always supersedes its predecessor.

Function descriptor_contract_digest(payload)

Return the digest of the descriptor sections that fix the model contract.

Identity, state, parameters, integration, dynamics and scientific acceptance criteria take part. A documentation or evidence-pointer edit alone does not change this digest; evidence selection is independently checked on use.

Function descriptor_contract_digest_of(path)

Return :func:descriptor_contract_digest of a descriptor TOML file.


Module neurons.fixed_point_lif

Class FixedPointLIFNeuron

Bit-true fixed-point model of the Verilog sc_lif_neuron.

Class FixedPointBitstreamEncoder

Bit-true model of sc_bitstream_encoder.v.

Combines LFSR + comparator to produce a stochastic bitstream where P(bit=1) ~ x_value / (2^DATA_WIDTH - 1).

Example

enc = FixedPointBitstreamEncoder(seed_init=0xACE1) bits = [enc.step(x_value=128) for _ in range(100)] all(b in (0, 1) for b in bits) True

  • post_init()
  • step(x_value)
  • Return 1 if LFSR < x_value, else 0 (one clock cycle).

Module neurons.homeostatic_lif

Class HomeostaticLIFNeuron

Returns

pathlib.Path Absolute path under neurons/model_descriptors.

Raises

ValueError If class_name is empty, private, dotted, path-like or unregistered.

Function load_descriptor_payload(class_name)

Return the raw committed descriptor payload.

Parameters

class_name: Public Python class identifier for the model descriptor.

Returns

dict[str, Any] | None Parsed TOML payload when the descriptor is committed, otherwise None.

Module neurons.model_descriptor

Class ParameterSpec

A single model parameter with its physical semantics.

Parameters

name: Parameter identifier matching the model's constructor field. default: Default numeric value. unit: Physical unit (for example mV, ms, pA); empty when uncurated. value_range: Optional (min, max) admissible range. biological_range: Optional (min, max) biologically plausible range. meaning: Human-readable description; empty when uncurated.

  • is_curated()
  • True when the parameter has a unit, a range, and a meaning.

Class StateVariableSpec

A model state variable with its initial value and semantics.

init is None for a variable whose initial value is not a single number — a compartment vector, a population activity profile, a filter buffer. Such a variable is state like any other and must be declared; what it does not have is a scalar to declare as its start. Writing 0.0 there would state something about the model that is not true, so the declaration omits the value instead of inventing one.

Class Provenance

Citation and licensing provenance for a model.

  • is_citeable()
  • True when authors, a year, and a valid DOI are all present.

Class BackendSupport

Implementation status and numeric parity for one compute backend.

Class Reproducibility

Reference-run reproducibility anchors for a model.

golden_trace_sha256_variants is a finite allowlist for measured byte-level variants of the same numerically bounded trace, such as NumPy transcendental kernels selected by different x86 SIMD capabilities. The primary digest remains mandatory for a reproducible descriptor.

  • is_reproducible()
  • True when a reference config and a golden trace digest are present.
  • golden_trace_digests()
  • Return the primary digest followed by measured compatible variants.

Class Validation

Class-correct validation evidence for a model's dynamics.

Records the outcome of two checks (§3-§4 of the catalogue-to-silicon master plan): whether the model's discretised dynamics were confirmed faithful to the publication (dynamics_faithful — the three-way schema/class/paper agreement), and by which metric the model was validated for its class, with committed evidence. Every field is a recorded outcome, never derived, so the science tier can read them as ground truth.

Parameters

dynamics_faithful: True when the schema-DSL equations, parameters, dt, threshold, and reset were confirmed to match the publication (and the hand class where one exists). Gates the faithful-dynamics tier S4. metric: The class-appropriate validation metric from :data:VALIDATION_METRICS ("none" until validated). operating_point: Human-readable statement of the operating point the validation used (for example an input drive or a parameter regime). tolerance: The honest agreement tolerance achieved (for example "0 spikes" or a distributional distance), as a citeable string. evidence: A path, citation, or digest pointing at the committed validation evidence. Together with a non-"none" metric this gates the validated tier S5.

  • is_class_validated()
  • True when a non-trivial metric and committed evidence are both present.

Class Silicon

Ladder of committed silicon-realisation evidence for a model.

Each rung of the silicon axis (H0-H5) is only credited when its evidence anchor is recorded, so a silicon tier can never be claimed ahead of proof (master plan invariant I7). compiles is the H0 anchor (iverilog-valid RTL); each higher boolean requires its companion report to count.

Parameters

compiles: RTL lowers to iverilog-valid Verilog (compile-clean). The H0 anchor. cosim_validated: Python<->Verilog agreement by the class-correct metric was demonstrated; credited for H1 only alongside cosim_evidence. synthesised: Passes a real synthesis flow (for example Yosys); credited for H2 only alongside synth_report. timing_closed: Meets a stated clock on a target device with reported resources; credited for H3 only alongside timing_report and clock_mhz. formally_equivalent: Machine-checked Python-semantics<->RTL equivalence in CI; credited for H4 only alongside equivalence_proof. ppa_signed: Tool-level RTL->GDSII signoff (open PDK) with clean DRC/LVS/STA; credited for H5 only alongside ppa_report. cosim_evidence, synth_report, timing_report, equivalence_proof, ppa_report: Paths, citations, or digests pointing at the committed proof for each rung. target_device: The device the timing/resource numbers were characterised on. clock_mhz: The clock the design closes at (MHz); required for the H3 credit. target_tier: The terminal H-tier this model's deployability class is expected to reach, from :data:SILICON_TARGET_TIERS ("" until declared). terminal_reason: Why the model terminates at target_tier (for example a research multicompartment model that need not reach signed PPA).

Class ModelDescriptor

The full declarative descriptor for one neuron model.

Class ModelDescriptorError

Raised when a descriptor payload violates the schema contract.

Function descriptor_completeness_tier(descriptor)

Return the science-axis completeness kernel (0-3) a descriptor satisfies.

This is the S0-S3 base of the science axis — the discovery-and-curation tiers that need no execution evidence. The full science axis (adding the faithful-dynamics tier S4 and the class-validated tier S5) and the silicon axis (H0-H5) are derived from this kernel plus the descriptor's evidence facets by :mod:sc_neurocore.neurons.descriptor_tiers.

Tier 0 — exists and identifies a real model (class, module, params, state). Tier 1 — discovery taxonomy declared (family and category). Behaviour tags are an optional measured facet, not a tier requirement, so a tier never depends on running a simulation. Tier 2 — scientifically curated: citeable provenance (authors + year + DOI) and every parameter curated (unit + range + meaning). Tier 3 — engineering-verified: at least two implemented backends and a reproducibility anchor (reference config + golden trace digest).

Function parse_model_descriptor(payload)

Validate a descriptor payload and return a :class:ModelDescriptor.

Parameters

payload: A loaded descriptor mapping (from TOML/JSON), using the v2 section layout: metadata, provenance, state, parameters, integration, dynamics, backends, reproducibility, documentation.

Returns

ModelDescriptor The validated descriptor.

Raises

ModelDescriptorError If any required identifier is missing or a controlled-vocabulary field carries an unknown value.

Class ModelIdentity

Canonical identity record of one catalogue class.

Parameters

class_name: Public Python class name. module: Module stem under neurons/models (or the alias re-export module). kind: Identity kind; see the module docstring. counts_in_source_catalogue: True only for source-literature and project-original. family, category: Curated taxonomy family and category slug (empty for aliases). canonical_class: The identity an alias resolves to; the class itself otherwise. aliases: Historical import names resolving to this identity. schema_profiles: Schema-DSL profiles bound to this identity. source: Source locator. public_status: Row status on the public fidelity page. public_label: Row label on the public fidelity page, empty when unlisted. revalidation: For strict-promoted identities: whether the promotion is bound to an independent source receipt that this package ships and that names the model; a descriptor path to an absent receipt binds nothing. missing_gates: Evidence gates the descriptor does not yet claim.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-compatible projection of the record.

Class NetworkIdentity

A network-level identity that is distinct from any cell component.

Parameters

class_name: Public network class name. module: Dotted module path of the class. kind: Identity kind (sc-compatibility for retained project networks). cell_identity: The neuron identity the network is built from.

Class CatalogueCounts

Every catalogue number derived from the identity registry.

Parameters

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the counts as a plain mapping.

Function identity_registry()

Return the canonical identity record for every registered class and alias.

Returns

dict[str, ModelIdentity] Class name (including aliases) to identity record, sorted by name.

Raises

ModelIdentityError If any join is ambiguous or names an unknown class.

Function resolve_identity(class_name)

Return the canonical identity for a class or alias name.

Parameters

class_name: Registered class name or historical alias.

Returns

ModelIdentity The record of the canonical identity the name resolves to.

Raises

ModelIdentityError If the name is neither registered nor an alias.

Function iter_source_catalogue()

Yield identities that count in the public source catalogue.

Function schema_for_class(class_name)

Return the schema-DSL profile Studio and the generators use for a class.

Two registered classes may share one module (a source identity and its retained SC compatibility identity), so a module-based lookup would hand the compatibility class the source profile. The class's own bound profiles decide: the module's canonical schema when the class owns it, otherwise the class's first bound profile; a class without a bound profile falls back to the module lookup so unbound models keep their historical behaviour.

Parameters

class_name: Registered class name or import alias.

Returns

str Schema stem.

Function public_fidelity_bindings()

Return the public page label and status bound to each listed class.

Returns

dict[str, tuple[str, PublicStatus]] Class name to (row label, status).

Raises

ProfileAdmissionError If the schema itself is contradictory, is a descriptive record, or the override leaves the profile's family, contradicts its timebase, changes the step of a recurrence without a timebase, or seeds a deterministic model.

Function parse_profile(payload)

Rebuild a :class:ModelProfile from its public projection.

Parameters

payload: A mapping produced by :meth:ModelProfile.to_public_dict.

Module neurons.models.adaptive_threshold_if

Class AdaptiveThresholdIFNeuron

Composite reduced adaptive-threshold leaky integrate-and-fire neuron.

The membrane equation is the leaky integrate-and-fire relaxation

tau_m * dV/dt = -(V - v_rest) + I,

integrated with the exact constant-input flow over one dt interval. The threshold equation is

dtheta/dt = -(theta - theta_rest) / tau_theta,

which is the Mihalas and Niebur (2009) threshold equation dTheta/dt = a(V - E_L) - b(Theta - Theta_inf) taken at zero voltage coupling (a = 0), integrated with the same exact relaxation. A spike is emitted when the candidate membrane potential reaches the candidate threshold; the membrane potential then resets to v_reset and the threshold increases by the fixed amount delta_theta — the fixed post-spike threshold shift derived in Platkiewicz and Brette (2010).

Reduction boundary: the Mihalas–Niebur voltage-coupling term a(V - E_L) and the Platkiewicz–Brette voltage-dependent threshold equilibrium theta_inf(V) are outside this reduced model, as is any adaptation current. Defaults are catalogue/model-family choices, not source-derived parameters.

Module neurons.models.alpha

Class AlphaNeuron

Dual excitatory/inhibitory alpha-synapse leaky integrate-and-fire neuron.

The membrane equation is the leaky integrate-and-fire relaxation

tau_v * dV/dt = -(V - v_rest) + i_exc - i_inh,

and each synaptic current is carried by a two-state alpha cascade (rise a, current i) that reproduces Rall's alpha kernel alpha(t) ~ (t/tau) * exp(1 - t/tau) for a pulse input. A spike is emitted when the candidate membrane potential reaches v_threshold; only the membrane potential resets (v <- v_rest); the synaptic cascade states are preserved across spikes.

The maintained numerical step is the exact piecewise-constant-input flow: each alpha filter relaxes exactly, and the membrane update integrates the alpha currents with the exact convolution, including the equal-time-constant limit. This exact flow is the engineering contract, not a biological publication claim.

Defaults tau_v=20, tau_exc=5, tau_inh=10, v_rest=0, v_threshold=1, and dt=1.0 are catalogue/model-family choices, not source-derived parameters.

Module neurons.models.amari_field

Class AmariNeuralField

Discretize Amari's homogeneous single-layer field on a periodic ring.

The maintained equation is Amari (1977), Eq. (3), with the paper's source-level Heaviside output and a declared difference-of-exponentials lateral-inhibition kernel. current supplies the combined homogeneous level h and deviational input s(x,t). A scalar drive is broadcast; a vector drive must contain exactly n finite samples.

One call performs a simultaneous explicit-Euler update and returns the mean pulse-emission rate (active-site fraction). This is a continuous population-rate model; the returned value is not a spike event.

Parameters

n: Number of uniformly spaced sites on the periodic ring; at least two. tau: Positive field time constant. a_exc, a_width: Non-negative local-excitation amplitude and positive inverse width. b_inh, b_width: Non-negative distal-inhibition amplitude and positive inverse width. dx, dt: Positive spatial and temporal discretization steps. u: Optional finite initial field state of shape (n,).

Raises

ValueError If configuration, input, or a candidate state is invalid. Failed updates leave u unchanged.

Reference: Brunel, N. & Wang, X.J. (2001). Effects of neuromodulation in a cortical network model of object working memory dominated by recurrent inhibition. J Comput Neurosci 11:63-85.

This is the excitatory-cell specialization from Methods 2.2--2.3. The four values supplied to :meth:step are already-summed channel gating variables, not spike counts and not internally integrated synapses. One public step holds those gates constant and applies explicit midpoint RK2, matching the paper's stated second-order integration class at 0.1 ms.

Attributes

ref_remaining : float Absolute refractory time remaining, in milliseconds. This is dynamic state rather than a construction parameter: it starts at zero, is set to tau_ref by a threshold crossing, and decays by dt per step while positive. The name is the one the committed descriptor declares in its &#91;state&#93; table and the one :meth:get_state returns, so a run observes it directly on the instance. A private spelling would make it declared state that no run can record.

Notes

The retained tau_* synaptic parameters document the source boundary and remain configurable metadata for network adapters. They do not imply that this single-cell object owns presynaptic channel states.

Module neurons.models.chay_keizer

Class ChayKeizerNeuron

Chay & Keizer 1983 pancreatic beta-cell minimal model (five-state burster).

The original five-dimensional model: membrane potential v, the Hodgkin-Huxley activation/inactivation gates m/h of the inward calcium current, the delayed-rectifier potassium activation n, and the free cytosolic calcium concentration ca (the slow variable that packages spikes into bursts). Calcium enters through the voltage-gated calcium channel during the active phase, gradually activating a calcium-dependent potassium conductance until it terminates the burst; calcium then decays through the silent phase until the next burst begins. With the published parameters the model produces square-wave bursts with a period of order ten to twenty seconds and a cytosolic calcium oscillation of order one micromolar.

The conductances follow the Hodgkin-Huxley convention written as g (E_rev - V) (inward positive). The gate rate functions are the Hodgkin-Huxley 1952 forms with the membrane potential shifted by v_prime for the calcium gates and v_star for the potassium gate, scaled by the temperature factor phi; calcium influx is the surface-to-volume scaled calcium current minus a first-order pump removal.

Module neurons.models.chay_keizer_minimal

Class ChayKeizerMinimalNeuron

Reduced three-state Chay-Keizer pancreatic beta-cell burster.

The essential bursting dynamics of the original five-state Chay-Keizer model reduced to three variables: membrane potential v, the delayed-rectifier potassium activation n, and the free cytosolic calcium c (the slow variable). The calcium-current activation is taken at its instantaneous steady state, so the fast spikes are generated by the v-n subsystem while calcium slowly accumulates through the active phase, activates a calcium-dependent potassium conductance, and terminates the burst; calcium is then pumped down through the silent phase. A constant ATP-sensitive potassium conductance sets the excitability (the glucose handle).

Currents follow the convention g (V - E_rev) (outward positive) in the physical units of the reference (picosiemens, femtofarads, femtoamperes, millivolts, micromolar, milliseconds). With the published parameters the cell bursts autonomously: fast spikes ride an active-phase plateau near -20 mV with a silent phase near -65 mV, while cytosolic calcium traces a slow sawtooth.

Brette et al. conductance-based integrate-and-fire benchmark cell.

C dV/dt = -g_L(V - E_L) - g_e(V - E_e) - g_i(V - E_i) + I dg_e/dt = -g_e / tau_e, dg_i/dt = -g_i / tau_i.

Boundary conductance increments are applied before integration. Outside refractory periods, the full (v, g_e, g_i) candidate is advanced with coupled RK4. After a spike the voltage remains at v_reset for the source's 5 ms refractory interval while both conductances continue their RK4 decay. Every update is candidate-first and mutation-atomic.

The continuous equations and factory defaults reproduce Benchmark 1 in Brette et al. (2007). RK4 is the maintained repository discretisation; the paper compared Euler, second-order Runge--Kutta, and spike-interpolated Euler implementations rather than prescribing RK4.

Module neurons.models.compte_wm

Class CompteWMNeuron

Compte et al. pyramidal LIF cell with incoming AMPA/NMDA/GABAA gates.

The class implements the excitatory-cell and channel equations from Compte et al., Cerebral Cortex 10(9), 910--923 (2000), DOI 10.1093/cercor/10.9.910. external_spike increments the external AMPA gate, the compatibility argument spike_in increments the recurrent NMDA precursor, and inhibitory_spike increments the GABAA gate. A postsynaptic output spike resets the membrane and starts the source 2 ms refractory interval; it does not create an inhibitory autapse.

Conductances use microSiemens, voltages millivolts, currents nanoamps, capacitance nanofarads, and time milliseconds. The default conductances are the paper's control-set pyramidal pathways: 3.1 nS external AMPA, 0.381 nS recurrent NMDA, and 1.336 nS interneuron-to-pyramidal GABAA. One public step applies event jumps, then an explicit midpoint RK2 flow at the source 0.02 ms timestep. Threshold detection is sampled at the end of the step; the paper's within-step firing-time interpolation is not claimed.

Attributes

ref_remaining : float Absolute refractory time remaining, in milliseconds. This is dynamic state rather than a construction parameter: it starts at zero, is set to tau_ref by a threshold crossing, and decays by dt per step while positive. The name is the one the committed descriptor declares in its &#91;state&#93; table and the one :meth:get_state returns, so a run observes it directly on the instance. A private spelling would make it declared state that no run can record.

Notes

This scalar reference model does not include the paper's 2,560-cell ring. The connectivity footprints, Poisson drive, tuned persistent bumps, distractor resistance, and network statistics are retained as the separately named SC-COMPTE-WM-NETWORK project modification, with their own evidence boundary.

Module neurons.models.de_schutter_purkinje

The production update is candidate-first RK4 over all seven states. Five internal substeps are retained to preserve the existing model time base, but the public step commits only after every substep candidate is finite. The historical explicit Euler path remains available through integrator="baseline_euler" for regression comparisons.

Module neurons.models.dpi_neuron

Class DPINeuron

Current-mode conductance-based DPI silicon neuron.

This class advances the coupled subthreshold equations derived for the differential-pair-integrator circuit by Indiveri, Stefanini, and Chicca (2010), Eqs. (2)--(3):

.. math::

I_{fb} = I_0^{1/(\kappa+1)} I_{mem}^{\kappa/(\kappa+1)} \left[1 + e^{-\alpha(I_{mem}-I_{th})}\right]^{-1}

.. math::

\tau \dot I_{mem} = \frac{I_{mem}}{I_\tau} \left(\frac{I_{rest}+I_{inj}}{1 + I_{mem}/I_g} - I_\tau + I_{fb} - I_{ahp}\right)

.. math::

\tau_{ahp} \dot I_{ahp} = \frac{I_{ahp}}{I_{\tau ahp}} \left(\frac{I_{spk} r(t)}{1 + I_{ahp}/I_{ga}} - I_{\tau ahp}\right).

r(t) is one for the programmable refractory pulse and zero otherwise. The paper identifies the circuit paths that generate spikes, reset the membrane, impose refractoriness, and drive adaptation. This maintained digital realisation adds dimensionless factory parameters, i_rest as a constant component of I_in, simultaneous explicit-Euler integration, post-step level detection, and a subsequent-step pulse that holds i_mem at i_reset. Those numerical choices are not values or a discrete recurrence printed by the paper.

Module neurons.models.durstewitz_dopamine

Class DurstewitzDopamineNeuron

Durstewitz, Seamans & Sejnowski 2000 — PFC neuron with D1 modulation.

A minimal Hodgkin-Huxley prefrontal pyramidal cell with fast Na⁺ (instantaneous activation m_∞, dynamic inactivation h_na), a delayed-rectifier K⁺ (n_k), an NMDA current with the Jahr & Stevens (1990) Mg²⁺ block, and an ohmic leak — the three-state (V, h_na, n_k) system. D1 agonism (d1_level in &#91;0, 1&#93;) enhances NMDA (g_nmda_scale), shifts the Na⁺ half-activation (v_shift_na), and enhances K⁺ (g_k_scale), stabilising persistent up-states.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the three-state system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which advanced the gates from the old voltage and then the voltage from the freshly updated gates, mixing two inconsistent states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option, which now evaluates a single consistent right-hand side.

Module neurons.models.ermentrout_kopell_pop

Class ErmentroutKopellPopulation

Represent the exact macroscopic QIF firing-rate equations.

The public class name is retained for compatibility. Its dynamics are equations (12a–b) of Montbrió, Pazó, and Roxin (2015), not the single-cell Ermentrout–Kopell theta model. tau restores an explicit membrane time scale to the dimensionless source equations, so the maintained flow is

dr/dt = delta/(pi*tau**2) + 2*r*v/tau

dv/dt = (v**2 + eta_bar + I + j*tau*r - (pi*tau*r)**2)/tau.

One call to :meth:step applies a simultaneous explicit-Euler update. That solver is an implementation contract; the publication specifies the continuous ordinary differential equations.

Parameters

r : float, default=0.1 Initial population firing rate. It must be non-negative. v : float, default=-2.0 Initial mean membrane potential. tau : float, default=1.0 Positive membrane time scale. delta : float, default=1.0 Non-negative half-width of the Lorentzian excitability distribution. eta_bar : float, default=-5.0 Centre of the excitability distribution. j : float, default=15.0 Recurrent coupling strength. dt : float, default=0.01 Positive explicit-Euler step.

Module neurons.models.expif

Class ExpIFNeuron

Profile-explicit Fourcaud-Trocmé exponential integrate-and-fire neuron.

The deterministic voltage flow is

tau * dv/dt = -(v - v_rest) + delta_t * exp((v - v_rh) / delta_t) + current.

v_rh is the soft threshold of the exponential current; v_threshold is the finite numerical cutoff at which a spike is emitted and v resets. Runge-Kutta stages are bounded at that event surface, so stages that overshoot the cutoff cannot evaluate an irrelevant divergent voltage. refractory_period=1.7 reproduces the refractory duration used for the paper's fitted Wang-Buzsáki comparison; the zero default is the deterministic schema-to-RTL contract.

Parameters

v: Initial membrane voltage in millivolts. v_rest: Leak reversal voltage in millivolts. v_reset: Post-spike reset voltage in millivolts. v_threshold: Finite numerical spike cutoff in millivolts. v_rh: Soft exponential threshold in millivolts. delta_t: Positive exponential slope factor in millivolts. tau: Positive membrane time constant in milliseconds. dt: Positive integration timestep in milliseconds. refractory_period: Non-negative post-spike hold duration in milliseconds. refractory_remaining: Non-negative runtime remainder of the refractory hold. profile: "fourcaud_trocme_2003" selects the deterministic source specialization; "sc_rk4" retains the historical SC recurrence.

Golomb et al. 2007 — fast-spiking cortical interneuron with a Kv3 current.

The membrane potential follows

C dV/dt = -I_Na - I_Kd - I_Kv3 - I_L + I_ext

with transient sodium I_Na = g_Na m_inf^3 h (V - E_Na) (instantaneous activation), delayed-rectifier I_Kd = g_Kd n^4 (V - E_K), the fast high-threshold I_Kv3 = g_Kv3 p^2 (V - E_K) that sharpens spikes and sustains high-frequency firing, and an ohmic leak. All gating variables relax through sigmoidal steady states, so the right-hand side has no removable singularities.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the four-state (V, h, n, p) system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which staggered the gate and membrane increments against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

Must be positive and finite. v_threshold: Upward voltage-crossing spike threshold.

Raises

ValueError If the initial parameters violate the finite-state, conductance, gate, or timestep contract.

Notes

The historical SC-NeuroCore surface uses an implicit unit membrane capacitance for this reduced model. Spike output is an event marker from the threshold crossing; voltage is not reset by this model.

Module neurons.models.hay_l5

Class HayL5PyramidalNeuron

Reduced Layer 5 thick-tufted pyramidal-cell model after Hay et al. 2011.

The maintained production surface is a compact three-compartment reduction with soma, apical trunk, and apical tuft voltages plus six gates/calcium state variables. It preserves the public dual-input API step(current_soma, current_tuft=0.0) while moving the default numerical path to candidate-first RK4. The historical explicit Euler path remains available through integrator="baseline_euler" for regression and benchmark comparisons.

Module neurons.models.hill_tononi

Class HillTononiNeuron

Hill and Tononi's hybrid integrate-and-fire neuron.

The continuous state is (V, theta, D, m_h, m_T, h_T). A spike sets both V and the dynamic threshold theta to E_Na and enables a brief potassium repolarisation pulse. D is the generic depolarisation measure used by I_DK; the paper explicitly does not integrate intracellular sodium or calcium concentration.

Defaults select the paper's cortical-excitatory waking profile. Sodium and potassium leaks, I_NaP, and I_DK are active. I_h and I_T remain available with zero default conductance because the source assigns them only to specific intrinsically bursting or thalamic cell types. The recurrence uses source step dt=0.25 ms and classical RK4. Synaptic conductance dynamics, minis, and the full network are outside this single-cell catalogue model.

Module neurons.models.iqif

Wu et al. (2021) piecewise-linear integer QIF soma.

Parameters

v : int, default=128 Live integer membrane state. v_rest : int, default=128 Resting state and state restored by :meth:reset. v_threshold : int, default=200 Upper piecewise-force reference, not the spike threshold. v_reset : int, default=128 State committed after a candidate exceeds v_max. a, b : int, default=1 Non-negative Q0.3 numerator coefficients. The recurrence applies (coefficient * difference) >> 3. v_max, v_min : int, default=255, 0 Strict upper event boundary and inclusive lower state clamp.

Notes

The branch point is trunc((b*v_threshold + a*v_rest)/(a+b)). One step computes the source force from the pre-step state, applies the Q0.3 arithmetic shift and current, emits when the candidate is strictly greater than v_max, then hard-resets to v_reset. Otherwise the candidate is clamped only at v_min.

Module neurons.models.jansen_rit

Class JansenRitUnit

Represent one Jansen–Rit cortical-column neural mass.

The six first-order states implement equation (6) from Jansen and Rit (1995). e0 is half the maximum firing rate because :meth:_sigmoid returns 2 * e0 / (1 + exp(r * (v0 - v))). The default explicit-Euler step is 0.1 ms, matching the pinned Brian2 implementation used for the source-bound trace; the continuous equations do not prescribe a solver.

Parameters

y0, y3, y1, y4, y2, y5 : float, default=0.0 Initial postsynaptic-potential states and their first derivatives. a_exc, b_exc : float Excitatory and inhibitory synaptic gains A and B in mV. a_rate, b_rate : float Excitatory and inhibitory inverse time constants in s⁻¹. c : float Base connectivity C1. Derived couplings are C2=0.8*C1 and C3=C4=0.25*C1. e0, v0, r : float Sigmoid half-maximum rate, midpoint, and slope. dt : float, default=0.0001 Explicit-Euler step in seconds.

Module neurons.models.lapicque

Class LapicqueNeuron

Lapicque 1907 polarization threshold with an explicit SC LIF profile.

For the source profile, with source voltage V, series resistance R, membrane/polarization resistance rho, capacitance K, and polarization v, Lapicque derives

K dv/dt = (V - v) / R - v / rho.

A constant-voltage pulse has the exact flow

v(t+h) = v_inf + (v(t)-v_inf) exp(-h/beta),

where v_inf = V*rho/(R+rho) and beta = K*R*rho/(R+rho). The first threshold attainment emits one latched excitation. There is no source-defined automatic reset.

LapicqueNeuron() preserves the historical SC exact-flow LIF recurrence tau*dv/dt = -(v-v_rest) + resistance*current with hard reset. LapicqueNeuron.lapicque_1907() constructs the count-bearing source profile. Its normalized defaults preserve the paper's R > rho regime and beta=1 ms; they are maintained reproducibility choices rather than claimed experimental constants.

Module neurons.models.larter_breakspear

Class LarterBreakspearNeuron

Three-state Larter-Breakspear cortical neural mass.

The transition follows the excitatory-voltage, potassium-channel, and inhibitory-voltage equations of Breakspear, Terry, and Friston (2003). coupling is the external excitatory firing-rate term denoted by the population-average :math:Q_V in the source model. The default parameters are the maintained Larter-Breakspear profile used by The Virtual Brain.

A fixed-step classical RK4 grid is an implementation specialisation. The equations are continuous, produce continuous population activity, and do not define a spike/reset event.

Liu-Golowasch-Marder-Abbott 1998 stomatogastric ganglion neuron.

Single-compartment crustacean STG model with seven voltage-gated currents (Na, CaT, CaS, A, KCa, Kd, H) plus a leak, in the Prinz/LGMA unit convention (conductances in mS/cm², capacitance in µF/cm², calcium in µM, voltage in mV, time in ms). All gates use the published voltage-dependent steady states and time constants; the calcium reversal is computed from the Nernst equation, and intracellular calcium relaxes towards rest with a 20 ms time constant driven by the two calcium currents. The thirteen-state vector is integrated with classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta.

Parameters

v : float Membrane potential (mV). m_na, h_na, m_cat, h_cat, m_cas, h_cas, m_a, h_a, m_kca, m_kd, m_h : float Gating variables in [0, 1]. ca : float Intracellular calcium concentration (µM, ≥ 0). cm : float Specific membrane capacitance (µF/cm²). g_na, g_cat, g_cas, g_a, g_kca, g_kd, g_h, g_l : float Maximal conductances (mS/cm²). e_na, e_k, e_h, e_l : float Reversal potentials (mV). The calcium reversal is Nernst-derived. ca_out : float Extracellular calcium concentration (µM) for the Nernst equation. ca_rest : float Resting calcium concentration (µM). tau_ca : float Calcium relaxation time constant (ms). f_ca : float Calcium-current-to-concentration coupling (µM·cm²/µA). celsius : float Temperature (°C) for the Nernst equation. dt : float Integration time step (ms). v_threshold : float Voltage at which a spike is registered (mV).

Module neurons.models.martinotti_neuron

Class MartinottiNeuron

Martinotti cell — adapting interneuron targeting layer 1 apical dendrites.

Pospischil 2008 gating with fast Na⁺, delayed-rectifier K⁺, a very strong M-current (Kv7) that gives the pronounced spike-frequency adaptation characteristic of the type, a low-threshold T-type Ca²⁺ current for rebound, and an ohmic leak — the six-state (V, m, h, n, p, s) system (T-type activation m_T is instantaneous; unlike the SST cell there is no Ih).

The sodium and potassium activation rates follow the Traub-Miles x/(exp(±x/k)-1) form and use the L'Hôpital limit at the removable singularity. The β_m numerator is the published V - V_T - 40 offset; an earlier revision shared the -17 offset of α_h, which lowered β_m enough to drive the cell into depolarisation block (it fired two or three spikes then stuck near threshold for any stimulus). The corrected kinetics restore a monotone frequency-current relation.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the six-state system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which staggered the gate and membrane increments against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

McCulloch and Pitts' 1943 all-or-none logical neuron.

Parameters

theta : int, default=1 Positive number of simultaneously active excitatory afferents required to excite the neuron when no inhibitory afferent is active.

Notes

:meth:step maps afferent activity at one network instant to activity one synaptic delay later. The delay belongs to the network scheduler; the formal neuron has no evolving membrane state. Any active inhibitory afferent is an absolute veto, independent of the excitatory count.

Module neurons.models.multicompartment_mcn

Class MulticompartmentMCNNeuron

Multi-compartment neuron (Spiking-WM, PNAS 2025).

The production update is candidate-first RK4 over the three coupled state variables (u, v_basal, v_apical). Basal, apical, and somatic drives are held constant across each RK4 stage; the stage apical voltage gates the stage basal-to-soma coupling, so all derivatives are evaluated from one consistent state. The historical explicit Euler path remains available only through integrator="baseline_euler" for regression comparisons.

Parameters

tau : float Soma time constant. Default: 2.0. tau_b : float Basal dendrite time constant. Default: 2.0. tau_a : float Apical dendrite time constant. Default: 2.0. g_ratio : float Basal-to-soma conductance ratio (g_B/g_L). Default: 1.0. beta : float Sigmoid steepness for apical gating. Default: 1.0. v_th : float Spike threshold. Default: 1.0. dt : float Integration timestep. Default: 1.0. integrator : {"rk4", "baseline_euler"} Numerical integration path. Default: "rk4".

Parameters

Module neurons.models.neurogrid

Class NeuroGridNeuron

Boahen-style reduced Neurogrid two-compartment analog neuron.

The model couples a passive dendritic integrator to an EIF-like soma. The production path uses candidate-first RK4 for the continuous two-state flow and applies the discrete Neurogrid spike/reset rule once to the accepted public-step candidate. The historical dendrite-first explicit Euler update remains available through integrator="baseline_euler" for regression comparisons.

Module neurons.models.nlif

Class NonlinearLIFNeuron

Quadratic nonlinear LIF neuron with slow adaptation.

The membrane follows

c_m dV/dt = a(V - v_rest)(V - v_crit) - w + I

and the adaptation current follows

tau_w dw/dt = b(V - v_rest) - w.

The parameter validation is intentionally fail-closed: invalid geometry, non-finite state, or unstable integration constants are rejected before any state mutation can occur.

  • reset()
  • Restore dynamic state without changing model parameters.

Module neurons.models.nmda_neuron

Class NMDANeuron

Wang (1999) pyramidal LIF neuron with an NMDA autapse.

The scalar model combines Wang's equations (1), (2), (4), and (5): a pyramidal leaky integrate-and-fire membrane, optional calcium-activated potassium adaptation, and the two-stage saturating NMDA gate. The recurrent gate receives the neuron's own emitted events, matching the NMDA-only autapse experiment in Figure 3. current is the paper's applied current I_app in nA.

The source used second-order Runge--Kutta integration at 0.02--0.05 ms and interpolated spike times. This deterministic scalar specialization uses midpoint RK2 at 0.05 ms and sampled upward threshold detection.

Module neurons.models.non_resetting_lif

Class NonResettingLIFNeuron

Source-faithful one-timescale MAT(1) non-resetting LIF neuron.

The membrane follows equation 1 of Kobayashi, Tsubo, and Shinomoto (2009). theta stores the single exponentially decaying spike-history contribution from equations 2-3; the instantaneous threshold is omega + theta. A spike raises that history and starts the paper's 2 ms absolute refractory interval, but never resets v.

The paper identifies 50 ms as the optimal MAT(1) threshold timescale but fits threshold amplitude and baseline per neuron. The defaults therefore form a documented numerical specialization, not a universal cell fit.

Module neurons.models.perfect_integrator

Class PerfectIntegratorNeuron

Perfect integrator with source and preserved SC threshold profiles.

The source profile implements Naud and Gerstner's equations dV/dt = I(t)/C and V > V_T -> V_r. The exact held-current update is V(t+h) = V(t) + I*h/C. PerfectIntegratorNeuron() preserves the historical inclusive SC comparator; use :meth:naud_gerstner_2012 for the count-bearing source profile.

