Translate core business logic to Prolog

[Copilot]

Implements Prolog backend for Puffin's validation, state management, and model definitions using declarative logic programming.

Implementation

Core Modules (prolog/)

• validators.pl - Declarative validation predicates for projects, prompts, GUI elements, branches, file paths
• models.pl - Claude model definitions (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) as queryable facts
• state.pl - SAM pattern with pattern-matched proposal acceptors and FSM transitions
• formatters.pl - UUID generation, date/time formatting, text processing

Integration

• src/main/prolog-bridge.js - Node.js bridge spawning SWI-Prolog processes, converts JS objects to Prolog dicts
• tests/prolog-bridge.test.js - Integration test suite (10 tests, all passing)
• scripts/demo-prolog.js - Demonstration script
• npm scripts: test:prolog, demo:prolog

Documentation

• prolog/README.md - API reference with examples
• prolog/TRANSLATION_GUIDE.md - JS→Prolog translation patterns
• prolog/examples.pl - Interactive REPL examples

Example Usage

const prologBridge = require('./src/main/prolog-bridge');

// Declarative validation
const result = await prologBridge.validateProject({
  name: 'My Project',
  description: 'A test project'
});
// { valid: true, errors: [] }

// Model queries
const model = await prologBridge.getModel('opus');
// { id: 'opus', name: 'Claude Opus', tier: 'premium' }

% Prolog side - validation rules
validate_project(Project, Result) :-
    findall(Error, project_error(Project, Error), Errors),
    (Errors = [] -> Result = valid ; Result = invalid(Errors)).

project_error(Project, 'Name required') :- 
    \+ get_dict(name, Project, _).

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• esm.ubuntu.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/lib/apt/methods/https /usr/lib/apt/methods/https (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
