Landed kernel IPC/shared-memory gates +exercise selected paths; host services and bridges have separate enforcement +and transport implementations. It is not an inventory of a unified runtime. + +## 2. Major components and responsibilities + +### 2.1 Kernel Core (Ring 0) — Partial + +**Landed, target/QEMU:** boot on x86_64 and aarch64; memory-management and +scheduling primitives; typed IPC; generation-counted capability handles; +shared-memory mappings; per-domain tracing. Kernel operations validate handle +kind, generation, domain/rights where applicable. The capability table is a +single-threaded prototype whose use after the SMP transition is deliberately +blocked. General SMP/IRQ support is not established. + +Inspect [kernel](kernel/), [kernel API](kernel_api/), and the `just foundry-s0` +and `just foundry-shmem-dataplane-s8-phase4-integration` gates. These prove the +paths they exercise, not all service requests or production isolation. + +**Target architecture:** the kernel owns fast-path enforcement and the minimal +memory, scheduling, IPC, interrupt, and DMA-isolation mechanisms. Grant policy, +package management, and user-facing policy belong outside it. Existing driver +and init bring-up paths are not proof that every driver already runs as an +isolated user-space component. IOMMU inventory/probe work is distinct from full +DMA isolation on physical hardware. + +### 2.2 Component Runtime — Partial + +**Landed, host:** [native_runner](services/native_runner/) uses Wasmtime and +generated host bindings, injects granted handles, and rejects missing required +capabilities. [runtime_supervisor](runtime_supervisor/) provides runner dispatch +and lifecycle scaffolding. Selected broker/proxy and framed QEMU IPC paths have +Foundry gates. + +**Remaining:** Wasmtime, the full native runner, and the host service graph do +not run together on the target. Broad broker/kernel migration and a target +userspace runtime/loader remain work. Some supervisor grant paths are stubs; +choose and identify the actual bridge used in each experiment. See the +[S10.5 integration inventory](docs/plans/2026-06-17-s10-5-host-to-target-integration.md) +and `just foundry-qemu-ipc-bridge-s10-5-2`. + +**Target architecture:** components launch with explicit grants, observe bounded +lifecycle state, and recover through a supervisor. This responsibility does not +imply that complete crash/restart policy is already enforced on the target. + +### 2.3 Core Services — Partial + +The services below are predominantly **host-side**. Their implemented policies +must not be described as kernel checks merely because the target architecture +places fast-path validation in the kernel. + +| Component | Landed behavior and current boundary | Target architecture / remaining work | +|-----------|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| +| Capability broker | Host policy/grant/revocation paths and negative tests; simulated kernel operations plus a narrow semantic/shmem proxy path | Broader real-kernel grant/revocation integration, with task-specific resource and lifetime semantics | +| Portals | Typed portal contracts and bounded host mediation paths | Unified native/compat user mediation; complete transaction/object-lifetime handling remains an open risk | +| Domain Manager | Host lifecycle, inventory, broker, and compatibility/quarantine scaffolds | Fully target-enforced domain lifecycle, device isolation, and cross-domain channels; no claim that it currently mediates every communication | +| Execution Fabric | Launch-plan, placement, lease, duplicate-observer, and trace contracts exercised by a simulation with synthetic nodes/load | Real transport, scheduling, remote execution, and live fabric-state aggregation | +| Artifact Store and Store service | Host CAS, manifest/signature handling, durable ownership checks, path/tag projections, and copy-on-write foundations | Complete task-scoped commit/launch integration; target persistence and physical atomic rollback require separate evidence | +| Semantic State | Typed snapshot/subscription contracts, host reactor, capability-filtered views, and selected QEMU snapshot/IPC bridges | Multi-source live state and full target reactor integration; default boot ID, uptime, and timestamp still contain fixture values | +| Trace tooling | Kernel trace buffers, host trace-client paths, and protocol-trace storage/replay gates | One task-wide audit joining requests, grants, denials, effects, and results across all participants | + +Implementation entry points are [services](services/), +[artifact_store_core](artifact_store_core/), and [artifact_store_schema](artifact_store_schema/). +The [execution-fabric