The normalized defaults are maintained reproducibility choices, not experimental measurements reported by the source.

Eight states are integrated with a fixed-step fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme; the somatic sodium activation m is taken at its instantaneous steady state m∞.

The voltages use the physiological convention (rest ≈ −60 mV); reversal potentials and gating rates equal the original rest=0 mV formulation shifted by −60 mV. Parameters and kinetics follow the published model and the ModelDB 35358 reference channels.

Parameters

v_s, v_d : float Somatic and dendritic membrane potential (mV). h, n, s, c, q : float Gating variables in [0, 1]: Na⁺ inactivation h, delayed-rectifier activation n, Ca²⁺ activation s, voltage/Ca-dependent K⁺ activation c, and Ca-dependent afterhyperpolarisation q. ca : float Dimensionless dendritic calcium concentration (≥ 0). cm : float Membrane capacitance (µF/cm²); default 3.0 per Pinsky & Rinzel (1994). gc : float Soma-dendrite coupling conductance (mS/cm²). p : float Somatic membrane-area fraction in (0, 1). g_na, g_kdr, g_ca, g_kahp, g_kc, g_l : float Maximal conductances (mS/cm²) for the Na⁺, K-DR, Ca²⁺, K-AHP, K-C, and leak currents. e_na, e_k, e_ca, e_l : float Reversal potentials (mV). dt : float Integration time step (ms). v_threshold : float Somatic voltage at which a spike is registered (mV).

Module neurons.models.poisson

Class PoissonNeuron

Generate homogeneous Poisson events in discrete binary time bins.

Parameters

rate_hz : float, default=100.0 Non-negative homogeneous event rate in hertz. dt_ms : float, default=1.0 Positive bin width in milliseconds. Multiple arrivals within one bin collapse to one event. seed : int or None, default=0xACE1 Replay seed for the canonical 16-bit LFSR. None draws one concrete non-zero seed from system entropy and retains it for subsequent resets.

Notes

Each accepted bin uses the exact finite-interval event probability 1 - exp(-rate_hz * dt_ms / 1000) and advances the shared LFSR16 by exactly one trial (eight primitive shifts). The generator therefore models a binary-bin observation of a homogeneous Poisson process, not an unbounded within-bin arrival count.

Module neurons.models.pospischil

Class PospischilNeuron

Pospischil et al. 2008 — minimal Hodgkin-Huxley cortical/thalamic neuron.

The membrane potential follows

C dV/dt = -I_Na - I_Kd - I_M - I_L + I_ext

with transient sodium I_Na = g_Na m^3 h (V - E_Na), delayed-rectifier potassium I_Kd = g_Kd n^4 (V - E_K), the slow voltage-gated potassium adaptation current I_M = g_M p (V - E_K), and an ohmic leak. The Traub-Miles activation kinetics are written against the shifted potential V - V_T and the M current uses the Yamada p_inf/tau_p relaxation. The slow I_M conductance selects the firing class: g_M = 0.07 regular spiking (default), g_M = 0 fast spiking, g_M = 0.03 intrinsically bursting.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the five-state (V, m, h, n, p) system: every sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once it is finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which evaluated the gates and the membrane against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" option for regression comparison.

Class ParallelSpikingNeuron

k-order sliding Parallel Spiking Neuron — Fang et al. (2023).

Streaming form of the PSN family (paper Eqs. 14–15):

H[t] = sum_{i=0}^{k-1} W_i * X[t-k+1+i], with X[j] = 0 for j < 0 S[t] = Theta(H[t] - v_threshold)

weights&#91;i&#93; is W_i, so weights&#91;k-1&#93; multiplies the newest input X[t] and weights&#91;0&#93; the oldest retained input X[t-k+1]; the sum is accumulated sequentially from i = 0 to k-1 so every backend reproduces the same binary64 result bit-for-bit. The right-continuous Theta(0) = 1 convention follows the paper. No PSN variant has a reset: firing never clears the input history, and :meth:reset only re-zeroes the retained inputs. The paper trains W and v_threshold per task and publishes no universal default; the uniform W_i = 1/k, v_threshold = 1.0 and kernel_size = 8 defaults are repository defaults.

Module neurons.models.pv_fast_spiking_neuron

Class PVFastSpikingNeuron

PV+ (parvalbumin) fast-spiking interneuron (Wang-Buzsáki 1996 + Kv3.1).

The membrane potential follows

C dV/dt = -I_Na - I_K - I_Kv3 - I_L + I_ext

with transient sodium I_Na = g_Na m_inf^3 h (V - E_Na) (instantaneous activation), delayed-rectifier I_K = g_K n^4 (V - E_K), the fast Kv3.1 current I_Kv3 = g_Kv3 p (V - E_K) that narrows the action potential and sustains >200 Hz firing without adaptation, and an ohmic leak. The h and n gates carry the Wang-Buzsáki temperature factor phi.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the four-state (V, h, n, p) system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which staggered the gate and membrane increments against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

Module neurons.models.resonate_and_fire

Class ResonateAndFireNeuron

Damped complex resonator from Izhikevich (2001).

The source defines z = x + i y and

dz/dt = (b + i * omega) * z + I.

x is current-like and y is voltage-like. A spike is emitted on an upward sampled crossing of y = threshold. The source post-spike reset is z = i; the generalized implementation therefore installs (x, y) = (0, threshold). The maintained numerical step is the exact constant-real-input flow over one dt interval.

Defaults b=-1, omega=10, and threshold=1 are the parameter set used for most illustrations in the source paper. dt=0.01 is an implementation sampling interval, not a parameter asserted by the paper.

SC exponential two-compartment LIF — preserved engine recurrence.

Historical production-engine model formerly published under the TwoCompartmentLIFNeuron name. It is structurally distinct from both the Zhang et al. (2024) TC-LIF and the SC leaky variant: per-step exponential decay factors, additive wholesale coupling of the freshly decayed dendrite into the soma, per-compartment external currents, and a HARD soma reset:

V_d[t] = exp(-dt/tau_d) * V_d[t-1] + I_dend[t] V_s[t] = exp(-dt/tau_s) * V_s[t-1] + I_soma[t] + kappa * V_d[t] Spike when V_s >= theta; V_s -> V_reset, V_d unchanged.

Count-neutral SC identity: it consumes no source-catalogue slot and makes no publication-exact claim. The production Rust engine keeps this recurrence verbatim as SCExponentialTwoCompartmentLIF, anchored to the pre-2026-08-27 built engine trajectories.

Module neurons.models.sc_four_state_glif

Class SCFourStateGLIFNeuron

Historical four-state GLIF project neuron.

The four dynamic states are advanced with candidate-first RK4. Spike reset is applied only after the finite candidate reaches the adaptive threshold. This count-neutral project recurrence has no whole-model paper attribution.

Module neurons.models.sc_leaky_tc_lif

Class SCLeakyTwoCompartmentLIFNeuron

SC leaky two-compartment LIF — preserved repository recurrence.

Historical repository model formerly published under the TwoCompartmentLIFNeuron name. It is structurally distinct from the Zhang et al. (2024) TC-LIF: both compartments leak toward v_rest, the soma couples one-way to the dendrite through kappa * (v_d - v_s), each compartment takes its own external current, and the soma HARD-resets to v_reset on threshold crossing while the dendrite is untouched.

Soma: tau_s dV_s/dt = -(V_s - V_rest) + kappa*(V_d - V_s) + I_soma Dendrite: tau_d dV_d/dt = -(V_d - V_rest) + I_dend Spike when V_s >= theta; V_s -> V_reset, V_d unchanged.

Count-neutral SC identity: it consumes no source-catalogue slot and makes no publication-exact claim. Finite-input trajectories are preserved bit-for-bit from the pre-2026-08-27 implementation.

  • step(i_soma, i_dend)
  • reset()

Module neurons.models.sc_non_resetting_adaptive_lif

Class SCNonResettingAdaptiveLIFNeuron

Retained SC exact-relaxation adaptive LIF with no voltage reset.

This is the historical project recurrence formerly exposed as NonResettingLIFNeuron. Both voltage and threshold use exact affine relaxation over one configured sample. A level event raises threshold by delta_theta; voltage is never reset and no refractory gate is applied.

The recurrence is project-defined and intentionally carries no external paper attribution. Use :class:NonResettingLIFNeuron for source MAT(1).

  • post_init()
  • Validate the complete project recurrence before first use.
  • step(current)

Class SCResettingMATNeuron

SC candidate-first RK4 adaptive-threshold neuron with voltage reset.

  • post_init()
  • Validate the numerical contract before the first integration step.
  • step(current)
  • Advance one SC resetting-MAT step and return 1 on a spike.
  • reset()
  • Restore voltage and adaptive thresholds to the SC resting state.

Module neurons.models.sc_resetting_psn

Class SCResettingParallelSpikingNeuron

SC resetting windowed neuron — preserved repository recurrence.

Historical repository model formerly published under the ParallelSpikingNeuron name. It is structurally distinct from the Fang et al. (2023) sliding PSN in two ways: the retained-input buffer is zeroed whenever the neuron fires (the PSN family has no reset), and a replaced kernel is dotted against circular buffer slots rather than time-ordered inputs, so for non-uniform kernels the weight-to-input pairing rotates with the write pointer. During warm-up the score divides by the full kernel_size, which for the default uniform kernel matches zero-padded pre-history.

score[t] = kernel[:n] . buffer[:n], n = min(t+1, kernel_size) spike when score >= v_threshold, then buffer[:] = 0.

Count-neutral SC identity: it consumes no source-catalogue slot and makes no publication-exact claim. Finite-input trajectories are preserved bit-for-bit from the pre-2026-08-27 implementation.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • reset()

Module neurons.models.sc_resetting_wilson_hr

Class SCResettingWilsonHRNeuron

Preserve the former unit-capacitance, hard-reset project recurrence.

This model is an SC-NeuroCore specialisation. It is not attributed to the continuous Wilson (1999) equations, which are implemented by :class:~sc_neurocore.neurons.models.wilson_hr.WilsonHRNeuron.

Class SCScaledResetAdaptiveIFNeuron

Historical four-state project recurrence with a scaled voltage reset.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • Advance the retained recurrence and return its level event.
  • simulate(n_steps, current, backend)
  • Advance the retained trajectory through one explicit runtime.
  • reset()
  • Restore the retained default state without changing parameters.

Module neurons.models.sc_sigma_delta_accumulator

Class SCSigmaDeltaAccumulatorNeuron

Retained bipolar accumulate/one-quantum-subtract recurrence.

This is exactly the historical project behavior formerly exposed as SigmaDeltaNeuron. It emits at most one signed event per sample and carries any remaining threshold excess forward. It is project-defined and intentionally carries no external paper attribution.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • Advance the frozen bipolar project recurrence by one sample.
  • reset()
  • Clear the accumulator while retaining its threshold.

Module neurons.models.sc_six_state_thalamocortical

Class SCSixStateThalamocorticalNeuron

Preserved SC six-state thalamocortical oscillator.

A conductance-based cell with fast Na⁺ (instantaneous m_∞, dynamic inactivation h_na), delayed-rectifier K⁺ (n_k), a hyperpolarisation- activated Ih (m_h), a low-threshold T-type Ca²⁺ current (instantaneous m_T, dynamic inactivation h_t), a sodium-dependent K⁺ current (I_KNa gated by intracellular na_i through a Hill function), and an ohmic leak — the six-state (V, h_na, n_k, m_h, h_t, na_i) system. The intracellular sodium accumulates from the sodium current and is removed by a saturating Na/K pump.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the six-state system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which advanced the gates from the old voltage and then the voltage and sodium from the freshly updated gates, mixing inconsistent states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

The sodium concentration is clamped to be non-negative once per committed step, matching the preserved SC recurrence. The conductance powers use explicit multiplication and the I_KNa Hill exponent 3.5 is evaluated as b·b·b·sqrt(b) (an IEEE-754 exact decomposition of b**3.5) so the Rust, Julia, Go, and Mojo kernels reproduce the trajectory bit-for-bit rather than depending on a per-platform pow implementation.

This recurrence is retained for compatibility with earlier SC-NeuroCore releases. It is deliberately not attributed to Hill and Tononi (2005), whose source model is a hybrid integrate-and-fire system with a dynamic threshold.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • Advance the neuron by one dt step and report a threshold crossing.
  • reset()
  • Restore the resting potential, gating defaults, and sodium baseline.

Module neurons.models.sc_stochastic_rate_adaptation

Module neurons.models.sc_three_state_phantom

Class SCThreeStatePhantomBurster

Retained project phantom recurrence with two slow variables.

C dV/dt = -(I_Ca + I_K + I_s1 + I_s2 + I_L) + I_ext ds1/dt = (s1_inf(V) - s1) / tau_s1 ds2/dt = (s2_inf(V) - s2) / tau_s2

Two slow variables (s1, s2) with different timescales produce bursting via a phantom slow manifold.

This count-neutral compatibility model preserves the former BertramPhantomBurster behavior. It is not the four-state Bertram et al. publication model and carries no paper attribution.

Module neurons.models.sc_triangular_mckean

Class SCTriangularMcKeanNeuron

Retained SC triangular piecewise-linear FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillator.

The model evolves the two-state ODE using candidate-first RK4 while preserving the three piecewise-linear voltage branches of McKean's analytically tractable Nagumo equation.

This project recurrence is not attributed to McKean's Heaviside system.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • simulate(n_steps, current, backend)

  • reset()

Module neurons.models.sc_unit_capacitance_respiratory

Class SCUnitCapacitanceRespiratoryNeuron

Retain the historical SC respiratory recurrence without paper attribution.

The legacy implementation omitted the Butera Model 1 whole-cell capacitance divisor, which is equivalent to fixing capacitance to one in the repository's RK4 recurrence. This count-neutral identity preserves that established timing and event behavior while the literature-labelled class uses the source C = 21 pF equation.


Module neurons.models.sc_upward_crossing_rulkov_map

  • post_init()

Module neurons.models.sc_wb_nmda_magnesium_block

Class SCWBNMDAMagnesiumBlockNeuron

Retained SC Wang--Buzsaki plus input-driven NMDA recurrence.

The magnesium block is the Jahr--Stevens component and the fast-spiking membrane uses Wang--Buzsaki rates. The saturating current-to-gate drive, asymmetric gate relaxation, threshold reset, and their combination are an SC-NeuroCore project recurrence rather than a published neuron model.

Reference: Benda, J. & Herz, A.V.M. (2003). Neural Comput. 15:2523–2564.

The membrane and adaptation conductance state is advanced as a coupled (v, g_sfa) RK4 candidate. The candidate is committed only after finite and envelope checks pass. A spike resets voltage and adds delta_g to the RK4 adaptation candidate.

Module neurons.models.sigma_delta

Class SigmaDeltaNeuron

Discrete-time specialization of Yoon's APSDM encoder.

sigma is the output of the disclosed integrating prefilter and reconstruction is the local feedback signal. Each sample implements equations 20-27 and the exponentially decaying reconstruction of equation 40 from WO2016022241A1: integrate the input, decay the reconstruction, compare their difference with the upper threshold delta / 2, then add one reconstruction quantum delta for a unipolar event.

This clocked specialization is source-bound but does not claim exact continuous-time event timing. The former bipolar accumulator is retained separately as :class:SCSigmaDeltaAccumulatorNeuron.

Reference: Y. C. Yoon, IEEE TNNLS 28(5), 2017, doi:10.1109/TNNLS.2016.2526029; primary equations WO2016022241A1.

Module neurons.models.sk_neuron

Class SKNeuron

SK (Small Conductance Ca²⁺-Activated K⁺) channel neuron.

Wang-Buzsáki base extended with an SK (KCa2.x) current that depends solely on intracellular Ca²⁺ (no voltage dependence). SK channels have slower kinetics than BK and produce the medium afterhyperpolarisation (mAHP) lasting 50–200 ms.

SK∞ = [Ca²⁺]² / ([Ca²⁺]² + 0.25) (Hill function, n=2) τ_Ca = 150 ms (slower than BK's 50 ms)

Reference: Stocker (2004) Nat Rev Neurosci 5:758–770; Wang & Buzsáki (1996) base model. The threshold-reset event, the spike-triggered Ca²⁺ increment, and the specific Hill constants are repository-specific specialisations of that review material, not a publication-exact recurrence.

Module neurons.models.srm0

Class SRM0Neuron

Spike Response Model with exact constant-current kernel flow.

The zeroth-order Spike Response Model keeps membrane potential v and a refractory afterhyperpolarisation kernel eta. During one step, external current is held constant and the coupled linear system for (v, eta) is integrated analytically. This avoids the first-order membrane Euler error while preserving the SRM0 threshold/reset semantics.

Parameters

v: Membrane potential state. v_rest: Rest potential and post-spike voltage reset. v_threshold: Spike threshold. A spike is emitted when the exact-flow candidate reaches or exceeds this value. tau_m: Membrane time constant. Must be positive and finite. tau_eta: Refractory-kernel decay time constant. Must be positive and finite. eta_reset: Positive refractory-kernel amplitude. On spike, eta is set to -eta_reset. resistance: Current-to-voltage gain. dt: Integration step. Must be positive and finite.

Raises

TypeError If a scalar parameter is not numeric. ValueError If a parameter is non-finite or a positive contract is violated.

Module neurons.models.sst_neuron

Class SSTNeuron

SST+ (somatostatin) low-threshold spiking interneuron.

Pospischil et al. 2008 LTS parameterisation: fast Na⁺ and delayed-rectifier K⁺ for the spike, an M-current (Kv7) for spike-frequency adaptation, a low-threshold T-type Ca²⁺ current for rebound bursting, Ih for the hyperpolarisation sag, and an ohmic leak — the seven-state (V, m, h, n, p, s, r) system (T-type activation m_T is instantaneous).

The sodium and potassium activation rates follow the Traub-Miles x/(exp(±x/k)-1) form and use the L'Hôpital limit at the removable singularity. The β_m numerator is the published V - V_T - 40 offset; an earlier revision shared the -17 offset of α_h, which lowered β_m enough to drive the cell into depolarisation block (it fired three spikes then stuck near threshold for any stimulus). The corrected kinetics restore a monotone frequency-current relation.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the seven-state system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which staggered the gate and membrane increments against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

Class TwoCompartmentLIFNeuron

TC-LIF — Zhang et al. (2024) two-compartment spiking neuron.

Discrete map (paper Eqs. 10–12, exact ordering U_D → U_S → S):

One external input I[t] enters the dendritic compartment; both compartments reset softly through the delayed spike S[t-1] (subtraction terms). beta1 = -sigmoid(c1) and beta2 = sigmoid(c2) are trained per task in the paper, so beta1 in (-1, 0) and beta2 in (0, 1); defaults here are the published S-MNIST feedforward profile (Table 5), and every Table 5 profile is exposed via :data:TC_LIF_PROFILES / :meth:from_profile. The right-continuous Theta(0) = 1 convention and the [0, 10] public bound on gamma are repository specialisations.

with transient sodium I_Na = g_Na m_inf^3 h (V - E_Na) (instantaneous activation), delayed-rectifier I_K = g_K n^4 (V - E_K), a transient A-type I_A = g_A a^3 b (V - E_K) (Kv4) whose slow inactivation produces the firing accommodation typical of the small high-input-resistance VIP soma, and an ohmic leak. Every gating variable relaxes through a sigmoidal steady state, so the right-hand side has no removable singularities.

The production integrator is candidate-first RK4 over the five-state (V, h, n, a, b) system: each sub-step evaluates the full right-hand side from one consistent state, forms the RK4 candidate, and commits it only once finite. The historical hard-coded forward-Euler update — which staggered the gate and membrane increments against mismatched states — remains reachable only through the explicit integrator="baseline_euler" regression option.

Module neurons.models.wendling

Class WendlingNeuron

Wendling et al. 2002 — extended Jansen-Rit with slow GABA_B inhibition.

10 ODEs: 4 populations (pyramidal, excitatory, fast inhibitory, slow inhibitory) x 2 states each + 2 for slow inhibitory PSP. Reproduces epileptiform EEG patterns.

Module neurons.models.wilson_cowan

Class WilsonCowanUnit

Normalised Wilson-Cowan excitatory/inhibitory population-rate model.

τ_e dE/dt = -E + S(w_ee·E - w_ei·I + I_ext) τ_i dI/dt = -I + S(w_ie·E - w_ii·I) S(x) = 1/(1 + exp(-a(x-θ))) - 1/(1 + exp(aθ))

This maintained reduction omits the original availability/refractory factors and an independent inhibitory external drive. It preserves the coupled E/I population structure and shifted sigmoid, and advances both continuous rates with fixed-step RK4.

  • post_init()
  • step(ext_input)
  • Advance one finite excitatory-drive sample and return the E rate.
  • simulate(n_steps, current, backend)
  • Return atomic post-step E/I traces through one maintained backend.
  • reset()
  • Reset the two rates while preserving the configured dynamics.

Module neurons.models.wilson_hr

Class WilsonHRNeuron

Wilson's 1999 continuous polynomial cortical-neuron model.

CdV/dt = -(17.81 + 47.71V + 32.63V^2)(V - 0.55) - 26R(V + 0.92) + I dR/dt = (-R + 1.35*V + 1.03) / tau_R

The maintained production path advances the coupled (V, R) state with candidate-first RK4 and commits only finite candidates. Events are sampled upward crossings of v_peak; the source flow is continuous and never resets either state variable.

  • post_init()
  • step(current)
  • simulate(n_steps, current, backend)
  • Advance n_steps RK4 updates from the current state, returning (trace, spikes).
  • reset()

Module neurons.models.wong_wang

Class WongWangUnit

Reduced two-choice decision circuit from Wong and Wang (2006).

Parameters

s1, s2 : float, default=0.1 Initial NMDA gating fractions for the two selective populations. noise1, noise2 : float, default=0.0 Initial Ornstein-Uhlenbeck input-current states in nA. tau_s : float, default=0.1 NMDA gating time constant in seconds. tau_ampa : float, default=0.002 AMPA input-noise time constant in seconds. gamma : float, default=0.641 NMDA kinetic conversion factor. j_n : float, default=0.2609 Recurrent self-coupling in nA. j_cross : float, default=0.0497 Cross-population inhibitory coupling magnitude in nA. i_0 : float, default=0.3255 Constant background current in nA. sigma : float, default=0.02 Stationary input-current noise amplitude in nA. dt : float, default=0.0001 Explicit-Euler step in seconds. The default is the 0.1 ms step stated in the paper; the pinned author-lab trial code uses 0.5 ms.

Notes

A call returns the firing rates computed from the pre-update state. The caller-visible random path consumes two standard-normal samples per step. :meth:step_with_gaussian_samples exposes the same update deterministically for accelerator parity and source-oracle replay.

  • post_init()
  • Normalise parameters and validate the initial dynamic state.
  • step_with_gaussian_samples(stim1, stim2, xi1, xi2)
  • Advance one published Euler/OU step with supplied noise samples.

Return which facets a descriptor declares, under tier semantics v1.

The predicates are exactly the anchors :mod:descriptor_tiers credits, so a declared facet here is a declared rung there.

Function facet_evidence_field(descriptor, spec)

Return the raw evidence text the descriptor holds for spec.

Function compiler_subjects(repo_root)

Return the compiler subjects shared by every generated-RTL receipt.

Function current_digest(subject, repo_root)

Derive the current subjects a receipt for facet must cover.

Parameters

class_name: Registered class the receipt is for. facet: Facet name. repo_root: Repository root. evidence_refs: Evidence references to take validator and report subjects from; the descriptor's own field for the facet is always included. extra_subjects: Subjects the caller adds: the committed RTL a formal or synthesis lane covers (the recorder resolves it through the formal inventory tool) or a native backend source the registry cannot derive.

Returns

tuple[Subject, ...] Subjects with digests of the current content, de-duplicated by (kind, path) and sorted.

Function verify_receipt(receipt)

Judge one receipt against the current repository.

Returns

Parameters

class_name: Registered class name (aliases are resolved by the caller). repo_root: Repository root the evidence paths are relative to. receipts: Newest receipts per (class_name, facet, profile); read from :data:~sc_neurocore.neurons.facet_receipts.RECEIPT_DIR when omitted. profile: Exact schema profile.

Function summarise(records)

Return count summaries of declared versus verified readiness.


Module neurons.receipt_execution

Function evidence_selection_problems(selected, declared)

Reject validator selections outside a descriptor's reviewed evidence.

Parameters

selected : Sequence[str] Evidence references selected for this particular execution. declared : str Descriptor evidence field containing reviewed files or exact test nodes.

Returns

tuple[str, ...] Missing or foreign test selections. A file declaration permits its nodes, but a node declaration does not permit another test in the same file.

Function pytest_command(command)

Return whether argv directly invokes pytest, without a shell wrapper.

Parameters

command : Sequence[str] Executable and arguments.

Returns

bool Whether pytest owns the invocation rather than appearing as an argument.

Function junit_checks(xml)

Derive counts and executed validator names from the actual report.

Parameters

xml : str Complete pytest JUnit XML retained in a receipt.

Returns

tuple[dict[str, int], tuple[str, ...]] Counts derived from testcase elements and their dotted identities.

Raises

ValueError If the report is malformed, empty, declares a DTD or entities, or lacks testcase identities. External references are never resolved.

Function execution_problems(command, evidence_refs, validator, counts)

Check that a receipt's declared validators actually appear in its run.

Parameters

command : Sequence[str] Recorded direct invocation. evidence_refs : Sequence[str] Declared test files or node IDs; prose alone cannot identify a validator. validator : Mapping[str, str] Execution contract and retained JUnit XML. counts : Mapping[str, int] Recorded check totals, compared against the XML testcase elements.

Returns

tuple[str, ...] Reasons why this execution cannot credit the scientific claim.


Module neurons.reference_trace_contracts

Class ReferenceTraceProvenance

Provenance attached to one reference trace.

Parameters

kind: Reference class, for example analytic_closed_form. source: Human-readable source for the reference values. equation: Equation or feature-generation statement used to derive the values. citation: Optional publication or DOI string when the trace is external.

Simulation protocol for one reference trace.

Parameters

dt: Simulation timestep in the units used by the model schema. steps: Number of timesteps to execute. inputs: Constant keyword inputs passed to UniversalNeuron.step. state_variables: State variables to record after each timestep. May be empty for a genuinely stateless deterministic threshold model; event features are still recorded. parameter_overrides: Optional schema parameter values that define the enrolled operating profile without changing the bundled schema defaults.

Class ReferenceTraceSpec

Committed reference-trace specification.

Parameters

name: Stable corpus identifier. schema_name: Bundled UniversalNeuron schema name. runner: Production runner name.

Function list_reference_trace_specs()

Return all committed deterministic Universal-DSL trace names.

Returns

tuple[str, ...] Sorted stable identifiers for every deterministic scalar-feature payload in the corpus. Hand-model and seeded statistical artefacts use dedicated validators, so they are not coerced into this trace contract.

Function load_reference_trace_spec(name)

Load one committed reference-trace specification.

Parameters

name: Stable corpus identifier.

Returns

ReferenceTraceSpec Validated reference-trace specification.

Raises

ValueError If name is not present in the committed corpus.


Module neurons.reference_trace_mutations

  • caught()
  • Return whether this control demonstrated the trace catches the error.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-safe row for reports and documentation.

Class NegativeControlReport

Every control outcome for the committed corpus.

Attributes

version : str Negative-control contract version. outcomes : tuple of ControlOutcome One outcome per trace and control.

  • for_trace(name)
  • Return every outcome recorded for one trace.
  • with_status(status)
  • Return every outcome with one status.
  • uncontrolled_traces()

  • Return a JSON-safe report of every control outcome.

Function run_negative_control(spec, mutation)

Apply one negative control to one reference trace.

Parameters

spec : ReferenceTraceSpec The trace to control. It is never modified; mutations act on copies. mutation : str One of :data:MUTATIONS.

Returns

ControlOutcome What the control demonstrated, including why it could not apply.

Raises

ValueError mutation is not a known control.

Function negative_control_report(names)

Apply every control to every deterministic trace in the corpus.

Parameters

names : iterable of str, optional Restrict the report to these traces. Defaults to the whole corpus.

Returns

NegativeControlReport One outcome per trace and control, in corpus order.


Module neurons.reference_trace_provenance

Class ReferenceTraceAdjudicationError

Raised when a trace's provenance cannot be adjudicated.

Class SpecAdjudication

How independent one reference trace is, and of what.

Attributes

name : str Corpus identifier of the adjudicated trace. kind : str The provenance.kind the trace declares. derivation : str How the expected values were produced. attribution : str What the formulation is sourced from. independence : str The class a public claim about this trace may use. citation : str or None The citation as declared.

  • meaning()
  • Return what this trace's independence class licenses as a claim.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-safe row for reports and generated documentation.

Class CorpusAdjudication

The corpus-wide honest replication boundary.

Attributes

version : str Adjudication contract version. rows : tuple of SpecAdjudication One adjudication per deterministic corpus trace, by name.

  • counts()
  • Return how many traces fall in each independence class.
  • by_class(independence)
  • Return the trace names in one independence class, sorted.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-safe report of the whole adjudication.

Function adjudicated_kinds()

Return every provenance.kind this build knows how to adjudicate.

Function derivation_of_kind(kind)

Return how a declared provenance.kind produced its expected values.

Parameters

kind : str The provenance.kind a trace declares.

Returns

str The derivation recorded for that kind.

Raises

ReferenceTraceAdjudicationError The kind is not in the adjudicated vocabulary. A new kind is a decision about what a trace proves, so it is declared here rather than accepted as free text.

Function classify_citation(citation)

Return what a citation string attributes the formulation to.

Parameters

citation : str or None The declared citation.

Returns

str "resolvable_source" for a DOI or URL, "project_retained" when the citation names this project's own recurrence, and "named_source" otherwise — a publication named without a locator resolvable from here.

Raises

ReferenceTraceAdjudicationError The citation is absent. Every trace states what it is derived from; an unstated source cannot be adjudicated, and silently treating it as external is the overstatement this module exists to prevent.

Function adjudicate_spec(spec)

Adjudicate one reference trace's independence.

Parameters

spec : ReferenceTraceSpec A loaded deterministic corpus trace.

Returns

SpecAdjudication Derivation, attribution and the independence class a claim may use.

Raises

ReferenceTraceAdjudicationError The declared provenance.kind is not in the adjudicated vocabulary, or no citation is declared.

Notes

A citation naming the project's own recurrence demotes the trace to project_formulation whatever the declared kind says. A hand re-derivation of a recurrence this repository invented is independent of the implementation, but there is no published formulation for it to be independent of.

Function adjudicate_corpus()

Adjudicate every deterministic trace in the committed corpus.

Returns

CorpusAdjudication The honest replication boundary: which identities rest on a published source and which rest on this repository's own formulation.

Raises

ReferenceTraceAdjudicationError Any trace declares an unadjudicated kind or no citation.


Module neurons.reference_trace_runner

Function simulate_reference_trace(spec_or_name)

Run a reference-trace protocol through UniversalNeuron.

Parameters

Function validate_reference_trace(name)

Validate one committed reference trace by name.

Parameters

name: Stable corpus identifier.

Returns

TraceValidationReport Feature-level validation report.

Function validate_reference_trace_spec(spec)

Validate one in-memory reference-trace specification.

Parameters

spec: Reference-trace specification to simulate and compare.

Returns

TraceValidationReport Feature-level validation report.

Function validate_all_reference_traces()

Validate every committed reference trace.

Returns

tuple[TraceValidationReport, ...] Sorted reports for the current corpus.

Function extract_trace_features(trace, spikes)

Return the scalar features a reference trace pins.

This is the whole comparison surface: a trace constrains the model exactly as far as these features constrain it. Negative controls extract features the same way, so a control and the production validator can never disagree about what was measured.

Parameters

trace : mapping of str to tuple of float Recorded value sequence per state variable. spikes : tuple of int Emitted event per timestep.

Returns

mapping of str to float spike_count, first_spike_step (-1 when silent) and final/min/max/mean per recorded state variable.

Standard Izhikevich model (IEEE TNN 14(6), 2003): v' = 0.04v^2 + 5v + 140 - u + I + noise u' = a(bv - u)

When v >= 30 mV: spike, then v <- c, u <- u + d.

Example

neuron = SCIzhikevichNeuron(noise_std=0.0) spikes = [neuron.step(10.0) for _ in range(100)] sum(spikes) > 0 # regular spiking with I=10 True

  • reset_state()
  • get_state()

Module neurons.schema_contracts

Function stateless_event_kind(schema)

Return the supported event-only contract declared by schema.

A schema is event-only only when both its state and dynamics tables are present and empty. Deterministic schemas must provide a non-empty level threshold; stochastic Poisson schemas must provide a non-empty probability expression. Free-form extension labels are deliberately ignored.

Parameters

Returns

StatelessEventKind or None The exact supported event contract, or None when the schema must declare ordinary state and dynamics.

Module neurons.seed_domain

Class SeedOutOfDomain

Raised when a seed falls outside the domain its model declares.

Parameters

  • init(model, seed, domain)

Function seed_domain(model)

Return the seeds a model accepts.

Parameters

model : type or None The model class, or None when the caller has no class to ask.

Returns

tuple of int The inclusive (low, high) bounds the model declares, or :data:UNIVERSAL_SEED_DOMAIN when it declares none. An undeclared model is given the narrowest domain rather than the widest, because a seed that is too small is always accepted and one that is too large is refused by the constructor after the run was admitted.

Examples

from sc_neurocore.neurons.models.poisson import PoissonNeuron seed_domain(PoissonNeuron) (0, 65535) seed_domain(None) (1, 65535)

Function check_seed(model_name, seed, domain)

Module neurons.stochastic_lif

Class StochasticLIFNeuron

Discrete-time noisy leaky integrate-and-fire neuron.

dv/dt = -(v - v_rest) / tau_mem + R * I + noise

Parameters use normalised units (voltage [0,1], time in ms). Defaults from Gerstner & Kistler, Spiking Neuron Models, 2002.

  • post_init()
  • step(input_current)
  • reset_state()
  • get_state()
  • process_bitstream(input_bits, input_scale)
  • Process a bitstream (array of 0s and 1s) as input current.

Module neurons.universal_dsl

Class UniversalNeuron

Schema-driven neuron model — parallel meta-layer over existing models.

Does NOT replace hand-crafted model files. Delegates simulation to :class:~sc_neurocore.neurons.equation_builder.EquationNeuron, ensuring all existing AST safety, integration methods, and compilation paths remain available.

Every schema is resolved to its :class:~sc_neurocore.neurons.model_profile.ModelProfile before anything runs. A schema whose authored profile contradicts it, or that is a descriptive record outside the executable vocabulary, is refused. Overrides are admitted through the profile: a method must stay in the profile's family (a published map is never integrated as an ODE), a timestep override moves the profile's timebase parameters with it and is refused for a recurrence without a continuous timebase, and a seed is refused for a model that draws no randomness.

Parameters

schema : dict Parsed schema dictionary (from :func:load_schema). parameter_overrides : dict, optional Override default parameter values (e.g. for parameter sweeps). dt_override : float, optional Override the schema's default timestep. method_override : str, optional Override the integration method. rng_seed_override : int, optional Override the stochastic-threshold LFSR seed.

Raises

ValueError If the schema defines no dynamics and no event-only contract, or the profile refuses the schema or an override (:class:~sc_neurocore.neurons.model_profile.ProfileAdmissionError).

