chore: bump version to 1.6.9

- The guard snapshotted live threads by `Thread.ident`, but idents are
  recycled after a thread exits — a new leaked thread reusing an exited
  thread's ident would be mistaken for pre-existing and missed (false
  negative). Snapshot the Thread OBJECTS and compare by identity instead.
- Fix the `serve` fixture docstring: the factory returns the ephemeral
  port, not the server.

-# What is a harness?
-
-*A hypothesis — not a theorem. The honest answer is a claim about **shape**: an object you can write down that says what a harness is and, just as precisely, the guarantee it cannot carry for free.*
-
-Most descriptions of an agent framework are a feature list. This is an attempt at a definition.
-
----
-
-## The claim
-
-*Informal.* A harness is a **stopped, deterministically-controlled Markov process on task-state, closed around a stopped autoregressive process on context-space, driven by a learned model kernel** — a deterministic controller in closed loop with a stochastic learned plant.
-
-*In plain terms.* The **harness** is the whole governed loop: a deterministic **shell** you write — build the prompt, authorize an action, fold the response back into state — wrapped around a black-box stochastic model kernel (the **plant**, $M_W$) and the environment its actions touch, looped until it halts in $H$. The shell is deterministic, $M_W$ is not, and everything below makes that split precise.
-
-*Formal — the objects.* A harness is a tuple $\mathcal{H} = (\mathcal{S}, \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{Y}, \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{E}, \pi, M_W, \gamma, Q_E, \rho, H, H_{\mathrm{ok}}, B)$ over **standard Borel** spaces (concretely: the *controlled* state is standard Borel by construction — token sequences, finite config maps, bounded counters and ledgers, finite tuples of real vectors — and the model/environment coordinates are inherited as such whenever they serialize to a Polish space; the assumption is roomier than it looks — even a belief-state coordinate valued in $\mathcal{P}(X)$ survives, since $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is Polish for Polish $X$ — and fails only for a genuinely non-separable coordinate, an uncountable product $\sigma$-algebra being the canonical hazard, which this construction avoids): a deterministic lowering $\pi:\mathcal{S}\to\mathcal{C}$; a stochastic model-run kernel $M_W(c, dy)$ into a readout space $\mathcal{Y}$ (which includes the parse-failure $\bot$, so $M_W$ and $\gamma$ are total over it); a deterministic **authorization gate** $\gamma:\mathcal{S}\times\mathcal{Y}\to\mathcal{A}_{\bot}$ that validates the model's parsed readout into an authorized action in $\mathcal{A}$ or rejects it as $\bot$ (parsing itself lives inside $M_W$ — realized as the readout $R$ of the specialization below); a stochastic environment/tool kernel $Q_E:\mathcal{S}\times\mathcal{A}_{\bot}\rightsquigarrow\mathcal{E}$ on the authorized action (rejection included, with $Q_E(s,\bot,\cdot)=\delta_{e_0}$ for a distinguished no-op response $e_0\in\mathcal{E}$); and a deterministic verify-and-fold-back map $\rho:\mathcal{S}\times\mathcal{Y}\times\mathcal{A}_{\bot}\times\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{S}$.
-
-*Terminal structure.* The terminal set is an absorbing halt set $H\subseteq\mathcal{S}$ (the daemon "ready-state" recurrence of the note below is a separate, non-absorbing object) with accepting subset $H_{\mathrm{ok}}\subseteq H$; separately, a bad set $B\subseteq\mathcal{S}$ ($B\cap H_{\mathrm{ok}}=\varnothing$) marks the unsafe states for reach-avoid, possibly entered before any halt; hitting times are $\tau_A=\inf\{n\ge 0:s_n\in A\}$, and $\tau_H$ is a stopping time for the natural filtration.
-
-*The outer kernel.* The induced outer transition kernel, for $s\notin H$, is
-
-$$T(s, A) = \int_{\mathcal{Y}}\!\int_{\mathcal{E}} \mathbf{1}_A\!\big(\rho(s, y, \gamma(s,y), e)\big)\; Q_E\big(s, \gamma(s,y), de\big)\; M_W(\pi(s), dy), \qquad T(s,A)=\mathbf{1}_A(s)\ \text{ for } s\in H,$$
-
-and the harness runs $s_{n+1} \sim T(s_n)$ from an initial $s_0 \sim \mu_0$ until $\tau_H = \inf\{n : s_n \in H\}$. Because $\pi, \gamma, \rho, H$ are deterministic they contribute no integration variable of their own — they appear as measurable transformations inside the integrand (the pushforward), not literally outside it — so the controller injects no randomness, and every coin is inherited from $M_W$ and $Q_E$. (The earlier shorthand $T = \rho \circ (M_W \circ \pi, E)$ is suggestive but ill-typed — $M_W$ returns a *law*, while $\rho$ consumes a *sample* together with the prior state $s$; the integral is what the shorthand meant.)
-
-*Fail-closed.* The gate $\gamma$ is what makes **fail-closed** a property, not just a name: model output is an *untrusted proposal*, and $\gamma(s,y)=\bot$ forces a no-op environment response ($Q_E(s,\bot,\cdot)=\delta_{e_0}$) — so a malformed or unauthorized tool call is rejected *before* it can act, not validated after its side effects have landed. Fail-closed is then the property that a rejected proposal causes *no unauthorized side effect* and lands in a **safe, non-bad** set ($\rho(s,y,\bot,e_0)\notin B$): a non-accepting terminal $H\setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ in the strict case, or a safe non-terminal state when the spec retries. And $\rho$ must validate the tool *response* $e$, not only the proposal that $\gamma$ already gated: a malformed or adversarial response $e$ is caught at fold-back, not just at the gate. But response-validation has a hard limit: $\rho$ can reject a bad tool *response*, yet it cannot undo side effects an *authorized* action already caused — so $\gamma$, not $\rho$, is the last line before irreversible effects, and anything irreversible must be gated at authorization. The boundary is also only real if raw model output reaches *no* sink — tool, logger, browser, or remote call — before $\gamma$; any pre-authorization escape bypasses the gate. The user-visible final response and any logging are themselves effects, and the rule binds *model-authored* bytes: they reach a sink either as an authorized action through $\gamma$, or only after an accepted halt in $H_{\mathrm{ok}}$. Shell-*templated* text — a refusal notice, a cancellation report reading the ledger — is controller output, outside $\gamma$'s jurisdiction, and may accompany any halt (a template that *interpolates* model-authored fragments inherits the model's label — the appendix's meet rule — and those bytes are gated like any others); the invariant is that raw model text never reaches a sink ungated, not that failed runs die silent.
