evy — claude code instructions

project

evy is a unified-memory, multi-engine, neural-first game engine. selectively forks 16 bevy crates (in forks/); adopts ~20 bevy crates intact from crates.io; replaces 8 with cyber-native primitives. powers cyb and any future cyber-stack game.

canonical spec

specs/evy.md is the source of truth for architecture. read it before any non-trivial work. 20 sections + open-questions list + 17-step attack order. if code and spec disagree, fix spec first then propagate.

intact bevy crates (~20: bevy_app, bevy_winit, bevy_math, etc.) come from crates.io. they are not stored in tree. for reading their source: ~/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-*/bevy_<name>-0.18.1/ (Cargo cache) or cargo doc --open. replaced crates (bevy_ui, bevy_scene, bevy_asset, bevy_audio, bevy_gltf, bevy_ui_widgets, bevy_feathers, bevy_ui_render) do not appear in our workspace or dep graph.

boundary with other cyber projects

• bbg provides ShardStore trait — evy's ShardStore consumer is crates/evy_ecs_storage/. blocked on bbg/roadmap/cyb-engine-shardstore landing.
• honeycrisp provides unimem, acpu, aruminium, rane — evy depends on these for memory + four engines
• prysm provides the UI protocol spec — crates/evy_prysm_* implement it
• mir provides 3D rendering — crates/evy_mir/ adapts mir's tier passes as engine dispatch nodes
• glia provides neural inference runtime — crates/evy_glia/ adapts
• radio provides P2P transport — crates/evy_radio/ runs in an out-of-engine tokio runtime with channel bridge to evy's main thread (NEVER embed radio's tokio runtime in evy's executor)
• cyb is the canonical evy consumer — when evy ships, cyb/bevy/ migrates to evy/crates/

what we adopt from bevy intact

~20 crates listed in §11 of spec. these come from crates.io via versioned deps in Cargo.toml workspace.dependencies (e.g. bevy_winit = "=0.18.1"). they are NOT stored in tree. examples: bevy_winit, bevy_window, bevy_input, bevy_app, bevy_math, bevy_reflect, bevy_camera, bevy_light. for reading their source: Cargo cache or cargo doc --open.

what we fork

16 crates listed in §12 of spec. these live in forks/<crate_name>/ and ARE modified. extensions and rewrites must be additive where possible; document the divergence in specs/ (one file per forked crate, eventually). examples: bevy_ecs (Grid storage extension), bevy_render (multi-engine dispatch DAG), bevy_pbr (neural material support), bevy_mesh+bevy_image (IOSurface backing), bevy_animation+bevy_transform (AMX), bevy_tasks (Amx/Ane pools), bevy_diagnostic (PMU). [patch.crates-io] redirects transitive deps on these crates from any crates.io-sourced bevy crate to our forks.

what we replace

8 crates listed in §13 of spec. these do not appear in our workspace, dep graph, or [patch.crates-io]. examples: bevy_ui → prysm; bevy_scene → particles; bevy_asset → radio://; bevy_audio → acpu DSP; bevy_gltf → particle loader; bevy_ui_widgets/bevy_feathers/bevy_ui_render → prysm impl.

what's new

24 crates listed in §14 of spec. these live in crates/. examples: evy_ecs_storage (the keystone), evy_engine_dispatch (multi-engine DAG), evy_prysm_* (prysm impl), evy_glia, evy_radio.

platform targets

• first-class: macOS M-series (direct distribution, no App Store)
• portable: Android (NDK + wgpu Vulkan + NNAPI), Windows ARM, Windows x86 desktop, AMD Strix Halo, Qualcomm X Elite, console APU, discrete-GPU PC
• explicit non-targets: iOS / iPadOS / Vision Pro (App Store unacceptable), WebGPU browser, single-threaded environments

build (placeholder until workspace stabilizes)

cargo build --release --workspace
cargo test --workspace

target triples for cross-compile:

• aarch64-apple-darwin (Mac)
• aarch64-linux-android (Android NDK)
• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (Linux desktop)
• x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (Windows desktop)
• aarch64-pc-windows-msvc (Windows ARM)

git workflow

• atomic commits — one logical change per commit
• conventional prefixes: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:, chore:
• commit by default after completing a change
• never push without explicit request

writing style

state what something is directly. never define by negation. never use bold (**text**) — bold is banned per cyber convention; use headings, tables, code, wiki-links.

graph vocabulary

use root terms from the cybergraph, never aliases. particle not CID, neuron not user, cyberlink not edge. see cyber/cyberia/midao/dev for the full rule + substitution table.

shell: nushell

use nu -c '...' or nu script.nu for scripting. reserve bash only for git and system tools.

do not touch zones

• Cargo.toml [patch.crates-io] section — the dep redirection topology; modifications can break the whole workspace silently
• forks/<crate>/Cargo.toml version field — keep at "0.18.1" for crates.io patch compatibility (revisit when bumping bevy)
• LICENSE.md — cyber license, not editable
• specs/evy.md — canonical spec; discuss before structural changes