Module nir_bridge.fpga_aer_interconnect

Function build_aer_interconnect(module_name, qgraph)

Generate weighted event-bus top-level interconnect.

The emitted datapath keeps the same population instances as the direct interconnect but routes spike-producing source populations through an address-event fan-out block. All active source spikes in a cycle contribute their signed fixed-point weights to every destination accumulator, so simultaneous events preserve the dense affine semantics of the NIR graph. External analogue inputs and analogue source populations remain direct fixed-point multiply-accumulate terms because they are not sparse events.

Parameters

module_name : str Top-level module name. qgraph : QuantisedGraph Quantised graph. data_width : int Fixed-point data width. fraction : int Fractional bits for analogue multiply downshift. bitstream_length : int SC-NIR bitstream length recorded in the generated top module. scnir_stream_count : int Number of semantic streams recorded in the SC-NIR document. scnir_source_module_count : int Number of materialised stochastic source modules. scnir_hierarchy : Sequence[SCNIRHierarchyInstance] Typed hierarchy boundaries instantiated by the network top. scnir_semantic_hierarchy_stream_ids : frozenset[str] Hierarchy stream identifiers that provide semantic connection weights.

Returns

str Verilog top-level module source.

Raises

ValueError If hierarchy metadata cannot be represented by the address-event interconnect contract.

Stable flattened input-bus layout entry for one external source.

  • as_dict()
  • Return deterministic JSON-ready external input metadata.

Class FoldedResourceMetrics

Architectural resource summary of a folded (time-multiplexed) interconnect.

Quantifies what the shared-datapath fold buys versus the direct interconnect's one-module-instance-per-neuron unrolling: one processing element per distinct neuron type is reused across every neuron of that type (a per-type PE pool), with per-neuron state held in BRAM, at the cost of cycles_per_tick cycles to advance the whole network by one timestep.

Attributes

neurons : int Total neurons sharing the datapath across all folded populations. state_vars_per_neuron : int Widest per-neuron state-variable count across the folded types (the largest BRAM word = state_vars_per_neuron × data width). Equal to the single type's count for a homogeneous network. pe_instances : int Physical processing elements instantiated: one per distinct neuron type. A single population, or several populations all of one type, share one PE. shared_multipliers : int Multipliers in the shared weighted fan-in, summed over external-source columns across all populations and reused across each population's neurons. Spiking fan-in (recurrent or inter-population) is spike-gated and uses none. state_ram_bits : int Total BRAM-backed neuron-state storage, in bits, summed over populations (each population contributes neurons × its type's state-var count × data width). cycles_per_tick : int Clock cycles to advance the whole network by one timestep (neurons process cycles + 1 commit cycle). direct_neuron_instances : int Neuron module instances the direct interconnect would unroll (= neurons); the count the fold collapses to pe_instances. populations : int Number of folded populations sharing the one sequencer and the global spike bus. param_rom_bits : int Total per-neuron parameter-ROM storage, in bits, for heterogeneous populations (each contributes neurons × its count of per-neuron-varying parameters × data width). Zero for a network whose populations all have uniform parameters (the PE bakes them). The parameter-space analogue of state_ram_bits.

  • as_dict()
  • Return a deterministic plain-int mapping for manifests/JSON.

Module nir_bridge.fpga_compiler

Function compile_network_to_fpga(graph)

Compile a NeuronGraph to synthesisable Verilog RTL.

  1. Quantise all parameters to the target Q-format.
  2. Generate one Verilog module per unique neuron type.
  3. Generate a combined weight ROM.
  4. Generate a top-level interconnect module (direct or AER).

Parameters

graph : NeuronGraph Network description (from from_scnetwork()). module_name : str Top-level Verilog module name. data_width : int Fixed-point total width (16 for Q8.8, 32 for Q16.16). fraction : int Fractional bits. bitstream_length : int SC-NIR bitstream length metadata propagated into compilation artefacts. source_kind : {"lfsr", "sobol"} Hardware stochastic source family materialised from SC-NIR metadata. base_seed : int First deterministic source seed; stream index increments from this base. target : str FPGA target for resource estimation hints. online_learning : Mapping[str, Mapping[str, Any]] | None Optional validated per-weight-stream SC-NIR online-learning annotations, keyed by deterministic stream id such as "conn.src_to_dst.weight". interconnect : str | None None (default) auto-selects direct (small) or AER (large) wiring; "direct" forces direct; "folded" opts into the time-multiplexed shared-datapath interconnect (one PE per neuron type + per-population BRAM state, swept by a single sequencer), which supports the :func:_can_fold subset: any number of populations with external-weighted, recurrent, or inter-population spiking fan-in.

Returns

Raises

ValueError If the graph is empty or contains unsupported neuron types.


Module nir_bridge.fpga_connection_routing

Function validate_connection_routing(graph)

Validate connection shapes, external lanes, and delay vectors before lowering.

The SC-NIR conversion and all three interconnect emitters index connection matrices by source column. Validating the matrix rank first converts malformed direct NeuronGraph input into a stable ValueError instead of leaking an IndexError from a downstream conversion step.

Parameters

graph : NeuronGraph Network graph whose connection layout will be lowered to RTL.

Raises

ValueError If a connection matrix, endpoint width, bias, threshold, or delay is inconsistent with its source and destination populations.


Module nir_bridge.fpga_direct_interconnect

Function build_direct_interconnect(module_name, qgraph)

Generate direct-wired per-neuron top-level interconnect.

Every neuron gets its own instance of the type-specific module. NIR affine weights are emitted explicitly in fixed-point arithmetic:

  • external analogue inputs use (input * weight) >>> fraction;
  • analogue source populations use (v_out * weight) >>> fraction;
  • spiking source populations contribute their fixed-point weight on spikes and zero otherwise;
  • all fan-in terms and biases accumulate in a widened signed accumulator before saturation back to the neuron input Q-format.

Parameters

module_name : str Top-level module name. qgraph : QuantisedGraph Quantised graph. data_width : int Fixed-point data width. fraction : int Fractional bits for fixed-point multiply downshift. bitstream_length : int SC-NIR bitstream length recorded in the generated top module. scnir_stream_count : int Number of semantic streams recorded in the SC-NIR document. scnir_source_module_count : int Number of materialised stochastic source modules. scnir_hierarchy : Sequence[SCNIRHierarchyInstance] Typed hierarchy boundaries instantiated by the network top. scnir_semantic_hierarchy_stream_ids : frozenset[str] Hierarchy stream identifiers that provide semantic connection weights.

Returns

str Verilog top-level module source.

Raises

ValueError If the graph or hierarchy metadata cannot be represented by the direct interconnect contract.


Module nir_bridge.fpga_folded_interconnect

Function can_fold(qgraph)

Return True if the graph is in the folded interconnect's supported subset.

The folded interconnect time-multiplexes any number of populations of supported neuron types over a per-type PE pool and one global spike bus. A graph folds when every population has an ODE template, every population's heterogeneous per-neuron parameters are datapath parameters the PE can carry on a port (streamed from a per-neuron parameter ROM — a parameter varying in something other than an ODE parameter cannot be streamed and falls back to the direct path), and every connection is one of:

  • connection-less — neurons driven only by their own external I_ext lane;
  • external-weighted — fed by external (non-population) source columns;
  • spiking fan-in — recurrent (self) or inter-population spikes from another population, read from the prior-tick global spike bus, optionally delayed or gated by a source/destination NIR Threshold transform;
  • analogue fan-in — an analogue source population (li/cuba_li/ integrator, whose output is the membrane voltage), read from the prior-tick global voltage bus (optionally delayed via a voltage-bus history register) and multiplied (or threshold-gated) by the weight.

Connections may also carry a per-destination-neuron bias constant. Only a delayed external (non-population) source connection is not folded — a synaptic delay has registered semantics only from a neuron population — and falls back to the direct interconnect.

Parameters

qgraph : QuantisedGraph Quantised network graph to classify. data_width : int Fixed-point data width used to compare per-neuron parameters.

Returns

bool True when the graph can use the shared-datapath interconnect.

Function folded_resource_metrics(qgraph)

Summarise the shared-datapath resources of a foldable graph.

Counts one PE per distinct neuron type (the per-type pool), the shared weighted-fan-in multipliers (external-source and analogue-voltage-source columns — spiking recurrent or inter-population fan-in is spike-gated and uses none), the BRAM state-word storage summed over populations, the per-neuron parameter-ROM storage for heterogeneous populations, the cycles-per-tick, and the direct-path instance count the fold collapses.

Parameters

qgraph : QuantisedGraph A graph satisfying :func:can_fold. data_width : int Fixed-point data width (BRAM word sizing).

Returns

FoldedResourceMetrics The architectural fold summary.

Function build_folded_interconnect(module_name, qgraph)

Generate a time-multiplexed (folded) top plus its per-type datapath PE pool.

One combinational PE (:func:compile_to_datapath) per distinct neuron type and one BRAM-backed state array per population are shared across every neuron: a single sequencer steps one neuron per cycle, walking each population in turn, reading the addressed neuron's packed state from its BRAM, driving the population's PE with that state and the neuron's input current, and writing the next state back. Spikes accumulate over a tick into a global accumulator and commit to a single spike_bus in a dedicated cycle (tick_done pulses), so the bus is race-free and stable for the whole next tick. Recurrent and inter-population spiking fan-in read that prior-tick spike_bus at the source population's bit offset — the same double-buffer the direct interconnect's registered spikes provide. An analogue source population's membrane voltage is committed the same way to a global v_bus (one DATA_WIDTH word per analogue source neuron), so analogue fan-in reads the prior-tick voltage exactly like the direct path's registered v_out.

Restricted to the :func:can_fold subset. Returns ({neuron_module_key: pe_source}, top_module_source) with one PE source per distinct neuron type, keyed "{neuron_type}_pe" for the compilation artefacts.

Parameters

module_name : str Verilog module name for the folded network top. qgraph : QuantisedGraph Quantised graph accepted by :func:can_fold. data_width : int Fixed-point word width. fraction : int Number of fractional bits in each fixed-point word.

Returns

tuple[dict[str, str], str] Per-type processing-element sources and the folded top-level Verilog.

Raises

ValueError If the graph is outside the supported folded subset.

Raises

ValueError If the operator has not configured a root, the expected files are unavailable, or their digests, labels or groups differ.

Module studio._training_conversion

Class ConversionOutcome

A finished conversion run, ready to be recorded by its job.

Attributes

model : torch.nn.Module The trained QCFS source network. architecture : str Layer sizes, input to output. model_info : dict Parameter counts and cell summary of the source. observed : dict Unrounded terminal metrics; the job rounds them for publication and judges a preregistered criterion on them as they are. report : dict The sealed conversion loss report. target_report : dict or None The sealed target calibration, when a target profile was named.

Function train_qcfs_conversion(resolved, context)

Run the conversion route to completion, or stop at a batch boundary.

Parameters

resolved : ResolvedTrainingConfig A configuration whose model_kind is qcfs_conversion. context : StudioJobContext or None Job sandbox the conversion report is sealed into; None for a direct in-process run, which keeps the report on the outcome only. job_id : str Identifier published in the configuration event. emit : callable Event sink of the supervising job. stop_requested : callable Cooperative cancellation probe.

Parameters

context : StudioJobContext Job sandbox to write the status and evidence artifacts into. message : str The refusal, as the caller will read it.

Notes

A refused configuration never builds a model, so there is no weight checkpoint and no event log to publish — only the reason. Writing it keeps the sandbox's account complete: every job that ends has an evidence artifact saying how.


Module studio._training_job

Manage one Studio training run for thread or process execution.

Parameters

config : dict[str, Any] Training request.

A random legacy identifier is generated when omitted. cancelled : Callable[[], bool] or None, optional Cooperative process-worker cancellation probe. event_sink : Callable[[dict[str, object]], None] or None, optional Sink used to persist path-free JSON events from a process worker. initial_state_dict : Mapping[str, object] or None, optional Verified model state loaded before the first optimisation step. On its own this is a warm start: a new run beginning from those weights, with a fresh optimiser and generator at epoch zero. resume_state : TrainingResumeState or None, optional Saved position of a run to continue exactly: the optimiser state, the generator states and how many epochs are already done. Supplied together with initial_state_dict; supplying it alone would restore an optimiser onto weights it never saw.

Raises

dict or None The written attach evidence, or None when the attach was rejected.


Module studio._training_weight_capture

Class CapturedWeightCheckpoint

Serialised terminal weights awaiting artifact publication.

Attributes

payload : bytes The torch.save document, loadable with weights_only=True. architecture : str Layer sizes of the network the weights belong to. parameter_count : int Total parameters, for the published metadata.

Function capture_weight_checkpoint()

Serialise terminal weights, and the run position when there is one.

Parameters

model : torch.nn.Module The trained network. architecture : str Layer sizes, as the checkpoint records them. model_info : dict Architecture summary published alongside the weights. config : dict The resolved configuration the run executed. final_metrics : dict or None Terminal metrics, when the run reached them. resume_state : TrainingResumeState or None, optional The position the run reached. Present, a later run can continue this one exactly; absent, the weights support a warm start and nothing more.

Returns

CapturedWeightCheckpoint Bytes and metadata for artifact publication.

Notes

Everything written here is a tensor or a primitive, so the artifact loads under weights_only=True. The generator states are integers and a hex string for exactly that reason: a checkpoint arrives from a user, and unpickling one would trade that guarantee for convenience.


Module studio.analysis

Function fi_curve_sweep(simulate_fn, i_min, i_max, i_steps)

Sweep a constant current and report the firing rate at each level.

Parameters

simulate_fn: Callable accepting current= and returning a run result with stats.rate_hz. i_min, i_max, i_steps: Inclusive current range and number of levels.

Returns

dict currents, rates and the metric contract.

Function bifurcation_sweep(simulate_fn, base_config, param_name, param_min, param_max, n_values)

Sweep one parameter and record the late-run extrema of one state trace.

This is a numerical extrema sweep under the configured drive, not a bifurcation continuation: no equilibrium branch is followed and no stability is computed. At each parameter value the second half of the trace is inspected; its local maxima and minima (up to :data:ATTRACTOR_EXTREMA_KEPT of each, rounded to :data:ATTRACTOR_DECIMALS) are reported as the attractor sample. A trace without extrema reports its mean as a single fixed-point sample; a trace with fewer than :data:ATTRACTOR_MIN_SAMPLES late samples is reported as insufficient.

Parameters

simulate_fn: Callable accepting params= (and the other base-config keys) and returning a run result with raw traces. base_config: Run configuration shared by every sweep point (protocol is reported). param_name, param_min, param_max, n_values: Swept parameter and its inclusive range. variable: State variable analysed; the first raw trace when None.

Returns

dict param_name, param_values, attractors (one list per value), attractor_kinds (extrema / fixed_point / insufficient_samples), variable, protocol and the metric contract.

Function sensitivity_analysis(simulate_fn, base_config, param_names, perturbation)

Rate elasticity of each parameter under a symmetric relative perturbation.

The elasticity is |rate(p + δ) − rate(p − δ)| / (2 δ) · |p| / rate(p) with δ = perturbation · |p|. It is undefined (reported as null with a reason) when the base rate is zero or when the parameter is zero, because a relative perturbation of zero is no perturbation.

Parameters

simulate_fn: Callable accepting params= and returning a run result with stats.rate_hz. base_config: Run configuration; params holds the base values. param_names: Parameters to perturb. perturbation: Relative perturbation of each parameter.

Returns

dict base_rate, sensitivities (sorted, undefined last) and the metric contract; each row carries sensitivity (or null), reason when undefined, rate_minus / rate_plus when computed.

Function heatmap_2d(simulate_fn, base_config, param_x, x_min, x_max, x_steps, param_y, y_min, y_max, y_steps)

Sweep two parameters and compute the firing-rate map.

The sweep fails closed: when any grid point fails the whole request is rejected with every failure listed, so a partial map is never returned with silent zeros.

Function spike_triggered_average(time, voltage, spikes, dt, window_ms)

Average of the trace in a symmetric window around every complete spike.

Spikes whose window would leave the trace are excluded and counted against n_spikes; the window half-width is window_ms / 2 rounded down to whole steps (at least one step).

Function frequency_response(simulate_fn, base_config, freq_min, freq_max, n_freqs, bias, depth)

Measure how the firing rate follows a sinusoidally modulated current.

The drive is I(t) = bias · (1 + depth · sin(2π f t)): the current stays about the operating point bias and, for depth < 1, never changes sign. A mean-zero sine, which this analysis used before, drove the Studio's default model outside its safety bounds, and reported the mean rate alone.

At each frequency the result gives the mean rate, the amplitude of the rate's first harmonic, the gain (that amplitude per unit of modulating current, modulation / (depth · |bias|)), the phase by which the response lags the drive, and the vector strength. A frequency whose period is longer than the run is reported as not measured rather than estimated from a fraction of a cycle.


Module studio.analysis_contract

Class MetricContract

Parameters

kind: Stable identifier of the metric family ("fi-curve", "precision-compare", "nullclines", …). definition: One-sentence statement of how the reported numbers are computed. units: Unit of every reported quantity, keyed by the payload field or the quantity name; "model-defined" when the equation system carries no declared unit. applicability: Conditions under which the metric is meaningful. limitations: Known limits of the computation (resolution, transients, protocol). domain: complete when every requested point was evaluated, partial when some points were invalid and are reported, empty when no point could be evaluated. domain_detail: Path-free detail of the invalid part (counts, fractions, reasons).

Function submit_analysis_job(job_manager, req)

Validate and submit one analysis job; return the public job receipt.

Parameters

Module studio.api.evidence_jobs

Class EvidenceInputLimitExceeded

Aggregate snapshot metadata and declared source bytes exceed policy.

Class EvidenceSeedInputs

Load one verified source artifact at a time while the manager writes seeds.

This mapping retains only declarations, never a cache of all binary payloads. The manager's existing per-seed limit remains independent of aggregate policy.

Parameters

records : sequence of StudioJobRecord Captured records whose ordered artifacts define deterministic seed names. reader : callable Trusted API-side artifact reader. Each lookup verifies returned metadata, size and digest; construction does not read payloads or write files.

  • init(records, reader)
  • len()
  • Return the declared seed count without reading source files.
  • iter()
  • Yield deterministic seed names in source-record and artifact order.
  • getitem(name)
  • Read and verify one seed; reject unknown names or changed source bytes.

Function prepare_evidence_process_payload(inputs, records, max_input_bytes)

Validate complete snapshots and their total metadata-plus-artifact bytes.

No source bytes are read here. Exceeding the explicit aggregate limit raises EvidenceInputLimitExceeded before job admission or seed directory writes. Invalid writer inputs or records raise ValueError without dropping fields.

Parameters

Class ReplayRequest

An exported fit result.

Function estimated_fit_steps(request)

Projected model steps for admission, not a hard execution-time guarantee.

Differential evolution evaluates population x parameters members per generation, plus the initial population; the local polish and the identifiability differences add a few evaluations per parameter, counted here as one more generation.

Function refusal_message(exc)

Return the text a refused laboratory request may show its caller.

Parameters

exc: The exception that stopped the request.

Returns

str The deliberate message of a LaboratoryRefusal, or :data:MALFORMED_DOCUMENT for every other exception, including generated conversion and Pydantic validation errors.

Validate a request into the replayable scientific fitting problem.

Function fit_replay_request(result)

Validate replay optimiser limits through the same request schema as new fits.

Build the parameter-fitting router.

Parameters

context: Shared runtime state, including the existing background process manager.


Module studio.api.frontend

Function studio_frontend_candidates(app_module_file)

The packaged build comes first, so an installation serves its own; the checkout's build follows, found from the application module.

Function studio_frontend_dir(candidates)

Return the first candidate holding a built frontend, or None.

Function studio_entry(origin, dist_dir)

Return the page a launched Studio opens and the lines announcing it.

Parameters

origin: Scheme, host and port the API serves, without a trailing slash. dist_dir: The built frontend :func:studio_frontend_dir found, or None.

Returns

tuple The URL to open, and the lines to print before opening it. Without a frontend the root would be an empty page, so the API documentation opens instead and the first line says why.

Function mount_studio_frontend(app)

Mount the built frontend at :data:STUDIO_UI_PATH when one exists.

Parameters

app: FastAPI application receiving the root redirect and the static mount. app_module_file: Path of the application module, the anchor for the checkout's build.

Function execute_model_scan_process_task(context, payload)

Validate the operating point and classify every model in the catalogue.

Parameters

context : StudioJobContext Registered worker context. Process cancellation is enforced by the supervisor; the scan also retains its cooperative stop callback. payload : mapping Exactly current (finite, model-native input units) and duration (finite positive milliseconds).

Module studio.api.schemas

Class SimulateRequest

Request body for direct equation-playground simulation in Studio.

The body is fail-closed: unknown keys are rejected, the protocol must be one of the supported injection protocols (a typo never becomes constant), the sine frequency is explicit, and the randomness contract is explicit: seed fixes the diffusion-noise generator of a stochastic run (xi in the equations), trial selects replay of a trial (cacheable) or a fresh trial whose drawn seed is reported.

Class ModelSimulateRequest

Request body for model-catalogue simulation in Studio.

The body is fail-closed: unknown keys are rejected, parameter overrides and the timestep must be finite numbers (booleans and strings are not numbers), and the protocol must be one of the supported injection protocols. Model- specific validation (unknown parameter names, integer fields, unsupported step inputs) is performed by the run contract and reported as :class:ModelInputErrorDetail.

Class ModelInputErrorDetail

422 detail for a model-run request rejected before any simulation step.

Class ExperimentRejectedDetail

422 detail for a simulation request the experiment contract refuses.

Class NativeToolUnavailableDetail

Class ModelCosimRequest

Request body for real selected-model RTL co-simulation.

Class SynthesisTerminalRequest

Request body for digest-bound selected-model synthesis and PnR.

Class BifurcationRequest

Request body for one-parameter numerical extrema sweeps.

The response is labelled numerical-extrema-sweep: the late-run extrema of one state trace per parameter value under the configured drive, not a bifurcation continuation. The drive is protocol at current (and frequency_hz for a sine); it was a sine regardless of the request, which the Studio did not show and which drove some catalogue models out of their safety bounds at any swept value.

Class SensitivityRequest

Request body for Studio model sensitivity analysis.

Class NullclineRequest

Request body for two-dimensional nullcline analysis.

current is the input the drift field is evaluated at and held fixes every equation variable that is not swept (an unlisted one is held at its initial value). Invalid grid samples are reported as validity masks, never as zero derivatives.

Class PrecisionRequest

Request body for float64 versus bit-true fixed-point comparisons.

q_format names the word (Q8.8 = 16 bits, 8 fractional; 8 to 32 bits), overflow and rounding the kernel's accumulate and product policies. Values the word cannot hold are rejected, never clamped.

mode names which of two different runs is being started. warm_start begins a new run from the restored weights with a fresh optimiser and generator at epoch zero. exact_resume continues the source run from its recorded position, restoring the optimiser and generator states and the epoch already reached; it is refused when the saved position belongs to a different configuration or architecture.

Class StudioTrainingWeightLiveAttachRequest

Request body for admin training weight-restore live attach.

Class PresetDefaultFlowAttestationVerifyRequest

Request body for verifying a preset flow attestation.

Class CompareRequest

Request body for comparing two Studio simulation configurations.

Class FreqResponseRequest

Request body for frequency-response analysis.

The drive is bias · (1 + depth · sin(2π f t)). amplitude named the mean-zero sine this analysis used before; a request that still sends it is refused with that reason rather than read under the new definition.

Class HeatmapRequest

Request body for two-parameter response heatmap analysis.

Every grid point runs under protocol at current (frequency_hz for a sine): the drive the Studio shows, not a fixed constant one.

Class AnalysisJobRequest

Request body for asynchronous heavy analysis job submission.

The analysis field selects the synchronous analysis kind. payload must match the corresponding synchronous request schema (for example :class:BifurcationRequest when analysis is bifurcation; :class:ModelSimulateRequest or :class:SimulateRequest when analysis is simulate, the route for a run the synchronous simulation routes refuse as oversized).

Class NetworkRequest

Request body for balanced excitatory-inhibitory network simulation.

Weights are membrane jumps in millivolts in the post-pre convention (w_ei is inhibitory-to-excitatory). ext_rate is the rate in hertz of each of the 800 external excitatory inputs every neuron receives; about 9.4 Hz reaches threshold. See :mod:sc_neurocore.studio.network.

Class ModelExperimentExportRequest

Export request for one catalogue-model experiment.

Identical to :class:ModelSimulateRequest plus the mode discriminator, so an export resolves through the same fail-closed contract that runs it: the timestep, protocol, randomness and parameter overrides an export claims are the ones the run would use.

Class OdeExperimentExportRequest

Export request for one equation-playground experiment.

Identical to :class:SimulateRequest plus the mode discriminator.


Module studio.api.security

Function install_studio_security_middleware(app, context)

Install request limits, policy checks, and response security headers.

Verify binary seeds and emit the existing path-free restore receipt.

Parameters

context : StudioJobContext Registered worker context holding bounded metadata and checkpoint seeds. payload : mapping Exactly restore_plan and source_status from the source job. The original materializer validates lengths and digests before loading.

Returns

dict[str, object] Restore evidence also written as the canonical JSON artifact. Loaded tensor state remains inside this worker and is not returned.

Raises

ValueError Envelope, plan, seed integrity or restricted checkpoint loading fails. StudioJobArtifactUnavailable A required submission seed is absent.


Module studio.api.training_weights

Module studio.behavior_probe

Class BehaviorObservation

One reproducibility-checked observation at a single drive current.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-compatible observation.

Class ModelBehaviorProfile

The measured behavioural envelope of one model over the current sweep.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-compatible behaviour profile.

Function derive_behavior_tags(observations)

Derive the behaviour tags from a model's sweep observations.

Pure and side-effect free, so the tag logic is testable without running any simulation. Excitability is read from the sign of the response (robust even for stochastic models); the firing-pattern tags are read only from reproducible observations, and are withheld entirely for a stochastic model.

Parameters

observations: The per-current observations, in any order. stochastic: Whether the model's spike train failed to reproduce at some drive.

Returns

tuple[str, ...] The validated, sorted behaviour tags. Empty when no current could be driven (an honest "no measured behaviour").

Function probe_model_behavior(name)

Probe one model across the current sweep and derive its behaviour tags.

Never raises for a model that cannot be driven: each failed drive is recorded as an error observation and the profile is still returned.

Function probe_all_models()

Probe every catalogue model and return a recordable evidence manifest.

The manifest is the source the fast catalogue gate compares descriptors against: a per-model tag set plus the sweep configuration and digests, so a committed behavior_tags field can be checked for equality with the measurement without re-running any simulation.

Function load_behavior_evidence()

Load the recorded behaviour evidence manifest.

Raises

FileNotFoundError If the manifest has not been generated.

Function behavior_tags_for(name, evidence)

Return the recorded behaviour tags for a model (empty if unrecorded).

Function safe_environment()

Collect only the privacy-safe, aggregatable host facts.

Function run_local_benchmark(n_channels, n_taps, repeats, seed)

Time the DCLS kernel across the in-process-safe backends on this machine.

Returns a fully-formed submission (schema scpn.benchmark.submission.v1) that the caller may inspect and, opt-in, hand to :func:store_contribution. Julia is never run in the server process (see :data:sc_neurocore.studio.dcls.IN_PROCESS_REFUSED_BACKENDS) and is reported as parity-verified offline rather than timed live.

Function validate_submission(payload)

Return a list of schema/privacy violations; empty means the payload is OK.

Function store_contribution(payload, handle)

Validate and append a submission to the local databank (opt-in path).

Raises ValueError with the joined violations if the payload fails schema or privacy validation, so an invalid or identifying submission never lands.

Function load_databank()

Return every stored contribution (already free of identifying fields).

Function databank_leaderboard()

Aggregate the databank into a per-CPU, per-backend speed-up leaderboard.


Module studio.bit_true_execution

  • n_steps()
  • Number of executed steps.
  • decoded()
  • Return every state trace decoded to float64 (word / 2**fraction).
  • spike_steps()
  • Return the raw step indices at which the kernel spiked.

Function native_tool_version(path, name)

Return the first version line a tool prints, or a stable placeholder.

Function harness_main(neuron, module_name, data_width)

Return the C main that streams input words in and state rows out.

The harness reads little-endian int64 input words from the file named by its first argument, calls <module>_step once per word and appends one binary row &#91;spike, <state words…>&#93; of int64 to the file named by its second argument. Binary rows avoid any text formatting of the words on either side.

Function run_bittrue_kernel(neuron)

Compile the neuron's bit-true kernel and run it under drive_words.

Parameters

neuron: Equation neuron whose equations, parameters, threshold and reset rules are lowered (method must be euler or map). data_width, fraction: Fixed-point word geometry. overflow, rounding: Accumulate overflow and product rounding policies of the kernel. drive_words: One already-encoded signed input word per step. The caller is responsible for representability; a word outside the data_width range is rejected here rather than wrapped. module_name: Identifier for the generated kernel. timeout_seconds: Budget for each of the compile and the run.

Returns

BitTrueTrace Words and spikes of every step.

Raises

NativeToolUnavailable When no C compiler is installed. NativeExecutionError When compilation or execution fails or times out. ValueError For an empty or oversized drive, a word outside the format, or a kernel configuration the generator rejects.


Module studio.candidate_diff

Function compare_expressions(parent, candidate)

Compare two equations as text and as mathematics.

Returns

dict status is unchanged (same text), equivalent (equal after simplification), changed (with difference, candidate minus parent), undecided (too large to simplify here) or not_comparable (with reason).

Function diff_models(parent, candidate)

Return what candidate changes against parent, section by section.

Both are Universal DSL schema documents.

Function diff_candidate(document)

Diff a validated candidate against the catalogue model it names as parent.

Returns

dict The diff, or a statement of why there is none: the candidate names no parent, or the parent has no canonical schema to compare with.


Module studio.candidate_package

Class CandidateDiagnostic

One problem with a candidate, located by a JSON pointer.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the diagnostic as the API reports it.

Class CandidateValidation

The outcome of validating one candidate document.

  • Whether the document has no problem.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the validation as the API reports it.

Function candidate_sha256(document)

Return the digest of a candidate's canonical JSON form.

Function validate_candidate(document)

Validate a candidate document and locate every problem.

Parameters

document: The parsed candidate package. catalogue: Registered catalogue model names; taken from the registry when omitted. A candidate may not take a catalogue model's name, and its parent must be one.

Returns

CandidateValidation The problems, each with a JSON pointer, and the document digest when it is an object.


Module studio.candidate_run

Class CandidateRejected

The candidate is not valid, so it is not run.

  • init(validation)

Function require_valid_candidate(document)

Refuse a candidate that is not valid.

Raises

CandidateRejected Carrying the located validation, when the candidate has any problem.

Function simulate_candidate(document)

Simulate a valid candidate under a constant current.

Raises

CandidateRejected When the candidate is not valid; the exception carries the validation. ValueError When steps is outside 1 .. MAX_CANDIDATE_STEPS.

Function run_reference_tests(document)

Run every reference test a valid candidate proposes.

Each result states what was observed and, per expectation, whether it held.

Function review_packet(document)

Assemble the review packet of a valid candidate.

The packet carries the candidate unchanged, its validation, its diff against the parent, the reference-test results, the environment that produced them and what the packet does not establish, all under one digest.


Module studio.catalogue_query

Class CatalogueQueryRejected

A query names a filter value the catalogue cannot hold.

Class CatalogueQuery

What a catalogue query asks for; every field left at its default is no filter.

  • from_params(cls, params)
  • Build a query from HTTP query parameters, refusing what cannot be one.

Function query_catalogue(query)

Return the identities query admits and the facet counts around them.

Returns

dict schema_version, the corpus_revision the answer was computed on, total registered identities, matched count, the matching models (names, sorted) and facets: for each facet, the count per value over the models every other filter admits; for the verified tiers and verified_perfect, counts over the matched models.


Module studio.characterize

Function characterize_model(simulate_fn, base_config)

Run a full characterisation suite on a neuron model.

Returns a dict with: - trace: simulation result at default current - pattern: firing pattern classification - fi_curve: firing rate vs current (20 points) - threshold_current: estimated rheobase (lowest current that produces spikes) - max_rate: maximum firing rate in the f-I sweep - isi_stats: ISI statistics at default current - sensitivity: top 5 most sensitive parameters - state_var_ranges: min/max of each state variable


Module studio.codegen

Function generate_experiment_script(spec, request)

Generate a standalone script that reproduces one resolved experiment.

Parameters

spec : ExperimentSpec The resolved experiment the script must reproduce. request : dict The request fields that re-resolve to spec; a drawn seed must already be pinned (see :func:~sc_neurocore.studio.replay_pack.pinned_request).

Returns

str Python source. It re-resolves the request, refuses on a digest mismatch, runs the experiment through the public runner and reports the spike count, the effective time step and the final state.

Function generate_replay_script(pack_filename)

Generate a script that replays a saved pack and compares it in full.

Parameters

pack_filename : str Name of the studio.replay-pack.v2 file the script reads, relative to the script's working directory.

Returns

str Python source that verifies, runs and judges the pack, and exits 0 for reproduction, 1 for mismatch or 2 for refusal before execution. Refusal details are JSON on standard error, matching the public CLI.

Function generate_oneliner(spec, request)

Generate a copy-paste one-liner that runs the same experiment.

Parameters

spec : ExperimentSpec The resolved experiment. Its source decides nothing here; the request carries everything the contract needs. request : dict The request fields that re-resolve to spec.

Returns

str A single line for a notebook or a python -c invocation. It runs the same effective experiment as the exported script; it does not check the digest, so use the script when reproducibility must be proven.


Module studio.compile_traceability

Class StudioCompileTraceability

Path-free source-to-RTL provenance for a Studio compile result.

Parameters

equations: ODE equation strings submitted by the operator. threshold: Optional spike-threshold expression. reset: Optional reset expression. params: Numeric parameter overrides used by the compiler. init: Initial state values supplied with the request. module_name: RTL module name requested by the operator. verilog: Generated Verilog/SystemVerilog source. source: Stable source-kind label for the compile request. output_language: RTL language emitted by the backend compiler. evidence_classification: Evidence lane label consumed by Studio evidence bundles. status: Terminal status for this compile traceability object. source_payload_override: Optional path-free payload for non-ODE sources such as catalogue models.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the public, path-free traceability payload.

Function build_compile_traceability()

Build path-free traceability for an equation-to-RTL compile result.

Parameters

equations: ODE equation strings submitted by the operator. threshold: Optional spike-threshold expression. reset: Optional reset expression. params: Numeric parameter overrides used by the compiler. init: Initial state values supplied with the request. module_name: RTL module name requested by the operator. verilog: Generated Verilog/SystemVerilog source.

Returns

StudioCompileTraceability Immutable traceability record with stable public JSON conversion.

Raises

ValueError If no equations are supplied.

Function build_model_compile_traceability()

Build path-free traceability for catalogue-model RTL compilation.


Module studio.compiler

Function build_ir_from_equation(equations, params, threshold, reset, dt)

Build an SC IR graph from ODE equations.

Uses the Rust ScGraphBuilder to construct a stochastic computing IR that represents the neuron's ODE as a hardware pipeline: input current → encode → multiply (leak, gain) → LIF step → output spike.

Function verify_ir(ir_text)

Parse and verify an IR text representation.

Function emit_systemverilog(ir_text)

Parse IR text and emit synthesisable SystemVerilog.

Function emit_sv_from_equation(equations, params, threshold, reset, init, module_name)

Direct equation → SystemVerilog via the Python equation compiler.

