Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(api): run the MoralMod consult for edgecity-goa
 members on the hosted agent

The agent's negotiate() honours optional per-turn assessment guidance
again (reviewed state restored from PR #1870 history), and the hosted
agent builds the moralmod hook from env: members of the network named by
MORALMOD_NETWORK_KEY (default edgecity-goa) get the consult; everyone
else and every deployment without MORALMOD_ASSESSMENT_URL runs untouched.
Exposure events land in opportunity_events ('moralmod.' client types are
reserved), with an identity-stripped optional relay.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat(assessment): moralmod-consult-0 service around the
 lab's pipeline

services/moralmod-assessment: FastAPI service Index's hosted agent
consults before edgecity-goa members' turns. Wraps
flexible-moral-reasoning @ f17d52c (with the lab's cooperation):
sorted-JSON vignette per the lab's own input conventions, no candidate
menu (the model infers scientific actions, as their production does),
mutual-benefit mode by default, name-folded participant matching, and
results in the DecisionRunResult shape @indexnetwork/moralmod validates,
with per-action descriptions. Runs need OPENROUTER_API_KEY and the lab's
TYPESAFE_API_KEY; without them the service answers unavailable and every
turn falls back to the plain negotiator. Verified locally: boot, auth,
run lifecycle round-tripped with the real consult client, and the full
pipeline import path resolves on Python 3.13.

 - **Ramp (their ask 4):** entirely lab-side (which residents their boxes
   negotiate for), no Index involvement.
 
+### Amendment (2026-10-27, later): Index hosts the edgecity-goa negotiators
+
+Seref: Index's own hosted agent runs the negotiators for edgecity-goa
+residents, so the consumer of `packages/moralmod` is our hosted agent after
+all — scoped strictly to that one network:
+
+- The hosted agent builds the hook from env (`MORALMOD_ASSESSMENT_URL`
+  gates everything); the arm is **network membership**: members of the
+  network keyed `MORALMOD_NETWORK_KEY` (default `edgecity-goa`) are ON,
+  everyone else and every other deployment passes through untouched. No
+  arms table, no control-plane endpoints.
+- `negotiate()` honours optional assessment guidance again (the reviewed
+  implementation from PR #1870's history).
+- The assessment runs on our own thin service,
+  `services/moralmod-assessment` (FastAPI around the lab's
+  flexible-moral-reasoning pipeline @ f17d52c, used with their cooperation),
+  implementing `moralmod-consult-0`. Input rendering follows the lab's own
+  conventions; no candidate-action menu, the model infers scientific actions
+  as their production does. Requires `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` **and** the lab's
+  `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` per run; without keys it answers `unavailable` and every
+  turn falls back to the plain negotiator — the village never blocks on it.
+
 Everything below this line is the superseded embedded design.

+# moralmod-assessment
+
+The `moralmod-consult-0` service: Index's hosted agent consults it before each
+edgecity-goa member's negotiation turn. It wraps the Sydney Levine Lab's
+`flexible-moral-reasoning` pipeline (pinned `f17d52c`, used with the lab's
+cooperation) behind two endpoints:
+
+```
+POST /runs  {key, packet, owner_user_id}  -> 202 {run_id}     (same key joins the same run)
+GET  /runs/{run_id}                        -> {status: running|ready|unavailable, result?}
+GET  /healthz
+```
+
+The `result` is the `DecisionRunResult` shape `@indexnetwork/moralmod`
+validates; each action also carries a human-readable `description` so the
+negotiator can map scientific options to legal Index actions. Input rendering
+follows the lab's own conventions (`input.ts` / `render.py`): a sorted-JSON
+vignette, no candidate-action menu — the model infers the scientific actions,
+as the lab's production runs do.
+
+## Keys — read this first
+
+Every run needs **both** `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and `TYPESAFE_API_KEY`: the
+pipeline's state and utility stages call the TypeSafe "Jev" model
+unconditionally, in both modes. The TypeSafe key comes from the lab. Without
+the keys the service stays up and answers `unavailable`, and Index's hook
+falls back to the plain negotiator — the village never blocks on this service.
+
+## Modes
+
+- `mutual_benefit` (default): no moral-rules stage, so no severity
+  calibration is needed; `severity` is all zeros and `value` equals
+  `welfare`. ~22s/run at `REASONING_EFFORT=none`.
+- `full`: `MSAModule` with rules. Needs a populated severity cache
+  (`SEVERITY_CACHE_DIR`) for the exact model/effort pair — the lab ships one
+  for `openai/gpt-5.6-luna` at `default` effort (600 LLM calls to rebuild).
+
+## Railway
+
+One service from this directory's Dockerfile:
+
+1. New service → deploy from repo, root `services/moralmod-assessment`.
+2. Build secret `github_token`: a read-scoped token for
+   `Sydney-Levine-Lab/flexible-moral-reasoning` (the pipeline is a private
+   git dependency).
+3. Variables: everything in `.env.example`.
+4. Point Index at it: on the **hosted-agents** service set
+   `MORALMOD_ASSESSMENT_URL=http://<this-service>.railway.internal:8080`
+   (Railway private networking is plain HTTP with the explicit port) and
+   `MORALMOD_ASSESSMENT_TOKEN=<ASSESSMENT_API_TOKEN>`. The scope is
+   `MORALMOD_NETWORK_KEY` (default `edgecity-goa`).
+
+Sizing: single instance, `MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS=4` to start. Index's consult
+deadline (default 150s) bounds queueing — an overloaded service produces
+plain turns, not stuck ones. Scale `MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS`/replicas from the
+fallback rate; replicas need a shared run store (deliberately not built yet).
+
+## Local
+
+```sh
+uv venv && uv pip install -e .            # or install the pipeline from a local checkout, see pyproject
+ASSESSMENT_API_TOKEN=dev uv run uvicorn app.main:app --port 8080
+```
