A TorQ application overlay that captures data partitioned by date AND instrument, and serves it through kdb-x virtual tables. No RDB, no HDB, no sort process and no gateway: the writer writes where the readers read, and nothing moves at end of day. The instrument becomes a directory rather than a column, so a selective lookup is a directory lookup instead of a scan. That needs no p# attribute, which means the live day is as fast as history and there is nothing to rebuild overnight. Contents code/wdb/vtwrite.q writer overrides (5 of them) code/processes/vtidb.q the reader code/processes/vtcompress.q the weekend compression job appconfig/ process list, settings, compression tiers testfiles/ 16 assertion tests + 9 evidence scripts docs/ architecture document and status report Verification ./regress.sh 16 assertion tests, 16/16 ./selftest.sh end-to-end through the live stack, 7/7 Results checked against the same bytes in a stock kdb+ database: 16 of 19 queries identical, 3 raise an error, none silently different. Known limitation: a single virtual table cannot span both this format and existing date-partitioned history, because the column list is taken from the first directory only. Raised with KX; see section 10 of the doc. Parts 2 (split capture stacks) and 3 (chained tickerplant) are not included. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Notes for review
appconfig/passwords/is the stock TorQ demo:passlist, same as the Finance Starter Pack ships. No real credentials.mkPviause`kx.pq.t, anduseis a kdb-x keyword.
