chore(sync): mirror backend .py + Dockerfile to Space (hf-sync-backend)

Automated backend sync from szl-holdings/a11oy main via hf-sync-backend.
Updated (differed from the Space): Dockerfile, serve.py, szl3d_holographic.py, szl_kc_loop_forge.py, szl_kc_loop_forge_metrics.py
Deleted (gone from the repo + Dockerfile COPY set): (none)

Keeps the Space-built backend (serve.py + the Dockerfile-COPY'd .py
modules) identical to GitHub main so the Space never rebuilds from a
stale backend, new endpoints don't 404 there, and orphaned modules
removed from the repo don't linger in the Space tree.

+szl_kc_loop_forge.py — THE LOOP FORGE (66th surface) — a kernel-gated
+bounded-recursion agentic-loop organ with a J-lens-style workspace readout.
+
+Fuses two REAL 2026 frontiers on the REAL Flower-Brain topology:
+
+  Frontier A — agentic loops ("engineers build loops, not prompts"). The single
+  load-bearing mechanism, converged across Claude Code /goal, SWE-agent, OpenHands,
+  Aider, Darwin Godel Machine (DGM), SICA, Voyager, Reflexion, ReAct and the
+  reward-hacking safety literature (METR, OpenAI CoT-obfuscation, SpecBench, RHB):
+  WRITER != JUDGE. Every reward-hacking paper proves an LLM judge degrades under
+  optimization pressure, so the honest SZL move makes the formal kernel the sole
+  accept/reject oracle: "evolution proposes, the kernel disposes." The proposer
+  can never call the oracle to mutate itself (structurally enforced, provable via
+  co_names inspection). Bounded recursion + a branching archive (DGM/SICA); only
+  kernel-accepted branches merge. A kernel-accepted proof horizon is the ungameable
+  throughput KPI (analogue of METR's time-horizon), NOT a lines-of-code multiplier.
+
+  Frontier B — Anthropic's J-space / global workspace (article 2026-07-02). J-space
+  is Claude's internal neural activations forming a broadcasting workspace (named
+  after the Jacobian); the J-lens reads the "silent words on the model's mind"
+  before they are written, and in a safety demo surfaces ERROR / injection / fake /
+  manipulation analogues in the internal workspace BEFORE the model acts. We build
+  an HONEST analogue: a MODELED workspace readout of THIS loop's OWN candidate
+  proposals (the "silent" tokens on the loop's mind this cycle) plus a safety-flag
+  lane — reading the loop's own proposal buffer, NOT neural activations.
+
+Routes (NEW; never collide):
+  GET  /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/manifest  — organ manifest + honesty invariants
+  POST /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/run       — run ONE bounded-recursion loop cycle
+  GET  /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/archive   — the DGM-style branching archive
+  GET  /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/workspace — the MODELED J-lens-style workspace readout
+  GET  /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/horizon   — the kernel-accepted proof-horizon KPI series
+  GET  /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/metrics   — graph/archive metrics + hard invariants
+
+HONESTY SPINE (Doctrine v11 — NON-NEGOTIABLE):
+  * Everything here is MODELED. This is a MODELED demonstration on the REAL flower
+    topology — NOT a trained model, NOT a real Jacobian on real weights, NOT alive,
+    NOT conscious. The `honesty` field says so on every endpoint, mirroring flower.
+  * The KERNEL GATE is a MODELED acceptance oracle that MIRRORS the discipline of
+    the real lutar-lean kernel (c7c0ba17, CITED) — we do NOT run Lean in-Space
+    (no toolchain there). The real proof authority is lutar-lean c7c0ba17,
+    re-verified in CI/dev, not in-Space.
+  * WRITER != JUDGE, structurally enforced: the proposer is a pure function and the
+    kernel oracle is a SEPARATE pure function; the proposer's code object does NOT
+    name the oracle (verify via co_names). The oracle is never fine-tuned against.
+  * The WORKSPACE READOUT is a MODELED readout of the LOOP's OWN candidate state
+    (proposals, drift tokens, gate verdicts) inspired by Anthropic's J-lens — it
+    reads the loop's own proposal buffer, NOT neural activations. Mirrors Anthropic's
+    caveats: imperfect method, approximately captures, single-token concepts, and
+    the mechanism deciding what enters the workspace is not known. NO consciousness.
+  * Λ stays Conjecture 1, machine-checked FALSE, rendered GRAY, never green.
+  * locked-proven core = EXACTLY 8 {F1,F4,F7,F11,F12,F18,F19,F22}, immutable.
+  * Every node/edge carries real provenance (Lean decl / DOI / arXiv / endpoint /
+    repo path). provenance_coverage MUST be 1.0.
+  * Pure stdlib (seeded LCG, no numpy, no stdlib random). Deterministic: same seed
+    => identical snapshot. Banned marketing tokens rejected (see _BANNED).
+
+Pure stdlib. Defensive: a compute failure NEVER raises out of a handler.

+szl_kc_loop_forge_metrics.py — EXTENDED GRAPH/ARCHIVE METRICS for THE LOOP FORGE organ.
+
+An OPTIONAL additive endpoint that reads the REAL loop-forge archive (imported from
+szl_kc_loop_forge — this file NEVER edits that organ) and computes archive-structure
+metrics over the real DGM-style branching archive DAG. Pure stdlib, deterministic,
+label:"MODELED". Mirrors the shape/quality of szl_kc_flower_metrics.py.
+
+What it measures (all MODELED, honest, over the REAL archive DAG):
+  (a) archive acceptance rate — kernel-accepted branches / total proposed candidates.
+  (b) recursion-depth histogram + mean — the distribution of accepted-branch depths
+      (bounded by the depth cap), plus the mean recursion depth.
+  (c) Fiedler lambda2 / connectivity of the archive DAG — the 2nd-smallest graph-
+      Laplacian eigenvalue (algebraic connectivity) of the UNDIRECTED skeleton of the
+      parent/child archive DAG, via a pure-stdlib symmetric Jacobi eigensolver copied
+      verbatim (same technique) from szl_kc_flower_metrics._fiedler_lambda2. lambda2 > 0
+      <=> the archive is one connected tree/DAG rooted at the locked-8 trunk (it always
+      is, since every accepted branch links to a parent — we report it honestly).
+  (d) honesty invariants — writer_ne_judge==True, kernel_outside_loop==True,
+      conjecture_rendered_green==0, provenance_coverage==1.0.
+
+Route (OPTIONAL, additive, never collides): GET /api/{ns}/v1/loopforge/metrics-ext
+
+HONESTY SPINE (Doctrine v11 — NON-NEGOTIABLE):
+  * The ARCHIVE is REAL (imported verbatim from szl_kc_loop_forge via defensive,
+    getattr-based adapters). The METRICS are MODELED, deterministic, pure-stdlib graph
+    statistics over that real archive DAG — never claimed as trained, alive, or measured.
+  * The KERNEL GATE upstream is a MODELED oracle mirroring lutar-lean discipline
+    (c7c0ba17, CITED; NOT run in-Space). We inherit and re-assert that honesty here.
+  * WRITER != JUDGE is re-checked structurally (via the co_names separation Dev1 exposed).
+  * Λ stays Conjecture 1, machine-checked FALSE, rendered GRAY, never green.
+  * Every node carries provenance; provenance_coverage MUST be 1.0.
+  * Pure stdlib (math only; no numpy, no stdlib random). Deterministic: same seed =>
+    identical snapshot. A compute failure NEVER raises out of a handler (fail-open).