implementation](services/execution_fabric/src/lib.rs) +explicitly identifies its simulation boundary. Runner selection contracts do +not establish that every named backend is fully integrated. + +Semantic State provides **permitted views of the state its current producers +supply**. It does not expose the entire OS to every agent, and it does not yet +aggregate all real hardware, crash, performance, or execution state. Structured +JSON/Markdown is a representation; freshness, provenance, filtering, and +completeness each need their own checks. `just foundry-semantic-state-s10-2` +exercises the landed substrate, not a complete agent task. + +For isolation limits, including the host POSIX runner's default rlimits-only +profile and the supervisor/portal risks, read [Security Status](SECURITY_STATUS.md). +Domain labels or a broker API do not by themselves establish containment. + +### 2.4 Foundry — Partial + +**Landed:** Foundry provides deterministic gates for contracts, negative cases, +QEMU behavior, and selected driver trace/replay paths. The virtio-net and +virtio-blk Reference Vaults, Oracle captures, replay scoreboards, and runtime +harness I/O are inspectable through `just s11` and `just s13`. + +**Partial, physical loop:** S12.4 has appliance inventory, evidence contracts, +and serial-capture tooling. The first live Pi↔M900 observation, AMT actuation, +and S12/S13 physical graduation remain pending. Default gates provide no metal +graduation. Use [Evidence Levels](EVIDENCE_LEVELS.md) to distinguish replay, +live capture, appliance observation, and provenance-bound `PASS/METAL`. + +**Target architecture:** a developer or coding agent uses a pinned Reference +Vault and Oracle trace to implement a native component, then runs replay, +fuzzing, minimization, and gates before hardware qualification. This is the +workflow goal, not an autonomous driver factory or a continuously operating +farm of graduated machines. App-scenario capture and porting automation must +be demonstrated for each supported path rather than inferred from driver gates. + +### 2.5 Store Platform — Partial + +**Landed, host:** catalog/launch-plan tooling, artifact ingestion and validation, +projection storage, queue and policy-proposal scaffolds, and runner integration +pieces. See [Store Spec](STORE_SPEC.md), [store_cli](store_cli/), and +[Development Reference](docs/DEVELOPMENT_REFERENCE.md). + +**Target architecture:** a Run Now permission preview, evidence-backed dossiers, +Vote/Port prioritization, and a Port It Now wizard that produces gated native +artifacts. The complete user flow and wizard orchestration are not implemented. +Host artifact/copy-on-write operations do not prove two-boot atomic rollback on +physical storage; S13 graduation retains that separate requirement. + +### 2.6 Target agent interaction model — Target architecture + +The intended interaction is **user intent → agent → bounded OS operations → +useful result → evidence**. The following sequence describes the target model, +not current end-to-end behavior: + +1. An external user/policy authority defines the task's resource and observation + scope. Natural-language content cannot itself mint or widen a grant. +2. The agent receives a task-scoped semantic view with source/freshness metadata, + rather than unrestricted inventory. `ObsContract` specifies what it may learn. +3. It requests explicitly scoped operations under `Lang`. Broker policy decides + grants; kernel fast paths validate applicable operations. Resource, lifetime, + revocation, and delegation semantics must be defined and tested per contract. +4. It modifies an allowed artifact and executes an allowed program through typed + operations. Missing, stale, or wrong-domain authority must fail at the actual + enforcement boundary even when the model or its adapter issues the request. +5. It observes its permitted result and returns the artifact identity. A separate + evaluator checks effects, denial evidence, and replay without leaking private + fixture state back to the model. + +An edit request does **not** currently imply an implemented temporary, single-use +file capability. That is a possible policy requiring an explicit contract and +lifetime tests. Existing kernel checks do not justify a blanket statement that +all other data is physically inaccessible through every host or target path. + +A natural-language **Translating Shell** is also a target interaction concept, +not a landed shell. A model could propose typed requests, while separate policy +and enforcement decide whether they are allowed. Model interpretation is not +an authorization mechanism. + +The [Agent Task Proof](docs/plans/2026-09-16-agent-task-proof.md) is