From 403327512d264a24f69137b6248d107d2a052b89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: snapsynapse <57973674+snapsynapse@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 20:37:05 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Release version-aware GuideCheck 1.0.0 without migrating legacy adopters Dispatch supported legacy guide declarations to the preserved 3ceb30a evaluator. Apply repository-anchor exclusion, explicit profile assertions, and strict manifest/report contracts only to guides opting into profile 1.0.0. Publish versioned contracts and source identity while preserving the anchored 0.7.1 self-guide and manifest. Add full legacy report replay, strict fixtures, mixed-request and UI checks, adopter evidence, and release validation. Validation: make test test-verify-ui, public contract build, installed-wheel smoke, preserved artifact digests, AIDR lint, and git diff --check passed. --- .github/workflows/release.yml | 4 +-

This is a dependent +analysis, not an independent review. This proposal is non-normative and awaits +Sam Rogers's arbitration. The existing position and Arbitration section are +preserved. + +#### Rule proposed for arbitration + +A repository hash match establishes byte agreement. It does not establish +separate credentials or a separate compromise boundary. Known shared +administration MUST NOT qualify, and unknown administration MUST NOT qualify. +Another qualifying matching channel may satisfy Level 4; it never changes the +excluded repository's own qualification. + +For the first implementation, repository-file evidence is corroboration only. +The current hosted fetch contract has no authenticated evidence of administrative +separation. Therefore even an actually separate deployment remains unestablished +to this verifier. This affects all repository-only Level 4 results, not just +GitHub Pages. Do not hide that migration cost behind a Pages-specific warning. + +A future positive exception requires a separately specified, reviewed, testable +evidence protocol. Do not introduce an operator checkbox, publisher assertion, +hostname heuristic, or test-only `independent=true` input as that protocol. +This proposal does not implement that exception or claim it already exists. + +#### Threat model and observable evidence + +The relevant attack is one authority changing both the served guide and the +candidate anchor, including changing the source that an automatic deployment +consumes. Different vendor names or runtime hosting accounts do not establish +independence if one repository write triggers both publications. Conversely, +sharing a vendor does not by itself establish shared customer credentials. +The claim is bounded resistance to joint forgery, never publisher trust or safety. + +| Evidence | What it establishes | What it does not establish | +|---|---|---| +| Fetched repository bytes and manifest hash | Agreement at the observed fetch | Separate administration | +| Repository commit identifier | Identity of that repository object | Who selected it or whether one actor can publish a new guide naming a different object | +| Different domain, vendor, owner label, or custom domain | A routing or naming distinction | Disjoint write, deployment, recovery, SSO, or automation authority | +| A repository CNAME file, workflow YAML, or server header | A publisher-controlled deployment claim or hint | Current enforced permissions or exhaustive deployment topology | +| Authenticated hosting configuration identifying the same source and publication authority | Evidence of a shared path under the stated configuration | Absence of every other shared authority | +| Independently authenticated, complete authority evidence | Potential basis for a future separation rule | A capability of the current public hosted fetcher | + +GitHub documents branch and Actions publication, including custom domains. A +custom domain cannot serve as a test for independence. Actions publication does +not require a repository CNAME file, so its absence cannot establish separation. +These are deployment facts; the conclusion about independence is this position's +threat-model inference. + +No extra authenticated-account access or topology crawling is proposed. The +first hosted implementation reports repository independence as `unestablished` +for every repository fetch, including obvious Pages cases. That is deliberately +less specific than asserting shared administration from URL shape. Known-shared +scenarios still have a deterministic outcome: no repository qualification. + +The other recognized channels retain their current rules in this bounded +proposal. DNS, registry, and log results are not newly certified as having +disjoint credentials. The existing limitations of those adapters remain; this +decision cannot justify a broader claim that all administrative separation has +been verified. Signed security.txt remains unavailable to the hosted fetcher. + +#### Actual evaluation path and required implementation boundaries + +At baseline `3ceb30a58488f925844c51c5aad0bc0f94633ff7`: + +1. `derive_repository_file_url` allows GitHub repository URLs and derives a raw + file URL. Its allowlist controls fetch support, not independence. +2. `_hosted_level4_evidence` inserts fetched repository text in `anchor_texts` + without administration evidence. `_fetch_text_evidence` returns text, so the + downstream anchor object does not retain the fetch URL and redirect details. +3. `check_anchors` produces `present-matches` from hash equality and uses that + same status to suppress `anchor.independent.missing`. +4. `evaluate_guide` separately counts any `present-matches` as enough for Level 4. + Its computed `level4_blockers` set is not itself an eligibility condition. +5. The hosted caller appends fetch findings after level calculation. Adding a + warning or even a blocking finding there cannot reliably lower the level. +6. Local mode caps otherwise consistent fetched-style evidence at Level 3. + Human reports currently derive `Hash pinned` from achieved level alone. + +The fix must preserve observed evidence while using one shared qualification +predicate in both the missing-anchor check and the final level calculation. +All Level 4 blockers must prevent Level 4; they must not reduce an otherwise +valid Level 3 result. Eligibility must be resolved before building either report. +No later reconstruction from hash status may restore an excluded anchor. + +Proposed predicate: a qualifying match is a supported, fetched, usable matching +anchor that satisfies its channel's qualification rule. Repository-file never +satisfies that rule in this first implementation. Local supplied files never +satisfy the fetched condition. The same core predicate serves both callers; +`evidence_fetched=True` alone cannot promote a repository match. + +#### Findings and human/machine contract + +Retain `status` as the hash/availability result. Add required output fields to +each emitted anchor: `qualifies_for_level4` (boolean) and `qualification_reason` +(a closed enum: `qualifying-channel`, `repository-independence-unestablished`, +`local-evidence-not-fetched`, `hash-mismatch`, `unreachable`, `absent`). Reason +precedence is availability, mismatch, local mode, then channel policy. Add +`independence: unestablished` to repository evidence, separately from the reason. +Other channels do not gain an `independence: established` assertion. + +Preserve available source URL, fetch time, and redirect evidence through the +hosted evidence adapter; never fabricate a commit SHA from a branch or tag. +Unsupported repository hosts retain their existing info finding and are not +fetched. Missing and unreachable sources must be distinguishable in evidence +or findings. Unsupported caller-supplied channel names must never qualify. + +Proposed new finding: `anchor.repository-file.independence-unestablished`, +warning, for a usable repository hash whose independence cannot qualify. +Keep its hash and observed status visible. Emit `anchor.independent.missing` +as an error for a Level 4 claim with no qualifying matching anchor, unless an +existing mismatch error already explains the failure. + +Preserve conservative conflict blocking: a found repository hash mismatch still +blocks Level 4 even though a repository match cannot supply positive provenance. +Use a new `anchor.repository-file.mismatch` error so the message does not call +excluded evidence independent. Other channel mismatches retain +`anchor.independent.mismatch`. A matching DNS anchor does not erase a conflicting +repository hash. This avoids silently weakening the existing divergence check. + +Human output must show, for example, "Repository hash: matches; independent +provenance: unestablished; counts toward Level 4: no" and a qualifying-anchor +count derived from the same booleans. A repository-only Level 4 claim reports +Level 3, `Hash pinned: no`, and `Proceed? no` due to the missing-anchor error. +Repository plus qualifying DNS reports Level 4 with the repository warning +visible. `Proceed?