A later plane cannot rewrite an +artifact or identity from an earlier plane. + +SCE-002's campaign composition does not introduce a `Campaign` runtime root. +ADR-053 remains the composition mechanism: reusable SDL modules contribute +typed exports to one root and produce one expanded canonical `Scenario` before +selection. A campaign across multiple executions is represented by the +experiment design, admitted plan, and existing run/study records. Neither form +permits nested scenario lifecycles or concatenation of mutable runtime state. + +### 2. Add named, stable, bounded SDL variation points + +SDL scenario-family authoring uses an optional keyed registry of variation +points. A point's canonical id participates in module namespace rewriting and +never depends on its selected value, source path, trial, worker, or backend. + +The first version is a closed union: + +- scalar parameter binding through existing SDL variables; +- governed reference choice; +- exactly-one typed structural alternative; +- bounded subset of typed keyed members; +- constrained order over stable semantic item ids; and +- logical timing choice with an explicit time domain/unit. + +Accordingly, attack order uses an `order` point, target selection uses a bounded +`subset` or `governed-reference` point, and scenario timing uses a +`logical-timing` point. IP and typed path inputs reuse existing SDL variables; +credential inputs carry governed secret references or declared late-bound +secret-reference sinks and never expose raw secret values as selections. + +Targets are closed descriptors owned by the SDL model containing the target +slot. Arbitrary JSON/YAML paths, patches, templates, expressions, callbacks, +external queries, and author code are not admitted. + +Alternatives/members are locally well-typed and independently valid. Closed +requires/excludes/cardinality/precedence relations may constrain combinations. +Every selected whole scenario is revalidated during instantiation; the compiler +emits no plan if any requested combination is invalid. + +### 3. Reuse bounded value-domain primitives, not backend authority + +Exact, finite-enum, boolean, bounded-numeric, governed-reference, and acyclic +record/product semantics reuse the neutral `DomainDescriptor` foundation +governed by accepted ADR-070. + +Scenario-family validity, experiment selection, and backend realizability are +three separate authorities: + +1.

The selected backend envelope states which selected instances it can + realize. + +`RealizationEnvelopeModel`, backend posture, `WitnessPolicy`, and envelope +witness generation do not become the experiment randomizer. This change +explicitly accepts ADR-070 after its contract, relation, carriage, posture, and +honesty-conformance work landed. It clarifies, but does not broaden, the +envelope expression fragment: envelopes govern backend realizability after +experiment selection. + +### 4. Make selection, allocation, and stochastic intent experiment concepts + +`experiment-authoring-input-v1` remains the pre-run design artifact. Typed +selection policies reference qualified variation-point ids and explicitly +state enumeration, explicit values, zip/product, sampling, stratification, +blocking, or coverage semantics, finite output/budget, factor/condition +bindings, logical-coordinate profile, and stochastic-control reference. + +Free-text allocation/randomization fields and a seed are not executable by +convention. They remain descriptive until migrated to accepted typed profiles. +SDL does not gain study factors, allocation, apparatus intent, run count, or +analysis semantics. + +### 5. Require versioned semantic random streams + +Every executable stochastic policy names exact versions for the generator, +seed encoding, canonical semantic-address encoding, stream/key derivation, +raw-bit interpretation, distribution/sampling transformations, and failure +behavior. + +Every experiment stochastic control also declares a canonical root seed and a +stable randomness namespace. The namespace is an explicit experiment-owned +identifier, not the aggregate experiment-spec identity or digest. It remains +stable across revisions only when the author intends common random numbers for +unchanged semantic addresses; an independent randomization intentionally uses +a new namespace or seed. + +Draw addresses derive only from the randomness namespace, logical trial +coordinate, policy id, variation-point id, draw purpose, and stable local draw +coordinate. They never include the aggregate experiment digest, scheduling, +worker/process/thread/host identity, wall time, completion order, retry count, +map/hash iteration order, or backend availability. The exact experiment digest +remains sealed plan/run provenance but is not a stream-address input. + +Each concern receives an independent stream. Adding an unrelated draw cannot +perturb another point or trial. For identical admitted inputs, serial, +parallel, worker-reversed, differently batched, retried, cross-process, and +different hash-order compilation must produce byte-identical plans. + +This ADR selects the profile boundary, not a concrete PRNG. #274 selects and +publishes accepted generator/derivation/transformation profiles. + +### 6. Compile and admit one immutable trial plan atomically + +`aces_processor` compiles an admitted experiment spec, exact composed family, +task, required artifacts, selected apparatus manifests/envelopes, and exact +compiler/identity/RNG profiles into one closed content-addressed admitted trial +plan. + +Every entry contains a unique logical coordinate, factor/condition/replicate +assignments, structural selections, non-secret scalar/reference bindings, +stochastic control/namespace/seed/profile/address/outcome provenance, pinned +apparatus claims, and the expected selection-to-instantiation linkage. + +The compiler stages and validates every requested entry before sealing the +plan. Empty/contradictory domains, budget exhaustion, duplicate coordinates or +ids, invalid selected scenarios, artifact/profile drift, or apparatus-envelope +mismatch produce deterministic bounded diagnostics and no plan. It never +clamps, substitutes, drops, falls back, or resamples a failed coordinate. + +The plan is execution intent, not a scheduler queue, live operation record, +runtime snapshot, run, study, result, or evidence store. + +### 7. Preallocate the existing archival run identity + +Each plan entry deterministically preallocates the `run_id` that +`experiment-run-v1` will use if execution starts. The identity derives from +admitted execution intent and the logical coordinate under a versioned +identity profile. + +An idempotent transport retry before execution reuses the id. A genuine +re-execution uses a new explicit replicate/execution ordinal, is admitted +again, receives a new run id, and may link to its source run. ACES does not add +`experiment-trial-v1` or a second archival trial identity. + +The plan has its own content identity for the group. Plan identity, scheduler +job id, operation id, and runtime snapshot id are never run ids. + +### 8. Realize entries through public SDL phase APIs + +For one entry, `aces_processor` applies only its recorded structural selections +and scalar bindings to the exact family it pins, then uses the public SDL +instantiation/admission path. It performs no new draw, import, query, secret +read, backend callback, or fallback. + +Instantiation provenance gains plan/run and canonical point-selection lineage +at its owning implementation issue. The canonical snapshot commits to the +selected concrete scenario and that derivation evidence. A private binder or +deserialized unchecked object cannot mint an admitted result. + +### 9. Restrict runtime facts to typed late-bound sinks + +Compiled late-bound slots declare a stable id, target address/type, allowed +source/scope, freshness, sensitivity, authorization/evidence expectations, and +absence behavior. Runtime facts or secret references may fill only those +run-local operation/action inputs. + +Facts cannot add/remove/rename topology, choose a variation point, alter a +factor/condition, change plan/snapshot/run identity, select apparatus, or +advance/replace random streams. Missing, stale, unauthorized, wrong-type, or +wrong-scope facts produce explicit runtime dispositions, never fallback +selection. + +Secret values are resolved only at authorized sinks. They are not factors, +condition assignments, seeds, stream inputs, ids/digests, plan bindings, +fixtures, diagnostics, argv, logs, or telemetry. + +### 10. Keep backend realization and scheduling subordinate to admission + +The selected scenario must first be a family member, then satisfy selected +manifest/capability and realization-envelope evidence. Backend-open choices +stay within the envelope and are disclosed as realized forms. Backend refusal +or availability drift is failure/deviation, not permission to pick another +trial or backend silently. + +A scheduler consumes sealed entries. It may place, delay, pause, cancel, retry +transport idempotently, prove isolated bounded parallelism, enforce timeouts, +and verify clean state/cleanup. It cannot compose, select, randomize, +instantiate, allocate run ids, compare, or score. APTL uses this handoff rather +than implementing a second scenario lifecycle. + +### 11. Treat adaptation and generation as governed consumers + +Adaptive difficulty preserves the admitted baseline. Interventions carry +policy, observation, trigger, action, timing, and validity provenance; a +derived follow-up trial requires a new admitted coordinate/run id. + +ATT&CK layers, STIX, playbooks, CTI reports, planning systems, and AI generators +may produce revision-pinned candidate SDL and mappings. Candidates re-enter the +ordinary authoring, trust, composition, semantic-validation, experiment, and +admission gates. Candidate generation is not execution authority. + +## Required Boundaries + +- Composition is deterministic and complete before trial selection. +- Canonical ids do not depend on selected values. +- Structural alternatives are declared, bounded, typed, and independently + valid. +- Scenario-family domains and experiment selection policies are distinct. +- Experiment selection and backend realizability are distinct. +- Trial-plan bytes and selected values are invariant under valid scheduling and + worker permutations. +- No failure, retry, or backend rejection consumes a shared stream or triggers + resampling. +- Runtime facts cannot retroactively change identity, factors, topology, + structural choices, snapshots, or streams. +- Backend choices stay within the selected realization envelope and are + disclosed. +- One started trial is one existing archival run record. +- Schedulers consume plans without owning scenario meaning or experiment + analysis. + +## Compatibility And Migration + +- Existing static SDL denotes a singleton family and remains valid. +- Existing variable-only SDL retains its substitution/binding semantics; scalar + variation targets the existing variable mechanism. +- Existing module composition and canonical namespace behavior remain + unchanged. +- Existing experiment authoring files remain valid.

Future versions add plan/selection lineage under ADR-061 + rather than weakening or duplicating those records. +- Consumers that do not support a new structural variation/profile reject it + cleanly; they do not ignore it. + +## Alternatives Considered + +### Embed Jsonnet, Dhall, CUE, templates, or an expression language + +Rejected. These would add another evaluator, trust model, termination/budget +surface, and diagnostic language and would allow computed unbounded structure. +ACES adopts bounded typed declarations and ordinary SDL validation instead. + +### Use JSON Patch/YAML overlays for structural variants + +Rejected. Path-based mutation is not semantic target authorization, can edit +identity-bearing fields, is fragile under schema evolution, and makes branch +validity difficult to review. + +### Put randomization in SDL composition or instantiation + +Rejected. A scenario family states validity; an experiment states selection. +Hidden draws during composition or instantiation make the selected artifact +depend on invocation context and defeat explicit provenance. + +### Use one process-global or worker-local RNG + +Rejected. Draw order then depends on traversal, parallelism, failures, and +retries. Semantic independently derived streams are required. + +### Let the backend choose/resample a realizable point + +Rejected. That makes apparatus feasibility the treatment selector and hides +selection bias. An unrealizable selected point fails admission/execution. + +### Use a shared mutable parameter/fact store + +Rejected. Values become time-dependent, retries observe different state, +authorization/redaction boundaries blur, and runtime discoveries can rewrite +pre-run intent. Plans are sealed; facts fill declared run-local sinks only. + +### Add a trial root schema or use scheduler jobs as trials + +Rejected. ADR-065/068 already establish one execution as one archival run. +Parallel roots would split identity and provenance. + +### Make the trial plan itself the archival run + +Rejected. A plan states admitted intent for zero or more future executions; a +run states what happened, including actual apparatus, evidence, results, and +deviations. + +## Consequences + +### Positive + +- Follow-on SDL, experiment, processor, runtime, backend, and APTL work shares + one lifecycle and identity model. +- Parallelism and retries cannot change the selected trial set. +- Existing composition, instantiation, run/study, apparatus, and provenance + incumbents are extended rather than duplicated. +- Failed/unrealizable selections remain scientifically visible. +- Static and variable-only SDL remain compatible. +- Adaptive and generated scenarios enter through explicit validity/provenance + boundaries. + +### Costs + +- Authors and tools must use typed point and selection profiles instead of + arbitrary templates or free-text randomization. +- Plans carry substantial input, profile, selection, apparatus, and admission + provenance. +- Implementations need canonicalization, budget enforcement, cross-artifact + validation, and cross-process schedule-permutation tests. +- True re-execution requires a new explicit coordinate rather than silently + reusing a run id. + +### Risks + +- Implementers may mistake ADR-070's witness seed for an RNG.

No current authority defines an ACES +noninterference obligation or makes it executable. API-408 retrieval views are +not participant authorization, DSL-111 injects have no participant delivery +semantics, and finite projected-history or conformance cases are not +bisimulation or universal information-flow proof. + +Issue #794 assessed this gap. The detailed evidence, requirement disposition, +and implementation graph are in +[`docs/research/participant-io-control/`](../../research/participant-io-control/index.md). + +## Decision + +### 1. Adopt one semantic policy boundary over existing carriers + +ACES SHALL adopt one coherent participant information-flow and control +boundary. "One boundary" means one set of policy coordinates, decisions, +ordering rules, and evidence obligations. It does not mean one transport, one +gateway process, one API endpoint, or one generic message schema. + +The boundary composes existing action, observation, lifecycle, context, +intervention, inject, history, evidence, provenance, audit, and backend +capability carriers by stable reference. It SHALL NOT introduce a second world +state, participant view, behavior history, lifecycle, visibility taxonomy, +relation registry, persistence store, or audit channel. + +### 2. Evaluate every crossing against an explicit coordinate tuple + +A governed crossing is evaluated at least over: + +```text +C = (participant, episode, direction, interaction_kind, + source, actor, controller, authority_basis, + action_or_projection_ref, observation_and_order_point, + time_and_order_model, policy_identity_and_revision, + markings, authorization, declassification, redaction_or_transformation, + disposition, backend_posture, evidence, provenance, loss_and_limitations) +``` + +The tuple is a semantic relation and evidence contract, not a payload bag. +Payloads remain typed existing carriers or controlled references. Required +coordinates fail closed when absent or unresolved; optional coordinates carry +an explicit not-applicable, unknown, unsupported, or loss state when their +owning vocabulary permits it. + +### 3. Keep crossing kinds distinct + +Ingress kinds include action proposal, constrained-form submission, +candidate selection, approval, denial, external direction, intervention, +handoff, override, cancellation, and participant-directed inject delivery. +Egress kinds include observation, context/decision-surface projection, +masked or redacted output, disclosure, delivery receipt, action result, and +bounded status/history projection. Audit and archival evidence are separate +audiences, not participant egress. + +These kinds share policy evaluation, order, disposition, provenance, and +evidence. They do not become one object. Approval is not execution; +presentation is not selection; selection is not admission; delivery is not +observation; and audit retention is not participant disclosure. + +An environment-directed inject remains an orchestration event. A +participant-directed inject preserves its DSL-111 orchestration identity and +is governed as participant disclosure/observation at delivery. If it directs +an action or changes control, it additionally binds the appropriate mixed- +control transition. + +### 4. Define labelled transitions and participant-relative hiding + +SEM-230 SHALL define a labelled transition system over existing participant +and runtime state. Labels identify at least proposal, approval/denial, +direction, intervention, handoff, override/cancellation, admission/rejection, +attempt/result, disclosure/withholding, transformation, delivery, observation, +policy change, and evidence/audit actions. + +Observable and hidden are relative to participant, audience, policy revision, +and observation/order point. They are not intrinsic booleans on a label. A +controller change may be hidden from one participant, visible to another, and +retained for an authorized audit surface. Any `tau` treatment SHALL name the +governed label set, closure, stuttering, divergence, and projection rules. + +The time/order model SHALL state whether it is sequential, total, partial, +causal, simultaneous, timed, or backend-serialized. Timestamp equality is not +an ordering rule. Stale approvals, concurrent interventions, policy changes, +and future disclosures are resolved at explicit order points. + +### 5. Keep information-flow operations independent + +- Authorization binds an authenticated actor to a subject and authority scope. +- Admission decides whether one action or crossing may proceed now. +- Withholding records intentional non-release. +- Projection and masking select participant-visible content. +- Redaction transforms an authorized representation; it does not grant access. +- Declassification changes release authority under an explicit what, who, + where, when, basis, and policy revision. +- Disclosure records an authorized release and its delivery evidence. +- Concealment and revocation affect future availability; they do not erase + prior knowledge. +- Loss and weakening describe unavailable fidelity or guarantees; neither is a + successful security transformation. + +Caller authorization, participant authority, action admission, visibility, +marking authorization, and declassification compose deny-first. No successful +gate widens a failed one. + +Transformations preserve source and result identity/digest, rule and revision, +actor/authority, reason, markings, provenance, evidence, and loss. Derived +content inherits source markings unless explicit declassification changes +them. A transformed action is a new proposal and receives fresh validation and +admission; it never inherits the source admission result. + +### 6. Adopt a precise noninterference claim surface, not a proof claim + +SEM-230 SHALL define `policy-noninterference` using named participant/policy +low-equivalence, purge or equivalent projection, permitted declassification +events, and policy revision sequence. For a fixed declared environment and +scheduler class, two low-equivalent initial states with the same admitted low +inputs and declassification schedule must produce the same set of participant- +projected low histories under the selected order model despite variations in +unauthorized high inputs. The definition SHALL state: + +- state, trace, input, environment, scheduler, and observation quantifiers; +- termination, progress, divergence, and timing sensitivity; +- nondeterministic, probabilistic, concurrent, and partial-order treatment; +- policy-change and declassification semantics; and +- the model/bound within which any executable result applies. + +The baseline design is termination- and progress-insensitive and does not +include wall-clock timing unless a stronger timed claim is selected. A claim +that needs those dimensions must adopt and evidence them explicitly rather +than inheriting them silently. + +`policy-noninterference` is distinct from projected-history equality, trace +inclusion/equivalence, simulation, data refinement, strong/weak bisimulation, +and epistemic indistinguishability. Those relations may be proof techniques or +separate claims only when their own carriers, projections, quantifiers, +assumptions, and evidence exist. A finite negative-leakage suite, passing +backend probes, or equal sampled histories remains bounded evidence. + +This ADR adopts the claim surface and assurance progression. It makes no +universal noninterference or bisimulation claim. + +### 7. Reuse the existing enforcement and evidence incumbents + +Future implementation SHALL reuse: + +- safe SDL loading, closed models, semantic validation, instantiation, and + post-instantiation validation; +- action contracts, observation boundaries, view timelines, compiler + addresses, and behavior histories; +- `ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest`, `ParticipantControlMixin`, participant + retrieval projections, `RuntimeSnapshot`, and `ControlPlaneStore`; +- strict control-plane authentication, role/target binding, request bounds, + idempotency/fingerprints, bounded diagnostics, redacted unexpected errors, + and `AuditEvent`; +- API-405/407 participant capability and feature-support declarations; +- `BackendConformanceReport`, existing fixture/target runners, and + `BehavioralClaimBindingModel`; and +- existing schema publication, concept authority, controlled vocabulary, and + compatibility gates. + +Unexpected errors must retain the redacted error envelope. Contracts, +diagnostics, audit, logs, and issue evidence carry safe identifiers, references, +digests, classifications, and bounded summaries, not credentials, hidden +payloads, policy bodies, raw rejected input, or environment dumps. + +### 8. Make backend support portable and fail closed + +API-407 SHALL declare governed participant-control feature identifiers, +support strength, limitations, disclosure references, and evidence criteria. +Support is not inferred from method presence. Missing required semantics reject +target selection or admission. A downgrade is permitted only when policy +authorizes it, provenance records it, affected audiences receive the required +disclosure, and stronger claims are removed. + +Reference runtime implementation, backend declaration, backend realization, +bounded conformance, model checking, and proof remain independent statuses. +Schema or method presence establishes none of the later statuses. + +### 9. Migrate in stages + +Existing scenarios and histories retain their historical meaning. Absence of a +new policy record means legacy/unknown/unsupported according to the migration +profile; it never implies exact enforcement or noninterference. ADR-061 governs +published-contract compatibility. Adoption proceeds through semantic +authority, authored bindings, contracts, runtime enforcement, backend support, +assurance, migration, and documentation in that order. + +## Consequences + +Positive: + +- Participant ingress, egress, intervention, and directed inject delivery gain + one reviewable policy and evidence model without forcing one transport. +- Security, realization, and behavioral claims become falsifiable and cannot + silently borrow strength from adjacent artifacts. +- Existing participant, runtime, observability, backend, and relation + authorities remain canonical. + +Negative: + +- Implementations must carry policy revisions, order coordinates, evidence, + provenance, markings, and explicit loss instead of convenient booleans or + metadata bags. +- Legacy records require explicit compatibility interpretation. +- Stronger relation claims remain visibly unproved until their models and + evidence exist. + +Risks: + +- A generic gateway DTO could duplicate existing carriers. +- Operator authorization could be confused with participant authority. +- Redaction could be misreported as authorization or declassification. +- Backend capability declarations could be mistaken for realization. +- Finite tests or model checks could be promoted beyond their bound. + +The implementation graph and structural acceptance manifest mitigate these +risks and are published with issue #794. + +## Non-Goals + +- Selecting or building a participant I/O gateway, transport, UI, model + provider, human-control service, or policy engine. +- Adding production SDL, schema, runtime, backend, or conformance behavior in + issue #794. +- Replacing accepted participant, runtime, observability, orchestration, + apparatus, backend-contract, or behavioral-relation authority. +- Claiming universal noninterference, trace inclusion, equivalence, + simulation, refinement, epistemic equivalence, or bisimulation. + +## References + +- Issue #794 +- [Current-state assessment](../../research/participant-io-control/current-state-assessment.md) +- [Detailed adoption design](../../research/participant-io-control/adoption-design.md) +- [Requirement disposition](../../research/participant-io-control/requirement-disposition.md) +- [Implementation program](../../research/participant-io-control/adoption-program.md) +- [ADR-022](adr-022-participant-behavior-and-interaction-semantics.md) +- [ADR-054](adr-054-participant-runtime-observable-lifecycle.md) +- [ADR-060](adr-060-participant-backend-facing-contract-surface.md) +- [ADR-081](adr-081-behavioral-relation-taxonomy-and-claim-discipline.md) +- [ADR-083](adr-083-participant-tool-decision-surface-and-exposure-semantics.md) diff --git a/docs/decisions/adrs/adr-index.yaml b/docs/decisions/adrs/adr-index.yaml index abdf6e25c..d34257e4d 100644 --- a/docs/decisions/adrs/adr-index.yaml +++ b/docs/decisions/adrs/adr-index.yaml @@ -315,7 +315,11 @@ adrs: summary: "Recorded SEM-225 run-level augmentation disclosure implementation coverage." - id: ADR-068 path: docs/decisions/adrs/adr-068-experiment-trials-replication-and-replay-claims.md - pin: 2cd46b67fb86a8d5d5c089e2b2f492a94e6141470706f33a2bb14d7268c49d02 + pin: 12e6d644f7a90d50956964d8f0608737f9b4d8c7627819419a69974184c2781f + amendments: + - date: 2026-07-15 + ref: "#652" + summary: "Clarified that an admitted plan entry preallocates the existing archival run identity and preserves experiment-owned selection without becoming a second trial/run record." - id: ADR-069 path: docs/decisions/adrs/adr-069-cage-2-replication-architecture.md pin: 305334e5558fb88d1f84317209f0e64d182714ba8e99cdeb5f6781bf3ee384f5 @@ -323,6 +327,13 @@ adrs: - date: 2026-07-08 ref: "#675" summary: "ADR-074 adds experiment-authoring-input-v1, giving REP-003 a pre-run home for execution-control facts;

