…hip (Event 81)
Group-ship of 3 v1.1 cycle CPs as doc-only first slices. Each names its
deferred follow-up components with explicit dependencies.
1. kernel/DESIGN_BEHAVIOR_INVARIANTS.md
(CP-DESIGN-BEHAVIOR-VERIFICATION-01 first slice, ~280 lines)
- Declares verifiable behavioral properties per kernel surface:
hooks (PreToolUse RS guard, PostToolUse episodic writer,
SessionStart banner suppression), blueprints (Blueprint D
blast_radius_map enum + sync_plan coverage; Blueprint B fence
synthesis emit), audit (Phase 12 retrospective-only D2,
re-elicitation-not-correction D3, drift-detection threshold),
profile derivation (axes-to-derived-knobs coverage; TTL on
stale-cache reads).
- Status taxonomy mirrors FALSIFIABILITY_CONDITIONS.md
(RUNNING/PARTIAL/SCHEDULED/ASPIRATIONAL).
- Reflexive falsifiability section applies the matrix to itself.
- Action-on-conformance-drift policy: investigate before demoting;
governance-event for invariant revisions.
- Components 1, 2, 4 (formal spec language, runtime conformance
test, continuous audit) deferred to follow-up Events.
2. kernel/MODEL_PROGRESS_RISK_MODEL.md
(CP-MODEL-PROGRESS-OBSOLESCENCE-01 first slice, ~270 lines)
- Names the substrate-progress threat explicitly (substrate
capability has been improving annually; gap may close).
- 3 response postures: workflow-discipline-not-substrate-correction
(Posture A); move up-stack as substrates strengthen (Posture B
toward CP-FEDERATED-COGNITIVE-NETWORK-01); graceful obsolescence
as acceptable end-state (Posture C).
- 4 falsifiability axes with named measurement methodology +
action-on-trigger: differential-demo gap closure;
operator-decision-quality parity; operator-cognitive-skill drift;
up-stack value confirmation.
- Graceful-obsolescence plan: final-cycle declaration,
documentary preservation, protocol-corpus export, AGPL
in-perpetuity, successor-friendly handoff.
- Component 6 (periodic relevance check cadence infrastructure)
deferred. First review at v1.1 cycle close (~Q1 2027).
3. kernel/CONTINUITY_PLAN.md
(CP-PROJECT-GOVERNANCE-CONTINUITY-01 first slice, ~290 lines)
- 3-tier decision-rights framework (Architecture/Polish/Routine)
with default actor + fallback procedure for each tier.
- Successor model: designation procedure, activation triggers
(4-week unresponsiveness for Tier I; 2 weeks for Tier II;
declared transfer; deceased-verified-attestation),
constraints on successor authority.
- What's preserved (public substrate under AGPL) vs what's lost
without mirror infrastructure (private substrate at
~/episteme-private/).
- 3-layer mirror infrastructure: encrypted local backup, trusted-
third-party escrow, selective publication on succession.
- Foundation governance evaluation criteria: 4 adoption-scale
triggers (≥100 forks, ≥1000 unique cloners over 90d, ≥3
institutional adopters, ≥1 external merge-tier contributor);
candidate orgs (Linux Foundation, Apache, OSI, standalone non-
profit); evaluation criteria (cost vs benefit, AGPL compat,
governance-anti-Doxa compat).
- Components 2 (foundation evaluation), 5 (EVOLUTION_CONTRACT.md
extension), 6 (lawyer engagement) deferred to adoption-scale
signal triggers.
All 3 docs follow the established kernel/* substrate doc structure:
operational summary (top-load), what-this-is, declared content,
threat model / limits, cross-references, maintenance. Public-tier
under AGPL-3.0-or-later. ZERO code / CLI / test / private-doc
changes. Soak-protected surfaces UNTOUCHED (kernel/* at this scope
is post-soak v1.1 work; allowed).
Per cp-v1.1-architectural.md sequencing: these 3 CPs are the
"cross-cutting strategic/governance" cluster that "can land any
time during v1.1; inform but don't block other CPs." Group-shipping
matches operator's stated pacing preference for doc-only orthogonal
CPs.
