⚠️ Research preview — v0.1.0. Published for real-life testing and feedback, not for production. APIs may change between 0.1.x releases — pin a version.

The server-side transport shell + tier-0 salience gate for the Percept cognition core.

It speaks the frozen edge wire contract — the brain compiles active goals down to a WatchSpec (anchors + per-goal cheap-detector selection); a coarse motion gate consumes that spec frame-by-frame, reports a Tier0Signal up, and the expensive cloud perceive_judged call runs only when salience clears threshold. It also hosts the edge detector registry — cheap, opt-in "skills" (motion-periodicity, acoustic-onset, pose-openness) the brain selects per goal to count/propose timed boundaries on-device.

Pure stdlib for the L1 lane (numpy is an optional fast path; mediapipe is opt-in via [pose]). The real on-device gate is @percept/edge (JS/WASM); this is the Python server-side reference that speaks the same contract.