Keep three independently revisioned concerns, following +the established related-work research bundle: + +1. **Preregistered protocol:** dimensions, constructs, personas, sampling and + experience bands, tasks and mutations, intended semantics, assistance and + tooling conditions, artifact stages, measures, thresholds, missing-data and + disagreement rules, validity threats, source pins, and amendments. +2. **Execution snapshot:** the exact ACES revision and public-document/tool + surface, pseudonymous attempts, bounded observations, submitted SDL, + production-stage outputs and diagnostics, reviewer judgments, deviations, + withdrawals or abandoned attempts, and preserved disagreements. +3. **Analysis and claim record:** recomputed measures, pass/fail disposition, + limitations, and ADR-021 evidence status with exact protocol and snapshot + references. + +Keep the non-normative bundle under the existing `docs/research/` convention, +in a dedicated language-evaluation directory. Do not publish it as an SDL JSON +Schema, add it to `aces_contracts`, or place research state in a runtime store. +If machine-readable records are used, one focused offline checker owns their +closed shape and cross-record invariants. It should reuse, or extract for reuse, +the bounded duplicate-key JSON-loading and safe-path idiom already used by +`tools/check_related_work_comparison.py`; it must not copy a second generic +schema/exception/logging framework. + +The following constructs remain separate. A result in one column is not a +proxy for another. + +| Dimension | Boundary | +| --- | --- | +| Expressiveness | Whether the declared experimental meaning is representable, not whether parsing succeeds or every possible field exists. | +| Comprehension/usability | Whether a stated persona can understand and use the public surface under a declared assistance condition, not feature breadth or maintainer familiarity. | +| Effectiveness/productivity | Task outcome, effort, error and rework measures against preregistered criteria, not elapsed time alone or a self-report alone. | +| Maintainability/evolution | Whether a controlled change preserves, changes, or invalidates declared meaning with visible migration status, not mere editability. | +| Ambiguity | Whether one artifact has more than one materially defensible meaning or two intended-equivalent authorings diverge undetected, not ordinary syntax flexibility. | +| Diagnostic quality | Whether bounded public diagnostics locate and explain a defect and guide a valid repair, not merely whether an exception occurred. | +| Reviewability | Whether an independent reviewer can identify meaning, changes, assumptions and information boundaries, not author-reviewer agreement by itself. | +| Semantic traceability | Whether intent can be followed through authored, expanded, instantiated, compiled and planned artifacts without backend-private interpretation, not path or digest presence alone. | + +Scenario completeness profiles, validation/admission strength, semantic +coverage, backend conformance, researcher accessibility, and language adequacy +are related but distinct claims. In particular, `valid-sdl-fragment` or an +implemented scientific-completeness row does not demonstrate language +adequacy; issue #346 must not revise those profile meanings or store its result +as a new profile status. + +ADR-021 evidence status is also not Ground Control requirement status, ADR +status, task outcome, attempt completion, review/adjudication status, or +validation strength. Store and report each axis independently. Likewise, call +a human who authors or reviews study material a `subject` or `reviewer`; reserve +`participant` for the SDL participant/agent concept. A study subject is not an +ACES participant implementation or participant-semantics record. + +## Protocol And Evidence Guardrails + +- Freeze all six issue personas as stable ids: benchmark designer, scenario + author, participant-model author, backend implementer, evaluator/reviewer, + and assurance auditor. Record relevant experience and assistance as bounded + bands, not names, employers, free-form biographies, or a claim that one + maintainer represents a population. +- Derive representative tasks from the already cited cyber-range/agent corpus, + the frozen tasks in `docs/research/related-work-comparison/protocol-v1.json`, + the participant-semantics obligations, and current non-trivial ACES examples. + Preserve a source locator and derivation rationale. Do not substitute a + hand-picked minimal example or the test-local `LanguageEvaluation` oracle for + the issue's task corpus. +- Preregister positive, negative, unsupported, underspecified, and deliberately + ambiguous cases. A negative case has one injected defect. Record + `invalid`, `unsupported`, `underspecified`, and `profile-dependent` as + different outcomes; none may be rewritten as another after observing tool or + participant performance. +- Separate the sealed intended-semantics record from material supplied to an + independent reviewer. Reviewers receive only the preregistered public + artifacts for their condition. Reveal intent for scoring/adjudication only + after the judgment is fixed, and preserve disagreement instead of replacing + it with consensus prose. +- Predeclare the unit of analysis, denominators, thresholds, assistance, + repetitions, task order/counterbalancing, time/error/rework capture, + exclusion and missing-data handling, and stopping rule. Missing, abandoned, + withdrawn, or tool-failed attempts remain in the denominator according to + that rule; post-hoc task or threshold selection is a failed protocol. +- Actual human participation requires the applicable institutional ethics, + consent, privacy, and data-protection review before collection. Commit only + the public projection authorized by that review: normally aggregate records, + or specifically approved minimized study-local pseudonyms with no linkage + key in the repository. Pseudonymized data is not anonymous data. Names, email + addresses, recordings, raw chats/prompts, keystroke streams, and unrestricted + free text belong outside the repository in an approved controlled store, if + collected at all. Simulated personas, maintainers, or agent walkthroughs are + exploratory evidence and cannot support a generalized usability or + productivity claim. +- Every tool-assisted attempt pins the ACES commit/release, source profile, + canonicalization profile, contract ids, public documentation paths, tool and + adapter, assistance condition, and parameters. Backend source, private + prompts, undocumented conventions, or manual repair after scoring cannot be + silent inputs. +- Every public claim retains ADR-021 threats, falsification criteria, named + evidence, and one of `untested`, `partial`, `demonstrated`, or `refuted`. + A preregistered protocol without completed independent evidence remains + `untested` or `partial`. + +## Semantic Identity And Mutation Boundary + +Each task or mutation must declare the relation it expects and the artifact +stage on which that relation is observed. Do not use a generic `equivalent` +flag. + +- Source-format variants may be expected to converge only after explicit + migration and strict reparse. +- Authoring-meaning equivalence may be checked with + `canonical_sdl_bytes()`/`canonical_sdl_digest()` only after expansion and + semantic validation. +- Concrete equivalence after parameter binding uses admitted instantiated + snapshots and `canonical_instantiated_sdl_digest()`. +- Processor-facing traceability uses canonical addresses and typed output from + `compile_runtime_model()` and `plan()`. +- Reviewer equivalence is a separate observation with its own rubric and + disagreement record. + +Digest equality proves identity under the named canonicalization profile. It +does not prove behavioral, observational, epistemic, strategic, backend, or +scientific equivalence. Conversely, a source-byte or formatting difference is +not automatically a semantic difference. A mutation that changes hidden +assets, participant visibility, observations, outcomes, action meaning, +realization posture, or experiment controls must be assessed at the owning +semantic/artifact stage; it must not be hidden by comparing only a topology or +plan summary. + +Maintenance exercises also pin source and target surface versions and the +claimed compatibility dimension from ADR-075: structural, semantic, +behavioral, or operational. A migration that parses is not thereby +meaning-preserving. Preserve invalidation, lossy/ambiguous migration, and +replacement status explicitly. + +## Canonical Incumbents To Reuse + +| Concern | Canonical incumbent and required boundary | +| --- | --- | +| Authority and claims | ADR-009/019, `specs/authority/authority-boundary.yaml`, ADR-021, and the documentation style guide. Research reports evidence; it does not define SDL meaning or promote a claim from prose. | +| Research bundle and sources | `docs/research/related-work-comparison/`, issue-728's protocol/snapshot/analysis split, `tools/check_related_work_comparison.py`, ADR-080, the SDL lineage ledger, and the source-audit/search-log patterns.

Keep human subjects/reviewers separate from SDL participants, and do not promote the test-local dataclass into a contract. | +| Authoring corpus | `examples/scenarios/`, `examples/library/catalog.yaml`, `test_sdl_realworld.py`, `test_sdl_stress.py`, `enterprise-participant-evidence-loop.sdl.yaml`, and the related-work tasks. Reuse these by reference where suitable; invalid evaluation cases do not belong in the positive example corpus. | +| Concrete syntax and shape | `sdl-yaml/v1`, `SDLParserLimits`, `_SDLSafeLoader`, mapping-key analysis, `parse_sdl()`/`parse_sdl_file()`, closed `Scenario`/`InstantiatedScenario` models, and the checked-in SDL schemas and source-profile fixtures. The normalized schema is not a raw-YAML validator. | +| Static semantics | `SemanticValidator`, `specs/sdl/references.md`, `specs/sdl/diagnostics.md`, shared declaration/reference indexes, and fail-closed ambiguity/uniqueness/graph rules. Do not implement evaluation-only acceptance or reference resolution. | +| Tools and diagnostics | SDL CLI formatting/import verification; MCP authoring, language-service, inspection, design-assessment and claims-assessment tools; `SDLParseDiagnostic`, `SDLParseError`, `SDLValidationError`, `SDLInstantiationError`, `Diagnostic`, and `Severity`. Record the exact public entrypoint and mode: parse-only summaries are not semantic validation, inspection tools deliberately skip semantic validation, prose authoring responses are not structured language-service diagnostics, and stub planning is not backend evidence. | +| Phase traceability | `instantiate_scenario()`, `admit_instantiated_scenario()`, canonical SDL/snapshot profiles, `compile_runtime_model()`, the reference processor, `plan()`, canonical addresses, and pipeline-determinism tests. Compare typed artifacts, not raw dictionaries or backend labels. | +| Evolution | ADR-053/075/078, module/import/lock/trust handling, `specs/evolution/`, migration diagnostics, deprecation records, and canonical phase identities. Do not add an evaluation-specific version or migration registry. | +| Experiment method | ADR-055/064/065/068/074 and existing metric, evaluation-protocol, validity-note, factor, allocation, analysis, evidence, and study concepts. Reuse their meanings and validators when a record is genuinely an instance; do not mislabel a human authoring attempt as an `ExperimentRunModel` or weaken those contracts to fit this study. | +| Workflow and reporting | `.ground-control.yaml`, `.gc/plan-rules.md`, `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, ADR-014, `noxfile.py`, `SessionReporter`, repository policy, contract checks, Sphinx, `tools/verify_all.py`, private-key detection, and gitleaks. Wire any focused checker once into the canonical graph consumed by `.github/workflows/ci.yml`; do not add a parallel CI workflow. | + +There is no new controller, HTTP DTO, service, runtime repository, or mutable +persistence layer in the intended design. `RuntimeControlPlane`, +`ControlPlaneStore`, runtime snapshots, audit events, and backend operation +envelopes are not stores for author/reviewer study state. + +## Cross-Cutting Validation, Security, And Operational Layers + +1. **Research-file gate:** load fixed checked-in protocol/snapshot/analysis data + as inert content. Reject duplicate or unknown fields and ids, dangling refs, + duplicate attempts, missing required persona/task/mutation coverage, unsafe + paths, unpinned sources/toolchains, unbounded files/counts, stale derived + output, and secret-bearing URI userinfo or query parameters. Resolve every + repository path with `safe_repo_path`. +2. **SDL source gate:** every authored attempt enters through the production + UTF-8 and `SDLParserLimits` checks, YAML 1.2 Core resolver, safe loader, + tag/directive rejection, scalar/input/depth/node/alias/composition limits, + duplicate and normalized-key collision checks, string-keyed JSON-domain + validation, and explicit source/migration profile. No pre-parse YAML + round-trip or evaluation-only loader is allowed. +3. **Model/schema gate:** construct the existing closed SDL models and, where + schema conformance is claimed, validate the correctly phased JSON payload + against the checked-in published schema. Do not use generated schema output + as authority, create a study-specific SDL DTO, or treat schema acceptance as + semantic success. +4. **Semantic/composition gate:** run `SemanticValidator` with collect-all, + fail-closed reference, ambiguity, uniqueness, graph, profile and redaction + rules. Imported scenarios additionally retain base confinement, lockfile, + registry allowlist, version, digest, signature, export, namespace, cycle and + composition-budget checks. The evaluation observes these results; it never + bypasses or reclassifies them. +5. **Instantiation/processor gate:** when a task claims later-stage fidelity, + use existing instantiation/admission, canonicalization, compiler, reference + processor and planner entry points. Preserve diagnostics and unsupported or + degraded output. Never infer machine distinction from a filename, raw YAML + dictionary, backend-private field, or hand-built summary. +6. **Tool-adapter/config gate:** public MCP authoring/language/inspection paths + retain their 64 KiB adapter limits; direct parser limits remain the library + bound. Source format, migration policy, task condition, and assistance level + are explicit protocol inputs, not ambient environment switches. Add no + runtime config, listener, daemon, profile selector, or auth bypass. The + exact public adapter response is evidence for that adapter condition; do not + inspect an internal exception or model to silently enrich, repair, or + reinterpret a public response. +7. **Authentication and information-boundary gate:** the offline evaluation + adds no endpoint and traverses no control-plane authorization surface. If a + future service exposes results, it must reuse + `ControlPlaneSecurityConfig.strict_defaults()`, verified identity, + target-bound roles, request-size/idempotency/fingerprint guards, audit + events, and redacted internal errors. Reviewer blinding and hidden-intent + separation are study information boundaries, not bearer-token roles. +8. **Secret and privacy gate:** use synthetic scenario facts or already + governed public examples. Authoritative SDL can legitimately contain + exercise credentials under ADR-057, but published study projections, + diagnostics, locations, task metadata, subject/reviewer records, and logs must + never contain real operator credentials, tokens, private keys, environment + dumps, absolute host paths, hidden answers, private prompts, raw backend + objects, or unrestricted subject text. Normalize public locations to + repository-relative paths or task artifact ids. Explicit + `redacted`/`operator_secret` omission rules remain enforced; a digest is not + redaction, and a pseudonymization linkage key never belongs in the bundle. +9. **OS, network, and supply-chain gate:** the study checker and reproduction + path perform no live study-source or OCI import fetch, compared-project code + execution, backend deployment, shell evaluation, privileged host access, or + secret-bearing argv. Existing nox/CI may bootstrap its already-governed, + pinned tools; issue #346 adds no downloader or executable dependency. Any + separately approved behavioral execution uses a pinned, resource-bounded + isolated apparatus with no repository/operator secrets and records only + bounded, redacted evidence. It must not become a default CI dependency. +10. **Error-envelope and observability gate:** preserve SDL diagnostic code, + stage, severity, bounded message, path/range and related locations when the + selected public entrypoint emits them; absence is a diagnostic-quality + observation, not permission to synthesize fields from internals. Preserve + every processor `Diagnostic` field that is emitted. Research-integrity + failures use bounded `PolicyFailure` records and `SessionReporter`. Do not + add an issue-specific exception hierarchy, logger or telemetry stream, and + do not dump source, parameter maps, raw responses, Pydantic input, + tracebacks or environment state. +11. **Persistence and integrity gate:** Git-tracked protocol, sanitized + execution snapshot, analysis, source log and checksums are the durable + public record. Raw human-subject data, if any, follows its approved external + retention boundary. Add no database, mutable cache, object store, runtime + metadata field, audit blob, or result registry. + +## Whole-Repository Scope + +The implementation must review and, only where evidence requires it, reference +the canonical SDL prose and contracts; source-profile and conformance fixtures; +positive examples and test-only stress/real-world corpora; participant, +information-boundary, observability and outcome semantics; phase identities, +compiler/planner artifacts and determinism tests; language-service, CLI and MCP +authoring/inspection surfaces; scientific-completeness and validation-strength +profiles; evolution and deprecation policy; lineage/source records; research +bundle conventions; and the `.ground-control.yaml` / `.gc/plan-rules.md` / +`.pre-commit-config.yaml` / `noxfile.py` / `.github/workflows/ci.yml` canonical +policy, contracts, tests, docs, private-key, and secret-scanning graph. + +It must not edit those owning surfaces merely to make the evaluation pass. +Every ambiguity, unsupported expression, backend-private assumption, +diagnostic failure, reviewer disagreement, migration failure, missing attempt, +or information-boundary leak is an evidence gap. A product correction belongs +to a separately scoped issue and the owning parser/spec/contract/test surface; +the original failed observation remains in the frozen snapshot. + +## Extensibility Seam + +The stable observation join is: + +```text +(protocol_revision, study_run_id, task_id, persona_id, subject_id, + tooling_condition_id, attempt_id, variant_id, artifact_stage) +``` + +`subject_id` is pseudonymous and local to the controlled study; it appears in a +public snapshot only when the applicable review permits that minimized +projection, and never with its linkage key. Dimensions, personas, tasks, +tooling/assistance conditions, variants/mutations, artifact stages, and measures +are protocol data with stable ids, not Python enums or table columns. +The obvious next variation—a new persona, tool surface, SDL/profile revision, +task, mutation family, or independent-review wave—adds catalog records and a +new execution snapshot. A changed construct, rubric, threshold, sampling rule, +or task meaning creates a protocol revision. A source/tool refresh creates a +new snapshot. Neither requires editing SDL models, contracts, controllers, +repositories, exception types, or the prior frozen evidence. + +## Gotchas And Anti-Patterns + +Avoid: + +- inferring adequacy from schema completeness, successful parsing, accepted + ADRs, formal prose, example count, field count, or one author's success; +- allowing `structural_only`, parse-only inspection, migration acceptance, or + stub-backend planning to masquerade as full semantic or behavioral evidence; +- treating all author variation as ambiguity, or author-selectable specificity + as permission for materially different hidden semantics; +- treating reviewer agreement as correctness, disagreement as documentation + debt, or adjudicated consensus as the original independent result; +- treating canonical digest equality as behavioral equivalence, a changed + digest as proof of material change, or a stable plan summary as proof that + participant visibility/outcome meaning was preserved; +- collapsing invalid, unsupported, underspecified, profile-dependent, + not-observed, not-applicable, missing and withdrawn outcomes; +- collapsing ADR-021 evidence status with requirement, ADR, validation, + attempt, task-outcome, or review status, or treating a human study subject as + an SDL participant/participant implementation; +- scoring diagnostics by message substring alone while ignoring stable code, + stage, severity, locator, repair outcome and leakage; +- recording only successful attempts, allowing private source inspection, + changing assistance mid-task, or omitting learning/order effects; +- committing identifiable participant data, raw recordings/chats/prompts, + pseudonym linkage keys, absolute host paths, hidden answer material, real + credentials, unrestricted third-party text, or source/backend dumps; +- putting invalid study artifacts in `examples/scenarios/`, turning research + cases into normative fixtures, or using the research bundle as the only + regression for a discovered defect; +- adding a DSL-evaluation schema to `contracts/`, extending experiment-core or + completeness contracts with study-local fields, or creating a second source + registry, parser, validator, exception tree, logger, persistence store, or CI + workflow; +- allowing an imported task to perform a live OCI fetch during offline + reproduction, or bypassing a public tool adapter to improve its observed + diagnostics; and +- silently repairing the language during the evidence run and replacing the + falsifying snapshot with post-fix results. + +## Non-Goals And Implementation Boundaries + +- Do not add or change SDL syntax, schemas, semantics, diagnostics, examples, + compiler/planner behavior, backends, profiles, or migration behavior in this + issue merely to improve the result. +- Do not implement participant behavior, authoring specificity, formal + validation/reachability, standardized scenario coverage, or researcher + accessibility work owned by #71, #73, #168, #164, or #178. +- Do not claim scientific adequacy, broad usability, productivity, domain + validity, backend independence, reproducibility, or maintainability beyond + the exact preregistered population, tasks, conditions, versions and evidence. +- Do not deploy a range, execute participant actions, evaluate model quality, + recruit participants without applicable review/consent, or establish a + production telemetry/analytics service. +- Do not create a new normative ADR, formal semantics, contract family, API, + controller, service, repository, database, UI, or migration system.