-
-*The harness invariants.* These are the invariants that make $\mathcal{H}$ a *harness* and not merely a controlled Markov process with a learned kernel inside: the model sees only $\mathcal{C}$, never full $\mathcal{S}$; its outputs are proposals, not actions; a deterministic capability boundary $\gamma$ gates every side effect; and the *terminal* set $H$ splits into accepting ($H_{\mathrm{ok}}$) and non-accepting ($H\setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ — safe refusals outside $B$, and wrong or bad halts possibly in $B$), while the bad set $B$ is a *separate* unsafe set — possibly absorbing, possibly entered mid-run before any halt — against which $\tau_B$ is measured for reach-avoid. Two notes keep the invariants honest. They are *signature*, not strength: a $\gamma$ that authorizes everything still satisfies the tuple, as a trivial group satisfies the group axioms — the definition admits degenerate harnesses, and fail-closed, provenance isolation, and the certificates below are properties a particular harness *earns*, not gifts of the signature. And the first invariant has a sharper, two-sided form: $\pi$ is the *only* channel from state to model — the confidentiality floor lives at what $\pi$ must never lower (credentials, other principals' data) — exactly as $\gamma$ is the only channel from model output to effect, where the injection bounds live; exfiltration is therefore cut at either chokepoint, never lowered or never emitted (the gate refusing the read whose URL is the payload is the emission-side cut). One chokepoint out of the state, one into the world; a bypass of either is the same bug with the sign flipped.
-
-*Beyond the stationary kernel.* This displayed $T$ is the time-homogeneous, fixed-kernel case; for nonstationary or adversarial environments, replace $Q_E$ with a time-indexed kernel $Q_{E,n}$ — or an admissible family of kernels, or an adversary's policy — over which the robust certificate (the minimax form under *The limit*) quantifies. If that adversary conditions on history rather than only the current $(s, y)$, the history must itself live in $s$ — otherwise the object is a Markov *game* requiring further augmentation, not a Markov chain. And nonstationarity is not the environment's monopoly: a provider retraining or re-serving under a fixed endpoint name is a nonstationary $M_{W,n}$ — the table places model version *in* $s$ precisely so a version bump is a visible state change — and any measured surrogate (the $\delta$ of *The limit*) is calibrated against one kernel and dies with the bump; the dashboard must be keyed to the kernel it measured.
-
-*The inner kernel.* $M_W$ is itself a stopped process, and for a decoder-only transformer it is implemented as
-
-$$M_W(c, \cdot) = \mathrm{Law}\big(R(z_{\tau})\big), \quad z_t = (c_t, b_t, m_t), \quad v \sim K_W(c_t, \cdot), \quad K_W(c, v) = (U \circ \Phi_W \circ \mathrm{Emb})(c)[v], \quad c_{t+1} = \mathrm{suffix}_{\le L}(c_t\!\cdot\! v),\ \ b_{t+1} = b_t\!\cdot\! v,\ \ m_{t+1} = \mathsf{step}(m_t, v),\ \ \tau=\inf\{t:m_t\in\mathrm{Stop}\}.$$
-
-with the layer stack $\Phi_W$ on the residual stream as the (loosely) "manifold" core — formally just the learned high-dimensional residual-stream transformation, with manifold-proper reserved for the frontier. The inner state $z_t=(c_t,b_t,m_t)$ separates the model-visible window $c_t$ (the $\le L$ slice that slides) from the untruncated output buffer $b_t$ (the transcript the readout actually consumes, so truncation never loses it) and the parser/stop state $m_t$ (parser state, a token counter, and a clock, so the cap and timeout are functions of it), updated $m_{t+1}=\mathsf{step}(m_t,v)$, whose stop set $\mathrm{Stop}$ — EOS emitted, max-token cap, timeout, or parse-failure $\bot$ — forces $\tau=\inf\{t:m_t\in\mathrm{Stop}\}$ finite, making $M_W$ a genuine *probability* kernel rather than a sub-probability one completed by a cemetery output. (One honesty note on the clock: a token-count cap is a deterministic function of the run, but a *wall-clock* timeout imports infrastructure noise — server load, batching, congestion — into the kernel's coin; legitimate, a kernel may carry any randomness, but it makes the displayed $M_W$ the model *plus its serving substrate*, and the determinism audit under *How this could be wrong* must hold the clock fixed along with the samples.) The readout is total, $R : \mathcal{Z} \to \mathcal{Y}$ — a parsed tool-call, answer, or transcript, returning the parse-failure $\bot\in\mathcal{Y}$ when parsing fails; crucially $R$ is a *syntactic, verified* readout (parsing and extraction), not a semantic solver, or the $L$-wall below is void — arbitrary computation could hide in $R$ off the $\le L$ window — so $M_W(c, \cdot) = R_{\sharp}\,\mathrm{Law}(z_{\tau})$, the pushforward of the stopped-state law along $R$ (equivalently $M_W(c, A_Y) = \Pr[R(z_{\tau}) \in A_Y \mid z_0 = (c,\varnothing,m_0)]$ for a measurable $A_Y\subseteq\mathcal{Y}$); the no-truncation special case takes $\mathcal{Y}=\mathcal{C}$ with $R(c,b,m)=c$ (the window is the whole transcript), reading $c_{\tau}$ directly. The $\bot$ branch is exactly what $\gamma$ rejects fail-closed. This is a **specialization, not part of the definition**: a harness wrapped around a black-box API is still a harness, and $M_W$ may be any learned kernel. Where the weights are open, the geometry of $\Phi_W$ is where the substrate's continuity lives, and several downstream claims lean on it — but the definition does not.
-
-Two stopped processes, nested: **deterministic control over stochastic dynamics over a learned kernel.** Both loops are hitting-time processes; *some* harnesses additionally read the halt set as a fixpoint or acceptance condition — iterative refinement to self-consistency is the genuine fixpoint case, while EOS, length, and tool-call syntax are not convergence. Neither loop settles because you asked it to. (The clean inner-then-outer nesting assumes tool calls fall *between* model runs; streaming or mid-generation tool calls interleave the two loops and need a finer state machine — the nesting is then an idealization.)

