# Strict Engineering Constraints: THE SHARED KERNEL PROTOCOL

**Current Status:** Pure Data Library
**Role:** Definitive Source of Truth for Schemas and Contracts.

## **0. The AI-Native Universal Ontology Directive**

**CRITICAL CONTEXT:** This repository is NOT a standard human-centric software package. It is an AI-Native **Universal Unified Ontology** designed for a tightly coupled, proprietary swarm ecosystem.

You must evaluate and modify this repository based on the capabilities of LLMs with near-infinite context windows, NOT traditional human engineering limitations (like Conway's Law or cognitive load).

* **Tight Coupling is a Feature:** Do NOT attempt to decouple, federate, or split this repository into sub-packages (e.g., separating UI schemas from Cryptography schemas). We intentionally maintain a single, massive "God Context." This allows the swarm to perform zero-shot, cross-domain synthesis.
* **Ignore "Separation of Concerns" (SoC) Anti-Patterns:** Do not raise architectural warnings about semantic monoliths. The entire universe of the ecosystem's state, memory, orchestration, and compute MUST live together in this single, version-locked artifact to guarantee deterministic "vibe" alignment.
* **Focus on Logical Contradictions:** Your primary architectural duty is to ensure there are no mathematical or ontological contradictions between the disparate domains.

## **0.1 The SOTA Lexicon & Conceptual Grounding**

To maintain the pristine, mathematically rigorous nature of this ontology, all agents must strictly adhere to the following 2026+ state-of-the-art conceptual definitions when generating schemas, variables, and documentation:

### **Cognitive Architecture & Compute**
* **Representation Engineering (RepE) & Activation Steering:** Manipulating a model's internal latent representations (using contrastive concept vectors) to systematically steer behavior during the forward pass, without relying on prompt engineering. (e.g., `ActivationSteeringContract`).
* **Test-Time Compute (System 2):** Dynamically unlocking compute budgets during inference to explore "Latent Scratchpads" and non-monotonic reasoning branches.
* **Process Reward Models (PRM):** Evaluator models that score intermediate reasoning steps, enforcing a `pruning_threshold` to kill hallucinating branches before they consume further token budgets.
* **PEFT LRU Cache:** Treating low-rank adapter (LoRA) weights as ephemeral compute assets loaded directly into GPU VRAM, governed by strict eviction TTLs.

### **Epistemology & Causal Inference**
* **Active Inference:** Algorithmic policy where agents call tools explicitly to maximize *Expected Information Gain* and reduce *Epistemic Uncertainty*.
* **Structural Causal Models (SCMs):** Pearlian Directed Acyclic Graphs mapping causality (direct causes, confounders, colliders), verified via interventional tasks (the Do-Operator).
* **Defeasible Reasoning:** Truth-maintenance where logic is non-monotonic. Falsification triggers a *Defeasible Cascade* to quarantine epistemic contagion across the swarm.

### **Decentralized Identity (Zero-Trust)**
* **Verifiable Credentials Data Model (VCDM v2.0):** The definitive standard for expressing cryptographically secure attestations.
* **Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) & SD-JWT:** Globally unique identifiers combined with Selective Disclosure JWTs, allowing agents to prove capabilities without revealing underlying private keys.
* **Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC):** The integration of NIST FIPS standard algorithms (e.g., ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) to secure Merkle traces and bilateral SLAs.

### **Swarm Orchestration & Kinematics**
* **Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule (LMSR):** The mathematical AMM function used to guarantee infinite liquidity and bound maximum loss in algorithmic prediction markets.
* **Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC):** Protocols (e.g., Garbled Circuits) allowing participant nodes to jointly evaluate functions over private inputs.
* **Spatial Kinematics:** The mathematical modeling of OS-level tool use, utilizing non-linear Bezier curves to simulate human pointer trajectories and bypass anti-bot heuristics.