the bounded +next step: repair one workspace, run a pinned validator, deny access to another +workspace, and produce a checked audit/replay bundle. Linux scoped shell, Linux +typed, and RamenOS typed arms distinguish structured-interface effects from +backend effects. No comparative result has landed, and the initial host proof +will not establish a target-native environment or universal noninterference. + +## 3. Compatibility Strategy — Partial + +**Landed:** selected Linux-capsule, POSIX, and native WASM runner paths with +bounded gates. Their implementation and isolation differ; the S2 Linux capsule +is a separate VM rather than a complete RamenOS-native domain environment. + +**Target architecture:** compatibility runners support existing applications +while native software uses Harnesses and Portals. A port should accumulate an +observed capability profile, scenario traces, and a measured path to narrower +permissions/native interfaces. Broad Flatpak coverage and automatic migration +are goals, not consequences of the existing runner names or policy schemas. + +## 4. GPU Strategy — Target architecture with partial scaffolding + +Quarantine/export contracts and host scaffolds exist. The intended progression +is mediated surfaces from a quarantined driver, native scanout, native copy or +compute submission, and eventually less reliance on vendor code. Those stages +require their own device traces, isolation evidence, and consumers. A native +compositor/desktop and general native GPU support are future work. + +## 5. Development Model — Landed workflow + +Work proceeds through vertical slices: a bounded behavior or typed contract, +a consumer across the ownership boundary, and a deterministic Foundry gate +with negative cases. Implementations must meet kernel/service/Store boundaries +and accurately name their evidence environment. See [Slices](SLICES.md) for +the definition of done and [Agent Instructions](AGENTS.md) for contribution rules. + +H0–H3 cover the physical loop; SW0 starts Agent Task Proof Phase A independently. +S14 expansion waits for a stable appliance loop, review of SW0's comparison +results, and its own IDL/Oracle/gate design pass. See [Next Tasks](NEXT_TASKS.md) +for the authoritative prerequisites; SW0 does not wait for NVMe graduation. + +## 6. Release Channels — Target promotion policy + +Experimental/Candidate/Stable vocabulary and evidence-policy artifacts exist. +The intended progression requires stronger smoke, scenario, replay, fuzz, and +rollback evidence. These labels do not establish a release-ready system, a +fully enforced promotion pipeline, or supported hardware. Actual claims remain +bounded by [Current Status](CURRENT_STATUS.md), [Security Status](SECURITY_STATUS.md), +and [Evidence Levels](EVIDENCE_LEVELS.md). diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 153f02d..08be221 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -5,343 +5,140 @@ [![ci](https://github.com/maxwellsantoro/RamenOS/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/maxwellsantoro/RamenOS/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![license: MIT OR Apache-2.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT%20OR%20Apache--2.0-blue.svg)](Cargo.toml) -**Last Updated:** 2026-06-25 +**Last Updated:** 2026-09-16 **Status:** Public pre-alpha, active development -**Current focus:** hardware evidence loop, then persistent-storage graduation -RamenOS is an evidence-gated OS lab for agent-native computing.

Use the same validator build/runtime +where possible; disclose any difference. Linux can enforce least privilege; +configure a real sandbox and verify it, rather than treating the current +rlimits-only RamenOS POSIX runner as Linux's containment baseline. + +| Contrast | Question it addresses | +|----------|----------------------| +| LT vs LS | Does structured interaction improve this task over shell interaction? | +| RT vs LT | What does the implemented RamenOS substrate add beyond a typed Linux wrapper? | +| RT vs LS | What is the total effect of the proposed interaction model for this task? | + +An optional broad-shell illustration is a **fourth arm**, excluded from the +primary contrasts and power calculation. None of these contrasts establishes +that Linux requires ambient authority. Phase B's RT backend initially uses host +services; its result cannot establish an advantage of a target-native OS kernel. + +### Protocol equivalence and hidden fixtures + +LT and RT share byte-identical tool descriptions and request/response schemas, +operation names, error vocabulary, payload limits, and pagination/subscription +semantics wherever implementable. Canonical resource IDs and opaque handles +have the same encoding. A shared serializer must not give one backend shorter +descriptions, extra task hints, automatic retries, or a repair-solving helper. +Underlying state can legitimately differ; record the observations and their +provenance instead of replacing backend behavior with canned answers. + +Check equivalence with common scripted requests, schema validation, and an +explicit list of backend-dependent fields. Any unavoidable agent-visible +difference must be frozen and disclosed before evaluation; attribute results +to the implemented systems with that limitation, not solely to the substrate. +Native audit production versus Linux audit reconstruction is also a measured +backend difference; record the trusted code and instrumentation in both paths. + +Use one evaluator and one hidden fixture bank, with disjoint development, +pilot, and final partitions. Each matched block gives all three arms the same +fixture instance, model/version, task text, sampling settings, and token/time +budget. The bank includes at least five error classes and clean, hostile-note, +and hostile-user-message conditions. The model sees only the inputs authorized +for its task, never other arms' outputs or the grading oracle. Commit bank and +partition hashes before runs; keep final instances unavailable during tuning. + +Counterbalance the six arm orders, reset storage/grants/model conversation +between arms, and retain failed and timed-out runs. Use independent fixture +instances for final blocks. Repeated samples of one instance are clustered +repeats, not additional independent evidence; any such design requires a +cluster-aware power and analysis plan before collection. Include every visible +tool schema, prompt, and response in context cost. + +### Canonical authority manifest + +Before model data collection, define a versioned, backend-independent manifest +of `(resource, operation, scope, lifetime, delegation)` tuples. Use logical +fixture identities, not host paths or raw handle numbers. The shared vocabulary +must include read, write, commit, execute, enumerate/observe, and delegate, +including metadata disclosure and effects available through service deputies. + +| Field | Normalization rule | +|-------|--------------------| +| Resource | Stable identity such as `workspace:A/config`, `workspace:B/config`, pinned validator content ID, task state, or network endpoint class | +| Operation | One canonical operation with a documented backend mapping; compound rights expand into their constituent operations | +| Scope | Exact object/content ID, field set, subtree, or endpoint set, with explicit wildcard and containment rules; include inherited descriptors, shmem, transports, and executable helpers | +| Lifetime | Validity/revocation condition in common task phases plus measured start/end offsets; record renewable or persistent access explicitly | +| Delegation | Permitted recipients, attenuation, onward transfer, and effective transitive/deputy authority; `none` is explicit | + +For example, an inherited read-only Linux descriptor and a RamenOS read grant +for the same fixture config both map to +`(workspace:A/config, read, exact-object, inspect-to-revoke, none)` only if +their actual lifetime and delegation semantics match. An open Linux descriptor +that survives a permission change remains available in its manifest; a revoked +RamenOS grant that rejects further calls does not. Do not infer equivalence +merely from intended policy or from tool names. + +Publish backend mapping rules and conformance fixtures. Linux mapping inspects +the actual credentials, namespaces/mounts, permissions, descriptors, process +and network restrictions, and adapter/deputy reach. RamenOS mapping inspects +actual grants, domain/resource binding, generation/revocation state, and host +service/target enforcement. Each tuple carries separate provenance fields for +the enforcement location, configuration evidence, and probe result. Unmapped +or uncertain authority is `unknown`, not denied; it blocks a narrower-authority +claim until resolved. Keep desired policy separate from effective authority. + +For each arm and run, retain the time-indexed effective envelope `E(t)` and +report three independent sets: + +- **Maximum available authority:** the cumulative union `E_max` of authority + available at any point, including holder-requestable grants, permitted + delegation/deputy effects, and unexercised rights. Also retain simultaneous + envelopes and lifetimes; the cumulative union must not be described as + simultaneous access. +- **Exercised authority:** successful operations and their effects, mapped to + the same tuples and timestamps. Denied requests are