M5c-1 plan: task 01, the speaker, SessionUpdated's turn, the session-state messages

Task 01 changes bxcore's wire and log types for M5c-1: Turn.speaker and
LogRecord::User.speaker (optional, skipped when None, so old frames and logs
keep their bytes), SessionUpdated.turn (required, refused when missing), and
the new SessionState / SessionStateReply messages. The other crates only
construct the new fields (speaker: None, turn: 0) and brokerd's kind() names
the two new kinds; later tasks give them values. 20 given files.

Checks, against a reference at 7b40686 with its own build directory:
- every "before" block found exactly once at 7b40686 (and at master, which
  changed no crate since);
- step 2's failures as the task names them: two strict tests, fifteen test
  targets with E0559/E0560/E0432/E0599 only;
- make gate: gate: ok, 1130 tests (1122 + 8); /tmp unchanged around it;
- replay from the task text in a fresh worktree of 7b40686 with its own
  target/: crates/ byte-identical to the reference, gate ok, 1130; removed;
- 23 mutations: 21 caught; the two that drop `default` from an Option
  field cannot change behaviour (serde reads a missing Option as None);
- no chat-template tag whole in the task or the given files; lines over
  100 characters only in tables, fixtures and verbatim strings.

+# M5c-1 task 01: a turn's speaker, `SessionUpdated`'s turn, and the session-state messages
+
+**Branch:** `m5c1` (run `git switch m5c1`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
+**Commit subject:** `bxcore: a turn's speaker, SessionUpdated's turn, the session-state messages`
+**Log row:** the Task cell is `M5c1/01-wire-speaker-state`.
+
+## Goal
+
+M5c sends finished turns to Honcho, a memory server shared by a fleet of agents. Before any of
+that can be built, the messages between the roles must carry three new things (M5c spec,
+sections 5, 7 and 11). This task changes the types in `bxcore` only; the behaviour comes in later
+tasks.
+
+1. **Who spoke a turn.** `Turn` gains `speaker: Option<String>`, and the session log's `User`
+   record gains the same field. Both are written only when they are `Some`, and a frame or a log
+   line without the field reads as `None`. `None` is the safe side: a turn without a speaker is
+   never sent to Honcho. So `turn.json` and every log written before M5c keep their bytes.
+2. **Which turn ended.** `SessionUpdated`, which `loopd` sends to `memoryd` after each turn, gains
+   `turn: u64`. It is **required**: a frame without it is refused, never read as turn 0.
+3. **The session's state.** `memoryd` will ask `brokerd` for a session's state on a new socket.
+   Two new messages: `SessionState { session }` and the answer `SessionStateReply { class,
+   untrusted }`. Both fields of the answer are required.
+
+```json
+{"kind":"turn","body":{"session":"…","content":"…","resume":true,"speaker":"kyle"}}
+{"type":"user","time":"…","content":"…","speaker":"kyle"}
+{"kind":"session_updated","body":{"session":"…","turn":3}}
+{"kind":"session_state","body":{"session":"…"}}
+{"kind":"session_state_reply","body":{"class":"private","untrusted":true}}
+```
+
+The other crates build these types, so they must change to keep compiling, but only as far as
+that. Where they build a `Turn` or a `User` record they write `speaker: None`; `loopd` sends
+`turn: 0`; `brokerd` gives the two new kinds their names. Later tasks put real values there:
+task 02 (`loopd`: the speaker in the log, the turn's number), task 03 (`gatewayd`), task 04
+(`bxctl chat --speaker`), task 05 (`brokerd` answers `SessionState`), task 09 (`memoryd` reads
+`turn`). Until then nothing reads the new fields, so nothing behaves differently.
+
+## Every place the changed types appear
+
+This is the complete list. Each one is covered by an edit below or by a given file.
+
+| Place | What happens there |
+|---|---|
+| `crates/bxcore/src/wire.rs`: `Turn`, `Message`, the `use` of `crate::memory` | gains `speaker`; two new variants (edits W1 to W3) |
+| `crates/bxcore/src/log.rs`: `LogRecord::User` | gains `speaker` (edit L1) |
+| `crates/bxcore/src/memory.rs`: `SessionUpdated` | gains `turn`; the two new structs after it (edit M1) |
+| `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs` | exports the two new structs (edit X1) |
+| `crates/brokerd/src/broker.rs`, `kind` | two new arms, and its comment's count (edits B1, B2) |
+| `crates/gatewayd/src/deliver.rs`, `one_turn` | `speaker: None` (edit G1) |
+| `crates/bxctl/src/chat.rs`, `run_turn` | `speaker: None` (edit C1) |
+| `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `run_turn` | `speaker: None` on the `User` record (edit T1) |
+| `crates/loopd/src/memory.rs`, `MemoryPort::updated` | `turn: 0` (edit U1) |
+| `crates/memoryd/src/index.rs`, the `User` arm | the pattern gains `..`: the speaker is not indexed (edit I1) |
+| `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs`, `crates/loopd/tests/support/turn.rs`, `crates/loopd/tests/neutralise.rs` | patterns with `..`; no change |
+| `crates/loopd/src/channel.rs`, `crates/memoryd/src/serve.rs`, `crates/gatewayd/tests/support/*`, `crates/bxctl/tests/support/mod.rs` | take a `Turn` or a `SessionUpdated` apart by name or pass it on; no change |
+| tests that build a `Turn`, a `User` record or a `SessionUpdated`, in `bxcore`, `brokerd`, `bxctl`, `loopd`, `memoryd` | new versions are given |

