Part H invariants, enforced and tested:
- Snapshots now carry wants, want conflicts, commitments, intentions,
plans, plan steps and the volition decision ledger.
- A fork no longer copies the source mind's policies unless the operator
asks for it explicitly (inherit_policies in the API, a checkbox in the
UI; audited), and the fork's history records the omission. Imports
never restore policies, as before. Replays and experiments never
inherit.
- Work inherited mid-flight by a fork or import is quiesced in the
restore transaction: open steps are blocked with their approval and
request ids cleared, open plans blocked and live intentions suspended,
each with the reason. Approvals, grants and executions stay with the
source mind.
- Dreams may leave a want to test a hypothesis they proposed; they never
request authority, and dream-origin plans never run.
- Snapshot column discovery now reads the current schema instead of
"public", which only worked in tests because the development database
happened to hold the same tables.
- Security tests: a static scan that only the capability service runs
executors and that no cognitive package can set or delete policy,
approve, deny, grant or revoke; forged wants, commitments, intentions,
model plans and model output end in refusal or a pending approval with
policy and grants unchanged; component names cannot decide requests or
approvals; no capability names an operator control; the registry cannot
grow at runtime; audit, event and decision history cannot be altered;
forks and dreams as above.
An archive is data about a mind, not a grant of permissions on this
instance. Import now skips the policies table (forks on the same instance
keep theirs), reports the omitted rows in the audit log and the mind's
history, and the snapshot test proves both paths.
- snapshots: checksummed JSON archive of every mind-scoped state table plus
identity/personality/config and the event position; stored, downloadable
- fork: restore into a new mind with all ids remapped; event references are
kept so history before the fork is shared by reference
- export/import: same archive; import is hostile-input validated (size,
allow-listed tables, row caps, column names, checksum, forced mind_id)
- compare: deterministic counts, belief diffs by proposition, personality
and config diffs, event mix
- replay: Runtime.Step for synchronous drivers; sandbox fork driven one
stimulus at a time under a forbidden capability context; recorded model
responses via a replaying router; steps labelled exact / approximate /
diverged with recorded-vs-replayed digests
- experiments: definition (overrides, stimuli, expectations, seed, duration),
background run in a disabled subject mind, stored and exportable results
- migration 0015, API, UI (Snapshots and Replay tabs, Experiments section,
compare page), noemactl snapshots/compare/replay/experiments, docs
