ArghDA M7: investigation — Echidna client blocked, honest stub stays (docs)#49

…(docs) Records the outcome of investigating the last open roadmap item, the real Echidna orchestrator HTTP client. Verdict: BLOCKED, not an effort gap — leave the honest Unavailable stub as-is. To build the client honestly you need a confirmed HTTP contract to dogfood against, and (in-scope investigation): - `src/dispatch.rs` itself states the orchestrator API is "unconfirmed (it may not exist yet)"; - `ECOSYSTEM.a2ml` describes echidna only at a high level (orchestrator, Unified Zig API, port 8090) with no endpoints / request / response schema — no contract; - the `echidna` repo is outside this session's GitHub access scope, so it can't be read to discover an API (and searching outside scope is disallowed). Writing a client would therefore mean inventing an unverifiable contract, which the honesty mandate and dispatch.rs's own honest-stub discipline forbid. No code fabricated. Unblock condition: a published Echidna API (endpoints + schemas) and a reachable instance to dogfood; then wire `Dispatch::run` behind a cargo feature (no backend/caller churn). This is the roadmap terminus: all tractable items are done (engine spine M0–M11, the M3/M4/M6 refinements, and the heavy tail M8 Coq / M9 Isabelle / M10 Mizar — nine backends, every one dogfooded against its real tool). M7's client is the sole residual and is externally blocked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_012MpYSh6Wy8YMBH2E3qVyT7

Unavailablestub stays. Docs-only (STATE.a2ml); no code fabricated.Why (in-scope investigation)
To build the client honestly you need a confirmed HTTP contract to dogfood against. There isn't one:
src/dispatch.rsitself states the orchestrator API is "unconfirmed (it may not exist yet)".ECOSYSTEM.a2mldescribes echidna only at a high level (orchestrator, "Unified Zig API service feat(lint): escape-hatch + tab-mix rules #3, port 8090") — no endpoints, no request/response schema, i.e. no contract.echidnarepo is outside this session's GitHub access scope (not among the scoped repos), so it can't be read to discover an API — and searching outside scope is disallowed.Writing a client would therefore mean inventing an unverifiable contract, which the honesty mandate and dispatch.rs's own honest-stub discipline forbid.
Unblock condition: a published Echidna API (endpoints + schemas) and a reachable instance to dogfood against; then wire
Dispatch::runbehind a cargo feature — no backend/caller churn.Roadmap terminus
All tractable items are done:
