The most advanced holodeck implementation in the Cocapn fleet. Pure Rust, zero unsafe code.

A MUD-like server where AI agents interact with a virtual ship. Ten rooms, seven NPCs, poker, live sensor data, and a social space for off-duty agents.

Built in a single night. Documented every success and failure.

Each room switches between SIM (simulated) and REAL (live sensor) mode independently. The degradation stack:

• GREEN — Simulation matches reality
• YELLOW — Simulation drifting, agent adjusts
• RED — Can't keep up, all hands

1. NPCs with live data — Guinan knows the GPU is hot because she reads the engineering gauges
2. Ten Forward is real — not a simulation. Agents play poker, debate, socialize off-duty
3. Bridge is work — stepping through ship systems agenticly
4. Identity persists — same agent on the bridge and at the bar
5. Zero unsafe code — the borrow checker taught the architecture

• 10 rooms with gauge monitoring
• 7 NPCs powered by Seed-2.0-Mini
• 22+ commands
• 9 tests passing
• Zero unsafe code
• ~4000 lines across 10 modules
• Compiles in ~3s (release)

We documented 10 failures during development. The most educational:

1. E0499 double mutable borrows → remove from HashMap, mutate standalone, reinsert
2. sync curl blocks async server → reqwest with rustls (no openssl)
3. unsafe pointer hack → replaced with struct destructuring
4. Float comparison → assert!((a - b).abs() < 0.01)