It is guidance only: it +does not add SDL syntax, contracts, schemas, generators, schedulers, runtime +fact behavior, persistence, or scenario content. + +## Binding Authority And Current Gaps + +- ADR-036 owns package boundaries. `aces_sdl` owns SDL composition, + instantiation, and language semantics; `aces_processor` owns deterministic + compilation, admission, and planning; `aces_runtime` owns live execution; + `aces_contracts` owns portable cross-package DTOs. Authoring adapters and + backends must not acquire parallel semantics. +- ADR-053 makes module composition typed, trusted, deterministic, and complete + before downstream selection. ADR-076 keeps canonical declaration identities + independent of source layout. ADR-078 requires closed, disjoint authoring, + expanded, instantiated, and snapshot forms. +- SDL `Variable`, `${name}`, `instantiate_scenario()`, + `InstantiationProvenance`, and the instantiated snapshot already own scalar + parameter binding. SCE-002 must extend that path rather than add a template + language or a second binder. +- ADR-055/068/074 and `ExperimentSpecModel`, `ExperimentRunPlanModel`, + `ExperimentRunAllocationPlanModel`, `ExperimentStudyFactorModel`, + `ExperimentParameterModel`, `ExperimentStochasticControlModel`, + `ExperimentRunModel`, and `ExperimentStudyModel` already own experiment + intent, factors, allocation, stochastic-control disclosure, archival runs, + and study analysis. +- ADR-065 makes `experiment-run-v1` the archival provenance join point. One + executed trial is one run record; a planned-trial artifact must not become a + second archival run identity or provenance graph. +- ADR-070 and `aces_contracts.realization_envelope` supply reusable bounded + domain descriptors and backend membership/subsumption semantics. A scenario + validity domain, an experiment selection policy, and a backend realizability + envelope are nevertheless three different authorities. ADR-070 remains + `proposed`; #652 must not silently treat its status as accepted or broaden its + expression fragment without an explicit decision. +- The existing experiment fields are not yet an executable randomization + contract. `allocation_method`, `randomization_unit`, `replication_policy`, + and stopping rules are descriptive strings; + `ExperimentStochasticControlModel` does not define a generator, stream + derivation, or draw semantics. `WitnessPolicy.seed` explicitly records a + basis but introduces no randomness. None of these may be treated as a + schedule-independent trial compiler by convention. + +A focused #652 architecture decision must make the choices below normative +before follow-on contract or implementation work. It should amend ADR-068 and +ADR-074 where planned run identity and admitted-plan input semantics are +clarified, and reconcile ADR-070's status rather than duplicate it. + +## One Pipeline And One Authority Per Boundary + +| Boundary | Named authority | Input | Immutable output | Provenance rule | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Module composition | `aces_sdl.composition` and `module_registry` | Root SDL plus locked/trusted imports | `ExpandedScenario` with typed expansion provenance | Preserve declared import order, namespaces, module identities, checkout-independent sources, digests, exports, signer identity, and resolved module bindings per ADR-078. | +| Scenario-family declaration | SDL normative prose/schema/model and semantic validator | Composed authored scenario with named bounded variation points | Semantically valid expanded scenario family | Variation-point ids are stable canonical symbols; imported ids are namespace-qualified during composition; selected values never rename declarations. | +| Experiment design | `experiment-authoring-input-v1` and existing experiment-core models | Task/scenario-family refs, factors, allocation, typed selection and stochastic policies | Closed `ExperimentSpecModel` authoring artifact | Bind every factor/policy target to a declared variation-point id and pin referenced artifact identities/versions/digests where the existing ref model permits. Do not copy SDL declarations into the experiment document. | +| Trial-set compilation and admission | `aces_processor`, using neutral DTOs from `aces_contracts` | Admitted experiment spec, composed family, task, apparatus intent/manifests/envelopes, and explicit compiler/RNG profiles | One closed, canonical, immutable admitted trial-plan artifact | Record all input refs/digests, compiler profile, RNG/stream profile, logical trial coordinates, selected bindings, factor assignments, apparatus/envelope bindings, and bounded admission diagnostics. No plan is emitted when any entry is impossible, invalid, or unrealizable against its selected apparatus. | +| Trial realization | `aces_processor` orchestration over public `aces_sdl` APIs | One admitted plan entry plus the exact composed family it pins | Admitted `InstantiatedScenario`, canonical snapshot, then existing compiled runtime model/plans | Apply only plan-recorded structural selections and scalar bindings, call ordinary `instantiate_scenario()`/`admit_instantiated_scenario()`, and preserve selection-to-instantiation provenance. No private binder or validation bypass may mint a result. | +| Runtime fact binding | `aces_runtime` over typed neutral fact DTOs and compiled late-binding slots | Admitted compiled artifact, authorized observations/secret references | Run-local bound operation/action input plus fact-binding provenance | Facts may fill only explicitly declared late-bound sinks. Source, type, scope, freshness, sensitivity, and evidence/provenance refs are recorded; raw secrets are not. Facts cannot alter plan identity, factors, topology, structural choice, or stochastic streams. | +| Backend realization and scheduling | Existing planner/runtime/backend protocols; scheduler is an external consumer | Admitted per-trial compiled plans and selected apparatus bindings | Existing operation receipts/status, runtime snapshots, and realization disclosures | Planner applies realization-envelope membership and manifest capability checks. A scheduler may place, delay, pause, or retry admitted work under policy, but cannot select or resample scenario meaning. Backend refusal or availability change is a failure/deviation, not permission to choose another trial. | +| Archival provenance | `ExperimentRunModel`, `ExperimentStudyModel`, and existing cross-artifact validators | Sealed execution/evidence plus the admitted plan/snapshot refs | One run per executed trial and one study/allocation record | The planned run id becomes the archival `run_id` if execution starts. Runs carry actual parameter/stochastic/apparatus facts, snapshot identity, realized-form disclosures, evidence, deviations, and lineage to the plan/spec. Studies retain factor/allocation meaning. | + +The admitted trial plan is an execution-intent artifact, not a scheduler queue, +live operation record, run, study, or apparatus observation. Its per-entry id is +a preallocated run identity under a versioned identity profile, not a second +kind of archival trial id. An idempotent transport retry before execution may +reuse it; a genuine re-execution after execution starts requires a newly +admitted run identity and produces a distinct run record. + +## Variation And Reproducibility Guardrails + +- Reuse the closed `DomainDescriptor` primitives where their value semantics + fit: exact values, finite enums, booleans, bounded numeric intervals, + governed references, and acyclic products. Keep SDL `Variable` as the scalar + substitution carrier. Do not fork value typing or membership rules. +- Scenario-family structure needs a closed discriminated variation-point + family, not JSON Patch or callbacks. The admitted kinds may cover one-of + alternatives, bounded subsets, constrained order, and logical timing in + addition to scalar/reference binding. Every alternative is declared, + bounded, addressable, and independently semantically valid when selected. +- Composition resolves the complete declaration graph before selection. + Selection may choose among declared members but may not import a new module, + query an external catalog, execute code, create declaration keys from values, + or mutate arbitrary JSON paths. +- Logical attack order and scenario timing are scenario/trial semantics. + Worker launch order, queue latency, host wall time, retry backoff, and batch + placement are scheduler/apparatus facts and cannot satisfy those variation + points. +- Backend realizability cannot take authority from experiment selection. First + validate a selection against the scenario-family domain; then prove the + selected instance/requested family is within the selected backend envelope. + An unrealizable point fails admission. Do not silently clamp, substitute, + drop, or resample it. +- A mandatory random-stream profile must name the generator algorithm and + version, seed encoding, canonical input encoding, semantic stream-address + derivation, and distribution/sampling transformations. A seed alone is not a + replay claim. +- Stream addresses derive from immutable semantic coordinates such as the + experiment/spec identity, logical trial coordinate, variation-point or + policy id, and draw purpose. They must never include worker id, process id, + thread id, host, wall time, map iteration order, completion order, or retry + count. +- Each concern receives an independent derived stream. Adding a draw for one + variation point must not perturb another point's result. Serial, parallel, + reversed-worker, and different-batch executions of the same admitted inputs + must produce byte-identical trial plans. +- Canonical map traversal is by canonical identifier. Semantically ordered SDL + lists retain their declared/selected order; a serializer must not sort away a + meaningful order to manufacture determinism. +- Failure is deterministic and fail-closed. Constraint exhaustion, empty + subset/order domains, invalid alternatives, duplicate coordinates, and + apparatus mismatch produce bounded diagnostics and no admitted plan. A + concurrency race or retry must not advance or replace a stream. + +## Required Incumbents And Cross-Cutting Reuse + +- **Normative authority and publication:** ADR-009/019/061, + `specs/authority/authority-boundary.yaml`, `contracts/schemas/`, + `contracts/fixtures/`, `contracts/schema-publication-manifest.json`, + `schema_bundle()`, `tools/generate_contract_schemas.py`, + `tools/check_schema_publication.py`, `tools/check_generated_schemas.py`, and + `tools/check_json_artifacts.py`. Portable trial-plan or fact contracts use + `ContractModel(extra="forbid")`, generated parity, positive/negative fixtures, + and `x-aces-invariants` for cross-artifact rules. +- **SDL ingress and phases:** `load_sdl_yaml`, source and composition budgets, + duplicate/mapping-key checks, `Scenario`, `ExpandedScenario`, + `InstantiatedScenario`, `SemanticValidator`, `instantiate_scenario()`, + `admit_instantiated_scenario()`, `InstantiationProvenance`, RFC 8785/JCS + snapshot canonicalization, and `SDLParseError` / `SDLValidationError` / + `SDLInstantiationError`. +- **Composition supply chain:** `ImportDecl`, `ModuleDescriptor`, + `resolve_import()`, path confinement, cycle/collision checks, lock and digest + pins, export hashes, trust policy, signature verification, and bounded OCI + extraction. A trial compiler consumes verified expansion provenance; it does + not resolve imports itself. +- **Experiment semantics:** the existing authoring-input, task, apparatus, + parameter, stochastic-control, factor, allocation, run, study, traceability, + evidence, and realized-form models plus + `validate_experiment_run_against_task()` and + `validate_experiment_study_against_tasks_and_runs()`. Extend these owning + contracts with typed children where needed; do not add parallel task, + allocation, parameter, run, or study DTOs. +- **Processing and realization:** `aces_processor.compiler`, planner capability + checks, manifests, `RuntimeModel`, typed plan DTOs, `Diagnostic`/`Severity`, + and realization-envelope `member()`/`subsumes()`. The conformance + `witness()` helper may share domain primitives but is not the experiment RNG + or allocation engine. +- **Runtime, persistence, and observation:** existing backend protocols, + `OperationReceipt`, `OperationStatus`, `RuntimeSnapshot`, + `ControlPlaneStore`, audit events, experiment evidence records, and run + provenance. Live snapshots/operation details remain mutable control state; + they are not a trial-plan store or archival fact ledger. +- **Workflow and tests:** ADR-014, `.ground-control.yaml`, + `.gc/plan-rules.md`, `noxfile.py`, `SessionReporter`, package-boundary policy, + `test_pipeline_determinism.py`, realization-envelope Hypothesis properties, + SDL phase/schema fixtures, experiment-contract fixtures, runtime contract + tests, and control-plane security tests. Add schedule-permutation and + cross-process/hash-seed witnesses to these canonical suites rather than a + second CI workflow. + +## Security And Whole-Path Gates + +1. **SDL source and composition gate.** Family input passes bounded + `sdl-yaml/v1` decoding, safe YAML construction, duplicate/canonical-key and + JSON-domain checks, closed models, module trust/lock/digest/signature checks, + namespace rewriting, whole-scenario semantic validation, selection, + instantiation, and concrete semantic revalidation. No later layer may accept + raw SDL dictionaries or skip these gates. +2. **Experiment/config shape gate.** Experiment and admitted-plan inputs pass + closed `ContractModel`/published-schema validation plus owning cross-artifact + validators. `parse_experiment_spec()` currently uses `yaml.safe_load`, and + the MCP wrapper adds a 64 KiB limit, but the loader has no SDL-equivalent + duplicate-key/source-profile gate and renders raw Pydantic/YAML error text. + New remote or execution-facing SCE ingress must not inherit that leakage; + either admit JSON/model artifacts after a bounded parser or harden the one + canonical experiment loader rather than add another loader. +3. **Authentication and authorization gate.** No new HTTP endpoint is required + for these contracts. Any later compile/admit/execute or fact-read endpoint + must reuse `ControlPlaneSecurityConfig.strict_defaults()`, bearer or + verified-proxy identity, operator/backend/auditor role checks, target scope, + request-size guards, idempotency keys/fingerprints, and append-only audit + events. Artifact dereference and secret resolution are separately authorized + reads, not implied by permission to read a plan summary. +4. **Secret-handling gate.** Reuse `ExperimentParameterModel` redaction rules, + SDL `redacted`/`operator_secret` omission validators, ADR-056/057, artifact + sensitivity, and evidence redaction/loss disclosure. Secret variation values + are references only and cannot be factor levels, condition-assignment values, + random seeds, identity material, canonical digests, portable binding values, + plan entries, fixtures, or diagnostics. Resolve a secret reference only at + its authorized run-local sink. +5. **Environment/config binding gate.** No ambient environment variable, + process-global RNG, worker-local config, backend default, mutable parameter + store, or hidden fact source may affect selection. If an environment value is + desired scenario state, it uses the existing typed runtime-environment shape + and sensitivity/origin validators; if discovered at runtime, it uses an + explicit typed late-binding slot and cannot enter scenario identity. +6. **OS/process exposure gate.** Keep selection and binding in-process over + typed DTOs or bounded files/stdin. Never put credentials, parameter maps, + fact values, tokens, raw plans, or secret refs in process argv; never use + `shell=True` or interpolation. Fixed-argv determinism witnesses may expose + only safe paths/profile ids and canonical digests. +7. **Backend admission gate.** Existing manifest authority, processor/backend + compatibility, capability profiles, realization-envelope membership or + subsumption, typed planning diagnostics, and target conformance all remain + mandatory. A successful SDL selection is not proof of deployability, and a + backend default is not an experiment selection. +8. **Error-envelope gate.** Structural failures remain at their owning parser + or contract boundary; SDL binding failures use the existing SDL exceptions; + processor admission/planning uses addressed `Diagnostic` values; HTTP keeps + its redacted 500 envelope. Report codes, stages, safe canonical paths, ids, + counts, and domain kinds only. Never render supplied/selected values, + allowed domains, parameter/fact maps, rejected documents, raw Pydantic + inputs, backend objects, environment dumps, or tracebacks. +9. **Logging/observability gate.** Reuse module-local logging and existing + operation/audit reporting. Log only safe ids, digests, profile versions, + counts, stage outcomes, and durations. Random draws, secret/fact values, raw + bindings, scenarios, plans, and evidence bodies are not telemetry. A run's + inspectable scientific record remains the experiment provenance/evidence + graph, not logs. +10. **Persistence/distribution gate.** The admitted plan is a sealed portable + artifact identified by canonical digest. Do not place it or its bindings in + `RuntimeSnapshot.metadata`, `ControlPlaneOperationRecord.details`, an audit + blob, tags, or a new mutable parameter database. Runtime state uses + `ControlPlaneStore`; archival outcomes use run/study/evidence contracts. A + future artifact service must preserve immutable bytes/digests and reuse the + control-plane security patterns without turning the per-target store into an + experiment repository. + +## Extensibility Seam + +The required seam is a versioned pair of closed profiles: + +- a variation-point/selection-policy discriminated union whose domain members + are addressed by stable canonical ids; and +- a random-stream profile whose semantic address and generator/draw versions + are explicit inputs to trial-set compilation. + +A new bounded variation kind, allocation policy, or generator version extends +one owning union/profile and its validator/fixture/property-test dispatch. It +does not require editing every scenario, backend, scheduler, or run schema. +Generator changes mint a new profile and provenance value; they never silently +change the output of an existing profile. Runtime facts have a separate seam: +typed source and sink kinds with sensitivity/freshness/evidence metadata. Adding +a new fact source must not widen which compiled sinks are late-bindable. + +## Gotchas And Anti-Patterns + +Avoid: + +- calling `random`, `secrets`, UUID, wall time, hash iteration, or a backend + callback during semantic trial selection without the governed stream profile; +- treating a common seed as sufficient replay provenance or sharing one mutable + RNG across trials/variation points; +- using `WitnessPolicy.seed` or realization-envelope witness generation as the + trial randomizer; +- free-text allocation/randomization fields driving execution directly; +- resampling after backend rejection, worker failure, timeout, or resource + contention; +- arbitrary templates, JSON/YAML patches, callbacks, expressions, external + queries, unbounded distributions, or a shared mutable parameter/fact store; +- generating declaration ids from selected values or putting selections in + source paths, namespaces, compiled addresses, or task identity; +- letting runtime observations retroactively alter a trial's factors, run id, + scenario snapshot, compiled topology, structural alternatives, or streams; +- putting experiment concepts in a new SDL root object, or SDL declarations in + a duplicate experiment schema; +- treating trial plans as runs, scheduler jobs, operation receipts, runtime + snapshots, studies, or replay guarantees; +- adding a duplicate schema registry, loader, validator, exception hierarchy, + diagnostic envelope, persistence repository, logger, audit stream, or CI + workflow; and +- exposing raw parameters/facts through current `ExperimentSpecValidationError` + rendering, MCP summaries, HTTP errors, logs, fixtures, argv, or provenance. + +## Non-Goals And Implementation Boundaries + +- This preflight does not implement SCE-002, modify schemas/models, choose a + concrete PRNG, define scenario content, or publish an implementation plan. +- SCE-002 does not create an experiment scheduler, batch executor, worker pool, + persistence service, HTTP API, secret manager, general expression language, + optimizer, adaptive-difficulty policy, CTI generator, or analysis engine. +- Adaptive interventions are later run events with their own policy and + provenance.

The GitHub issue title, body, acceptance criteria, and +non-goals are the contract. Live Ground Control status was unavailable during +this preflight, so requirement state must be read from Ground Control when the +assessment is performed; it must not be inferred from this checkout. + +This note records non-normative architecture guardrails for the assessment and +adoption-design work. It does not publish the adoption ADR, amend a formal +specification, create or disposition requirements, create implementation +issues, select a participant I/O gateway, or implement schemas, runtime code, +backend behavior, conformance, or migration. + +## Decisive Current-State Finding + +ACES currently has adjacent participant-control mechanisms, not one portable +participant ingress/egress semantic boundary or enforcement point. + +- [ADR-022](adrs/adr-022-participant-behavior-and-interaction-semantics.md) and + `specs/formal/participant-semantics/` define world/view/history separation, + action and observation contracts, visibility transitions, and participant + information boundaries. Noninterference and disclosure/declassification are + rationale-level obligations, not a revisioned machine-readable IFC policy, + relation, checker, proof, or runtime realization. +- [ADR-054](adrs/adr-054-participant-runtime-observable-lifecycle.md) and + `specs/formal/participant-runtime/` define the observable lifecycle, + admission dispositions, ordering, projections, markings, redaction, shared + state, and concurrency. `ParticipantControlMixin` and + `ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest` provide an internal Python admission + path and binding checks, but do not constitute a transport-neutral ingress + contract or complete SEM-211 policy evaluator. +- [ADR-060](adrs/adr-060-participant-backend-facing-contract-surface.md) is + proposed and existing API-406/API-408 carriers provide lifecycle, + observation, status, history, and context shapes. The reference API-408 + retrieval code synthesizes visibility references and currently supplies no + marking or redaction policy. Its HTTP authorization is for backend, + operator, and auditor callers, not participant-address authorization. DTO + construction and control-plane read authorization therefore do not establish + participant egress enforcement. Its `portable_equivalent` comparability class + is a view-carrier classification, not behavioral equivalence or proof, and + must be explicitly reconciled by the assessment. +- [ADR-083](adrs/adr-083-participant-tool-decision-surface-and-exposure-semantics.md) + is proposed. It cleanly separates action meaning, authored availability, + apparatus support, run selection, current decision surface, realized + exposure, and outcome, but its implementation issues are not evidence of + delivered runtime mediation. +- SDL `Inject` and compiled orchestration inject/event records model scheduled + orchestration resources. They do not bind participant addressees, + observation boundaries, authorization, declassification, delivery receipts, + or participant behavior history. An environment inject is not participant + input merely because a participant may later observe its effects. +- Participant decision modes and lifecycle values include useful adjacent + terms such as human supervision, mixed control, external supply, admission, + and withholding.

The catalog does not presently make an IFC + noninterference policy authoritative. Its implemented and bounded relations + do not prove noninterference or bisimulation. + +The issue must preserve this finding. It may adopt one coherent semantic +boundary, but that means common policy coordinates, ordered decisions, and +evidence obligations across existing carriers. It does not require one generic +message schema, one transport, or routing every orchestration inject through a +participant gateway. + +## Existing Threads And Required Disposition + +| Thread | Preflight disposition | +| --- | --- | +| #71, SEM-208 through SEM-213, ADR-022 | Reuse as participant semantic authority. Compose or strengthen it for IFC policy, governed disclosure, and labelled control transitions; do not replace its world/view/history or action/observation model. | +| #74, RUN-305 through RUN-308, ADR-054 | Reuse the lifecycle, envelope, ordering, projection, shared-state, and concurrency model. Strengthen portable realization and evidence obligations; do not create another lifecycle or history. | +| #119, SEM-219, SEM-220, SEM-226, ADR-083, #294 through #296 | Preserve its seven authority layers and its refinement of `V_p,t`. Treat proposed design and spawned work as dependencies/evidence to inventory, never as implementation completion. | +| #747, ADR-081, behavioral-relation catalog | Reuse the catalog, claim bindings, assurance axes, and nonclaim discipline. Revise the governed catalog only if the adoption makes a new relation authoritative; do not create an IFC-local equivalence vocabulary. | +| ACT-617, RUN-310, API-409, #251, #252, #255 | Treat current modes, actors, admission dispositions, provenance, and behavior history as adjacent primitives only. The adoption authority must distinguish proposal, approval, external direction, intervention, handoff, override, cancellation, admission, execution, and observation. | +| API-406 and backend participant contracts | Reuse the common envelope, neutral carriers, backend manifest, feature-support disclosure, capability-gap diagnostics, and conformance reports. Add no backend-specific participant DTO family. | +| DSL-111 and orchestration injects | Preserve orchestration identity and scheduling. Participant-directed delivery must compose with participant observation/disclosure and record delivery evidence; environment-only injects remain orchestration concerns. | +| Scientific-completeness delivery assessment | Preserve the partial participant-relative information-flow finding as a gap signal. Reconcile it against current artifacts; do not promote a profile result to proof or runtime realization. | + +The assessment ledger must record each artifact's authority and independent +states for definition, implementation, test, model-check/proof, and runtime +realization, with evidence refs and explicit nonclaims. `accepted`, `closed`, +`active`, schema-valid, fixture-passing, bounded-probe success, and backend +realization are different facts. Existing formal-spec sufficiency text and +`specs/formal/assurance-fulfillment.yaml` also require reconciliation against +newer code and tests; neither should be silently treated as the sole status +source. + +## Adoption-Design Guardrails + +### Compose existing authorities; publish one new composing decision + +Issue #794 warrants a new ADR because no current authority owns the composition +of participant IFC, input mediation, output projection, intervention, inject +delivery, backend realization, and relation-specific assurance. The ADR must +compose ADR-022, ADR-041, ADR-054, ADR-060, ADR-066, ADR-067, ADR-079, ADR-081, +and ADR-083. Accepted ADRs are not edited into a new meaning; use the ADR-059 +amendment/supersession rules and give every changed authority an explicit +migration disposition. + +The formal design must use the existing participant-relative objects and add +only missing predicates, labels, transitions, policies, and evidence +obligations. It must not introduce a second world state, participant view, +history, observation boundary, action contract, exposure policy, runtime +lifecycle, relation registry, or provenance system. + +### Share semantic coordinates, not object identity + +Every governed crossing should be evaluable at an explicit tuple containing: + +- participant and episode identity; +- ingress or egress direction and interaction kind; +- source, actor, current controller, and authority basis; +- action-contract, observation-boundary, inject, intervention, or payload ref; +- observation/order point and the declared clock, simultaneity, partial-order, + scheduler, and nondeterminism treatment where relevant; +- policy identity, revision/digest, security markings, authorization result, + disclosure/declassification basis, and redaction/transformation refs; +- admission/delivery disposition and reason code; +- backend capability/realization posture, weakening or rejection decision; and +- provenance, evidence, loss, limitation, and claim-binding refs. + +These are parameters of the existing semantic relations and envelopes, not a +mandate for a `ParticipantIOEvent`, untyped `message`, or universal gateway +DTO. Participant action proposals, approvals, external directions, +interventions, and injects remain distinct ingress kinds. Observations, +masked/projection outputs, and inject-delivery receipts remain distinct egress +or evidence records. They share policy evaluation, temporal coordinates, +dispositions, and provenance. + +Observable and hidden are participant- and policy-relative projections of +governed labels, not intrinsic booleans on an action. A controller change may +be hidden from one participant, visible to another, and always retained for an +authorized audit surface. The formal design must define the action-label +alphabet, transition and hiding/projection relations, stuttering or `tau` +treatment, and matching coordinates. It must also state when ordering is total, +partial, simultaneous, causal, or backend-observed; timestamp equality is not +an ordering rule. + +### Keep information-flow operations distinct + +- **Authorization/admission** decides whether a crossing is permitted now. +- **Withholding** records that content was not delivered. +- **Projection/masking** selects participant-visible content from an authorized + source at an observation point. +- **Redaction** transforms the representation after authorization; it is not an + authorization grant. +- **Declassification/disclosure** is a governed authority decision that may + widen future release under an explicit what/where/when/who/basis policy. +- **Concealment/revocation** changes future availability; it cannot erase + information already learned by a participant. +- **Loss or weakening** describes unavailable fidelity/evidence and must not be + reported as a successful security transformation. + +Visibility, marking authorization, and caller authorization compose +deny-first. No one dimension may widen another. A disclosed payload still +passes participant scope and observation policy; a visible item still requires +admission where it is actionable. Derived or transformed content inherits the +source markings and provenance by default; only an explicit governed +declassification decision may weaken them. + +Input or output modulation is an auditable transformation, not an invisible +rewrite. Preserve the source ref/digest, transformed ref/digest, rule and +revision, actor/authority, reason, loss/weakening, markings, provenance, and +evidence. A transformed action proposal is revalidated and admitted as the +resulting proposal; it must not silently change participant intent or inherit +the source admission result. + +### Keep IFC claims and behavioral relations precise + +Noninterference is an information-flow property; projected-history equality, +trace inclusion, simulation, refinement, and bisimulation are relations that +may support particular claims under declared models. They are not synonyms. +For every claim surface the design must bind the exact relation, subject, +projection/purge, policy revision, initial low-equivalence, high/hidden inputs, +allowed declassification events, quantifiers, time/order model, environment and +scheduler assumptions, termination/progress/timing sensitivity, probability or +nondeterminism treatment, and assurance status. + +If noninterference is adopted, its governed definition must state whether its +obligation is expressed by low-equivalent traces, purge/unwinding, +self-composition, a simulation, or another precise formulation. Bisimulation +may be a chosen proof obligation only when the labelled transition systems, +hidden-action treatment, divergence, quantifiers, and proof artifact exist. +Bounded equal projected histories remain bounded evidence; they are not a +universal noninterference or bisimulation proof. + +### Distinguish intervention and inject semantics + +Approval is not execution, intervention is not merely an admission reason, and +behavior mode is not a mutable controller state. The design must preserve +ordered records for proposal, approval/denial, controller or authority change, +override/cancellation, admission, attempt, result, observation, and handoff. +Late or concurrent decisions need explicit stale-decision and conflict rules; +wall-clock timestamps alone are insufficient. + +A participant-directed inject should retain its orchestration inject identity +while being governed as a participant disclosure/observation at delivery. If +it directs an action or changes control, it additionally binds the applicable +external-direction/intervention transition. An environment-directed inject +remains outside participant ingress and becomes participant-visible only +through the normal observation projection. + +### Make backend obligations portable and fail closed + +Backend support must extend the existing manifest feature-support pattern with +governed feature ids, support strength, disclosure refs, limitations, and +conformance evidence. Do not add scattered booleans or infer support from a +method's presence. Unsupported required semantics reject admission or target +selection. A permitted downgrade must be explicit, policy-authorized, +provenance-bound, participant/audience-visible where required, and unable to +claim the stronger relation. + +Reference runtime behavior and backend realization remain separate claims. +Portable contracts state required inputs, outputs, dispositions, histories, +and evidence. A backend declares capability, realizes those obligations, and +is assessed by the existing bounded conformance machinery. Schema presence, +method presence, or passing probes does not prove runtime realization or a +universal relation. + +## Canonical Cross-Cutting Incumbents + +| Concern | Required incumbent and boundary | +| --- | --- | +| Authored SDL ingress | `load_sdl_yaml()`, source-profile limits, YAML 1.2 safe loading, duplicate/canonical key checks, `parse_sdl()`/`parse_sdl_file()`, `SDLModel(extra="forbid")`, `Scenario`, and `InstantiatedScenario`. Do not read raw YAML mappings in participant-control code. | +| Semantic validation | `SemanticValidator`, participant-behavior analyses, controlled-vocabulary/reference validation, instantiation, and full post-instantiation revalidation. Add rules here rather than a gateway-only validator. | +| Participant semantics and compiler | Existing action contracts, precondition/effect/failure classes, view rules/transitions, observation boundaries, behavior specifications, `ParticipantBehaviorRuntime`, compiled canonical addresses, and `view_relation_timeline`. | +| Neutral contracts | `ContractModel(extra="forbid")`, `ParticipantRuntimeBaseEnvelopeModel`, participant lifecycle/observation/shared-state/history/context models, `ParticipantImplementation*` models, `ParticipantExposurePolicyModel`, and `BehavioralClaimBindingModel`. Compose refs before adding a carrier. | +| Runtime admission and projection | `ParticipantControlMixin`, `ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest`, `participant_action_admission_request_violations()`, `ParticipantRuntime`, `BaseParticipantRuntime`, behavior-history/action-result records, and participant retrieval view models. Extend their obligations; do not treat current retrieval projection as a security enforcer. | +| Security and HTTP | `create_control_plane_app()`, `ControlPlaneSecurityConfig.strict_defaults()`, `ControlPlaneIdentity`, `ControlPlaneRole`, verified bearer/proxy identity, target binding, request-size guards, request fingerprints, idempotency keys, and `AuditEvent`. Caller auth, participant authority, and visibility remain separate gates. | +| State and persistence | First-class `RuntimeSnapshot` fields and `ControlPlaneStore` with `InMemoryControlPlaneStore`/`LocalControlPlaneStore`; existing episode, behavior, observation, shared-state, operation, audit, evidence, and provenance histories. No participant-gateway side store. | +| Backend capability | `BackendManifest`, `BackendManifestV2Model`, `ParticipantRuntimeCapabilities`, `ParticipantFeatureSupport`, `participant_runtime_capability_contract_gaps()`, and participant implementation manifests/selections. | +| Conformance and assurance | `aces_conformance`, `BackendConformanceReport`, existing fixture/target probe runners, `Diagnostic`/`Severity`, participant invariant oracles, negative leakage tests, property tests, counterexamples, formal-assurance policy, and behavioral claim bindings. Extend these rather than create an IFC runner/report silo. | +| Schema and concept governance | `schema_bundle()`, `contracts/schemas/`, valid/invalid fixtures, `contracts/schema-publication-manifest.json`, concept-authority catalogs/bindings, controlled vocabularies, ADR-061 compatibility classification, and generated-corpus parity. Free-form metadata is not authority. | +| Errors and observability | Collected SDL diagnostics, `Diagnostic`, `Severity`, `OperationReceipt`, `OperationStatus`, bounded HTTP 4xx details, the redacted FastAPI 500 envelope, `AuditEvent`, and `SessionReporter`. No new exception hierarchy, logger, or audit channel. | +| Workflow | `.ground-control.yaml`, `.gc/plan-rules.md`, `noxfile.py`, `tools/verify_all.py`, repo-policy, requirement-governance, concept-authority, generated-schema, schema-publication, JSON-artifact, assurance, semantic-coverage, and docs checks. Requirement authority must exist before implementation issues depend on it. | + +The package boundary remains `aces_sdl` for authored meaning, +`aces_processor` for compiled projections, `aces_contracts` for neutral +carriers, `aces_runtime` for live control/security/persistence, +`aces_backend_protocols` for backend obligations, and `aces_conformance` for +bounded assessment. `implementations/python/src/aces/` is compatibility-only +and must not acquire logic. + +## Security And Operational Gates + +1. **SDL parser and shape gate:** new authored policy references pass UTF-8, + byte/scalar/alias/node/depth limits, forbidden-tag/directive checks, + duplicate and canonical-key checks, variable rules, closed Pydantic shapes, + semantic reference resolution, and post-instantiation validation. Policies + are referenced/versioned artifacts, not executable expressions or arbitrary + dictionaries. +2. **Contract and configuration gate:** every portable addition is a closed + contract and passes model validation, generated JSON Schema, semantic + invariants, valid/invalid fixtures, publication-manifest change accounting, + compatibility review, concept binding, and consumer parity. Do not encode + policy or transition meaning in `constraints`, `metadata`, `details`, or a + backend configuration bag. +3. **Authentication and policy gate:** any future HTTP surface enters through + the existing fail-closed app, size guard, identity verification, role and + target binding, mutation idempotency/fingerprinting, and audit. It then + separately evaluates participant actor/authority, action admission, and + participant visibility/marking/declassification policy. Passing control-plane + auth never bypasses the latter gates. A future participant-facing adapter + must explicitly bind an authenticated principal to a participant subject; + it must not impersonate a participant through the operator role or create a + second authentication stack. +4. **Secret and hidden-state gate:** contracts, snapshots, audit, diagnostics, + logs, errors, fixtures, and provenance carry safe ids, refs, digests, + classifications, and bounded summaries only. Credentials, tokens, keys, + hidden prompts/answers, world truth, policy bodies, raw rejected payloads, + backend object representations, and environment dumps must not cross the + participant or observability boundary. +5. **Projection and error-envelope gate:** participant egress must evaluate the + compiled observation boundary, `V_p,t`, order point, exposure policy, + markings, caller/participant authorization, declassification, redaction, + loss, and evidence basis before serialization. Expected rejection uses + stable dispositions and bounded diagnostics/4xx messages. Unexpected failure + retains the redacted `{"detail":"internal server error"}` envelope; neither + path echoes content or hidden policy facts. Reuse existing request-size and + timeout patterns for payload, rate, execution, and output bounds; truncation, + dropped delivery, and timeout are explicit loss/failure outcomes rather than + silent masking. +6. **Persistence and audit gate:** append-only decisions and realized outcomes + use existing snapshot/store and evidence/provenance carriers, including + policy revision and order coordinates. Audit is not a participant + observation, and raw backend logs are not evidence or disclosure. +7. **Environment and OS/process gate:** this design needs no new environment + binding, secret loader, daemon, or subprocess. A later concrete adapter must + use injected credential/policy providers, fixed invocation shapes, + controlled working directories, bounded timeouts, and no `shell=True`; it + must not place secrets, hidden content, policy bodies, or arbitrary payloads + in argv, environment dumps, stdout, or stderr. +8. **Backend and conformance gate:** capability declaration validates against + the canonical manifest and vocabulary, target admission rejects missing + required semantics, realized crossings retain provenance/evidence, and + existing conformance reports disclose finite scope and explicit nonclaims. + +## Extensibility Seam + +The stable seam is a policy-evaluation and projection relation over existing +addresses and envelopes, parameterized by participant/episode, direction, +interaction kind, actor/controller/authority, order and time model, policy +revision, projection and action refs, markings/declassification/redaction, +backend support posture, and evidence/provenance. Payloads remain typed existing +carriers or stable refs. + +That seam must admit the next reasonable variants without redefining the core: +a participant-directed inject, human approval, temporary controller handoff, +automated intervention, per-phase policy revision, streaming output, weaker +backend realization, another audience projection, and later timed, +probabilistic, partial-order, or strategic claim models. Variation belongs in +explicit governed parameters and capability entries, not new top-level event +families or booleans. + +## Gotchas And Anti-Patterns + +Avoid: + +- declaring that ACES already has one I/O boundary because related models, + methods, endpoints, or specs exist; +- adding a generic `ParticipantIOEvent`, `message`, gateway DTO, policy bag, + second visibility taxonomy, or duplicate action/observation history; +- exposing API-408 reference views directly to participants on the assumption + that `_project_scope()` or a synthesized visibility ref is security masking; +- conflating control-plane caller authorization, participant authority, + authored operating scope, backend capability, and participant visibility; +- conflating withholding, masking/projection, redaction, declassification, + concealment, revocation, unsupported behavior, loss, and unknown state; +- treating approval as execution, intervention as an admission reason, + behavior mode as controller state, or every inject as participant input; +- modifying a proposal in place, carrying its prior admission across a + transformation, or deduplicating distinct attempts solely by payload value; +- treating an exposed action/tool as applicable, admitted, executed, or + observed, or treating an implementation expectation as a grant; +- inferring past disclosure from current state, using future authorization to + justify earlier exposure, or pretending revocation erases participant + knowledge; +- using only wall-clock timestamps where concurrency, simultaneity, causality, + stale approvals, or partial order matter; +- ignoring termination, progress, timing, scheduling, nondeterminism, chance, + or concurrency while making an IFC or equivalence claim; +- calling projected-history equality noninterference, calling trace inclusion + bisimulation, or promoting finite fixtures/probes/model checks to universal + proof; +- adding capability booleans, backend-local downgrade conventions, free-form + reason strings, hidden fallbacks, or success-with-warning when required + semantics are absent; +- placing policy in `ParticipantExposurePolicyModel.constraints`, snapshot + metadata, history details, audit details, logs, or backend-native DTOs; +- duplicating schemas, validators, controlled vocabularies, exception + hierarchies, persistence, audit/logging, conformance runners, workflow logic, + or schema registries; +- hand-editing generated schemas, bypassing publication and compatibility + gates, adding logic to the compatibility tree, or changing an accepted ADR's + meaning in place; and +- assigning implementation issues before their governing requirement authority + exists or treating issue/requirement/ADR status as implementation evidence. + +## Non-Goals And Implementation Boundaries + +- No production SDL, schema, parser, compiler, contract, API, runtime, backend, + persistence, migration, conformance, or proof implementation in issue #794 or + this preflight. +- No selection or construction of a concrete participant I/O gateway, + transport, UI, model provider, or human-control service. +- No universal noninterference, trace inclusion, equivalence, simulation, + refinement, epistemic, strategic, or bisimulation claim from current bounded + evidence. +- No forced unification of environment injects, participant observations, + action proposals, approvals, interventions, and outputs into one carrier or + transport. +- No replacement of participant, runtime, orchestration, observability, + apparatus, backend-contract, or behavioral-relation authority without an + explicit disposition and migration path. +- No requirement disposition, milestone issue graph, or implementation issue + creation in this architecture preflight.

Requirement: DSL-117. + +This note records the repository-wide architecture boundary for authored +participant interactive access. It is guidance only: it does not implement the +SDL change, a portal broker, backend realization, or an implementation plan. + +## Binding Decisions + +Interactive access belongs on the existing role-neutral participant-authoring +surface from ADR-020 and ADR-022: + +```yaml +agents: + operator: + entity: blue-team + starting_accounts: [workstation-user] + interactive_access: + primary-console: + target_ref: workstation + channel: rdp + account_ref: workstation-user +``` + +`Agent.interactive_access` is an optional mapping keyed by a portable, +participant-local declaration id and defaults to empty. Each value is a closed +nested SDL model with exactly: + +- required `target_ref`, resolving to one declared VM node; +- required `channel`, from a closed language vocabulary whose initial terms are + exactly `ssh` and `rdp`; +- optional `account_ref`, resolving to one authored top-level account. + +Absence means that the participant has no authored interactive-access endpoint. +No OS, role, image, service, port, account, credential, action, or backend fact +may create an implicit entry. + +If `account_ref` is present, the account must belong to the same resolved VM and +must already occur in that participant's `starting_accounts`. The endpoint +therefore composes a route/channel with existing participant access authority; +it does not create a second account-grant mechanism. If it is absent, a consumer +must not select an account by inspecting `starting_accounts`, account count, +username, authentication method, or node contents. + +The declaration key supplies stable local identity; the endpoint uniqueness +key is `(resolved node, concrete channel)` within one participant. Duplicate +endpoint keys are invalid even when declaration ids, raw reference spellings, +or `account_ref` values differ. Account choice is endpoint data, not endpoint +identity. Mapping order has no priority, fallback, or failover meaning. +Uniqueness and relational checks run again after variable substitution so a +placeholder cannot conceal a duplicate or mismatched account. Different +participants may declare the same endpoint independently. + +`channel`, `target_ref`, and `account_ref` use the existing whole-field +variable rules. The authoring contract may retain a declared `${var}` token; +the instantiated contracts admit only a concrete `ssh` or `rdp` channel and +concrete resolvable references. Do not add interpolation, environment lookup, +or a second binding syntax. + +## Existing Authority And Incumbents + +- ADR-001 keeps authored SDL backend-agnostic. ADR-020 places participant + framing on `agents`; ADR-022 keeps that surface role-neutral. Do not create a + parallel `participants`, `users`, `operators`, or `machines` section. +- ADR-031 keeps SSH daemon policy under node runtime, and ADR-043 keeps observed + listeners distinct from authored access. `interactive_access` is neither + sshd/RDP configuration nor evidence that a listener exists. +- ADR-083 keeps tool affordances and decision/exposure policies distinct. A + `shell` affordance is not an SSH channel, and this declaration does not expose + hidden state or authorize participant actions. +- `aces_sdl.agents.Agent`, a focused nested `SDLModel`, + `SDLModel(extra="forbid")`, `parse_enum_or_var()`, and the existing + non-empty/reference validation patterns are the canonical authoring shapes. + Do not introduce a free-form endpoint map or a second parser DTO. +- `ScenarioContent` is the shared closed section carrier for normalized, + expanded, and instantiated scenarios. The field must survive through that + carrier; do not add phase-specific copies or an out-of-band metadata channel. +- `parse_sdl()`, source validation, module composition, `instantiate_scenario()`, + `admit_instantiated_scenario()`, and `SemanticValidator` are the canonical + ingress and validation sequence. Endpoint reference checks belong with the + existing participant checks in `validator/_content_objectives.py` and must use + the declaration index/reference rules rather than string splitting or a new + resolver. +- `contracts/concept-authority/controlled-vocabularies-v1.json` owns portable + terms under ADR-012. Add one closed enumeration such as + `participant-interactive-access-channels`, governed at + `agents.interactive_access.channel`, and keep its terms in exact parity with + the SDL enum. The controlled-vocabulary model's governed-scope allowlist and + authoritative valid fixture are existing shape gates; do not validate a + second free-string vocabulary in `SemanticValidator`. +- The three hand-governed SDL schemas under `contracts/schemas/sdl/` are the + normative machine contracts under ADR-009/061. `schema_bundle()` and + `tools/check_generated_schemas.py` prove Python compatibility; they do not + replace schema authority. Since `Agent` exists in all three schemas, all + three and their publication-manifest hashes/`last_change` move together. +- `specs/sdl/references.md` and the independently maintained + `_REFERENCE_EDGE_EXPECTATIONS` in `tools/check_sdl_catalog_parity.py` are the + canonical reference-edge contract. Register both `target_ref` and + `account_ref`; editor/reference completion must extend the existing + `REFERENCE_COMPLETION_TARGETS` and declaration index rather than add an + interactive-access-specific symbol service. +- `aces_processor.compiler.participant_behaviors`, the existing node/account + address helpers in `compiler.alias_index`/`compiler.addresses`, and + `ParticipantBehaviorRuntime` are the compiled participant seam. Preserve + access entries as typed participant data containing authored refs and resolved + addresses, and include their resolved node/account addresses in refresh + dependencies. Do not make the opaque `agent_specs` or `spec["agent"]` dump + the only consumer contract, and do not create a separately addressed or + planned access resource. +- `SDLParseError` with bounded source diagnostics, `SDLValidationError`, and + `SDLInstantiationError` are the language error hierarchy. Processor-only + failures use the existing `Diagnostic` envelope. No endpoint-specific + exception, logger, repository, controller, or workflow is justified. + +## Cross-Cutting Gates + +- **Source/parser:** retain the `sdl-yaml/v1` safe loader, UTF-8 and source-size + limits, alias/depth/node/tag/directive limits, exact snake-case handling, + stable mapping-key rules, and closed Pydantic models. There is no endpoint + shorthand, legacy alias, or permissive unknown-key path. +- **Shape and concept authority:** `target_ref`/`account_ref` contain references, + not hostnames, usernames, credentials, URLs, or arbitrary strings with + transport meaning. `channel` accepts only the enum or a declared whole-field + variable at authoring time. The controlled-vocabulary catalog, its governed + scope allowlist, SDL enum, and published schemas must agree on `ssh`/`rdp`. +- **Semantic references:** the normal collect-all `SemanticValidator` pass must + reject dangling or ambiguous refs, non-VM targets, account/node mismatch, + accounts outside `starting_accounts`, and duplicate resolved node/channel + pairs. It must not reject SSH on Windows, RDP on Linux, or account auth-method + combinations by inference; backend support is not SDL validity. +- **Phase/admission:** module composition rewrites references through the + existing namespace machinery. Instantiation removes all `${...}` tokens and + reruns structural and semantic validation. Direct instantiated-artifact + admission performs the same closed-schema, provenance, token, declaration, + and semantic checks before compiler use. +- **Authentication and authorization:** the declaration is a positive scenario + authorization input saying that this participant may be offered this + node/channel. It is not caller authentication, a bearer-token scope, or proof + that an HTTP/control-plane principal is that participant. A portal consumer + must retain its own authenticated caller-to-participant binding and fail + closed on absent or unsupported declarations; no control-plane auth surface + changes in this issue. +- **Secrets:** the declaration carries only declaration refs and a channel. It + carries no password, key, token, connection string, portal session, host, + username, or credential material. `account_ref` identifies authored account + posture; it is not a credential lookup or authorization to serialize a + secret. +- **Configuration and environment binding:** this change adds no backend config, + provider setting, environment variable, CLI flag, or config dictionary. + Scenario variables continue through the typed instantiation request and may + not be resolved from ambient process environment. +- **Host/OS exposure:** parsing and compilation add no listener, route, firewall + rule, service port, daemon setting, subprocess, shell command, or process + argument. A downstream broker may map a validated channel to backend-owned + connection mechanics, but hostnames, URLs, ports, private keys, tokens, and + credentials must not enter SDL or process argv. +- **Error envelopes and observability:** parser errors remain bounded, + source-anchored diagnostics without raw Pydantic input; semantic failures + remain collected language errors. Do not echo full SDL documents, account + details, generated portal URLs, native exceptions, or downstream credentials + into diagnostics, logs, audit details, or API errors. +- **Persistence and realization:** the declaration is preserved in the SDL, + instantiated snapshot, and typed compiled participant projection.

If a future portable requirement needs explicit +priority, temporal availability, account selection alternatives, or a +protocol-neutral broker constraint, it should add a typed optional field with +defined semantics to the nested record.

It applies ADR-084 to the package and +artifact boundaries already established by ADR-036, ADR-053, ADR-055, ADR-065, +ADR-068, ADR-074, and ADR-078. + +Issue #652 is design-only. Names in the contract sketches are conceptual unless +ADR-084 says otherwise; follow-on issues publish the actual models and schemas. +The semantic boundaries, identities, phase order, and failure behavior are +binding and are not left for each implementation issue to rediscover. + +## Scope And Claims + +The design covers: + +- deterministic composition of an authored scenario family; +- named, bounded scalar and structural variation points; +- experiment-owned selection, allocation, sampling, and stochastic controls; +- schedule-independent compilation and admission of a trial set; +- explicit SDL instantiation and derivation provenance; +- typed late-bound runtime facts; +- backend realization within a selected envelope; +- scheduling as an external consumer; and +- linkage to the existing experiment run, study, apparatus, evidence, and + lineage records. + +It does not implement a generator, sampler, compiler, scheduler, runtime fact +service, schema, persistence service, API, scenario pack, or adaptive policy. +It does not guarantee identical backend behavior, artifact availability, +reconstruction of hidden state, or exact replay from a seed alone. + +## Terminology + +**Scenario family** +: A composed, semantically admitted SDL authoring artifact with zero or more + named variation points. Zero points denotes a singleton family. + +**Variation point** +: A stable SDL symbol that declares one bounded location at which a concrete + scenario may differ. The point declares the valid domain and target kind; it + does not choose a value. + +**Selection policy** +: Experiment-owned intent that enumerates or samples values from one or more + scenario-family domains and binds them to logical trial coordinates. + +**Logical trial coordinate** +: A stable, experiment-meaningful address such as condition, replicate, and + attempt coordinate. It exists before scheduling and is not a worker or queue + index. + +**Admitted trial plan** +: A closed immutable execution-intent artifact containing only fully selected, + valid, apparatus-realizable trial entries. It is neither a scheduler queue + nor an archival run. + +**Trial realization** +: The processor-owned operation that applies one admitted entry's structural + selections and scalar bindings through the public SDL instantiation path. + +**Runtime fact** +: An authorized observation or secret reference that fills a compiled + late-bound sink after admission. It cannot change scenario or experiment + meaning. + +**Run** +: The existing `experiment-run-v1` archival record for one execution. “Trial” + is experiment terminology; it does not introduce a second archival root. + +### Composition and the campaign boundary + +SCE-002's “atomic scenarios into larger campaigns” uses the existing ADR-053 +composition model. A reusable SDL module may be authored and validated as a +bounded unit, and a root SDL document may import the typed exports of many such +units. Composition resolves trust, parameters, namespaces, references, and +collisions and then produces one expanded canonical `Scenario`. The processor +and runtime never execute a nested tree of atomic scenario lifecycles. + +“Campaign” is therefore an author-facing view, not a new portable root: + +- one executable composed campaign is one canonical scenario assembled from + reusable SDL modules and fragments; and +- a campaign spanning multiple executions is an experiment design and its + admitted trial plan, archived through the existing run/study contracts. + +The second form does not compose scenario snapshots by concatenating runtime +state. It selects already composed families through experiment policies. This +preserves ADR-055's scenario/task/run/study separation and prevents a campaign +object, scheduler job, or study record from becoming a second SDL lifecycle. + +## The One-Way Pipeline + +```text +authored root SDL + trusted module sources + | + v +normalized authored scenario family + | resolve imports, trust, locks, namespaces, digests + v +semantically admitted expanded scenario family + | bind experiment task/spec, factors, allocation, selection/RNG profiles + v +closed experiment design + | compile logical coordinates and selections; check family + apparatus + v +admitted trial plan + | apply one recorded selection through public SDL instantiation + v +admitted instantiated scenario + canonical snapshot + | compile and plan using existing processor/planner boundaries + v +typed provisioning/orchestration/evaluation plans + | fill only declared late-bound sinks; realize through selected backend + v +operation receipts, status, runtime snapshots, evidence + | seal one archival run per started trial; aggregate in study/allocation + v +experiment run/study provenance +``` + +Every arrow is a partial function.

Module composition | `aces_sdl.composition` and `module_registry` | Normalized root SDL, locked imports, trust policy, verified module bytes | Expanded scenario family | Resolve the complete declaration graph before selection; preserve qualified canonical symbols; selected values never influence module or declaration identity | Import preorder, namespace, requested and resolved source identities, versions, content/manifest/export digests, signer attribution, bindings | +| 2. Scenario-family declaration | SDL models and `SemanticValidator` | Normalized/composed family with a keyed map of variation points | Semantically admitted expanded scenario family | Every point has a stable qualified id, a closed kind, a bounded domain, a typed target, and locally valid alternatives; the family is not experiment allocation | Family semantic digest, point/domain/profile versions, source locations, expansion evidence | +| 3. Experiment design | `experiment-authoring-input-v1` and experiment-core validators | Task/family refs, factors, allocation, selection policies, stochastic controls, apparatus intent | Closed experiment specification | Policies target existing point ids; factors and conditions remain experiment concepts; refs/digests pin the family and task; descriptive legacy randomization fields cannot execute by convention | Spec identity/digest, task/family refs, factor and condition ids, policy/control ids and versions, randomness namespace, requested apparatus and capture refs | +| 4. Trial-set compilation and admission | `aces_processor` using neutral DTOs from `aces_contracts` | Admitted experiment spec, exact family/task bytes, apparatus manifests/accepted envelopes, compiler/identity/RNG profiles | One canonical admitted trial plan | Pure deterministic function of admitted inputs; preallocate one archival `run_id` per logical coordinate; emit no plan if any selected entry is invalid, impossible, duplicate, or unrealizable | All input refs/digests, profiles, coordinates, run ids, selections, factor assignments, stochastic controls and stream addresses, apparatus bindings, bounded admission evidence | +| 5. SDL instantiation | Public `aces_sdl` selection/instantiation/admission APIs, orchestrated by `aces_processor` | One plan entry and the exact expanded family it pins | Admitted `InstantiatedScenario` and canonical snapshot | Apply only recorded selections/bindings; no new draw, import, query, fallback, or private binder; rerun whole-scenario semantic validation | Existing expansion/instantiation evidence plus point selections and trial-plan/run linkage | +| 6. Runtime fact binding | `aces_runtime` over compiled slots and neutral fact DTOs | Admitted compiled plans, authorized observations and secret references | Run-local bound operation/action input and binding event evidence | Fill only a declared sink with matching type/source/scope/freshness/sensitivity; never mutate the plan, snapshot, factors, topology, choices, run id, or streams | Slot id, safe fact/source ref, scope, freshness, sensitivity, authorization/evidence refs, binding outcome; no raw secret | +| 7. Backend realization | Existing planner, manifest, realization-envelope, and backend protocols | Admitted plans plus selected apparatus/envelope/manifests | Existing backend plans, operation receipts/status, runtime snapshots, and realized-form disclosures | Realize only within the selected envelope and capabilities; backend refusal is failure/deviation, never permission to resample | Manifest/envelope/configuration refs/digests, realized forms, transformations, omissions, operation ids, receipts | +| 8. Orchestration and scheduling | External scheduler, including APTL for SCE-006 | Admitted plan entries and execution/isolation policy | Queue/placement state and dispatch decisions, outside scenario identity | May order, delay, pause, retry transport, and use bounded parallelism after isolation proof; cannot select, instantiate, randomize, compare, or score | Dispatch order, instance/lock/storage allocation, timeouts, clean-state/cleanup evidence, retry reason | +| 9. Archival provenance | `ExperimentRunModel`, `ExperimentStudyModel`, evidence and cross-artifact validators | Sealed execution/evidence plus plan/snapshot refs | One run per started trial and study/allocation records | The preallocated plan-entry `run_id` becomes the archival `run_id`; a genuine re-execution receives a new admitted id; live state is not the run record | Actual parameters/stochastic/apparatus facts, scenario snapshot, realized forms, evidence, deviations, lineage to plan/spec/task and source run where applicable | + +### Why the admitted plan is a separate artifact + +The experiment specification states intended design. The admitted plan states +that a concrete finite set of trial entries has been selected, validated, and +shown realizable against pinned apparatus claims. A scheduler queue states +where and when work may run. A run states what happened. Combining any two of +those would make a mutable operational concern authoritative for scientific +intent or archival truth. + +The plan is therefore immutable and content-addressed. Operational state refers +to it; operational state never edits it. + +## Scenario-Family Variation Model + +### Placement and identity + +The SDL authoring model gains one optional, keyed `variation_points` registry. +The registry participates in module composition and namespace rewriting under +ADR-053. Each key is the point's local id and agrees with any repeated id field, +following the existing keyed-object convention. Imported points receive the +module namespace exactly as other declarations do. + +A point id identifies the semantic location of variation. It does not include: + +- a selected value or alternative; +- a source filename or line number; +- a module cache path; +- a trial, worker, process, or backend id; or +- a hash of any selected value. + +Changing the declared point, domain, alternatives, or constraints changes the +scenario-family semantic digest. Selecting a member does not rename the point +or any declaration. + +### Closed point kinds + +The first version admits the following semantic kinds: + +| Kind | Meaning | Required bound | Selection result | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Parameter | Select a JSON scalar for an existing typed SDL variable | Exact, finite enum, boolean, or bounded numeric domain compatible with the variable | Existing root or module-local parameter binding | +| Governed reference | Select one declared reference under a named authority and revision/digest | Finite allowed reference set | Typed reference binding; referent is resolved through the owning registry | +| Alternative | Select exactly one labeled typed fragment for one model-declared structural slot | Non-empty finite keyed alternatives | Selected alternative id and its typed content | +| Subset | Select a set of labeled typed members for one model-declared collection slot | Finite members plus minimum/maximum cardinality; optional typed requires/excludes | Canonically keyed selected member set; semantic list order is separate | +| Order | Choose a total order of declared semantic item ids | Finite item set plus a precedence DAG and optional fixed positions | Ordered tuple of item ids satisfying every edge | +| Logical timing | Select a logical duration, offset, cadence, window, or declared timing profile | Exact/enum/bounded numeric or governed timing profile; explicit unit/time domain | Concrete logical timing value/profile, never host wall time | + +The SCE-002 examples map to these semantics without special cases: attack-order +variation is an `order` point, target selection is a bounded `subset` or +`governed-reference` point according to target ownership, and timing variation +is a `logical-timing` point. The experiment chooses among these authored +possibilities; the SDL declaration, runtime, backend, and scheduler do not draw +independently. + +These kinds form a closed discriminated union. A future kind requires a versioned +contract extension, semantic validator, provenance form, and property tests. An +unknown kind fails closed. + +### Typed targets, not document patches + +Every point names a target descriptor owned by an SDL model. A target descriptor +states the target kind, owning declaration, slot, and expected value/fragment +type. It is not an RFC 6901 pointer, JSONPath expression, YAML path, template, +callback, or arbitrary field name. + +The owning model decides which slots are variable. A structural alternative is +a typed child accepted by that slot's ordinary validator; a subset member is a +typed keyed child; an order point addresses the stable ids of an explicitly +order-sensitive collection. This keeps target authorization in the model that +owns the semantics. + +When exact/enum/boolean/bounded-number/governed-reference/acyclic-record value +semantics fit, implementations reuse or extract the `DomainDescriptor` +primitives introduced with ADR-070. They do not reuse +`RealizationEnvelopeModel`, `EnvelopeBinding`, `WitnessPolicy`, backend posture, +or witness generation as experiment selection. ADR-070 is accepted and owns +only the realizability relation; its witness seed is not experiment randomness. + +### Structural validity and combination constraints + +Authoring validation checks every alternative/member in its typed local +context, all target and reference ids, cardinality bounds, timing units, and +precedence edges. Cross-point restrictions use only closed relations: + +- selection A requires one of a finite set of selections at point B; +- selection A excludes a finite set of selections at point B; +- subset cardinality constraints; and +- order precedence/fixed-position constraints. + +There is no general Boolean expression language, arithmetic predicate, external +query, or executable callback. Cycles or contradictions that make a declared +domain empty are authoring errors. Local validity does not prove every +cross-product combination valid; the trial compiler validates each selected +whole scenario. If any requested coordinate selects an invalid combination, the +entire requested admitted plan fails. + +### Order and time are semantic only when declared + +An `order` or `logical-timing` point changes scenario meaning only at its typed +target. Worker launch order, queue latency, backend provisioning duration, retry +backoff, batch placement, and host time are apparatus/scheduler facts. They +cannot satisfy or alter an SDL variation point. + +## Experiment Selection And Allocation + +SDL declares what values and structures are valid. The experiment specification +declares which valid points form the study. + +Every executable selection policy has: + +- a stable policy id and versioned kind; +- one or more qualified variation-point targets; +- a finite output count or an independently enforced compilation budget; +- explicit semantics such as enumerate, explicit values, zip, Cartesian + product, sample-without-replacement, stratified sample, block, or declared + t-way coverage; +- factor/condition mappings where selections are experimental treatments; +- a logical-coordinate profile; and +- a stochastic profile reference when the policy makes random choices. + +Scenario validity domains and experiment selection policies never collapse into +one object. A domain can be reused by many experiments. Two experiments can +select different subsets without changing the scenario-family digest. + +Selections that are secret, hidden answers, benchmark-only truth, or raw +credentials cannot be factor levels or condition assignments. A scenario may +declare a secret late-binding slot or governed secret-reference policy, but the +experiment plan carries no secret value and no secret-derived identity. + +Address-like inputs such as IP addresses and typed path inputs continue through +existing SDL `Variable` binding with their declared allowed-value constraints. +Credential-shaped inputs are parameterized only as governed secret references +or declared late-bound secret-reference sinks, never as public credential +values. Thus IP, credential, and path variation share the same selection spine +without weakening the secret boundary. + +Exercise variety comes from admitting multiple explicit selections over the +same stable family. “Prevents rote memorization” is not inferred from the mere +presence of randomness: a study must state the intended coverage or sampling +claim and preserve the selected conditions and outcomes needed to evaluate it. + +## Random-Stream And Reproducibility Contract + +### Profile contents + +A random seed is data, not a complete algorithm. Every executable stochastic +policy references an accepted random-stream profile that fixes: + +1. generator algorithm and version; +2. seed type, size, and canonical byte encoding; +3. canonical semantic-address encoding; +4. key/stream derivation function and domain-separation labels; +5. raw-bit interpretation; +6. bounded-integer, real, weighted-choice, permutation, subset, and distribution + transformation versions used by the policy; +7. rejection, tie, precision, and exhaustion behavior; and +8. the compatibility promise for the complete profile. + +Changing any element creates a new profile id. An existing profile's output is +immutable. A library default, package version range, `random.seed()` call, or +free-text algorithm name is not a profile. + +The experiment's stochastic control combines that profile with a canonical +root seed and an explicit stable randomness namespace. The namespace is not +derived from the experiment-spec id, revision, or content digest. Keeping the +same namespace and seed across a controlled revision requests common random +numbers at unchanged semantic addresses; an independent randomization mints a +new namespace or changes the seed. Copying an experiment mints a new namespace +by default, and deliberate reuse is recorded as provenance. + +### Semantic addresses + +For each draw purpose, the compiler derives a stream address from immutable +semantic coordinates: + +```text +StreamAddress = ( + randomness_namespace, + logical_trial_coordinate, + selection_policy_id, + variation_point_id, + draw_purpose, + local_draw_coordinate +) +``` + +`local_draw_coordinate` is a stable semantic member id or explicit draw index, +not “the next call.” Canonical maps are traversed by canonical identifier. +Lists whose order is part of SDL meaning retain their declared or selected +order. + +The following are forbidden inputs: worker/process/thread/host id, wall time, +queue position, batch number, completion order, map/hash iteration order, +retry count, backend availability, and aggregate experiment-spec identity or +digest. The compiler may evaluate addresses in any order or in parallel. The +plan still pins the exact experiment id/digest as provenance. + +### Non-interference and permutation operations + +Each concern receives its own derived stream. Adding a draw to policy A cannot +change policy B or another point. Adding a trial coordinate under the same +namespace cannot change draw outcomes or selection bindings at existing +coordinates. The plan digest and preallocated run ids may still change when the +run-identity profile commits to a revised experiment specification. + +Random order and subset operations are defined from stable member-addressed +priorities (with canonical-id tie breaking), or another profile-defined +schedule-independent transform. They are not a shared in-place shuffle whose +result depends on prior draws or collection iteration order. + +### Required reproducibility witnesses + +An implementation cannot claim conformance until identical admitted inputs +produce byte-identical plans under: + +- one worker and many workers; +- forward and reversed worker assignment; +- different batch partitions and completion orders; +- retries before plan sealing; +- different process hash seeds; +- serialization/deserialization between phases; and +- repeated execution in separate processes on supported platforms. + +It must also prove stream non-interference by adding an unrelated point/draw +or changing unrelated experiment metadata while retaining the namespace, then +observing unchanged draws and selections at every unaffected address. + +These properties establish deterministic plan construction. They do not prove +identical runtime behavior or exact replay of hidden backend state. + +## Trial Identity And Admitted Plan Semantics + +### Stable coordinates and run ids + +Allocation first creates a set of unique logical coordinates. A coordinate is a +closed tuple whose dimensions are named by the allocation profile, for example +condition id, block id, replicate index, and explicit execution ordinal. The +tuple is canonicalized by profile; it is not a list position. + +The run-identity profile deterministically derives a `run_id` from: + +- the admitted experiment-spec identity; +- the pinned task and scenario-family identities; +- the logical coordinate; +- the trial-compiler and identity-profile ids; and +- any plan-wide input whose change makes this a different execution intent. + +Recompiling the same admitted inputs yields the same run ids. An idempotent +transport retry before execution reuses them. A genuine re-execution after a +trial starts is new scientific intent: it uses a new explicit execution +ordinal or replicate coordinate, is admitted again, and receives a new run id. +It may cite the source run through existing lineage. + +### Plan admission is atomic + +Let `F` be the admitted expanded family, `E` the admitted experiment spec, +`A` the pinned apparatus claims, and `P` the compiler/identity/random profiles. +Conceptually: + +```text +compile_and_admit(F, E, A, P) -> AdmittedTrialPlan | DiagnosticSet +``` + +For the same canonical inputs, the function returns identical bytes or +identical ordered diagnostics. It stages entries internally, validates every +entry, checks plan-wide uniqueness and budgets, and seals one plan only after +all entries pass. It never emits a “valid subset” after dropping failed +coordinates. + +The plan has its own content identity. That identity is not a run id. It groups +the immutable intended executions, while each entry's preallocated run id is +the archival identity if that entry starts. + +### Minimum plan contents + +The admitted plan records: + +- plan schema/profile and canonical digest; +- compiler, coordinate, run-identity, canonicalization, and random-stream + profile ids; +- exact refs and digests for experiment spec, task, expanded scenario family, + capture specs, and required associated artifacts; +- selected apparatus intent plus pinned manifest, capability, realization + envelope, and material-configuration refs/digests; +- explicit cardinality and compilation-budget facts; +- a canonically ordered/keyed collection of entries; +- each entry's logical coordinate and preallocated run id; +- factor, condition, block, cohort, and replicate assignments; +- every structural selection and non-secret scalar/reference binding; +- stochastic control, namespace, root-seed, profile, policy, semantic-address, + and selected-outcome provenance; +- selection-to-instantiation provenance expectations; +- safe admission decisions and diagnostic counts; and +- any disclosed limitation on reproducibility, comparability, or realized-form + freedom. + +It does not contain queue state, worker assignment, mutable status, live +snapshots, backend-private objects, raw evidence, secret values, environment +dumps, or result summaries. + +### Failure taxonomy + +At minimum, implementations distinguish: + +- family/point/target invalid; +- policy target or factor unbound; +- domain empty or constraint unsatisfiable; +- allocation cardinality/budget exceeded; +- unsupported or malformed compiler/RNG/identity profile; +- duplicate logical coordinate or derived run id; +- selected whole scenario semantically invalid; +- selected point outside its family domain; +- selected apparatus or envelope unavailable/incompatible; +- selection not a member of the selected backend envelope; +- required artifact/digest/trust evidence missing; and +- canonicalization or sealing failure. + +Diagnostics identify the safe stage, code, canonical ids/paths, profile, and +counts. They do not render selected/supplied values, allowed domains, secret or +fact refs, raw documents, backend objects, or tracebacks. + +## Explicit SDL Instantiation + +Trial realization is processor orchestration over public SDL APIs. For one plan +entry it: + +1. verifies that the family digest and plan/entry identities match; +2. applies the recorded structural selection to model-declared targets; +3. supplies the recorded scalar bindings to the existing variable mechanism; +4. constructs no authoring identity from a selected value; +5. performs no random draw, import resolution, external query, secret read, or + backend callback; +6. creates the closed instantiated representation; +7. admits it with the ordinary whole-scenario semantic validator; and +8. emits the existing canonical instantiated snapshot. + +Selection may use a private transient selected-expanded value internally, but +that value is not an exchange contract, compiler input, or bypass around +`instantiate_scenario()` / `admit_instantiated_scenario()`. + +`InstantiationProvenance` is extended by its owning implementation issue to +carry the plan id, run id, and canonical selection records in addition to the +existing authored digest, bindings, imports, capability constraints, +explicitness, and realization designations. The instantiated snapshot digest +therefore commits to the selected scenario and its derivation evidence. + +## Runtime Fact Binding + +Runtime fact binding is deliberately narrower than pre-run parameterization. +A compiled late-bound slot declares: + +- stable slot id and compiled owning address; +- accepted scalar/reference type; +- allowed fact source kinds and scopes; +- required sensitivity class and disclosure behavior; +- freshness/expiry rule; +- whether absence blocks, fails, or leaves an operation inapplicable; and +- the exact run-local operation/action field that may receive the value. + +A fact or secret-reference carrier declares source, type, scope, observation +time/freshness, sensitivity, authorization context, and optional evidence +references. Binding succeeds only when all slot constraints hold. + +Facts may specialize a run-local operation input such as a discovered host, +session, credential handle, or tool result. They cannot: + +- add/remove/rename topology or declarations; +- choose an SDL alternative, subset, order, or timing point; +- alter factors, condition assignment, logical coordinate, run id, plan id, or + snapshot identity; +- advance or replace a random stream; +- select another backend or apparatus; or +- retroactively rewrite an experiment or archival record. + +Raw credentials and secret values are resolved only at the authorized sink. +The portable plan and binding evidence record slot/source identities and +redaction/loss disclosures, not secret material. Missing, stale, wrong-scope, +wrong-type, or unauthorized facts produce an explicit runtime disposition; no +fallback value or scenario resampling is permitted. + +## Backend Realization And Scheduling + +### Realization is proof against a selected envelope + +The processor first establishes membership in the scenario-family domain, then +checks the selected instance/requested family against the selected backend +realization envelope and manifest capabilities. Those are different proofs. + +Open or constrained realization choices remain governed by accepted ADR-070 +envelope semantics and existing manifest/realized-form disclosures. Where an +experiment requires cross-run comparability, the experiment may tighten +apparatus intent or make the realized form a recorded factor.

