+# Track 2 Rust Plan
+
+Updated: 2026-04-11
+
+## Purpose
+
+This note defines the initial Rust entry point for Track 2 in `renunney`.
+
+Track 2 is not a line-by-line translation of Nunney's published threshold
+heuristic. It is the modern path: explicit threshold definitions, clearer
+simulation contracts, and a performant kernel.
+
+## Why Rust
+
+Rust is the preferred Track 2 kernel language because it directly addresses the
+main engineering problems revealed by Track 1:
+
+- heavy repeated stochastic simulation,
+- threshold sweeps over many independent jobs,
+- need for clear data structures and reproducible binaries,
+- and a likely future need for Python bindings or service backends.
+
+## Initial Scope
+
+The first Rust step is intentionally narrow:
+
+- create a Rust workspace,
+- define a Track 2 core crate,
+- and encode threshold-centered abstractions rather than immediately porting
+  the entire biological simulator.
+
+This is the correct order because Track 2 should start from a clean statement
+of what is being estimated.
+
+## Current Crate
+
+The initial crate is:
+
+- `rust/track2-core`
+
+Current contents:
+
+- `ExtinctionCount`
+- `ThresholdPoint`
+- `ThresholdBracket`
+- `ThresholdEstimate`
+- `bracket_threshold(...)`
+- `midpoint_threshold(...)`
+
+These are placeholders for a modern threshold-estimation path where:
+
+- extinction probability is explicit,
+- bracketing is explicit,
+- and the estimator is separate from the simulation kernel.
+
+## Next Rust Steps
+
+1. Add a simulation-state model for Track 2.
+2. Add a trait or function contract for producing extinction probabilities from
+   repeated stochastic runs.
+3. Add a threshold search strategy that consumes those estimates.
+4. Add serialization-friendly input/output structs for orchestration.
+5. Only then start porting heavy simulation loops from Python.
+
+## Operational Targets
+
+The repo Makefile should treat Rust as a first-class build/test surface:
+
+- `make rust-test`
+- `make rust-check`
+
+That keeps Track 2 visible in daily workflow from the start.