Function cosim_traces(equations, threshold, reset, params, init, dt, duration, current)

Run the float64 reference and the bit-true fixed-point kernel side by side.

This is the precision comparison of :func:sc_neurocore.studio.precision_compare.precision_compare: the fixed-point trace is the generated bit-true kernel executed natively, not a float run with rounded parameters.


Module studio.dcls

Function probe_backends()

Report each backend's in-process status without ever crashing.

Each entry is {backend, available, live}: live is False for a backend the server never runs in its own process (:data:IN_PROCESS_REFUSED_BACKENDS), in which case available reflects its declared support rather than a live probe.

Function dcls_benchmark()

Return the recorded multi-backend throughput benchmark, or None.

These are pre-measured numbers from benchmarks/results — a CPU-shielded run on a known host — not a live timing, so the Studio reports honest, reproducible figures with their measurement context rather than noisy per-request samples. Backends are ordered fastest-measured-first; Python is the 1x reference floor.

Function dcls_kernel_info()

Describe the DCLS-max kernel: provenance, fixed-point contract, evidence.

Function dcls_tent_profile(centre_q88, sigma_q88, n_taps)

Return the per-tap triangular gate profile of a learnable tent kernel.

Each delay tap t receives a Q8.8 gate from :func:tent_gate_q88; the profile is what the learnable centre/sigma shape and what the synapse convolves the spike taps against.

Function dcls_forward_parity(spikes, weights_q88, centre_q88, sigma_q88)

Run the contraction on every available backend and report the parity.

The Python floor is the reference; each accelerated backend must reproduce its Q8.8 output bit-for-bit. The returned bit_exact flag is the evidence that the learnable-delay kernel is hardware-faithful across the whole stack.


Module studio.event_training_budget

Function admit_event_training_input(contract, batch_size)

Check the operator's budget for encoded inputs and loader collation.

Parameters

contract: Structurally validated temporal input and complete split plan. batch_size: Requested positive batch size. Accounting uses the largest actual batch possible in the selected training and evaluation parts.

Returns

dict Path-free accounting receipt with explicit sample, collation and boolean encoding buffers, dimensions and operator limit.

Raises

ValueError Batch size cannot be represented by the loader, the operator limit is invalid, or the accounted input buffers exceed that limit.

Notes

This is an admission budget for input tensors, not a bound on total process memory. Raw recording arrays, model parameters, optimiser state, activations and library overhead require the worker's separate resource limits. No tensor is allocated to calculate this receipt.


Module studio.event_training_contract

Class EventTrainingContract

Portable event data custody, with no operator filesystem path.

Attributes

manifest: Every dataset file, sample, label, group and publisher declaration. split: Complete partition of one published source split by whole groups. encoder: Explicit event window, channel layout and late-event semantics. train_split, evaluation_split: Distinct non-empty parts of the plan used for optimisation and scoring.

Parameters

payload: Portable manifest, split, encoder and selected part names. dataset: Dataset requested by the training configuration. timesteps: Training window; must equal the declared encoder window.

Returns

EventTrainingContract Structurally verified declaration. Disk verification is a separate required admission step and is repeated by the training worker.

Raises

ValueError If the declaration, groups, geometry, polarity, time window or selected optimisation/evaluation parts cannot be honoured.


Module studio.event_training_data

Class EventTrainingDataset

Read and encode an admitted plan's samples lazily for a Torch loader.

Parameters

root: Verified operator root. contract: Portable file, split and encoder custody. part: A declared split part used by the training or evaluation loader.

  • len()
  • Return the number of samples in this plan part.
  • getitem(index)
  • Return one float spike tensor (timesteps,channels) and label.

Function event_training_loaders(contract, batch_size)

Build lazy train/evaluation loaders after verifying the full manifest.

Parameters

contract: Structurally resolved manifest, plan and encoder. batch_size: Requested batch size. Incomplete final batches are retained.

Returns

tuple Torch loaders whose batches have shape (batch,timesteps,channels). The runner transposes the first two axes for SpikingNet.


Module studio.evidence_chain

  • verdict_counts()
  • Return how many subjects reached each verdict.
  • unverified()
  • Return every entry that did not verify, including unsealed ones.
  • contradicted()
  • Return every entry whose verdict contradicts the rest of the pack.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the chain document written beside a bundle manifest.

Function verify_evidence_chain(subjects)

Verify a whole pack of evidence against its own receipts.

Parameters

subjects : mapping of str to mapping Pack-relative name to payload, as read back from the exported files. now : datetime, optional Verification time recorded in the report.

Returns

EvidenceChainReport One verdict per subject, plus whether the pack verified as a whole.

Raises

EvidenceReceiptError If a receipt is present but cannot be read. A malformed receipt is a broken pack, not a subject that merely failed.

  • Return the dependency as it is written into a receipt.

Class EvidenceReceipt

What one piece of evidence is, rests on, and was produced under.

Attributes

receipt_id : str Content address <lane>.<first 32 characters of the seal>.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the receipt block as it is embedded in a subject payload.

Function subject_of(payload)

Returns

dict The payload without :data:EVIDENCE_RECEIPT_KEY.

Function build_evidence_receipt(payload)

Seal a payload and describe what it rests on.

Parameters

payload : mapping The evidence payload. Any receipt already present is excluded from the seal, so re-sealing an exported payload reproduces the same receipt. lane : str Controlled evidence class. status : str Terminal status of the producing action. binding : str produced or exported; see :data:EvidenceBinding. scope : mapping of str to str Identity fields the subject was produced under. depends_on : sequence of EvidenceDependency Inputs this evidence rests on. produced_at_utc : str Second-precision UTC timestamp, Z-suffixed.

Returns

dict A new payload carrying :data:EVIDENCE_RECEIPT_KEY.

Function read_evidence_receipt(payload)

Return the receipt embedded in a payload, or None when absent.

Parameters

payload : mapping A payload that may carry a receipt.

Returns

EvidenceReceipt or None The parsed receipt, or None for a payload written before receipts existed.

Raises

EvidenceReceiptError If a receipt is present but malformed. A receipt that cannot be read is never treated as an absent one.

Function utc_timestamp(now)

Return a second-precision Z-suffixed UTC timestamp.

Parameters

now : datetime, optional Moment to render; the current UTC time when omitted.

Returns

str For example 2026-09-06T11:22:33Z.

Return the identity an analysis result was produced under.

Parameters

payload : mapping The analysis result, carrying analysis_metadata. request_payload : mapping The request the analysis ran, which names the model when there is one.

Returns

dict of str to str Analysis type, input digest and model class where the request named one.

Function action_scope()

Return the identity of one worker-backed Studio action.

Parameters

job_id : str Job that executed the action; what dependent evidence resolves against. action_kind : str Stable action identifier, such as studio.compile.

Returns

dict of str to str The job and action identity.

Function weight_restore_scope(payload)

Return the identity of a materialised training checkpoint.

The architecture and the weight digest live in the materialisation block, and they are what an attach has to agree with: attaching a checkpoint to a network of a different shape is the wrong-model case for this lane.

Function weight_restore_dependencies(payload)

Return the training job a materialised checkpoint rests on.

Function weight_restore_attach_scope(payload)

Return the identity of a checkpoint attached to a new training run.

Function weight_restore_attach_dependencies(payload)

Function seal_sha256(value)

Return the SHA-256 digest of the canonical form of value.

Parameters

value : object Any JSON-shaped value: None, bool, int, float, str, a mapping with string keys, or a sequence of the same.

Returns

str Lowercase 64-character hexadecimal digest.

Raises

EvidenceSealError If the value contains anything that would not survive a JSON round trip through the browser unchanged.

Function canonical_seal_text(value)

Return the canonical JSON text used as the seal input.

Parameters

value : object The value to encode.

Returns

str Canonical JSON: object keys in code-point order, no insignificant whitespace, numbers in the shared normal form, minimal string escapes.

Raises

EvidenceSealError If the value is not JSON-shaped, carries a non-finite float, an integer no double holds exactly, or an unpaired surrogate.


Module studio.experiment_spec

Class ExperimentRejected

Raised when a request cannot become one effective experiment.

Parameters

field : str Request field that failed. reason : str Deliberately authored reason; never generated exception text. execution_mode : {"refused", "job_required"} job_required when the run is valid but too large for the synchronous route and must be submitted as a job.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class ExperimentSpec

The resolved, digest-bound specification of one Studio run.

public is the path-free specification (with experiment_sha256); run_kwargs is the executable material for the run entrypoint and is never returned to a client; cacheable is False for a fresh stochastic trial.

  • init(source, public, run_kwargs, cacheable, n_steps, dt, duration_ms)
  • Snapshot inputs without retaining mutable aliases to callers or exports.
  • public()
  • Return an independent JSON projection of the sealed specification.
  • run_kwargs()
  • Return independent execution inputs; mutations cannot alter this run.
  • experiment_sha256()
  • Digest of the public specification: the cache key of the run.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free experiment specification.

Raises

ModelInputError From the run contract (unknown model, parameter, unsupported step). ExperimentRejected Seed on a deterministic model, seed given twice, no complete step or an oversized run.

Function resolve_ode_experiment(request)

Resolve an equation-playground request into its effective experiment.

Raises

ExperimentRejected Unparsable equation, initial value for an undeclared variable, seed on noise-free equations, no complete step or an oversized run.

Function resolve_experiment(request)

Resolve a model or equation request into its effective experiment.

Function run_experiment(spec)

Execute a resolved experiment and attach its specification to the result.

Raises

ModelInputError, ModelSimulationFailure, ValueError From the run entrypoints.


Module studio.firing_pattern

Function classify_firing_pattern(spikes, n_steps, dt)

Classify the firing pattern of a spike train.

Parameters

spikes : list of int Step indices at which the run spiked, in ascending order. n_steps : int Number of steps the run executed; with dt it gives the duration the rate is computed over. dt : float Time step in milliseconds.

Returns

dict pattern (silent, single_spike, bursting, adapting, tonic, irregular or chaotic) and a human description. Every pattern except silent also carries rate_hz; every pattern with at least three spikes carries isi_cv; a burst additionally carries burst_isi_ms and inter_burst_ms.


Module studio.model_capabilities

Function model_capabilities(name)

Return what each silicon operation can do for name here, or None.

Parameters

name: A registered catalogue model. tool_status: An EDA tool snapshot as :func:~sc_neurocore.studio.synthesis.check_tools returns; taken now when omitted. formal_inventory: The catalogue's formal-job inventory.

Returns

dict or None None for a name the catalogue does not hold.


Module studio.model_catalogue

Class ModelMetadataError

Raised when Studio model metadata loading fails for a known model.

Class ModelDocumentationUnavailable

Raised when no reference-page directory is installed at all.

Distinct from a model simply having no page: the first is a packaging state that applies to every model, the second is a fact about one. Reporting the first as the second blames the model for the distribution.

Function readiness_seal_payload()

Return the verified-readiness seal of every registered catalogue model.

Function corpus_revision(models)

Return a digest identifying the catalogue corpus and its health.

Two clients holding the same revision hold the same identities in the same metadata states. The digest changes when a model is added or removed and when any entry's metadata state changes, so a client can tell a healthy corpus from a degraded one of the same size.

Parameters

models : list of dict Catalogue entries as :func:list_models returns them.

Returns

str A 16-character hexadecimal digest.

Function list_models()

Return declared metadata for every registered neuron model.

Each entry is built from the model's committed descriptor (family, category, maturity, provenance, parameter and state counts). Models without a descriptor fall back to code introspection with an inferred category and metadata_state "unavailable".

Every registered model is returned. A model whose metadata cannot be read is reported with metadata_state "invalid" and a metadata_error, never dropped: an omitted row shows a smaller success count instead of a fault, and silently narrows every consumer that derives its scope from this list — the runtime-state conformance matrix among them.

Results are cached after the first call. Concurrent first calls build the list once; the others wait for that build and return the same list.

Returns

list of dict One entry per registered model, sorted by identity.

Function get_model_detail(name)

Return the full declared metadata view for a single model.

Function model_facets()

Return the catalogue facet taxonomy, counts, and corpus health.

Returns

dict total registered identities, a corpus_revision digest, a metadata_states census, the invalid_models by name, and the family, maturity, behaviour and tier facets.

Function documentation_root()

Return the directory holding the per-model reference pages, or None.

Returns

pathlib.Path or None The packaged directory when the distribution carries one, otherwise the checkout's docs/api/models when running from a working tree, and None when neither is present.

Function model_documentation(name)

Return the rendered reference documentation for a model, or None.

The per-model reference page lives at docs/api/models/<module>.md in a checkout and at sc_neurocore/studio/model_docs/<module>.md in a distribution that packages them. The Studio serves the Markdown so the documentation is browsable next to the live model.

Returns

dict or None The page, or None when this model has none.

Raises

ModelDocumentationUnavailable When no reference-page directory is installed. Every model is then undocumented for the same reason, which is a fact about the distribution and not about any model.


Module studio.model_compile_configuration

Class ResolvedModelCompileConfiguration

Validated schema, compiler options and instantiated universal neuron.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free configuration attached to Studio evidence.
  • to_verilog()
  • Compile the resolved neuron with the exact selected fixed-point geometry.

Function resolve_model_compile_configuration(payload)

Validate a model-mode compiler payload and instantiate its canonical schema.

The Q-format must be one Studio compiles at, and the neuron, with the requested parameter overrides, step and integrator, must be representable in it: a value the format would wrap, or a non-zero parameter, constant, initial state or step it would round to zero, refuses the compile rather than producing RTL for a different neuron.


Module studio.model_cosim

Class StimulusPhase

One stretch of a co-simulation schedule.

word is held on the input for steps cycles, after a reset of the neuron to its initial state when reset_before is set.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON projection.

Class ModelCosimExecution

Public parity report plus complete private artifacts for job custody.

Class PhaseSimulation

What one RTL and generated-kernel run printed, and the sources it ran.

Function stress_schedule(current_q, data_width)

Return the fixed stress schedule run after the requested one.

It holds the most negative and then the most positive input word, so the accumulate commit saturates in both directions; resets the neuron mid-run; replays the requested input from the initial state; and ends at zero input. Every phase starts after the requested run, from a reset neuron.

Function run_model_cosim(configuration)

Compile and compare real C-reference and RTL state traces cycle by cycle.

The requested constant current runs for n_steps cycles, then the :func:stress_schedule runs in the same simulation; bit_exact holds only when both traces agree. current must lie inside the Q-format's range, since an input word outside it would wrap.

Function simulate_phases(neuron, rtl_source, module_name, phases)

Run rtl_source under Icarus and the generated C kernel through phases.

rtl_source must be the RTL of neuron compiled at the same word, overflow and rounding the kernel is generated with. Each prints one row per step: the spike and every state word.

Raises

ValueError No bit-true kernel mirrors neuron at this configuration. RuntimeError A tool is unavailable or a command fails.


Module studio.model_numeric_contracts

Function studio_numeric_contracts(neuron)

Return the hardware numeric contract of neuron at every candidate format.

Parameters

neuron: The instantiated schema neuron Studio would compile.

Returns

dict Contract per :data:STUDIO_Q_FORMATS label, in that order.

Function bit_true_mirrored(schema_name, integrator, q_format)

Return whether a generated bit-true C kernel mirrors the schema's RTL.

The co-simulation compares the RTL with that kernel, so an integrator is offered for it only when the kernel exists for the neuron as compiled with that integrator.


Module studio.model_run_contract

Class ModelInputError

Raised when a Studio model-run request is rejected before any simulation step.

Parameters

model : str or None Catalogue identity the request named, or None when the name itself was not a string. field : str Dotted request field that failed (name, params.tau_m, dt, constructor, step, protocol, current, duration). reason : str Deliberately authored reason; never generated exception text.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class ModelSimulationFailure

Raised when a validated model run fails numerically at a specific step.

Parameters

model : str Catalogue identity of the failed run. backend : {"python", "rust"} Backend that executed the failing step. step : int Zero-based step index at which the failure was detected. time_ms : float Simulated time of that step in milliseconds. diagnostic : str Deliberately authored failure reason, optionally naming a state variable. Original faults remain in the exception cause.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class ParameterContract

One numerically overridable constructor field of a model class.

Attributes

name : str Constructor keyword. kind : {"float", "int"} Numeric kind the model declares; int fields reject fractional values. default : float or int or None Declared default, or None when the field defaults to None.

Class ModelParameterContracts

Overridable numeric fields and the reasons other fields are not inputs.

Class DriveContract

How the Studio current protocol is delivered to step.

Attributes

parameter : str Name of the first step parameter after self. kind : {"float", "int"} Declared type of that parameter; int models require integral samples. positional_only : bool Whether the parameter must be passed positionally.

Class ModelRunInputs

Validated effective inputs of one model run before any step executes.

  • effective_parameters()
  • Return every overridable field with the value the run will use.
  • instantiate()
  • Construct the model with the validated keywords; never retry or substitute.

Class DriveTrace

Validated current-injection protocol resolved against the run inputs.

Function bounded_diagnostic(exc)

Return a bounded exception description for local diagnosis only.

This text includes interpreter and library messages and must not be used in a caller-facing refusal or response.

Function model_parameter_contracts(cls)

Inventory the numerically overridable constructor fields of cls.

Parameters

cls : type Catalogue model class (dataclass or plain class with keyword defaults).

Returns

ModelParameterContracts Overridable fields keyed by name plus the reason each other constructor field is not an input (private state, derived init=False field, factory-initialised field, non-numeric type).

Function model_drive_contract(model, cls)

Derive how the current protocol enters cls.step; reject unsatisfiable steps.

Raises

ModelInputError When step takes no drive input or requires further inputs without defaults that the Studio current protocol cannot supply.

Function declared_macro_step(name)

Return the sub-step and macro step of a model that steps in macro steps.

A model profile states how long one public step() lasts (numerical.macro_step). For most models that is dt. A few conductance models (Hodgkin-Huxley, Connor-Stevens, Wang-Buzsaki) run a fixed macro step of substeps sub-steps of dt per call, and the Studio used to time every call as dt: their time axis was short by the factor substeps and every rate long by it (Hodgkin-Huxley at 10 µA/cm² reported 6330 Hz instead of 63 Hz).

Parameters

name : str Catalogue class name.

Returns

tuple of (float, float) or None (sub-step dt, macro step) in ms when the profile declares a time-subdividing macro step longer than dt; None when a call lasts dt or the model has no executable profile.

Function macro_step_refusal(name)

Say why a macro-stepping model cannot join a network, or None.

A network advances every population once per dt; a model whose step() is a longer macro step would run a slower clock than its neighbours, and every projection between them would be mistimed.

Parameters

name : str Catalogue class name.

Returns

str or None The reason, or None when one call of the model lasts one dt.

Function resolve_model_run_inputs(name, param_overrides, dt)

Validate a model-run request against the model's own constructor contract.

Parameters

name : object Catalogue identity; must be a registered class name. param_overrides : Mapping[str, object] or None Constructor overrides. Every key must be an overridable numeric field; every value a finite number of the declared kind. dt : object Explicit timestep in milliseconds, or None for the model default. A model whose step is a fixed class attribute accepts only that value; a model without any timestep accepts only the Studio default.

Returns

ModelRunInputs Effective inputs ready for construction. No model is constructed here.

Raises

ModelInputError On any unknown, mistyped, non-finite, fractional-integer or unsupported input, naming the field and reason.

Function resolve_drive_trace(inputs)

Validate the injection protocol and build the sample trace for the run.

Raises

ModelInputError On an unsupported protocol, non-finite current, non-positive duration or frequency, a duration shorter than one step, or fractional samples for a model whose step declares an integer drive.

Function run_receipt(inputs, trace)

Return the effective-input receipt attached to a successful run payload.

Parameters

inputs, trace : ModelRunInputs, DriveTrace The resolved run. backend : {"python", "rust"} Backend that executed the steps. recorded_state : tuple of str Declared variables recorded at every step. excluded_state : tuple of (name, reason) Declared variables not recorded per step and why. display_points : int Number of points in the display projection (the raw result keeps every step; see raw and display on the payload).


Module studio.model_scan

Class ModelScanEntry

Path-free firing-pattern classification for one Studio model.

A model that could not be driven by the scan's constant current carries the error pattern and a non-empty error_type so the failure is visible in the result rather than aborting the whole scan.

  • is_error()
  • True when this entry records a simulation failure.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-compatible model scan entry.

Class StudioModelScanManifest

Path-free metadata for one complete Studio model scan.

Parameters

current: Constant input current used for each model simulation. duration: Simulation duration used for each model scan run. model_count: Number of successfully classified models in the result. pattern_counts: Count of each detected firing-pattern label. input_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the scan configuration. result_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the returned model classifications. evidence_classification: Controlled evidence class for the scan workflow. status: Controlled terminal status for the scan workflow.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON-compatible model scan metadata.

Function scan_all_models(current, duration)

Simulate every model at a given current and classify its firing pattern.

Results are cached per (current, duration) pair so a scan for one configuration cannot be served as evidence for another configuration.

Parameters

current, duration : float The constant operating point every model is driven at. should_stop : callable, optional Consulted before each model. A scan that is asked to stop raises :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.platform.jobs_models.StudioJobCancelled and caches nothing: a partial sweep is not a scan of the catalogue, and serving one as if it were would understate the catalogue silently.

Raises

StudioJobCancelled should_stop returned True before the sweep finished.


Module studio.model_simulate

Class RustStudioBackendUnavailable

Raised when the Studio Rust batch-simulation path is unavailable.

Class RustStudioBackendError

Raised when the Studio Rust batch-simulation path fails at runtime.

Function simulate_model(name, param_overrides, dt, duration, current, protocol, frequency_hz, use_fast_path, max_steps, bias)

Simulate a named catalogue model under a fail-closed input contract.

Parameters

name : str Registered catalogue class name. param_overrides : dict[str, float] or None Constructor overrides; every key must be an overridable numeric field of the model and every value a finite number of the declared kind. dt : float or None Timestep in milliseconds. None uses the model default. A model whose step is a fixed class attribute accepts only that value; a model without any timestep accepts only the Studio default of 0.1 ms. duration : float Requested run length in milliseconds; capped at max_steps steps and reported as steps_truncated in the receipt. current : float Protocol amplitude; must be finite. Integer-drive models additionally require every sample of the protocol to be integral. protocol : {"constant", "step", "ramp", "pulse", "sine"} Current-injection protocol. frequency_hz : float Sine frequency; must be positive and finite. bias : float Level a sine oscillates about; must be finite, and zero for any other protocol. use_fast_path : bool Allow the Rust batch backend when no override or explicit dt is given. That lane transports one scalar trace, the soma voltage, and no initial snapshot (sc-neurocore.runtime-state-packet.v1). It records that trace only under a name the model declares: a model whose declared state contains no v records no state at all, and its state_layout says so. Callers that need complete-state custody pass False. max_steps : int Step cap of this caller (MAX_STEPS for synchronous routes; a job may pass more). A longer request is truncated and declared as steps_truncated; the experiment contract refuses it before reaching this point.

Returns

dict[str, Any] The display projection (time, states, current_trace), spike indices and statistics, the observation clock, the state_layout with its custody verdict, exact initial_state and final_state snapshots, the full-resolution raw block, the display sample-index map and an effective_inputs receipt.

Raises

ModelInputError When any input is unknown, mistyped, non-finite, fractional for an integer field, unsupported for the model, or when the model cannot be constructed or driven under the request. ModelSimulationFailure When a step raises or a recorded variable is non-finite or changes kind or shape; the failure names the backend, the step index and the simulated time at which that step started (step * dt). RustStudioBackendError When an available Rust backend fails for a reason other than an unsupported model.


Module studio.network

Function simulate_ei_network(n_exc, n_inh, w_ee, w_ei, w_ie, w_ii, p_conn, ext_rate, duration, dt)

Simulate a balanced E-I network. Uses Rust engine when available.


Module studio.network_execution

Class GraphExecutionFailure

Raised when a lowered graph fails while running.

Parameters

reason : str Deliberately authored failure reason, optionally naming the population whose state is non-finite.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class LoweredProjection

One public projection with its CSR arrays and the autapses removed.

  • csr_sha256()
  • Digest of the CSR arrays (indptr, indices, data) as int64/int64/float64 bytes.

Class LoweredGraph

The public objects of one resolved graph, ready for Network.run.

  • network_dt_s()
  • Timestep handed to Network.run (seconds; scales stimuli only).
  • n_synapses()
  • Total synapses across every projection.

Function csr_digest(indptr, indices, data)

Return the SHA-256 of the CSR arrays in their canonical dtypes.

Function connectivity_arrays(spec, n_source, n_target)

Return the CSR arrays of spec and the number of autapses removed.

random uses the public Erdős–Rényi generator with the projection seed; all_to_all the public full generator. On a self-projection without autapses the diagonal entries are removed; nothing else is added or dropped.

Function lower_graph(spec)

Build the public network objects of spec without running them.

Function run_lowered_graph(lowered)

Run the reference Python loop; report a raising step or non-finite state.

Raises

GraphExecutionFailure When a neuron step raises or a population ends with a non-finite membrane voltage.

Function graph_result(lowered)

Assemble the public result of a run graph.

Function simulate_graph_spec(spec)

Lower, run and report one resolved graph.

Raises

GraphExecutionFailure From :func:run_lowered_graph.


Module studio.network_graph

Class ModelDiscoveryError

Raised when Studio model discovery cannot produce a trustworthy list.

Class GraphEnvelopeRefusal

A deliberately authored refusal of a Studio graph envelope.

The message describes an envelope rule. Interpreter and library errors are not converted into this type with their original diagnostic text.

Function population_model_admission(name)

Return why catalogue model name cannot form a population, or None.

A population is admissible when the model has a float drive step that the Studio protocol can satisfy and no seed constructor field (every neuron of a population would otherwise share the seed and its noise).

Function population_model_contract(name)

Return the contract a population of model name is validated against.

The canvas creates a population with a model's defaults and then has to let a user change them. It cannot do that honestly from a list of names: which constructor fields are numerically overridable, what kind each is, what it defaults to and why the others are not inputs are all decided by :mod:sc_neurocore.studio.model_run_contract, and a browser that guessed would be a second implementation of the contract, free to drift.

Parameters

name : str Catalogue model name.

Returns

dict or None None when the model is not admissible for a population; otherwise schema_version, model, the parameters a population may override with their kind and default, the unsupported fields with the reason each is not an input, and the drive parameter the Studio protocol delivers the current through.

Function available_models()

Return the names of the catalogue models admissible for populations.

Raises

ModelDiscoveryError When the catalogue yields no admissible model.

Function create_population(label, model, count, neuron_type, x, y, params, drive)

Create a population node for the network canvas.

The node carries the fields the graph schema executes: catalogue model, count, neuron_type, constructor params and the external drive ({"kind": "none"} when omitted). Nothing is validated here; :func:validate_graph reports every problem of the assembled graph.

Function create_projection(source_id, target_id, weight, delay, probability, rule)

Create a projection edge between two populations.

weight is signed (negative for an inhibitory source), delay is in milliseconds and must be a whole number of graph timesteps, rule is random (with probability) or all_to_all.

Function simulate_graph(graph)

Simulate a network graph through the public Network runtime.

Returns {"success": False, "errors": &#91;...&#93;} with every validation message when the graph cannot be resolved, otherwise the studio.network-graph-result.v1 payload of :func:sc_neurocore.studio.network_execution.simulate_graph_spec.

Raises

GraphExecutionFailure When a resolved graph fails while running.

Function graph_to_envelope(graph)

Export a validated network graph as the Studio graph envelope (JSON).

Raises

GraphEnvelopeRefusal When the graph does not validate.

Function envelope_to_graph(nir_data)

Import a Studio graph envelope (JSON), current or legacy, to a network graph.

Every node type must be a catalogue model name, and an unknown type is rejected rather than replaced by a default. Real NIR files are read by :func:sc_neurocore.studio.network_nir.nir_file_to_graph.

A version-2 document carries the population label and each projection's connectivity rule with its probability, seed and autapse decision, so a round trip returns the network that was exported. A version-1 document carried none of those: its edges connect all-to-all, which is what it has always meant, and its populations are named by their identifiers.

The assembled graph is validated against the graph schema with the Studio default timestep, so an import that would not execute (sign conflicts, delays that are not whole default steps, inadmissible models, budgets) is rejected here instead of surfacing later on the canvas.

Raises

GraphEnvelopeRefusal On a malformed payload, a node type that is not a catalogue model, or an assembled graph that does not validate.


Module studio.network_graph_spec

Class GraphRejected

An authored refusal of a graph that cannot form an executable specification.

Graph validation replaces inherited model-constructor diagnostics with fixed reasons before constructing this exception.

Parameters

field : str Dotted request field that failed (populations&#91;1&#93;.count, projections&#91;0&#93;.delay, dt, …). reason : str Bounded, path-free reason.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class GraphIssue

One validation failure: the request field and the human-readable message.

Class DriveSpec

External input of one population, lowered to a public stimulus object.

constant injects current into every neuron at every step (StepCurrent over the whole run); poisson injects weight into a neuron whenever its independent Poisson process at rate_hz fires (PoissonInput); none injects nothing.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free drive block.

Class PopulationSpec

One resolved population: catalogue model, validated constructor inputs, drive.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free population block (effective parameters included).

Class ProjectionSpec

One resolved projection: rule, signed weight, exact delay steps, seed.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free projection block.

Class GraphSpec

The resolved, digest-bound specification of one graph run.

  • neuron_steps()
  • Total neuron updates the run performs (n_neurons * n_steps).
  • population(population_id)
  • Return the population with population_id.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free specification with its graph_sha256 digest.

Function derived_seed(graph_seed, kind, index)

Return the deterministic 32-bit seed of element index of kind.

The seed is spawned from numpy.random.SeedSequence(graph_seed, spawn_key=(kind, index)) so projections and drives draw from independent streams that a direct public-runtime script can reproduce from the graph seed alone.

Function graph_issues(graph)

Return every validation issue of graph in request order (empty = valid).

Function validate_graph(graph)

Validate a network graph and return its error messages (empty = valid).

Structural errors (shapes, ids, endpoints), model-contract errors (unknown model or parameter, timestep the model cannot take, inadmissible drive or randomness), projection errors (sign against the source type, rule and probability conflicts, delays that are not whole timesteps, seeds, autapses) and budget errors (neuron cap, step cap, neuron-step cap) are all reported together.

Function resolve_graph(graph)

Resolve graph into its executable specification.

Raises

GraphRejected With the field and message of the first validation issue.


Module studio.network_hardware

Class HardwareLoweringRefused

The graph holds something the hardware lowering cannot reproduce exactly.

  • init(reasons)

Class LoweredNetwork

A Studio network as the hardware compiler's graph, with its drive lanes.

  • input_sha256()
  • Return the digest every later artefact of this lowering is bound to.

Function lower_graph(graph)

Lower a Studio network graph to the hardware compiler's graph.

Raises

GraphRejected When the graph does not validate. HardwareLoweringRefused When any population, drive or projection cannot be reproduced exactly; the exception lists every reason.

Function lowering_public_dict(lowered)

Return the JSON projection of a lowering: what was compiled, and what it rounds.


Module studio.network_hardware_cosim

Class HardwareCosimUnavailable

The simulation tools the co-simulation needs are not installed.

Class NetworkCosim

The three rasters of one network, and the digests that bind them.

  • rtl_matches_model()
  • Whether the RTL and its bit-true model spike identically on every step.
  • studio_first_divergence()
  • The first step where the RTL and the Studio's run differ, if any.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON receipt of this co-simulation.

Function compile_lowered(lowered)

Compile a lowered network with the direct interconnect the model reproduces.

Function cosimulate(lowered, graph, workdir)

Run the compiled RTL, its bit-true model and the Studio for the same steps.

Parameters

lowered: The lowering of graph. graph: The Studio graph the lowering came from; the Studio's run uses it. workdir: An empty directory the sources, executables and outputs are written to. steps: Steps to run; the graph's own step count when omitted. compiled: The lowering already compiled by :func:compile_lowered; compiled here when omitted.

Raises

HardwareCosimUnavailable When Icarus Verilog or a C compiler is not installed.

Function synthesis_source(compiled)

Return the design to synthesise: the top module and the neurons it instantiates.

The weight ROM and the stochastic-source modules are not instantiated by the direct top module; leaving them out keeps the synthesis tool from choosing one of them as the top.


Module studio.network_nir

Class NIRMappingRefused

A deliberately authored refusal of an unrepresentable graph or NIR file.

Generated parser and library diagnostics remain in the exception cause; only the authored message may be returned to a caller.

Class NIRExport

One written NIR file and what the writing could not carry exactly.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON projection the Studio API serves.

Function graph_to_nir_file(graph)

Export a Studio network graph as a real NIR (HDF5) file.

Raises

GraphRejected When the graph does not validate. NIRMappingRefused When a population's model is not an NIR primitive.

Function nir_file_to_graph(content_base64)

Read an NIR file (base64 of its bytes) into a Studio network graph.

Returns

dict graph (the Studio graph), origin (studio or foreign) and notes (what the reading assumed).

Raises

NIRMappingRefused When the file is not NIR, holds a node the graph cannot represent, or its tensors do not match the Studio network its metadata describes. Malformed file fields receive authored fixed sentences; generated parser and library diagnostics remain only in the exception cause.

Function dense_weight(projection, n_source, n_target)

Return the realised connectivity as a dense &#91;target, source&#93; matrix.


Module studio.network_notebook

Function spike_events_sha256(result)

Digest every spike event of a graph result, in network-wide neuron indices.

Parameters

result: A studio.network-graph-result.v1 payload.

Returns

str SHA-256 over the int64 bytes of the event steps, then the event neurons, sorted by step and then neuron.

Function network_notebook(spec)

Run a resolved graph and return a tutorial notebook that rebuilds it.

Parameters

spec: A graph resolved by :func:~sc_neurocore.studio.network_graph_spec.resolve_graph.

Returns

dict An nbformat 4 notebook. Its metadata carries the graph digest and the sealed spike and connectivity digests of the Studio run.

Raises

GraphExecutionFailure When the graph fails while running.


Module studio.nir_compile

Function compile_nir_graph(graph)

Lower a parsed NIR graph to synthesisable Verilog and return the artefacts.

The result carries interchange_notes: what importing the graph assumed (the timestep, the reset rule, recurrent delays) or approximated.

Function compile_nir_file_bytes(data)

Compile a standard .nir (HDF5) document supplied as raw bytes.

Options are forwarded to :func:compile_nir_graph. The result also records nir_version, the NIR version the document stores (None when it stores none).


Module studio.nullclines

Function nullclines_2d(equations, params, var_names, ranges, grid_size)

Compute both nullclines of a two-variable section of the drift field.

Parameters

equations: Equation strings of the system (dx/dt = f(x, …) or map updates). params: Parameter values. var_names: The two swept variables (x, y); both must be equation variables. ranges: Inclusive (low, high) range per swept variable; a missing range falls back to :data:DEFAULT_RANGES. grid_size: Samples per axis. current: Input current I the field is evaluated at (held constant). held: Values at which every other equation variable is held; an unlisted variable is held at its equation-builder default (0).

Returns

dict var_names, nullcline_0 / nullcline_1 (contour cell corners and the contour cell count), the grid axes, one validity mask per component (1 valid, 0 invalid; rows follow y, columns x), the held variables and input, and the :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.analysis_contract.MetricContract.

Raises

ModelInputError When fewer than two variables are given, a swept variable is not an equation variable, a held name is not an equation variable, a range is degenerate, or an expression references an unknown symbol.


