# SWOOSH — Deterministic Orchestrator for WHOOSH

**SWOOSH** is a drop-in replacement for WHOOSH’s orchestration core, implemented as a **deterministic hierarchical state machine** (statecharts). It governs project ingestion, council formation, environment provisioning, and execution loops (PLAN → WORK → REVIEW → REVERB) with **idempotent transitions, WAL + checkpoints, and HLC-ordered commits**.

- **Audit-first**: Every accepted transition is written to a WAL and emits a BUBBLE Decision Record (DR) with UCXL backlink.
- **Chaos-ready**: Explicit guards, timeouts tied to BACKBEAT windows (or sine-pressure), compensation actions, and quorum certificates over HMMM.
- **Drop-in**: Exposes a small, stable Transition API; uses HMMM for signed proposals and CHORUS identity; respects KACHING license gates.

> Status: *Bootstrap*. This repo seeds the project with SpecKit, statecharts, OpenAPI, ADRs, and ops harnesses.