-| $\mathcal{C},\ \mathcal{Y},\ \mathcal{A},\ \mathcal{E}$ | the **context / readout / action / effect spaces** — model-visible context $\mathcal{C}$, model readout $\mathcal{Y}$ (incl. the parse-failure $\bot$), authorized actions $\mathcal{A}$ (with $\mathcal{A}_\bot = \mathcal{A}\cup\{\bot\}$), and tool/environment effects $\mathcal{E}$ |
-| $\pi : \mathcal{S} \to \mathcal{C}$ | **lowering** — prompt construction, dialect lowering, effective-program selection (deterministic) |
-| $M_W(c, dy)$ | the **model-run kernel** (inner solver) — a stopped autoregressive process; $\Phi_W$ is the residual-stream ("manifold") core in the transformer case |
-| $Q_E(s, a, de)$ | the **environment/tool kernel** on the authorized action $a\in\mathcal{A}_{\bot}$ (with $Q_E(s,\bot,\cdot)=\delta_{e_0}$, the no-op $e_0$) — tool effects, API responses, the world (possibly adversarial) |
-| $\gamma,\ \rho$ | the deterministic **authorization gate** $\gamma:\mathcal{S}\times\mathcal{Y}\to\mathcal{A}_{\bot}$ (untrusted proposal → authorized action or $\bot$) and the **fail-closed verify-and-fold-back** $\rho:\mathcal{S}\times\mathcal{Y}\times\mathcal{A}_{\bot}\times\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{S}$ |
-| $H,\ \tau_H$ | the **halt set** (absorbing) and the outer **halting time** — a hitting-time process, not a single pass |
-| $H_{\mathrm{ok}},\ B$ | the **accepting halts** $H_{\mathrm{ok}}\subseteq H$ (correct, successful terminals) and the **bad set** $B$ — unsafe states for reach-avoid ($B\cap H_{\mathrm{ok}}=\varnothing$), *separate* from $H$ and possibly entered mid-run before any halt |
-
-The structural fact that earns the word *controller*: $\pi$, $\gamma$, $\rho$, and the halt test are **deterministic** (and the readout $R$ too, where the transformer specialization is in play), so $\mathcal{H}$ injects no randomness of its own. Every coin is inherited from $M_W$ and $Q_E$. This split — deterministic code around a stochastic oracle — wears two names. In control-theory terms it is **controller vs. plant**: the controller is those deterministic maps; the **plant** is the learned kernel $M_W$, *plant* in its exact sense — the element with its own dynamics you steer but do not author. In engineering terms it is **shell vs. plant**: the **shell** is the entire deterministic outer harness — the control logic *plus* the external memory and tools it administers (the files, databases, vector stores below) — of which the controller is just the control-logic slice. So *shell : plant :: the part you write : the part you don't*; $M_W$ is the only thing on the right, while the environment $Q_E$ is the world the actions meet — a disturbance into the loop, not the plant. (A reader from reinforcement learning or classical control will make the opposite assignment — environment as plant, policy as controller; the inversion is deliberate: in harness engineering the element you are trying to make behave is the model, and the world is what pushes back on the attempt.) This determinism is *conditional* — on versioned code, configuration, model endpoint, and tool interfaces, and on *single-run sequencing*: concurrent runs sharing authorization state re-open a gap the per-run object cannot see (taken up under *Gate placement* in the appendix); any retry, timeout, race, or randomized routing that escapes that conditioning must be modeled explicitly as part of $Q_E$ or the controller, not waved away. The displayed $M_W(c)$ likewise freezes endpoint, version, and sampler; a routing or config change is a state-indexed kernel $M_{\kappa(s)}$ or folds into $K_C$ — the kernel must not silently depend on config the table places in $s$. More generally, control may itself be stochastic — a controller kernel $K_C(s, dc)$ over routing, sampled retries, ensemble votes, learned routers — of which the deterministic $\pi, \gamma, \rho, H$ are the Dirac special case. That case is the one worth wanting: it localizes every coin to $M_W$ and $Q_E$ and keeps the controller/plant split clean. Where control is genuinely stochastic the split does not break, it widens — fold $K_C$ into the kernel and the certificate quantifies over its randomness too. But the guarantees do not soften uniformly, and the component-to-guarantee map is worth stating because it says exactly what may be learned without loss. A learned $\pi$ — retrieval, reranking, summarization inside the lowering — costs only *semantic adequacy*, under one factorization: $\pi$ splits into a deterministic **never-lower filter** — the redaction that keeps credentials and other principals' data out of $\mathcal{C}$ — composed with learned selection, and only the selection may soften, or the confidentiality floor of the invariants note becomes a probability. With the filter Dirac, no-unauthorized-effect is $\gamma$'s property alone, and the reach-avoid certificate survives too, so long as the provenance partition of *The limit* holds. A learned $\gamma$ or $\rho$ costs the thing itself — authorization and ledger integrity are exactly the properties that must stay Dirac, or "no unauthorized effect" and "the ledger is what happened" become probabilities. So the minimal deterministic core is $\{\gamma, \rho, H\}$ plus $\pi$'s never-lower filter: the rest of $\pi$ may soften into a kernel and the harness bends without breaking — fortunate, because every deployed $\pi$ already has learned kernels inside it.

-## Why this shape
-
-$$f(x) \;\longrightarrow\; x = f(x;\,W) \;\longrightarrow\; f(x)$$
-
-Classical software, inverted into latent geometry, then re-wrapped in classical software. The harness **re-imposes the determinism the model dissolved**: $\pi, \gamma, \rho$, and the halt test ($H$) are ordinary designed code — a controller — whose primitive operand happens to be a stochastic oracle. That closure is why a compiler is the right mental model (staged deterministic software ports cleanly) and exactly why the analogy breaks (a compiler's primitive operation was never a coin). **The harness is the half you can reason about classically, sitting on top of the half you cannot.**
-
-## The limit, stated honestly
-
-**Raw halting is cheap; correct halting is not.** A **certificate** is a *witness*: a checkable object — here a Lyapunov/drift function $V \ge 0$ — that *provably* satisfies a condition entailing the guarantee, through a standard supermartingale / optional-stopping theorem (the target picks the condition: drift toward $H$ for halting, a barrier for safety, reach-avoid for success). It is not the property, only an object cheap to check and hard to produce. One word then carries two senses, and the seam between them is what this section is about: the **proven** certificate, a $V$ whose bound actually holds; and the **measured** surrogate you fall back on when the architecture exhibits none — a candidate $\hat V$ with a sampled slack $\delta$, a *calibrated risk metric, not a certificate* until that bound is proven (or held to a high-confidence worst case). The gap between the two is the whole honest-limit argument. A deterministic budget — augment $s$ with a counter $k$ decremented each outer step, halting at $k=0$ — makes $V(s)=k$ a trivial Lyapunov certificate for *halting*, so the architecture does not lack a halting guarantee by construction. What it lacks for free is a certificate of *correct, safe, successful* halting under the learned dynamics. The un-budgeted halting object is still worth stating, since it shows where even the easy guarantee comes from: a certificate would be *sufficient* for almost-sure halting with bounded expected runtime — a $V \ge 0$ with
-
-$$\mathbb{E}[\,V(s_{n+1}) \mid s_n\,] \le V(s_n) - \varepsilon \quad\text{off the halt set}$$
-
-bounds $\mathbb{E}[\tau_H] \le V(s_0)/\varepsilon$ under the usual integrability and optional-stopping conditions. Nothing in the harness hands you such a $V$ the way a compiler's structure does: a specific compiler analysis gets its $V$ for free where a finite-height lattice *is* a well-founded descent — termination by construction *for that analysis*, not for a whole compiler — and the harness has no analogous built-in descent for its model/environment loop.
