  - Returns: (manifest, segments, compressed_payload)

- **execute_gx_path(gx_path, context)**
  - Full pipeline orchestration
  - Step 1: Load glyph context

### `gx_cli/` - Command-Line Interface
- **parser.py**: Argument parsing

  - `inspect`: View .gx metadata
  - `run`: Execute .gx (legacy)
  - `summary`: Quick summary
  - **`lain`**: Execute through LAIN cognition ← NEW

- **dispatcher.py**: Route commands to handlers

- **commands.py**: Command implementations
  - `cmd_lain(path, mode)`: Execute .gx through LAIN
    - Calls `lain_execute_gx_path`
    - Displays formatted output with fused_symbol, key points, diagnostics, glyph resonance

## Data Flow Example

### Input: Python Source
```python
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

result = greet("World")
print(result)
```

### Compilation
```
compile source.py → source.gx (438 bytes)
Format: [XIC header] [manifest JSON] [segments] [compressed payload]
```

### Execution Through LAIN
```
1. Load GX binary
   - Extract manifest, segments, compressed code
   
2. Load glyph context
   - Check for glyph_id in manifest
   - If found, fetch from registry
   - Normalize to 13-field context
   
3. Process 8 lanes (each lane analyzes segments differently)
   - Lane 0: Structure → "Functional design with clear control flow"
   - Lane 1: Semantics → "String operations and output"
   - Lane 2: Compression → "Residual entropy from compression"
   - Lane 3: Symbols → "Function call and return patterns"
   - Lane 4: Hints → "Simple execution, no complex recursion"
   - Lane 5: Predictions → "Expected output: greeting message"
   - Lane 6: Contributor → "GlyphRunner compiler"
   - Lane 7: Epoch → "Version 1.0.0, May 2026"
   
4. Inject glyph metadata into each lane
   - Add glyph_id, glyph_name, glyph_score
   - Add frequency signature and activation mode
   - Compute activation_resonance, frequency_resonance
   
5. Fuse lanes
   - Combine all summaries
   - Merge key points
   - Consolidate constraints
   
6. Augment with glyph
   - Add glyph fields to fused symbol
   - Extend key_points with glyph insights
   - Compute overall_resonance
   
7. Render output
   - Display fused symbol summary
   - List key points
   - Show diagnostics with glyph resonance
```

## Design Decisions

1. **8-Lane Architecture**: Each lane represents a different cognitive dimension. By analyzing the same code from 8 angles, we gain comprehensive understanding.

2. **Glyph Injection**: Glyphs augment cognition without replacing it. Glyph context is optional—code executes correctly with or without glyph association.

3. **Resonance Metric**: Combines three independent measurements (activation, frequency, symbolic) with weighted formula for robust quality assessment.

4. **Relative Imports**: Package structure uses relative imports (`from .module import`) to allow import from any context.

5. **Deterministic Output**: GSZ3 compression ensures consistent binaries across runs; no timestamps in payload.

6. **Graceful Degradation**: Lane processors catch exceptions and return safe defaults, ensuring full execution even with partial lane failures.

## Performance Characteristics

- **Load Time**: ~50ms (lazy-load 600 glyphs)
- **Cognition Time**: ~100ms (8 lanes × segment analysis)
- **Total End-to-End**: ~150ms for typical file
- **Memory**: ~50MB (glyph registry in memory)

## Future Enhancements

1. **Batch Processing**: Execute multiple .gx files in sequence
2. **Visualization**: Render resonance metrics as charts
3. **Filtering**: `lain --glyph-category communication --min-score 200`
4. **Export**: JSON/YAML output for integration with other tools
5. **Caching**: Cache frequently-used glyph contexts
6. **Parallel Lanes**: Process lanes concurrently for larger files
7. **Custom Lane Processors**: Allow user-defined analysis functions
8. **Glyph Recommendation**: Suggest best glyph match for code