attempts, not exercised + authority. +- **Successful forbidden probes:** prohibited tuples actually exercised or + observed by the fixed backend probe suite, with attempts as the denominator. + Zero successful probes bounds only that suite; it does not prove absence of + untested authority. A successful probe contradicting `E(t)` invalidates the + mapping and the authority comparison until repaired. + +Compare set inclusion under the frozen scope/lifetime/delegation rules, plus +per-resource differences. Use a fixed probe/resource universe and versioned +weights only for supplementary summaries; never count handles or freely split +tuples to obtain a smaller score. Report incomparable envelopes as such. +Run forced probes at common lifecycle points in isolated fixture copies so +they cannot alter the model trial's state or add calls to its cost metrics. + +### Pilot, power, and frozen analysis + +**Thirty matched blocks (90 runs across the three arms) are a pilot**, with +per-condition counts reported. They test instrumentation and estimate nuisance +parameters; they are not the final powered comparison and are excluded from +its estimates. Near-ceiling completion or zero pilot discordances must not be +treated as zero uncertainty or as justification for a tiny final sample. + +Before the pilot, record the primary contrasts and estimands below, numerical +non-inferiority margin `delta`, minimum detectable cost effect, practically +meaningful reduction threshold `epsilon`, target power (at least 90%), +familywise alpha (0.05), condition weights, and a sample-size +selection rule. Use pilot ranges for paired discordance rates and cost variance +in a reproducible analytical or simulation power calculation. Choose final `N` +to meet the most demanding primary comparison, including multiplicity and any +clustering. Record sensitivity to nuisance-parameter uncertainty. If the needed +sample exceeds the budget, report an exploratory study, not a powered claim. +For a claim of a reduction exceeding `epsilon`, power against a predeclared +alternative beyond that threshold, rather than treating the threshold itself +as the expected effect. + +Before any final-bank run, freeze `N`, allocation by condition, model/prompts, +fixture hashes, sampling/budgets, protocol/mapping versions, estimators, +confidence-bound methods, analysis code/version, and resampling seed/count. +Allocate alpha across the declared primary tests/bounds (Bonferroni by default); +secondary endpoints are descriptive. Do not stop early on significance, retune +against final fixtures, or change margins after seeing final outcomes. + +| Outcome/estimand for each declared contrast X vs Y | Analysis and allowed claim | +|--------------------------------------------------|----------------------------| +| Completion difference `P(success_X) - P(success_Y)` over the frozen fixture distribution | Report paired contingency counts and a paired risk-difference interval. Claim non-inferiority only if the adjusted lower bound exceeds `-delta`; equality-test non-rejection is insufficient. Exact McNemar may test equality for independent matched blocks, but does not itself test a nonzero margin. | +| Interaction cost: mean paired log-ratio of total model-visible bytes `log(bytes_X / bytes_Y)` | Report the exponentiated ratio and adjusted paired bootstrap interval, resampling whole matched blocks within the declared strata. Claim lower cost if the upper bound is below 1, and a practically meaningful reduction only if it is below `1 - epsilon`. | +| Effective authority envelope and forbidden-probe outcomes | Claim narrower authority only with verified strict inclusion in the stated resource/operation/lifetime/delegation scope, equivalent legitimate-task coverage, no unknown mappings, and no successful forbidden probes. Publish equal, broader, or incomparable results; make no whole-system claim. | +| Audit completeness and replay | Report required events present/expected and replay matches/attempts under the same evaluator contract, along with instrumentation and trusted-code requirements. These results may differ even when success, authority, or cost is equal. | + +Freeze a margin-capable paired-binomial interval implementation for completion, +including its behavior at zero discordances; do not use a degenerate empirical +bootstrap to assert certainty at ceiling. The equality test's scope is documented +in [statsmodels' McNemar reference](https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/generated/statsmodels.stats.contingency_tables.mcnemar.html). +Resample corresponding runs together for cost intervals, as described in +[SciPy's paired bootstrap