Module studio.platform.action_evidence

Class StudioActionEvidence

Path-free manifest describing one Studio worker-backed action.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free evidence payload.

Function write_studio_action_evidence_manifest(context)

Returns

StudioActionEvidence Path-free evidence payload plus its artifact manifest entry.

Raises

ValueError If any controlled field is invalid or result is not portable JSON.


Module studio.platform.analysis_limits

Class AnalysisBudgetError

Raised when a synchronous analysis request exceeds its execution budget.

Parameters

limit: Which budget dimension was violated. projected: Projected value for the violated dimension (integration steps or simulation count) computed from the request. allowed: Maximum value permitted for the violated dimension. message: Operator-facing summary that must not include local paths or secrets.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free HTTP error detail payload.

Class AnalysisBudget

Ceilings that bound synchronous Studio analysis execution.

Parameters

max_steps_per_simulation: Maximum integration steps (ceil(duration / dt)) for any single simulation in a request. max_total_steps: Maximum summed integration steps across every simulation a request drives (simulation_count * steps_per_simulation for a sweep). max_simulations: Maximum number of simulations a single request may drive, independent of per-simulation cost.

  • post_init()
  • Validate that every budget ceiling is a positive integer.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free budget payload.

Class AnalysisCost

Projected synchronous integration cost of an analysis request.

Parameters

simulation_count: Number of simulations the request drives. steps_per_simulation: Largest single-simulation integration-step count among the request's simulations. total_steps: Summed integration steps across every simulation in the request.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free cost payload.

Class ModelCostFactors

What one model actually costs per millisecond of simulated time.

ceil(duration / dt) is not the work a model does. A model with a substepped integrator advances several times per step, and one carrying many state variables does several times the arithmetic per advance. A budget that ignores both projects the same cost for a one-variable map and a ten-variable conductance model and admits requests it should refuse.

Attributes

dt : float Simulated time of one step() call, resolved from the model rather than assumed: the timestep, or the macro step of a model that runs substeps sub-steps per call. Taking the sub-step here counted a Hodgkin-Huxley run's calls a hundred times over. substeps : int Integrator advances per step, from the model's numerical profile. state_count : int Declared state variables carried per advance, at least one.

  • work_per_step()
  • Return the arithmetic weight of one step relative to a scalar Euler step.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free cost-factor payload.

Function simulation_step_count(duration, dt)

Return the integration-step count for one simulation.

Parameters

duration: Simulated time span in milliseconds. Must be finite and positive. dt: Integration timestep in milliseconds. Must be finite and positive.

Returns

int ceil(duration / dt) integration steps.

Raises

AnalysisBudgetError If duration or dt is non-finite or non-positive. The error uses the "timestep" limit so callers can surface a path-free 422.

Function resolve_request_timestep(dt)

Return the timestep used to project a request's cost.

Parameters

dt: Caller-supplied timestep in milliseconds, or None when the request defers to the named model's default timestep.

Returns

float dt when supplied, otherwise :data:STUDIO_ANALYSIS_REFERENCE_TIMESTEP_MS. A supplied non-positive dt is returned unchanged so the timestep gate rejects it.

Function resolve_model_cost_factors(name, dt)

Resolve one model's effective timestep, substeps and state count.

Falls back to the reference timestep and scalar weights when the model cannot be resolved: a budget that raises on an unknown name would turn a model-input error into a budget error and report the wrong thing.

Parameters

name : str Catalogue model name. dt : float, optional Requested timestep, or None to take the model's own default.

Returns

ModelCostFactors The factors the projection should use.

Function evaluate_analysis_cost()

Project the cost of a request whose simulations share one duration/dt.

Parameters

simulation_count: Number of simulations the request drives. Must be positive. duration: Shared simulated time span in milliseconds. dt: Shared integration timestep in milliseconds. work_per_step: Arithmetic weight of one step, from :meth:ModelCostFactors.work_per_step. The default of 1 projects a scalar single-substep model, which is what a request with no resolvable model gets.

Returns

AnalysisCost Projected per-simulation and total integration-step counts, weighted by work_per_step.

Raises

AnalysisBudgetError If simulation_count is non-positive ("simulations" limit) or the timestep is invalid ("timestep" limit).

Function evaluate_multi_config_cost(configs)

Project the cost of a request whose simulations have distinct duration/dt.

Parameters

configs: One (duration, dt) pair per simulation the request drives.

Returns

AnalysisCost steps_per_simulation is the largest single-simulation cost and total_steps is the summed cost across configs.

Raises

AnalysisBudgetError If configs is empty ("simulations" limit) or any pair has an invalid timestep ("timestep" limit).

Function evaluate_nullcline_grid_cost()

Project the synchronous point-evaluation cost of a nullcline grid.

Parameters

grid_size: Number of points per axis in the square nullcline grid. equation_count: Number of ODE right-hand-side expressions evaluated at each grid point.

Returns

AnalysisCost Cost projection where each grid point is treated as one synchronous unit of work and steps_per_simulation records the equation evaluations performed at that point.

Raises

AnalysisBudgetError If either count is non-positive. The "simulations" limit is used because the grid point count is checked against the same synchronous request fan-out ceiling as parameter sweeps.

Function evaluate_model_scan_cost()

Project the synchronous simulation cost of a Studio model scan.

Parameters

model_count: Number of catalogue models the scan will simulate. duration: Shared simulated time span in milliseconds. dt: Timestep in milliseconds used for budget projection. Model-scan calls currently defer to model defaults at execution time, so the route uses :data:STUDIO_ANALYSIS_REFERENCE_TIMESTEP_MS for this projection.

Returns

AnalysisCost Cost projection where each catalogue model contributes one synchronous simulation.

Raises

AnalysisBudgetError If model_count is non-positive ("simulations" limit) or the timestep is invalid ("timestep" limit).

Function enforce_analysis_budget(cost, budget)

Reject a projected analysis cost that exceeds the configured budget.

Parameters

cost: Projected request cost from :func:evaluate_analysis_cost or :func:evaluate_multi_config_cost. budget: Active synchronous analysis ceilings.

Raises

Both studio.simulation-run.v2, which the Studio emits, and studio.simulation-run.v1, which older exports carry, are accepted: a bundle assembled from a saved workspace must not refuse the responses that workspace was recorded with. v2 adds the custody fields — raw_sha256 over the full-resolution block and state_custody_complete — so a v1 payload in a bundle records a run whose custody was never established, and says so by their absence. analysis_payloads: Optional Studio analysis responses carrying studio.analysis-result.v1 analysis metadata. model_scan_payloads: Optional Studio model-scan responses carrying studio.model-scan.v1 scan metadata classified as analysis evidence. weight_restore_payloads: Optional Studio training weight-restore responses carrying studio.training.weight-restore.v1 materialization evidence classified as training evidence. weight_restore_attach_payloads: Optional Studio training weight-restore attach responses carrying studio.training.weight-restore-attach.v1 evidence classified as training evidence. default_flow_runs: Optional guided default-flow run responses carrying reproducibility fingerprints. default_flow_attestations: Optional guided default-flow attestations for the supplied run responses. job_records: Completed or failed Studio job records to preserve with their declared artifacts. Artifacts ending in evidence.json must carry the studio.action-evidence.v1 contract and are classified as first-class action evidence in the bundle manifest. artifact_reader: Reader used to fetch verified job artifact bytes. Required when job_records contains artifacts. Returned metadata and bytes are checked against the captured source record before copying; a newer or substituted declaration cannot silently change that snapshot. audit_export: Optional path-free audit export payload. command_replay: Optional JSON replay metadata, such as API method, route, request digest, and operator note. clock: Optional UTC clock for deterministic tests.

Returns

StudioEvidenceBundleResult Path-free manifest and artifact list for the generated bundle.

Raises

ValueError If replay metadata is not JSON-safe or job artifacts are supplied without an artifact reader.

  • reserve()
  • Take a slot, waiting in the queue when they are all occupied.
  • release()
  • Give a slot back and wake one waiting submission.
  • snapshot()
  • Return the current admission state.

Module studio.platform.jobs_admission_recovery

Function recover_stopped_reservations(ledger)

Release dead-owner queues and terminal in-process work after reconciliation.

A dead supervisor proves its threads ended, not its child processes. Keep process reservations unless stored identity proves their group stopped. Unprobeable identities and expiry alone never justify release. The caller reconciles job state first; this function never invents outcomes.


Module studio.platform.jobs_admission_replay

Class StorageAdmissionReplay

One authenticated requester, server workspace and exact mutation identity.

The trusted storage service computes payload_sha256 from its validated versioned request. A browser trace ID and the legacy job idempotency key do not replace this identity.

Function read_admission_replay(connection)

Return an immutable prior outcome or reject a changed request digest.

Function write_admission_replay(connection)

Write the exact result inside the caller's job/capacity transaction.

Function migrate_worker_custody(connection)

Add worker identity evidence without inferring identities for historical jobs.

Function migrate_admission(connection)

Create shared capacity tables and retain legacy occupied capacity.

The caller owns the migration transaction. Do not use executescript here: it would commit the surrounding migration early. Job records and transition history are not rewritten. Unknown jobs and explicitly unreaped outcomes retain a reservation; their capacity cannot be reclaimed from expiry alone.

Function migrate_storage_admission_replay(connection)

Add immutable exact-outcome replay without inferring legacy request digests.


Module studio.platform.jobs_context

  • close()
  • Close this thread's connection, if it opened one.
  • connection()
  • Return this thread's connection, opening it on first use.
  • transaction()
  • Commit one unit of work; roll back on any failure, even one right after BEGIN.

Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_creation

Function create_job(ledger)

Admit one job, or return the one that already owns its key.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger The ledger to write to. job_id : str Generated identifier for the new job. kind, actor, workspace : str What is running, for whom, and in which workspace. Actor and workspace scope every later read. request_id : str, optional The caller's request correlation id. idempotency_key : str, optional When given, a second submission with the same key by the same actor and workspace returns the first job instead of starting another. experiment_sha256 : str, optional Digest of the effective experiment this job runs, when it has one. admission : mapping, optional The admission decision recorded with the job. training_config : mapping, optional Canonical, bounded training configuration stored with admission. execution_model : {"thread", "process"} How the job is supervised. connection : sqlite3.Connection, optional This ledger's already active transaction, used by shared admission to commit reservation and job together. Other connections are rejected. lease_owner : str, optional Process generation verified by the storage service for a delegated admission. The ordinary in-process path uses this ledger's supervisor.

Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_reads

Function read_pending_purge_count(ledger)

Count all unresolved journal phases without exposing SQL to manager clients.

Function read_purge_snapshot(ledger)

Read at most 1000 intents without recovery, filesystem reads or process probes.

Cursor ordering is lexical by job ID. Pages reflect current database state; concurrent changes can occur between requests. Invalid bounds/cursors raise ValueError before querying, including when called without HTTP validation.

Function read_record(ledger, job_id)

Return one job record, scoped to an actor and workspace when given.

A job that exists but belongs to a different actor or workspace raises :class:KeyError, so an isolated caller cannot tell it apart from a job that never existed.

Function read_records(ledger)

Return records in creation order, scoped to an actor and workspace.

Creation timestamps have one-second resolution, so two jobs submitted in the same second tie. The tie is broken by insertion order (rowid), not by job_id: an id is a digest, and ordering by it made "the latest job" a matter of which random hex sorted higher. Retention decisions read this order, so the wrong archive was kept whenever the ids happened to sort against submission order.

Function read_transitions(ledger, job_id)

Return the append-only transition history of one job, in order.

Function read_live_rows(ledger)

Return the stored rows of every job that has not finished.


Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_recovery

Class StudioJobReconciliation

What startup recovery decided about one job it found alive.

Attributes

job_id : str The job examined. previous_status : StudioJobStatus The status the ledger held before recovery. status : StudioJobStatus The status recovery assigned, or the previous one when it left the job alone because another live supervisor owns it. reason : str Why, in words a runbook can act on.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a path-free JSON representation of this decision.

Function reconcile_ledger(ledger)

Resolve every job left alive by a supervisor that is no longer here.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger The ledger to recover. A lease belonging to this process is probed like any other: constructing another manager or reconciling a live manager does not imply process death. The identity includes a process-start token, so a reused PID does not inherit an earlier process's jobs.

Returns

tuple of StudioJobReconciliation One decision per retained job examined, including those left running. Concurrently purged jobs are omitted; concurrent updates are retained.


Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_rows

Class StudioJobLedgerCorrupt

Raised when the ledger file cannot be read as a Studio job ledger.

Function json_or_none(value)

Decode one stored JSON column, or None.

Function artifacts_from_json(value)

Rebuild an artifact manifest, refusing a malformed one.

Function artifacts_to_json(artifacts)

Serialise an artifact manifest deterministically.

Function record_from_row(row)

Rebuild one immutable public record from its stored row.

Function training_config_from_json(value)

Decode a validated training snapshot, preserving absent legacy values.

A snapshot whose exact stored bytes were validated before, under the same event-input admission limit, is returned as a fresh copy of that result without validating again; any other snapshot is validated in full.


Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_schema

Class StudioJobSubmission

The outcome of asking the ledger to admit one job.

Attributes

record : StudioJobRecord The stored record: the new one, or the existing one when the idempotency key had already been admitted. duplicate : bool True when an earlier submission already owns this idempotency key, so the caller must not start a second run.

Function migrate(connection)

Bring the stored schema forward, refusing a version from the future.

Raises

StudioJobLedgerCorrupt The file was written by a newer schema than this build understands. Downgrading a ledger would silently drop columns, so it is refused.

Function migrate_training_event_data(connection)

Add bounded per-job event custody and refuse mutation after admission.

Parameters

connection : sqlite3.Connection The owning ledger's active schema migration transaction.


Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_supervisor

Function supervisor_identity(pid)

Return host/PID/start identity for this process or an observed local child.

Omit pid for the current process. An explicit pid is a caller observation, not an authenticated assertion. Unavailable metadata yields start token0; registration must refuse that unknown identity instead of certifying it.

Function supervisor_is_alive(identity)

Return whether a supervisor is running, or None when unknowable.

Parameters

identity : str An identity produced by :func:supervisor_identity.

Returns

bool or None True when the process is running, False when it provably is not, and None when this host cannot tell — a malformed identity, a different host, or a platform without process metadata. A zero or malformed start token is unknown, not evidence of process death. A different UID may deny the signal probe; readable matching proc metadata still proves this exact process generation is alive.


Module studio.platform.jobs_ledger_writes

Function transition_job(ledger, job_id, to_status)

Move one job to a new status and append the transition.

The move is refused when the state machine does not allow it, so a terminal record can never be rewritten and an interrupted job can never be quietly completed. Repeating a terminal status is a no-op only when all supplied fields match the stored values; a conflicting retry is refused. Repeating a live status can still record accompanying fields. A supervisor reporting running for a job that is already cancelling keeps the cancellation visible and records only the start time.

With expected_record, a differing current record is returned without changing it. The comparison includes every public field, serialised as JSON to preserve numeric and boolean distinctions, and runs under the write lock.

supervisor names the lease owner acting through a storage service that verified it; None means this ledger's own supervisor. Only the owner's transition renews the lease.

An optional connection must be this ledger's active transaction, allowing the storage authority to commit a terminal record together with the release of its admission reservation.

Raises

ValueError connection is not this ledger's active transaction. KeyError The job is not in the ledger. StudioJobRejected The transition is not allowed from the job's current status, or a supplied field conflicts with the already sealed terminal record.

Function heartbeat_job(ledger, job_id)

Extend a live job's lease, checking its status in the write transaction.

Terminal and absent jobs remain unchanged. The transaction serialises this check with transitions so a finished job cannot acquire another lease. Only the recorded owner can renew a live lease, even after expiry; another supervisor raises StudioJobRejected without changing any stored fields. supervisor is a storage-verified delegated owner; None means this ledger's own supervisor.

Returns

bool True when the lease was renewed, False when the job is absent or already terminal.

Function require_purgeable(connection, job_id)

Refuse missing, active or capacity-retaining jobs before discarding custody.

Function delete_job(ledger, job_id)

Remove one unreserved terminal job, worker identity and transition history.

An optional connection must be this ledger's active transaction, allowing the filesystem purge owner to serialize staging with record deletion.

Raises

KeyError The job is not in the ledger. StudioJobRejected The job is active or retains capacity; its custody is not disposable.


Module studio.platform.jobs_manager

Class StudioJobManager

Start and supervise local Studio jobs inside per-job sandbox directories.

Reading what those jobs did is the custody surface this inherits from :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.platform.jobs_manager_custody.StudioJobCustody.

  • init()
  • Configure bounded execution over the durable job ledger.
  • root()
  • Return the directory holding the ledger and every job's sandbox.
  • submit()
  • Submit one local task to the bounded thread supervisor.
  • submit_process_task()
  • Submit one importable task to an isolated Python process.
  • send_control_command(job_id)
  • Atomically deliver control data to one running process job.
  • cancel(job_id)
  • Request cooperative cancellation for one job.
  • wait(job_id, timeout_seconds)
  • Wait for a local or retained shared-ledger job without changing it.
  • status()
  • Return aggregate path-free manager health.

Module studio.platform.jobs_manager_custody

Class StudioJobCustody

The durable read surface of a Studio job manager.

Every method annotates self as the manager state it needs. The mixin carries no state of its own: it is the reading half of one object, split from the supervising half so each file has one responsibility.

  • record(job_id)
  • Return the durable record for one job, scoped when asked.
  • list_records()
  • Return durable jobs in creation order, scoped when asked.
  • list_snapshot()
  • Return a path-free snapshot of every job visible to the caller.
  • purge_snapshot()
  • Read a bounded global operator journal page without initiating recovery.
  • transitions(job_id)
  • Return the append-only transition history of one job.
  • reconcile()
  • Recover dead supervisors and retry this supervisor's committed purge cleanup.
  • last_reconciliation()
  • Return the decisions of the most recent recovery pass.
  • ledger_path()
  • Return the durable ledger file backing this manager.
  • purge_terminal_record(job_id)
  • Delete one terminal job directory and its in-memory state.
  • read_artifact(job_id, relative_path)
  • Read and verify one manifest-declared artifact.
  • read_live_artifact_bytes(job_id, relative_path)
  • Read one bounded slice from a confined live artifact.
  • unreaped_workers()
  • Return the jobs whose worker was still running when they ended.

Module studio.platform.jobs_manager_supervision

Class StudioJobSupervision

The callbacks a Studio job supervisor makes on its manager.

Each method annotates self as the manager state it needs; the mixin holds no state of its own.


Module studio.platform.jobs_models

Class StudioJobRejected

Raised when a Studio job request violates the local sandbox policy.

Class StudioJobCancelled

Raised inside a cooperative Studio job when cancellation is requested.

Class StudioJobArtifactUnavailable

Raised when a declared Studio job artifact cannot be safely served.

Class StudioJobArtifact

Path-free manifest entry for one Studio job artifact.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a path-free JSON representation of this artifact.

Class StudioJobRecord

Immutable public state for one local Studio job.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return path-free job state suitable for operator APIs.

Class StudioJobResourceProfile

Path-free execution limits for one Studio job kind.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free resource profile.

Class StudioJobStatusSnapshot

Path-free aggregate health for the local Studio job manager.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a JSON-serializable, path-free status snapshot.

Class StudioJobListSnapshot

Path-free list payload for Studio job operator views.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return JSON-serializable job records without filesystem paths.

Class StudioJobArtifactPayload

Verified payload for one declared Studio job artifact.

Class StudioJobPurgeRecord

Operator journal evidence, without filesystem paths or process identity.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return recorded evidence only; neither presence nor completion is inferred.

Class StudioJobPurgeSnapshot

Bounded live journal page; subsequent pages are not a frozen snapshot.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Serialize a versioned operator page with a lexical job-ID cursor.

Module studio.platform.jobs_process_state

Function process_exited(pid)

Return whether every thread of a process has exited.

A zombie still belongs to its process group, so killpg(group, 0) keeps succeeding for it; treating it as running would report every ordinary reap as a failure. A thread-group leader that exits while its other threads run is also shown as a zombie, yet its process still executes, so each thread is checked. A process or thread that vanished during the check has exited.

Function group_survivors(group_id)

Return the process ids still running in one group, zombies excluded.

Function group_is_gone(group_id)

Return whether nothing in the group is still running.


Module studio.platform.jobs_purge

Function purge_terminal_job(manager, job_id)

Purge unreserved job custody without erasing files before a database refusal.

A sibling staging directory retains the bytes until database deletion commits. Existing staging paths are never overwritten. If restoring after an error would overwrite a new path, retain the stage and report failure.


Module studio.platform.jobs_purge_paths

Function sync_directory(path)

Persist directory entry changes or propagate the OS error to recovery.

Function move_without_replace(source, destination)

Move a directory atomically, returning False if the target already exists.

Requires libc/kernel/filesystem renameat2 RENAME_NOREPLACE support. Other errors propagate to the caller's recovery handling; never fall back to a check-then-rename operation that could overwrite a concurrent destination. This excludes destination replacement, not concurrent source substitution.


Module studio.platform.jobs_purge_recovery

Class PurgeCustody

What purging and its recovery use from their owner.

The ledger and custody root, and the owner's local handles of jobs it supervises, which a purge forgets. The embedded manager is one owner; the storage authority is another, with no local handles.

Function recover_purges(manager)

Recover exact custody with committed cleanup-start and removal evidence.

Each phase rechecks ownership under its own writer transaction. Ambiguous intents never resolve automatically, and live foreign supervisors retain ownership. At most three phases run per intent; this is not a background retry loop.


Module studio.platform.jobs_reaper

Class ReapReport

What stopping one worker process group actually achieved.

Attributes

outcome : {"exited", "terminated", "killed", "unreaped"} exited when the worker had already finished, terminated when it stopped on SIGTERM, killed when SIGKILL was needed, and unreaped when the group was still there afterwards. group_id : int or None The process group signalled, when one could be resolved. returncode : int or None The direct worker's exit status, when it was collected. duration_seconds : float Wall-clock time the reap took. survivors : tuple of int Process ids still alive in the group when the reap gave up. Empty unless outcome is unreaped.

  • reaped()
  • Return whether the scoped worker cleanup was verified complete.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a path-free JSON representation of this reap.

Function process_group_of(process)

Return the worker's process group, or None when it has none.

A worker started with start_new_session=True leads its own group, so the group id equals its pid. Reading it from the operating system rather than assuming it keeps the reap honest when the process has already gone.

Function reap_process_group(process)

Stop the registered worker process group and report what happened.

SIGTERM to the group first, so a worker that handles it can seal its own files; SIGKILL to the group if the grace period passes; then a check that the group is actually gone. A descendant that leaves this group by creating another session or group is outside this cleanup scope.

Parameters

process : subprocess.Popen The worker. It must have been started with start_new_session=True, or it shares the supervisor's group and only the direct child is signalled. terminate_grace_seconds : float How long the group may take to exit on SIGTERM. kill_grace_seconds : float How long the group may take to disappear after SIGKILL. owned_group_id : int, optional Group captured by the caller for a worker it started in its own session. Retains descendant custody after the direct child has been collected. Must equal that worker's PID and must not be the caller's group.

Returns

ReapReport The outcome for the worker group, or for the direct child when no separate owned group can be resolved; never an exception.


Module studio.platform.jobs_shared_admission

Class SharedJobAdmission

One root's capacity, with job-scoped reservations and release.

Opening an observer does not change configuration. The first submission establishes root limits; conflicting submission limits are rejected.

  • init(ledger)
  • admit()
  • Atomically admit capacity and job, or return the existing scoped key.
  • release()
  • Release this supervisor's exact reservation; repeated release is a no-op.
  • reconcile()
  • Release only reservations whose stopped work has been proved after job recovery.
  • mark_unreaped()
  • Keep capacity occupied when a terminal job's worker has not stopped.
  • snapshot()
  • Read one consistent root-wide occupancy and cumulative counter snapshot.

Module studio.platform.jobs_snapshot

Function decode_job_snapshot(payload)

Decode an exact complete snapshot, retaining every custody field.

Parameters

payload : mapping Public record JSON, including nullable fields and artifact declarations.

Returns

StudioJobRecord Domain record reconstructed from JSON, without storage or identity claims.

Raises

ValueError Fields are missing, unknown, non-JSON or violate native record types. Training configuration and event declarations obey the ledger's independent byte limits; transport framing remains separately bounded.


Module studio.platform.jobs_worker_custody

Function register_worker(ledger, job_id, expected_supervisor, worker_identity, group_id)

Bind an observed child to its admitted job on the trusted authority side.

Persist host/PID/start-token identity, boot identity and process group in the job ledger. Refuse inactive jobs, mismatched ownership, absent capacity, duplicate workers and a supervisor whose liveness cannot be established. Registration is evidence of startup, not proof of later group termination.


Module studio.platform.jobs_worker_guard

Function arm_worker_guard(supervisor)

Arm before importing task code; refuse execution without a ready guard.

The guard shares the worker's dedicated group. It survives worker GIL stalls and is stopped with the group by normal supervisor reaping. It never signals a group supplied by an unrelated process: its own membership retains custody.

Function main()

Stop the worker's group on supervisor death or prolonged unknown liveness.

Poll every 100 ms; tolerate unknown metadata for at most one second. Exit with status 1 after stopping the group. This guards local supervised compute, not hostile processes escaping the session or a system where the guard itself cannot be scheduled.


Module studio.platform.jobs_worker_limits

Class StudioWorkerLimits

Per-process ceilings for embedded Studio jobs.

Parameters

max_data_bytes: Private writable allocation ceiling in bytes. max_open_files: Maximum number of open file descriptors. max_file_bytes: Maximum size in bytes of any file written by the worker. max_cpu_seconds: CPU seconds per process. None derives a ceiling from the job's wall-clock timeout and the host CPU count.

  • post_init()
  • Reject nonpositive, fractional and boolean resource ceilings.
  • for_host(cls)
  • Use half of physical RAM and bounded descriptor and file ceilings.
  • worker_arguments(timeout_seconds)
  • Encode limits for the worker launched with this job timeout.

Function apply_worker_limits()

Set POSIX hard ceilings in the worker before loading task code.

An inherited hard ceiling is never raised. The CPU soft limit can rise to its hard ceiling, at most one second higher, so SIGXCPU can report exhaustion before the kernel kills the worker. No per-UID RLIMIT_NPROC is set.

Parameters

max_data_bytes: Private writable allocation ceiling in bytes. max_cpu_seconds: CPU seconds before SIGXCPU. max_open_files: Maximum open file descriptors. max_file_bytes: Maximum bytes in one output file.


Module studio.platform.jobs_worker_recovery

Function worker_group_stopped(identity, boot_id, group_id)

Return true only for a validated old boot or a locally stopped group.

Missing metadata, foreign hosts, malformed identities and inaccessible process metadata retain capacity. A live group with a reused ID also stays occupied; this probe never signals it. A member counts as stopped only when every one of its threads has exited: zombies cannot execute or spawn work, but a zombie thread-group leader can still have running threads.


Module studio.platform.jobs_worker_registration

Function start_worker_registration(ledger, job_id, process, expected_supervisor)

Capture the owned child before polling, then commit asynchronously and grant once.

The supervisor continues timeout/cancellation monitoring while SQLite may wait for its writer lock. EOF is refusal. Identity arguments are observations of the trusted parent, not an interface for untrusted network assertions.

Function await_worker_registration(descriptor)

Require the exact parent grant within three seconds; EOF or malformed input refuses.


Module studio.platform.model_compile_process

Function run_model_compile_process_task(context, payload)

Resolve and compile one catalogue model through its canonical schema.


Module studio.platform.model_cosim_process

Function run_model_cosim_process_task(context, payload)

Resolve one selected model and emit real external-tool parity evidence.

  • Return public route-policy posture.

Class StudioOperatorResourceLimitStatus

Path-free runtime resource limits relevant to Studio operators.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return configured resource ceilings without host paths.

Class StudioOperatorBrowserLoginStatus

Path-free browser-login lockout posture for Studio operators.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return browser-login lockout limits without identity material.

Class StudioOperatorStatus

Path-free aggregate status for the Studio operator control plane.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free operator status API payload.

Function build_studio_operator_status()

Build the aggregate operator status from live Studio platform components.


Module studio.platform.pipeline_process

Function run_pipeline_process_task(context, payload)

Run one Studio graph-to-synthesis pipeline in an isolated process.

Parameters

context: Job sandbox used to write path-confined result and evidence artifacts. payload: JSON object matching the public /api/pipeline/run request contract.

Returns

dict[str, object] Path-free pipeline result payload.

Raises

ValueError If the payload does not match the JSON-serializable pipeline contract.


Module studio.platform.policy_audit

Class JsonlAuditSink

Append-only JSONL audit sink for Studio policy decisions.

  • init(path)
  • Configure an append-only audit log and bounded rotation policy.
  • path()
  • Return the configured JSONL audit log path.
  • record(event)
  • Append a Studio policy audit event as one JSON object.
  • status()
  • Return status for the persistent JSONL audit sink.
  • export_recent(limit)
  • Export the most recent persisted audit rows without exposing paths.
  • export_quarantine(limit)
  • Export quarantined retained audit rows without exposing local paths.

Module studio.platform.policy_gateway

Class RoutePolicyRegistry

Registry of Studio route policies keyed by HTTP method and path.

  • init()
  • Create an empty method-and-path policy registry.
  • register(method, path_template, policy)
  • Register one Studio route policy.
  • policy_for(method, path_template)
  • Return the policy for one HTTP method and path template.
  • policies()
  • Return registered route policies in stable method/path order.
  • missing_policies(routes)
  • Return route signatures that have no registered Studio policy.

Class PolicyGateway

Fail-closed Studio route authorization gateway.

  • init(audit_sink, clock)
  • Bind the required audit sink and optional deterministic clock.
  • authorize(policy)
  • Authorize a caller against a Studio route policy.

Module studio.platform.policy_models

Class AuditSinkError

Raised when a Studio audit sink cannot persist an event.

Class AuditSinkStatus

Operator-safe status for a Studio audit sink.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return an operator-safe status dictionary without local paths.

Class AuditExport

Operator-safe export of persisted Studio audit rows.

  • Return a path-free JSON export payload for admin operators.

Class AuditQuarantineExport

Operator-safe export of quarantined retained Studio audit rows.

  • Record a Studio policy audit event.
  • status()
  • Return operator-safe audit sink status.

Class InMemoryAuditSink

Append-only in-memory audit sink for local Studio policy tests.

  • init()
  • Create an empty process-local audit event buffer.
  • events()
  • Return recorded audit events in insertion order.
  • record(event)
  • Record a Studio policy audit event.
  • status()
  • Return status for the non-persistent in-memory audit sink.

Module studio.platform.policy_routes

Function build_default_studio_route_policy_registry()

Build route policies for the current Studio platform API surface.


Module studio.platform.preflight

Class StudioPreflightCheck

One secret-free Studio release-preflight check result.

Parameters

check_id: Stable machine-readable identifier for the checked release invariant. status: "pass" when the invariant holds, "fail" when it is violated and blocks release, or "warn" for a non-blocking advisory the operator should resolve before production use. message: Operator-facing summary that does not include local paths or secrets. evidence: Small scalar evidence fields suitable for JSON reports. remediation: Operator actions that can resolve a failed or warned check. Entries must not expose local filesystem paths or secret material.

Parameters

env: Optional environment mapping. When omitted, os.environ is used by the runtime settings builder. clock: Optional UTC timestamp used for expiry-sensitive identity checks.

Returns

StudioPreflightReport Ordered path-free report. The report fails closed if settings cannot be parsed or any release invariant is missing.


Module studio.platform.process_worker

Function main(argv)

Run one importable Studio process task and persist a JSON result.

Parameters

argv: Optional command-line argument sequence. None reads process arguments from sys.argv through argparse.

Returns

int 0 when the imported task completed and wrote a result; 1 when the task failed and the result file contains the public error string.


Module studio.platform.sessions

Class StudioBrowserSessionIssue

Issued Studio browser session.

Parameters

bearer_token: Raw bearer token returned once to the browser. principal: Principal bound to the issued session. expires_at_utc: UTC expiry timestamp for the session.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the login response payload.

Class StudioBrowserSessionRecord

Server-side browser session record stored without raw token material.

Class StudioBrowserSessionResult

Result of authenticating a browser bearer-session token.

Class StudioBrowserSessionManager

Issue, authenticate, and revoke ephemeral browser bearer sessions.

  • init()
  • issue(principal)
  • Issue a new browser session for an authenticated principal.
  • authenticate_authorization_header(authorization)

  • post_init()
  • Validate settings that affect Studio security boundaries.

Function build_default_studio_runtime_settings(env)

Build Studio runtime settings from environment-style values.


Module studio.platform.storage_admission_client

Class PendingNamedAdmission

Immutable exact transfer state for one correlated authority reply.

The original request object may contain mutable nested JSON; only these bytes were sent. The service identity and deadline are also snapshotted so a later caller cannot replace them with another configuration.

Function send_named_admission_request(channel)

Send validated metadata and exact seed bytes on one connected Unix stream.

The trusted API caller must construct the requester only from its middleware-authenticated principal. This function checks a frozen metadata and seed snapshot before sending, separates event declarations under their existing custody ceiling, uses configuration-owned limits, and closes the channel on every failure. On success the caller retains an immutable transfer snapshot and the channel for one correlated response. The service independently derives and checks its own content identity. Sending does not reserve capacity, admit a job or authorize a worker.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream to the configured service. request : StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Typed named metadata built from trusted API identity and route context. seed_inputs : mapping of str to bytes Exact immutable seed content corresponding to the request manifest. configuration : StorageBoundaryConfiguration Trusted workspace, service UID, byte budgets and transfer timeout.

Returns

PendingNamedAdmission Original sent metadata, expected content identity, service UID and absolute reply deadline. It grants no admission authority.

Raises

ValueError Request, workspace, metadata, manifest or seed bytes are invalid. PermissionError The connected service peer has the wrong kernel UID. TimeoutError The one absolute transfer deadline expires. OSError A socket transfer fails; the ambiguous stream is closed.

Function read_named_admission_result(channel)

Read one peer-verified result for the exact previously sent mutation.

The original send and this response share one absolute deadline. The channel is consumed and closed on success, refusal, timeout or corruption. A timeout or disconnect is ambiguous: the API must use the same mutation ID and content for a deliberate durable replay, never infer no admission.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Same exclusively owned Unix stream used for the pending send. pending : PendingNamedAdmission Immutable snapshot returned by that send, never browser input.

Returns

str Correlated admitted job ID; read its complete record separately.

Raises

StudioJobQueueFull A correlated capacity refusal returned by the service. ValueError Pending state, framing, schema or response correlation is invalid. PermissionError The connected service peer UID differs from the sent snapshot. TimeoutError The original absolute transfer deadline expires. EOFError The service disconnects before a complete result arrives. OSError Socket transfer fails.


Module studio.platform.storage_admission_digest

Function derive_storage_admission_replay()

Hash one exact named admission without trusting a caller-supplied digest.

task must match the service's reviewed named-operation map and its authorized route. requester must come from its policy-allowed trusted API peer, and workspace from configuration. Seeds must already have passed bounded ingress; this function hashes their actual content and refuses aggregate bytes beyond max_seed_bytes. The caller's HTTP trace, mutation ID and process generation are excluded from content so a lost reply can replay after an API restart. This function prepares the replay key; it does not authorize, admit or launch a worker.