Doc structure mirrors prior substrate docs:
- kernel/CHAIN_RECOVERY_PROTOCOL.md (Event 80) — recovery contract
- kernel/FALSIFIABILITY_CONDITIONS.md (Event 73) — falsifiability matrix
- This Event extends the pattern to: design-behavior invariants,
substrate-progress threat model, governance continuity.

Summary
v1.1 cycle group-ship of 3 doc-only first slices. Per
~/episteme-private/docs/cp-v1.1-architectural.mdsequencing, these 3 CPs are the "cross-cutting strategic/governance" cluster that "can land any time during v1.1; inform but don't block other CPs" — orthogonal scope, no code dependencies, group-shippable.Each doc is a first-slice declarative framework + named-deferral discipline. Heavy implementation work (conformance test harness, periodic-review cadence infrastructure, foundation evaluation, lawyer engagement) deferred to follow-up Events with explicit dependencies.
What ships (3 NEW kernel/* docs, public-tier, ~580 lines total)
1.
kernel/DESIGN_BEHAVIOR_INVARIANTS.md(~280 lines)CP-DESIGN-BEHAVIOR-VERIFICATION-01 first slice. Closes the spec-vs-runtime gap: the kernel has 600+ unit tests verifying code correctness but no infrastructure verifying specification conformance. This doc declares the invariants per kernel surface.
Per-surface invariants declared:
blast_radius_map.statusenum closed (RUNNING);sync_plancoversneeds_updatesurfaces (RUNNING); Blueprint B fence-removal emits synthesis on clean resolution (PARTIAL).Status taxonomy mirrors
kernel/FALSIFIABILITY_CONDITIONS.md(RUNNING/PARTIAL/SCHEDULED/ASPIRATIONAL).Deferred: Components 1, 2, 4 (formal spec language, runtime conformance test against op-corpus, continuous specification-conformance audit).
2.
kernel/MODEL_PROGRESS_RISK_MODEL.md(~270 lines)CP-MODEL-PROGRESS-OBSOLESCENCE-01 first slice. Operationalizes
kernel/FALSIFIABILITY_CONDITIONS.md§ F2 (kernel value persists despite model-capability progress — currently ASPIRATIONAL).Three response postures named:
cp-v1.2-federation.md).Four falsifiability axes with measurement methodology + action-on-trigger:
demos/03_differential/on each major frontier-model release).Deferred: Component 6 (periodic relevance-check cadence infrastructure). First review at v1.1 cycle close (~Q1 2027).
3.
kernel/CONTINUITY_PLAN.md(~290 lines)CP-PROJECT-GOVERNANCE-CONTINUITY-01 first slice. AGPL-3.0-or-later § 13 protects against extraction; this doc protects against bus-factor death (orthogonal). Required for Path B (standard with reference impl) credibility.
3-tier decision-rights framework:
Successor model: designation procedure (written; in private CONTINUITY_RECORD); activation triggers (4-week / 2-week unresponsiveness; declared transfer; deceased-verified-attestation); constraints on authority (no relicense, no force-push, no AGPL § 13 disclosure removal, inherited no-AI-co-author rule).
Mirror infrastructure (3 layers):
~/episteme-private/(operator-side; tracked as follow-up).Foundation evaluation criteria: 4 adoption-scale triggers (≥100 forks, ≥1000 unique cloners over 90d, ≥3 institutional adopters, ≥1 external merge-tier contributor); candidate orgs (Linux Foundation, Apache, OSI, standalone non-profit); evaluation criteria (cost vs benefit, AGPL compatibility, governance-anti-Doxa compatibility). Currently below threshold (per Event 72 signal-check: 2 forks, 1034 unique cloners over 14 days, 0 external contributors).
Deferred: Component 2 (foundation evaluation execution), Component 5 (EVOLUTION_CONTRACT.md extension), Component 6 (lawyer engagement).

Plus deferred components from prior + this CP:
5 of 9 v1.1 main CPs have shipped first slices. The remaining 4 (TEMPORAL-INTEGRITY + Arm A; CONTEXT-AWARE-PROFILE-OVERRIDE; ACTIVE-GUIDANCE-RANKING; OPERATOR-COGNITIVE-BUDGET) are the heavier-implementation track that need their own focused Events.