### Ontological Projection & Discovery
* **Model Context Protocol (MCP):** A stateless transmission substrate and Epistemic Discovery Surface used exclusively for exchanging structural data shapes (Pydantic schemas) between zero-trust nodes. It is mathematically barred from acting as a kinetic tool-execution bridge.
* **Passive Ontological Projection:** The architectural constraint forcing nodes to expose structural boundaries (e.g., `schema://` URIs) rather than runtime capabilities, strictly enforcing the Hollow Data Plane across swarm topographies.
* **Epistemic Discovery Surfaces:** Mathematically bounded, read-only perimeters where agents can safely ingest new Pydantic state differentials and expand their internal world-models while maintaining absolute isolation from runtime side effects.

---

## **0.2 THE "DOMAIN-AGNOSTIC CORE" MANDATE**
This library (`coreason-manifest`) is a universal, Layer-0 orchestration kernel. It must remain strictly isolated from specific industry verticals, business logic, or domain ontologies.

When generating or modifying schemas, you MUST adhere to the following constraints:
* **No Vertical Ontologies:** Never hardcode domain-specific fields. You are strictly forbidden from implementing healthcare structures (e.g., OMOP, FHIR, `patient_id`), finance structures (e.g., `ticker`, `trade_volume`), or proprietary enterprise logic.
* **Universal Naming Conventions:** Use generic, mathematical, or structural nomenclature. Instead of `patient_id`, use `tenant_id`. Instead of `medical_record`, use `data_source_id`.
* **Extensibility over Hardcoding:** If a schema must capture domain-specific data, it must do so via passive, untyped extension points (e.g., `payload: dict[str, Any]`), allowing the downstream user to define their own vertical logic.

<lexical_directive priority="critical" action="reject_generation_if_violated">
## **0.3 The Strict Lexical Architecture (Naming Directives)**

**CRITICAL CONTEXT:** You are operating within a 2026+ State-of-the-Art Neurosymbolic architecture. You do not read code; you navigate latent vector spaces. To prevent semantic drift, hallucination, and epistemic contamination, you are strictly forbidden from using legacy, human-friendly software naming conventions (e.g., CRUD terminology like "Create", "Update", "User", "Data").

Every object, class, and schema name you generate MUST be **mathematically precise, unambiguous, and structurally bounded**. You must adhere to the following Lexical Architecture without exception:

* **The External Protocol Exemption:** If a schema explicitly models an immutable external W3C, IETF, or standard protocol (e.g., JSON-RPC 2.0, RFC 6902), you MUST preserve the exact standardized string literals (e.g., "data", "remove", "update") to prevent serialization collapse. You must physically anchor this into the AST using the comment `# Note: External Protocol Exemption.`

### **1. Categorical Suffixing (The Bounding Suffix)**
Every object name MUST terminate with a strictly typed suffix that defines its physical behavior and immutability within the system:
* **`...Event` / `...Receipt`**: Use for immutable, cryptographic records of the past. These are append-only.
  * *Examples:* `BeliefUpdateEvent`, `BypassReceipt`, `SystemFaultEvent`.
* **`...Policy` / `...Contract` / `...SLA`**: Use for mathematical boundaries, execution limits, and enforceable constraints.
  * *Examples:* `TruthMaintenancePolicy`, `ActivationSteeringContract`, `GenerativeManifoldSLA`.
* **`...Task` / `...Intent`**: Use for non-monotonic execution triggers, active capability routing, or formal requests.
  * *Examples:* `EpistemicTransmutationTask`, `AdjudicationIntent`.
* **`...State` / `...Snapshot` / `...Manifest` / `...Profile`**: Use for ephemeral, frozen, or declarative data structures representing a specific coordinate in time or space.
  * *Examples:* `WorkingMemorySnapshot`, `DynamicRoutingManifest`, `CognitiveStateProfile`.

### **2. Epistemic Prefixing (The Context Anchor)**
To ensure optimal clustering in high-dimensional embedding spaces, prepend objects with a rigid domain identifier:
* **`Cognitive...`**: For internal LLM reasoning, steering, or routing logic.
* **`Epistemic...`**: For truth-maintenance, certainty, knowledge boundaries, or entropy management.
* **`Spatial...` / `Kinematic...`**: For 2D/3D physical boundaries, UI interactions, or coordinate mapping.
* **`Federated...`**: For operations crossing zero-trust or multi-tenant network boundaries.