+  - Do not copy anything under `docs/plans/M5c1/files/crates/memoryd/tests/fixtures/honcho/`:
+    it is for later tasks.
+- Modify: `crates/bxcore/src/wire.rs`, `crates/bxcore/src/log.rs`, `crates/bxcore/src/memory.rs`,
+  `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs`, `crates/brokerd/src/broker.rs`, `crates/gatewayd/src/deliver.rs`,
+  `crates/bxctl/src/chat.rs`, `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `crates/loopd/src/memory.rs`,
+  `crates/memoryd/src/index.rs`, `docs/implementer-log.md`.
+- Do not touch: any other source file, any `Cargo.toml`, any file under `crates/gatewayd/tests`.
+
+## Facts you need
+
+- **The optional fields.** `#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]` on an
+  `Option` field does what it says: a missing field reads as `None`, and `None` is not written.
+  An unknown key is still refused under `deny_unknown_fields`. It works the same on a field of a
+  struct (`Turn`) and on a field of a variant of an internally tagged enum (`LogRecord::User`);
+  `ToolResponse::Denied`'s `detail` already uses it. (`serde` reads a missing `Option` field as
+  `None` even without `default`; the attribute says so in so many words, as `detail`'s does.)
+- **Why `speaker` is optional.** A missing speaker means "not synced", which is the safe way to
+  be wrong. And `loopd` replays each session's log byte for byte to the inference server: a log
+  written before M5c must read as it is, and a record without a speaker must be written with the
+  bytes it had before. The given `neutralise_replay.rs` and `session.rs` check those bytes.
+- **Why `turn` is required.** A `u64` field without `#[serde(default)]` is required: decoding a
+  `session_updated` without it fails with ``missing field `turn` ``. A default would read a
+  missing turn as turn 0, and `memoryd` would later record the wrong turn. `loopd` and `memoryd`
+  are built from this one workspace and deployed together, and `SessionUpdated` refuses unknown
+  fields, so an older reader refuses the new frame anyway. So: no `#[serde(default)]`, no
+  `skip_serializing_if`. The same holds for `SessionStateReply`'s `class` and `untrusted`: a
+  default would read a missing field as a clean session. `PROTOCOL_VERSION` does not change.
+- **The kinds.** `Message` is `#[serde(tag = "kind", content = "body", rename_all =
+  "snake_case")]`, so the variants `SessionState` and `SessionStateReply` are written as
+  `"kind":"session_state"` and `"kind":"session_state_reply"` with no attribute of their own.
+- **No checks on the name.** `bxcore` does not check a speaker's name. `memoryd` checks it
+  against Honcho's pattern in a later task (M5c spec, section 3). A given test sends
+  `first.last` and expects it back as it is.
+- **Two types named `SessionState`.** `brokerd` has its own `brokerd::policy::SessionState`
+  (`taint`, `untrusted`). The new `bxcore::SessionState` is a message. They do not meet in this
+  task: `broker.rs` names the new one only as the pattern `Message::SessionState(_)`, which needs
+  no import. Do not add `SessionState` to any `use` line in `brokerd`.
+- **Placeholders.** `turn: 0` in `loopd` is harmless until task 02: `memoryd` answers
+  `SessionUpdated` by reading the session's log, and nothing reads `turn` before task 09.
+- The calls and attributes the edits use:
+
+  | Item | What it does |
+  |---|---|
+  | `#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]` | on `speaker` (W3, L1): missing reads as `None`; `None` is not written |
+  | `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` | on each new struct (M1): an unknown key is refused, as on every message |
+  | `LogRecord::User { time, content, .. }` | a pattern that ignores the fields it does not name (I1) |
+
+## The edits, exactly
+
+Nothing else in these files changes. Each quoted "before" block occurs exactly once in its file.
+Keep the fields and variants in the order shown: it is the wire format.

