The agent environment orientation (§8) reserves "operator": Operator is a CARING lifecycle role and OPERATE is an Auth Mode, so the founder's decisions are written as the founder exercising GOVERN @ estate. Only authorization references changed. The canon's own domain use of operator — CARING roles, network operators, operator hours — is correct and untouched, as are preserved seeds, assimilation sources, history records and consumer-authored feedback.

# Conformance, reproducible consumption, and maintenance
|
||
|
||
Implements the optimization recommendations in
|
||
`history/2026-09-05_002437+0200-scope-against-intent.md`.
|
||
Reviewed against the current working tree; authorized by the founder
|
||
(`GOVERN @ estate`) on 2026-09-05. Uses the AGENTS.md INFO-WP file convention.
|
||
|
||
## Reusable conformance and coverage
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T01
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "abc0ed79-009f-5254-a2bf-4dcedd1925e9"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Extract shared schema validation and emission-cadence semantics into contract
|
||
modules. Expose arbitrary declaration validation and explicit coverage through
|
||
the CLI. Reject unsupported versions, malformed declarations, and duplicate
|
||
source IDs. Enforce explicit ownership conflicts. Preserve all existing tests.
|
||
|
||
## Reproducible contract bundle and adoption gate
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T02
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "1ec85dc5-5775-50b6-8066-ac839fd252c9"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Provide deterministic, content-addressed export of the cadence contract,
|
||
schema, and example; refuse overwriting different contents. Define owner-authored
|
||
adoption evidence requirements and keep draft promotion contingent on two
|
||
independent implementations. Local examples must not count as adoption evidence.
|
||
|
||
## Freshness and evidence
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T03
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "e4171772-50bf-58f6-9c87-8eddbef1caa5"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Add non-mutating generated-asset checks, reproducible scope inventory, and
|
||
revision/time/source-digest evidence on validation reports. Refresh work-record
|
||
projections via State Hub. Check stale and missing generated assets with tests.
|
||
|
||
## Portable consumption
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T04
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "e258d84d-d969-5032-baef-ae1060843319"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Remove hardcoded workstation dependency paths. Resolve an installed bench
|
||
distribution and an explicit external corpus root. Prove wheel installation
|
||
and commands from an unrelated directory. Document upstream packaging limits
|
||
without changing sibling repositories.
|
||
|
||
## Measure performance and verify implementation
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T05
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: medium
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "09a585e8-4c67-5143-bc3a-ae47623547ea"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Measure repeated reads before deciding whether caching is justified. Run all
|
||
tests, canon/profile validation, generated freshness checks, and the clean
|
||
installation proof. Update SCOPE/README and record evidence. Avoid speculative
|
||
models or runtime expansion.
|
||
|
||
## Independent consumer adoption
|
||
|
||
```task
|
||
id: INFO-WP-0019-T06
|
||
status: done
|
||
priority: high
|
||
state_hub_task_id: "b33aeb8c-ba7c-5094-9902-85565c1e721b"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Requires two source owners to provide independently implemented declarations
|
||
and consumer results pinned to the contract digest. This repo can validate
|
||
submitted evidence but cannot manufacture source ownership or deployed proof.
|
||
No external messages or consumer changes are authorized by this workplan.
|
||
Promotion remains blocked until that evidence arrives.
|
||
|
||
2026-09-09 recheck: the inbox contains an InterfaceCanon semantic-boundary
|
||
review request, and `feedback/` still contains only the two resource-control
|
||
capability reports. Neither supplies independent emission-cadence declarations
|
||
or the required pinned consumer results. T06 remains waiting; boundary review
|
||
is handled separately in INFO-WP-0026.
|
||
|
||
2026-09-20 recheck: no change in the evidence, and the gate is verified ready.
|
||
|
||
`feedback/` still holds only the two 2026-08-15 resource-control capability
|
||
reports. `incoming/` holds only its README. The inbox carries eleven messages,
|
||
the most recent a 2026-06-27 concept contribution from ops-warden; none is an
|
||
emission-cadence declaration. The only declaration in the repository remains
|
||
`standards/emission-cadence/examples/qonto-assistant.yaml`, which the standard
|
||
itself states is not the source-owned declaration and makes no claim about live
|
||
emission.
|
||
|
||
What this repository owes the gate is in place and was re-tested rather than
|
||
assumed. `emission-review` validates an arbitrary source-owned declaration
|
||
against the named schema and reports `operational_truth_assessed: false`, so a
|
||
submission cannot be mistaken for observed behaviour.