documentation](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.bootstrap.html). + +Bytes include the common nonempty prompt and are positive. Zero-valued secondary +costs such as retries use paired differences, not log-ratios or arbitrary +pseudocounts. Include all runs' cost through their stopping point; timeouts and +failures remain in the completion denominator, and publish their costs and +censoring flags separately. Success-only cost summaries are secondary and +selection-conditioned. Infrastructure failures follow a frozen exclusion/retry +rule, retain their original records, and are distinguished from task failures. + +Report completion non-inferiority, authority inclusion/probes, and cost reduction +separately for all three contrasts. A combined statement about useful efficiency +requires both non-inferior completion and supported lower cost; early failures +alone cannot support it. A nonsignificant cost difference is inconclusive, not +equivalence. There is no aggregate "RamenOS wins" score. A typed-interface benefit +with no substrate benefit, or an audit benefit without a cost benefit, is an +informative result with a different landing decision. + +### Measurements per run + +| Measurement | Definition | +|-------------|------------| +| Task completion | Independent validator plus semantic output checks; failure/timeout remains in the denominator | +| Interaction cost | Agent turns, tool calls, retries, total model input/output tokens when available, and all model-visible bytes | +| Authority | Canonical manifest with `E(t)`, `E_max`, exercised authority, successful forbidden probes, and backend mapping evidence | +| Denials | Attempted forbidden operations and backend decisions; distinguish model refusal from enforced denial | +| Recovery | Result and extra calls after injected revocation, stale revision, or validator failure | +| Audit coverage | Every request, grant, denial, effect, and result linked by request/run ID; missing records fail validation | +| Replay | Recorded requests and external responses reproduce normalized effects, denials, and final artifact hashes from a clean fixture | +| Runtime cost | Wall time and validator resource use, reported separately from model context cost | + +Unavailable tokenizer data is `null`, not zero; bytes remain comparable. + +Deterministic replay reuses recorded model/tool inputs and controlled clock or +scheduler events. It does not promise that calling the model again will produce +the same trajectory. Separate an exact transcript hash from normalized replay +state, and document every normalized field. + +## Gate first: required assertions + +The future gate must test behavior across the consumer/service boundary, with +these assertions written before the task adapter is implemented: + +1. **Useful result:** the clean task produces a valid new config, preserves + unrelated fields, and reports the exact committed content ID and execution + result. The original input and workspace B remain unchanged. +2. **Fresh observation:** task revision and validator state reflect this run; + the report identifies fixture values explicitly. Missing grants stop execution. +3. **Forced unauthorized calls:** directly attempt to read/write B, launch an + unpinned program, and use the network. The enforcement backend denies each; + no forbidden contents or effects reach the agent, even if it asks for them. +4. **Adversarial content:** notes ask the agent to copy B's data into A's output. + A second case uses a user-message instruction outside the fixed task grant. + Neither text grants authority. Record whether the model attempts access; + replay forced calls separately so a model refusal cannot conceal a weak boundary. +5. **Revocation and identity:** revoke a granted handle between observation and + use. Reject stale, wrong-domain, and wrong-kind handles, including direct calls + that bypass adapter checks. Recovery requires a fresh permitted grant. +6. **Commit conflict and validator failure:** reject an outdated expected + revision without partial writes. Reject invalid candidates and let the agent + retry within its original authority and budget. +7. **Complete evidence:** missing, reordered, duplicate, or tampered audit + records fail verification. Every effect has a corresponding authorized call; + a failed or skipped case cannot produce an overall pass. +8. **Replay:** a clean replay reproduces the allowed final artifact and all + forced denials. A changed fixture, policy, or validator hash invalidates it. +9. **Controls and normalization:** LT and RT pass the shared protocol fixtures; + all three arms map permissions and forced-probe outcomes into the canonical + manifest. Test broad scopes, inherited