+## Steps
+
+- [ ] **1. Copy the given files.** From the repository root, twenty commands:
+
+  ```sh

+  ```
+
+  Then `git status --short` lists 16 modified files and 4 new ones, all under `crates/*/tests/`.
+- [ ] **2. See them fail.** Two commands:
+  - `cargo test -p bxcore --test strict`: two tests fail:
+    `envelopes_reject_unknown_keys_at_every_depth`, with `turn_speaker.json: fixture must decode`,
+    and `speaker_log_records_reject_unknown_keys_at_every_depth`, with
+    `session_speaker.jsonl:2: fixture must decode`.
+  - `cargo build --tests --keep-going -p bxcore -p brokerd -p bxctl -p loopd -p memoryd`: fifteen
+    test targets do not compile: `memory_wire`, `records` and `turn_wire` in `bxcore`; `broker`
+    in `brokerd`; `chat` in `bxctl`; `baseline`, `channel`, `instance`, `memory`,
+    `neutralise_replay`, `session` and `turn_done_untrusted` in `loopd`; `index`, `recall` and
+    `serve` in `memoryd`. Every error is about a name this task adds: `E0559` (``variant
+    `LogRecord::User` has no field named `speaker` ``), `E0560` (``struct `bxcore::Turn` has no
+    field named `speaker` `` or ``struct `bxcore::SessionUpdated` has no field named `turn` ``),
+    `E0432` (unresolved imports `bxcore::SessionState`, `bxcore::SessionStateReply`) or `E0599`
+    (no variant `SessionState` or `SessionStateReply` for enum `Message`).
+- [ ] **3. `bxcore`.** Make edits W1, W2, W3, L1, M1 and X1. `cargo test -p bxcore`: every suite
+  passes, among them `turn_wire` (9 tests), `memory_wire` (5), `records` (4) and `strict` (6).
+- [ ] **4. The other crates.** `cargo build --workspace --keep-going` now fails in exactly six
+  places: `kind` in `brokerd` (`E0004`, non-exhaustive patterns); `one_turn` in `gatewayd`,
+  `run_turn` in `bxctl` and `run_turn` in `loopd` (`E0063`, missing field `speaker`);
+  `MemoryPort::updated` in `loopd` (`E0063`, missing field `turn`); and the `User` arm in
+  `memoryd`'s `index.rs` (`E0027`, pattern does not mention field `speaker`). Make edits B1, B2,
+  G1, C1, T1, U1 and I1. Then `cargo test -p brokerd -p gatewayd -p bxctl -p loopd -p memoryd`:
+  every suite passes.
+- [ ] **5. Check.** Three commands:
+  - `grep -c 'serde(default' crates/bxcore/src/wire.rs` prints `2`: `detail` of
+    `ToolResponse::Denied` and `speaker` of `Turn`. Nothing on `turn`, `class` or `untrusted`.
+  - `git diff --stat -- crates/gatewayd/tests crates/inferproxy crates/toolkit` prints nothing.
+  - `git diff --stat -- crates/*/src` lists exactly the ten source files of "Modify".
+- [ ] **6. Run the gate.** `cargo fmt --all`, then `make gate`, with a shell timeout of 600000 ms.
+  Expected last line: `gate: ok`, with 1130 tests: 1122 before this task, plus 8 new ones (two
+  in `bxcore/tests/turn_wire.rs`, three in `memory_wire.rs`, one in `records.rs`, one in
+  `strict.rs`, one in `brokerd/tests/broker.rs`; the other new versions keep their counts).
+- [ ] **7. Log and commit.** Add your row to `docs/implementer-log.md`; its Task cell is
+  `M5c1/01-wire-speaker-state`. `git status --short` lists the ten sources, the sixteen replaced
+  test files and your log as modified, and the four new fixtures. Stage with
+  `git add crates/bxcore crates/brokerd crates/gatewayd crates/bxctl crates/loopd crates/memoryd docs/implementer-log.md Cargo.lock`,
+  then commit as `AGENTS.md` says. `Cargo.lock` does not change in this task; the `git add` is
+  harmless.
+
+## Done when
+
+- `make gate` prints `gate: ok` with 1130 tests.
+- `git diff HEAD~1 --stat` lists only the ten source files of "Modify", the twenty copied files
+  and `docs/implementer-log.md`.
+
+## Stop and report if
+
+- A "before" block of any edit is not in its file exactly as shown, or is there more than once.
+- Step 2 shows a different result: other tests failing in `strict`, other test targets, or an
+  error of another kind.
+- Step 4's build fails anywhere other than the six places it names.
+- After step 3 or 4, a test fails. Do not change a test or a fixture: stop, and give the failing
+  tests' names and their messages.
+- The fix seems to need a change anywhere else: another source file, a test under
+  `crates/gatewayd/tests`, a default for `turn`, `class` or `untrusted`, or a check on the
+  speaker's name. It does not; stop and say why you think so.
+- A test in `inferproxy` or `toolkit` fails in the gate: check once whether it fails without your
+  change, then stop and report both results.
+- The gate passes with a count other than 1130.
+- A comment in an edit does not fit the code under it. Quote it and stop.