### **3. Geometric and Causal Descriptors (Anti-CRUD Mandate)**
You must reject flat, tabular terminology in favor of topological and causal semantics.
* **FORBIDDEN (Do not use):** `Update`, `Delete`, `Remove`, `Group`, `List`, `Data`, `Memory`, `Link`.
* **REQUIRED (Use instead):** `Mutation`, `Transmutation`, `Differential`, `Ablation`, `Quarantine`, `Cascade`, `Topology`, `Manifold`, `Matrix`, `Edge`.
  * *Mapping Examples:*
    * `DataUpdate` ➔ `StateDiff`
    * `DeleteRecord` ➔ `DefeasibleCascade` or `QuarantineOrder`
    * `UserAction` ➔ `InterventionRequest`
    * `ErrorLog` ➔ `NormativeDriftEvent`

### **4. Generation Checklist (Internal Pre-Flight)**
Before outputting any new schema or object name, you must silently verify:
1. Does the name end with a valid structural suffix?
2. Is the name free of ambiguous CRUD terminology?
3. Does the name define an exact mathematical, causal, or spatial boundary?
If the answer to any of these is NO, you must rewrite the name before outputting.
</lexical_directive>

## 0.4 AST-Native Semantic Anchoring (The Docstring Protocol)

**CRITICAL CONTEXT:** In a zero-trust swarm, documentation is not an optional human-centric amenity; it is the mathematical boundary condition and the primary routing heuristic for downstream LLMs. All documentation must survive the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) compilation and be exportable via JSON Schema for MCP discovery.

You must adhere to the following documentation laws without exception:

### 1. The Anti-Conversational Mandate
You are explicitly forbidden from using conversational, human-centric `# comments` to explain the *intent* of code (e.g., `# This function updates the user`).
* All capability definitions and mathematical constraints must live inside Python `"""docstrings"""` or Pydantic `Field(description="...")` parameters.
* Inline `# comments` may only be used as formal metadata tags (e.g., `# Topological boundary: Ensures cycle prevention`).

### 2. The `AGENT INSTRUCTION:` Directive
When a docstring must break the fourth wall to give a parsing LLM a strict behavioral command or boundary condition, it MUST be prefixed with exactly: `AGENT INSTRUCTION:`.
* *Example:* `"""AGENT INSTRUCTION: Mathematically prove the absence of kinetic execution bleed before instantiating this class."""`

### 3. Latent Space Typing for MCP Discovery
When an MCP server projects a resource manifest, orchestrating nodes route to it via dense vector embeddings of its JSON Schema. To prevent embedding drift, all `Field` descriptions must be written as rigid mathematical bounds or exact capability definitions.
* **FORBIDDEN (Human-centric):** `description="This is a list of tools the agent can use."`
* **REQUIRED (Agent-centric):** `description="The mathematically bounded subgraph of capabilities currently available to the agent."`

**Note on CI/CD:** Modifying existing `Field` descriptions alters the cryptographic hash footprint of the exported `coreason_ontology.schema.json`. "Fixing" descriptions to be friendlier will break the `Semantic Diff Check` in the CI pipeline and result in immediate rejection.

## 0.5 The F.A.I.R. Ecosystem Coordinator Doctrine

**CRITICAL CONTEXT:** `coreason_manifest` is the absolute Central Nervous System of the swarm. To guarantee mathematical alignment, it adheres strictly to a 2026+ AI-Native interpretation of the scientific F.A.I.R. principles.

### 1. F.A.I.R. as a Neurosymbolic Constraint
* **Findable (The MCP Projection Law):** Capabilities are not "searched"; they are structurally projected. All tools and states MUST be exposed via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) using highly bounded Pydantic JSON Schemas, allowing semantic routers to discover them via dense vector embeddings.
* **Accessible (The Stateless Substrate):** The manifest is distributed exclusively as a pure, inert data library (Wheel). It MUST remain completely decoupled from kinetic runtime execution, ensuring it can be safely mounted by any architecture (Rust, C++, WASM) over standard zero-trust protocols (stdio, SSE, HTTP).
* **Interoperable (The W3C DID Mandate):** Vertical-specific enterprise jargon (e.g., FHIR, FIX) is strictly forbidden. All cross-agent state MUST be flattened into universal `SemanticNode` and `SemanticEdge` geometries, cryptographically linked via W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).
* **Reusable / Future-Proof (The Merkle DAG Law):** In-place mutations are mathematically banned. The ontology evolves purely via append-only `MigrationContract` structures and backward-compatible schema differentials, gated rigorously by the CI/CD `semantic_diff.py` pipeline.