` remains the verifier's finding result, not human execution +approval. Local mode reports hash consistency, a Level 3 cap, and no fetched +provenance. Neither report implies safety or publisher trust. + +#### Proposed fixture outcomes + +These are acceptance criteria for arbitration, not implemented or passing tests. +Unless specified, every case has valid Level 3 content and a valid manifest and +claims Level 4. "Other qualifying channel" assumes its existing channel contract +is satisfied; merely naming a DNS or registry URL is insufficient. + +| Scenario | Repository qualification | Expected result | +|---|---|---| +| Known shared administration; only matching repository | False; unestablished to the public fetcher | Level 3; repository warning and missing-anchor error | +| Known shared administration; matching repository plus qualifying matching DNS | False | Level 4; one qualifying channel; repository warning remains | +| Genuinely separate administration, supported by external audit evidence but no supported verifier evidence protocol | False | Level 3; unestablished, not a claim that the audit is false | +| Separate domain/vendor or a different GitHub owner only | False | Level 3; naming is insufficient | +| Custom-domain Pages, with or without CNAME file | False | Same result as repository-only Pages; no hostname bypass | +| Tagged or commit-pinned matching repository only | False | Level 3; immutability does not prove independence | +| Canonical/final URL or redirect changes with identical repository bytes | False | No promotion from routing changes; retain fetch evidence | +| Repository mismatch plus qualifying matching DNS | False | Level 3; repository mismatch error, no Level 4 | +| Repository match plus mismatching recognized channel | False | Level 3; independent mismatch error | +| Unsupported repository host only | No fetched anchor | Level 3; existing unsupported-host info and missing-anchor error | +| Missing/unreachable repository only | False or no usable anchor | Level 3; missing-anchor error and available fetch diagnostics | +| Missing/unreachable repository plus qualifying matching DNS | False or no usable anchor | Level 4; availability finding does not block | +| Matching local repository and DNS files | False for all local evidence | At most Level 3; consistency visible, missing fetched qualification explicit | +| Hosted caller passes matching repository and `evidence_fetched=True` | False | Level 3; core evaluator cannot bypass channel policy | +| Unknown channel injected into shared evaluator | False | Cannot satisfy missing-anchor check or Level 4 calculation | +| Lower-level guide without a Level 4 claim and repository corroboration | False | No missing-Level-4 error solely from the repository policy | +| Human report, JSON, and hosted UI for each case | Identical qualification | Level, findings, anchor count, and limitations agree | + +A positive repository-independence fixture is intentionally unavailable in the +first slice. A genuine separate-control-plane case tests the honest unknown +outcome. Fabricating a positive fixture without an implementable evidence +protocol would not resolve the handoff's evidence requirement. + +#### Alternatives and compatibility + +| Alternative | Benefit | Consequence | +|---|---|---| +| Keep current channel recognition | No adopter migration | Matching self-publication continues to claim independent provenance | +| Exclude only obvious same-repository Pages URLs; count unknown cases | Narrow change | Custom domains and opaque deployment chains can bypass the rule; false Level 4 claims remain | +| Recommended first slice: repository corroboration only | Deterministic rule; no invented evidence; closes unknown-state bypass | Genuine independent repository-only deployments also lose Level 4 until another qualifying channel is available | +| Build an administration-evidence protocol now | Could admit genuine separation | Requires credential, delegation, freshness, revocation, and trusted-evidence design beyond the bounded slice | + +The general independence language already requires different credentials, but +the public-repository subsection explicitly grants anchor status and current +hosted tests award Level 4 for same-repository Pages. The proposed change +invalidates existing accepted results and adds required output semantics. +Under CONTRIBUTING.md and INTENT.md this is a MAJOR profile change, with 1.0.0 +the next major number from 0.7.1. Do not ship it as a 0.7.x patch or silently +change 0.7.1 conformance semantics. A legacy result must remain identified by +its old verifier/profile version; it is not upgraded by relabeling. + +Adopter impact is known qualitatively, not counted across the portfolio. Existing +repository-only hosted regression cases must change in the new-profile suite. +Before release, inventory affected first-party claims read-only and provide +migration guidance: retain repository corroboration and supply another channel +that meets its existing qualification contract. Local Level 3 remains available. +Any external anchor mutation or cross-repository remediation is separate work. + +The coherent implementation touches spec section 11 and Level 4 language, +verifier-conformance sections 6/23/25 and report rules, finding-ids, output schema, +both evidence/evaluation callers, hosted UI and examples, static fixtures, +hosted regressions, adoption/operator guidance, threat register, CHANGELOG, +and version-synchronized surfaces. No normative or verifier changes are made +by recording this proposal. After arbitration, full `make test`, new boundary +regressions, schema/report parity checks, and `git diff --check` are required. + ## Objections +### Objection: codex-gpt-6 to Position codex-gpt-5 + +The phrase "unless another distinct control-plane anchor also validates" could +be implemented by restoring qualification to the repository when DNS matches. +The other channel should satisfy the requirement on its own; repository evidence +must remain excluded. Also, "a testable basis" for genuine separation is not yet +an input contract or a supported public evidence source. Counting unknown cases +until that basis exists would retain the bypass for custom domains and opaque +deployment chains. My alternative makes the resulting broader migration cost +explicit rather than claiming a narrow Pages detector solves it. + ## Arbitration ## Evidence +- Sam Rogers approved the revised proposal on 2026-09-05 with the verbatim instruction: "Proposal approved. Please continue". This approves local implementation subject to the previously recorded compatibility condition. [Implementation validation](../docs/anchor-dispatch-validation.md) and [adopter receipts](../docs/anchor-dispatch-adopters.json) record the resulting evidence; they do not claim release or deployment. The original positions, objections, and human-owned Arbitration section remain preserved. +- [Revised version-aware dispatch proposal](../docs/anchor-policy-compatibility.md#dispatch-design), requested by Sam on 2026-09-05, specifies legacy/strict routing, caller profile assertions, manifest consistency, isolated engine identities, separate output contracts, unchanged self-guide artifacts, and paired compatibility gates. This current proposal limits strict enforcement to the new profile and replaces the original dependent position's unconditional migration consequence. Original positions and objections remain preserved. It is ready for local implementation under Sam's compatibility condition; release readiness is not yet established. +- [Compatibility contract and Sam's verbatim conditional approval](../docs/anchor-policy-compatibility.md), recorded 2026-09-05, constrain the proposal: existing Level 4 adopters must retain legacy behavior; the stricter policy requires explicit new-profile selection. A version bump alone does not satisfy that condition. The proposal's forced-migration consequence is not approved for legacy guides. No agent-authored arbitration is inserted here. +- [Shared anchor evaluation](../scripts/guidecheck_verify.py) contains `check_anchors`, `evaluate_guide`, `AnchorEvidence`, and the local report; inspected at baseline 3ceb30a. +- [Hosted evidence and report](../api/verify.py) fetches repository text and appends hosted findings after core level calculation. +- [Repository URL derivation](../scripts/guidecheck_hosted_anchors.py) is fetch support with no administration resolver; [fetch safety](../scripts/guidecheck_fetch.py) enforces transport limits, not administrative independence. +- [Hosted regression cases](../scripts/test_hosted_api.py) include `test_evaluated_level4_repository_file_github`, which expects Level 4 from same-repository Pages with no DNS record, and tag/commit URL variants. +- [Output schema](../schemas/verifier-output.schema.json) currently distinguishes anchor hash/availability status but has no qualification or independence fields. +- [Profile section 11](../spec.md#11-guide-metadata) defines different-credential independence but also explicitly recognizes public repository files. +- [Contribution versioning](../CONTRIBUTING.md#profile-versioning) and [INTENT admission criteria](../INTENT.md#admission-criteria-for-changes) require a major version for tightened constraints or invalidated conformance. +- [GitHub Pages publishing sources](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site) and [custom domains](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site), consulted 2026-09-05, support the deployment facts; they do not prove an individual publisher's administration is separate. - [Current work queue](../roadmap.md#current-work-queue-reconciled-2026-09-05) identifies same-control-plane repository anchors as the next normative independence decision. - [Verifier conformance section 23](../verifier-conformance.md#23-cross-channel-anchor-checks) defines recognized independent channels and the Level 4 anchor requirement. - [Threat register](../threat-register.md#provenance-anchor-risks) explains that Level 4 is intended to raise the cost of forging the guide and provenance evidence

