nx_assets_lib.nx

nx_assets_lib.nx -- THE ONE READER of <dom>.assets (2026-09-16): every FOREIGN ASSET a board's run path or candidate arms depend on, as data, with its licence, its bytes, where it is used, the rung that replaces it with ours, and the three-point lift to get there. WHY. Operator 2026-09-16, after choosing "open weights now, ours over time": "yes if we need 3rd party today then id like to know via the /compare capabilities what the lift would be to replace a 3rd party we are using thats open source etc with our own in cost" -- "the goal always being a reduction in 3rd parties from the first byte up but a focus on capability". The sovereignty ledger (nx_selfsuff) measures outside HOSTS and CARRIERS from what the code dials; it has no row for a DATA asset the code reads -- a model's weights, a font, a benchmark corpus, a vendor driver behind a door -- and those are exactly the foreign bytes the standing order admits ("DATA assets are the only foreign bytes allowed inside, and each carries its license beside it"). This lib gives them a row, a state, and a price. ROW (14 fields, no pipes in prose): asset|<key>|<state>|<kind>|<name>|<licence>|<bytes>|<used_by>|<rung>|<p10>|<p50>|<p90>|<basis>|<note> state: runpath (read by an organ on the serving or scoring lane today) | candidate (a licensed asset the board intends to run on the sovereign engines, not yet in the run path) | oracle (a benchmark or reference outside the build and run path, never a dependency) | unavailable (named by the field but not obtainable: a licence tag over an empty repository is the honest example) kind: weights | font | dataset | door | spec | card bytes: the measured size, or - when not measured (counted as UNKNOWN, never as zero) rung: the plan rung that replaces the asset with ours; <dom>:<rung> for a rung on another board (XBOARD, not verifiable here); - is a DEFECT on a runpath or candidate row (NORUNG: a foreign asset with no path to replacing it is what this ledger exists to expose) and correct on an oracle row p10 p50 p90: the lift in u (the board's own unit, one fractional digit) to land the replacement rung; - on an oracle or unavailable row; on a runpath or candidate row a missing lift is LIFT-MISSING basis: the components the estimate was built from (named, so a reader can dispute one) One verdict per row, the first failing rule wins: OK FIELDS BADSTATE BADKIND BADLIFT LIFT-MISSING NORUNG BADRUNG. Totals partition by state and by verdict and both partitions SUM to rows; the run-path lift is aggregated through nx_costest_lib ces_agg3 (root-sum-square band beside the correlated sum). license_tier: ORIGINAL No hw writes (Rule 26).
