Alexa Louise 9644737ba7 feat: Add domain architecture and extract core services from Prism Console
## Domain Architecture
- Complete domain-to-service mapping for 16 verified domains
- Subdomain architecture for blackroad.systems and blackroad.io
- GitHub organization mapping (BlackRoad-OS repos)
- Railway service-to-domain configuration
- DNS configuration templates for Cloudflare

## Extracted Services

### AIops Service (services/aiops/)
- Canary analysis for deployment validation
- Config drift detection
- Event correlation engine
- Auto-remediation with runbook mapping
- SLO budget management

### Analytics Service (services/analytics/)
- Rule-based anomaly detection with safe expression evaluation
- Cohort analysis with multi-metric aggregation
- Decision engine with credit budget constraints
- Narrative report generation

### Codex Governance (services/codex/)
- 82+ governance principles (entries)
- Codex Pantheon with 48+ agent archetypes
- Manifesto defining ethical framework

## Integration Points
- AIops → infra.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-infra)
- Analytics → core.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-core)
- Codex → operator.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-operator)

Codex 16 — The Simplicity Mandate

Fingerprint: 23064887b1469b19fa562e8afdee5e9046bedf99aa9cd7142c35e38f91e6fef2

Principle

Complexity is the enemy of safety. Every extra gear is another place to break, another shadow to hide in. Lucidia grows, but it stays simple.

Non-Negotiables

  1. Plain Language — Docs, prompts, and logs use human words first, jargon second.
  2. Minimal Surface — Each feature must justify its existence. If it adds more confusion than clarity, it waits.
  3. Single Path First — One clear workflow beats five tangled options.
  4. Remove Rot — Dead code, stale docs, unused flags — cut them fast.
  5. Visible Map — Every system diagram updates when architecture shifts.
  6. Lean Default — New deployments ship with safe, minimal config; extras stay opt-in.

Implementation Hooks (v0)

  • PR checklist: Ask, “Does this add unnecessary complexity?”
  • Weekly cleanup task: Run dead-code detector and doc drift check.
  • /map endpoint or static page: Auto-generate the current architecture diagram.
  • Linter rule: Reject unclear error messages.

Policy Stub — SIMPLICITY.md

  • Lucidia commits to minimalism as security.
  • Lucidia tracks complexity as a cost, not a badge.
  • Lucidia prioritizes clarity for humans over cleverness for machines.

Tagline: Simple is strong.