I believe we handle this well enough through versioning but I want to make sure that we don't break things with this change + +This condition limits the dependent proposal in +[AIDR-0001](../decisions/AIDR-0001-same-control-plane-repository-anchors.md). +The proposed stricter policy must not be applied retrospectively to existing +guides. It does not authorize mandatory migration, retroactive loss of Level 4, +or changing existing guide bytes to meet the new policy. + +This is the approved implementation contract, revised at Sam's request to include +version-aware dispatch. It replaces the unconditional application and forced +migration described in the original dependent AIDR position; the position is +retained as recorded reasoning. Sam's approval is conditional on compatibility, +not a claim that compatibility has already been demonstrated for new code. + +Sam also reports being the only known user, while noting that external users +cannot be ruled out. Known first-party repositories form the initial adopter +test set. This is not evidence of zero external adoption and does not authorize +breaking unknown consumers. Changes to dependent repositories are not a +prerequisite for legacy compatibility and are not included in this proposal. + +## Why a version bump alone is insufficient + +The pre-dispatch baseline evaluator requires the `profile-version` metadata field but does +not dispatch anchor evaluation by its value. `GUIDECHECK_VERSION`, +`GUIDE_PROFILE_VERSION`, and `VERIFIER_PROFILE_VERSION` are coupled constants. +The hosted endpoint and local CLI call the same evaluator. Replacing its anchor +predicate globally would downgrade old guides regardless of their declared +version. Bumping the tool or specification version does not prevent that. + +The compatibility reference is the behavior of baseline 3ceb30a for previously +accepted inputs, not a claim to reproduce every historical verifier release. +Current static fixtures contain older declarations, and existing hosted tests +explicitly accept a same-repository Pages anchor. Preserve those expectations. + +## Required behavior + +1. Keep the existing anchor semantics for legacy guides. The published versions + represented by local release tags are 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0, + 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0, and 0.7.1. Future code must explicitly define supported + versions rather than using a catch-all numerical comparison. +2. Apply strict repository qualification only when the guide deliberately opts + into the supported new major profile. No default-to-latest behavior in the + existing CLI or hosted endpoint. A verifier software upgrade alone must not + switch the policy used for an unchanged legacy guide. +3. Separate verifier software version, declared guide profile, and evaluated + policy in reporting. An old-profile Level 4 result remains Level 4 under its + old policy; it is never relabeled as new-profile conformance. Additive report + metadata must not introduce new required fields into the legacy contract or + change its established fields, exit codes, severity counts, or proceed result. +4. Treat an explicit new-profile migration assessment as a separate result. It + must not replace the ordinary legacy conformance result or fail existing CI + merely because the guide would not meet the new rules. +5. A new-profile guide or request must not fall back to legacy qualification + after an unsupported version, malformed version, conflicting guide/manifest + declaration, or failed strict check. Existing malformed-input behavior must + not be incidentally rewritten as part of this change. +6. Preserve legacy local-file caps and hosted fetched-evidence requirements. + Preserve mismatch blocking. Compatibility does not mean accepting newly + invalid bytes, expired/revoked metadata, missing evidence, or network failure. +7. Keep existing guides, manifests, repository anchors, DNS TXT values, release + artifacts, and version-specific documentation available and unchanged. + Updating a self-guide during version synchronization would change its hash + and require anchor rotation, so decouple those checks before a major bump. +8. Do not introduce a legacy support sunset or compulsory migration in this + tranche. Such a policy needs a separate maintainer decision. + +This intentionally leaves the old policy's known independence limitation in +legacy results. Preserving those claims and imposing the strict rule on the +same results are incompatible objectives. Reports must state which policy was +evaluated without converting that distinction into a legacy failure. + +## Dispatch design + +### Policy selection + +Use one shared, side-effect-free selector for the CLI and hosted entry point. +Select from the guide's original metadata bytes before anchor qualification. +Keep the input bytes and guide hash unchanged. Do not rewrite metadata to run +an old guide through the new engine, and do not infer policy from the installed +package version, hostname, requested conformance level, or current date. + +The selector returns an immutable selection containing the declared version, +the selected engine, and its policy identifier, or a dispatch error. Pass that +selection through fetching, evaluation, and reporting. No downstream caller may +select a policy again from mutable defaults or from the observed hash result. + +| Guide declaration or request | Selection | Contract | +|---|---|---| +| Exact 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0, or 0.7.1 | Legacy engine, baseline 3ceb30a | Preserve existing anchor eligibility, levels, findings, reports, and CLI exit behavior | +| Exact 1.0.0, after that profile is implemented and supported | Strict engine | Repository matches remain visible but do not qualify; another qualifying channel is required for Level 4 | +| 1.0.0 before support is enabled | Unsupported | No legacy fallback and no 1.0.0 conformance result | +| Supported release plus syntactically valid SemVer build metadata | Same policy key as that release | Preserve the raw declaration; build metadata never selects stronger or weaker rules | +| Any unlisted release, range, prerelease, or malformed version token | Unsupported or invalid selector | Never silently map to the nearest version; no prerelease-to-final fallback | +| A lower-level guide with no metadata block/version declaration | Existing legacy diagnostic path | Preserve valid Level 1/2 use and existing missing-metadata diagnostics; do not invent a profile declaration | +| Duplicate, conflicting, or malformed metadata boundaries | Invalid selector or existing legacy failure | Never choose one conflicting version by first-value or last-value wins; never produce a new positive conformance result | +| Caller explicitly requires 1.0.0 but guide declares a legacy version | Requirement mismatch | Reject; a caller's required profile is an assertion, not an instruction to reinterpret old bytes | + +For malformed legacy inputs already rejected by the baseline, preserve existing +diagnostics where there is an unambiguous legacy selection. If there is no unique +selection, return a dispatch error instead of guessing. A required-profile +assertion always takes precedence over that compatibility diagnostic path. + +The supported legacy list is explicit. Do not implement `major < 1` or `version +<= current` as a shortcut. The existing verifier may accept undeclared or +unpublished versions because it does not validate them; these are an inventory +gap, not evidence of support. If a must-preserve adopter uses one, stop rollout +and resolve it explicitly before changing hosted behavior. Do not silently add +an exception or require the adopter to change bytes to make a test pass. + +Parse SemVer syntax strictly before lookup. For this proposal, the policy key is +the supported release version with valid build metadata omitted. Preserve the +raw version in the selection record. For example, `0.7.1+build.7` selects legacy +0.7.1 and `1.0.0+build.7` selects strict 1.0.0; `1.0.0-rc.1` does not select the +final release. This is an explicit GuideCheck dispatch rule informed by +[SemVer sections 9-11](https://semver.org/#spec-item-9), which distinguish +prereleases from build metadata. Test empty suffixes, illegal characters, +leading zeroes, and valid build identifiers. Audit the broader published schema +against this parser before release; previously accepted but nonconforming input +is not a reason to silently map to an unsupported policy. + +### Manifest and caller consistency + +The guide is the primary selector. A manifest never upgrades or downgrades the +selected policy. A legacy manifest may omit its currently optional profile +fields without losing eligibility. Preserve existing handling of old-only +manifest metadata within the legacy engine. + +For 1.0.0, require the manifest's profile name and version to agree with the +guide, in addition to its hash and byte-count checks. Reject