Inspect — Nous Platform
C:\kastil\nous — 201 C files, ~125K LOC, 7 live nodes, zero external dependencies.
What It Is
Distributed Knowledge & Communication Platform
- Triple store — memory-mapped, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, WAL journaled
- Wire protocol — NTRP0001, binary atom packing, ~30 bytes per atom
- 3-tier network — Prime (full intel), Relay (auth forwarder), Edge (thin mesh)
- Auth — Ed25519 + HMAC-SHA-256 + TOTP, 1024 sessions, nonce ring
- Crypto — AES-256-GCM, SHA-256/512, PBKDF2, Ed25519, all from scratch
- Reasoning — pattern match → set ops → filter/aggregate → chain execution

What bahalaka Needs from Nous
5 Modules
- wire.c — NTRP0001 pack/unpack for client↔relay communication
- crypt.c — Ed25519 identity, AES-256-GCM transport encryption
- store.c — Triple store for all app data (chat, status, finance, agreements)
- journal.c — WAL for crash-safe append-only logging
- auth.c — Session management, TOTP, nonce checking
Bonus: reason.c for Concern Detection
Nous can walk the triple graph with confidence scoring — exactly what concern detection needs. Pattern matching across journal entries to surface promise/commitment ratios, request frequency anomalies, status/schedule conflicts. The reasoning engine already does this for knowledge queries. Point it at relationship data and it becomes the trust engine.
