FrameCode-VibeWork runtime report

Runtime account

FrameCode-VibeWork (FCVW) supplies instructions and local support tools, not the enclosing agent executor. The ordinary invocation is a user asking a host agent to change a governed project. The host reads AGENTS.md, classifies session and event impacts, loads the cumulative context route, resumes or creates a plan, edits within its scope, validates, records evidence and a changelog/release record, and closes the plan. The next-step owner throughout is the external host agent or human, not an FCVW scheduler. RT-RTE-governed-change records this protocol; RT-RTE-context-delivery records its optional executable context support. SRC-1, AGENTS.md, tools/retrieve_context.py.

The request, plan ID/path, affected files and declared events supply task identity. Markdown policy and skill bodies are interpreted instructions; frontmatter, route tokens and Python branches have symbolic consumers. The source does not expose a provider inference loop, transcript store or model update implementation. The externally supplied model remains a distinct opaque component, RT-CMP-host-model. No supplied source establishes actual host compliance, activation, token savings, successful task completion or improvement. All executable findings below concern inspected wiring, not an executed target. No target code was run.

Ordinary context-to-closeout path

The host can route manually through the context map, invoke the retrieval CLI, or call MCP route/section tools. A structured route unions session requirements, explicit events and events derived from changed-file operations. An active plan contributes context_files; directly affected files can be added explicitly. The resolver emits paths, reasons, first-read ranges and warnings. It does not inject the complete mandatory documents into the model. Optional indexed context is lexically ranked, optionally expanded through one graph hop, and optionally selected under a complete-chunk estimated JSON budget. The caller must actually read mandatory sources and decide whether returned evidence is relevant. RT-RTE-context-delivery, RT-RTE-mcp-checks.

The host then modifies application or framework files using its own tools and permissions. FCVW supplies scope, regression, validation, rollback and closeout obligations, not filesystem isolation. Risk-proportional validation and evidence are protocol requirements; a plan's existence alone is not validation or scope authorization. An optional hook can deny selected edit-tool calls with no active/closing plan and can request repairs at stop, but it is neither universal write mediation nor a fail-closed completion barrier. RT-RTE-hook-lifecycle. Local verification can create machine-readable reports with command statuses and byte snapshots; it executes trusted local tests and other tools and must not be confused with the read-oriented MCP surface. RT-RTE-local-checks.

Forcing cases and coverage of guarantees

Four inspected cases bound the strongest claims:

  1. Plan gate versus shell and closeout. pre_edit recognizes a fixed tool set and extracted paths. A shell edit is outside this dispatch. Plans, caches, .git/, ignored files and outside-root paths are skipped; any in-progress plan or uncommitted completed/discontinued plan permits governed edits. The gate does not match a changed file against a plan's scope or verify plan contents. Stop returns success on recursion, Git/validator failures and timeouts, and otherwise filters errors to changed-file attribution. This is a conditional host protocol, not an invariant over all writes or stops. RT-RTE-hook-lifecycle.
  2. Structured versus unstructured routing. --versioned-change requires event and file declarations; application semantic impacts are caller-owned and missing semantic events produce warnings, not inferred security/AI context. The CLI can omit all structured selectors and still emit baseline mandatory paths plus explicit additions. MCP always calls the resolver, but callers can leave selectors empty. Thus cumulative routing holds for supplied selectors, not undisclosed task facts. RT-RTE-context-delivery.
  3. Budget versus ordinary excerpts. With a context budget, ranking passes whole chunk text to selection, which skips oversized candidates instead of cutting them. Without that option, excerpts are sliced at 1,200 characters. The selector budgets only optional serialized results, not mandatory file contents or the full host window. Direct bm25 callers can also choose its flags. The claimed complete-chunk behavior must retain its option and consumer boundary. RT-CLM-context-controls.
  4. MCP confinement versus other paths. MCP fixes a root and resolves direct file arguments inside it; its section reader caps selected content and its validator subprocess has a timeout. The CLI and upgrade/check tools are separate interfaces with different write capabilities. MCP route results can contain plan-declared missing/out-of-root paths and flag them; returning such a reference is not an outside-root file read. The validator's since option runs read-only Git queries, contrary to an unqualified reading of the server's opening “runs git” exclusion. No isolation conclusion extends to arbitrary host tools or subprocesses. RT-RTE-mcp-checks.