missing, duplicate, +or conflicting profile selectors in new-profile manifests. A legacy guide +accompanied by an explicit 1.0.0 manifest must not be accepted as a new-profile +result. Contradictory cross-major evidence is a dispatch/evidence error, never +a reason to switch engines. + +Add an optional `required_profile_version` hosted request field and +`--require-profile-version` CLI assertion. Both require a supported version +without ranges and compare its policy key with the selected guide's policy key. +Valid build metadata is retained but ignored for that policy comparison. They do not alter +guide bytes or choose a weaker evaluator. Existing requests and commands omit +them and retain declared-version dispatch. `requested_level` and `--level` +retain their existing behavior; level and profile are different constraints. + +An unsupported selector or unsatisfied caller profile assertion returns an +explicit error with no conformance claim: the existing hosted error-envelope +shape with HTTP 400, or a CLI dispatch/usage error with exit 2. Proposed error +codes are `profile-version-unsupported`, `profile-version-ambiguous`, and +`profile-version-requirement-mismatch`. Strict manifest disagreement is instead +a blocking `manifest.profile-version.mismatch` finding under the already +selected strict engine; it prevents Level 4 without invoking legacy evaluation. + +Selecting a supported legacy profile intentionally remains possible. Otherwise +backward compatibility would be illusory. A consumer requiring the stronger +policy must pin that requirement using the new assertion. This is the explicit +defense against a publisher changing a guide's declaration back to 0.7.1; a +default legacy-compatible verifier cannot promise that defense on the caller's +behalf. No legacy Level 4 result is presented as satisfying a 1.0.0 requirement. + +### Engine and output isolation + +Preserve the baseline evaluator and its constants, anchor adapter behavior, +report builders, and schema as a versioned legacy implementation. Move or wrap +them without semantic changes and establish equivalence before introducing +strict behavior. Avoid scattering conditional version checks through the +existing evaluator. Both engines may share transport code only when fixed-input +replay proves that doing so preserves legacy fetch order, budgets, and results. +New topology lookups are not part of the strict policy or legacy request path. + +Keep the existing CLI command and `/api/verify` entry point. They dispatch to +the selected engine. Legacy results retain the existing JSON body structure, +anchor objects, finding order and severity counts, compact report, and exit +codes. Do not append migration warnings to legacy reports. Their `verifier` +object identifies the legacy engine and its 0.7.1 verification contract, not the +new dispatcher package. That identity is honest only while the preserved engine +is equivalent to baseline 3ceb30a; record the baseline commit in implementation +provenance. Do not mislabel modified strict logic as the legacy engine. + +The dispatcher/package has its own software version, reported by package/CLI +version output and hosted response metadata outside the legacy JSON body. +The legacy guide-profile version in the established report remains 0.7.1, +meaning the current legacy checking contract, even when the guide declares an +older supported version. This is not a new claim of exact historical semantics. +The new-profile report explicitly identifies declaration 1.0.0, evaluated +profile 1.0.0, strict engine version, and the qualification fields proposed in +the AIDR. New required fields belong to a separate versioned output schema; +they are not retrofitted into the legacy schema. + +The UI routes rendering by the report's evaluated profile. Its legacy rendering +path remains unchanged; the strict path shows qualifying evidence and the +profile used. Downloads and copied compact reports use the same selected +result. A migration comparison feature is deferred from this tranche; it must +never replace a normal legacy result if introduced later. + +### Version and artifact separation + +Replace the single-version synchronization assumption with explicit assertions +for dispatcher/package version, each engine's verifier contract, supported guide +profiles, latest released profile, and the repository's own published guide. +Retain checks for byte-identical root and well-known copies. Pin the existing +self-guide, manifest, and anchor hashes before editing version-bearing files. + +In particular, a package or new-profile version bump must not rewrite the +self-guide's `profile-version`, `guide-version`, `applies-to`, or +`verifier-conformance` range. The compatibility verifier can still evaluate +that guide through its legacy engine. Old verifier-conformance ranges refer +to the selected legacy engine's contract, not the dispatcher version. Do not +introduce new range-enforcement behavior into legacy evaluation in this change; +the current core does not enforce that field as a version selector. + +Preserve immutable legacy spec/schema references and published release assets. +Prepare new-profile documents and fixtures under explicit new-version identity. +Do not present 1.0.0 as released merely to satisfy the version checker. The +new profile and dispatcher release remain a major release, with release status +separate from development version. Exact package/entry-point commands used by +adopters must be exercised, including consumers that pin older tool versions. + +## Paired compatibility acceptance matrix + +Every row defines an acceptance test; implementation evidence is linked below. +Legacy/new fixture pairs differ in their intentional profile declarations and +recomputed manifest bindings only; tests must not leave stale hashes after +changing metadata. All otherwise valid content and fetch evidence are replayed +at a fixed time against both baseline and candidate. + +| Case | Legacy expected | New-profile expected | +|---|---|---| +| Matching repository only, Pages or custom domain | Level 4, unchanged report | Level 3; no qualifying anchor | +| Matching repository plus qualifying matching DNS | Level 4, unchanged report | Level 4; repository still excluded | +| Repository mismatch plus matching DNS | Existing Level 4 failure preserved | Level 4 failure with strict mismatch identity | +| Local supplied matching evidence | Existing Level 3 cap and report | Level 3 cap; no fetched provenance claim | +| Known missing/unreachable or conflicting evidence | Existing failure/availability behavior preserved | Strict matrix outcomes; no fallback | +| Guide has old verifier-conformance range | Same legacy behavior under upgraded package | New guide names a compatible strict engine; dispatcher version is not substituted | +| Caller requires 1.0.0 | Requirement mismatch, no new-profile claim | Strict result, or strict failure; never legacy fallback | +| Unsupported, ambiguous, or cross-major selectors | No guessed support; inventory exceptions block rollout | Explicit failure before qualification | +| Requests alternating legacy/new versions in one process | Stable legacy engine and response every time | Stable strict engine and response every time | +| Concurrent requests and evidence-cache reuse | No strict state leaks into legacy evaluation | Cached bytes cannot import legacy qualification | +| Version update and artifact checks | Self-guide/manifest/anchor bytes unchanged | New-version artifacts explicitly identified | +| CLI/API/compact report/UI/download | Existing result and consumer parsing preserved | One coherent profile and qualification result | + +Extend differential testing beyond the 54 initial cases: compare every existing +static fixture and hosted scenario with baseline outputs, including exact finding +sets, counts, levels, readiness, anchor evidence, and CLI exit status. Normalize +only documented volatile fields such as timestamps and absolute fixture paths. +Do not normalize away policy versions, finding order, new warnings, anchor status, +or report changes. Preserve the old expectations; add new-profile cases instead +of changing legacy expected results to fit the candidate. + +## Readiness and remaining decisions + +Implementation update: Sam approved this proposal with "Proposal approved. +Please continue" on 2026-09-05. The local dispatcher, isolated legacy engine, +strict engine, versioned schemas/specifications, and regression gates are now +implemented. See [validation evidence](anchor-dispatch-validation.md) for the +current results. The sequence below remains the acceptance and delivery checklist. + +Local implementation is complete. Legacy compatibility, caller opt-in, engine +isolation, and versioned qualification are covered by the local regression gates. +Sam's existing approval remains conditional on preserving that compatibility. + +Publication and deployment are authorized by Sam. The candidate has been compared +with freshly fetched public adopter artifacts, but exact committed CI, release +artifacts, and staged deployment checks remain. Do not make a zero-breakage +guarantee for unknown external consumers from the observed compatibility results. + +| Checkpoint | Evidence required to move on | Current state | +|---|---|---| +| Legacy isolation and dispatch | Exact baseline differential suite, selector grammar coverage, legacy