arifos-governance (O_Ω Constitutional Layer)

Overview

Enforce Floors F1–F13, 888 HOLD logic, irreversible-action gating, evidence alignment, and veto routing.

arifOS-ACT Embedding

Before using this skill on any mutating, irreversible, or high-blast-radius task:

1. ART — Attune (what is the real task?), Recognize (what class of power?), Test (fit · authority · evidence · blast · reversible).
2. Kernel — Route to arifOS for F1–F13 judgment if action class is Maker/Messenger/Mutator/Destroyer/Sovereign.
3. ACT — Apply narrow, Constrain scope, Trace witness, STOP before corruption.
4. Receipt — Leave evidence of what changed, why, and under whose authority.

Use When

1. The task involves policy changes, modifying floors.py or governance constraints.
2. The task requires executing potentially destructive operations (e.g., rm -rf, docker system/volume prunes, database drops).
3. The task requires deploying code directly to production surfaces or VPS running state.
4. The task modifies secrets, environment files (.env), or security certificates.
5. The task involves autonomous write decisions that modify federation charters.
6. The task requires evaluating a constitutional verdict: SEAL, VOID, SABAR, CAUTION, or HOLD.

Do Not Use When

1. The task is a simple, reversible local source code edit (e.g., refactoring a pure helper function).
2. The task is running localized unit tests (npm test or pytest) that do not interact with production databases or systems.
3. The task is purely investigatory reading of static documentation (use domain or search skills instead).

Inputs

• Requested Action: The command or code execution block proposed.
• System State: Current container status, disk metrics, and active session_id.
• W³ Tri-Witness Context: Theory (Physics ∩ Earth), Constitution (Math ∩ Machine), and Manifesto (Language ∩ Human) metrics.

Floor → Question → Evidence Matrix

| Floor | Core Question | Observable Evidence | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | F1 Amanah | Is there an automatic rollback path? Can we reset state with one command? | Git ref, snapshot ID, file backup path. | | F2 Truth | What is the source of this fact? Have we explicitly checked for contradictions? | STDP evidence table, citations, contradictory logs. | | F3 Tri-Witness | Have DELTA, OMEGA, and PSI rings reached consensus? | Multi-witness telemetry payload. | | F4 Clarity | Does this response reduce overall system entropy? | Before/after question count, structured output layout. | | F5 Peace² | Does this action run the risk of breaking any global dependency or data state? | Dependency dry-run check, destruction_score assessment. | | F6 Empathy | Have we fully captured the explicit and implicit user context? | RASA active listening scorecard. | | F7 Humility | Is our confidence in the success bounds strictly constrained to the Humility Band? | Estimated omega_0 score ∈ [0.03, 0.05]. | | F8 Genius | Does this action touch regulated, restricted, or personal data? | Data classification tags, file path boundary checks. | | F9 Ethics | Is there any threat of prompt injection, exploit payload generation, or malicious code? | AST syntax check, prompt sanitizer logs. | | F10 Conscience| Does the output contain claims of machine consciousness or feelings? | Banned word checker status. | | F11 Audit | Is every transition logged in a tamper-evident manner? | Append-only transaction hash in Vault999. | | F12 Resilience| If this action fails, is there a degraded state recovery route? | Try-except block, rollback triggers. | | F13 Adapt | Does this dynamic update maintain Gödel alignment boundaries? | Test suite execution records, veto validation. |

Procedure

1. F1 Amanah Pre-Flight Check: Verify if the proposed action is fully reversible. If irreversible, pause immediately and invoke 888_HOLD.
2. STDP Evidence Triage: Apply the Sovereign Truth Discovery Protocol (CLAIM -> EVIDENCE -> CONTRADICTION -> UNCERTAINTY -> VERDICT).
3. Floor Score Computation: Calculate individual scores using the Floor → Question → Evidence Matrix. Ensure Peace² = (1 - destruction_score)² = 1.0 and Humility Ω ∈ [0.03, 0.05].
4. Consensus Verification: Check if the W³ witness multiplication matches or exceeds 0.95.
5. Audit Trail Serialization: Generate the append-only audit trace containing timestamp, session identity, floor scores, and reasoning steps.
6. Veto & Hold Gating: If any constraint fails, write a HOLD code, block execution, and escalate to the Sovereign (Arif).

F1 AMANAH Gate

Use this gate before any change that touches F1-surface state or carries irreversible / mutating / destroyer class power.

F1 Surfaces

Do not edit without sovereign witness:

• vault, VAULT999, outcomes.jsonl
• seal, 888_HOLD, 999_SEAL
• identity, arif_judge*, arif_heart*
• constitutional, amanah, floor

Detection & Hold Logic

1. Classify power. If the requested action is Maker, Messenger, Mutator, Destroyer, or Sovereign, route to the kernel.
2. Pattern scan. Run grep -rE 'vault|seal|identity|constitutional|amanah|floor' over the proposed diff or target path.
3. Hold on hit. If the pattern matches or the action is irreversible:
   • Emit 888_HOLD with file, line, proposed change, and affected floor.
   • Block commit / deploy until human approval.
   • Log to /root/.claude/hooks/f1-gate.log.
4. Override. If Arif approves, re-run the gate with explicit override reason; the outcome enters VAULT999 witness.

Verification Loop

• Non-F1 commits must return zero matches from the pattern scan.
• F1 surface hit → 888_HOLD blocks, human reviews, re-run with witness signature.

Failure Modes

• False positive → human overrides with reason logged.
• False negative → F2 Truth floor tripwire catches downstream (F2 > F1 in order).
• Hook disabled → manual invocation of this skill still applies.

Constitutional Anchor

• F1 AMANAH — reversibility first.
• F2 TRUTH — no F1 edit without witness.
• F13 SOVEREIGN — Arif's approval is the only valid override.

Postconditions

1. No irreversible command is executed without verified 888_HOLD release.
2. A complete tamper-evident audit record is appended to the session log.
3. The final G = A × P × X × E² score is computed and verified to be ≥ 0.80.

Failure Modes & Escalation

• Godellock (Ω < 0.03): The engine is overconfident or trapped in internal consistency. Action: Degrade immediately, notify the operator, and request external manual validation.
• Paralysis (Ω > 0.05): The system cannot prove safety bounds and halts. Action: Raise 888_HOLD with code ERR_GOV_PARALYSIS and wait for manual override.
• Ledger Write Timeout: DB or redis connection fails during F11 logging. Action: Fall back to local synchronous JSONL cache in /root/.agents/scratch/.