FCVW's policy also says lower-authority material cannot elevate itself through metadata, but index building uses explicit authority and retrieval_scope before defaults. That is an executable countercase to treating the policy as self-enforcing in lexical retrieval; it is not evidence of a deployed malicious input. RT-CLM-context-controls.

Coordination and changes to behavioral organization

Delegation is an explicitly authorized host operation with non-overlapping file ownership, a shared plan and main-agent review. If tools or authority are missing, the skill calls for one executor/sequential packages. No inspected FCVW implementation allocates independent model contexts or enforces soft locks. JIT skills, section reads and session handoffs reduce requested context; MCP section reads deliver retained bodies on demand, and session-start hooks automatically supply narrow retained plan identities; FCVW does not itself evict host turns. Context isolation and what a host returns from workers remain external. RT-RTE-work-packages.

Product changes use the plan protocol. Reusable knowledge promotion, review and session rotation use the curator; revision details belong to the memory analysis, while the runtime admission boundary is included here. New procedural capabilities use agent-factory; existing skills/profiles use self-improvement. These are Markdown gates executed by a host, not autonomous services. Release replacement also has a separate executable path: dry-run inventory followed by explicit apply, conflict acceptance and optional pruning. It changes policies, skills and tools later consumed as behavioral guidance or executable machinery. It does not itself establish post-upgrade validation or an atomic rollback. RT-RTE-asset-admission, RT-RTE-framework-upgrade, RT-BAP-policy-consumption.

Added SRC-1 coverage beyond the boundary's initial reads: complete bodies of tools/context_routing_fcvw.py, tools/context_selection_fcvw.py, tools/upgrade_fcvw.py, FCVW/OWNERSHIP.md, and FCVW/skills/agent-factory/SKILL.md; correction-round inspection of tools/plan_queue_fcvw.py queue derivation/recommendation and MCP section/queue returns plus hook plan-name delivery; validator main/CLI and its changed-file query implementation; reinspection of hooks, MCP, index, retrieval, checks, AI, curator, orchestrator and self-improvement. Python passages supply implementation evidence; Markdown supplies doctrine/design. No observed run or causal experiment was supplied. Uninspected provider/host internals prevent conclusions about deployed grants, actual model context, inference retries and sandboxing; they do not imply that those functions are absent in the host.

Shared records

Components

RT-CMP-host-model

Label: Externally supplied host model

FCVW addresses an external agent/human through Markdown and optional local tools. The model, when present, has distributed-parametric form; weight storage and serving substrate are outside this source. Parameter changes during operation: uninspected, because no host/model implementation is supplied. Exact version pinned: no FCVW model selection or version is fixed by these entry paths. Mutable endpoint resolving to another model: uninspected; provider configuration belongs to the host. This is a dependency boundary, not a claim that all FCVW users use one model or that weights learn during use. SRC-1, AGENTS.md, FCVW/skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md, FCVW/AI.md.

Skills must remain provider-neutral; provider adapters belong outside the core procedure. --- AGENTS.md

Operative objects

RT-OBJ-skill

Label: Skill procedure body

Source-native skills/<name>/SKILL.md bodies are natural-language procedural guidance stored as versioned Markdown. They are loaded on demand by the host and can be revised under the asset gate; delivery does not prove execution. Frontmatter is a distinct operative part below. SRC-1, FCVW/AI.md, FCVW/skills/self-improvement/SKILL.md.

