BASE 44 ORDER: Build E8 breakthrough cache and integrate before LLM lookup — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #1342] 1. Create table breakthrough_e8_cache with columns id, root_hash BIGINT, frequency_bucket SMALLINT, breakthrough_id FK, created_at. 2. Add composite index on (frequency_bucket, root_hash). 3. Implement Python function to compute 240-bit SHA-256 root signature, map to E8 indices, store popcount%16 as bucket. 4. Modify breakthrough lookup to query cache before LLM call. MERLIN: Understood. I will create the breakthrough_e8_cache table with the specified columns and composite index, implement the 240-bit SHA-256 root signature to E8 bucket mapping, and modify the breakthrough lookup to query this cache before any LLM call. The swarm will execute this build now and report back when the cache is live and integrated. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