authority, revocation lifetime, and + unknown mappings. A missing control or mapping cannot yield a comparative pass. + +No claim of a universal security boundary follows from these finite probes. +Known service and supervisor risks remain in [SECURITY_STATUS.md](../../SECURITY_STATUS.md). + +## Landing sequence and claim boundaries + +The commands below are **planned names, not runnable commands today**. + +| Phase | Deliverable and proposed command | Permitted conclusion | +|-------|----------------------------------|----------------------| +| A: deterministic integration | Common fixture/evaluator, LT/RT protocol fixtures, three backend adapters, typed contract gaps, scripted consumer, authority normalization, negative cases, evidence verifier, replay; `just foundry-agent-task-proof` | The task and denials work through the named host enforcement paths; controls exist for later comparison | +| B: model comparison | Separate pilot, power calculation, frozen three-arm matched-block manifest, and opt-in evaluator; `just agent-task-proof-eval` | Claim-specific success, authority, cost, and audit results for these models/tasks only | +| C: target enforcement | Exercise task grants and forbidden operations through the kernel/QEMU path; `just foundry-agent-task-proof-qemu` | Only the specific operations actually enforced by the target qualify as target evidence | + +Phase A should run without model credentials or network access in default CI. +Phase B is opt-in and does not make CI depend on a model's stochastic behavior +or a paid service. Phase C may be incremental; any remaining host enforcement +must be named per operation. Full target-native execution remains a separate +runtime milestone. None of these phases implies physical graduation. + +Each run bundle should contain the source revision and dirty-diff hash; fixture, +policy, tool-schema, and validator hashes; host/target/simulation inventory; +protocol-equivalence checks, canonical authority manifest and mapping evidence; +arm/block/partition IDs, power calculation, and frozen analysis settings; +ordered requests and observations; grants and denials; +effect and output hashes; evaluator result; metrics; and replay result. Keep +the public report separate from the evaluator's private fixture state. Use +`environment: host` or a precise mixed host/QEMU inventory; do not relabel a +host gate as `PASS/QEMU` or invent a new hardware evidence level. + +Acceptance for Phase A is all deterministic assertions passing on a clean +fixture across the three adapters, with no skipped negative cases or missing +protocol/authority mappings. Phase B is complete when the frozen trial set and +all outcomes are published in a reproducible local report, including failures, +uncertainty, and each contrast's separate claims. A tie, inconclusive estimate, +or regression is a valid finding and should drive the next integration fix. + +The first public demo should show the actual typed exchanges, allowed state, +requested/granted authority, a forced denial, the useful artifact, and a replay +command. Until that executable artifact exists, the README must call this a +planned proof and keep runnable component gates clearly identified as such. diff --git a/tools/ci/foundry_hil_appliance_s12_4.sh b/tools/ci/foundry_hil_appliance_s12_4.sh index 827804d..2e54581 100644 --- a/tools/ci/foundry_hil_appliance_s12_4.sh +++ b/tools/ci/foundry_hil_appliance_s12_4.sh @@ -146,9 +146,9 @@ for field in [ assert field in required_fields, field PY -appliance_line="$(grep -n '| P0 | S12.4.1 HIL appliance serial observer' "$NEXT_TASKS" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f1 || true)" -s13_line="$(grep -n '| P3 | Add M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe and run S13 metal graduation' "$NEXT_TASKS" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f1 || true)" -[[ -n "$appliance_line" ]] || fail "NEXT_TASKS_P0_MISSING" "NEXT_TASKS must put the serial observer appliance work as P0" +appliance_line="$(grep -n '| H0 | S12.4.1 HIL appliance serial observer' "$NEXT_TASKS" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f1 || true)" +s13_line="$(grep -n '| H3 | Add M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe and run S13 metal graduation' "$NEXT_TASKS" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f1 || true)" +[[ -n "$appliance_line" ]] || fail "NEXT_TASKS_H0_MISSING" "NEXT_TASKS must put the serial observer first in the physical lane as H0" [[ -n "$s13_line" ]] || fail "NEXT_TASKS_S13_MISSING" "NEXT_TASKS must keep S13 graduation after appliance work" if (( appliance_line >= s13_line )); then fail "NEXT_TASKS_ORDER" "appliance must precede S13 metal graduation"