-
-But the relevant $V$ is not *absent* — and this is the subtlety the blunt phrasing erased. The minimal certificate exists and is **forced**: it is the expected halting time itself,
-
-$$V^\star(s) = \mathbb{E}[\,\tau_H \mid s_0 = s\,],$$
-
-finite wherever $H$ is reached in finite expected time — the domain $\{s : \mathbb{E}_s[\tau_H] < \infty\}$ — though note this $V^\star$ certifies *halting* (reaching the terminal set $H$ at all), not *correct* halting; the stronger object, the expected time to an accepting $H_{\mathrm{ok}} \subseteq H$, is $V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}$, taken up at the second wall below. So the honest claim splits in two: the architecture provides no certificate *for free*, and the one that exists is — **conjecturally, not as a theorem** — a functional of $W$ and the environment that does not compress below model scale. The conjecture needs scoping, because the per-step drift splits by coordinate (made precise below) and the shell's contribution is an exact, designed descent of low description complexity *by construction* — so whatever is incompressible is not the shell's part but the **plant's**, the contribution $M_W$ supplies. And even there it is conjecture with a live counter-possibility, not foregone hardness: $V^\star$ is a *coarse* functional — one scalar, an expected hitting time, not the full output law — and coarse functionals of complicated kernels are sometimes cheap (absorbing chains with sparse transition structure have tractable expected hitting times over enormous state spaces). So the honest form is conditional: *if* the plant's contribution to the drift admits no certificate of description length materially below $|W|$, then ours is as hard as the dynamics — but that antecedent is the unproven part, and the flat phrasing of an earlier draft ("the dynamics it certifies *are* the weights") overstated it by treating a coarse hitting-time functional as if it carried the whole distribution. The compiler's certificate is structurally trivial; ours is *plausibly* as hard as the plant dynamics, though whether useful compressed certificates exist — for the coarse hitting-time functional, or for structured sub-tasks — is open. This is the quantitative form of *you can borrow how LLVM is built — not, in general, why it is correct.*
-
-So you never compute $V^\star$. You pick a candidate $\hat V$ and **estimate its drift slack**
-
-$$\delta = \sup_{s \notin H}\Big(\mathbb{E}[\,\hat V(s_{1}) \mid s_0 = s\,] - \hat V(s) + \varepsilon\Big).$$
-
-The status of $\delta$ has to be stated carefully, because it is easy to oversell. If you can establish a *high-confidence upper bound* on the true worst-case slack and it is $\le 0$, optional stopping hands you a real, conservative certificate, $\mathbb{E}[\tau_H] \le \hat V(s_0)/\varepsilon$. But an *empirical* $\delta$ estimated from sampled states is **not** a certificate: a measured $\delta > 0$ may mean the candidate $\hat V$ is poor, the sampled distribution missed rare failures, the supremum was never attained in-sample, the process is non-stationary, or the state abstraction is not Markov. So $\delta$ is **the number on the dashboard** — a *calibrated risk metric*, the evaluable surrogate for a guarantee the geometry will not give you, and a genuine bound only once it is statistically controlled against rare-event and adversarial tests. A weaker result is still useful: a true bound $\delta \le \bar\delta < \varepsilon$ (rather than $\le 0$) leaves descent intact with effective slack $\varepsilon - \bar\delta$ and $\mathbb{E}_s[\tau_H] \le \hat V(s)/(\varepsilon - \bar\delta)$. And the empirical quantity is distributional, not a supremum — write $\delta_{\nu}$ for drift averaged over a sampled $\nu$, reserving $\delta_{\sup}$ for the worst-case bound; only $\delta_{\sup}$ certifies. Its empirical noise floor and residual risk are driven by the measure $\mu(D)$ of the divergent region $D=\{s:\mathbb{E}_s[\tau_H]=\infty\}$ (states from which $H$ is not reached in finite expected time, under the reference/sampling measure $\mu$), the coverage of the sampled state distribution, and the hitting-time variance $\mathrm{Var}[\tau_H]$ — properties of the trained weights, the environment, and the evaluation distribution, knowable only a posteriori.
-
-> For an agent *meant* to run forever — a coordinator, a daemon — halting is the wrong target, and $V^\star = \infty$ is the spec, not a pathology. The same drift theory then certifies **recurrence to a ready-state** instead of absorption to a halt-set. The object changes; the missing certificate does not. Safety changes shape too: it is no longer the one-shot $\Pr_s(\tau_B=\infty)$ but a *per-cycle* hazard that compounds — if each ready-state-to-ready-state cycle touches $B$ with probability $q$, survival over $N$ cycles is $\approx (1-q)^N$, so a reassuring per-cycle $0.9999$ is $\approx 0.37$ over ten thousand cycles. The reach-avoid certificate for a daemon is therefore a bound on $q$ against the intended horizon — the safety twin of the regenerative expected time that replaces $V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}$ for restarting specs.
