Pulse TELOS page: four composite dimension bars stand in for the seven in LIFEOS_STATE.json, and template files score as real numbers

[lgertel]

Version: LifeOS 7.40.4 (ce046f2)

What

LIFEOS_STATE.json carries seven dimensions (health, money, freedom, creative, relationships, rhythms, infrastructure). The TELOS page's "Life Dimensions" band renders four surfaces built by averaging pairs: creative_freedom = avg(creative, freedom), finances = avg(money, finances), plus health and relationships. Two consequences:

• rhythms and infrastructure never appear anywhere on the page, and the band's "average" is an average of the four composites, not of the seven captured values.
• A dimension whose source file is still the shipped template (provenance: template) contributes its scaffold number as if it were captured. With creative = 0 (template) and freedom = 75, the page reads "Creative Freedom 38" — a number no file states.

Where

LIFEOS/PULSE/Observability/observability.ts, buildDimensionsFromIdealState (line 3408):

• the comment at line 3406: "Composite rule for creative_freedom: average the underlying creative and freedom percentages … Missing source dimension contributes 0";
• the surface table at lines 3442–3450: four entries (health, creative_freedom, relationships, finances) with sources: ["CREATIVE.md", "FREEDOM.md"] etc.;
• avg at lines 3425–3428 averages whatever numbers are present and returns 0 for none, with no provenance check on the source files.

Reproduce

1. Fresh install, run the interview for one or two dimensions only, so the rest keep provenance: template in USER/TELOS/IDEAL_STATE/*.md.
2. bun LIFEOS/TOOLS/UpdateLifeosState.ts (or wait for the Stop hook), then curl -s localhost:31337/api/telos/overview | jq '.dimensions'.
3. Observe four entries, none for rhythms or infrastructure, and a creative_freedom.cur that is the mean of a captured and a template value.

Expected

• One dimension list, shared by the state updater, the gap computer and Pulse, so every surface renders the same seven and cannot drift.
• A template dimension scores null ("not captured"), never a number, and is never averaged into a composite; a composite with no captured source is null too.
• Rings, bars and the band average only captured dimensions and say "not captured" for the rest.

Fix shape

A LIFEOS/TOOLS/lib/dimensions.ts exporting the seven-entry DIMENSIONS list, the surface definitions and a composeSurface(pcts, sources) that returns the mean of captured sources or null; UpdateLifeosState.ts writes pct: null plus provenance for template files; observability.ts and the page consume the list and treat null as "not captured". Landed as one library file plus three consumer edits; a PR can follow.

Root cause landed: nothing on the read path honoured provenance: template, so a fresh install scored the samples. Template files now yield null and composites skip null sources instead of averaging a 0. The seven-dimension redesign I'm not taking; four surfaces is a design choice. Next release. Thanks.
