Noema was built in sixteen explicit phases, each committed with tests and documentation before the next began, and each verifiable on its own. This page records what each phase delivered, how the result was measured, and the release notes and changelog.
How it was built
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 | Repository, plan, architecture, threat model, ADRs |
| 1 | Daemon skeleton, configuration, embedded migrations, authentication, roles, sessions, audit, metrics |
| 2 | Minds, identity, versioned personality, templates, self-model |
| 3 | Append-only cognitive events, provenance, live streams |
| 4 | The cognitive cycle: processes, attention, workspace, executive, modes |
| 5 | Memory: kinds, fused retrieval, decay, relationships |
| 6 | Beliefs: evidence arithmetic, statuses, contradictions, corrections |
| 7 | Language models: roles, providers, routing, budgets, recording, prompts |
| 8 | Conversation and the first milestone: a mind you can talk to and inspect |
| 9 | Goals, drives, affect, predictions, calibration, curiosity |
| 10 | Metacognition, reflection, consolidation, narrative, notifications |
| 11 | Relationship graph |
| 12 | Capabilities, policy, approvals |
| 13 | Integrations: research folder, git, Prometheus, webhooks |
| 14 | Dreaming |
| 15 | Snapshots, forks, comparison, export/import, replay, experiments |
| 16 | Two-factor authentication, security suite, OpenAPI, scanners, performance pass, screenshots, release |
How it is verified
Every subsystem has unit tests that run against a fresh database schema; an end-to-end acceptance test drives the whole daemon with a fake model through the first milestone (start, log in, create a mind, converse, inspect memory and beliefs, restart and continue); a security suite exercises prompt injection, roles, cross-mind isolation, stored scripts, secret disclosure and hostile archives; and an opt-in load test seeds a realistic volume and rejects any hot query that drifts off its index. The race detector, staticcheck, gosec and govulncheck were clean at release.