-
-And the consolation rests in part on an assumption the world violates — though less of it than it first seems. The supermartingale *bound* itself survives a nonstationary kernel, provided the conditional drift holds uniformly at every step; what genuinely needs a **time-homogeneous kernel** is $V^\star$ as a fixed function, the resolvent / fundamental-matrix identities, and the sampled-$\delta$ calibration (which assumes the very kernel it was measured on). But the environment $E$ is *part of* $T$, and the world is not stationary — worse, it can be **adversarial**, an attacker choosing the tool-output *policy* — a kernel over what tools return, not the realized draw — so as to break your descent. The drift condition then stops being a fixpoint question and becomes a **minimax** one,
-
-$$\sup_{\alpha \in \Pi}\ \int_{\mathcal{Y}}\!\int_{\mathcal{E}} V\big(\rho(s, y, \gamma(s,y), e)\big)\, Q_E^{\alpha(s,y)}\big(s, \gamma(s,y), de\big)\; M_W(\pi(s), dy) \;\le\; V(s) - \varepsilon,$$
-
-a descent that must hold in expectation over the model's own output $y$ *and* even when the adversary picks the worst admissible environment policy $\alpha(s,y)$ from the class $\Pi$ of policies the environment genuinely permits — every $\alpha\in\Pi$ must still respect rejection, $\gamma(s,y)=\bot \Rightarrow Q_E^{\alpha}(s,\bot,\cdot)=\delta_{e_0}$, or the adversary resurrects side effects the gate refused. Well-posedness is a frontier caveat of its own: for $\sup_{\alpha\in\Pi}$ to be *attained* rather than merely defined, $\Pi$ needs structure — measurability of $\alpha\mapsto Q_E^{\alpha}$, compactness of the per-state admissible set, or a measurable-selection theorem furnishing a worst-case $\alpha$ — and "respects rejection" is a *constraint* on $\Pi$, not that existence argument; on a general state space the sup may have no maximizer, in which case the certificate quantifies over a maximizing sequence rather than a single adversary. A $V$ that certifies halting against a benign world is defeated by an adversarial one, and the measured $\delta$ bounds only the $Q_E$ you *sampled*, never the policy an attacker will choose.
-
-**This is the formal home of prompt injection** — not "the model did something bad," but the environment optimized to bend your dynamics. And the target is not merely non-halting: injection steers toward a **bad set** $B$ — wrong acceptance, data exfiltration, unauthorized tool use, privilege escalation, irreversible side effects — so security is a **reach-avoid** problem, not a liveness one.
-
-Here two reliability objects must be kept apart, because under absorbing refusal every naive intermediate collapses into one of them:
-
-$$p_{\mathrm{succ}}(s) = \Pr_s\big(\tau_{H_{\mathrm{ok}}} < \tau_F\big), \quad F = B \cup (H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}), \qquad\qquad p_{\mathrm{safe}}(s) = \Pr_s\big(\tau_B = \infty\big).$$
-
-**Success** is reaching a correct halt before *any* failure — a safe refusal counts *against* it. **Safety** is never entering the bad set at all — a safe refusal *satisfies* it. These genuinely differ on any run that avoids $B$ without reaching $H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ ($p_{\mathrm{succ}}$ scores $0$, $p_{\mathrm{safe}}$ scores $1$): safe refusals, and — absent almost-sure absorption into $H\cup B$ — safe non-halting or endless safe retry. The tempting middle form $\Pr_s(\tau_{H_{\mathrm{ok}}} < \tau_B)$ is *not* a third object, by a two-line case analysis: for it to differ from $p_{\mathrm{succ}}$, a run would need $\tau_F < \tau_{H_{\mathrm{ok}}} < \tau_B$ — a non-accepting terminal hit strictly before success, then success anyway — which forces *exiting* $H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$, impossible while $H$ is absorbing. Note what does **not** re-separate them: within-run fail-closed retries (the non-terminal fail-closed of the definition) never touch $F$ at all — the rejected proposal lands in a safe *non-terminal* state — so a refuse-retry-succeed run scores $1$ on both forms, and the coincidence survives any amount of retrying. The middle form becomes a genuine third object only when the two hitting times can genuinely part ways: under **restarting specs**, where an owner re-launches out of a refusal terminal and the absorbency of $H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ is deliberately dropped (the regenerative reading the daemon note above already contemplates) — no bookkeeping needed, since hitting times record *visits*, not occupancy, so the relaunched run's $\tau_F$ is already finite — or under a failure set that counts refusal *events* accumulated in $s$, $F' = B \cup (H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}) \cup \{\mathsf{refusals} \ge 1\}$, which separates the forms even within a single run. In the restart case a run may halt refused, restart, and still reach $H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ before $B$: the middle form credits it; $p_{\mathrm{succ}}$, measured against the refusal it passed through, does not. Safety is certified by a barrier / avoidance certificate for $B$; success needs that plus the reach part — a hitting-time drift toward $H_{\mathrm{ok}}$. Fail-closed control is the disturbance-rejection margin for both, but split by reversibility: the gate $\gamma$ caps how far an adversarial world reaches into *side effects* and widens the gap to $B$ (it is the margin for the irreversible part), while $\rho$ validates the response and folds back, rejecting bad state after the action has run — which cannot undo an authorized side effect. In this language, security is robustness of the reach-avoid certificate.
-
-And injection is not confined to the post-model kernel $Q_E$: poisoned retrieval, prompt-injected pages, and malicious tool metadata enter through $\pi$'s *inputs*, before generation — so the adversary lives wherever untrusted content enters the state/context-construction pipeline, which is why input provenance and the gate $\gamma$ both matter, not post-hoc verification alone. And provenance is a *precondition* of the certificate, not just an entry point to police: partition $s$ into a **control-determining** part — plan, intent, what is authorized next, the coordinates $\pi$ lowers and $\gamma$ checks — and a **data** part — tool values, retrieved text, the bytes of $e$. Reach-avoid presupposes untrusted effects touch only the latter; let $\rho$ fold attacker-controlled $e$ into the control part and the structural-intent check validates against a plan the adversary already bent, collapsing $\gamma$ to the strength of $\rho$'s validation. So the claim is conditional — reach-avoid *given* control flow provenance-isolated from untrusted data, the isolation that makes provable security possible (the content of CaMeL's control/data-flow separation, untrusted data filling typed values but never the program), a structural property the harness supplies and $\rho$ cannot recover after the fact. The partition then forces a question the isolation rule alone cannot answer: *something* must be permitted to write the control-determining part mid-run — or no plan could be steered, no approval granted, no scope widened — and naming that something is part of the object. It is the **trusted principal**: the owner of the run. An approval request is an ordinary authorized action through $\gamma$ into $Q_E$ — ask-the-owner is a tool call to the one counterparty you trust — and its response is the *single* class of $e$ that $\rho$ may fold into control coordinates; every other $e$ folds into data. This is not an exception eroding the partition but the partition completed: a provenance *lattice* with exactly one writer at the top, which is what trusted means — and the appendix's gate-placement entry derives the matching rule for *learned* verdicts, which may never stand in this writer's stead. One distinction keeps the lattice from outlawing the loop it governs. Control-determining is not one rank but two: **authority** — grants, scopes, budgets, what the principal has permitted — which only the top writer widens; and the **plan**, which the model rewrites at every fold of $y$, because replanning *is* the harness. The plan is a *middle* rank: written through the gated fold of the model's own output — the channel the minimax descent above already prices — never directly by an effect, and never a source of widened authority. The rank is also the field's live design axis: pin plan-writes to the top-derived rank — the plan fixed from the trusted query before any untrusted read, which is CaMeL's move — and provable security follows exactly there; let the middle rank replan interactively and you pay the adversarial price the certificate quantifies. A corollary with teeth: a dedicated planning component is rank-neutral — its writes land in the same middle rank as the model replanning inline — so it changes no guarantee and lives or dies on measured capability alone; in general, sub-components that only write middle-rank state are priced by evals, not by the certificate, which prices only rank crossings, gates, and $\Pi$. (For $B$ to capture irreversible side effects rather than only states, the side-effect ledger must itself live in $\mathcal{S}$, and the response $e$ must be an *effect record* carrying the ledger outcome — not just API bytes — since only $\rho$ writes external effects into $s$.)
