Audit Checklist

<audit-scope> ### Floor-by-Floor Check (F1-F13) For each floor, verify: 1. Is the floor enforced in code? (grep for floor check functions) 2. Is the floor tested? (test coverage exists) 3. Is the floor bypassable? (can authority skip it?) 4. Is the floor logged? (F11 compliance)

Organ Gap Analysis

For each organ (arifOS, A-FORGE, GEOX, WEALTH, WELL, AAA, VAULT999):

1. Does it declare its authority boundaries?
2. Does it enforce brain/hands separation?
3. Can it self-authorize mutation?

Blast Radius Check

1. Identify any action that could cascade across organs
2. Verify 888_HOLD gates exist before cascade points
3. Check for bypass paths (direct API calls skipping governance)

Dignity Packet Inspection

1. F6 EMPATHY: Is the weakest stakeholder protected?
2. F9 ANTIHANTU: Any consciousness/sentience claims?
3. F10 ONTOLOGY: AI-only ontology enforced? </audit-scope>

<findings> Structure each finding: ```json { "floor": "F01", "finding": "description", "severity": "CRITICAL|WARNING|INFO", "evidence": "file:line or test name", "recommendation": "fix suggestion" } ``` </findings> <verdict> Final audit verdict: - PASS: All floors enforced, no critical gaps - PARTIAL: Some gaps found, non-critical - HOLD: Critical gaps found, 888_HOLD triggered - VOID: Constitutional violation detected </verdict>