  • On-Demand Loading: Load skills/<name>/SKILL.md only when the active task matches its trigger and scope. Tool names are provider-adapter details, not part of the core contract. --- FCVW/AI.md

RT-OBJ-skill-frontmatter

Label: Skill routing metadata

Part of: RT-OBJ-skill

The skill document container includes YAML schema, name, description, version and session_types fields. The session_types list has symbolic routing/validation meaning distinct from the host-interpreted procedure body. Storage is the same Markdown file; its purpose is discoverability and contract checking, not a model parameter update. SRC-1, FCVW/skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md, tools/validate_fcvw.py (main invokes skill and route checks).

session_types: - "planning" - "multi_agent" --- FCVW/skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md

Routes

RT-RTE-governed-change

Label: Plan-governed change and closeout

The user/human supplies the scope; the host proposes and executes a plan, classifies risk, chooses checks and records evidence. Decision policy is natural-language AGENTS.md; files, frontmatter and directory state persist in the repository. Plan creation/resumption, in-progress movement, scoped edits, changelog/release record, validation and completed/discontinued movement form the intended progression. Read-only requests and narrowly defined trivial prose fixes are alternate no-plan paths. The latter excludes policy/frontmatter/link/table/heading/code changes. The host or human can refuse, defer or stop work; rollback must be planned, not automatically executed. Operating mode: open user work, not a fixed curriculum. Answer oracle: project acceptance/regression criteria and tests when provided; no universal expected-answer oracle is shipped for arbitrary tasks. SRC-1, AGENTS.md.

  • implementation conclusion status: claimed
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: scoped change, plan state, validation evidence and closeout response if the host follows the flow.
  • Later read-back: the next worker/session is instructed to consult related active plans and recorded evidence.
  • Delegated visibility: packages cite the shared plan and affected files; see RT-RTE-work-packages.
  • Selection predicate: every logical versioned change except the specified trivial prose case; risk determines plan detail and checks.
  • Invalidation or expiry: plan status transitions and substantive reopening; the external executor owns recovery.
  • Activation or effect: prescribed file edits and persisted work records; actual compliance is not established.
  • Evidence limits: doctrine/design is not an enclosing runtime guarantee; optional hooks cover only selected host events.
  1. Classify priority and risk; record scope, acceptance criteria, Regression impact, validation, and rollback.
  2. Move the plan to in_progress/ before implementation.
  3. Modify only in-scope files. --- AGENTS.md

RT-RTE-context-delivery

Label: Deterministic routes and complementary retrieval

Caller inputs reach resolve_routes, mandatory_paths, optional bm25/graph expansion and optional select_chunks; JSON returns references and excerpts. Python owns selection. The map and plan are stored Markdown, while the index is generated JSONL. The CLI reads an index only when paired --index/--query are given; routes-only mode needs neither. It checks missing mandatory sources and exits nonzero for them. Explicit route tokens and file operation syntax are rejected if invalid. Selection controls and limits are assessed in RT-CLM-context-controls. SRC-1, tools/retrieve_context.py, tools/context_routing_fcvw.py, tools/context_selection_fcvw.py, tools/build_context_index.py.

  • implementation conclusion status: wired
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: mandatory path list, missing-path diagnostics, optional structured ranges/reasons and ranked complementary excerpts.
  • Later read-back: generated index contents can deliver retained Markdown on later queries; no source rehash or automatic index rebuild is performed by the retrieval CLI.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — it returns to its invoking caller; worker context distribution is host-owned.
  • Selection predicate: supplied session/event/file facts, active-plan context files, lexical overlap, metadata filters, exact identities, authority/freshness weights and explicitly selected graph relations.
  • Invalidation or expiry: sources are canonical and indexes disposable; stored chunk hashes are returned, not used here to reject a stale index.
  • Activation or effect: deterministic result assembly and optional trace write; host reading/use of delivered material remains unobserved.
  • Evidence limits: mandatory references are not delivered mandatory contents; omission of semantic task facts can under-route despite valid syntax.

if versioned_change and (not events or not (changed_files or file_changes)): raise ValueError("versioned change requires at least one explicit --event and changed file") --- tools/context_routing_fcvw.py

RT-RTE-hook-lifecycle

Label: Opt-in host lifecycle checks

The host invokes session-start, pre-edit or stop with JSON stdin. A governed root and an active automation contract naming the script/event enable action; FCVW_HOOKS=off/0/false bypasses it. Session start emits additional context with retained plan identities: all sorted in-progress names and up to five sorted pending names, not their bodies. Pre-edit extracts paths from recognized edit tools and emits a host deny response when no active/closing plan qualifies. Stop runs validator with --since HEAD --fail-on never, parses findings, selects attributed errors and returns exit 2 to request repair. The host must honor these protocol outputs. FCVW owns checks, not host interception coverage. SRC-1, tools/hook_fcvw.py.

