# A CLIP Unified Forge Artifact - Complete

**Forged:** 2025-12-14  
**Version:** v1.0 (MVP Complete)  
**Status:** MVP FORGED (sealing delegates to arifOS; if law engine unavailable => HOLD)  
**Repository:** arifOS @ `arifos_clip/`

---

## Summary

A CLIP (arifOS CLI Pipeline) has been forged within the arifOS repository. This is an MVP implementation of the constitutional command-line pipeline for decision governance, featuring 10 numeric commands (000-999) that enforce structured multi-stage review aligned with APEX Theory. Sealing authority is delegated to arifOS via the bridge; if the law engine is unavailable, 999 returns HOLD by design.

### 2. Pipeline Stages (000→999)

| Stage | Verb | Purpose | Exit Code |
|-------|------|---------|-----------|
| 000 | void | Initialize session from blank state | 40 (VOID) |
| 111 | sense | Gather context and facts | 0 (PASS) |
| 222 | reflect | Recall knowledge and background | 0 (PASS) |
| 333 | reason | Apply logical analysis | 0 (PASS) |
| 444 | evidence | Verify with data | 0 (PASS) |
| 555 | empathize | Consider stakeholder perspectives | 0 (PASS) |
| 666 | align | Check alignment with principles | 0 (PASS) |
| 777 | forge | Compile decision package | 20 (PARTIAL) |
| 888 | hold | Pause for review/issue | 88 (HOLD) |
| 999 | seal | Finalize (requires authority + arifOS SEAL) | 100 (SEALED) |

### 3. Console Scripts Integration

Added to `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[project.scripts]
"000" = "arifos_clip.aclip.cli._dispatcher000:main"
"111" = "arifos_clip.aclip.cli._dispatcher111:main"
# ... through ...
"999" = "arifos_clip.aclip.cli._dispatcher999:main"
```

### 4. Core Invariants (Enforced)

1. **No Silent Apply:** 999 seal requires `--apply` flag + authority token
2. **Two-Tier Approval:** Human token + arifOS SEAL verdict required (via bridge; arifOS absence/errors => HOLD)
3. **Hold Blocks Progress:** Unresolved holds prevent sealing and commits/pushes
4. **Delegation to arifOS:** No law logic duplication; all verdicts from arifOS
5. **Artifact Isolation:** All session data in `.arifos_clip/` directory

### 5. Artifacts Generated During Use

When A CLIP runs, it creates:
```
.arifos_clip/
├── session.json                    # Session state + full audit trail
├── forge/
│   └── forge.json                  # Compiled decision package
└── holds/                          # (If hold triggered)
    ├── hold.json                   # Machine-readable hold
    └── hold.md                     # Human-readable explanation
```

### 6. Git Hook Protection

Three hooks enforce governance:
- **pre-commit:** Blocks commits if hold exists
- **commit-msg:** Requires session sealed + "SEALED" in message
- **pre-push:** Blocks pushes without seal + artifacts

### 7. Exit Codes

- `0` PASS - Stage success
- `20` PARTIAL - Forged but not sealed
- `30` SABAR - Awaiting authority/time
- `40` VOID - Session initialized
- `88` HOLD - Issue detected, manual review needed
- `100` SEALED - Fully approved and finalized

---

## Installation & Usage

### Install Package
```bash
cd /path/to/arifOS
pip install -e .
```

This makes commands `000`, `111`, ..., `999` available globally.

### Basic Workflow
```bash
# 1. Initialize session
000 void "Implement feature X"

# 2. Progress through stages
111 sense
222 reflect
333 reason
444 evidence
555 empathize
666 align

# 3. Forge decision package
777 forge

# 4. (Optional) Apply hold if issue detected
888 hold --reason "Needs security review"

# 5. Seal when ready (requires authority)
999 seal --apply --authority-token YOUR_TOKEN
```

### Enable Git Hooks
```bash
cp arifos_clip/hooks/* .git/hooks/
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/pre-push
```

## Architecture Layers

**Layer A - Constitution Surface**
- AGENTS.md, commands/, agents/ - Governance definitions

**Layer B - Executors**
- aclip/cli/*.py - Stage implementations + dispatchers

**Layer C - Bridge**
- aclip/bridge/*.py - Interface to arifOS law engine

**Layer D - Enforcement**
- hooks/ - Git-based enforcement
- Internal checks in 999_seal.py

**Layer E - Decision Artifacts**
- .arifos_clip/ - Session state, forge pack, holds

**Layer F - Proof**
- tests/ - Automated validation

---

## Testing

Run the MVP test suite:
```bash
python arifos_clip/tests/test_mvp_flow.py
```

Or with pytest:
```bash
pytest arifos_clip/tests/ -v
```

---

## Key Design Decisions

1. **Numeric Commands:** Commands are numeric (000-999) but Python modules use `_dispatcherNNN.py` pattern to avoid module naming conflicts
2. **Session-Based:** All state tracked in session.json with full audit trail
3. **No LLM Logic:** A CLIP orchestrates; arifOS governs. Clean separation.
4. **Git Integration:** Hooks enforce governance at repository level
5. **Reversible:** All operations reversible via git (F1 Amanah compliance)

---

## Constitutional Compliance

 - **F1 Amanah:** All operations reversible via git  
 - **F2 Truth:** Session provides full audit trail  
 - **F4 DeltaS:** Structured stages reduce confusion  
 - **F5 Peace2:** Non-destructive by default (requires --apply)  
 - **F7 Omega0:** System states its limitations (e.g., "arifOS not available")  

**Delegation to arifOS:** F3, F6, F8, F9 evaluated by arifOS law engine via bridge

---

## Next Steps

1. **Test the Installation:**
   ```bash
   pip install -e .
   000 --help
   ```

2. **Enable Hooks (Optional):**
   ```bash
   cp arifos_clip/hooks/* .git/hooks/
   chmod +x .git/hooks/*
   ```

3. **Run First Pipeline:**
   ```bash
   000 void "Test A CLIP workflow"
   111 sense
   # ... continue through stages
   ```

4. **Integration with arifOS:**
   - Implement `arifos.evaluate_session()` for verdict generation
   - Connect to APEX_PRIME for floor evaluation
   - Link to Memory Write Policy Engine for EUREKA compliance