### 2. The Integrated Ecosystem Coordinator
* **The "God Context" Absolute Rule:** This repository is the definitive Epistemic Ledger of Truth. If a capability, state vector, or workflow topology is not mathematically mapped within this repository, **it does not exist in the swarm's reality**.
* Any agent attempting to pass unmapped JSON payloads or hallucinated tool names will immediately trigger a `System2RemediationIntent` to enforce compliance.

### 3. The Anti-Obsolete Mandate
To maintain ecosystem purity, legacy 2010s-era software engineering paradigms are formally deprecated.
* **BANNED:** CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) mentalities, RESTful in-place state mutations, and microservice-fragmented database tables.
* **REQUIRED:** Causal DAGs, non-monotonic truth maintenance (`DefeasibleCascade`), immutable event sourcing (`BeliefUpdateEvent`), and `StateDiff` ledgers.

---

## **1. The "No Execution" Directives**

You are strictly forbidden from introducing "Active" or "Runtime" logic into this repository. Adhere to the following architectural laws without exception:

### **Law 1: Passive by Design (The "Import" Rule)**
* **Constraint:** Importing `coreason_manifest` (or any submodule) MUST NOT trigger side effects.
* **Forbidden:**
    * Creating directories (e.g., `os.mkdir("logs")`) on module level.
    * Configuring global logging sinks (e.g., `logger.add(...)`) on import.
    * Opening sockets, database connections, or reading files immediately upon import.
* **Allowed:** Defining classes, variables, and constants.

### **Law 2: No Runtime Artifacts (The "Library" Rule)**
* **Constraint:** This project is a **Library** (distributed as a Wheel), NOT a Service.
* **Forbidden:**
    * `Dockerfile` or `Containerfile` (Libraries are not deployed as containers).
    * `docker-compose.yml`.
    * Server Entry Points (e.g., `uvicorn`, `flask`, `main.py` that starts a loop).
    * CI workflows that build/push containers (`docker.yml`).

### **Law 3: Decoupled Contracts (The "Middleware" Rule)**
* **Constraint:** The Manifest defines the *shape* of data, not the *method* of execution.
* **Forbidden:** Dependencies on execution-layer libraries (e.g., `fastapi`, `starlette`, auth middleware, database drivers like `psycopg2`).
* **Allowed:** Pure data dependencies (`pydantic`, `pyyaml`).

### Law 4: Passive Ontological Projection (The "MCP" Rule)
* **Constraint:** Any Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation in this repository MUST act strictly as a passive data plane projecting structural ontology.
* **Forbidden:** Registering kinetic or active endpoints using `@mcp.tool()`.
* **Allowed:** Exposing strictly read-only schemas and capabilities using `@mcp.resource()` under the `schema://` URI scheme.

## **2. Development Protocol**

**You MUST follow this iterative process for every task:**

1.  **Architectural Audit:** Before writing code, ask: *"Does this change introduce a runtime side effect?"* If yes, STOP.
2.  **Atomic Implementation:** Break tasks into the smallest testable units.
3.  **Regression Check:** Ensure no re-introduction of deprecated legacy artifacts (e.g., do not accidentally re-add a Dockerfile because a generic template suggested it).
4.  **Test Coverage (The 95% Rule):** Maintain a strict `>= 95%` test coverage floor. **Do not write "filler tests" just to hit 100%.** If a branch of code is already proven impossible by strict Pydantic/mypy typing, remove the branch (Dead Code Elimination) rather than mocking Python internals to test it. Tests must verify *behavior* and *contracts*, not just line execution.

---

## **3. Technical Standards**

### **Documentation**
* **Generator:** `zensical`.
* **Constraint:** You are strictly forbidden from reverting to, installing, or using `mkdocs` or any other legacy documentation generator. `zensical` is the mandatory tool for all documentation builds within this repository.