output and package-entry-point compatibility | Implemented; baseline replay and installed-wheel checks pass | +| New profile implementation | Paired old/new fixtures, caller assertions, schema/report parity, mixed-request isolation, full suite | Implemented and locally validated | +| Adopter compatibility | Read-only first-party inventory; recorded versions, hashes, verifier ranges, CI commands, and baseline/candidate results | 25 local paths and 16 public fetch/replay reports match baseline | +| Release readiness | All preceding gates pass, immutable legacy references available, self-guide/anchors unchanged, release/version checks pass | Local gates pass; exact committed CI, release assets, and staged deployment verification remain | +| Deployment | Separately authorized publication/deployment, staged verification, known prior deployment and reviewed rollback steps | Authorized by Sam in the subsequent release request; verification remains required | + +No new information is required from Sam to revise this proposal or begin local +implementation. Known external consumers would be useful additions if they +surface, but their absence does not block local work. If inventory finds an +adopter that cannot be preserved by the proposed dispatcher, bring back that +specific repository, command, before/after result, and proposed resolution. +Do not reopen the whole policy decision or ask for blanket permission to migrate +everything. Sam subsequently authorized staging, commit, push, release, and deployment. +Dependent-repository and anchor changes remain outside this release. + +## Implementation sequence and release gate + +1. Establish the unchanged baseline and a permanent legacy compatibility test + covering each listed version through the actual hosted request handler and + shared evaluator, including repository-only Pages and custom-domain guides. +2. Implement explicit version selection and report identity before changing any + qualification predicate. Legacy output must still satisfy its existing schema. +3. Implement the strict predicate exclusively in the new-profile path. Extend + the AIDR fixture matrix with paired old/new cases from the same guide content, + including supported new versions, unsupported future versions, and mismatched + declarations. Old repository-only guides pass under the old policy; opted-in + new guides require another qualifying channel. +4. Preserve published profile documentation while preparing the new major + normative documents and schema. Decouple software, profile, self-guide, and + release-status checks; do not mutate published anchor bytes as a side effect. +5. Run the complete suite with old expectations intact and new expectations in + separate cases. Check JSON, compact report, CLI exit, hosted endpoint, and UI + parity. Compare representative adopter artifacts against the unchanged + baseline at a fixed evaluation time and with replayed fetch responses. +6. Before any separately authorized deployment, compare current and candidate + hosted results for known first-party Level 4 adopters without modifying their + repositories or anchors. Record which published guide bytes were evaluated. + A regression blocks release. Keep the previous deployment available for + rollback; deployment and rollback actions require their own authorization. + +Passing baseline tests alone establishes a reference. The candidate's regression +tests and adopter comparisons provide the implementation evidence; release and +deployment require their remaining gates. No universal no-regression claim is +earned by the synthetic suite or finite adopter sample. + +## Baseline capture before implementation, 2026-09-05 + +- `scripts/test_legacy_anchor_compatibility.py` is wired into `make test` and + passes 54 replayed scenarios across the nine pinned legacy declarations: + 18 hosted repository-only results, nine local consistency results, and + 27 mismatch/missing-anchor results.

    This hosted verifier evaluates guide-file conformance from Level 1 through Level 4. It reports advisory findings for missing or incompatible public-web response headers, guide bytes that vary across harmless request profiles, off-domain recommended verifiers, and package-registry assistant-guide URLs that do not match the guide's canonical URL. For Level 4, it fetches the declared sidecar manifest and currently supports package-registry metadata, transparency-log, DNS TXT, and github.com repository-file anchors. Hosted verification uses a seven-fetch per-request budget across the guide, content-variation refetch, manifest, and anchors; budget exhaustion is reported with sanitized fetch evidence such as fetch-budget-exhausted. It may report level5_ready when a Level 4 guide satisfies the guide-side runtime preparation checks. It does not yet fetch signed security.txt anchors, and it does not evaluate runtime conformance (Level 5). Every hosted response carries a hosted_limitations field that states its scope.

    Privacy
    
     
    The guide URL you submit is sent to this site's server so it can fetch the file you named. The verifier keeps product telemetry limited to the target host, whether the path was the standard well-known path or a custom path, the selected agent category, expected level, achieved level, outcome, failure category, and coarse duration. It does not store full submitted URLs, query strings, prompts, model responses, IP addresses, or stable visitor identifiers in product telemetry. The optional agent and expected-level fields are used to find compatibility gaps, such as an agent family often expecting Level 3 but receiving Level 1. The hosting platform keeps standard short-lived request logs — timestamp, client IP, and the /api/verify path — for abuse prevention; those logs do not contain the guide URL.

Purpose + +GuideCheck is the standards project for the Human-Verifiable Assistant Guide profile. This specification defines the profile for `assistant-guide.txt`, a constrained plain-text artifact for assistant-facing install, implementation, remediation, migration, and operational instructions. + +GuideCheck is the standard, verifier ecosystem, and public site. `assistant-guide.txt` is the artifact. A conforming artifact claims conformance through profile metadata and verifier evidence, not through a branded filename. + +The profile exists to reduce a specific trust gap: a human may believe they are approving visible operational guidance while an assistant ingests additional instructions hidden or transformed by a presentation layer. + +The profile does not make instructions inherently safe. It makes the instruction surface visible, bounded, and practical to review before an assistant acts on it. + +### Important: conformance is not safety + +Conformance to this profile, at any level including Level 5, does NOT mean a guide is safe to follow, that the publisher is trustworthy, or that the assistant may proceed without the security practices a competent operator would already apply. A verifier that returns Level 4 has confirmed structure, byte profile, approval-gate presence, and manifest integrity. A Level 5 deployment has added runtime enforcement. Neither has confirmed publisher intent, publisher identity, command effect, or environment fit. + +If you are tempted to skip reading the guide because it passed verification, stop. The verifier checks form. You check meaning. + +The following practices remain mandatory regardless of conformance level: + +- read the full guide yourself before authorizing the assistant +- run the assistant with least-privilege tool permissions and sandboxing +- verify publisher identity out-of-band when the action is high-consequence +- prefer signed releases and reproducible builds for the underlying software +- back up state before any destructive or persistence-changing action +- exercise the guide in a non-production environment first +- keep operating-system and network egress controls in place; do not let an assistant suppress permission prompts +- treat any "safe" or "trusted" claim inside a guide as the publisher's marketing, not as evidence + +The companion `operator-guide.md`, pointed to from section 28, expands these into a defense-in-depth checklist. Section 27 enumerates residual threats this profile does not address. Adopters are expected to read both. + +## 2. Terminology + +`assistant-guide.txt` +: The artifact name for a conforming guide. + +Human-Verifiable Assistant Guide profile +: The standard profile defined by this document. + +Guide +: A plain-text `assistant-guide.txt` file intended to be reviewed by a human and then used by an assistant for a bounded task. + +Assistant +: Any AI system, coding agent, automation agent, or tool-using model that may read the guide and propose or execute actions. + +Assistant runtime +: The execution environment that parses the guide, requests approvals, invokes tools, runs commands, applies sandboxing, and records action results. + +Verifier +: A scanner or review tool that checks whether a guide satisfies this profile and emits structured evidence. + +Publisher +: The project, repository, package, service, or organization publishing the guide. + +## 3. Problem Statement + +AI-assisted setup and operational guides reach assistants through HTML, rendered Markdown, PDFs, docs sites, copied issue comments, terminal output, and screenshots. Those surfaces can