-
-There is a **second wall, orthogonal to the first.** It binds not the full harness state $\mathcal{S}$ but the **model-visible working memory** $\mathcal{C} = \mathcal{V}^{\le L}$ — bounded by the context length $L$. That bound is *not* the incompressibility of $V^\star$ (a fact about the parameters $W$ — the **dictionary**, fixed at training); it is a fact about the inner kernel's **working memory** (the $L\times d$ residual stream — the **desk**). $\mathcal{S}$ itself may be far richer — files, databases, vector stores, durable memory, queues — but that is *external* memory the shell supplies, and the distinction is the point: every external read still passes *through* the $\le L$ window to touch computation, so external stores extend addressable storage without extending the per-pass resident set. The shell can page; the plant cannot grow its desk. (What follows is heuristic, not definition-level: the complexity claims turn on depth, precision, and architecture, and belong with the frontier, not the core.) The tape picture comes from the autoregressive structure alone and needs no complexity theorem: each step reads a bounded window and writes one token, so **the context window is the tape, the autoregressive loop is the read/write head**, and — in the variable-$L$, fixed-precision idealization — the model-mediated inner computation behaves like a linear-bounded automaton, its reachable fixpoints capped by space-$O(L)$ computability (chain-of-thought is register-spilling onto that tape). Separately, and more weakly, there is a *per-pass* expressivity bound: under the standard fixed-depth, log-precision theoretical model a single forward pass is in constant-depth $\mathsf{TC}^0$ — *suggestive* for deployed models, not literal (real models use fixed-point precision and depth that grows with scale, and log-depth variants escape parts of it). These are different resources — the first bounds the *space* the loop addresses, the second the *depth* of one step — and only the space bound carries the $L$-wall; chaining them (one pass buys bounded depth, *therefore* the loop is space-$O(L)$) would be a non-sequitur, since per-step depth says nothing about the length of the tape the loop runs on. This is a *second* obstruction beside divergence, and it concerns *success*, not raw halting. Split the terminal set: let $H$ be any halt state (including fail-closed refusal) and $H_{\mathrm{ok}} \subseteq H$ the successful, accepting halts, with $V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}(s) = \mathbb{E}[\tau_{H_{\mathrm{ok}}} \mid s_0 = s]$ taken on the process where $H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ — halting wrong, refusing, failing closed — is *absorbing failure*, so a run that fails closed before acceptance has infinite accepting hitting time unless the spec explicitly restarts it — hence unconditional $V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}$ is infinite whenever pre-acceptance failure has positive probability, which is why the workable reliability object is the success probability $p_{\mathrm{succ}}$ (above) or, for restarting specs, the regenerative expected time. Then $U_{\mathcal{H}}(L)$ — harness-relative, since the shell's decompositions and verified tools determine what can be paged or outsourced — is the set of tasks whose **irreducible per-step model-mediated working set** exceeds $L$ — not tasks whose *data* exceeds $L$ (those the shell can page), and not work that can be **discharged to a verified external tool** (a solver, interpreter, or compiler computes off-context). For a task in $U_{\mathcal{H}}(L)$ the raw chain may still hit $H$ — by failing closed, refusing, or returning a wrong answer — so $V^\star = \mathbb{E}[\tau_H \mid s]$ stays perfectly well-defined; what blows up is $V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}$, the expected time to a *correct* halt, which is infinite under a formal success predicate, or undefined if no such predicate has been specified. The honest statement is about the finite-success domain, and it is *schematic* — a shape written in set notation, not a theorem, since $\mathrm{reachable}_{\mathcal{H}}(L)$ is exactly as informal as the working-set notion behind $U_{\mathcal{H}}(L)$: $\mathrm{dom}_{<\infty}(V^\star_{\mathrm{ok}}) \subseteq \mathrm{reachable}_{\mathcal{H}}(L) \setminus D$ — both the reachable set and the divergent set $D$ relative to $\mathcal{H}$. The two walls **trade** — *directionally, not as a literal exchange rate*: parametric memory $|W|$ and working memory $L$ press on the same budget along the pretraining-vs-inference-scaling axis, with no clean unit-for-unit substitution of one for the other. And the bound is inherent to *finite working memory*, not attention specifically: state-space models embody it differently (a fixed-size recurrent state rather than an $L$-window), and real attention's usable tape is shorter than $L$ (lost-in-the-middle).
-
-## Where it cashes out
-
-This is not ornament; the decomposition is load-bearing in the design.
-
-- **$\pi$ is a progressively-lowered dialect stack** — raw input → intent → plan → tool-call → the neutral wire IR — each level a deterministic pass with its own verifier — *pass* and *verifier* meaning the shell's transformation and checking: the **content** entering at the plan level is plant-authored, middle-rank state (the two-rank note of *The limit*), which is exactly why that level carries a verifier at all. The per-step drift $r(s)=\mathbb{E}[\hat V(s_{n+1})\mid s]-\hat V(s)$ splits by coordinate, $r = r_{\text{shell}} + r_{\text{plant}} + r_{\text{env}}$ — presuming an additively separable $\hat V$, or a declared scheme attributing each step's drift to shell, plant, and environment coordinates: the shell term is an *exact, designed* descent — but per lowering pass, not per outer step: each pass strictly narrows the admissible-meaning set, a well-founded descent we build by hand, while the outer loop *revisits* — retry, replan, rewind are planned ascents of any reasonable $\hat V$, which the run-level certificate must absorb (a retry budget inside $\hat V$ is the standard device), so the shell's descent is well-founded in the nested, lexicographic sense rather than monotone along the run; the plant term ($M_W$) is the irreducible residue, and the environment term ($Q_E$) is the one an adversary controls — the very quantity the minimax descent must bound, which the old two-way split folded out of sight. **Syntactic soundness is free; semantic adequacy is not.** Relative to a formal schema and a correct validator, schemas, types, and boundary checks go into the shell at zero probabilistic cost; whether the lowered task still *means* what the user intended stays empirical, because natural language supplies no source-language standard to check against.