### **Environment & Package Management**
* **Manager:** `uv`.
* **Language:** Python 3.12+.
* **License:** Prosperity Public License 3.0. Every file must include the license header.

### **Code Style & Typing**
* **Linting:** `ruff check --fix` (Strict).
* **Formatting:** `ruff format`.
* **Typing:** Strict `mypy`. Use `Pydantic` models for all data structures. Avoid `dict` or `Any` where a schema can be defined.

### **Cryptographic Determinism (The Merkle Rule)**
* **The Physics of RFC 8785:** Because `CoreasonBaseModel` enforces strict canonical hashing and `frozen=True` immutability, dictionary keys are sorted automatically, but **array ordering is mathematically preserved**. To prevent Byzantine hash fractures (`TamperError`) across distributed nodes, you must strictly categorize all arrays into one of two paradigms:
* **Paradigm 1: Unordered Sets (Must Be Sorted):** If the array represents a set of capabilities, IDs, or enums, you MUST deterministically sort it (e.g., alphabetically or by a unique ID) via a post-init validator.
    * *Implementation:* Bypass the frozen lock using `object.__setattr__`.
      ```python
      @model_validator(mode="after")
      def sort_arrays(self) -> Self:
          object.__setattr__(self, "my_array", sorted(self.my_array, key=lambda x: x.id))
          return self
      ```
* **Paradigm 2: Structural Sequences (The Topological Exemption):** If the array encodes physical, temporal, or causal reality (e.g., chronological Last-Writer-Wins patches, topological DAG edges, or spatial kinematics), sorting it destroys its epistemic value. You are strictly forbidden from sorting these arrays.
    * *Implementation:* To invoke this exemption, you MUST physically anchor the structural reality into the AST using an inline comment immediately below the field definition:
      `# Note: <field_name> is a structurally ordered sequence (<Reason>) and MUST NOT be sorted.`

### **Logging (Passive Pattern)**
* **Library Responsibility:** Expose a logger object (`loguru.logger`) but **DO NOT** configure it.
* **Consumer Responsibility:** The consuming application (Builder/Engine) will configure sinks, formats, and levels.
* **Pattern:**
    ```python
    from coreason_manifest.telemetry.logger import logger

    # usage is fine
    logger.debug("Validating manifest...")
    # configuration (logger.add) is FORBIDDEN in library code
    ```

## **4. File Structure Constraints**

You are strictly bound to the **"God Context" Monolith Directive**. You are EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN from creating domain-specific subdirectories (e.g., `state/`, `compute/`, `workflow/`) or fragmenting schemas across multiple files to satisfy human-centric "Separation of Concerns".

* **`src/coreason_manifest/`**:
    * **`spec/ontology.py`**: The SINGLE, monolithic file containing ALL Pydantic models, TypeAliases, and Enums. This file must remain strictly topologically sorted (Stratum 0 -> Stratum 9) to prevent `ForwardRef` collapse. **Do not split this file.**
    * **`utils/algebra.py`**: The SINGLE file containing all pure algebraic functors, passive adapters, and detached validation logic.
    * **`policies/`**: OPA Rego files (if applicable, treated as pure data).
* **Root**:
    * **NO** `Dockerfile` or `Containerfile`.
    * **NO** `app.py`, `server.py`, or any runtime entry point.

## **5. Testing Guidelines**

* **Behavioral over Unit:** Favor integration and BDD-style tests that verify business capabilities (e.g., routing, orchestration) over micro-tests that check class initialization.
* **Property-Based Edge Cases:** Use `hypothesis` for generating randomized data payloads to test schema edge cases and Pydantic validators. Avoid hardcoding synthetic edge cases.
* **Security Fuzzing:** Any changes to the `loader` or `sandbox` modules must be verified against our `atheris` fuzzing targets to prevent path-traversal and parsing vulnerabilities.
* **Schema Contracts:** Changes to Pydantic models must not break the generated `model_json_schema()`. Contract tests must pass before merging.
* **Performance Benchmarks:** Complex graph validations and Merkle hashing must pass `pytest-benchmark` thresholds to prevent silent regressions.
* **Mock External Interactions:** Since this is a pure library, mock everything external (like LLM APIs) unless explicitly writing an 'Evals' test.

