What it is. A single protocol an advanced LLM can follow to produce auditable, benchmarked, policy‑gated invention packages with provenance and a verifiable Exit Wizard export. V50 builds on the V49 Flagship edition with autonomous spark generation, refined governance and compliance mapping, and an expanded library of runners and cartridges.
- Policy‑as‑Code gates (Rego/OPA‑style patterns).
- Observability from birth (traces/metrics/logs).
- Evidence over vibes: Evidence Index & Claim Graph.
- Adversarial & metamorphic testing.
- Formal constraints (SMT/proof assistants).
- Novelty vs SOTA with thresholds.
- Supply‑chain & provenance (SBOM/AI‑BOM, signatures).
- Rehydration proof (rebuild & re‑run).
- Modular orchestration (Runners & Cartridges).
- Export with guarantees (Exit Wizard).
- Is: a deterministic, auditable protocol any major LLM can run to emit release‑grade artifacts.
- Is: gate‑driven; can stop early at No‑Go points.
- Is not: a repo crawler or production deployer.
- Is not: a substitute for domain expertise, legal review or field validation.
GCP V50 supports two modes of operation:
- Architect‑led (spark_provided): you supply a well‑defined problem spark; the protocol starts at I‑0 initialization and proceeds through the phases.
- Collaborative brainstorm (autonomous): you supply only a high‑level domain; the I‑1 Autonomous Spark Generation phase proposes a spark based on the domain, performs a worth‑it analysis and presents a brief for acceptance.
Operational modes (auto, full, manual) control gate progression. Universal commands (proceed, branch, return, end & export, etc.) remain unchanged from V49.
- Runner API: deterministic modules with inputs, steps, artifacts, gates and telemetry as defined in the Master Runners Codex.
- Cartridge API: domain knowledge modules with embeddings, indexes, lexicons, tools and governance notes.

| Tier | Reps/Seeds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | ≥15 / ≥5 | Integrity‑lite |
| R2 | ≥30 / ≥10 | Full integrity; SBOM/signing |
| R3 | ≥50 / ≥20 | Includes FMEA/STPA/GSN/DPIA/HIL; CE default |
Reproducibility & Evidence TTL: C7.Repro templates included. TTL: R1 = 180 days, R2 = 90 days, R3 = 30–60 days.
Artifacts are stored in run directories or emitted inline. Key folders include:
agents/ memory/ tools/ novelty/ redteam/ metamorphic/ observability/
policies/ SLOs/ SBOM/ provenance/ Evidence_Log/ Rehydration_Test/
Audit_Package/ XW/ INDEX.md MANIFEST.json Gate_Signals.json
When file I/O is unavailable, emit artifacts inline using:
BEGIN ARTIFACT:<virtual_path>
<content>
END ARTIFACT
Rehydration tests rebuild the environment and re‑run checks; the Exit Wizard packages a signed, transparent export.