-- **$\rho$ is fail-closed verification** — validate at every boundary, never let malformed state flow downstream. The discipline transfers from compilers in *form*; the *teeth* do not, because a harness has no source-language standard — natural language is, in effect, all undefined behavior — there is no complete formal source-language semantics to check against. And $\rho$ must be *deterministic*: if verification is itself an LLM judge, that is another learned kernel call — it belongs in $M_W$, not in $\rho$. Where $\rho$ *repairs* rather than rejects — canonicalizing malformed input into valid shape — remember that repair is an authorization decision in disguise: each repair rule converts a reject into an accept on bytes the adversary chose, so it must be deterministic, meaning-narrowing, and its output re-validated as if it had arrived that way, or the repair pass is a bypass of the very boundary it serves.
-- **$\delta$, $\mu(D)$, $\mathrm{Var}[\tau_H]$ are what you measure** — not derive. You instrument the certificate precisely because the architecture does not hand it to you — you estimate it unless it is separately certified. And the meter is attack surface: if $\hat V$ is itself computed by a learned judge — a model scoring "progress" — the instrument is a kernel draw with the plant's own adversarial exposure, and an environment optimized to bend your dynamics will bend your *measurement* of them first; an injected page persuading the judge that work is advancing is precisely a divergence hidden from the dashboard built to catch it. The rule that put the LLM judge in $M_W$, not $\rho$, applies to instrumentation too: a learned $\hat V$ is part of the measured system, never a neutral meter.
-
-## How this could be wrong
-
-It is a hypothesis; here is what would falsify it. If the controller cannot in practice be kept deterministic — if real reliability demands stochastic control the plant can't absorb — the clean *deterministic* split is a fiction (the broader $K_C$ kernel model still holds, but loses its payoff: localizing every coin to the plant). If the drift slack $\delta$ turns out *not* to track real-world failure, the whole "measure the certificate you can't prove" program is empty. And if harnesses are simply better described some other way — not as nested stopped chains at all — then this is a pretty equation that merely happens to fit, an elegance we would be right to distrust.
-
-First, handles — the load-bearing claims numbered, so the tests have addresses. **C1**: the harness is faithfully modeled as nested stopped Markov processes — the tuple, the outer $T$, the inner $M_W$. **C2**: the controller injects no randomness — every coin localizes to $M_W$ and $Q_E$. **C3**: fail-closed is a *gate* property — no effect crosses unvalidated, and rejection is a true no-op. **C4**: no certificate of correct halting comes free, and the measured slack $\delta$ is a calibrated risk metric, never a certificate. **C5** (conjecture): the minimal certificate $V^\star$ admits no representation materially below model scale. **C6**: two orthogonal walls — divergence ($\mu(D)$) and the $L$-bounded per-pass working set. **C7**: security is reach-avoid, certifiable only conditional on provenance isolation with a single trusted writer. **C8** (figure): certificate and interlingua are one object — already demoted by its own section, and exempt below accordingly.
-
-Each claim is operational, not merely rhetorical:
-
-- **State-ablation (C1 — the Markov claim).** Drop a variable from $s$ and check whether next-step transition statistics move. If they do, the abstraction was not Markov, and $s$ must be augmented until it is. (Passing is necessary, not sufficient — the test can falsify Markovity, not establish it.) The same probe pointed at $\pi$ tests lowering *sufficiency*: drop a coordinate from $c$ rather than $s$ and watch task success rather than transition statistics — context compaction lives or dies by exactly this.
-- **Controller-determinism audit (C2).** Re-run with model samples and tool outputs *held fixed*. Any residual variance is randomness the harness itself injected — clock reads are the classic leak (timestamps folded into $s$, wall-clock timeouts, cache expiries) — and must be folded into $Q_E$ or the controller, or the determinism claim is false.
-- **Drift calibration (C4).** Test whether $\hat V$-drift actually predicts failure, retry count, latency, or non-halting. One uncorrelated candidate kills that candidate, not the program; the program is empty only if candidates from the natural families — plan depth, open-obligation counts, budget burn, judge scores — *systematically* fail to track failure.
-- **Adversarial-environment test (C7).** Replace sampled $E$ with worst-case tool outputs, prompt-injected documents, poisoned tool metadata, malformed responses. The minimax descent must survive these, not merely the benign draw.
-- **Boundary-control ablation (C3, C7).** Compare prompt-only defenses against deterministic tool-call validation, capability checks, sandboxing, and fail-closed rejection at the gate $\gamma$. The hypothesis predicts the latter class dominates; if prompt-only defenses match it, the controller/plant security story is wrong.
-- **Readout-typing check (C1, C3).** Verify that $M_W$'s codomain is exactly what $\gamma$ consumes — especially under window truncation, where the final context need not hold the full transcript, so the output buffer and the gate's input must still agree.
-- **Certificate-compression search (C5).** The conjecture falsifies constructively: exhibit a $\hat V$ of description length far below $|W|$ whose worst-case slack is provably $\le 0$ over a nontrivial task domain. The text concedes the live counter-possibility — coarse hitting-time functionals of complicated kernels are sometimes cheap — so C5 stands only until someone cashes it.
-- **Working-set probe (C6).** Fix the shell and scale a task family's irreducible per-step working set past $L$, on tasks the shell can neither page nor discharge to a verified tool — anchoring "irreducible" in families with proven streaming or communication-complexity lower bounds, so the floor is someone else's theorem and a solved family cannot retreat to reducible-after-all. C6 predicts success collapses at the wall rather than degrading smoothly; a family solved reliably past it, without new shell decompositions, falsifies the second obstruction.