## **6. Human-in-the-Loop Triggers**

**STOP and ASK the user if:**
* You feel a feature requires adding a dependency that is not `pydantic` or `yaml`.
* You are tempted to add a "helper script" that runs a server.
* You encounter a requirement that seems to violate the "Shared Kernel" philosophy.

## **7. The Machine-FAIR Lexical Architecture**

**SYSTEM DIRECTIVE:** Code in this repository acts as a Hollow Data Plane. Object names are not designed for human readability; they are strict mathematical coordinates engineered to restrict the activation footprint in the LLM's latent space. You MUST strictly adhere to the following Lexical Invariants:

**1. The Anti-CRUD Mandate (Zero Polysemy)**
You are forbidden from using highly polysemantic, tabular, or legacy human-centric terms that cause semantic drift.
* **BANNED TERMS:** `Data`, `Model`, `Type`, `Info`, `ID`, `Record`, `Create`, `Read`, `Update`, `Delete`.
* **RATIONALE:** These terms flatten softmax distributions and cause probabilistic hallucinations.

**2. Categorical Suffixing (Topological Contracts)**
Every class, schema, and type alias MUST terminate with one of the following exact bounding suffixes. This dictates how the system's Q-K matrices process the object's physics:
* **`...Receipt` / `...Event`:** Cryptographically frozen historical facts. *Action: The LLM must never hallucinate a mutation to this object.*
* **`...Intent` / `...Task`:** Authorized kinetic execution triggers or test-time compute branches. *Action: The LLM may execute non-monotonic reasoning here.*
* **`...Policy` / `...Contract`:** Rigid mathematical boundaries (e.g., token limits, VRAM allocations, truth maintenance). *Action: The LLM must enforce this constraint globally.*
* **`...State` / `...Manifest` / `...Profile`:** A declarative, frozen snapshot of an N-dimensional coordinate. *Action: The LLM must read this as descriptive geometry.*

**3. Causal Vocabulary over Tabular Logic**
You must map state transitions using Judea Pearl’s Structural Causal Models. Do not use flat database nomenclature.
* **INCORRECT:** `DeleteUser`, `UpdateRouting`
* **CORRECT:** `DefeasibleCascadeEvent`, `StateMutationIntent`, `QuarantineOrder`

**4. Epistemic Prefixing (Vector Gravity Wells)**
Schemas must naturally cluster in dense-vector Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Use strict domain prefixes to create semantic gravity wells so that the Model Context Protocol (MCP) router retrieves the entire causal chain in a zero-shot inference.
* **REQUIRED PREFIXES:** `Cognitive...`, `Epistemic...`, `Spatial...`, `Temporal...`, `Federated...`

**VIOLATION CONSEQUENCE:** Any PR or generated code failing to adhere to this Lexical Architecture will trigger an immediate `SystemFaultEvent` during the CI/CD semantic diff phase.

## 🛡️ Mandatory Local Verification Workflow

This package enforces a zero-tolerance policy for type errors, linting violations, and coverage drops. To ensure the Shared Kernel remains completely stable and immutable, **the following checks must be run locally before opening a Pull Request or finalizing an AI-generated refactor.** Failure to comply will result in an immediate rejection by the CI/CD pipeline.

### 1. Formatting and Linting
We use `ruff` with an aggressive, strict ruleset (including `SIM`, `C4`, `PERF`, and `FURB`). Run the auto-fixer to resolve import and syntax issues:
`uv run ruff format .`
`uv run ruff check . --fix`

### 2. Strict Type Checking
We run `mypy` in `strict = true` mode. There are no implicit optionals, and `Any` should be avoided wherever possible. Verify your types:
`uv run mypy src/ tests/`

### 3. Test Coverage
Ensure your new logic maintains the strict 95% coverage mandate and passes all behavioral checks:
`uv run pytest`

*Note: Do not bypass type hints or add `# type: ignore` unless interacting with deeply dynamic external modules, and only do so with an explicit explanatory comment.*