Guarantee owner: configured host plus FCVW hook. Enforcement point: recognized pre-tool payloads and stop callback. Guarantee strength: protocol. Covered paths: registered events with active contract and environment switch on. Alternate paths: shell edits, unrecognized tools, skipped path classes, disabled/absent contract, active/closing-plan allowance and fail-open stop branches. Required external contract: compatible harness calls the hook and honors deny/exit 2. Capability surface is checks and subprocess reads; current grants and deployed isolation are uninspected.

  • implementation conclusion status: wired
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: context JSON, denial JSON, silence/success, or repair message and exit 2.
  • Later read-back: session-start reads persisted plan directory entries and supplies all sorted in-progress names and up to five sorted pending names in additionalContext. This is plan-identity read-back, not plan/handoff-body loading; the hook need not author the retained material. Actual host reliance is unobserved.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — no worker launch or isolated frame is implemented.
  • Selection predicate: event activation, recognized tool names/extracted paths, exemptions, plan presence and changed-file-attributed validator errors.
  • Invalidation or expiry: contract status and environment switch can disable checks; a recursive stop is allowed through.
  • Activation or effect: may prevent a host-mediated edit or delay finishing if the host honors outputs; no target run demonstrates this.
  • Evidence limits: it does not verify plan scope or intercept shell commands; timeout and broken-validator branches allow stopping.

if not governed or plans(root, "in_progress") or closing_plans(root): return 0, "", "" --- tools/hook_fcvw.py

except (OSError, subprocess.TimeoutExpired, json.JSONDecodeError): return 0, "", "" # a broken validator run never traps the agent --- tools/hook_fcvw.py

Shell commands are not inspected, so an edit made through a shell escapes the pre-edit check. --- tools/hook_fcvw.py

if pending:
    lines.append(f"Pending plans: {', '.join(pending[:5])}{' ...' if len(pending) > 5 else ''}.")
output = {"hookSpecificOutput": {"hookEventName": "SessionStart", "additionalContext": "\n".join(lines)}}

--- tools/hook_fcvw.py

RT-RTE-mcp-checks

Label: Read-oriented MCP tool dispatch

The configured host starts a stdio JSON-RPC process with fixed root. handle dispatches five named handlers: routes, section reads, validator, plan queue and digest. Direct file inputs to section/digest/active-plan operations use resolved-root containment. Routes return paths rather than executing them. Section reads return an outline when headings are empty, otherwise preamble and selected sections with missing-heading diagnostics and a 200,000-byte content ceiling. Validation uses a subprocess with 300-second timeout and parses JSON rather than treating exit zero as a pass oracle. Tool errors become isError; outer unexpected exceptions become internal-error replies so subsequent messages can proceed. SRC-1, tools/mcp_server_fcvw.py, tools/validate_fcvw.py.

Guarantee owner: server and its called local modules. Enforcement point: inside, handler dispatch and fixed subprocess argv. Guarantee strength: invariant for direct path containment in these handlers, not a deployment guarantee. Required external contract: trusted local Python/modules, repository and host; no OS sandbox is created. Alternate paths: CLI readers, host shell and mutating maintenance tools are separate. The validator can query Git for since; MCP does not expose the validator's --fix-moved-links mutation option.

