✅ COMPLETE — all 39 modules run and pass (
python status.py→ 39/39).What Hephaestus is: an artifact that builds better artifacts. The heart is FORGE.html (and
forge/hephaestus_forge.py) — feed it a weak artifact and it works the weakest article each pass, emitting a hash-linked lineage of strictly-better children until the artifact is constitutional (the bar set by engine 4.1). No CDN, runs headless. The legacy restitution UI isPROMETHEUS.html. Map + ranking in STATUS.md.
HEPHAESTUS = the divine craftsman who builds for both gods and humans.
He is the forge. This is what he built.

Left panel (HEPHAESTUS forge):
- Enter any claim as target text
- Set value (USD at issue)
- Click ⬥ Flay Target to run the engine
- Or load a PALAMEDES test vector (V1–V5)
- PROTEUS Dream generates targets from the shadow vocabulary
Right panel (ERIS, CLOTHO, KRONOS, DIKE, MNEMOSYNE):
- ERIS shows axiom tension conflicts
- CLOTHO shows the branching ledger
- KRONOS shows axiom compression (22→minimum essential)
- DIKE generates a legal restitution notice
- MNEMOSYNE shows the 6 eternal blocks