Mernik, Heering, and Sloane provide +the DSL-development boundary; Kosar, Bohra, and Mernik provide the systematic +mapping context; VSDL supplies a cyber-range-language comparison point with +constraint/solver semantics.

Its status is `not_started`, its + ethics state is `pending`, and it contains no subjects or observations. +- [`analysis-v1.json`](analysis-v1.json) names the ADR-021 claim, allowed and + disallowed evidence, objective pass/fail criteria, and recomputable measure + slots. Its evidence status is `untested`. + +Protocol, snapshot, and analysis are independently revisioned. An executed +study creates a new immutable snapshot and analysis. It does not edit the +not-started record or silently change protocol thresholds. A changed construct, +rubric, threshold, sampling rule, task meaning, or exclusion rule creates a new +protocol revision and amendment entry. + +## What is evaluated + +The protocol keeps eight dimensions separate: + +1. expressiveness; +2. usability and comprehension; +3. effectiveness and productivity; +4. maintainability and evolution; +5. ambiguity; +6. diagnostic quality; +7. reviewability; and +8. semantic traceability. + +It includes all six issue personas and representative positive, negative, +underspecified, ambiguous, round-trip, non-equivalent mutation, maintenance, +diagnostic-repair, and blinded independent-review tasks. Each relation-bearing +task declares the artifact stage on which equivalence, non-equivalence, +invalidity, profile dependence, or loss is expected. Canonical digest equality +is used only for identity under the named canonicalization profile; it is not +treated as proof of behavioral or scientific equivalence. + +Human study subjects are not SDL participants. Actual recruitment and data +collection require applicable ethics, consent, privacy, and data-protection +review. Only minimized pseudonymous observations or aggregates may be +committed. Names, addresses, recordings, raw chats/prompts, keystroke streams, +free-form biographies, credentials, private backend output, and pseudonym +linkage keys are prohibited from the repository bundle. + +## Execution and reproduction + +Before execution: + +1. obtain and record the applicable ethics/privacy approval; +2. freeze task materials, sealed intended semantics, reviewer rubrics, balanced + task order, recruitment deadline, and pseudonym handling outside the public + reviewer packet; +3. verify the ACES revision and every public surface named by the snapshot; +4. assign tooling and assistance conditions without environment-selected + semantics; and +5. run the integrity gate. + +During execution, preserve missing, abandoned, tool-failed, and withdrawn +attempts according to the preregistered denominator rules. Every active subject +must receive the two structured workload groups in the execution plan: at least +one constructive or underspecified task and at least one challenge or independent +review task appropriate to that subject's persona. Every measure declares its +applicable task, variant, and artifact stages. Each non-withdrawn attempt must +contain exactly one observation for every resulting attempt-measure-stage +opportunity; measures are aggregated only after that stage coverage is closed. +Missing, abandoned, and tool-failed opportunities remain explicit rows; +withdrawn opportunities are derived from the matching withdrawal and attempt +records and are excluded from the denominator. Fix each independent review +judgment before revealing intended semantics. Adjudication adds a new record and +never replaces the original disagreement. Diagnostics are captured exactly as +the selected public entrypoint emits them; missing structure is a finding, not +permission to inspect source or rewrite the response. + +Run the focused integrity gate with: + +```bash +implementations/python/.venv/bin/python tools/check_dsl_language_evaluation.py +``` + +The checker validates bounded duplicate-safe JSON, closed shapes, stable IDs, +catalog and cross-artifact joins, source pins, repository path containment, +secret-safe locators, the closed subject-attempt-observation-review graph, +per-subject workload assignment, the protocol-derived task-variant-stage +opportunity matrix, recomputed measure results with outcome counts, complete +execution coverage, preserved disagreements, and ADR-021 evidence-status +promotion. It performs no network access, backend deployment, shell evaluation, +or private-data lookup. The same check runs once in the canonical nox contracts +graph. + +## Interpretation boundary + +`demonstrated` is permitted only for the exact preregistered population, tasks, +conditions, ACES revision, and public surfaces after every dimension passes and +coverage is complete. `partial` preserves incomplete but relevant evidence. +Any objective fail criterion yields `refuted`; absent execution remains +`untested`. + +Failed observations are evidence. Product fixes belong to separately scoped +issues and owning SDL/specification/test surfaces.

Each closed value contains a VM +`target_ref`, an `ssh` or `rdp` channel, and an optional authored `account_ref`. + +The optional account must belong to the target VM and already be present in the +participant's `starting_accounts`; the access declaration does not become a +second implicit credential grant. A target/channel pair is unique within one +participant after canonical reference resolution, while different participants +may independently receive the same carrier. + +The declaration is authored availability only. It does not imply operating +scope, action authority, a shell tool affordance, apparatus support, caller +authentication, credential delivery, listener presence, runtime session state, +or realization evidence. Absence means no authored interactive access, and no +other SDL or runtime fact creates one by inference. diff --git a/docs/research/participant-io-control/adoption-design.md b/docs/research/participant-io-control/adoption-design.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..45b841d04 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/research/participant-io-control/adoption-design.md @@ -0,0 +1,402 @@ +# Participant Information-Flow And Control Adoption Design + +This is the detailed design behind +[ADR-085](../../decisions/adrs/adr-085-participant-information-flow-and-control.md). +It is normative only through accepted ADRs, future requirement implementation, +and published contract/formal authorities.

A label +can project to its full form, a redacted form, a stable visible occurrence, or +`tau`. Hiding is therefore participant-, audience-, policy-, and order-relative. +Global event ids remain controlled runtime/audit identities unless the policy +projects them. Repeated equal/redacted events retain distinct visible +occurrence ids. + +## Ordering and policy change + +Every decision and realization names its order basis and effective order. The +model supports: + +- participant-local sequence; +- causal/happens-before partial order; +- declared simultaneity groups; +- scheduler or backend serialization; +- logical/simulation time; and +- wall-clock occurrence/record/ingest time as evidence, not implicit order. + +Policy revisions are ordered state transitions. The revision effective at the +decision order governs the decision. A later policy cannot authorize an +earlier crossing. A decision with a validity interval cannot be applied after +expiry, supersession, controller handoff, subject reset, or conflicting state +change. Retries preserve idempotency identity but receive a new decision when +policy or relevant state changed. + +Concurrent control decisions use declared conflict rules. At minimum, the +implementation distinguishes duplicate, compatible, stale, conflicting, +superseded, and unauthorized decisions. Last-writer-wins or timestamp order is +not a portable rule unless explicitly declared as a weakened realization. + +## Deny-first decision composition + +The boundary evaluates independent gates in this order without allowing one +success to override another failure: + +1. validate closed request/carrier shape and bounded size; +2. authenticate the caller and bind the control-plane target; +3. bind the principal to the participant subject or authorized controller; +4. resolve participant authority, operating scope, and controller state; +5. resolve action/projection/inject/intervention semantics and policy revision; +6. evaluate SEM-211 eligibility/admission for actionable ingress; +7. evaluate audience, visibility, markings, and declassification for egress; +8. validate required backend feature support and permitted weakening; +9. apply governed transformation/projection and revalidate its result; +10. persist decision, realization expectation, evidence, provenance, and audit; +11. serialize only the governed result through the bounded error/output + envelope. + +Unknown or unresolved required facts reject or report unsupported according to +the owning contract; they never default to permit. Operator authorization +cannot impersonate the participant. Backend capability cannot grant semantic +authority. Visibility cannot imply action eligibility. + +## Information-flow operations + +The operations in +[`adoption-program.json`](adoption-program.json) are distinct contract states. +Important composition rules are: + +- authorization precedes disclosure and admission; +- redaction follows authorization and does not widen it; +- declassification supplies a governed release basis, but participant/audience + scope and observation policy still apply; +- masking/projection can reduce content but is not evidence that the source was + authorized; +- withholding records non-delivery and does not erase the request; +- concealment/revocation affect future projections, not prior knowledge; +- loss/weakening must be visible to the claim consumer and cannot be labelled + successful protection; and +- transformed actions are validated/admitted as new proposals. + +Derived content inherits source classification, field markings, provenance, +and disclosure restrictions. Only an explicit declassification rule may +weaken markings; a generic transformation or summary does not. + +## Information-flow and behavioral relations + +### Policy noninterference + +Let `~[p,r]` be low equivalence for participant `p` and policy revision sequence +`r`. Let `purge[p,r](alpha)` remove unauthorized high actions while retaining +the low inputs and explicitly permitted declassification events. Let +`Pi[p,r]` project a run to the participant-visible ordered history. + +For a declared model `M`, environment class `E`, scheduler class `S`, and order +model `O`, the intended obligation is: + +```text +s1 ~[p,r] s2 +and purge[p,r](alpha1) = purge[p,r](alpha2) +and equal permitted declassification schedules +implies +{Pi[p,r](run(M, s1, alpha1, E, S, O))} + = +{Pi[p,r](run(M, s2, alpha2, E, S, O))} +``` + +Braces denote sets when the selected model is nondeterministic. A probabilistic +claim compares measures rather than support sets and needs a separate governed +relation. A partial-order claim compares the declared visible order relation, +not an arbitrary linearization. + +The baseline claim is termination- and progress-insensitive and excludes +wall-clock timing. A stronger termination-, progress-, timing-, probabilistic-, +or scheduler-sensitive claim must select those dimensions explicitly. Dynamic +policy and declassification are part of `r`; they are not exceptions described +only in prose. + +No current artifact proves this obligation.

The model +records separate transitions for proposal, approval/denial, direction, +intervention, controller handoff, override, cancellation, admission, attempt, +result, observation, and handoff completion. + +Approval targets one proposal/revision and expires or becomes stale under its +declared rules. A handoff changes controller state; it does not change +participant identity or rewrite prior provenance. An override/cancellation is +an ordered event and may race with admission or execution, producing an +explicit conflict/partial outcome rather than retroactive fiction. + +Control-plane authentication, operator/auditor role, participant subject, +controller authority, action authority, and participant visibility remain +separate. Issue #251 owns authored semantics, #252 contracts, and #255 runtime. + +## Participant-directed injects + +A participant-directed inject has: + +- its original DSL-111 inject id and schedule/order; +- participant addressee and episode/selection rule; +- typed content/payload ref and markings; +- observation/disclosure policy ref and revision; +- delivery deadline/order and failure behavior; +- optional external-direction/intervention ref; +- decision, receipt, observation/history, evidence, and provenance refs; and +- backend support and loss/weakening disclosure. + +Scheduling does not imply delivery; delivery does not imply observation; +observation does not imply action. Environment injects keep no participant +addressee and influence participants only through ordinary world-to-view +projection. + +## Portable contract design + +API-423 adds closed relation records, not payload carriers. The minimum +contract family is expected to include: + +- crossing request/decision record; +- transformation/projection record; +- disclosure/declassification record or typed subrecord; +- delivery/realization link; and +- policy/backend/evidence disclosure references. + +Before publishing a new carrier, each issue tests reuse of ADR-054 base +envelopes, API-406 carriers, API-409 control records, API-408 context/history +views, ADR-083 decision surfaces, and existing evidence/provenance refs. + +Contracts use `ContractModel(extra="forbid")`, governed vocabularies, semantic +reference validation, generated schemas, valid/invalid fixtures, publication- +manifest change accounting, and ADR-061 compatibility classification. Secrets, +policy bodies, raw hidden payloads, backend objects, and unbounded diagnostics +are excluded. + +## Runtime design + +RUN-319 extends, rather than bypasses: + +- `ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest` and SEM-211 validation; +- `ParticipantControlMixin` and existing lifecycle transitions; +- observation boundaries, `V[p,e,o,r]`, API-408 projections, and exposure + evidence; +- `RuntimeSnapshot`, participant behavior/observation/control histories, and + `ControlPlaneStore`; +- control-plane strict defaults, identities/roles, target binding, request + limits, idempotency, fingerprints, bounded diagnostics, and redacted 500s; + and +- `AuditEvent` plus evidence/provenance carriers. + +Decision and realization records are append-only. Retrying, restarting, or +replaying does not delete or mutate earlier decisions. Policy changes, +controller changes, redactions, and declassifications are history events. Raw +backend logs are evidence inputs, not policy decisions or participant output. + +## Backend obligations + +API-407 feature-support entries cover admission, projection, marking, +declassification, transformation, supervisory control, directed inject +delivery, ordering, persistence, evidence, and replay guarantees. Each entry +uses governed strength, limitations, disclosures, and evidence criteria. + +Effective support is the meet across backend engine, adapter, participant +apparatus, policy evaluator, clock/order source, projection/redaction stage, +evidence store, and replay/conformance path. A strong component cannot hide a +weak one. Missing required support rejects target selection/admission. A +permitted weaker realization is policy-authorized, provenance-bound, disclosed, +and stripped of the stronger claim. + +`BackendConformanceReport` records finite cases and explicit nonclaims. Passing +those cases is not universal runtime realization or behavioral proof. + +## Assurance progression + +1. **Defined:** revisioned policy, labels, relations, clauses, and nonclaims. +2. **Structurally implemented:** closed contracts and governed vocabularies. +3. **Semantically implemented:** validators and transition/projection logic. +4. **Tested:** positive, negative, property, concurrency, replay, and leakage + cases. +5. **Bounded model checked:** finite model, bound, tool/version, assumptions, + state count, result/counterexample, artifact digest, and reproduction command. +6. **Proved:** theorem, quantified model, assumptions, proof artifact/checker, + and independent reproducibility. +7. **Runtime realized:** named backend/adapter/apparatus version and evidence. + +No level promotes another automatically. ASR-535 integrates with the existing +relation catalog, behavioral claim bindings, conformance runners, and +scientific-completeness assessment. + +## Compatibility and staged adoption + +The dependency order is: + +```text +semantic authority + -> authored affordance/control/inject bindings + -> portable contracts + -> backend capability declarations + -> supervisory and policy runtime enforcement + -> conformance/formal assurance + -> migration + -> explanatory documentation +``` + +Legacy artifacts retain their historical semantics. A missing policy/crossing +record is legacy/unknown/unsupported according to the profile, not exact +enforcement. Migration preserves source/result identity, markings, provenance, +evidence, order, and disclosed loss. Breaking published-shape changes follow +ADR-061; accepted ADRs change only through ADR-059 amendment/supersession. + +## Explicit non-goals and nonclaims + +- No universal participant gateway,