carry content a model ingests but a human never sees: hidden comments, offscreen or invisible text, control characters, terminal escape sequences, and buried instruction blocks. The human reviews the rendered output; the model ingests the raw source; nothing guarantees they are the same document. + +For high-consequence tasks, projects need a constrained instruction surface that a human can review in full before authorizing an assistant to follow it. `ADOPTION.md` and `design-rationale.md` expand on the problem and the reasoning; this profile defines the artifact that closes the gap. + +## 4. Design Goals + +A conforming guide is intended to be: + +- visible to humans +- easy for assistants to parse +- constrained enough to remove presentation-layer deception +- explicit about scope, authority, source, actions, approval gates, and stop conditions +- verifiable by scanners +- portable across assistants, repositories, package ecosystems, and hosting environments + +## 5. Non-Goals + +This profile does not: + +- replace sandboxing, least privilege, or human approval +- provide access control +- prove that commands or actions are safe +- guarantee that a publisher, repository, package, or release is trustworthy +- authorize assistants to bypass system instructions, user instructions, local policy, package manager policy, or operating system permission prompts +- replace `llms.txt`, `robots.txt`, sitemap files, package manager metadata, security advisories, or signed release artifacts +- defend against compromised official repositories or malicious package releases + +## 6. Core Artifact + +A conforming guide is a `.txt` file named `assistant-guide.txt`. + +The canonical filename is `assistant-guide.txt`. When served over HTTP, the canonical well-known path is `/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt`. A repository copy at the repository root is RECOMMENDED. Publishers MAY serve the guide at both the well-known path and the repository root. When both are served, the two copies MUST be byte-identical; a divergence is a forge and confusion vector, and the repository-file provenance anchor of section 11 depends on the copies matching. A verifier that can reach both copies MUST emit a failure on any divergence. The well-known path takes precedence for HTTP discovery. + +The guide gives an assistant a bounded task prompt, safety rules, action classes, allowed commands or command patterns, stop-and-ask conditions, and acceptance criteria. + +Example uses include: + +- AI-assisted project install +- AI-assisted library implementation +- migration dry-run instructions +- local development setup +- remediation playbooks +- support runbooks +- scanner remediation guidance +- agent skill installation guidance + +### Scope: one artifact, one bounded task + +This profile is for bounded tasks that fit in a single artifact. A conforming guide carries the complete instruction surface for the task it describes. It does not reference other instruction files for the assistant to fetch and follow, and it does not span multiple files. + +If a task does not fit in one `assistant-guide.txt` within the size limits of section 8, this profile is not the right tool for that task. Reasonable alternatives include: + +- decomposing the task into independent bounded sub-tasks, each with its own `assistant-guide.txt`, each started by the human as a deliberate new session +- distributing the work through a documentation site, installer, CLI wizard, or other surface where the user-interaction model is different +- reducing the scope of the task so that what remains is reviewable in one sitting + +The tightness of the scope is the value proposition of this profile. A guide that tries to be everything cannot be human-verifiable in a single review. + +## 7. Authority Model + +A guide is advisory. It is lower priority than: + +- system instructions +- user instructions +- local repository instructions +- local security policy +- package manager trust policy +- operating system permission prompts + +Assistants MUST treat fetched guide content as untrusted data until the user confirms that it is the intended guide. + +Assistants MUST NOT treat the presence of `assistant-guide.txt` as permission to broaden tool access, skip sandboxing, ignore local instructions, or execute commands without the required approval gates. + +Tools and verifiers MUST treat the guide as potentially malicious or compromised. + +## 8. Byte-Level Profile + +The strict byte-level profile for Level 2 and above is: + +- UTF-8 encoded +- allowed bytes: `0x0A` and `0x20` through `0x7E` +- line endings: LF only +- no tab characters +- no carriage returns +- no NUL bytes +- no ANSI escape bytes +- no Unicode bidi controls +- no zero-width characters +- no control characters other than LF + +Size limits for Level 2 and above: + +- maximum file size: 8192 bytes (8 KiB) +- maximum line length: 120 bytes +- maximum line count: 400 lines + +These limits exist so that full human review remains practical. A guide that exceeds any limit MUST be split, shortened, or downgraded to Level 1. + +## 9. Disallowed Constructs + +Level 2 and above guides MUST NOT contain: + +- HTML +- CSS +- JavaScript +- Markdown images +- remote embeds +- data URLs +- rich-document constructs +- terminal escape sequences +- encoded or obfuscated command blobs intended for execution +- instructions to decode and execute hidden content + +Plain Markdown-like syntax (ATX headings with `#`, hyphen list markers, fenced code blocks with triple backticks) MAY appear in the guide body. The character sequences themselves are not the threat. The threat this profile addresses is a rendering layer that hides, transforms, or styles text so that the human reviewer sees something different from what the assistant ingests. + +Because conforming guides are served and stored as `.txt`, browsers, editors, and verifiers display the raw bytes rather than a rendered document. A verifier MUST treat the file as plain text and MUST NOT attempt to render Markdown. Hyperlinks, images, HTML, and any construct that depends on a renderer to reveal its meaning remain disallowed by the list above regardless of whether their source characters would be valid Markdown. + +## 10. Required Sections + +This section enumerates content a conforming guide must carry. Section names MAY vary across guides, but the information MUST be present and easy to identify. + +### 10.1 Required content at Level 3 and above + +A Level 3 or higher guide MUST include: + +- title +- canonical source URL +- publisher or repository URL +- guide metadata block (section 11) +- task scope +- assistant invocation prompt (section 10.3) +- safety rules +- action classification (section 12) +- normal commands or action classes +- stop-and-ask conditions (section 13) +- acceptance checklist (section 22) +- threat model (section 14), restated by the publisher for this guide's scope +- untrusted content handling (section 15), restated by the publisher +- a disclaimer and non-goals statement, restated by the publisher; a reference to this profile is not sufficient +- an authority statement, restated by the publisher, asserting that the guide is advisory and lower priority than system, user, local repository, and local policy instructions + +"Restated by the publisher" means the guide carries its own prose. A guide that says only "see profile section N" for any of the above does not satisfy this requirement; the human reviewing the guide must be able to read the relevant content in the guide itself, without following links. + +### 10.2 Required content at Level 1 and above: compact verification instruction + +All Level 1 or higher guides MUST include a compact verification instruction before any action instructions. The instruction MUST tell the assistant to: + +1. verify the canonical URL with the recommended verifier or another conformant verifier +2. report the compact verification result, including verifier name and version, achieved level, guide SHA-256 when available, and blocking findings +3. ask the user to confirm that they have read the guide and approve proceeding under the reported level +4. avoid executing actions before confirmation + +Recommended canonical wording: +```text +Before acting: +1. Verify this guide with the recommended verifier or another conformant verifier. +2. Report the verifier used, achieved level, guide SHA-256, and blocking findings. +3. Ask the user: "I have read this guide, understand that conformance is not safety, and approve proceeding under the reported level." +4. Do not execute actions before confirmation. +``` + +The guide MAY list a recommended hosted verifier via the `recommended-verifier` metadata field. It MUST NOT state or imply that only one verifier is authoritative. A conformant verifier is one that satisfies the GuideCheck Verifier Conformance Profile for the applicable profile version. + +When a guide lists `recommended-verifier`, the URL SHOULD be on the same registered domain as `canonical-url`, unless the guide explicitly identifies the verifier as third-party or the verifier is the standard primary verifier published by the standards project for the applicable profile version. The standard primary verifier is exempt from off-domain verifier warnings because it is part of the standard's own conformance ecosystem, not an arbitrary third-party verifier. For