Parameters

requester : Principal Authenticated principal delegated by the trusted API peer. mutation_id : str Durable retry key, distinct from the HTTP trace identifier. workspace : str Server-configured workspace, never a browser-selected scope. task : NamedStudioTask Reviewed task selected for authorized_route. authorized_route : str Route whose existing policy the service has allowed. payload_json : bytes UTF-8 process object bounded by metadata plus the event custody ceiling. Large event declarations are validated and represented by their complete SHA and byte reference in the canonical replay identity. seed_inputs : mapping of str to bytes or ReceivedStorageSeedFile Actual received seed bytes or private staged files. Staged files are rehashed in bounded chunks; their declared digests are not trusted. execution_timeout_seconds, queue_wait_seconds : float or None Worker deadline and distinct admission queue deadline. admission, training_config : mapping or None Existing job admission and validated training snapshot controls. experiment_sha256 : str or None Effective experiment digest, when one exists. max_metadata_bytes, max_seed_bytes, max_seed_entries : int Explicit service limits for small canonical controls and received seeds. Previously admitted inline event controls retain their legacy digest; large declarations use the separately bounded event content identity.

Returns

StorageAdmissionReplay Validated requester, mutation key and service-derived SHA-256 digest.

Raises

ValueError Invalid identity, JSON, nonfinite value, size or seed content.


Module studio.platform.storage_admission_protocol

Class StorageNamedAdmissionRequest

One named submission from a verified API peer, without worker authority.

The service separately checks the configured workspace, route policy, reviewed task registry, delegated requester and peer process generation. seed_manifest describes frames following this metadata request; the service checks actual bytes before deriving durable replay identity. No client-selected kind, owner, import path, digest or supervisor is valid.

Function decode_named_admission_request(payload)

Decode one exact metadata frame with no ambiguous JSON object names.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete nonempty metadata frame from a peer-verified Unix stream. max_metadata_bytes : int Service-configured positive frame ceiling checked before parsing.

Returns

StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Strictly typed metadata, not an authorization or admission decision.

Raises

ValueError Bytes, JSON, schema version, operation, field types or size are invalid.

Notes

The caller must still verify the configured API UID and process generation, authorize the route, receive exact seed bytes and establish worker custody before durable admission. This decoder has no ledger or task import access.


Module studio.platform.storage_admission_response

Class StorageNamedAdmissionResponse

One exact admission or capacity-refusal outcome from the authority.

A caller must supply the result of its durable authority transaction; the codec cannot prove persistence from a Python object alone. A lost reply remains ambiguous until the same mutation ID and content are replayed against the authority's durable table.

  • validate_outcome()
  • Require mutually exclusive complete success and capacity shapes.

Function encode_named_admission_response()

Serialize one actual authority outcome within a trusted frame ceiling.

Parameters

request : StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Exact request already authorized and prepared by the service. replay : StorageAdmissionReplay Service-derived content identity used in the durable transaction. outcome : StudioJobSubmission or StudioJobQueueFull Admission or capacity refusal returned by the authority transaction. max_bytes : int Positive trusted maximum response-frame payload bytes.

Returns

bytes Strict versioned result to send over the peer-verified channel.

Raises

ValueError Correlation, domain outcome or complete frame size is invalid.

Function decode_named_admission_response(payload)

Return the admitted job ID or raise the exact durable queue refusal.

This codec checks a bounded response from a separately verified service peer. It cannot prove that the worker was launched or safely supervised; the service may emit success only after its own custody and admission gate. A lost reply is ambiguous and must use durable mutation replay, not an automatic fresh submission.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete response frame from a separately peer-verified service. request : StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Exact submitted metadata retained by the trusted API caller. replay : StorageAdmissionReplay Client-computed expected digest of the frozen request and seed bytes. max_bytes : int Positive trusted maximum response-frame payload bytes.

Returns

str Correlated admitted job ID; fetch its complete record separately.

Raises

StudioJobQueueFull A correlated durable capacity refusal. ValueError Framing, JSON, schema, outcome or request correlation is invalid.


Module studio.platform.storage_artifact_chunks

Returns

bytes Exact content after full size and digest verification.

Raises

ValueError A local budget is invalid. StudioJobArtifactUnavailable Declared content exceeds the budget, chunks have incorrect boundaries, or the full content digest differs. PermissionError, TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Peer verification or transfer fails.


Module studio.platform.storage_artifact_client

Function artifact_request(workspace, job_id, relative_path)

Returns

StudioJobArtifactPayload Complete bytes after exact chunk, size and digest verification.

Raises

PermissionError The peer is not the configured storage identity, or policy denied. KeyError The job or its declared artefact is not in the workspace. StudioJobArtifactUnavailable The authority could not serve trusted bytes, or the received bytes differ from the declaration. ValueError A reply is malformed or answers another request or artefact. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError The exchange failed; reading again is safe.

Module studio.platform.storage_artifact_seal

Class SealedArtifactWriter

Seal one job's artefacts under a private authority root.

Parameters

root : Path Authority root that holds the job ledger; it must be private to this identity. job_id : str Validated job identifier naming the job directory.

Function apply_cancel(ledger, request)

Apply one decoded request whose workspace matched the service.

Function serve_cancel(channel)

Serve one peer-verified cancellation after the stop route's policy.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, closed by this handler on every outcome. ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing authority. gateway : PolicyGateway Existing authorisation owner with its audit sink. workspace : str Nonempty server-bound workspace. expected_api_uid : int Configured API identity. max_bytes : int Frame ceiling for request and response. deadline : float Absolute monotonic wire deadline. initial_frame : bytes or None First frame already read by the owning listener, if any. max_content_bytes : int, optional Independent total snapshot limit; defaults to event custody plus one frame.

Function cancel_request(workspace, job_id)

Build a cancellation with a fresh random request ID.

Function exchange_cancel(channel, request)

Run one cancellation over a connected, exclusively owned stream.

Individual frames obey max_bytes; the complete snapshot independently obeys max_content_bytes, defaulting to event custody plus one frame.

Returns

Module studio.platform.storage_configuration

Class StorageBoundaryConfiguration

Immutable role, path and resource intent, not proof of OS isolation.

Core fields are required. An optional view-content ceiling defaults to the existing event custody limit plus one frame. Three non-root OS identities must differ. Storage, spool and socket-parent trees must be canonical absolute disjoint paths. Limits carry explicit frame, metadata, seed, artefact, transfer and connection budgets. Actual ownership, ACLs, launcher and endpoint lifecycle are checked separately before a future isolated runtime can create its ledger or listener.

  • validate_boundary()
  • Refuse collapsed identities and overlapping or aliased namespaces.

Function parse_storage_boundary(value)

Decode explicit operator JSON without defaults or persistent side effects.

Parameters

value : str or None Boundary JSON from trusted configuration; absence preserves no boundary.

Raises

ValueError JSON, duplicate fields, types, identity, paths or limits are invalid.


Module studio.platform.storage_connection

Function connect_storage_authority(configuration)

Return one peer-verified stream from the configured API identity.

The caller exclusively owns and closes the returned connection. This confirms endpoint and kernel peer identity before any frame is sent; it does not authenticate a browser principal or enable the isolated runtime. No path, credential or UID is accepted from a worker request.


Module studio.platform.storage_dispatch

Class StorageServices

The authority's collaborators and the configured limits they serve with.

admission serves the status view; admit_named and authority_dirfd serve named admission. An operation whose collaborator is absent is refused before its request is decoded.

Function serve_operation(channel, metadata, services)

Serve the operation named by metadata on channel.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected stream whose peer and first frame the caller verified. metadata : bytes That first frame. services : StorageServices The service's collaborators and limits. deadline : float Absolute monotonic wire deadline.

Raises

ValueError The frame names no supported operation or its handler refused it. PermissionError A collaborator the operation needs is not configured, or a handler's peer or policy check refused. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Wire transfer fails.

Verify all declared bytes and restore the request only after authorization.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Authorized API connection. request : StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Small request decoded from its first frame. envelope : EventAdmissionEnvelope, optional Typed declaration bounded by the existing 64 MiB event custody limit. expected_uid : int Configured API identity. frame_max_bytes : int Unchanged per-frame ceiling. deadline : float Same absolute transfer deadline as metadata and seeds.

Returns

StorageNamedAdmissionRequest Full request after exact frame lengths, content SHA and references agree.

Raises

ValueError Content length, SHA, configuration reference or canonical JSON differs.


Module studio.platform.storage_event_worker_configuration

Class EventJuliaRuntime

An explicit installed JuliaCall runtime, with one thread and signal policy.

The operator must provision a compatible PythonCall project beforehand. Declaring this object opts into Julia decoding; no package is installed.

  • validate_runtime()
  • Require existing operator executable and project paths.

Class EventWorkerConfiguration

Operator-owned event root, input budget and optional native decoders.

Paths must be readable by the configured compute identity. Validation checks their current availability to the launcher; it does not prove worker access, dependency compatibility or immutable file custody.

  • validate_recordings()
  • Require an existing root and existing absolute native library files.
  • environment()
  • Build only the declared event settings for the fixed worker environment.

Module studio.platform.storage_finish

Function decide_finish(ledger, request)

Decide whether the verified API generation may finish this job now.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing storage authority. request : StorageFinishRequest Decoded request whose workspace already matched the service. supervisor : str host:pid:token of the pidfd-verified API peer.

Returns

tuple ("ready", None) to receive artefacts, or a final reply and reason.

Function commit_finish(ledger, request)

Commit the terminal record for sealed artefacts and settle its capacity.

Both writes are one transaction: a crash never leaves a terminal job that still holds its reservation, which an identical retry could not release. An unreaped worker keeps the reservation, marked unreaped, as the embedded supervisor does.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing storage authority. request : StorageFinishRequest Request whose artefacts are already sealed. supervisor : str Delegated owner verified before the artefacts were received.

Returns

tuple sealed, or the answer for a job that became terminal meanwhile.

Function serve_finish(channel)

Serve one peer-verified finish exchange and write its final answer.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, closed by this handler on every outcome. ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing authority; artefacts are sealed under its root. workspace : str Nonempty server-bound workspace. expected_api_uid : int Configured API identity. frame_max_bytes : int Ceiling for every frame, including one artefact. max_artifact_bytes, max_artifact_entries : int Trusted aggregate artefact budgets. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline for the whole exchange. initial_frame : bytes or None First frame already read by the owning listener, if any.

Raises

ValueError Configuration, request, workspace or manifest is invalid; nothing is answered or sealed. PermissionError The peer is not the configured API or its generation cannot be proved. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Wire transfer fails; bytes sealed before the failure are only retained for an identical retry.


Module studio.platform.storage_finish_chunks

Class FinishChunkMismatch

An otherwise framed chunk does not match its declared artefact position.

Function receive_finish_artifact(channel)

Read exact full-size chunks and a final remainder under one deadline.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned API connection, with identity checked per frame. size_bytes : int Declared size already admitted under the aggregate artefact budget. sha256 : str Manifest digest to verify over the complete received bytes. expected_api_uid : int Operator-configured API identity. frame_max_bytes : int Positive maximum frame payload; every nonfinal chunk has this size. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by the complete finish operation.

Returns

bytes Complete content for independent digest verification before sealing. An empty artefact consumes no frames.

Raises

ValueError Limits or chunk sizes are invalid. PermissionError, TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Verified transfer cannot finish. No content is sealed here.


Module studio.platform.storage_finish_client

Function spool_finish_request(job_directory)

Build a finish request and its artefact bytes from a stopped worker's spool.

Parameters

job_directory : int Held descriptor of <spool>/<job>/<generation>/<job>. workspace, job_id : str Configured workspace and the admitted job. outcome : FinishOutcome or None The API's own verdict (cancelled/timed_out/failed) or None to use the worker's report: completed only when the worker reported completion and exited with status 0, as embedded. exit_status : int or None Leader exit status reported by the launcher, if it ran. frame_max_bytes : int Ceiling for the result metadata and each artefact chunk frame. max_artifact_bytes, max_artifact_entries : int Aggregate budgets the authority enforces; a worker declaring more is refused before any artefact is read into memory. error : str or None The API's own error for an unsuccessful outcome; otherwise the worker's error or the embedded supervisor's wording is used. worker_reaped : bool Whether the launcher confirmed that every process of the generation ended.

Returns

tuple The validated request and the artefact bytes in manifest order.

Raises

ValueError The worker result or an artefact is missing its contract: absent or non-regular files, changed bytes, a digest or size different from the declaration, or an invalid manifest.

Function exchange_finish(channel, request, payloads)

Run one finish exchange over a connected, exclusively owned stream.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream to the storage authority, closed on every outcome. request : StorageFinishRequest Request to send. payloads : sequence of bytes Artefact bytes in manifest order. expected_service_uid : int Configured storage identity, checked before each frame. max_bytes : int Frame ceiling. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline for the whole exchange.

Returns

StorageFinishResponse The final answer.

Raises

ValueError payloads do not match the manifest, or a reply is malformed. PermissionError The peer is not the configured storage identity. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError The exchange failed; whether the authority sealed is unknown.


Module studio.platform.storage_finish_protocol

Class FinishArtifact

One declared artefact: a canonical job-relative path, its size and digest.

  • validate_path()
  • Accept only a printable, canonical path that stays inside the job.

Class StorageFinishRequest

Report a terminal outcome and declare the artefacts to seal.

As in the embedded supervisor, only completed carries a result and never an error; failed and timed_out carry an error and cancelled may. worker_reaped is false when the launcher could not confirm that every process of the generation ended: the job becomes terminal but keeps its capacity as unreaped. A completed job was reaped. Artefact paths are unique; their bytes follow as frames in the listed order.

  • validate_outcome()
  • Match result, error and reaping to the outcome; refuse duplicate paths.

Class StorageFinishResponse

The authority's answer to one finish request.

ready is interim and asks for the artefact frames; every other reply is final.

  • validate_reply()
  • Only a refusal carries a reason.

Function validate_artifact_budget(artifacts)

Hold declared artefacts to the trusted budgets before any byte moves.

Parameters

artifacts : Sequence[FinishArtifact] Declared artefacts, from a request or a worker's own manifest. frame_max_bytes : int Positive ceiling for each chunk frame; artefacts may span frames. max_artifact_bytes, max_artifact_entries : int Aggregate byte and entry budgets from trusted configuration.

Raises

ValueError The declaration exceeds a budget.

Function validate_finish_manifest(request)

Hold a request's manifest to the trusted artefact budgets.

Raises

ValueError The manifest exceeds a budget; see :func:validate_artifact_budget.

Parameters

message : StorageFinishRequest or StorageFinishResponse Already validated message.

Returns

bytes UTF-8 JSON.

Function decode_finish_request(payload)

Decode one exact request frame from the verified API peer.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload. max_bytes : int Configured frame ceiling.

Returns

StorageFinishRequest Strictly typed request; not an ownership decision.

Raises

ValueError Size, encoding, duplicate names, unknown fields or any field shape is invalid.

Function decode_finish_response(payload)

Decode a response and require exact correlation with the sent request.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload from the verified storage peer. request : StorageFinishRequest The request this response must answer. max_bytes : int Configured frame ceiling.

Returns

StorageFinishResponse Correlated answer.

Raises

ValueError The frame is malformed, inconsistent or answers another request.

Class GenerationRuntime

Trusted API settings for supervising launched worker generations.

connect returns a new peer-verified stream to the storage authority, for example :func:storage_connection.connect_storage_authority bound to the boundary configuration. max_artifact_bytes is the worker's per-artefact budget; artifact_total_bytes and artifact_entries are the aggregate budgets the authority enforces. attempts bounds each resolution loop; transfer_timeout_seconds bounds each single exchange. live is this API generation's registry of live worker directories.

Module studio.platform.storage_launcher_client

Function new_launcher_request(operation)

Build a request with a fresh random request ID.

Parameters

operation : {"launch", "stop", "status"} Requested launcher operation. job_id : str Admitted job ID, sj_ plus 16 lowercase hexadecimal digits. generation : str Launch generation chosen once per attempt, 32 lowercase hex digits.

  • Accept only an absolute canonical endpoint path.

Function parse_launcher_client(value)

Decode operator JSON for the launcher client; absence means none.

Raises

ValueError JSON, duplicate fields, types or values are invalid.


Module studio.platform.storage_launcher_configuration

Class LauncherConfiguration

Operator-owned launcher configuration; no request can change it.

python_path lists the import roots given to the fixed bootstrap. The worker ceilings are passed to the bootstrap, which applies them before reading any request data. max_records bounds retained generation records used to answer lost-reply status queries. event_input declares local recordings and native runtimes separately from the API environment; job requests cannot set these paths.

  • validate_paths()
  • Require absolute normalised paths and at least one worker import root.

Function load_launcher_configuration(path)

Read the operator configuration file with strict, duplicate-free JSON.

Parameters

path : Path Operator-owned configuration file.

Returns

LauncherConfiguration Validated configuration.

Raises

ValueError Size, JSON or any field is invalid. OSError The file cannot be read.


Module studio.platform.storage_launcher_endpoint

Class LauncherEndpoint

Bind, and later remove, exactly one launcher socket inode.

The socket parent must be owned by the launcher and grant at most group traversal, so only the configured socket group (the API) can reach it. An existing entry is never adopted; shutdown unlinks only the unchanged inode this endpoint created.

  • init(socket_path)
  • Retain the configured endpoint path; nothing is bound yet.
  • open()
  • Bind and listen on a new socket through the held parent directory.
  • close()
  • Remove the endpoint only if it is still the inode this object bound.

Module studio.platform.storage_launcher_protocol

Class LauncherRequest

One operation for an exact admitted job generation.

generation is chosen by the API once per launch attempt and reused for retries of that attempt, so a retry can never create a second generation.

Class LauncherResponse

The launcher's observed state for the requested job generation.

running carries the launched worker PID and its process start token. stopped means the launcher confirmed that no process of the generation it tracks remains, and carries the leader's exit status as :attr:subprocess.Popen.returncode reports it. absent means this launcher has no record of the generation. refused carries a fixed reason; with survivors a stop could not yet confirm termination and the identity is retained.

  • validate_state()
  • Require the identity and reason fields that belong to each state.

Function encode_launcher_request(request)

Serialise a validated request as canonical bounded JSON.

Parameters

request : LauncherRequest Already validated request.

Returns

bytes Sorted, compact UTF-8 JSON within :data:LAUNCHER_MESSAGE_MAX_BYTES.

Function decode_launcher_request(payload)

Decode one exact request frame received from the verified API peer.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload.

Returns

LauncherRequest Strictly typed request; not an authorisation of the job itself.

Raises

ValueError Size, encoding, duplicate names, unknown fields, version or any field shape is invalid.

Function encode_launcher_response(response)

Serialise a validated response as canonical bounded JSON.

Parameters

response : LauncherResponse Already validated response.

Returns

bytes Sorted, compact UTF-8 JSON within :data:LAUNCHER_MESSAGE_MAX_BYTES.

Function decode_launcher_response(payload)

Decode a response and require exact correlation with the sent request.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload from the verified launcher peer. request : LauncherRequest The request this response must answer.

Returns

LauncherResponse Correlated launcher observation.

Raises

ValueError The frame is malformed, inconsistent, or answers a different request, operation, job or generation.


Module studio.platform.storage_launcher_service

Function main(argv)

Run the launcher service until SIGTERM or SIGINT.

Parameters

argv : Sequence[str] or None --configuration PATH; None reads sys.argv.

Returns

int 0 after an orderly stop. Startup refusal raises instead.

Notes

ready is printed once the endpoint accepts connections. A refused or malformed connection is closed and the service continues; it never stops running workers on shutdown.


Module studio.platform.storage_listener

Class StorageRecordListener

Serve one bounded versioned request at a time from the configured API UID.

Startup inspects an existing service-owned namespace and an existing ledger. It never creates a database, adopts a stale socket, repairs permissions, or starts a worker. Named admission requires an explicitly supplied trusted handler that establishes worker custody before returning a durable outcome. A caller owns the service loop and calls :meth:serve_once repeatedly; this class does not claim a deployed isolated profile.

  • init(configuration)
  • Retain explicit configuration and existing authority collaborators.
  • start()
  • Bind a new socket through held descriptors after strict path checks.
  • serve_once()
  • Accept and serve one request under finite accept and wire deadlines.
  • stop()
  • Close the listener and remove only its own unchanged socket inode.
  • enter()
  • Start the endpoint and return its single owner.
  • exit(exc_type, exc_value, traceback)
  • Close this listener without suppressing caller failures.

Module studio.platform.storage_live_spool

Class LiveSpools

This API generation's live worker directories, keyed by job.

  • init()
  • Keep retain finished directories; bound each control seed.
  • attach(job_id, work)
  • Hold a duplicate of a staged worker directory for job_id.
  • retire(job_id)
  • Mark an attached job_id finished; close the oldest beyond the bound.
  • close()
  • Close every held directory.
  • read(job_id, relative_path)
  • Return up to max_bytes appended after offset and the new offset.
  • deliver(job_id, command, seeds)
  • Publish control seeds, then the command, into the job's live spool.

Module studio.platform.storage_mode

Function parse_storage_mode(value)

Parse the explicit environment selection without an unknown-value fallback.

An absent value preserves embedded compatibility. Empty, misspelled and differently cased values raise ValueError; whitespace is stripped. Parsing isolated expresses intent, not availability or qualification.

Parameters

value: Environment value, or None when the option is absent.

Returns

StudioStorageMode Validated selection, without creating storage or changing permissions.

Raises

ValueError The supplied value is empty or not a supported mode name.

Function require_available_storage(mode)

Refuse an unknown storage selection before any runtime collaborator exists.

Embedded storage preserves the existing non-isolated filesystem contract. Isolated startup additionally requires every check of :func:storage_preflight.require_isolated_preflight to pass before any collaborator is created; it never falls back to a local ledger.

Parameters

mode: Validated storage selection from runtime settings.

Raises

ValueError The caller supplied an unknown mode despite the typed contract.


Module studio.platform.storage_named_admission

Class PreparedNamedAdmission

Authorized service inputs with verified seed content and peer custody.

This value is not an admitted job. The service must establish a launcher handshake and then call its transactional admission owner; disconnects before that point have not created a replay outcome or reserved capacity. The exact bounded request is retained as bytes so later code cannot mutate nested payload or control mappings after replay identity was derived. seed_files owns unlinked service files only until the listener returns its response; the admission handler must transfer them before returning. seed_inputs remains the bounded byte path for direct callers.

Function prepare_named_admission(channel)

Read and authorize a real connected API request without ledger mutation.

Event content follows a bounded header only after policy authorization; the restored request is retained under the separate event custody limit.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream from the configured API UID. gateway : PolicyGateway Existing route-policy audit authority; a failed audit refuses. workspace : str Server-configured scope, never selected by the request. expected_api_uid : int Trusted configured API OS identity. frame_max_bytes, max_metadata_bytes : int Framing and complete metadata byte ceilings. max_seed_bytes, max_seed_entries, max_manifest_bytes : int Explicit aggregate seed, entry and UTF-8 name-byte ceilings. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by metadata and all seed frames. initial_frame : bytes or None Optional metadata frame already read through this verified channel by its listener before operation dispatch. Direct callers leave it unset. authority_dirfd : int or None Held private service-authority directory for file-backed seed ingress. When absent, use the existing bounded byte path for direct callers.

Returns

PreparedNamedAdmission Authorized named task, actual seed content, service-derived replay key and pidfd-verified API process generation; no job is admitted.

Raises

ValueError Request, task, workspace, frame or content contract is invalid. PermissionError Peer identity or the existing route policy refuses the requester. TimeoutError The shared transfer deadline expires. EOFError The peer disconnects before all declared bytes arrive. OSError A socket transfer fails. Any failure closes the ambiguous stream. AuditSinkError The policy audit cannot persist its decision.


Module studio.platform.storage_named_admit

Function named_process_admission(admission)

Return the service's handler that admits prepared named process jobs.

Parameters

admission : SharedJobAdmission The service's configured admission over its ledger. workspace : str The server-bound workspace every admitted job belongs to.


Module studio.platform.storage_named_tasks

Class NamedStudioTask

One reviewed process task and its preserved ledger and route identities.

name is the only selectable operation ID. kind and owner preserve the current ledger classification. task_path is passed to a trusted launcher outside storage; routes constrain policy delegation. Constructing this value does not authorize or execute the task.

  • owner_for(principal_id)
  • Derive actor custody from the authenticated delegation when required.
  • validate_admission()
  • Bind laboratory operation and custody before connection or allocation.

Function resolve_named_studio_task(name)

Return one exact reviewed task for an already authorized POST route.

Unknown names and route/task mismatches refuse before any capacity or filesystem mutation. The returned task_path is metadata for a trusted launcher, never a module imported by the storage authority.

Parameters

name : str Exact operation identifier supplied by the trusted API adapter. authorized_route : str Route authenticated and authorized by the service policy gateway.

Returns

NamedStudioTask Preserved kind, service owner and launcher task for that route.

Raises

ValueError Name, route or their exact pairing is not in the reviewed catalogue.

Function named_studio_task_for_path(task_path)

Return the reviewed task that runs task_path on an authorised route.

The isolated API facade keeps the embedded submit_process_task signature, whose callers name the task by import path; only a path that the catalogue names for this exact route becomes a named submission.

Raises

ValueError No reviewed task runs that path on this route.


Module studio.platform.storage_namespace

Class StorageDirectoryDescriptors

Borrowed noninheritable directory handles valid only inside their context.

Callers must not close, retain or delegate these handles to lower-trust processes. Descriptors are ownership evidence for opened objects, not a complete mount, ACL, capability or process-isolation qualification.

Function open_storage_directories(configuration)

Hold existing authority and endpoint directories after ownership checks.

Parameters

configuration : StorageBoundaryConfiguration Validated role/path intent. Authority and endpoint parent must exist.

Yields

StorageDirectoryDescriptors Borrowed handles, closed on acquisition failure or context exit.

Raises

PermissionError Platform, current service IDs, ancestor ownership or final modes refuse. OSError A directory cannot be opened, including missing paths or symlinks.

Notes

Performs no mkdir, permission repair, ledger opening or listener binding. Authority mode must be exactly 0700; endpoint parent cannot admit group or other writes. Root/service-owned sticky ancestors are permitted. Privileged namespace changes, non-POSIX permissions and inherited capabilities require separate deployment checks. Same-UID tests do not establish worker isolation.


Module studio.platform.storage_operation

Function classify_storage_operation(metadata)

Select one exact versioned operation from a peer-verified frame.

The owning listener limits and authenticates the frame before calling this function. Each selected handler still validates the full operation schema.


Module studio.platform.storage_peer

Class StoragePeer

Linux PID/UID/GID at connection creation, not live process custody.

The PID is not a process generation token. UID/GID are OS identities, not authenticated HTTP principals or a workspace membership assertion.

Function require_storage_peer(channel)

Require an exact configured UID on a connected Linux Unix stream.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected, exclusively owned socket. Peer rejection closes it. expected_uid : int Trusted configuration value, never a peer-supplied assertion. Valid OS UID from zero through uint32 maximum minus one; booleans are invalid.

Returns

StoragePeer Kernel-reported connection credentials. No liveness guarantee is implied.

Raises

ValueError Expected UID is invalid; no socket operations are attempted. PermissionError The platform/transport/peer is unsupported, unknown or not permitted. The rejected socket is closed without transferring framed bytes.

Function require_storage_supervisor_identity(channel)

Bind a connected trusted API peer to its kernel-anchored process generation.

The peer pidfd must still refer to the SO_PEERCRED PID while its proc start token is read. An exited peer, unsupported pidfd option or unavailable start token refuses before admission. The returned identity is suitable for the existing ledger lease, not a browser authorization decision.

Function read_verified_frame(channel)

Verify the OS peer before receiving a bounded storage frame.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream. expected_uid : int Trusted peer UID; not an application role or principal assertion. max_bytes : int Positive uint32 payload ceiling passed to the existing framing owner. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline, not renewed by peer verification.

Returns

bytes Complete nonempty payload from the verified connection.

Raises

PermissionError Peer verification refuses before any frame read. ValueError UID, frame limit, deadline or declared length is invalid. TimeoutError The original deadline expires. EOFError The peer closes before a complete frame arrives. OSError Frame transfer fails; the ambiguous socket is closed.

Function write_verified_frame(channel, payload)

Verify the OS peer before sending a bounded storage frame.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream. payload : bytes Nonempty payload within the explicit byte ceiling. expected_uid : int Trusted peer UID, checked before sending even a length header. max_bytes : int Positive uint32 payload ceiling passed to the framing owner. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline, not renewed by peer verification.

Raises

PermissionError Peer verification refuses before any frame write. ValueError UID, payload, frame limit or deadline is invalid. TimeoutError The original deadline expires. OSError Frame transfer fails; the ambiguous socket is closed.


Module studio.platform.storage_preflight

Class PreflightFailure

One failed check and why it failed.

Function isolated_preflight(settings)

Return every failed check for an isolated API with settings.

Parameters

settings : StudioRuntimeSettings The runtime settings the API would start with. sysctl_root : Path Directory holding the fs link-protection values; the host's /proc/sys/fs unless a caller inspects another tree.

Returns

tuple of PreflightFailure Empty when every check passed.

Function require_isolated_preflight(settings)

Refuse to start an isolated API while any check fails.

Returns

tuple The checked storage boundary and launcher client settings.

Raises

RuntimeError Names every failed check.


Module studio.platform.storage_purge

Class AuthorityCustody

The authority as a purge owner: its ledger and root, no local handles.

  • init(ledger)
  • Bind purging to the authority's ledger and the root that holds it.

Function apply_purge(custody, request)

Apply one decoded request whose workspace matched the service.

Function serve_purge(channel)

Serve one peer-verified purge after the archive purge route's policy.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, closed by this handler on every outcome. custody : AuthorityCustody The authority's ledger and root. gateway : PolicyGateway Existing authorisation owner with its audit sink. workspace : str Nonempty server-bound workspace. expected_api_uid : int Configured API identity. max_bytes : int Frame ceiling for request and response. deadline : float Absolute monotonic wire deadline. initial_frame : bytes or None First frame already read by the owning listener, if any. max_content_bytes : int or None Independent complete snapshot ceiling, validated before purging.

Raises

ValueError Configuration, request or workspace is invalid; nothing is purged. PermissionError The peer is not the configured API. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Wire transfer fails; read the record to learn whether it was purged. AuditSinkError The policy audit cannot persist its decision; nothing is purged.


Module studio.platform.storage_purge_client

Function purge_request(workspace, job_id)

Build a purge with a fresh random request ID.

Function exchange_purge(channel, request)

Run one purge over a connected, exclusively owned stream.

Frames obey max_bytes; the full pre-purge snapshot independently obeys max_content_bytes, defaulting to event custody plus one frame.

Returns

StudioJobRecord The record as it was before the purge.

Raises

PermissionError The peer is not the configured storage identity, or policy denied. KeyError The job is not in the workspace. StudioJobRejected The ledger refused the purge. ValueError The reply is malformed or names another job. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError The exchange failed; read the record to learn whether it was purged.


Module studio.platform.storage_purge_protocol

Class StoragePurgeRequest

Purge one terminal job of the configured workspace.

Class StoragePurgeResponse

The purged record, a refusal text, or a fixed status.

  • validate_outcome()
  • Require a record for success and the ledger's reason for refusal.

Function encode_purge_message(message)

Serialise a validated message as compact, sorted UTF-8 JSON.

Function decode_purge_request(payload)

Decode one exact request frame.

Raises

ValueError Size, encoding, duplicate names, unknown fields or any field is invalid.

Function decode_purge_response(payload)

Decode a response and require that it answers request.

Raises

ValueError The frame is malformed or answers another request or job. PermissionError The authority's policy denied the requester. KeyError The job is not in the workspace. StudioJobRejected The ledger refused the purge; the message is the ledger's.


Module studio.platform.storage_query

Function apply_query(ledger, admission, request)

Answer one decoded request whose workspace matched the service.

Returns

bytes The encoded response, within max_bytes.

Function serve_query(channel)

Serve one peer-verified query after the route's policy allowed it.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, closed by this handler on every outcome. ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing authority; read only. admission : SharedJobAdmission The service's configured admission, for occupancy and limits. gateway : PolicyGateway Existing authorisation owner with its audit sink. workspace : str Nonempty server-bound workspace. expected_api_uid : int Configured API identity. max_bytes : int Frame ceiling for request and response. deadline : float Absolute monotonic wire deadline. initial_frame : bytes or None First frame already read by the owning listener, if any. max_content_bytes : int, optional Independent total page ceiling; defaults to the event custody ceiling plus one frame. Oversized records are refused without truncation.

Raises

ValueError Configuration, request or workspace is invalid; nothing is answered. PermissionError The peer is not the configured API. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Wire transfer fails. AuditSinkError The policy audit cannot persist its decision; nothing is read.


Module studio.platform.storage_query_client

Class QueryReader

Read whole views through a connection factory and bounded exchanges.

  • init(connect)
  • Keep the trusted endpoint settings; nothing is sent yet.
  • records(requester)
  • Return every record of the workspace in creation order.
  • status(requester)
  • Return the authority's aggregate summary for the workspace.
  • purges(requester)
  • Return one operator purge journal page.

Class StatusSummary

The authority's workspace summary, exactly as it serialises it.

  • snapshot()
  • Return the embedded status shape for this summary.

Function query_request(workspace, view)

Build a query with a fresh random request ID.

Raises

pydantic.ValidationError A field does not match the wire grammar.

Function exchange_query(channel, request)

Run one query over a connected, exclusively owned stream.

Each frame obeys max_bytes; the complete reply independently obeys max_content_bytes, defaulting to the event custody ceiling plus one frame. All frames share the original absolute deadline and peer identity.

Raises

PermissionError The peer is not the configured storage identity, or policy denied. ValueError The reply is malformed, answers another request or refused the cursor. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError The exchange failed; reading again is safe.


Module studio.platform.storage_query_pages

Function fit_page(request, items, more)

Encode the longest prefix of items whose response fits the content limit.

Each item is measured by its own compact encoding plus one separator, and the envelope is measured with a cursor of full length, so the estimate never undercounts the encoded page. A shortened page carries a cursor to its last item, so the API continues where it stopped.

Raises

ValueError A single item does not fit the content limit: a configuration fault.

Function read_record_page(ledger, request)

Materialize only records that fit the independently bounded page.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger Authorized service ledger, read without transitions or recovery. request : StorageQueryRequest Workspace-bound records query and creation-order cursor. max_bytes : int Trusted total page ceiling, distinct from the wire frame limit.

Returns

tuple or None Complete records and whether another record remains; None for an unknown cursor. A cursor always names the last returned record, so budget cutoff never loses the first excluded item.

Raises

ValueError One complete record cannot fit the configured total page budget.

Notes

At most one next row is decoded beyond the returned page's memory. SQLite rows are consumed incrementally; a thousand 64 MiB declarations are never fetched into one Python list before the page budget is applied.


Module studio.platform.storage_query_protocol

Class StorageQueryRequest

One bounded read; status takes no cursor.

  • validate_cursor()
  • Refuse a cursor on the aggregate view.

Class StorageQueryResponse

The authority's answer; items and summary belong to the requested view.

  • validate_view()
  • Only an answered page carries items or a cursor; only status a summary.

Function encode_query_message(message)

Serialise a validated message as compact, sorted UTF-8 JSON.

Function decode_query_request(payload)

Decode one exact request frame.

Raises

ValueError Size, encoding, duplicate names, unknown fields or any field is invalid.

Function decode_query_response(payload)

Decode a response and require that it answers request.

Raises

ValueError The frame is malformed or answers another request or view, or the cursor was refused. PermissionError The authority's policy denied the requester.


