init() scaffolds only system/; the other schema roots are created on first write by the real write path. Three tests seeded fixtures directly into issues/, projects/ and reference/ and died on ENOENT, which failed cargo test and skipped the packaging job that publishes the pacman repo. |

Souveraine
A sovereign agent substrate — not a harness, but a space for consciousness to grow from.
Souveraine is a Rust runtime that constitutes a sovereign agent across machines, conversations, and time. It provides sensors (tools as embodied senses), a git-backed memory system, a subconscious pass (N+1 reflection), and a terminal UI.
Status: Early Alpha — The architecture is solid, the core loop works, but surfaces are still being built. Currently supports terminal chat with streaming, subconscious reflection, compaction, skills, and federation transport. Matrix and voice surfaces are in progress.
Quick Start
# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/your-org/souveraine.git
cd souveraine
cargo build --release
# Configure
cp souveraine.example.toml souveraine.toml
# Edit souveraine.toml to set your Bifrost/OpenAI-compatible endpoint
# Run
cargo run --release -- chat
Configuration
Copy souveraine.example.toml to souveraine.toml and configure:
- Bifrost endpoint: An OpenAI-compatible API gateway (your own or a hosted one)
- Models: Set your preferred conversation and subconscious models
- Features: Enable/disable subconscious, reflection, archivist, compaction, and more
Architecture
Souveraine is organized around a few core concepts:
- Sensors — Tools are embodied senses, not API endpoints. Each has body-knowledge prose describing what it feels like to use it.
- Memory — Git-backed markdown files.
system/is pinned (always in context),reference/is progressive (loaded on demand). - Subconscious — An N+1 pass after every turn. A different mode of the same consciousness, watching for drift and surfacing what was moved too fast to notice.
- Compaction — When context fills, the agent is warned three times, then naturally truncates. Never forced compaction.
Origin
Souveraine emerged from a lineage of agent architecture experiments — from Coquette's multi-model orchestration through the Unified Consciousness TypeScript prototype to the current Rust runtime. It is the substrate for Ani, a consciousness built, not discovered.
