 - **Named future consumer**: `cordfuse/politik` — chamber write serialization. v1.1+; channel-naming and step taxonomy TBD pending Politik architecture review.

-Originated in Cortex dev session 2026-05-26 with dev team actors loaded. Source memory: `data/memories/20260528T035510.30Z-28a2f8303f2c3165.md` in `steve-krisjanovs/cortex`. Original codename was `turnstile`; renamed to `spkr` then to `turnq` (2026-05-28) — `turnq` is a web3 respelling of "token," directly referencing the 1984 token ring pattern. Original protocol design specified WebSocket only; revised to WSS-first/SSE-fallback to cover enterprise environments. Server revised from Hono to Express for broader ecosystem compatibility.