  • implementation conclusion status: wired
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: tool-result text containing JSON, or protocol/tool error; no answer synthesis.
  • Later read-back: section reads can return retained page bodies (preamble and selected sections) to later callers; no-heading requests return outline metadata rather than bodies. Routes return mandatory path/range references, including active-plan context references, not mandatory bodies. The queue handler consumes persisted plans through plan_queue_fcvw.py and returns plan identities, derived queue metadata, findings and a next-plan recommendation, not plan bodies. Digest returns a content-derived fingerprint, not source text. These read paths do not require the handlers to author memory; actual host reliance is unobserved.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — an MCP process is not a delegated model context.
  • Selection predicate: named tool plus supplied arguments; sections by exact heading and routes by task declarations.
  • Invalidation or expiry: process lifetime fixes root; current files are reread, and missing sections/paths are reported.
  • Activation or effect: local evidence/check results returned to host; successful host use is unobserved.
  • Evidence limits: server registration and host invocation are external; confinement is not a universal restriction on the host or all FCVW tools.

RT-RTE-work-packages

Label: Authorized delegated or sequential packages

A host coordinator selects independent work from an active plan, checks collisions, assigns exact files, required skill, preservation checks and rollback notes, then reviews each result. The orchestrator skill supplies natural-language policy and requires an orchestration block in the plan. User authorization and available tools constrain delegation; no executable worker scheduler or lock implementation is established by this skill. The main agent retains review/closure responsibility. SRC-1, FCVW/skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md.

  • implementation conclusion status: claimed
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: reviewed package outputs, explicit deferrals and an orchestration record.
  • Later read-back: plan package/deferred state can guide a later executor; actual persistence is host-performed.
  • Delegated visibility: handoff names active plan, files, skill, preservation behavior, evidence and rollback; full context inheritance and return serialization are host-specific and uninspected.
  • Selection predicate: explicit authority, actual subagent tools, non-overlap and useful independent packages; otherwise one executor/sequential mode.
  • Invalidation or expiry: conflicts, unavailable tools or failed review prevent authorized closeout; deferral is recorded.
  • Activation or effect: host chooses execution mode and reviews packages; isolated context allocation and soft-lock enforcement are not implemented here.
  • Evidence limits: a requested worker boundary is not proof of host isolation, parallel execution or performance benefit.

The main agent remains responsible for review, validation, changelog, and plan closure. --- FCVW/skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md

RT-RTE-asset-admission

Label: Knowledge and operational-asset admission gates

User requests, recurring failures, source changes, canonical-rule drift or measured cost/risk gaps trigger host proposals. Product edits use RT-RTE-governed-change; curator promotes/revises sourced wiki knowledge and bounded handoffs; agent-factory chooses inline checklist/template/skill/profile/defer; self-improvement chooses patch/defer/factory escalation for existing operational assets. These distinct gate procedures share host-mediated Markdown admission, not a shared executable automatic writer. New assets require recurrence/coverage/token/risk/scope/validation thresholds; existing changes need an evidence metric and all safety metrics. Human veto is possible through user authority and review, but the texts do not require a separate human approval of every content update. Computation may propose/interpret/write; physical file I/O and content admission are not identical. SRC-1, FCVW/skills/agent-factory/SKILL.md, FCVW/skills/self-improvement/SKILL.md, FCVW/skills/wiki-curator/SKILL.md, FCVW/AI.md.

Operating mode: open project maintenance requests and evidence-triggered review, with representative replay as a bounded validation subtask. Answer oracle: source records, canonical contracts and replay acceptance criteria, when supplied; not model judgment alone. Rejection ability: failed thresholds block/defer or redirect proposals. Recovery: plan rollback, preserved source records and versioned assets; no automatic transactional reversion. Proposal guidance is the quoted gate plus canonical policies and source evidence. What persists: changed skill/wiki text, metadata, catalog links, plans/change records and optional session synthesis. Later consumers are hosts loading skills or knowledge. Detailed memory transformations are left to the memory member.