Module studio.platform.storage_record

Function serve_record_read(channel)

Serve one peer-verified read with policy evaluation before ledger lookup.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, owned and closed by this handler on every outcome. ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing authority; no client-selected root, SQL or embedded fallback. gateway : PolicyGateway Existing authorization owner with its configured audit sink. workspace : str Nonempty server-bound scope; a request cannot select another workspace. expected_api_uid : int Trusted API OS identity, distinct from workers in a qualified deployment. max_bytes : int Explicit byte limit for the request and each response frame. deadline : float Absolute monotonic wire deadline. Audit/SQLite execution has separate bounds; this is not a service-wide scheduling deadline. initial_frame : bytes or None Optional first frame already read through the same peer-verified channel by the owning listener. Direct callers leave this unset. max_content_bytes : int, optional Independent total response ceiling; defaults to the event custody ceiling plus one frame.

Raises

ValueError Configuration or wire request is invalid, or response exceeds its limit. PermissionError The connection peer is not the configured trusted API. TimeoutError A wire transfer exceeds the deadline. EOFError Peer disconnects during a frame. OSError Socket transfer fails. AuditSinkError Existing policy audit cannot persist its decision; no record is sent.

Notes

Denied/missing reads return path-free outcomes, not internal exception text. Admin access remains cross-owner within the server-bound workspace. No job state, reservation, lease or transition is changed by this operation.


Module studio.platform.storage_record_client

Function read_storage_record(channel)

Exchange one bounded request with a peer-verified storage authority.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream, exclusively owned and closed on every outcome. request : StorageRecordRequest Exact validated read request. Requester claims must come from the trusted API authentication adapter, never directly from a compute worker. expected_service_uid : int Service OS identity supplied by trusted configuration, not the peer. max_bytes : int Positive uint32 ceiling for each complete request and response frame. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by both transfers, never renewed. max_content_bytes : int, optional Independent total response ceiling, checked before content receipt.

Returns

StudioJobRecord Complete correlated native snapshot, without creating a local ledger.

Raises

ValueError Configuration, framing, schema, correlation or snapshot is invalid. PermissionError Service peer identity or authority policy refuses the operation. KeyError Authority reports no record in the configured workspace. TimeoutError The transfer deadline expires. EOFError The authority disconnects before a complete response arrives. OSError Socket transfer fails.

Notes

No reconnect, retry, mutation, local fallback or isolated readiness claim. Connection establishment and protected endpoint configuration belong to the runtime lifecycle owner; this function consumes an already connected socket.

Function read_storage_record_at_endpoint(configuration)

Read one record over the configured, peer-verified service endpoint.

The caller must construct request.requester from the API's authenticated principal. The server independently checks policy and binds the workspace. A failed connection or read has no local ledger fallback and no retry. Connection and frame exchange each have the configured finite timeout.


Module studio.platform.storage_record_protocol

Class StorageRequester

Exact delegated principal claim from the configured trusted API peer.

Class StorageRecordRequest

Versioned read-only operation, keeping trace and requester separate.

Class StorageRecordResponse

Exact read outcome; success requires a complete domain snapshot.

Function decode_record_request(payload)

Decode a bounded exact request without accepting ambiguous JSON objects.

Parameters

payload : bytes UTF-8 JSON payload already bounded by the peer-verified frame reader.

Returns

StorageRecordRequest Strict typed request, not an authorization decision.

Raises

ValueError Encoding, nesting, duplicate keys, constants, fields or types are invalid.

Notes

Nullable identity and trace fields remain mandatory. The optional authorized_route selects only actor-owned laboratory reads; omission retains the existing administrator read policy and original wire shape. Workspace and requester checks belong to the authority before ledger access.

Function decode_record_response(payload)

Reconstruct one complete correlated record from a bounded response.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete bounded UTF-8 response from the verified storage peer. request : StorageRecordRequest Original request, supplying expected trace, job and workspace.

Returns

StudioJobRecord Complete native snapshot; no ledger is constructed on the client.

Raises

ValueError Wire schema, JSON, correlation, outcome or snapshot is inconsistent. PermissionError Authority denied the read; no record was supplied. KeyError Authority found no record in the requested workspace.

Notes

Trace matching is not replay authentication. The connected peer is verified separately, and errors never expose a partial or mismatched record.


Module studio.platform.storage_requester

Class Delegation

The allowed request: who asked, through which route, under which trace.

Function delegated(principal)

Open the delegation of one authorised request for its duration.

Parameters

principal : Principal or None The gateway-authenticated principal; None for a public route. method, route : str The HTTP method and route template the gateway authorised. request_id : str The request's trace identifier.

Function current_delegation()

Return the delegation of the request being served, if any.


Module studio.platform.storage_seed_files

Class ReceivedStorageSeedFile

One logical seed and the digest of bytes actually received from the wire.

Class ReceivedStorageSeedFiles

Own all private seed handles until admission transfers or rejects them.

  • init(files)
  • close()
  • Release every unlinked seed file, including after a handler error.
  • enter()
  • exit()

Function receive_storage_seed_files(channel)

Stream one bounded transfer into unlinked files under a held authority.

The caller owns the returned handles and must close them after the admission handler has transferred the inputs. The authority directory descriptor remains owned by the caller. No request path becomes a disk path; each temporary file is private to the storage service UID. A failed or ambiguous transfer closes the channel and every staged file.


Module studio.platform.storage_seed_ingress

Function validate_storage_seed_manifest(manifest)

Validate one declared seed manifest and return deterministic frame order.

Parameters

manifest : mapping of str to int Canonical relative seed names and their nonnegative byte lengths. frame_max_bytes : int Positive upper bound for a single nonempty seed frame. max_seed_bytes, max_seed_entries, max_manifest_bytes : int Aggregate byte, entry and UTF-8 name-byte budgets from trusted settings. deadline : float One absolute monotonic transfer deadline.

Returns

tuple[str, ...] Validated names sorted in the exact sender/receiver transfer order.

Raises

ValueError Manifest, path, size, limits or deadline shape is invalid. TimeoutError The deadline has already expired.

Notes

The service and API client share this path, byte and resource contract. Validation does not read a socket or grant admission authority.

Function receive_storage_seeds(channel)

Read exactly the declared seeds in sorted-name order on one Unix stream.

The manifest is metadata already decoded from a bounded request frame. Each nonempty seed uses one or more nonempty frames, with no renewed deadline. Zero-byte seeds use no frames. The returned bytes are suitable for service-derived replay hashing; no claimed checksum is trusted. The caller still owns authorization, peer-process custody, the one-request connection lifecycle and the worker handoff.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream. manifest : mapping of str to int Exact relative seed names and declared byte lengths from a bounded versioned request; no checksum or path is trusted as an authority. expected_api_uid : int Service-configured OS identity of the trusted API process. frame_max_bytes : int Positive maximum payload size of each nonempty frame. max_seed_bytes, max_seed_entries, max_manifest_bytes : int Explicit aggregate seed, entry and UTF-8 name-byte ceilings. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by every frame in this transfer.

Returns

dict[str, bytes] Complete received seed content, keyed by its validated relative name.

Raises

ValueError Manifest, limits, frame length or deadline is invalid. PermissionError The connected peer does not have the configured API identity. TimeoutError The deadline expires, including a zero-byte transfer. EOFError The peer closes before all declared bytes arrive. OSError The socket transfer fails. Errors after validation close the stream.

Function send_storage_seeds(channel)

Send received API seed bytes in the receiver's deterministic order.

The caller places manifest in its preceding versioned request frame. This function checks it against a snapshot of the exact bytes before any seed frame. Invalid content refuses before transfer; an ambiguous transfer closes without retry. The caller owns the connection afterward.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream. seed_inputs : mapping of str to bytes Immutable seed bytes from the authenticated API request. manifest : mapping of str to int Name/size declarations already sent in the bounded request frame. expected_service_uid : int Trusted configured service OS identity. frame_max_bytes : int Positive maximum payload size of each nonempty frame. max_seed_bytes, max_seed_entries, max_manifest_bytes : int Explicit aggregate seed, entry and UTF-8 name-byte ceilings. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by every frame in this transfer.

Raises

ValueError Seeds, limits or deadline are invalid before transfer. PermissionError The connected peer is not the configured service identity. TimeoutError The absolute transfer deadline expires. OSError The socket transfer fails. Ambiguous transfers close the stream.


Module studio.platform.storage_service

Class StorageServiceConfiguration

The boundary plus the service-owned admission limits, audit and cadence.

Class StorageService

The authority's ledger, admission, gateway and listener for one run.

  • init(configuration)
  • Open the ledger and collaborators; nothing is bound yet.

  • serve_once()
  • Serve one request, or reconcile when idle and the interval elapsed.

Function load_service_configuration(path)

Read and strictly validate the service configuration file.

Raises

ValueError JSON, duplicate fields, types, values or the boundary are invalid. OSError The file cannot be read.

Function main(argv)

Run the storage authority until SIGTERM or SIGINT.

Parameters

argv : Sequence[str] or None --configuration PATH; None reads sys.argv.

Returns

int 0 after an orderly stop. Startup refusal raises instead.


Module studio.platform.storage_spool_staging

Class StagedGeneration

Held descriptors of one staged generation and its worker directory.

The caller owns both descriptors and closes them with :meth:close; they are never passed to a worker.

  • close()
  • Close both held descriptors.
  • enter()
  • Return this staged generation.
  • exit(exc_type, exc_value, traceback)
  • Close the descriptors without suppressing caller failures.

Function canonical_parts(relative_path)

Return the components of a printable, canonical, confined relative path.

Raises

ValueError The path is not text, not printable, escapes, or is not canonical.

Function stage_generation(spool_root, descriptor)

Create one generation's inputs and worker directory in the compute spool.

Parameters

spool_root : Path Absolute compute spool root from trusted configuration. descriptor : WorkerDescriptor Validated descriptor naming the job, generation and task. payload : bytes Task payload JSON already validated for this job. seeds : Mapping[str, bytes] Submission seeds by canonical relative path. group : int Compute group that must read the inputs and write the worker directory.

Returns

StagedGeneration Held generation and worker directories.

Raises

ValueError The spool root is relative or a seed path is not canonical. PermissionError A reused job directory has other ownership or mode. FileExistsError The generation, or any entry inside it, already exists. OSError A directory or file cannot be created, owned or written.


Module studio.platform.storage_supervision

Function apply_supervision(ledger, request)

Apply one decoded request on behalf of the verified API generation.

Parameters

ledger : StudioJobLedger Existing storage authority. request : SupervisionStartRequest or SupervisionHeartbeatRequest Request whose workspace was already matched to workspace. supervisor : str host:pid:token of the pidfd-verified API peer. workspace : str Server-configured workspace; jobs elsewhere are reported not found.

Raises

ValueError Configuration, request or workspace is invalid; nothing is written. PermissionError The peer is not the configured API or its generation cannot be proved. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError Wire transfer fails.


Module studio.platform.storage_supervision_client

Function supervision_start_request(configuration)

Build a start request for the configured workspace.

Parameters

configuration : StorageBoundaryConfiguration Trusted boundary configuration supplying the workspace. job_id : str Admitted job ID. worker : str host:pid:token identity verified at the grant endpoint.

Exchange one request over a connected, exclusively owned stream.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Connected Unix stream to the storage authority, closed on every outcome. request : SupervisionStartRequest or SupervisionHeartbeatRequest Request to send. expected_service_uid : int Configured storage identity, checked before each frame. max_bytes : int Frame ceiling for request and response. deadline : float Absolute monotonic deadline shared by both transfers.

Returns

StorageSupervisionResponse Outcome correlated with request.

Raises

ValueError The reply is malformed or answers another request. PermissionError The peer is not the configured storage identity. TimeoutError, EOFError, OSError The exchange failed; whether the authority acted is unknown.

Function exchange_supervision_request(configuration, request)

Send one request to the configured, peer-verified storage endpoint.

Parameters

configuration : StorageBoundaryConfiguration Trusted endpoint, identities, frame ceiling and transfer timeout. request : SupervisionStartRequest or SupervisionHeartbeatRequest Request for the configured workspace.

Returns

Module studio.platform.storage_supervision_protocol

Class SupervisionStartRequest

Mark an admitted job running and bind the observed worker generation.

worker is the host:pid:token identity the API verified at its grant endpoint; the authority checks it again before registration.

Class SupervisionHeartbeatRequest

Renew the delegated owner's lease on a live job.

Class StorageSupervisionResponse

The authority's outcome for one supervision request.

started answers start; renewed answers heartbeat; cancelling answers either for a job whose cancellation is recorded, so the owning API stops its worker; refused carries a fixed reason and changed nothing except, for a start of a job already cancelling, its recorded start time.

  • validate_outcome()
  • Match outcome, operation and reason.

Function encode_supervision_message(message)

Serialise a validated request or response as sorted compact JSON.

Parameters

message : SupervisionStartRequest, SupervisionHeartbeatRequest or StorageSupervisionResponse Already validated message.

bytes UTF-8 JSON; every field is bounded by the schema.

Function decode_supervision_request(payload)

Decode one exact request frame from the verified API peer.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload. max_bytes : int Configured frame ceiling.

Returns

SupervisionStartRequest or SupervisionHeartbeatRequest Strictly typed request selected by operation; not an ownership decision.

Raises

ValueError Size, encoding, duplicate names, unknown fields or any field shape is invalid.

Function decode_supervision_response(payload)

Decode a response and require exact correlation with the sent request.

Parameters

payload : bytes Complete frame payload from the verified storage peer. request : SupervisionStartRequest or SupervisionHeartbeatRequest The request this response must answer. max_bytes : int Configured frame ceiling.

Module studio.platform.storage_transport

Function read_frame(channel)

Receive one nonempty frame within an absolute deadline.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream; peer authentication is external. max_bytes : int Maximum permitted payload bytes, from one through uint32 maximum. deadline : float Absolute monotonic time in seconds, shared by header and payload reads. The remaining interval must fit the platform timeout range.

Returns

bytes Complete payload; the four-byte network-order header is not returned.

Raises

ValueError Invalid arguments or an empty/oversized declared payload. TimeoutError The absolute deadline expires. EOFError The peer closes before the complete frame arrives. OSError Socket transfer fails. Transfer failures close the connection.

Function write_frame(channel, payload)

Send one nonempty byte payload under a single absolute deadline.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Exclusively owned connected Unix stream; peer authentication is external. payload : bytes Nonempty immutable payload, excluding the generated length header. max_bytes : int Maximum payload bytes, from one through uint32 maximum. deadline : float Finite absolute monotonic time in seconds for the entire transfer. The remaining interval must fit the platform timeout range.

Raises

ValueError Arguments or payload type/size are invalid; no transfer is attempted. TimeoutError The total transfer deadline expires, including sender backpressure. OSError Socket transfer fails. Transfer failures close the connection.

Notes

Header and body use separate sends to avoid a combined payload allocation. Success restores the caller's timeout. Failure never retries a mutation.


Module studio.platform.storage_view_content

Class StorageViewContent

Correlated small header binding one complete storage snapshot response.

Function view_content_limit(frame_max_bytes, maximum)

Validate independent view content and frame limits.

Parameters

Function read_view_content(channel)

Read an inline or chunked response without weakening its inner grammar.

Parameters

channel : socket.socket Same exclusively owned authority connection as the original request. content_schema : str Expected inner grammar; a chunk header cannot select another one. request_id : str, optional Original correlation checked before allocating content. expected_uid : int Configured storage authority identity, checked on every frame. frame_max_bytes : int Unchanged positive uint32 frame ceiling. deadline : float One absolute request/response deadline. max_content_bytes : int, optional Independent trusted total response ceiling checked before content receipt.

Returns

bytes Exact complete response for the owning record/query decoder to validate.

Raises

ValueError Metadata, correlation, content size, chunk length or SHA is invalid.


Module studio.platform.storage_worker_bootstrap

Class WorkerDescriptor

API-written selection for one generation; the launcher never reads it.

supervisor is the API process generation the worker guard follows. The task is selected by reviewed name and route, never by import path.

Function read_worker_descriptor(spool_root)

Read and check the API-written descriptor for one exact generation.

Parameters

spool_root : Path Absolute compute spool root from the launcher configuration. job_id, generation : str Launcher-supplied identifiers; the descriptor must repeat them. server_uid : int Configured API identity that must own every spool directory used.

Returns

WorkerDescriptor Strictly validated descriptor whose task pairing is in the catalogue.

Raises

ValueError Identifiers, size, JSON, schema or task pairing is invalid. PermissionError A spool directory or the descriptor is not API-owned or is writable by others, or a path component is a symbolic link. OSError A spool entry is missing.

Function main(argv)

Confine this process, read its descriptor and run the gated worker.

Parameters

argv : Sequence[str] or None Launcher-built argument vector; None reads sys.argv.

Returns

int The existing worker's exit status, or 2 when confinement or the descriptor refuses before the worker starts. No task is imported on any refusal path.


Module studio.platform.storage_worker_grant

Class ExpectedWorker

Worker process generation reported by the trusted launcher.

uid is the configured compute identity, pid and start_token identify the launched process generation. The values are launcher observations; the endpoint compares them with kernel peer credentials.

  • post_init()
  • Refuse root, non-positive or malformed expectations before any accept.

Class WorkerGrantEndpoint

Own one single-use grant socket inside a held API directory descriptor.

The caller keeps directory_fd open for the endpoint's lifetime and never passes it to a worker. :meth:open refuses an existing entry, so a stale or substituted socket is never adopted. :meth:close removes only the inode it created. The endpoint grants at most one worker and then closes its listener.

  • init(directory_fd, directory_path, name)
  • Retain the held directory, its canonical path and the endpoint name.
  • path()
  • Return the absolute endpoint path the worker must connect to.
  • open()
  • Bind and listen on a new socket inode through the held directory.
  • grant(expected)
  • Verify the launched worker, commit its identity and send one grant.
  • close()
  • Close the listener and remove only this endpoint's unchanged socket.
  • enter()
  • Open the endpoint and return its single owner.
  • exit(exc_type, exc_value, traceback)
  • Close the endpoint without suppressing caller failures.

Function validate_grant_name(name)

Return the grant endpoint name when it is the fixed per-generation name.

Each launch generation has its own spool directory, so the endpoint name itself is constant and short enough to keep the full socket path within the Unix limit.

Parameters

name : str Final path component; it must equal :data:GRANT_ENDPOINT_NAME.

Returns

str The unchanged name.

Raises

ValueError The name has any other value.

Function receive_socket_grant(path)

Connect to the API grant endpoint and require the exact ready grant.

Parameters

path : Path Absolute endpoint path supplied by the trusted launcher descriptor. expected_server_uid : int Configured API identity that must own the accepting socket.

Raises

ValueError The path is relative or its name does not match the grant grammar. PermissionError The connected server is not the configured API identity. RuntimeError EOF, a malformed token, trailing bytes or the three-second reader deadline refuses the grant; no task may be imported. OSError The endpoint is missing or refuses the connection.


Module studio.platform.storage_worker_launcher

Class WorkerLauncher

Serve bounded launch/stop/status requests from the configured API UID.

Call :meth:start, then :meth:serve_once repeatedly from one long-lived thread, then :meth:stop. Every generation stays recorded until max_records forces the oldest stopped record out, so retries and lost replies resolve to the same outcome.

  • init(configuration)
  • Retain configuration; nothing is bound or spawned yet.
  • privileged()
  • Return whether this launcher can switch to a different compute UID.
  • start()
  • Become a subreaper and bind the API-only endpoint.
  • maintain()
  • Observe trees, collect leader exits and handle adopted processes.
  • serve_once()
  • Handle one request, or return after the transfer timeout with none.
  • handle(request)
  • Apply one decoded request and return the observed outcome.
  • stop()
  • Close the endpoint and remove only its own unchanged socket.
  • enter()
  • Start the launcher and return its single owner.
  • exit(exc_type, exc_value, traceback)
  • Close the endpoint without suppressing caller failures.

Module studio.platform.storage_worker_spawn

Function generation_spool_ready(root, job_id, generation, owner)

Return whether the API-prepared job and generation directories exist.

Parameters

root : Path Configured compute spool root. job_id, generation : str Validated identifiers from the launcher request. owner : int Configured API identity that must own both directories.

Returns

bool True only when both components are real directories owned by owner; symbolic links and missing entries yield False.

Function compute_identity_processes(uid)

Return PIDs of processes whose /proc entry is owned by uid.

A process that exits during the scan is skipped.

Function spawn_worker_bootstrap(config)

Start one fixed bootstrap for an exact job generation.

Parameters

config : LauncherConfiguration Operator configuration supplying interpreter, import roots, spool, API identity, compute identity and ceilings. job_id, generation : str Validated identifiers of the admitted job generation. privileged : bool Whether this launcher switches to the configured compute identity.

Returns

subprocess.Popen[bytes] The bootstrap, leading its own session, with no inherited descriptors and standard streams connected to /dev/null.

Raises

OSError The interpreter cannot be executed or the identity switch fails.


Module studio.platform.storage_worker_tree

Class TrackedProcess

One observed process generation held by an open pidfd.

start_token is the /proc/<pid>/stat start time read after the pidfd was opened and while the parent relation was confirmed.

Class WorkerTree

Launcher custody of one worker leader and its observed descendants.

The tree owns every pidfd it opens and closes them in :meth:close. leader must be a direct child of the launcher so the launcher can reap it; descendants are reaped by their parents or by :func:reap_adopted.

  • init(leader)
  • Take ownership of the leader pidfd.
  • leader()
  • Return the launched worker leader.
  • owns(pid)
  • Return whether pid is an observed member of this tree.
  • observe()
  • Walk from every live member and track newly visible children.
  • live()
  • Return tracked members whose pidfd does not yet report exit.
  • kill()
  • SIGKILL every observed member until none is live or rounds run out.
  • close()
  • Close every pidfd held by this tree.

Function process_control(option, value)

Apply one Linux prctl option with a single integer argument.

Parameters

option : int PR_* option number from linux/prctl.h. value : int First option argument; the remaining arguments are zero.

Raises

OSError The kernel refuses the call; the kernel errno is preserved.

Function become_child_subreaper()

Mark the calling process as a child subreaper.

Raises

OSError The kernel refuses the prctl call.

Function process_start_token(pid)

Return the /proc start time of pid as a decimal string.

Raises

OSError The process metadata is unavailable.

Function reap_adopted(trees)

Reap adopted zombies and kill adopted processes no tree has attributed.

Parameters

trees : list[WorkerTree] Every tree the launcher currently holds. leaders : set[int] Worker leader PIDs whose status the launcher collects through their own process handles; they are never reaped here.

Returns

tuple[int, ...] PIDs of unattributed adopted processes that were sent SIGKILL.

Notes

Every listed process is a child of the calling launcher, which collects children only on its single serving thread. No other process can reap or reparent it first, so its PID cannot be reused while this call runs. A kill the kernel refuses to deliver leaves that process unreported.


Module studio.platform.studio_job_service

Class StudioJobService

Job submission, observation, control and custody used by the API.

  • submit_process_task()
  • Submit one process task and return its record.
  • wait(job_id, timeout_seconds)

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON-serializable evidence summary.

Function build_training_evidence_summary(record, artifact_reader)

Return a verified Training Monitor evidence summary when available.

Parameters

Raises

ValueError If payload is not a JSON object suitable for a training configuration.

Function run_training_attach_process_task(context, payload)

Run a warm-start training job seeded with restored, verified weights.

The worker reads the confined seed weight and metadata inputs, verifies and materializes them through the shared materializer, then runs a training job that loads the restored state dictionary at the epoch-zero checkpoint boundary before training forward. On success it writes a path-free studio.training.weight-restore-attach.v1 evidence artifact recording the verified digests, the resolved target architecture, and the architecture fingerprint that gated compatibility. A strict load of an incompatible architecture fails the job before training begins.

Parameters

Returns

dict[str, object] Path-free terminal training metadata augmented with the attach evidence.

Raises

ValueError If the payload is malformed or the restored weights are incompatible with the target architecture.


Module studio.platform.training_weight_loader

Function load_training_weight_state_dict(payload)

Deserialize a verified torch checkpoint payload into a state dictionary.

The loader is the trusted boundary that runs only after :func:sc_neurocore.studio.platform.training_weights.materialize_training_weight_payload has verified the payload digest and byte size against the restore plan. It restricts unpickling to tensor storages and primitive containers through weights_only=True and rejects any payload that does not carry the expected portable training checkpoint schema or a string-keyed model state dictionary.

Parameters

payload: Raw bytes of a studio.training.torch-state-dict.v1 checkpoint that was produced by the Studio Training Monitor and already passed digest verification.

Returns

Mapping[str, object] The string-keyed model state dictionary extracted from the checkpoint.

Raises

ValueError If the payload cannot be safely deserialized, does not carry the expected schema, or does not contain a string-keyed model state dictionary.

Function load_training_resume_block(payload)

Deserialize the saved run position from a verified checkpoint payload.

Same trusted boundary and same weights_only=True restriction as :func:load_training_weight_state_dict: the resume block holds optimiser tensors and plain generator state, never opaque pickled objects, precisely so this guarantee survives.

Parameters

payload: Raw bytes of a checkpoint that already passed digest verification.

Returns

Mapping[str, object] The resume_state block, or an empty mapping when the checkpoint was written by a build that recorded no position. An empty mapping supports a warm start and nothing more.

Raises

ValueError The payload cannot be safely deserialized or carries an unsupported schema.

Raises

ValueError If the schema, classification, status, source identifiers, or embedded materialization summary are invalid.

Function training_architecture_fingerprint(config)

Return a SHA-256 fingerprint of a training config's architecture fields.

The fingerprint folds only the configuration fields that determine the model state-dictionary shape (dataset, hidden layer widths, and the learnable beta/threshold flags, plus event input/output dimensions and a model kind other than spiking). Two configurations whose fingerprints match produce architecturally compatible models, so the fingerprint identifies whether restored weights can be attached to a target training configuration.

Parameters

Returns

str SHA-256 hex digest of the canonical architecture field projection.

Function build_training_weight_restore_attach_evidence(materialization)

Module studio.precision_compare

Function resolve_word_format(q_format)

Parse a Studio Q-format label into (data_width, fraction).

Q8.8 is 16 bits with 8 fractional bits; the kernel supports total widths from 8 to 32 bits with at least one integer bit.

Function precision_compare(equations, threshold, reset, params, init, dt, duration, current)

Run float64, bit-true fixed-point and parameter-quantised comparisons.

Function save_project(name, state)

Save full Studio state as a new immutable revision.

Parameters

name: Workspace name; one directory under the Studio project root. state: Complete Studio state to persist. expected_revision: The revision the caller edited. None means the caller believes the workspace is new. A save from a revision that is no longer current is refused with :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.workspace_store.WorkspaceConflict rather than silently replacing the other editor's work.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Path-free evidence metadata, including the revision written and the revision it descends from.

Raises

ValueError The name is unusable, the state is not an object, or it carries an identifier that would later interpolate into HDL or MLIR source. WorkspaceConflict The workspace moved on while the caller was editing.

Function load_project(name)

Load one revision of a saved workspace, defaulting to the current one.

Parameters

name: Workspace name. revision: Revision to read. None reads the current one; an earlier number reads history, which no later save can have rewritten.

Returns

dict[str, Any] The stored document, or {"error": ...} when the workspace or the requested revision does not exist.

Raises

ValueError The name is unusable, the stored document is not a workspace this build reads, or it carries an unsafe HDL-facing identifier.

Function list_projects()

List every saved workspace with its current revision.

A workspace whose revisions cannot be read is reported with a null revision rather than omitted, so a corrupt store is visible instead of looking empty.

Function delete_project(name)

Move a workspace to the recoverable trash.

Nothing is erased: the workspace and its whole revision history move aside, and :func:restore_project brings them back. The returned token identifies the deleted copy.

Function list_deleted_projects()

List the workspaces waiting in the recoverable trash, newest first.

Function restore_project(token)

Restore one deleted workspace under its original name.

Restoring onto a name that is in use is refused rather than performed: overwriting a live workspace is the loss this store exists to prevent.

Function branch_refused_edit(name, state)

Keep an edit a save conflict refused, as a branch of its own.

A conflicting save is refused so it cannot overwrite the other editor's work. Without this the refused edit exists only in the browser that made it, and the conflict message asks for it to be reapplied by hand. Here it becomes the first revision of its own workspace, so both edits survive.

Parameters

name : str Workspace whose save was refused. state : Mapping[str, Any] The refused Studio state. base_revision : int Revision the editor was working from. branch_name : str, optional Name for the branch; defaults to one naming the source and revision.

Returns

dict branched name, the source from, and base_revision; or an error when the source workspace or revision does not exist.

Function fork_project(name, new_name)

Copy one revision of a workspace into a new one.

The source workspace is untouched; the fork starts at revision 1.

Function project_revisions(name)

Return every stored revision of one workspace, oldest first.

Function review_comments(name)

Return a workspace's review comments, each checked against its revision.

Raises

KeyError The workspace does not exist.

Function comment_on_revision(name, revision)

Append a review comment bound to one immutable revision.

Raises

KeyError The workspace or the revision does not exist. ValueError The comment is empty or too long, or replies to a comment on another revision.

Function export_project(name)

Return one revision as a self-contained document for transfer.

Function import_project(name, document)

Create a workspace from an exported document.

Function run_pipeline(graph, target)

Validate, simulate, lower, co-simulate and synthesise a Studio network.

The hardware is the network the caller drew: the graph is lowered with each catalogue model's own step (:mod:sc_neurocore.studio.network_hardware) or refused with every reason it cannot be. The compiled RTL is then run beside its bit-true model and the Studio's own run (:mod:sc_neurocore.studio.network_hardware_cosim); synthesis runs only when the RTL reproduces its model on every co-simulated step. The result's trace binds the lowering's input digest, the RTL, the model and the synthesised source.

Before the lowering existed the step compiled one hardcoded leaky integrate-and-fire equation, ignoring the graph, and later refused every graph; neither was the caller's network.

Parameters

graph: Studio network graph payload. target: Studio synthesis target identifier. q_format: Q8.8 or Q16.16, the fixed-point format of the hardware. process_limits: Optional host-supported CPU and address-space ceilings for the downstream synthesis child process.

Returns

dict[str, Any] success, the step it ended at, each step's payload under steps, and trace once the RTL was built; a stop carries error and, when the lowering refused, every reasons entry.

Raises

ValueError When q_format is not one the pipeline compiles to.


Module studio.project_manifest

Class StudioProjectSaveManifest

Path-free metadata returned after persisting a Studio project.

Parameters

name: Sanitized project name. saved_at: Unix timestamp stored in the project payload. version: Studio project payload version. state_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the canonical project state JSON. project_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the canonical full project payload JSON. evidence_classification: Stable evidence lane label for saved project workspaces. status: Terminal status for this project-save evidence object.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the public, path-free project save response.

Function build_project_save_manifest()

Build digest-backed metadata for a persisted Studio project.

Parameters

name: Sanitized project name. saved_at: Unix timestamp stored in the project payload. version: Studio project payload version. state: Project state object persisted under state. project_payload: Full persisted project payload.

Returns

StudioProjectSaveManifest Path-free metadata suitable for API responses, logs, and evidence manifests.

Raises

ValueError If the state or payload cannot be encoded as portable JSON.

Function dump_project_payload(payload)

Return the durable JSON representation for a saved project payload.

The writer keeps the human-readable indentation used by existing Studio project files, while rejecting non-standard JSON values such as NaN and Infinity so saved projects remain portable across runtimes.


Module studio.readiness_seal

Function checkout_available(repo_root)

Return whether repo_root is a checkout the receipts can be re-verified in.

Receipt subjects include the validator tests and the descriptor sources, so both trees must be present; an installation or an unpacked source distribution has neither the tests nor this layout.

Function build_seal(names, verified_detail)

Return the seal of names, each derived by verified_detail.

Function render_seal(seal)

Return the seal exactly as it is written: sorted keys, no timestamps.

Function sealed_detail(class_name, path)

Return the sealed verified block of one model.

A model the seal does not hold was not verified when the distribution was built; it is reported unverified with that reason, never given tiers.


Module studio.replay_notebook

Function model_citation(class_name)

Cite one catalogue model from its own descriptor, or say it names no source.

Parameters

class_name: The catalogue class name.

Returns

str A Markdown sentence naming the model and its source.

Function notebook_from_pack(pack)

Return a Jupyter notebook (nbformat 4) that cites and replays pack.

Parameters

pack: A sealed replay pack, as :func:~sc_neurocore.studio.replay_pack.build_replay_pack returns it.

Returns

dict The notebook document, ready to be written as .ipynb JSON.


Module studio.replay_pack

Class ReplayRejected

Raised when a pack cannot be replayed, before anything is executed.

Parameters

stage : {"schema", "request", "identity", "revision", "runtime"} Which admission step refused. reason : str Deliberately authored explanation; never generated exception text. differences : sequence of str, optional Named blocks or fields that differ, for a drift refusal.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class ReplayAdmission

The outcome of admitting a pack, before the experiment runs.

Attributes

spec : ExperimentSpec The experiment re-resolved in this process. identity_sha256 : str Identity digest of the re-resolved experiment; equal to the pack's. runtime_differences : tuple of str Runtime fields that differ from the sealed environment. Non-empty only when the caller admitted runtime drift explicitly.

Function experiment_identity(public)

Return the scientific blocks of a public specification.

Parameters

public : mapping A public :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.experiment_spec.ExperimentSpec projection.

Returns

dict The blocks named in :data:IDENTITY_BLOCKS that the specification actually carries, in that order.

Function experiment_identity_sha256(public)

Return the digest of a specification's scientific identity.

Function pinned_request(request, spec)

Return the request fields that re-resolve to this experiment.

A drawn or defaulted seed is written back into the request and the trial is sealed as replay, so the pack reproduces the run it recorded instead of drawing new randomness. A deterministic experiment carries no seed, because the run contract refuses one.

Parameters

request : mapping The original request. Unknown keys are dropped here rather than travelling into the pack. spec : ExperimentSpec The experiment resolved from that request.

Returns

dict A JSON-safe request with pinned randomness.

Function replay_expectation(result)

Summarise a run result into the complete expectation a replay must meet.

Every scalar and vector trace contributes full samples and a float64 digest, permitting a pointwise error bound rather than a summary comparison. Spike events are carried in full: they are the observable a spiking experiment exists to produce.

Parameters

result : mapping A result from :func:~sc_neurocore.studio.experiment_spec.run_experiment.

Returns

dict The expectation block of a replay pack.

Raises

ReplayRejected When raw trajectories are omitted; display projections cannot replace them.

Function build_replay_pack(request)

Resolve, pin, execute and seal one experiment into a replay pack.

The pack is built from the pinned experiment, so what it promises is exactly what a replay of it produces. A fresh stochastic trial is executed once with the seed it drew.

Parameters

request : mapping A Studio simulate request (catalogue model or equation playground). max_steps : int Largest synchronous step count; a larger run is refused by the experiment contract with execution_mode = job_required.

Returns

dict A studio.replay-pack.v2 document.

Raises

ModelInputError From the run contract: unknown model, parameter or unsupported step. ExperimentRejected From the experiment contract: invalid randomness, no complete step or an oversized run.

Function verify_replay_pack(pack)

Admit a pack for replay, refusing before any side effect.

The pack's request is re-resolved against the installed package and the resulting scientific identity is compared with the sealed one. Nothing is executed until every refusal has been ruled out.

Parameters

pack : mapping A studio.replay-pack.v2 document. allow_runtime_drift : bool Admit a package, interpreter, NumPy or platform difference and report it, instead of refusing. Never implicit. max_steps : int Largest synchronous step count for the re-resolved run.