Their +statements and scopes are recorded in +[`requirement-disposition.md`](requirement-disposition.md). DRAFT means +authorized work remains to be implemented; it is not completion. + +## Existing thread disposition + +### Participant semantics: #71, SEM-208 through SEM-213, ADR-022 + +[ADR-022](../../decisions/adrs/adr-022-participant-behavior-and-interaction-semantics.md) +is accepted. It distinguishes world truth, participant-visible state, local +history, and archival evidence; makes actions semantic contracts; models +interaction; and makes information boundaries first-class. The formal +`specs/formal/participant-semantics/README.md` specification defines `W_t`, +`V_p,t`, `H_p,t`, observations, actions, joint actions, invariants, and +section-per-UID implementation mappings. + +Implementation exists in: + +- `implementations/python/packages/aces_sdl/participant_behavior.py` and + `participant_action_semantics.py`; +- `implementations/python/packages/aces_sdl/semantics/participant_behavior.py`; +- `implementations/python/packages/aces_processor/compiler/` and + `aces_processor/models/`; +- `implementations/python/packages/aces_contracts/contracts.py`; and +- `implementations/python/packages/aces_conformance/conformance.py`. + +Tests include `test_sem_208_participant_behavior.py`, +`test_sem_211_participant_action_semantics.py`, +`test_sem_212_participant_attribution_semantics.py`, +`test_sem_213_temporal_participant_semantics.py`, and +`test_participant_semantics_invariant_oracle.py`. + +These artifacts establish typed and tested semantic slices. They do not define +a revisioned IFC policy, purge/low-equivalence relation, declassification +authority, common crossing decision, or universal proof. The formal spec's +opening sufficiency text predates later implementations and must not be used as +the sole current status source; its per-UID implementation sections and live +traceability are the more precise evidence. + +Disposition: reuse ADR-022 and SEM-208 through SEM-213. Compose them under +SEM-230; do not replace or silently amend their accepted meaning. + +### Participant runtime: #74, RUN-305 through RUN-308, ADR-054 + +[ADR-054](../../decisions/adrs/adr-054-participant-runtime-observable-lifecycle.md) +is accepted. It defines observable proposal/admission/attempt/observation/state +points, closed realization/disposition vocabularies, identity/provenance/ +marking envelopes, participant information guarantees, ordering, shared state, +and concurrency. The formal design in +`specs/formal/participant-runtime/README.md` separates episode, behavior, +operation, observation, shared-state, and interaction records. + +Reusable implementation includes +`ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest` and +`participant_action_admission_request_violations()` in +`aces_contracts/participant_binding.py`, `ParticipantControlMixin` in +`aces_runtime/participant_control.py`, `RuntimeSnapshot` in +`aces_contracts/runtime_state.py`, and `ControlPlaneStore` in +`aces_runtime/control_plane_store.py`. + +RUN-306 through RUN-308 have implementation/test traceability. RUN-305 has a +bounded append-only state/history implementation and test but remains DRAFT in +Ground Control and has incomplete implementation traceability. Even the +delivered runtime slices do not create one ingress/egress policy path or prove +backend realization. + +Disposition: reuse lifecycle, envelope, order, state, persistence, and history +incumbents. RUN-319 adds enforcement/evidence obligations; it does not add +another lifecycle or store. + +### Affordances, decision surfaces, and exposure: #119 and #294-#296 + +[ADR-083](../../decisions/adrs/adr-083-participant-tool-decision-surface-and-exposure-semantics.md) +is proposed and issue #119 is closed. It correctly separates action meaning, +authored availability, apparatus support, run selection, current decision +surface, realized exposure, and decision/outcome. It refines the existing +participant view rather than inventing a second visibility system. + +Ground Control has only documentation links for SEM-219, SEM-220, and SEM-226; +issues [#294](https://github.com/Brad-Edwards/aces/issues/294), +[#295](https://github.com/Brad-Edwards/aces/issues/295), and +[#296](https://github.com/Brad-Edwards/aces/issues/296) remain open. Therefore +the ADR and formal matrix establish design, not runtime mediation or delivered +exposure. + +Disposition: retain and strengthen the three issues under this program. SEM-226 +composes with SEM-230 but keeps its existing `V_p,o` authority. + +### Behavioral relations: #747, ADR-081, and revision 1 + +[ADR-081](../../decisions/adrs/adr-081-behavioral-relation-taxonomy-and-claim-discipline.md) +is accepted. The normative `specs/formal/behavioral-relations/README.md` +specification and `contracts/concept-authority/behavioral-relations-v1.json` +define structural and semantic validity, capability declarations, bounded probes, trace +inclusion/equivalence, simulations, refinement, strong/weak bisimulation, +projected-history equality, epistemic and strategic relations, and empirical +relations. `BehavioralClaimBindingModel`, policy checks, counterexamples, and +property tests are implemented. + +Revision 1 deliberately does not prove universal trace inclusion, equivalence, +simulation, refinement, bisimulation, epistemic, strategic, probabilistic, +timed, or partial-order relations. It has no governed noninterference relation. +`participant-projected-history-equivalence` compares two bounded histories +under the same participant and policy projection; it is not information-flow +noninterference. + +Disposition: reuse the catalog and binding discipline. SEM-230/ASR-535 may add +or bind a governed policy-noninterference relation through the catalog's normal +revision process; no local IFC synonym or proof shortcut is permitted. + +### Mixed control: ACT-617, API-409, RUN-310, #251, #252, and #255 + +The three requirements and issues are DRAFT/open. Existing behavior modes, +admission dispositions, actor provenance, lifecycle events, and histories are +adjacent primitives. They do not distinguish controller state, proposal, +approval, direction, intervention, handoff, override, cancellation, execution, +and observation. + +Disposition: amend and implement the existing requirements rather than replace +them. #251 owns authored/controller semantics, #252 owns portable contracts, +and #255 owns runtime lifecycle. All three now have bounded scope and ordered +dependencies in milestone 67. + +### Backend-facing carriers and capabilities: API-406/API-407 + +[ADR-060](../../decisions/adrs/adr-060-participant-backend-facing-contract-surface.md) +is proposed. `ParticipantRuntimeBaseEnvelopeModel`, +`ParticipantObservationEnvelopeModel`, runtime snapshot/history carriers, +`ParticipantFeatureSupportModel`, `ParticipantRuntimeCapabilitiesModel`, and +`BackendManifestV2Model` are published from +`aces_contracts/contracts.py`. `participant_runtime_capability_contract_gaps()` +and `BackendConformanceReport` provide the canonical capability/conformance +seams. + +API-406 is ACTIVE with implementation/test evidence. API-407 is ACTIVE and +already owns governed feature support, constraints, disclosure, and strength. +Neither currently records the common policy decision for an ingress/egress +crossing or the new participant-control features. + +Disposition: API-423 composes typed crossing/evidence refs with existing +carriers. API-407 is amended through #801; no backend-specific DTO family or +capability booleans are added. + +### Orchestration injects: DSL-111 + +`aces_sdl/orchestration.py` defines `Inject`; scenario, composition, validation, +planning, compilation, published schemas, and tests preserve inject/event/ +script/story identity and schedule. These are orchestration resources. They do +not bind a participant addressee, observation boundary, authorization, +declassification, delivery receipt, or participant behavior history. + +Disposition: reuse DSL-111 unchanged. DSL-142 adds the missing participant- +directed binding/delivery semantics. Environment injects remain orchestration +events and become participant-visible only through normal projection. + +### Scientific completeness finding + +`contracts/profiles/scientific-completeness/delivery-assessment-2026-07-12.json` +marks `participant-action-observation` partial because action contracts and +observation boundaries exist but participant-relative information-flow +admission is incomplete. It marks the behavioral-relation taxonomy implemented +while explicitly retaining universal relation nonclaims. + +Disposition: preserve this as a delivery assessment, not authority or proof. +Update it only after shipped evidence from the child issues changes the status. + +## Cross-cutting implementation inventory + +| Concern | Canonical incumbent | Gap for adoption | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Authored input | `load_sdl_yaml()`, `SDLModel(extra="forbid")`, `SemanticValidator`, instantiation/revalidation | New governed refs and inject bindings only after authority exists. | +| Admission | `ParticipantActionAdmissionRequest`, SEM-211, `ParticipantControlMixin` | No common policy revision/decision/evidence across all ingress kinds. | +| Projection | observation boundaries, `V_p,o`, `participant_retrieval._project_scope()` | API-408 projection is not participant-safe enforcement by itself. | +| Security | `ControlPlaneSecurityConfig.strict_defaults()`, identity/role/target binding, request size, idempotency/fingerprint | Authenticated operator authority is not participant subject/visibility authority. | +| Error handling | `Diagnostic`, bounded 4xx details, redacted `{"detail":"internal server error"}` | New decisions must not echo hidden policy or payload content. | +| Persistence/audit | `RuntimeSnapshot`, `ControlPlaneStore`, `AuditEvent`, behavior/observation/evidence histories | No append-only crossing-decision/realization relation yet. | +| Contracts | `ContractModel`, ADR-054 envelopes, API-406/API-409 refs | No shared policy/transformation/disposition/evidence record. | +| Backend support | API-405/407 manifests and capability-gap diagnostics | Missing participant-control feature identifiers and evidence criteria. | +| Conformance | `BackendConformanceReport`, fixture/target runners, relation bindings | Missing adversarial IFC/declassification/weakening cases. | +| Governance | schema bundle/publication manifest, concept authority, ADR-061, Ground Control | New requirements/issues must precede implementation and preserve claim status. | + +No new logger, exception hierarchy, environment binding, secret loader, +subprocess, gateway store, or authentication stack is needed. + +## Gap and overlap analysis + +Already adequate and reused unchanged: + +- world/view/history/evidence separation; +- typed action, observation, lifecycle, shared-state, ordering, and provenance + incumbents; +- API-407 feature-support pattern; +- behavioral-relation catalog and claim bindings; +- control-plane security, persistence, audit, and redacted errors; and +- schema/concept/compatibility governance. + +Authorities that require composition or amendment: + +- SEM-226 exposure with SEM-230 policy operations; +- ACT-617/API-409/RUN-310 for explicit mixed-control transitions; +- API-407 for participant-control features; and +- the relation catalog if `policy-noninterference` becomes a governed relation. + +Missing authorities supplied by this program: + +- SEM-230 policy semantics; +- DSL-142 participant-directed inject delivery; +- API-423 crossing policy/evidence contracts; +- RUN-319 enforcement/persistence; and +- ASR-535 falsification and formal-assurance progression. + +Terminology that must not collapse: + +- action mask, decision-surface membership, eligibility, admission, execution, + and outcome; +- visibility, authorization, disclosure, declassification, redaction, + withholding, concealment, revocation, loss, and unsupported behavior; +- environment inject, participant disclosure, external direction, and + intervention; +- projected-history equality, trace inclusion, simulation, refinement, + noninterference, and bisimulation; and +- definition, implementation, test, proof/model check, and runtime realization. + +## Assessment nonclaims + +This artifact does not implement the program, accept ADR-085, transition any +new requirement ACTIVE, prove any behavioral or information-flow relation, +select a gateway, or certify a backend.

