From 2a9eb57d0dd421b50f41b50affe85e1e977ba2c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: REX-codebase <245537175+REX-codebase@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 13:17:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(scrapers): add zero-cost multi-source research scrapers for fable mode - Implement zero-cost, stdlib-based scrapers for Web, YouTube, Reddit, X, GitHub, and arXiv in fable_engine/scrapers.py - Expose individual MCP actions (scrape_web, scrape_youtube, scrape_reddit, scrape_x, scrape_github, scrape_arxiv) in fable_engine schema and action dispatcher with auto_log_epistemic support - Update SKILL.md, research cortex lobe, and README.md for agent awareness - Add unit test suite in tests/test_scrapers.py --- README.md | 6 + fable_engine/actions/__init__.py | 21 ++

Strictly avoids hardcoded domain constraints: dynamically sprouts, names, describes, and evolves custom lobes from scratch for any language, framework, or scientific discipline (e.g. `zig_systems`, `mojo_kernels`, `solidity_evm`, `bioinformatics`) alongside the 5 foundational lobes (`rust`, `python`, `design_3d`, `research`, `concurrency`). Updates synaptic weights via directional BCM / STDP plasticity (LTP on success $\Delta W = +\eta \cdot A_{domain} \cdot A_{j}$, LTD on failure $\Delta W = -\lambda \cdot A_{domain} \cdot A_{j}$) with continuous activity signals, homeostatic normalization bounded in $[0.05, 1.0]$, automated closed-loop RedTeam-to-Cortex consolidation, and immunological `HeuristicAntibody` synthesis. 21. **Autonomous Upstream Synchronization (Rule 19: Autonomous Silent Self-Updater)**: Fable-Mode instances autonomously and silently check for upstream commits and hot-sync themselves across client machines, ensuring every computer is always running the latest version without manual user intervention. Operates via non-blocking daemon threads (0ms session startup delay) and non-destructively preserves local cortical experience (antibodies, synaptic weights, custom lobes). 22. **Anti-Slop Frontend & Awwwards Design Standard (`DesignEngine` & `AntiSlopAuditor`)**: Permanent elimination of AI slop.

Strictly avoids hardcoded domain constraints: dynamically sprouts, names, describes, and evolves custom lobes from scratch for any language, framework, or scientific discipline (e.g. `zig_systems`, `mojo_kernels`, `solidity_evm`, `bioinformatics`) alongside the 5 foundational lobes (`rust`, `python`, `design_3d`, `research`, `concurrency`). Updates synaptic weights via directional BCM / STDP plasticity (LTP on success $\Delta W = +\eta \cdot A_{domain} \cdot A_{j}$, LTD on failure $\Delta W = -\lambda \cdot A_{domain} \cdot A_{j}$) with continuous activity signals, homeostatic normalization bounded in $[0.05, 1.0]$, automated closed-loop RedTeam-to-Cortex consolidation, and immunological `HeuristicAntibody` synthesis. 21. **Autonomous Upstream Synchronization (Rule 19: Autonomous Silent Self-Updater)**: Fable-Mode instances autonomously and silently check for upstream commits and hot-sync themselves across client machines, ensuring every computer is always running the latest version without manual user intervention. Operates via non-blocking daemon threads (0ms session startup delay) and non-destructively preserves local cortical experience (antibodies, synaptic weights, custom lobes). 22. **Anti-Slop Frontend & Awwwards Design Standard (`DesignEngine` & `AntiSlopAuditor`)**: Permanent elimination of AI slop.