Returns

ReplayAdmission The re-resolved experiment and any admitted runtime differences.

Raises

ReplayRejected Unsupported schema, unexecutable request, model or experiment drift, or unadmitted runtime drift.

Function compare_to_expectation(expectation, result)

Compare a replayed result with a sealed expectation.

Spike events are compared exactly; a spike train is an observable, not a rounding matter. Scalar and vector state traces are compared sample by sample when their digests differ. Legacy traces without samples are exact-only; extrema never establish a tolerance bound.

Parameters

expectation : mapping The expectation block of a replay pack. result : mapping The result of replaying the pack's experiment. tolerance : float Largest absolute state deviation still called a match. Zero means the replay must be bit-identical.

Returns

dict verdict, the list of differences and the observed expectation.

Raises

ReplayRejected If tolerance is negative/nonfinite or complete raw evidence is unavailable.

Function replay_pack(pack)

Admit, execute and judge one replay pack.

Parameters

pack : mapping A studio.replay-pack.v2 document. allow_runtime_drift : bool Admit and report a runtime difference instead of refusing. tolerance : float Largest absolute state deviation still called a match. max_steps : int Largest synchronous step count for the replay.

Returns

dict The comparison outcome with the admitted experiment digests and any runtime differences.

Raises

ReplayRejected From :func:verify_replay_pack, before the experiment runs.

Function load_replay_pack(path)

Read a replay pack from a regular file.

Parameters

path : pathlib.Path Path to the pack. It must be a regular file (a directory, device or dangling symlink is refused) no larger than 32 MiB.

Returns

dict The parsed pack; its contents are validated on admission, not here.

Raises

ReplayRejected The path is not a readable regular file, is too large, or does not contain a JSON object.

Function main(argv)

Replay a pack from the command line.

Exit code 0 means the experiment reproduced, 1 that it did not, and 2 that the pack was refused before it ran.


Module studio.runtime_state_packet

Class ForeignRuntimeError

Raised when a foreign runtime returns something the boundary cannot use.

Class RuntimeStatePacket

What one foreign runtime transports across the boundary.

Attributes

runtime : str Stable lane identifier, such as rust-batch. exports : tuple of str Declared-state variable names the lane can return, in the model's own vocabulary. A lane that returns a value it cannot name in that vocabulary declares nothing for it. carries_initial_snapshot : bool Whether the lane reports the state the run started from. carries_parameters : bool Whether the lane accepts parameter overrides. A lane that does not runs the model's defaults whatever the caller asked for.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the packet as evidence and receipts record it.

Class PacketCoverage

How much of one model's declared state a packet accounts for.

Attributes

runtime : str The lane the coverage was computed for. carried : tuple of str Declared variables the lane returns, in declaration order. dropped : tuple of str Declared variables it does not return. unnameable : tuple of str Values the lane exports that this model does not declare. They cannot be placed in the payload under those names, because the model has no such state.

  • complete()
  • Return whether the lane carries every declared variable.
  • names_nothing()
  • Return whether the lane can name none of this model's state.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the coverage as evidence and receipts record it.

Function packet_coverage(packet, declared_names)

Return what a packet accounts for against one model's declared state.

Parameters

packet : RuntimeStatePacket The lane's transport contract. declared_names : sequence of str The model's declared state variables, in declaration order.

Returns

PacketCoverage Which declared variables the lane carries, which it drops, and which of its exports this model cannot name.

Function validate_scalar_trace(values)

Return one scalar trace from a foreign runtime, or refuse it.

Structure only: the trace must be one-dimensional real numbers of exactly the requested length. Whether the values are finite is the caller's question, because a diverged membrane voltage is a failed simulation rather than a malformed boundary.

Parameters

values : object Whatever the lane returned for this trace. runtime : str Lane identifier, named in the refusal. name : str Variable name, named in the refusal. n_steps : int Number of steps the run asked for.

Returns

numpy.ndarray The trace as float64.

Raises

ForeignRuntimeError If the trace is not one-dimensional real numbers of length n_steps.

Function validate_spike_indices(values)

Return spike sample positions from a foreign runtime, or refuse them.

Parameters

values : object Whatever the lane returned for its spike indices. runtime : str Lane identifier, named in the refusal. n_steps : int Number of steps the run asked for; every index must fall inside it.

Returns

list of int The indices, in the order the lane produced them.

Raises

ForeignRuntimeError If the indices are not a one-dimensional integer series inside the run and in increasing order. Order matters: the statistics take differences between consecutive entries, and an unordered series would report a negative interval as a real measurement.


Module studio.simulation

Function simulate(equations, threshold, reset, params, init, dt, duration, current, protocol, frequency_hz, seed, max_steps, bias)

Run an equation-neuron simulation and return its complete raw result.

Parameters

equations : list[str] Differential equations or map updates, one per state variable. threshold, reset : str or None Spike condition and reset assignments. params, init : dict or None Parameter values and initial state. dt, duration : float Step in milliseconds and requested run length; capped at max_steps steps (:data:MAX_STEPS by default; the experiment contract refuses a longer synchronous run instead of shortening it). current, protocol, frequency_hz : float, str, float Injection protocol. bias : float Level a sine oscillates about; zero, and refused for any other protocol, unless given. seed : int or None Seed of the diffusion-noise generator (the xi symbol). None draws from the process-global numpy.random stream, which is not reproducible; the experiment contract always passes a seed for a stochastic playground run and rejects one for noise-free equations.

Returns

dict[str, Any] The display projection (time, states, current_trace), spikes and statistics, the observation clock, the state_layout (source equations), exact initial_state and final_state snapshots, the full-resolution raw block and the display sample-index map.

Raises

ValueError When the duration yields no complete step or the equations are invalid. ModelSimulationFailure When a step raises or a state variable becomes non-finite (reported with the step index and the time that step started, never as a NaN trace).

Function fi_curve(equations, threshold, reset, params, init, dt, duration, i_min, i_max, i_steps)

Sweep current and compute firing rate at each level.


Module studio.simulation_manifest

Class StudioSimulationRunManifest

Path-free metadata for one Studio simulation result.

Parameters

source: Simulation surface that produced the result. input_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the canonical request payload. result_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the canonical result payload without this manifest. raw_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the canonical raw block (full-resolution traces, spikes and clock rules), empty when the result carries no raw block. dt: Effective simulation time step in milliseconds. n_steps: Number of executed simulation steps. sample_count: Number of display samples returned in time. spike_count: Number of spikes detected during the simulation. state_variables: Sorted names of the state variables recorded at every step. raw_included: Whether the raw block carries the full-resolution traces. layout_source: Where the state layout came from (descriptor, equations or undeclared), empty for a result without a layout. state_custody_complete: Whether every declared variable was recorded and nothing undeclared changed during the run. observation_clock: Clock rule of the recorded samples (post-step), empty when the result carries none. experiment_sha256: SHA-256 digest of the resolved experiment specification (studio.experiment-spec.v1), empty when the result carries none. trial: replay (deterministic replay of a recorded trial) or fresh (independent stochastic trial with a drawn seed), empty when absent. evidence_classification: Stable evidence lane label for simulation runs. status: Terminal status for this simulation evidence object.

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the public, path-free simulation run manifest.

Function build_simulation_run_manifest()

Build digest-backed reproducibility metadata for a simulation result.

Parameters

source: Simulation surface that produced the result. request_payload: Request body used to run the simulation. result_payload: Result payload after classification, without relying on local paths.

Returns

StudioSimulationRunManifest Path-free metadata suitable for UI display, exported JSON, and evidence bundles.

Raises

ValueError If request or result payloads cannot be encoded as portable JSON.


Module studio.state_layout

Class DeclaredState

One state variable as the model declares it.

Parameters

name : str Attribute name on the model instance (or variable name of an equation neuron). role : {"biological", "auxiliary", "unassigned"} Role from the canonical schema profile; unassigned when the class has no bound profile or the profile does not name the variable. unit : str Declared unit, empty when undeclared. meaning : str Declared meaning, empty when undeclared. declared_init : float or None Declared initial value, None when the declaration carries none.

Class ObservedState

A declared state variable with the shape observed on the instance.

Parameters

declared : DeclaredState The declaration. kind : {"scalar", "vector"} or None Observed kind; None when the variable is not observable. shape : tuple of int or None Observed shape (() for a scalar); None when not observable. observable : bool Whether the run can record the variable. reason : str Why the variable is not observable (empty when it is). trace : {"per-step", "snapshots-only", "none"} How the run records the variable: every step, only in the initial and final snapshots (a vector beyond the raw budget), or not at all.

  • name()
  • Attribute name of the variable.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free public description of the variable.

Class StateLayout

The declared state layout of one run and its custody verdict.

Parameters

source : {"descriptor", "equations", "undeclared"} Where the declaration comes from. schema_profile : str Canonical schema stem whose profile assigned the roles, else empty. variables : tuple of ObservedState Every declared variable, observable or not. undeclared_mutable : tuple of str Instance attributes that changed between the initial and the final snapshot without being declared (private registers included).

  • observable()
  • Variables the run records.
  • per_step()
  • Variables recorded at every step.
  • scalars()
  • Observable scalar variables (the ones the display projection shows).
  • incomplete_reasons()
  • Return why the recorded state is not the complete declared state.
  • complete()
  • Whether every declared variable was recorded and nothing undeclared moved.
  • with_undeclared_mutable(names)
  • Return a copy carrying the start-to-end mutation audit.
  • with_custody_notes(notes)
  • Return a copy carrying backend custody limitations.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the path-free public layout with its custody verdict.

Class StateObservationError

Raised when an observable variable is not a finite value of its observed shape.

Parameters

name : str Variable name. reason : str Bounded description of the violation.

  • init(name, reason)

Function declared_state(class_name)

Return the declared state of a catalogue class.

Parameters

class_name : str Registered catalogue class name.

Returns

tuple (source, schema_profile, variables): descriptor with the committed &#91;state&#93; table joined with the canonical profile roles, or undeclared with no variables when the descriptor is absent or its state has not been declared. The descriptor is the authority; the profile only assigns roles.

Text Only
A descriptor that asserts ``stateless`` answers ``descriptor`` with no
variables. Emptiness is then a declaration rather than a silence: the
run records everything the model declares, so its custody is complete,
where a model whose state nobody has declared stays ``undeclared`` and
incomplete. The assertion does not exempt the model from the mutation
audit — anything that moves is still reported as undeclared state.

Function equation_state(names, init)

Return the declared state of an equation-playground neuron.

Parameters

names : iterable of str State variable names in the neuron's evaluation order. init : mapping or None Initial values the request declared; a variable without one carries None.

Function scalar_value(value)

Return a declared state variable as a float, or None when it is not one.

A flag is state. LapicqueNeuron declares excited, which latches the first threshold attainment and which its canonical schema lowers as 0.0 or 1.0 in the RTL, and a run that refused to record it published incomplete custody for a register the model tracks exactly. A boolean is therefore read as the number the rest of the toolchain already carries it as.

This function exists only to read declared state: an attribute nobody declared is never offered to it, so admitting flags here says nothing about an undeclared one.

Function vector_value(value)

Return value as a float64 array when it is a numeric vector.

A model may hold a compartment vector, a population activity profile or a filter buffer as a NumPy array or as a plain list — the choice is the model's, and it is not a statement about whether the quantity is state. A numeric sequence is therefore read as the vector it is; a string, a dictionary, a ragged sequence or a sequence carrying a non-number is not a vector and is refused, so an unrecordable value is still reported with its reason rather than coerced into a shape.

Function observe_layout(instance, source, schema_profile, declared)

Observe the shape of every declared variable on a constructed instance.

Parameters

instance : object The model instance before its first step. source, schema_profile : str Provenance of the declaration (see :func:declared_state). declared : iterable of DeclaredState The declared variables. n_steps : int Steps the run will execute; decides whether a vector trace fits the raw element budget. element_budget : int Maximum raw elements the run may return per variable trace.

Returns

StateLayout Every declared variable with its observed kind and shape, or the reason it cannot be recorded.

Function read_variable(instance, variable)

Read one observable variable and enforce its observed kind, shape and finiteness.

Raises

StateObservationError When the value is no longer of the observed kind or shape, or is not finite.

Function snapshot(instance, layout)

Return the exact value of every observable variable of the layout.

Function public_snapshot(values)

Return a snapshot as JSON values (vectors as nested lists).

Function attribute_fingerprints(instance)

Fingerprint every instance attribute (public and private) for the mutation audit.

Function undeclared_mutations(before, after, layout)

Return attributes that changed between two fingerprints without being declared.

A declared variable may be a public view of a private one. The library's generator contract is exactly that: a model exposes rng_state as a read-only property over a private generator, and the descriptor declares the property. The generator object then moves under a name the layout never names, but its movement is the declared variable's movement, so it is accounted for rather than reported. A model that carries a generator without declaring rng_state is not accounted for, and is reported.


Module studio.svg_export

Function traces_to_svg(time, states, spikes, model_name, dt, width, height)

Generate publication-quality SVG from simulation traces.

Returns a complete SVG string with axes, grid, legend, spike markers, and colour-coded polylines. Traces are downsampled to <=2000 points.


Module studio.synthesis

Class EdaProcessLimits

Optional process resource limits for external Studio EDA commands.

Parameters

cpu_seconds: Maximum CPU seconds allowed for the child process on hosts that expose POSIX RLIMIT_CPU. None leaves CPU accounting to the existing wall-clock timeout. address_space_bytes: Maximum address space bytes allowed for the child process on hosts that expose POSIX RLIMIT_AS. None leaves memory unconstrained by this helper.

  • post_init()
  • Validate positive resource ceilings when they are configured.

Class SynthesisTerminalExecution

Public terminal report plus private implementation artifacts.

Function check_tools()

Detect which EDA tools are installed.

Function cell_cost(target, cell_type)

Return what one cell takes of the judged resources, or None if unknown.

Parameters

target : str Target identifier. cell_type : str The Yosys cell type.

Returns

dict[str, int] or None Resource amounts, empty for a cell that takes none, None for a cell whose cost the Studio does not know.

Function capacity_verdict(resources, capacity)

Say whether a synthesised design fits its target device.

Synthesis succeeding says the netlist exists, not that the device can hold it: a 20-neuron network synthesised to 6237 LUTs for a 5280-LUT UP5K and the pipeline reported it complete. Only resources the target's capacity lists are judged; a target without capacity data gets no verdict rather than a guessed one. Fitting by count is necessary, not sufficient: on iCE40 and ECP5 a LUT and a flip-flop share a logic cell (708 LUTs and 98 flip-flops took 752 UP5K cells), and placement and routing can still fail.

Parameters

resources : Mapping[str, Any] Counted resources of the design. capacity : Mapping[str, int] The device's capacity per resource. device : str or None, optional The device the capacity describes, named with the verdict. uncounted : Mapping[str, int] or None, optional Cells whose cost is unknown, by type. With any, the counts are a floor: they can prove a design does not fit, never that it does.

Returns

dict[str, Any] fits_device (True, False, or None when unknown cells leave it open), exceeds_capacity (per resource, what the design needs and the device has), capacity_device and uncounted_cells; an empty dict without capacity data.

Function capacity_device_name(target)

Name the device a target's capacity is judged against.

Parameters

target : str Target identifier.

Returns

str The device, or the target in capitals when none is named.

Function capacity_sentence(target, exceeds)

Say in words which resources a design needs beyond its device.

Parameters

target : str Target identifier; its judged device is named. exceeds : Mapping[str, Mapping[str, int]] From :func:capacity_verdict.

Returns

str One sentence.

Function supported_targets()

Return synthesis targets accepted by the Studio EDA routes.

Function run_synthesis(verilog_source, target)

Run Yosys synthesis and return resource usage.

Parameters

verilog_source: SystemVerilog or Verilog source text to synthesise. target: Studio synthesis target identifier. process_limits: Optional host-supported CPU and address-space ceilings for the Yosys child process. tool_status: Optional path-free EDA tool status snapshot. When omitted, the backend captures a fresh snapshot for this result.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Path-free synthesis result with success state, target, resource counts, capacity metadata, utilisation, or a bounded error message.

Function run_synthesis_terminal(verilog_source, target)

Run digest-bound synthesis and PnR for one parity-verified model RTL source.

Function estimate_resources(ir_op_count, target)

Quick resource estimate from IR operation count, no Yosys needed.

Heuristic: each IR op maps to ~2 LUTs + 1 FF on average. LIF step op maps to ~12 LUTs + 8 FFs + 1 DSP (multiplier).

Function multi_target_synthesis(verilog_source)

Run synthesis on all supported targets and return a comparison.

Parameters

verilog_source: SystemVerilog or Verilog source text to synthesise. process_limits: Optional host-supported CPU and address-space ceilings applied to every Yosys child process.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Mapping with per-target synthesis results and the supported target list.

Function run_pnr(json_path, target)

Run nextpnr place-and-route and return timing report.

Parameters

json_path: Path to a Yosys JSON netlist. The path must point to a regular JSON file and must not be a symlink. target: Studio target identifier with nextpnr support. process_limits: Optional host-supported CPU and address-space ceilings for the nextpnr child process.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Path-free PnR result with success state, timing metadata, log excerpt, or a bounded error message.


Module studio.synthesis_provenance

Function list_templates()

Return all curated Studio equation templates.

Function get_template(name)

Return one curated Studio equation template by name.


Module studio.trace_projection

Class DisplayProjection

The sample-index set of the viewport projection.

Parameters

sample_index : numpy.ndarray Sorted raw step indices the projection shows. method : {"identity", "bucket-extrema"} identity when the run fits the point budget, otherwise per-bucket extrema of every series on a shared index set. bucket_count : int Number of buckets used (0 for identity). max_points : int The upper bound the projection was built against.

  • point_count()
  • Number of display points.

Function display_sample_indices(n_steps, series)

Choose the raw step indices a bounded viewport shows.

Parameters

n_steps : int Number of raw steps. series : sequence of numpy.ndarray Every scalar trace whose extrema must survive (states and drive), each of length n_steps and finite. max_points : int Hard upper bound on the number of display points.

Returns

DisplayProjection Identity when n_steps <= max_points; otherwise the sorted union of the first sample, the last sample and each bucket's argmin/argmax of every series. With k series and b buckets the union holds at most 2 + 2*k*b <= max_points points, so the bound is exact.

Raises

ValueError When n_steps is not positive, max_points < 2 or a series has the wrong length, contains non-finite values, or the point budget cannot guarantee the endpoints and every series' extrema.

Function sample_times(n_steps, dt)

Return the post-step sample time of every raw step: (index + 1) * dt.

Function observation_block(dt)

Return the observation-clock contract of a run.

Function raw_block()

Return the full-resolution raw block of a run.

Parameters

dt, n_steps : float, int Step and number of executed steps. scalar_traces : mapping Per-step float64 arrays of length n_steps for every scalar state. vector_traces : mapping Per-step arrays of shape (n_steps, *shape) for vector states that fit the element budget. vector_omitted : sequence of str Vector states recorded in snapshots only. drive : numpy.ndarray The injected drive sample of every step. spikes : sequence of int Raw step indices at which the model reported a spike. element_budget : int Raw element budget the block was built against.

Returns

dict included is False only when the scalar traces alone exceed the budget; nothing is shortened silently, the reason is stated instead.

Function custody_payload()

Assemble the public result of a run: raw custody plus display projection.

The top-level time, states and current_trace fields are the display projection (kept for existing consumers and labelled as such in display); raw, initial_state and final_state carry the complete result.

Function full_state_traces(result)

Return the full-resolution scalar state traces of a run result.

Consumers that compute on a trace (attractor detection, state ranges, precision errors) must not use the display projection. When the result carries an included raw block its traces are returned; a legacy or raw-less result falls back to its states field.

Function full_state_trace(result, name)

Return one full-resolution scalar state trace (empty when absent).


Module studio.training

Function list_surrogates()

Return surrogate-gradient choices exposed by the Studio UI.

Returns

Return training cell types exposed by the Studio UI.

Returns

list[dict[str, Any]] Ordered cell names with an available flag reflecting the installed Torch training backend.

Function start_training(config, job_manager)

Start a Studio training job.

When job_manager is supplied, execution is delegated to the bounded Studio process sandbox. Without it, the historical in-process training thread is retained for direct callers.

Parameters

config : dict[str, Any] Training Monitor configuration. job_manager : StudioJobService or None, optional Bounded job manager used by the Studio HTTP route.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Path-free job identifier and initial running status.

Function start_training_attach(source_job_id, config, job_manager)

Start a training job seeded with restored, verified weights.

mode names which of two different runs this is. warm_start begins a new run from the restored weights with a fresh optimiser and generator at epoch zero. exact_resume continues the source run from its recorded position — optimiser state, generator states and epochs already completed — and is refused when that position belongs to a different configuration or architecture.

The source checkpoint and binary artifacts are verified before a bounded process job loads them at the epoch-zero boundary. Raw tensors remain inside the confined worker and never enter the API response.

Parameters

source_job_id : str Completed source training job that published model weights. config : dict[str, Any] Target training configuration. job_manager : StudioJobService Bounded manager owning artifact reads and process submission. expected_config_sha256 : str or None, optional Optional digest that the source configuration must match. mode : str, optional "warm_start" (default) or "exact_resume".

Returns

dict[str, Any] Job metadata including the mode, or a stable error code when a source precondition is unavailable.

Raises

ValueError If source checkpoint metadata or its expected digest is invalid.

Function request_live_training_weight_attach(target_job_id, source_job_id, job_manager)

Deliver verified weights to a running training job.

The command is confined to the worker control channel and applied at the next epoch boundary. Incompatible artifacts are rejected without stopping the target job.

Parameters

target_job_id : str Running target training job. source_job_id : str Completed source training job that published model weights. job_manager : StudioJobService Manager owning artifact reads and control-command delivery. expected_config_sha256 : str or None, optional Optional digest that the source configuration must match.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Attach-request metadata, or a stable error code for a failed precondition.

Raises

ValueError If source checkpoint metadata or its expected digest is invalid.

Function stop_training(job_id, job_manager)

Request cooperative stop for a Studio training job.

Parameters

job_id : str Training Monitor job identifier. job_manager : StudioJobService or None, optional Manager used to propagate cancellation into a process worker.

Returns

dict[str, Any] stopping metadata, or an error payload for an unknown job.

Function get_training_status(job_id, job_manager)

Return path-free status for one Studio training job.

Parameters

job_id : str Training Monitor job identifier. job_manager : StudioJobService or None, optional Manager used to reconcile process state and verified evidence.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Current training status, metrics, checkpoint metadata, and optional evidence summary; unknown jobs return an error payload.

Function stream_metrics(job_id, job_manager)

Yield Server-Sent Events for one Studio training job.

Parameters

job_id : str Training Monitor job identifier. job_manager : StudioJobService or None, optional Manager used to tail process-worker JSONL events.

Yields

str One SSE-formatted metric, heartbeat, terminal, or error event.

Function list_jobs(job_manager)

Return path-free summaries for known Studio training jobs.

Returns

list[dict[str, Any]] Creation-order job identifiers, statuses, and configurations from the durable manager when supplied. Historical ledger rows without a configuration snapshot report config: null rather than inventing what ran. Without a manager, the legacy local registry is returned.

Function export_training_checkpoint(job_id, job_manager)

Return a portable checkpoint for one Studio training job.

Parameters

job_id : str Training Monitor job identifier. job_manager : StudioJobService or None, optional Manager used to attach verified terminal worker evidence.

Returns

dict[str, Any] studio.training.checkpoint.v1 payload, or an error payload for an unknown job.

Function import_training_checkpoint(data)

Validate a portable checkpoint and return its training configuration.

Parameters

data : dict[str, Any] JSON object submitted to /api/training/checkpoint/import.

Returns

dict[str, Any] Validated source metadata, configuration, and optional weight-restore plan.

Raises

ValueError If the checkpoint schema or any protected digest is invalid.


Module studio.training_contract

Class TrainingConfigError

Raised when a training request names something the Studio cannot run.

Attributes

field : str The request key that was refused. reason : str What is wrong, in words a caller can act on. supported : tuple of str The accepted values, when the field has a closed set.

  • init(field, reason, supported)
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class ResolvedTrainingConfig

A training request that the runner is able to execute exactly.

Attributes

dataset : str One of :data:SUPPORTED_DATASETS. epochs, batch_size, timesteps : int Positive integers. learning_rate, max_grad_norm : float Positive finite floats. hidden_widths : tuple of int One width per hidden layer, in order, each honoured as given. surrogate : str One of :data:SUPPORTED_SURROGATES. learn_beta, learn_threshold : bool Whether the cell parameters are learned. seed : int Seed applied to every relevant generator, so a run is replayable. event_data : EventTrainingContract or None Manifest-bound temporal input for an event dataset; absent for static data. preregistration : TrainingPreregistration or None The acceptance criterion declared before the run; stored with the configuration at submission and judged on the finished run. model_kind : str One of :data:SUPPORTED_MODEL_KINDS. On qcfs_conversion, timesteps is the QCFS step budget and the converted network's timestep budget, and the surrogate and cell flags keep their unused defaults. target_profile : str or None A registered hardware profile the converted network is calibrated for; only on qcfs_conversion.

  • architecture(n_inputs, n_outputs)
  • Return the layer sizes this configuration builds, in order.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the resolved configuration as the checkpoint records it.

Function resolve_training_config(payload)

Resolve a training request, refusing anything the Studio cannot run.

Parameters

payload : mapping The request as received. Absent keys take their default; unknown keys are refused rather than ignored, because a silently dropped hiddens is a request nobody honoured.

Returns

ResolvedTrainingConfig Exactly what the runner will execute.

Raises

TrainingConfigError Any field names something unsupported, is the wrong type, or is out of range. The refusal happens before the dataset is loaded and before a model is built, so a rejected request costs nothing and leaves nothing.

Function list_target_profiles()

Return the hardware profiles a conversion run can be calibrated for.

Returns

list of dict Name, vendor, family, class and fixed-point format of every registered profile, ordered by name.


Module studio.training_preregistration

Class TrainingPreregistration

One criterion a finished run must meet on its validation split.

Attributes

metric : str val_accuracy (passes at or above the threshold), val_loss or conversion_accuracy_drop (each passes at or below it). threshold : float Finite bound; an accuracy or accuracy-drop bound lies in &#91;0, 1&#93;, a loss bound is non-negative. rationale : str The hypothesis the criterion tests, as declared before the run.

  • direction()
  • Return at_least or at_most for the declared metric.
  • sha256()
  • Return the digest of the criterion's canonical JSON form.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the stored criterion, including its digest.
  • judge(observed)
  • Judge an unrounded validation metric against the criterion.

Function resolve_training_preregistration(value)

Resolve an optional criterion, refusing anything that cannot be judged.

Parameters

value : object None for no criterion, or an object with metric, threshold, an optional rationale and, when resubmitting a stored criterion, its schema_version and sha256.

Returns

TrainingPreregistration or None The criterion exactly as it will be judged.

Raises

ValueError Unknown fields, an unknown metric, a bound outside the metric's range, an over-long rationale, another schema version, or a stored digest that does not match the criterion it accompanies.


Module studio.training_resume

Class TrainingResumeMismatch

Raised when saved run state does not belong to the run being started.

Attributes

field : str What differs — the configuration, the architecture or the schema. expected : str What the saved state describes. actual : str What the run being started describes.

  • init(field, expected, actual)
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Class TrainingResumeState

Everything a run needs to continue where another one stopped.

Attributes

schema_version : str Resume contract version. epochs_completed : int How many epochs finished before this state was taken. A resume starts at this index, so it neither repeats nor skips one. architecture : str Layer sizes of the network the state belongs to. config : mapping The resolved configuration of the run being continued. optimiser_state : mapping The optimiser's state_dict. Dropping it is what makes a warm start a different run: Adam's moment estimates are part of where the run is. rng_state : mapping Python, NumPy and Torch generator states at the epoch boundary, so the shuffle order and any stochastic layer continue rather than restart. dataset_fingerprint : str Digest of the data the run was trained on; a resume onto different data is a different experiment.

  • resolved_config()
  • Return the configuration this state belongs to, re-resolved.
  • to_public_dict()
  • Return the JSON-safe summary a status payload may carry.

Function capture_resume_state()

Take the state a later run needs in order to continue this one.

Parameters

epochs_completed : int Epochs finished at the moment of capture. architecture : str Layer sizes of the network being trained. config : mapping The resolved configuration of the run. optimiser : torch.optim.Optimizer The live optimiser; its state_dict is copied. dataset_fingerprint : str Digest of the data the run is training on.

Returns

TrainingResumeState Captured at an epoch boundary, which is the only point where the generator states describe a clean position in the run.

Function apply_resume_state(state)

Restore a saved position and return the epoch to start from.

Parameters

state : TrainingResumeState The saved position. optimiser : torch.optim.Optimizer The optimiser to load the saved state into. architecture : str Layer sizes of the network this run built. config : mapping The resolved configuration of this run.

Returns

int The epoch index to begin at.

Raises

TrainingResumeMismatch The saved state belongs to a different schema, network or configuration. Resuming across any of those would report a continuation of a run that never existed.

Function resume_state_from_payload(payload)

Rebuild a saved position from a weight checkpoint payload.

Parameters

payload : mapping A loaded weight checkpoint's resume_state block.

Returns

TrainingResumeState The position the run was in when the checkpoint was written.

Raises

TrainingResumeMismatch The block is absent or was written by a different resume schema. A checkpoint from a build that recorded no position supports a warm start and nothing more, and saying so is the point.

Function dataset_fingerprint(loader)

Return a digest of the data a loader will serve.

Parameters

loader : torch.utils.data.DataLoader The training loader.

Returns

str sha256 over the dataset's length, the batch size, the shape and dtype of one sample, and the bytes of the first and last samples.

Notes

This is a fingerprint, not a content hash: it detects a different dataset, a different split boundary or a different sample layout, and it does not detect a change confined to the middle of a large corpus. Hashing every sample of a full dataset on every run would cost more than the training step it protects, so the boundary is stated rather than implied.


Module studio.workspace_lifecycle

Function fork_workspace(store, name, new_name)

Copy one revision into a new workspace as its first revision.

Raises

KeyError The source workspace or revision does not exist. WorkspaceConflict The destination workspace already exists; forking never overwrites one.

Function branch_conflicting_edit(store, name, state)

Keep an edit that lost a save conflict, instead of asking for it again.

A save from a stale revision is refused so it cannot overwrite the other editor's work, which is correct — but the refused edit then exists only in the editor's browser, and the message asks them to reapply it. This stores it as the first revision of its own workspace, so both edits survive and either can be compared, exported or merged by hand afterwards.

The branch records the workspace and revision it diverged from in its name, which is what a reader needs to reconcile the two later.

Parameters

store : WorkspaceStore Store holding the workspace whose save was refused. name : str Workspace the edit was made against. state : Mapping[str, Any] The refused state, exactly as the editor had it. base_revision : int The revision the editor was working from. branch_name : str, optional Name for the branch. Defaults to "<name> (from revision <n>)".

Returns

WorkspaceRevision The first revision of the branch.

Raises

KeyError The source workspace or base_revision does not exist, so the edit does not describe a divergence from anything. WorkspaceConflict A workspace of that name already exists; branching never overwrites one.

Function delete_workspace(store, name)

Move a workspace aside so it can be restored.

Retained legacy files stay byte-identical. A durable marker beside the lock prevents their automatic re-adoption after deletion, including after restart. Trash tokens include a random suffix so equal clock readings cannot combine two independent revision directories.

Returns

pathlib.Path Where the workspace now lives.

Raises

KeyError The workspace does not exist.

Function deleted_workspaces(store)

Return the workspaces waiting in the trash, newest first.

Function restore_workspace(store, token)

Bring one deleted workspace back under its original name.

Raises

KeyError No deleted workspace carries that token. WorkspaceConflict A live workspace already holds the name; restoring would overwrite it, which is the loss this store exists to prevent.

Function export_workspace(store, name)

Return one revision as a self-contained document.

Function import_workspace(store, name, document)

Create a workspace from an exported document.

Raises

WorkspaceSchemaError The document is not a workspace this build reads. WorkspaceConflict The destination already exists.


Module studio.workspace_lock

Class WorkspaceLockTimeout

Raised when another writer held a workspace for longer than the wait.

Attributes

name : str The workspace that was busy. timeout : float The wait that elapsed, in seconds.

  • init()
  • to_public_detail()
  • Return the path-free public error detail.

Function lock_path(root, name)

Return the lock database of one workspace under a project root.

Parameters

root : pathlib.Path The project root holding the workspaces. name : str Workspace name, one path segment.

Raises

ValueError The name is not a single path segment. The callers validate names already; this refuses rather than trusting them, because the result is a filesystem path.

Function workspace_lock(root, name)

Hold one workspace against every other writer for the block's duration.

Parameters

root : pathlib.Path The project root holding the workspaces. name : str Workspace name. timeout : float, optional How long to wait for another writer before refusing.

Yields

None The block runs with the workspace held.

Raises

WorkspaceLockTimeout Another thread or process held the workspace for the whole wait. Nothing was written. ValueError The name is not a single path segment.


Module studio.workspace_review

Class ReviewComment

One comment on one revision.

Function add_comment(store, name, revision)

Append a comment on name at revision.

Raises

KeyError The workspace or the revision does not exist. ValueError The body is empty or longer than :data:MAX_COMMENT_CHARS, or reply_to is not a comment on the same revision.

Function list_comments(store, name)

Return a workspace's comments, each checked against its revision.

Raises

KeyError The workspace does not exist.


Module studio.workspace_schema

Class WorkspaceSchemaError

Raised when a stored workspace cannot be read as one.

Function migrate_document(document)

Bring one stored workspace document forward to this schema.

Parameters

document : mapping The parsed contents of a revision file, or a legacy single-file project payload.

Returns

dict The document at the current schema version.

Raises

WorkspaceSchemaError The document is not an object, is missing its state, or was written by a newer schema. A newer document is refused rather than downgraded: dropping fields a future build added would lose a user's work quietly.

Function dump_canonical(document)

Serialise a workspace document deterministically.

Function write_atomic(path, payload)

Write one file so a reader never sees a partial one.

The payload goes to a temporary file beside the target, is flushed and fsynced, and is then moved into place with os.replace. The directory is fsynced too, so the rename itself survives a power loss. A failure anywhere before the replace leaves the existing file untouched and removes the temporary one.

Parameters

path : pathlib.Path Target file. Its parent directory must exist. payload : str Complete file contents.

Function read_document(path)

Read and migrate one stored workspace document.

Raises

WorkspaceSchemaError The file is unreadable, is not JSON, or is not a workspace this build understands. The message never contains the path.


Module studio.workspace_store

Class WorkspaceRevision

One immutable saved revision of a workspace.

Attributes

  • to_public_dict()
  • Return a path-free JSON representation of this revision.

Class WorkspaceStore

A directory of workspaces, each an append-only list of revisions.

Parameters

root : pathlib.Path Directory holding one subdirectory per workspace. clock : callable, optional Returns the current Unix timestamp; defaults to :func:time.time. lock_timeout : float, optional How long an operation waits for another writer of the same workspace before being refused with :class:~sc_neurocore.studio.workspace_lock.WorkspaceLockTimeout.

Parameters

n_input : int Input feature count. n_hidden : int or sequence of int One width for every hidden layer, or a single width repeated n_layers times.

ValueError n_hidden names a non-positive width, or is a sequence whose length contradicts an explicit n_layers. An empty sequence is accepted: it builds the direct input-to-output layer.