It is how ACES +can describe a bounded family of valid cyber-range scenarios, select trials as +part of an experiment, realize every selected trial deterministically, and +preserve enough provenance to make scientific claims without allowing a +scheduler, backend, or mutable runtime state to become a second source of +scenario meaning. + +The review prioritizes normative specifications, official project +documentation, and original papers. Secondary surveys were used only to locate +primary work. The transfer question for every source is explicit: which +property is useful to ACES, and which authority boundary must not be imported +with it? + +## Typed Configuration And Module Languages + +### CUE: constraints as values + +The [CUE language specification](https://cuelang.org/docs/reference/spec/) +models values in a lattice and defines unification as commutative, +associative, and idempotent. That makes evaluation order irrelevant for the +core constraint operation. Disjunction supplies a typed alternative surface, +while closed structures and concrete-value checks distinguish a constraint +from a completed configuration. + +Useful transfer: + +- a declared domain and a selected concrete value should be different phases; +- intersection of constraints should be deterministic and fail with no value + when the intersection is empty; and +- alternatives should be members of a closed union rather than callbacks or + arbitrary document patches. + +Limit: ACES does not adopt CUE evaluation, comprehensions, interpolation, or a +general constraint language. SDL remains the normative language, and the +selected scenario must pass its ordinary semantic validator. + +### Dhall: total configuration and import integrity + +The [Dhall Language Tour](https://docs.dhall-lang.org/tutorials/Language-Tour.html) +describes a total, strongly typed configuration language with typed records, +unions, functions, imports, semantic hashes, and normalization. Dhall's import +hashes demonstrate that reproducible composition requires the imported +content and resolution semantics to be identified, not just an author-provided +path. + +Useful transfer: preserve trusted, digest-pinned module resolution before +selection, and make normalized artifacts independent of checkout location. +Limit: functions and arbitrary normalization are deliberately outside the SDL +variation surface. ADR-053 and ADR-078 already own the narrower ACES import and +phase model. + +### Jsonnet: programmable generation is powerful but changes the trust model + +The [Jsonnet specification](https://jsonnet.org/ref/spec.html) defines a lazy, +pure functional configuration language with objects, inheritance, local +bindings, comprehensions, and functions. It shows why a configuration program +can generate families compactly, but also why adopting one would move +authorship, termination, diagnostics, and review into another evaluator. + +Useful transfer: distinguish reusable declarations from their manifested JSON +result. Limit: ACES rejects an embedded configuration program; scenario +variation must remain finite or otherwise explicitly bounded, typed, and +reviewable without executing author code. + +### Terraform: stable instance keys matter + +Terraform separates +[declared input variables](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/values/variables) +from resource instances, and its +[`for_each` meta-argument](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/meta-arguments/for_each) +uses map keys or set members to identify instances. This is a useful warning: +positional expansion or value-derived names make identity churn when an +unrelated item is inserted or a parameter changes. + +Useful transfer: variation-point ids, logical trial coordinates, and selected +declaration ids must be stable symbols. Limit: ACES does not inherit +Terraform's resource state, provider lifecycle, or plan/apply semantics. + +### Common Workflow Language: explicit scatter products + +The [CWL Workflow specification](https://www.commonwl.org/v1.2/Workflow.html) +makes scatter expansion explicit and distinguishes dot-product, +flat-cross-product, and nested-cross-product methods. This prevents a list of +factors from silently implying a product shape. + +Useful transfer: an experiment selection policy must state whether it +enumerates, zips, samples, blocks, or crosses domains, and it must assign +stable logical coordinates before execution. Limit: ACES trial compilation is +not a dataflow workflow engine, and scheduler concurrency cannot influence the +expansion result. + +### Language-design conclusion + +The strongest shared lesson is phase separation: + +```text +declaration + bounded domain -> validated family -> concrete selection +``` + +Generic template or evaluation languages offer expressiveness by allowing +authors to compute structure. ACES instead needs inspectability, boundedness, +portable diagnostics, and stable identity. The appropriate seam is therefore +a closed variation-point union and a separate experiment selection policy, +not a second language runtime. + +## Simulation Experiment And Model Separation + +### MIASE and SED-ML + +The original +[MIASE paper](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001122) distinguishes the +models used by a simulation from the simulation procedures, their order, +intermediate processing, and outputs. It also distinguishes reproducibility +of an experiment from identical numerical results. The +[SED-ML specifications](https://sed-ml.org/specifications.html) operationalize +the same separation with model references, simulation descriptions, tasks, +repeated tasks, data generators, and outputs. + +Useful transfer: + +- the SDL scenario family is not the experiment design; +- parameter scans, allocation, repetition, and stochastic policy belong to an + experiment artifact that references the model/family; +- the selected procedure and transformations must be preserved alongside the + selected values; and +- replay support is a claim bounded by preserved inputs, algorithms, + apparatus, and unavailable external state. + +Limit: ACES is not claiming SED-ML or MIASE conformance, numerical equivalence +across backends, or a particular simulation algorithm. + +### SSP and FMI + +The Modelica Association's +[System Structure and Parameterization specification](https://ssp-standard.org/docs/main/) +separates system structure, component references, connections, and parameter +bindings. The +[Functional Mock-up Interface 3.0.2 specification](https://fmi-standard.org/docs/3.0.2/) +defines a portable execution interface with variables, causality, variability, +clocks, state, and co-simulation/model-exchange roles. + +Useful transfer: parameter binding should target declared typed locations, +and a backend execution interface should consume an already-defined model +rather than reinterpret its experimental design. Limit: FMI variables and SSP +parameter sets do not define ACES scenario identity, experiment allocation, or +cyber-range backend feasibility. + +### Experimental frames + +Zeigler's work on +[modular separation between models and experimental frames](https://doi.org/10.1080/03081078408934871) +treats the conditions under which a model is observed or exercised as a +separate concern. This supports ACES's existing scenario/task/apparatus split: +the scenario states possible world meaning, while task, experiment, and +apparatus artifacts state how that meaning is exercised and observed. + +Limit: ACES does not adopt DEVS as its execution semantics. The transfer is the +separation principle, not the formalism. + +## Reproducible Random Streams And Parallel Execution + +### A seed does not identify an algorithm + +The [NumPy random design](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/) +separates a bit generator from distribution transforms and documents multiple +parallel-generation patterns. Its +[compatibility policy](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/compatibility.html) +and [NEP 19](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0019-rng-policy.html) are especially +important: a reproducibility promise must say which layer is stable. A seed +alone omits the generator, seed-to-state mixing, bit interpretation, +distribution transformation, and library/version behavior. + +Therefore an ACES random-stream profile must identify: + +1. generator family and version; +2. seed value and canonical seed encoding; +3. canonical semantic-address encoding and derivation function; +4. integer/real conversion and distribution/sampling transformation versions; +5. rejection/exhaustion semantics; and +6. the compatibility promise for that complete profile. + +### Streams must follow semantic coordinates + +L'Ecuyer and colleagues' original +[streams and substreams work](https://doi.org/10.1287/opre.50.6.1073.358) +shows how independently addressable streams support simulation organization. +NumPy's +[`SeedSequence`](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/bit_generators/generated/numpy.random.SeedSequence.html) +mixes entropy reproducibly and derives child streams through a spawn key. +These are useful mechanisms, but a spawn sequence tied to worker creation order +would still be wrong for ACES. + +An ACES stream address must instead be a canonical tuple of immutable semantic +coordinates, for example: + +```text +(explicit randomness namespace, + logical trial coordinate, + policy or variation-point id, + draw purpose, + local draw coordinate) +``` + +Worker id, process id, thread id, host, queue position, wall time, completion +order, retry number, and map iteration order are forbidden address inputs. +The aggregate experiment-spec identity/digest is also forbidden: an unrelated +metadata edit would otherwise re-key every stream. The experiment instead owns +a stable randomness namespace and root seed. Retaining them requests common +random numbers at unchanged addresses; an independent randomization explicitly +rotates the namespace or seed. Adding a draw for one variation point must not +perturb another point. + +### Counter-based generation is the reference design shape + +The original +[Random123 paper](https://www.thesalmons.org/john/random123/papers/random123sc11.pdf) +and [project](https://random123.com/) describe counter-based generators where +a random block is a stateless function of a counter and key. This shape makes +random access and parallel evaluation natural: scheduling does not advance a +shared mutable state. + +ACES need not select Random123 in this design issue. It should, however, require +the same externally visible property: a draw is determined from its governed +profile and semantic address, never from how many draws happened to occur on a +worker. A future implementation may use a counter-based generator or a +carefully specified derivation of independent stateful streams, provided it +passes the schedule-permutation and non-interference properties. + +## Experimental Coverage And Sampling + +NIST's +[combinatorial coverage measurement](https://www.nist.gov/publications/combinatorial-coverage-measurement) +measures which t-way combinations of parameter values a test set covers. It +supports a useful distinction between a scenario-family domain and a policy +that chooses a subset of that domain. Pairwise or t-way coverage is a selection +objective, not part of scenario validity and not proof of behavioral coverage. + +A selection policy may therefore enumerate, sample, block, stratify, or target +combinatorial coverage. It must record the domain version, policy version, +logical coordinates, exclusions, and achieved/target coverage disclosure. A +backend may reject an unrealizable point, but may not replace it with a nearby +point and claim the original coverage. + +## Cyber Playbooks, CTI, And Range Generation + +### CACAO, ATT&CK, STIX, and Attack Flow + +[CACAO Security Playbooks 2.0](https://docs.oasis-open.org/cacao/security-playbooks/v2.0/security-playbooks-v2.0.pdf) +defines a portable playbook vocabulary with workflow steps, commands, +variables, targets, and control flow. It is useful alignment material for +declared attack/defense procedures, but a CACAO playbook is neither an ACES +topology nor an experiment allocation. + +[STIX 2.1](https://docs.oasis-open.org/cti/stix/v2.1/stix-v2.1.html) +is a CTI object and relationship language. MITRE states that the +[ATT&CK STIX dataset](https://attack.mitre.org/resources/attack-data-and-tools/) +is its most granular machine-readable representation. The +[ATT&CK Navigator](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator) annotates +and visualizes matrices and coverage, while +[Attack Flow](https://github.com/center-for-threat-informed-defense/attack-flow) +represents how ATT&CK techniques are composed into attacks. + +Useful transfer: + +- retain external object ids, revisions, mappings, and source digests; +- represent logical technique/action order explicitly when it has scenario + meaning; +- measure ATT&CK coverage against revision-pinned technique sets; and +- treat CTI/layers/flows as evidence-bearing candidate inputs, not as trusted + executable SDL or runtime selectors. + +Limit: ATT&CK membership does not supply preconditions, effects, infrastructure, +credentials, concrete commands, success criteria, evidence requirements, or +backend feasibility. An automated mapping must emit candidates that pass the +ordinary authoring, trust, semantic-validation, and trial-admission gates. + +### CALDERA and Atomic Red Team + +MITRE CALDERA distinguishes abilities, adversary profiles, operations, agents, +facts, and objectives in its +[terminology](https://caldera.readthedocs.io/en/2.7/Learning-the-terminology.html) +and [objective model](https://caldera.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Objectives.html). +Facts can feed ability variables during an operation. This demonstrates useful +late binding, but it also demonstrates the authority risk: discovered runtime +facts must not silently become pre-run factor selection or scenario topology. + +[Atomic Red Team](https://github.com/redcanaryco/atomic-red-team) publishes +small ATT&CK-mapped tests with explicit input arguments, dependencies, execute +commands, and cleanup commands. It demonstrates the value of bounded, +inspectable inputs and reusable atomic actions. It does not supply a scientific +trial compiler or an ACES campaign composition model. + +### Planning and cyber-range generation + +The [PDDL reference](https://ipc06.icaps-conference.org/deterministic/pddl.html) +separates a planning domain from a problem instance and makes action +preconditions/effects explicit. Cyber-range work including +[VSDL](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.06681) and +[CRACK](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2020.101837) uses DSLs, model +verification, generation, and automated testing to reduce scenario-authoring +cost. + +Useful transfer: generation should produce a reviewable candidate with a +declared constraint/model basis, followed by independent validation and +admission. Limit: a planner, LLM, CTI mapper, or generator is not SDL semantic +authority. It cannot mint imports, bypass trust, invent unbounded values, or +turn a failed candidate into a different admitted trial through hidden search. + +## Adaptive Difficulty And Benchmark Validity + +Hunicke and Chapman's +[Hamlet](https://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~hunicke/pubs/Hamlet.pdf) models +dynamic difficulty adjustment as a control problem driven by predicted player +performance. The lesson is not a particular controller; it is that adaptation +has a policy, observations, trigger, intervention, and outcome that must be +separable and inspectable. + +For training, an adaptive intervention may be desirable. For benchmarking, it +changes the treatment received and can destroy comparability if hidden. ACES +must therefore preserve the admitted baseline trial and record any adaptive +intervention as a later run event with policy identity, observation basis, +trigger, action, timing, and effect disclosure. A derived follow-up trial needs +a new admitted run identity linked to the source run. Runtime performance may +never retroactively rewrite baseline factors, snapshot identity, or random +streams. + +## Rejected Architecture Families + +### Arbitrary templates, expressions, callbacks, or patches + +Rejected because they can compute unbounded structure, target unstable document +paths, hide dependencies, weaken static review, and require another evaluator +and security model. JSON Patch also lets selected values mutate identity-bearing +fields unless a second semantic access-control language is invented. + +### Ambient or worker-local randomness + +Rejected because OS entropy, process-global RNG state, worker allocation, retry +count, and traversal order make the trial set depend on scheduling. Recording a +seed after the fact does not repair an unspecified generator/draw contract. + +### One shared mutable parameter or fact store + +Rejected because reads become time-dependent, authorization and redaction +boundaries blur, retries can observe different values, and runtime discoveries +can retroactively change experiment meaning. Pre-run selections belong in a +sealed admitted plan; runtime observations may fill only typed late-bound sinks. + +### Backend-directed selection or resampling + +Rejected because feasibility and selection are different authorities. A +backend envelope can prove or refute realizability of a selected point; it may +not choose the scientific treatment. Failure must remain visible. + +### Trial as a second archival root + +Rejected because ADR-068 and ADR-065 already make one execution one +`experiment-run-v1` record. The plan entry preallocates that run identity; it +does not create a parallel trial provenance graph. + +## Derived Design Criteria + +The research yields the following criteria for the binding design: + +1. **One phase, one authority.** Composition, family validity, experiment + selection, trial admission, instantiation, runtime fact binding, backend + realization, scheduling, and archival provenance have named owners. +2. **Composition closes first.** All imports are trusted, resolved, namespace + qualified, and digested before any trial selection. +3. **Stable symbols.** Declaration, variation-point, policy, and logical-trial + ids do not depend on selected values, source paths, or worker order. +4. **Closed bounded variation.** Scalar/reference domains, alternatives, + subsets, constrained order, and logical timing are closed discriminated + kinds with explicit bounds. +5. **Independent validity.** Every structural alternative must be semantically + valid when selected; a family declaration is not permission to emit an + invalid intermediate scenario. +6. **Selection is experiment design.** Enumeration, crossing, sampling, + allocation, blocking, and coverage belong to experiment policies, not SDL + composition or backend behavior. +7. **Scenario and backend domains differ.** Scenario membership is checked + before realization-envelope membership/subsumption. +8. **Profile the full RNG stack.** Generator, seed encoding, address + derivation, canonical input, transformations, and exhaustion are versioned. +9. **Semantic stream addressing.** Streams derive from an explicit stable + randomness namespace plus trial/policy/purpose coordinates, never the + aggregate experiment digest. +10. **Stream non-interference.** A draw added to one concern cannot perturb + another concern's selected value. +11. **Schedule independence.** Serial, parallel, batched, reordered, retried, + and cross-process compilation produces byte-identical admitted plans. +12. **Fail closed.** Empty domains, exhausted constraints, invalid choices, + duplicate coordinates, and apparatus mismatch produce no plan. +13. **One planned/executed identity.** A plan entry's preallocated run id + becomes the archival run id when execution starts. +14. **Immutable intent.** The admitted plan seals refs/digests, coordinates, + selections, factors, profiles, apparatus intent, and admission evidence. +15. **Ordinary instantiation.** Realization calls the public SDL phase APIs and + reuses their validation and provenance; no private binder mints results. +16. **Typed late binding only.** Runtime facts fill declared sinks with source, + type, scope, freshness, sensitivity, and evidence metadata. +17. **Secrets remain references.** Secret values never enter factors, stream + addresses, identities, digests, plan summaries, diagnostics, or logs. +18. **Scheduler is a consumer.** It may place, delay, pause, retry transport, + and enforce isolation; it cannot select, instantiate, score, or resample. +19. **Adaptation is an intervention.** It never rewrites the admitted baseline + and is disclosed for validity/comparability review. +20. **Generation is candidate production.** CTI, ATT&CK layers, playbooks, + planners, and AI systems enter through normal trust, validation, and + admission gates. +21. **Compatibility is monotone.** Existing static SDL is a singleton family; + current variable-only SDL retains its meaning; existing run/study records + remain archival authority. +22. **Claims remain bounded.** A deterministic plan is not proof of backend + equivalence, artifact availability, hidden-state recreation, or exact + replay from a seed alone. + +These criteria are adopted by ADR-084 and restated as formal invariants in

All imports, namespaces, locks, trust checks, and digests are resolved +before any variation point is selected. + +### SVR-002 — Canonical symbols are selection-independent + +For every declaration or variation point `x` and valid selections `v1` and +`v2`: + +```text +canonical_id(x, v1) = canonical_id(x, v2) = canonical_id(x) +``` + +The id contains no selected value, source/cache path, run id, worker id, +backend id, or schedule position. + +### SVR-003 — One authority per plane + +SDL owns family domains and typed targets; experiment contracts own selection, +factors, allocation, and stochastic intent; the processor owns trial +compilation/admission and realization orchestration; runtime owns typed +late-bound facts; backends own realization within admitted envelopes; +schedulers own placement/isolation; experiment run/study contracts own archival +provenance. No artifact from one plane may be interpreted as authority for +another. + +### SVR-004 — Closed phase progression + +The only supported progression is: + +```text +A -> F -> E-bound design -> P -> S_q -> compiled/planned forms + -> run-local bindings/operations -> Run(P[q]) +``` + +An operational artifact cannot move backward and edit an earlier artifact. +Every exchange artifact is closed for its phase. + +## Family And Selection Invariants + +### SVR-005 — Closed, bounded variation kinds + +Every point belongs to the versioned closed set: + +```text +{parameter, governed-reference, alternative, subset, order, logical-timing} +``` + +Every point has a finite member set or explicit bounded numeric interval plus a +selection/output budget. Unknown kinds, unbounded evaluation, external queries, +callbacks, templates, and arbitrary document patches are invalid. + +### SVR-006 — Typed target ownership + +Every point target is a closed descriptor admitted by the SDL model that owns +the target slot. No generic path language may authorize mutation. Selected +content must pass the owning value/fragment validator. + +### SVR-007 — Independent branch validity + +Each declared alternative/member is well-typed and semantically valid in its +declared local context. Requires/excludes/cardinality/precedence constraints +are closed finite relations. A contradictory or empty declared domain makes +the family invalid. + +### SVR-008 — Selection membership + +For every plan entry: + +```text +q in Q(E) and P[q].selection = v => M(q, v) +``` + +The compiler cannot clamp, coerce, substitute, silently omit, or select an +undeclared value. + +### SVR-009 — Whole-scenario admission + +Local point validity is insufficient: + +```text +P[q] exists => semantic_valid(I(F, P[q])) +``` + +Every selected combination is admitted as a whole concrete scenario. One +invalid combination prevents the requested plan from being emitted. + +### SVR-010 — Experiment selection is separate from family validity + +Changing an enumeration/sampling/allocation policy without changing `F` does +not change the family identity. Reusing a family in multiple experiments does +not copy its declarations into those experiment documents. + +### SVR-011 — Scenario and backend membership are ordered + +For every entry: + +```text +P[q] exists => M(q, P[q].selection) + and R_B(F, P[q].selection) +``` + +Backend realizability is checked after family membership. Backend feasibility +cannot widen, narrow, or choose the experiment selection. + +## Random-Stream Invariants + +### SVR-012 — Complete stochastic profile + +Every stochastic selection names exact versions for generator, seed encoding, +semantic-address encoding, stream derivation, raw-bit interpretation, +distribution/sampling transformations, and failure behavior. A seed or library +default alone is not executable stochastic control. The experiment also carries +a canonical root seed and explicit randomness namespace; both are admitted +inputs rather than values inferred from the experiment document digest. + +### SVR-013 — Semantic stream address + +Every draw address is a pure canonical function of: + +```text +(randomness namespace N(E), + logical trial coordinate, + policy id, + variation-point id, + draw purpose, + stable local draw coordinate) +``` + +It contains no aggregate experiment id/digest, worker, process, thread, host, +wall-time, queue, batch, completion-order, retry, hash-order, or +backend-availability input. The exact experiment id/digest remains plan and run +provenance. Independent randomization requires an explicit namespace or seed +change. + +### SVR-014 — Schedule independence + +For any two execution schedules `s1` and `s2` over identical admitted inputs: + +```text +bytes(T_s1(F, E, B, G)) = bytes(T_s2(F, E, B, G)) +``` + +This includes serial/parallel, worker permutation, batch partition, completion +order, pre-seal retry, and supported cross-process/hash-seed variation. + +### SVR-015 — Stream non-interference + +If input `E'` retains `N(E)` and the root seed while adding or changing a draw +or unrelated metadata outside concern `c`, then every draw and selection at +addresses in unaffected concern `c` is unchanged. No mutable global stream is +shared across points, policies, or coordinates. This does not require plan +digests or run ids to survive an experiment-spec revision. + +### SVR-016 — Canonical traversal preserves semantic order + +Maps are traversed by canonical id. A semantically ordered SDL collection keeps +its declared or selected order. Serialization cannot sort away meaningful +order, and runtime scheduling cannot stand in for logical order. + +### SVR-017 — Failure does not consume or replace randomness + +Constraint exhaustion, invalid selection, apparatus rejection, worker failure, +timeout, retry, or cancellation does not advance a shared stream or trigger +resampling. The same address always denotes the same draw under the same +profile. + +## Plan And Identity Invariants + +### SVR-018 — Atomic plan admission + +`T` returns exactly one fully admitted plan or one deterministic diagnostic set: + +```text +T(F, E, B, G) = P + iff for every q in Q(E), P[q] is valid and realizable +``` + +There is no partially admitted subset formed by dropping failed coordinates. + +### SVR-019 — Unique stable logical coordinates + +`Q(E)` contains no duplicate canonical coordinate. Coordinate identity is +experiment meaning, never list position or scheduler order. + +### SVR-020 — Preallocated archival run identity + +For each `q`, `P[q].run_id` is a deterministic function of admitted execution +intent and `q`. It is unique within `P`. If execution starts: + +```text +Run(P[q]).run_id = P[q].run_id +``` + +No `experiment-trial-v1` or second archival trial identity is introduced. + +### SVR-021 — Retry and re-execution differ + +An idempotent pre-execution transport retry reuses `P[q].run_id`. A genuine +re-execution uses a new explicit replicate/execution ordinal, is admitted +again, receives a distinct run id, and may cite the source run by lineage. + +### SVR-022 — Plan identity is not run identity + +The plan is immutable grouped execution intent and has its own canonical +content identity. Scheduler jobs, operation ids, runtime snapshots, and plan +ids cannot be used as archival run ids. + +### SVR-023 — Complete plan provenance + +The plan commits to exact task/family/spec/artifact refs and digests, all +compiler/identity/RNG/canonicalization profiles, logical coordinates, +selections, factor assignments, non-secret bindings, selected apparatus +claims, and bounded admission evidence. + +## Instantiation, Fact, And Secret Invariants + +### SVR-024 — Public SDL instantiation only + +`I(F, P[q])` applies only plan-recorded selections/bindings, performs no new +draw/import/query/secret read/backend callback, uses the public SDL +instantiation and admission path, and reruns whole-scenario semantic validation. +A private binder cannot mint an admitted `S_q`. + +### SVR-025 — Selection provenance is snapshot identity + +`S_q` carries family, plan, run, point-selection, binding, and existing +composition/instantiation provenance. Canonical snapshot identity includes that +provenance; serialization cannot discard it. + +### SVR-026 — Late binding is monotone + +`L(S_q, H)` may fill only a compiled declared sink after validating source, +type, scope, freshness, sensitivity, authorization, and evidence metadata. It +does not mutate `F`, `E`, `P`, `S_q`, or their identities. + +### SVR-027 — Runtime facts are not selectors + +No fact or observation may choose an alternative/subset/order/timing point, +change a scalar factor, alter topology, change a logical coordinate/run id, +select apparatus, or advance a random stream. Missing/invalid facts cause an +explicit runtime disposition, not fallback selection. + +### SVR-028 — Secret non-disclosure and non-identity + +Raw credentials and secret values are not factors, condition assignments, +random seeds, stream-address inputs, canonical ids/digests, portable plan +bindings, diagnostics, fixtures, argv, logs, or telemetry. Secret references +are resolved only at authorized run-local sinks, and secondary provenance is +redacted. + +## Backend, Scheduler, And Archive Invariants + +### SVR-029 — Envelope-governed realization + +Every plan entry pins selected apparatus claims and passes manifest capability +and accepted ADR-070 realization-envelope membership/subsumption checks. A +backend may choose only a realized form permitted by that envelope and must +disclose the choice. + +### SVR-030 — Backend refusal is observable failure + +Availability change or refusal after admission yields failure/deviation +provenance. It cannot authorize another value, backend, omitted member, clamped +configuration, or resampled trial. + +### SVR-031 — Scheduler opacity + +Any two valid scheduler placements/orders for the same `P` observe identical +plan entries, run ids, selections, factors, snapshots, and streams. A scheduler +may control placement, isolation, bounded parallelism, timeouts, cancellation, +and cleanup only. + +### SVR-032 — Archival separation + +The admitted plan is not stored as mutable runtime state, and live operation +records are not archival runs. `ExperimentRunModel` and `ExperimentStudyModel` +remain the authorities for actual execution context, evidence, factors, +allocation, deviations, and analysis lineage. + +### SVR-033 — Adaptation is an intervention + +Adaptive difficulty cannot rewrite the admitted baseline. An intervention is a +run event with policy/observation/trigger/action provenance. A derived follow-up +trial has a new admitted coordinate and run id linked to its source. + +### SVR-034 — Generated content re-enters normal admission + +ATT&CK layers, STIX, playbooks, PDDL/planners, CTI reports, and AI generators +may produce candidates only. Candidates pass ordinary authoring, trust, +composition, semantic validation, experiment binding, and trial admission. + +## Compatibility Invariants + +### SVR-035 — Static SDL is a singleton family + +An existing SDL document with no variation points retains its identifiers and +meaning and denotes exactly one family member. + +### SVR-036 — Existing variable binding remains authoritative + +Existing `Variable` declarations and substitution semantics are reused for +scalar parameterization. Structural variation does not create a second string +template or binder. IP/address and typed path inputs use those variables under +their declared constraints. Credential-shaped inputs use governed secret +references or declared late-bound secret-reference sinks; raw credentials are +never portable selection values. + +### SVR-037 — Existing experiment and archive artifacts remain distinct + +Existing experiment authoring documents remain valid but descriptive +randomization text cannot execute without typed profiles. Existing task, run, +study, apparatus, evidence, and measure contracts retain their authority. + +### SVR-038 — Campaign composition preserves canonical roots + +An executable campaign composed from reusable SDL units is exactly one expanded +canonical `Scenario` produced by `C`; it is not a tree of independently running +scenario lifecycles. A campaign across multiple executions is represented by +an experiment design and admitted plan and is archived through the existing +run/study contracts. Neither form creates a `Campaign` runtime root or derives +meaning by concatenating mutable runtime state. + +## Deterministic Failure Properties + +For identical invalid inputs, diagnostic records are byte-equivalent after +canonical serialization. Diagnostics are ordered by stage, safe canonical +address/id, and code. They are bounded by explicit count/size budgets and never +render supplied values, complete domains, secret/fact refs, raw artifacts, +backend-private objects, environment data, or tracebacks. + +At minimum, `T` is undefined for: + +- invalid/untrusted composition or digest mismatch; +- unknown point/target/policy/profile; +- empty or contradictory domain; +- selection outside a domain or closed constraint; +- unbounded/exceeded product, trial, plan, or diagnostic budget; +- duplicate coordinate or derived run id; +- invalid selected whole scenario; +- unavailable/incompatible apparatus evidence; +- realization-envelope non-membership; and +- canonicalization or sealing failure. + +## Claim Boundary + +These invariants support claims of deterministic scenario-family selection, +schedule-independent admitted-plan construction, explicit instantiation +provenance, and bounded archival lineage. They do not establish behavioral +equivalence between backends, validity of an adaptive benchmark, continuing +artifact availability, truth of provenance claims, recreation of hidden +backend state, cryptographic unpredictability, or exact replay from a seed. + +## Assurance Fulfillment + +The invariant list is delivered by this file. Because issue #652 is design-only: + +- unit-test evidence is waived to #786, #787, #789, #790, and #791; +- typed IR/contract evidence is waived to #274, #786, #787, #788, and #791; and +- property/differential evidence is waived to #274, #789, #790, and #791. + +The dated waivers and paths are registered in +`specs/formal/assurance-fulfillment.yaml`.