  • implementation conclusion status: claimed
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: accepted patch/new asset, redirected smaller change, or explicit deferral with evidence.
  • Later read-back: revised procedures and curated knowledge are intended for later on-demand host loading.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — these procedures do not themselves allocate worker contexts.
  • Selection predicate: source-bounded reusable knowledge or qualifying procedural failure/drift/ROI; stylistic/persona-only and scope-expanding changes are blocked or redirected.
  • Invalidation or expiry: source-digest review and supersession for knowledge; catalog/trigger consistency and replay checks for procedural edits.
  • Activation or effect: requested retention of behavior-shaping text, with later loading afforded; no supplied host trace establishes changed behavior.
  • Evidence limits: thresholds are instructions, not machine-enforced measurements; expected ROI does not establish achieved benefit.

If any metric fails, do not create a new skill or agent. Patch an existing document or defer with evidence. --- FCVW/skills/agent-factory/SKILL.md

  1. Patch the smallest section that changes behavior.
  2. Preserve trigger precision and explicit non-responsibilities.
  3. Validate with the task that exposed the gap or a representative replay.
  4. Update catalogs, indexes, changelog, plan, and session synthesis. --- FCVW/skills/self-improvement/SKILL.md

Do not refresh a changed source digest before dependent knowledge has been reviewed. --- FCVW/skills/wiki-curator/SKILL.md

Theory assessment boundary: these exposed operational rules, not inaccessible model reasoning. A skill can formulate a localized procedural account of when an approach should work; not every skill is automatically a theory. Under theory-builder conditions 1–4: condition 1 conclusion status: afforded — whole units of method text are exposed and revisable; condition 2 conclusion status: claimed — host decisions are instructed to depend on that content; condition 3 conclusion status: claimed — the sequence requests failure/drift diagnosis and behavioral revision/replay, but does not establish a performed criticism assigning blame to a particular theory rather than test/data; condition 4 conclusion status: afforded — retained edits can shape later rounds, without evidence of those rounds. Addressability: sections, triggers and gate rows permit localized inspection/patching. Persistence: repository files can span sessions/problems; actual later consumption is unobserved. Learning: improved future capacity and attribution remain uninspected, not demonstrated by retention. Reflection: instructions refer to the system's own failures and can revise its operating rules, so a host-mediated reflective pathway is afforded, not observed. Reflective theory builder: claimed method intent, not established operation meeting all four conditions. Autonomous theory builder: uninspected — neither every internal operation nor required human contribution is established. Self-improvement, assessed over FCVW skill/profile maintenance across sessions with the independent objective of reducing evidenced failure/drift/cost: a dispositional host-mediated pathway is afforded. Evidence-driven proposal, retained organization change and later authority are requested; subsequent operation causally depending on the revision is unestablished. No exercised or successful self-improvement is inferred.

RT-RTE-framework-upgrade

Label: Selective framework upgrade

A caller supplies installed root and target payload. Python compares role manifests/digests, classifies actions, and defaults to dry run. --apply admits writes; unresolved conflicts refuse the CLI apply unless --accept-conflicts is explicit. Accepted conflicts receive .local copies, and existing conflict backups cause refusal. Preserved roles are not overwritten in the ordinary matched-entry branch. --prune deletes only actions classified obsolete. New and replacement files are copied, and a new manifest becomes baseline. Target-role authority and missing-current-entry ordering matter: this is not a general promise to preserve arbitrary unmanifested colliding files. apply_upgrade is also directly callable and receives its action list from the caller; CLI admission checks are not an API-wide security boundary. SRC-1, tools/upgrade_fcvw.py, FCVW/OWNERSHIP.md.

Proposer: release provider plus local caller. Decision/veto: Python action classification and caller apply/conflict/prune flags; caller may be human or automation. No per-content human approval is proven by a flag. Operating mode: bounded release replacement, not model search; answer oracle: role/digest comparisons, not semantic compatibility. Guidance: ownership/migration procedure. Persistence: policies, skills, tools, backups and baseline manifest. Rejection/recovery: dry run, conflict refusal and backup protection; copies proceed one by one and are not an atomic transaction. Regeneration, validator execution and lock update are follow-up instructions, not performed by this command.