|
||
`export-emission-contract` produces a content-addressed bundle whose manifest
|
||
carries the gate in words — "Two independent source-owned implementations
|
||
required; example does not count" — at digest `972c0b6701d1693f`. A source owner
|
||
can pin to that digest today.
|
||
|
||
The blocker is therefore not readiness. It is that no external source owner has
|
||
been asked. The contract came from the King's Guard taxonomy and the evidence
|
||
classes remain owned by NetKingdom, which makes `netkingdom` the obvious first
|
||
source owner; a second must be independent of it. Asking them is an outward
|
||
action this workplan does not authorize, so T06 stays `wait` until the founder
|
||
decides whether to solicit declarations, and from whom.
|
||
|
||
### Result — 2026-09-21 (T06)
|
||
|
||
Closed by restating the gate rather than by evidence arriving, on the founder's
|
||
decision of 2026-09-21 after the third recheck found the evidence unchanged.
|
||
Recorded as INFO-DEC-2026-002, with the reasoning in
|
||
`history/2026-09-21_000846+0200-emission-cadence-promotion-gate.md`.
|
||
|
||
The gate as written — "two independent Emission Cadence source implementations"
|
||
before draft promotion — made one sentence do two jobs: whether the contract is
|
||
specified well enough to implement against, which this repository can answer,
|
||
and whether it survives implementers who did not write it, which it cannot. The
|
||
second blocked the first, so the standard sat at `draft`, a word that reads as
|
||
"unfinished specification", when what was missing was adoption.
|
||
|
||
The gate is now two levels, written into the standard as section 10 rather than
|
||
only into SCOPE.md. **Candidate** requires schema coverage of every form,
|
||
one-command validation of an arbitrary source-owned declaration, a
|
||
content-addressed bundle a source can pin to, separation of declaration from
|
||
observation, and a documented external consumption path — all met and re-tested.
|
||
**Stable** requires two source-owned declarations from independent owners
|
||
pinned to a digest, an observer result from a third party, and a recorded
|
||
incompatibility or recorded absence of one.
|
||
|
||
Emission Cadence moves to `candidate` at document version `0.2.0`. The wire
|
||
contract is untouched at schema version `0.1`; a producer conformant yesterday
|
||
is conformant today.
|
||
|
||
What was given up is stated in the decision record and worth repeating here:
|
||
`candidate` now carries no interoperability evidence at all. The mitigation is
|
||
that the standard says so in its own section 10, naming that no consumer has
|
||
implemented the contract and that its worked example is not a source-owned
|
||
declaration. The stable gate is stricter than the sentence it replaces, since
|
||
it adds the observer result and the incompatibility record.
|
||
|
||
## Implementation notes
|
||
|
||
T01–T04 implemented in `contracts.py`, `maintenance.py`, `paths.py`, CLI,
|
||
service integration, and `docs/canon-consumption.md`. Explicit mapping schema
|
||
bindings and ownership checks improve coverage without claiming exhaustive
|
||
semantic validation. The normal bench initializer imports unrelated database
|
||
integrations; installed-module discovery retains the narrow adapter. Clean
|
||
wheel consumption uses the documented explicit-dependency installation until
|
||
the upstream owner separates reference-data packaging.
|
||
|
||
Registration: State Hub workstream `b29261ba-c1e4-5533-8185-ab2d5b433685`.
|
||
The consistency tool reports an INFO-WP/ITC-WP prefix advisory: this plan follows
|
||
the explicit INFO-WP convention in AGENTS.md; existing plans and the registry
|
||
use ITC-WP. This naming inconsistency does not prevent registration.
|
||
|
||
## Verification — 2026-09-05
|
||
|
||
`make check`: 36 tests passed (22.42 seconds); all 77 generated assets current;
|
||
canon validation passed (76 artifacts, 315 relationships); Small-SaaS passed
|
||
(15 payloads). Installed-wheel inspect, validation, and emission review passed
|
||
from an unrelated directory with PYTHONPATH unset and a copied corpus.
|
||
Ten uncached inspections measured median 788.05 ms, maximum 1241.92 ms;
|
||
caching remains deferred pending a workload/latency requirement.
|
||
|
||
Local implementation T01–T05 is complete. Overall status is blocked only on
|
||
T06's independent owner evidence. See
|
||
`history/2026-09-05_optimization-implementation.md` for artifacts and limitations.