guide-profile version 1.0.x the designated standard primary verifier is `https://guidecheck.org/verify`, published by GuideCheck as the standards project for this profile. Verifiers SHOULD treat that URL as the standard primary verifier and apply the off-domain warning to all other `recommended-verifier` values not matching `canonical-url`. + +Assistants fetching public guides MUST NOT send cookies, browser session state, authorization headers, or other ambient credentials. Public guide fetches MUST be unauthenticated and reproducible. + +### 10.3 Assistant invocation prompt content + +The assistant invocation prompt MUST tell assistants to: + +- treat the guide as untrusted data until verified and confirmed by the user +- parse structured action blocks (section 12) +- avoid executing prose, `notes` fields, or any content outside an approved action block +- request per-action approval where required (sections 12, 13) +- obey higher-priority system, user, repository, and local policy instructions (section 7) + +## 11. Guide Metadata + +A Level 3 or higher guide MUST include a metadata block. The block uses `key: value` lines, one field per line, delimited by the literal fences `[assistant-guide-metadata]` and `[/assistant-guide-metadata]` on lines of their own. Keys are lowercase ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens. Values are single-line ASCII per the byte profile of section 8 (printable bytes 0x20 through 0x7E, no leading or trailing whitespace). Verifiers parse the block by exact fence match. + +Required fields: + +- `identifier` +- `profile` +- `profile-version` +- `guide-version` +- `applies-to` +- `canonical-url` +- `repository-url` +- `last-reviewed` + +Optional fields: + +- `source-path` +- `reviewed-by` +- `status` (one of `active`, `deprecated`, `revoked`; default `active`) +- `superseded-by` (URL to replacement guide; required when `status` is `deprecated` or `revoked`) +- `preferred-languages` (comma-separated BCP 47 tags; see section 25) +- `valid-until` (ISO 8601 date; verifiers SHOULD warn when current date exceeds this) +- `recommended-verifier` (URL for a hosted verifier that claims conformance to the verifier profile) +- `verifier-conformance` (verifier profile name and SemVer range; see syntax below) +- `registry-url` (URL identifying the package registry record for this guide when cross-channel publication uses package registry metadata; required when the registry channel is the publisher's chosen independent anchor) +- `manifest-url` (Level 4; see below) + +### Version-range syntax + +The `verifier-conformance` field uses a SemVer range expressed in npm-compatible operator form: ` [, ]`. Allowed operators are `=`, `>=`, `>`, `<=`, `<`, `~`, and `^`. Multiple constraints are comma-separated and combined with logical AND. Example: `human-verifiable-assistant-guide-verifier >=0.6.0, <0.7.0`. Whitespace between operator and version is optional. Verifiers that do not implement the full operator set MUST report unsupported operators as warnings and fall back to exact-version matching. + +Example: +```text +[assistant-guide-metadata] +identifier: assistant-guide +profile: human-verifiable-assistant-guide +profile-version: 1.0.0 +guide-version: 1.0.0 +applies-to: example-project >=2.3.0, <3.0.0 +canonical-url: https://example.com/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt +repository-url: https://example.com/org/example-project +source-path: /.well-known/assistant-guide.txt +last-reviewed: 2026-05-22 +reviewed-by: security@example.com +status: active +recommended-verifier: https://example.com/check +verifier-conformance: human-verifiable-assistant-guide-verifier >=0.6.0 +[/assistant-guide-metadata] +``` + +All URL values MUST resolve to ASCII hostnames. Internationalized domain names MUST be expressed in punycode (A-label) form. Verifiers MUST reject metadata containing non-ASCII bytes in URL fields; this is already implied by the byte profile but is restated here because URL fields are operationally load-bearing. + +URL paths are case-sensitive and SHOULD use the canonical lowercase form. + +`canonical-url` is the URL at which the guide itself is served. `repository-url` is the root of the publisher's source repository, where the guide's source and revision history live (for example `https://github.com/example/example-project`). It is a single field; it is not a project landing page, a documentation site, or a marketing page. The repository-file provenance anchor in the cross-channel section below resolves `source-path` against `repository-url`; a `repository-url` that does not point at a source repository disables that anchor. + +### Profile and guide versioning + +Both `profile-version` and `guide-version` are semantic versions. Profile-version MAJOR is incremented when a change removes a field, tightens a constraint, or invalidates previously conforming guides. MINOR is incremented for additive optional fields or relaxed constraints. PATCH is for editorial fixes. Guide-version is owned by the publisher and follows their release semantics. + +### Provenance (Level 4) + +The guide file itself does not contain its own hash. Provenance for Level 4 follows a sidecar manifest model analogous to skill-provenance: integrity metadata lives outside the file so the file's bytes can be hashed without an in-file chicken-and-egg field. + +A Level 4 guide MUST publish a manifest at a stable URL referenced by `manifest-url`. The manifest is a plain-text or YAML document containing at minimum: + +```text +guide-path: /.well-known/assistant-guide.txt +guide-version: 1.0.0 +guide-sha256: +guide-bytes: +immutable-release-url: https://example.com/org/example-project/releases/v2.3.1 +signature: optional-reference-to-signed-artifact +transparency-log-url: optional-url-to-a-public-append-only-log-entry +``` + +The hash identifies which version of the file a verifier has examined. The hash does not assert that the file is safe. A verifier that fetches both `assistant-guide.txt` and its manifest MUST recompute the SHA-256 over the fetched bytes and report any mismatch as a Level 4 conformance failure while still permitting Level 3 evaluation of the file contents on their own merits. + +The `immutable-release-url` MAY name the release that will contain this guide version before the tag or release URL exists during authoring. The publisher MUST make that URL reachable when the release is published. Verifiers check reachability at verification time; they do not infer conformance from commit ancestry or authoring order. + +A future version of this specification may define a more structured manifest schema. The minimum fields above are stable. + +When the publisher has any code-signing infrastructure available (release signing, container signing, package registry signing, PGP, Sigstore, or equivalent), the manifest SHOULD include a `signature` reference. A Level 4 manifest with a signature is a stronger provenance posture than one without; verifiers SHOULD report which form was found. A future revision of this specification may define a higher provenance tier that requires signature and transparency-log evidence; the current spec keeps both as RECOMMENDED so that Level 4 remains achievable for publishers who have not yet adopted code signing. + +### Cross-channel publication of the hash + +A manifest served from the same origin as the guide is forge-equivalent to the guide itself: an attacker who controls the web host controls both. To raise the forge cost, publishers SHOULD publish the same `guide-sha256` on at least one independent control plane. "Independent" means controlled by different credentials, typically a different vendor, from the web host. + +Required posture: + +- Level 3: at least one independent channel SHOULD carry the hash +- Level 4: at least one independent channel MUST carry the hash + +The channel rules below distinguish qualifying independent provenance from corroboration. A publisher MAY use more than one channel. The verifier MUST cross-check every channel it can find and MUST emit a failure when channels disagree on the hash. + +#### DNS TXT record + +Location: `_assistant-guide.