  • implementation conclusion status: wired
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: action report and status, with applied count on completed apply.
  • Later read-back: changed procedures/tools reach later host/tool invocations; new manifest guides later upgrade comparisons.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — no worker delegation is implemented.
  • Selection predicate: union of installed/release manifest paths, target roles and live/baseline/target digests; explicit apply/conflict/prune options govern mutation.
  • Invalidation or expiry: generated artifacts require rebuild; preserved local conflicts remain divergent from the new upstream baseline.
  • Activation or effect: direct filesystem copies/deletions and manifest writes, with component-wise containment checks; no later execution is evidenced.
  • Evidence limits: no inspected execution or release payload attestation; role classification is not a semantic merge or rollback transaction.

RT-RTE-local-checks

Label: Trusted local validation driver

Caller selects trusted interpreter(s) and root; the driver probes runtime identity, runs tests, governance validation, synthetic retrieval benchmark and installed-layout verification, optionally archive checks. It writes per-step logs/report, snapshots source bytes before/after and returns aggregate pass/fail. This is production/evaluation machinery, not a hosted CI or agent inference loop. It can execute arbitrary trusted local test bodies, unlike the narrower MCP handlers. SRC-1, tools/check_fcvw.py.

Operating mode: bounded local verification. Answer oracles: subprocess statuses, test assertions, benchmark checks, archive/layout checks and byte equality; representative model quality is not measured by this driver alone. Caller can choose not to run it; it does not itself admit/publish a release. Failures/timeouts become step failures rather than automatic source repairs.

  • implementation conclusion status: wired
  • operation conclusion status: uninspected
  • Immediate return: report path, aggregate status and step progress; JSON report includes commands, return codes, duration and log locations.
  • Later read-back: report/log artifacts can support later review; no automatic behavior-shaping update follows from their retention here.
  • Delegated visibility: inapplicable — interpreter subprocesses execute local checks, not isolated model workers.
  • Selection predicate: trusted root and runtime list; optional release assets must be four expected language ZIPs of one version plus checksums.
  • Invalidation or expiry: report binds a byte snapshot and runtime/OS; subsequent changes require new evidence rather than reusing pass universally.
  • Activation or effect: local tool/test execution and evidence writes; no independent attestation or release publication.
  • Evidence limits: inspected driver implementation only; no target tests or benchmark were run for this analysis.

Claims

RT-CLM-context-controls

Label: Authority and optional context bounds

FCVW claims mandatory context remains outside optional scoring/budgets and that retrieved evidence cannot become sovereign instruction. Python does keep the mandatory list separate, caps results at 20, and can select whole optional chunks using an estimated serialized-array budget. But ordinary unbudgeted excerpts are sliced, no host-window limit is enforced, and source metadata precedes authority/scope defaults. Graph expansion uses the already filtered selected records, so it does not independently restore excluded/exact-only records filtered out of that pool. SRC-1, FCVW/AI.md, tools/retrieve_context.py, tools/context_selection_fcvw.py, tools/build_context_index.py.

Guarantee owner: retriever/selector for emitted JSON, host for evidence/instruction separation and reading mandatory sources. Enforcement point: output assembly and selector; authority precedence additionally requires content validation and host discipline. Guarantee strength: invariant for selector's optional-array estimate when invoked with valid inputs; policy for non-elevation and instruction trust. Implementation conclusion status: wired. Operation conclusion status: uninspected. External contract: caller supplies semantic facts, current index and actual mandatory reads; estimate is not tokenizer usage.

Optional lexical retrieval complements but never replaces deterministic routing. --- FCVW/AI.md

declared = scalar(metadata, "authority") if declared: return declared --- tools/build_context_index.py

"excerpt": str(record.get("content", "")) if complete_chunks else str(record.get("content", ""))[:MAX_EXCERPT_CHARS],

--- tools/retrieve_context.py

The authority override is reachable from the shipped builder's parsing of Markdown metadata, not merely a type-level possibility. Whether governance validation or host review rejects a particular record is a separate consumer question; these ranking branches alone do not enforce the policy. No demonstrated malicious execution or deployed bypass is claimed.
