This convergence reinforces the architectural necessity of a deterministic, domain-agnostic middleware layer that evaluates state eligibility independently of control, optimization, or therapeutic intent.\n\n📄 See [WHITEPAPER.md](WHITEPAPER.md) for the full deterministic phase-readiness middleware design and safety rationale.\n\n## Core Concept: Phase Readiness\n\n**Phase readiness** measures whether incremental energy input is likely to:\n\n**Favorable:**\n- stabilize the system\n- preserve structural coherence\n- enable recovery or efficient operation\n\n**Unfavorable:**\n- accelerate degradation\n- push the system toward instability\n- amplify irreversible damage\n\nReadiness is modeled as a time-dependent state, informed by:\n- absolute thermal values\n- rate of temperature change\n- recent thermal history\n- gradient persistence\n- hysteresis indicators (where available)\n\nThe result is a **readiness signal**, not a prediction engine.\n\n## Architectural Position\n\nHLV Phase Readiness is intentionally decoupled from both hardware and control logic.\n\n```\n[ Sensors / Telemetry ]\n          ↓\n[ Phase Readiness Middleware ]   ← (this repository)\n          ↓\n[ Control / Policy / Optimization ]\n          ↓\n[ Actuation ]\n```\n\nThis separation ensures:\n- clean responsibility boundaries\n- vendor-agnostic integration\n- optional adoption\n- long-term maintainability\n\n## Intended Outputs\n\nImplementations may expose readiness as:\n- a normalized scalar (e.g. 0.0 – 1.0)\n- a discrete gate (BLOCK, CAUTION, ALLOW)\n- a confidence-weighted state descriptor\n\nThe middleware **never decides what action to take** — only whether the timing is favorable.\n\n## REST API for Observability\n\nThe middleware includes a read-only HTTP/JSON REST API for observability and monitoring:\n\n- **Strictly read-only:** GET endpoints only, no control surfaces\n- **Thread-safe:** Dedicated server thread with mutex-protected data access\n- **Non-blocking:** Does not interfere with readiness inference loop\n- **LAN-accessible:** Binds to 0.0.0.0:8080 by default\n\n### Available Endpoints\n\n- `GET /health` — Service health check\n- `GET /api/readiness` — Current readiness value and gate state\n- `GET /api/thermal` — Thermal state and gradients\n- `GET /api/history` — Timestamped readiness history\n- `GET /api/phase_context` — Phase boundary proximity and hysteresis\n- `GET /api/diagnostics` — Detailed system diagnostics with flag breakdown\n\nSee [REST_API.md](REST_API.md) for complete documentation and usage examples.\n\n## Intended Use Cases\n\nAlthough domain-agnostic by design, this middleware naturally applies to:\n\n- **Battery systems** — charge/discharge timing, recovery windows\n- **Energy storage \u0026 conversion** — thermal saturation avoidance\n- **Medical energy delivery** — laser, ultrasound, RF timing\n- **Propulsion \u0026 power systems** — burn windows, thermal soak limits\n- **Advanced materials** — fatigue and phase-transition sensitivity\n\nAny system where **timing matters as much as magnitude** can benefit.\n\n## Non-Goals (Very Important)\n\nThis project explicitly avoids:\n- high-fidelity physical simulation\n- domain-specific heuristics baked into core logic\n- hidden optimization objectives\n- autonomous decision authority\n\nIf you are looking for:\n- a controller\n- a BMS\n- a simulator\n- an AI optimizer\n\n**This is not that project.**\n\n## Determinism \u0026 Trust\n\nAll logic in this middleware is designed to be:\n- deterministic\n- inspectable\n- explainable\n- reproducible\n\nNo probabilistic learning is required or assumed.\n\nAny statistical smoothing must be:\n- bounded\n- documented\n- optional\n\n**Trust is established through clarity, not opacity.**\n\n## Relationship to Other HLV Projects\n\nThis repository is intentionally separate from:\n- HLV hardware adapters\n- battery-specific middleware\n- control or optimization layers\n\nThose systems may **consume** phase readiness outputs —  \nthis repo **depends on none of them**.\n\nSeparation ensures:\n- reuse across domains\n- minimal churn\n- architectural clarity\n\n## Project Status\n\n**Early architectural phase.**\n\nInitial focus:\n- defining clean interfaces\n- documenting assumptions\n- establishing non-goals\n- preventing overreach\n\nFunctionality will grow slowly and deliberately.\n\n## Building and Testing\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- C++17 compatible compiler (g++ 7.0+ or clang++ 5.0+)\n- POSIX-compliant system
