1// nx_ribosome.nx -- target-ISA decision metadata.
2//
3// Biological analogue: a ribosome translates messenger RNA into the
4// specific protein its codons encode. Nishi ribosome is the
5// NishiLang-side decision primitive that names WHICH of the existing
6// nxc2 codegen backends should emit a call site's binary. The actual
7// codegen lives in C (aarch64.c, armv7a.c, cortex_m.c, gcn.c,
8// loongarch64.c, metal.c, mips64.c, ppc64le.c, ptx.c, riscv.c,
9// riscv32.c, s390x.c, wasm.c, x86_64.c). This primitive's job is to
10// say "this site -> emit AARCH64 NEON" or "this site -> ESP32 Xtensa"
11// based on observed heat from nx_metabolism + the cell's tropism.
12//
13// THIS IS WHAT MAKES DOOM-ON-PREGNANCY-TEST PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE:
14// the same .nx source compiles down to CORTEX_M Thumb on $5 silicon
15// (T1) and to PTX on a 5090 (T5). One IR, fourteen targets, decided
16// per call site by ribosome.
17//
18// Composes:
19// nx_tier -- NX_TIER_MCU..NX_TIER_HPC informs target choice
20// nx_metabolism -- hot sites get SIMD/GPU/SILICON targets
21// nx_pathway -- cell-spec declares preferred ribosome target
22// nx_tropism -- LOCAL_GPU tropism selects GPU-family targets
23//
24// V1 ships a sealed enum + a picker. The handoff to nxc2 is via the
25// target tag on each call site; the nxc2 main loop already reads
26// per-site target hints (see nxc2/main.c). What was missing in
27// NishiLang was the decision primitive; here it is.
28//
29// Gap list (V1 honest perf verdict):
30// - SILICON_HDL emit target is a stub (HDL backend queued)
31// - no online learning -- picker is fully deterministic
32// - no per-cell override (uses pathway-level declaration)
33// - no cross-target ABI shim (caller must keep i64/i32 alignment
34// constant; nx_tier's nx_int alias is the single tuning knob)
35//
36// genealogy_id: nishi_cardinal_2026-05-17_pathway_tropism + biology_protein_synthesis
37// lineage_id: substrate_ribosome_v1
38//
39// nx_safety_envelope:
40// intended_use: "Per-call-site target ISA decision metadata
41// consumed by the nxc2 codegen backends"
42// sil_target: SIL2
43// asil_target: QM
44// evidence: [enum_sealed, deterministic_picker,
45// 14_backends_match_existing_nxc2_set]
46// verdict: NOT_YET_EVALUATED
