+# Ruby Modeling Integration Plan (Zero-Erasure, No Hot-Path Validation)
+
+This document defines the implementation plan for enabling full SolverForge problem modeling from Ruby while preserving SolverForge's performance architecture.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Preserve monomorphization and zero-erasure behavior in all solver hot paths.
+2. Allow Ruby users to model the same classes of problems that Rust users can model.
+3. Avoid all per-move, per-score-calculation, and per-constraint runtime validation.
+4. Support real-time web streaming (SSE/WebSocket) and telemetry (including moves/steps per second).
+
+## Non-Negotiable Performance Invariants
+
+- No Ruby callbacks from the solving hot path.
+- No runtime schema/type validation in move evaluation or scoring loops.
+- No interpreted constraint execution in the hot path.
+- No dynamic type-erasure introduced beyond existing intentional boundaries in the solver.
+
+Validation must occur only at cold boundaries:
+
+- build time (DSL -> generated Rust -> compile)
+- model load time
+- problem ingestion time (once per submission)
+
+After ingestion, execution is fully native over typed Rust structures.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+The integration has three layers:
+
+1. `solverforge-ruby` gem (authoring + orchestration)
+2. code generation bridge (Ruby DSL -> Rust crate)
+3. native runtime (`cdylib`) loaded by Ruby
+
+### Layer 1: Ruby Authoring DSL
+
+Ruby users define:
+
+- planning entities and facts
+- planning solution fields
+- constraints
+- solver configuration and termination settings
+
+The DSL compiles into a canonical model IR (internal gem representation), then emits Rust source code.
+
+### Layer 2: Rust Codegen Crate
+
+The generated crate uses SolverForge's public API directly:
+
+- `#[planning_solution]`, `#[planning_entity]`, `#[problem_fact]`
+- `ConstraintFactory` and stream joins/filters/penalties
+- `SolverManager` lifecycle APIs
+
+The crate compiles into a shared library and is cached by:
+
+- model hash
+- SolverForge version
+- target triple
+- selected feature flags
+
+### Layer 3: Native Runtime Boundary
+
+Ruby interacts with native code through coarse-grained calls only, for example:
+
+- `build_model`
+- `solve`
+- `pause` / `resume` / `cancel`
+- `get_snapshot`
+- `analyze_snapshot`
+- `next_event` / event stream iterator
+
+There is no per-move crossing of the Ruby/native boundary.
+
+## Feature Parity Strategy (Ruby ~= Rust modeling power)
+
+To match Rust modeling power without runtime penalties:
+
+- Ruby DSL is declarative and compiles to Rust expressions.
+- Advanced constraints are represented as codegen templates, not interpreted lambdas.
+- Escape hatch: user-defined native extension snippets are generated into Rust modules when DSL abstraction is insufficient.
+
+This preserves performance and avoids introducing compatibility shims in hot code.
+
+## Validation Policy
+
+### Allowed validation points
+
+1. DSL compile/emit phase:
+   - structure and naming checks
+   - unsupported construct detection
+2. Rust compile phase:
+   - type correctness and trait bounds
+3. Job submission ingest phase:
+   - payload shape and ID consistency
+
+### Forbidden validation points
+
+- move selector iteration
+- score calculation loops
+- incremental constraint propagation
+- accepted move application
+
+## Eventing, Snapshots, and Streaming
+
+The runtime exposes lifecycle events and snapshot revisions suitable for web UIs.
+
+### Snapshot model
+
+- Events include snapshot revision metadata for best/progress states.
+- UI fetches immutable snapshots by revision.
+- Analysis calls are always revision-bound.
+
+### SSE/WebSocket model
+
+- Server relays native events to SSE/WebSocket clients.
+- Event payload includes lifecycle state, telemetry counters, snapshot revision, and terminal reason.
+
+### Moves/steps per second
+
+- Compute from telemetry deltas (`step_count` over wall-clock interval).
+- Provide both instantaneous and rolling rates in server/UI layers.
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+## Phase 0 (Foundation)
+
+- Create `solverforge-ruby` repository skeleton.
+- Set up native extension build pipeline (`cdylib`) and cache directory strategy.
+- Define canonical IR schema used internally by the gem.
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- build command (`solverforge-ruby build`)
+- deterministic model hash
+- integration smoke test that compiles and loads a trivial model
+
+## Phase 1 (Core Modeling Surface)
+
+- Ruby DSL for entities/facts/solution and basic constraint streams.
+- Codegen for uni/bi streams, join/filter, hard/soft penalties.
+- Single-job solve with event polling and final solution retrieval.
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- parity with quick-start class of examples
+- snapshot retrieval and basic telemetry
+
+## Phase 2 (Lifecycle + Streaming)
+
+- pause/resume/cancel integration
+- revision-bound snapshot analysis API
+- SSE and WebSocket relay adapters
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- dashboard-ready event stream
+- robust reconnect behavior with last-seen revision
+
+## Phase 3 (Advanced Parity)
+
+- list-variable modeling and advanced move-family configuration
+- nearby selectors and richer phase composition
+- native escape-hatch modules for edge constraints
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- Ruby can model advanced list-heavy planning scenarios without falling back to interpreted scoring
+
+## Observability and Performance Gates
+
+The integration cannot ship without meeting all gates:
+
+1. Zero hot-path validations verified by profiling/tracing.
+2. No Ruby callback frames inside move scoring/evaluation traces.
+3. Throughput baseline within agreed budget versus equivalent Rust-native model.
+4. Event streaming overhead bounded and configurable.
+
+## Risk Register
+
+1. DSL expressiveness drift from Rust surface
+   - Mitigation: codegen from canonical templates aligned to wireframed public APIs.
+2. Build latency from on-demand codegen/compile
+   - Mitigation: aggressive cache reuse and prebuild hooks.
+3. Runtime feature skew across targets
+   - Mitigation: target matrix CI with fixture models and golden snapshots.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Ruby model definitions compile to typed Rust artifacts.
+- Solver runs with no Ruby calls in hot loops.
+- Snapshot lifecycle works end-to-end.
+- SSE/WebSocket events are consumable by web clients.
+- Reported moves/steps-per-second derives from native telemetry counters.
