Nassila's Ouroboros architecture uses seven worker codenames — each a loop stage and code module. They are product vocabulary, not seven equal app tabs. The user-facing journey is the Manuscript loop.
Worker table
| Worker | Arabic | Loop stage | End-state role | Current status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maktab | مكتب | Ingest | Manuscript upload and segmentation | Partial — DOCX/pdf.js live; Enhanced OCR eng/fra; Arabic → prefer DOCX (1.3.1) |
| Masdar | مصدر | Sources | Cited-paper text (OA PDF + user attach) | OA PDF grounding (1.2.0) + per-ref attach (1.3.0) |
| Sanad | سند | Ground | Passage vs source excerpt → verdicts | Live — L3 when Passage grounding enabled |
| Shahid | شاهد | Evidence | Tables and figures as evidence | Disabled — planned 2.0.0 |
| Raqim | رقيم | Records | Import, verify L1/L2, export (citeproc) | Live — Bibliography mode + loop feed |
| Tasnif | تصنيف | Risk | Dedupe, predatory flags, issue triage | Live — inline in loop + Bibliography |
| Sharh | شرح | Explain | Issue and mismatch explanations | Partial — Sharh-lite evidence summary (1.3.0) |
Ouroboros vs Hydra
| Ouroboros (ship) | Hydra (reject) |
|---|---|
| One manuscript audit journey | Seven peer tabs as the main product |
| Workers complete each other as stages | User copies text between modules |
| Upload → sources → audit → export | Pick a worker and hope the rest catches up |
| Unfinished stages shown as pipeline gaps | Stubs that look like finished apps |
Where workers appear in the UI
- Raqim — Bibliography mode (primary reference workspace)
- Sanad — Manuscript Sanad bar and Passage grounding settings
- Tasnif / Sharh — Inline in loop audit detail and bibliography drawer
- Maktab — Manuscript ingest (DOCX / PDF / Latin OCR); Arabic scan OCR planned 2.0.0
- Masdar — OA fetch + attach; deeper chunking planned
- Shahid — Honest stub until 2.0.0