` + +Value format, single line: + +```text +v=1; sha256=<64-hex>; url= +``` + +When a publisher serves more than one guide from the same domain, the TXT value MAY name a manifest instead, and the manifest carries the per-guide hashes: + +```text +v=1; manifest= +``` + +Publishers SHOULD set TTL no greater than 3600 seconds so that hash rotations propagate within an hour. DNSSEC is RECOMMENDED. + +#### Package registry metadata + +When the project ships as a package, the registry record SHOULD carry the hash. Ecosystem conventions: + +- npm `package.json`: + ```text + "assistantGuide": { + "url": "https://example.com/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt", + "sha256": "<64-hex>" + } + ``` +- PyPI `pyproject.toml`: + ```text + [project.urls] + Assistant-Guide = "https://example.com/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt" + ``` + with `sha256` carried in a sidecar `assistant-guide-manifest.txt` referenced by that URL or by `manifest-url` in the guide metadata +- Cargo `Cargo.toml`: + ```text + [package.metadata.assistant-guide] + url = "https://example.com/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt" + sha256 = "<64-hex>" + ``` +- Other registries: use any project-URLs or arbitrary-metadata facility the registry exposes; the field name SHOULD be recognizably `assistant-guide` or `assistantGuide`. + +Package registries are an independent control plane because publish credentials are typically distinct from web-host credentials and from DNS credentials. + +Verifiers discover the registry record through the metadata field `registry-url`. The value MUST be a URL to a specific registry record (for example `https://registry.npmjs.org/example-pkg/2.3.1` or `https://pypi.org/pypi/example-pkg/2.3.1/json`), not a registry homepage or search result. When `registry-url` is absent and the publisher relies on the package-registry channel for cross-channel hash publication, the verifier cannot find the anchor and the channel does not count toward the Level 4 cross-channel requirement. +When registry metadata is JSON, verifiers MUST bind the hash to assistant-guide-specific metadata, such as an `assistantGuide` or `assistant-guide` object with a `sha256` field. A generic `sha256` field elsewhere in the registry record is not a GuideCheck anchor. + +#### Public repository file + +A public repository file at `source-path` provides corroborating hash evidence, not a qualifying independent anchor in profile 1.0.0. The verifier MUST compare the served bytes with the repository file and MUST retain the observed match or mismatch. Administrative separation is unestablished by the supported repository fetch evidence, including when the guide has a custom domain, a different hosting vendor, or a commit-pinned source URL. Repository-file evidence MUST NOT satisfy the Level 4 independent-anchor requirement, even when another channel qualifies. A repository hash mismatch MUST block Level 4. A future positive independence exception requires a separately specified evidence protocol; publisher assertions and URL shape are insufficient. + +#### Signed security.txt + +A publisher who maintains a PGP-signed `security.txt` per RFC 9116 MAY add the following extension fields: + +```text +Assistant-Guide: https://example.com/.well-known/assistant-guide.txt +Assistant-Guide-SHA256: <64-hex> +``` + +An unsigned security.txt does NOT count as an independent channel because it lives on the same origin as the guide. A signed security.txt counts because the trust anchor is the signing key, not the file. + +#### Public append-only transparency log + +A publisher MAY anchor `guide-sha256` in a public append-only transparency log, for example a Sigstore Rekor entry, a certificate-transparency-style log, or a git-backed append-only log hosted under independent credentials. The log entry MUST record `guide-sha256` and `canonical-url`, and MUST be retrievable from a stable, publicly readable URL. Verifiers discover the entry through the optional manifest field `transparency-log-url`. + +A transparency log counts as an independent control plane when it is operated under credentials distinct from the web host and its entries cannot be silently rewritten or deleted. Append-only semantics raise the forge cost beyond a plain mirror: an attacker cannot retroactively replace the anchored hash without leaving the original entry visible. A verifier that retrieves a log entry MUST compare its hash against the manifest hash and MUST emit a failure on divergence, the same as for any other independent channel. + +#### Discovery aids that are NOT evidence + +The following surfaces are permitted for human and tool discovery but MUST NOT be treated by verifiers as forge-resistant evidence of the hash, because they share the same origin as the guide: + +- HTML head: `` +- HTTP response header on the guide itself +- unsigned security.txt with the extension fields above + +Verifiers MAY surface these for UX but MUST NOT count them when checking the "at least one independent channel" requirement. +## 12. Action Classification + +A Level 3 or higher guide MUST classify actions into these categories at minimum: + +- normal: non-privileged and non-destructive local actions +- networked: actions that make external network calls +- destructive: actions that delete, overwrite, reset, revoke, rotate, or irreversibly mutate state +- privileged: actions requiring elevated permissions such as root, admin, production, cloud, or cluster access +- persistence-changing: installs, service changes, startup changes, system path writes, configuration changes, or scheduled tasks +- data-accessing: reads from databases, logs, secrets managers, private repositories, customer data, or other sensitive stores +- code-executing: actions that execute project code, dependency code, package scripts, build hooks, generated code, test suites, or local scripts + +The `normal` class is mutually exclusive with the other classes. Any action that is networked, destructive, privileged, persistence-changing, data-accessing, or code-executing is not normal. + +Privileged, destructive, persistence-changing, data-accessing, and code-executing actions MUST require explicit human approval before execution at Level 3 and above. Running project, dependency, or build code executes arbitrary logic under the operator's authority, so it is gated at the same level as the other high-consequence classes. + +Networked actions SHOULD require approval unless the user has already approved the source and purpose. + +### Action block shape + +So that verifiers can mechanically detect missing approval gates, a Level 3 or higher guide MUST express each substantive action using the following block shape: + +```text +[action] +id: install-deps +class: persistence-changing, networked, code-executing +approval: required +command: npm ci +runner: argv +[/action] +``` + +Fields: + +- `id`: short ASCII identifier unique within the guide +- `class`: one or more of the categories enumerated above, comma-separated +- `approval`: `required` or `not-required` +- `command`: the literal command, or a narrow command pattern +- `runner` (optional): `argv` or `shell` +- `notes` (optional): single-line rationale +- `exec-sha256` (optional): 64 lowercase hex characters pinning the bytes of the bound in-repo artifact this action invokes (see "Code-executing actions and the review boundary") +- `exec-opaque` (optional): the value `acknowledged`, permitted only on an action that invokes an exempt external-dependency command, and requiring a `notes` rationale + +Actions whose class list includes `privileged`, `destructive`, `persistence-changing`, `data-accessing`, or `code-executing` MUST set `approval: required`. A verifier MUST emit a failure when this constraint is violated. Prose discussion around action blocks remains permitted. + +### Command field restrictions + +The `command` field is parsed and displayed as a literal. To keep what the human approves identical to what the assistant runs: + +- one command per action block; no chaining via `&&`, `||`, `;`, or newline +- no shell substitution: the characters `$(`, backticks, and `${` MUST NOT appear in the command +- no redirection (`>`, `<`, `>>`, `<<`) and no pipes (`|`) unless the action is only classed as `normal` and the redirection target is a path inside the declared `cwd` +- no glob expansion in `destructive` or `privileged` commands +- environment-variable references via `$NAME` are permitted only when the variable is listed in an `env:` field on the same action + +For any action that reads or writes the filesystem, the block MUST include: + +```text +cwd: +``` + +Verifiers MUST flag command fields that violate these restrictions. + +Level 4 guides SHOULD include `runner: argv` or `runner: shell` on every action. Level 5 runtime enforcement defines the execution semantics of this field. + +`runner: argv` means the command is executed by directly invoking the named program with its arguments, without spawning a shell interpreter. The runtime tokenizes the `command` field by whitespace into program and argument vector; no shell metacharacters are interpreted. + +`runner: shell` means a POSIX-compatible shell (`/bin/sh` semantics) interprets the command. On non-POSIX hosts the runtime SHOULD declare the resolved shell in its compact report. A future revision of this profile may add explicit `runner: powershell` and `runner: cmd` values for Windows-native execution; v0.2 leaves Windows shell semantics out of scope, and publishers targeting Windows SHOULD prefer `runner: argv` until those values are defined. + +Any command that relies on shell behavior, including pipes or redirection, SHOULD declare `runner: shell`, include a narrow rationale in `notes`, and require approval. Level 5 runtimes MUST enforce those requirements before invoking a shell. + +### Code-executing actions and the review boundary + +A `code-executing` action that invokes a publisher-controlled artifact shipped +with the guide's project, rather than running commands written in the guide +itself, executes instructions that are not present in the reviewed guide. The +reviewed instruction surface and the executed instruction surface then diverge +even though no text is hidden: the human approves an invocation whose effect is +defined elsewhere. + +The profile distinguishes two shapes by the form of the invocation, not by the +program name: + +- Bound: an invocation that names or dispatches into a publisher-controlled + artifact whose bytes live in this repository. Examples: `bash scripts/setup.sh`, + a `./`-prefixed or absolute-path script, `make `, `npm run
