vela-constellation 0.230.0

Vela Constellation layer: a network of connected Atlases across scientific domains. The sixteenth Carina primitive (v0.5). Composes one or more Atlases (vat_*) into a higher-level cross-domain map; cross-Atlas bridges live as the Atlas's own bridges where bridge endpoints land in different composing Atlases. Atlas stays the unit of reviewer-confirmed bridges; Constellation is read-only over per-Atlas snapshots.

Vela Constellation layer: a network of connected Atlases across scientific domains.

The Constellation primitive is Carina v0.5 (the sixteenth Carina type). Atlas (vat_*) stays the unit of reviewer-confirmed bridges; Constellation (vco_*) is a read-only composition over per-Atlas snapshots.

Substrate stack

Frontier (vfr_*)        bounded reviewable state, unit of replay
    │
Atlas (vat_*)           living domain map, unit of bridges
    │
Constellation (vco_*)   cross-domain map, read-only over Atlases

What this crate ships at v0.81

  • ConstellationManifest: typed constellations/<name>/manifest.yaml.
  • ConstellationSnapshot: the materialized cross-Atlas view.
  • init_constellation(): scaffolds a new Constellation pointing at one or more Atlases by vat_* id.
  • materialize_constellation(): reads each composing Atlas's snapshot.json (re-materializing on demand for freshness), sums findings + events + bridges across, and writes snapshot.json + index.html for the Constellation.