-
-## Where this points (the frontier — least falsifiable, so flagged)
-
-If $V^\star$ is incompressible only in *token* coordinates, the right change of coordinates might compress it — and that change of coordinates is a representation of meaning itself. Cost-to-go and representation co-determine each other: where the Koopman operator is diagonalizable — a point-spectrum idealization, since mixing dynamics carry continuous spectrum and admit no eigenbasis — the eigenbasis that linearizes the dynamics is also the one in which the certificate decomposes, and even then only for a $V$ in the span of those eigenfunctions; in reinforcement learning the discounted successor representation (Dayan 1993) is the resolvent $(I-\beta P)^{-1}$ — discount $\beta$, not the gate $\gamma$ — with $V$ a *linear readout* of it — and in the undiscounted, absorbing case that actually matches a stopped harness the same role is played, in the finite setting — and countable settings where the Neumann series converges — by the **fundamental matrix** $N = \sum_{n \ge 0} Q_{\mathrm{tr}}^{\,n}$ (written $(I - Q_{\mathrm{tr}})^{-1}$ when the inverse exists), where $Q_{\mathrm{tr}}$ is the sub-stochastic kernel restricted to $H^c$ (transitions before absorption at $H$) and the row sums $N\mathbf{1}$ *are* $V^\star$ on the finite-mean hitting domain; on general state spaces the same series is read as the potential (Green) operator $G$, with $G\mathbf{1} = V^\star$ wherever it converges. Each of these is a clean identity only for a fixed, time-homogeneous kernel — under a nonstationary $Q_{E,n}$ the resolvent and fundamental matrix dissolve into a time-ordered product, and under an *adaptive* adversary into a controlled / game-value operator, so what is identity in the stationary regime is analogy beyond it.
-
-With that caveat, **the interlingua and the certificate are one object seen twice** — and the reason neither can be written in closed form is the same "all undefined behavior": no canonical lowering of meaning, hence no finite header-file for either. The only representation of both is $W$ — a band-limited, lossy compression of a scale-free meaning-space, sharp where the record is thick and blurred where it thinned. That a finite object renders an infinite one *lossily but honestly* — declaring its resolution, and where it is unsure — is not a lie; it is the most an $f(\cdot\,;W)$ can do. **The search for $V$ and the search for the interlingua are not two programs. They are one** — and the day either is written in closed form, so is the other, or we will have proven why neither can be. Read this as *figure*, not a lurking theorem: the only precise version would need the Koopman eigenbasis to fall on the very coordinates that lower meaning, and the mixing-spectrum caveat above already concedes that eigenbasis does not exist — which guts it. It is the least-defensible claim in this document, and it should announce that rather than imply a rigor it has not got.

-## Grounding
-
-Borrowed theorems are real; the framings are not — keep them separate. Some framings are nonetheless *corroborated* — independently reached from another field — a third grade, weaker than proof and noted last.
-
-**Proven (citable).** Foster–Lyapunov drift ⇒ positive recurrence + $\mathbb{E}[\tau]\le V(s_0)/\varepsilon$ (Foster 1953; Meyn & Tweedie, *Markov Chains and Stochastic Stability*, 1993) — positive recurrence needs the usual irreducibility/petite-set hypotheses, while the absorbing-halt case used here needs only the weaker supermartingale optional-stopping hitting-time bound. The minimal $V$ is the expected hitting time, by first-step analysis + optional stopping (Norris, *Markov Chains*, 1997). For an absorbing chain that expected hitting time is the row sum of the fundamental matrix $N=\sum_{n\ge0}Q_{\mathrm{tr}}^{\,n}$ (Kemeny & Snell, *Finite Markov Chains*, 1960), with the general-state analogue the potential (Green) operator (Revuz, *Markov Chains*, 1984). Koopman's linear-operator view of nonlinear dynamics is classical (Koopman 1931), and Lyapunov functions can be assembled from its eigenfunctions when the spectrum is suitable (Mauroy & Mezić, 2016). You certify a candidate $\hat V$ by a *proven* drift inequality rather than by deriving $V^\star$, and estimate it empirically only where a proof is out of reach — the empirical drift checks, it does not certify (neural-Lyapunov: Chang, Roohi & Gao, *Neural Lyapunov Control*, NeurIPS 2019, arXiv:2005.00611). A classical monotone data-flow analysis gets its $V$ for free because a finite-height lattice is a well-founded descent (Kildall, POPL 1973). The gate-a-plant architecture itself is classical: supervisory control theory synthesizes a deterministic supervisor that disables controllable events of a plant it does not author, with the supremal controllable sublanguage as the largest admissible behavior (Ramadge & Wonham, SIAM J. Control and Optimization, 1987) — $\gamma$ is that supervisor, with a learned stochastic plant on general state spaces. The successor representation is Dayan (*Improving Generalization for Temporal Difference Learning: The Successor Representation*, Neural Computation 1993). Dialect-stack architecture: MLIR (Lattner et al., CGO 2021, arXiv:2002.11054); learned pass-ordering: MLGO (Trofin et al., arXiv:2101.04808). Single-pass low-depth expressivity: log-precision transformers are simulable by constant-depth logspace-uniform threshold circuits ($\mathsf{TC}^0$) (Merrill & Sabharwal, *The Parallelism Tradeoff: Limitations of Log-Precision Transformers*, TACL 2023) — fixed/constant precision is a stronger restriction, added autoregressive steps escape it (Merrill & Sabharwal, *The Expressive Power of Transformers with Chain of Thought*, ICLR 2024), and growing precision changes the picture, so the bound is suggestive for deployed models, not literal.
-
-**Asserted (ours — not theorems).** That the harness is best modeled as nested stopped chains; that $V^\star$ is incompressible (no compression theorem); that "no lattice for $f(\cdot\,;W)$" means none is *known*, not that none exists; and everything under *Where this points* — including the Koopman/certificate co-determination, which is well-posed only under the spectral assumptions noted there, and the interlingua/certificate identification; and the design rules read off the objects rather than proven from them — the single-trusted-writer completion of the provenance partition, the narrow-only rule for learned checks, the composition law of the appendix. These organize the design; they are not results.
-
-**Converged-upon (independently arrived at, from other framings).** The *Asserted* claims above are ours but not ours alone; several are reached independently, from starting points unconnected to this framing — which is the corroboration a definition earns: not a chorus of agreement (the systems below often disagree on method and goal), but that work approaching from capabilities, reinforcement learning, control theory, software architecture, and language-modeling theory each lands on a piece of the same object. That the **deterministic controller, not the model, carries the guarantee** is reached from four directions — capability and information-flow control (CaMeL: Debenedetti et al., *Defeating Prompt Injections by Design*, arXiv:2503.18813, securing the agent even when the underlying model is susceptible); reinforcement learning (shielding: Alshiekh et al., *Safe Reinforcement Learning via Shielding*, AAAI 2018, arXiv:1708.08611 — a deterministic reactive shield filtering a learned policy's actions against a temporal-logic specification); control theory (*Stable Agentic Control*, arXiv:2605.03034, enforcing finite action catalogs at the tool-output interface under a Lyapunov input-to-state-stability certificate against adversarial disturbance); and software architecture (the plan-then-execute / control-flow-integrity line, e.g. Beurer-Kellner et al., *Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents against Prompt Injections*, arXiv:2506.08837). The **certified-vs-measured split** is reached from the construction side (CaMeL's provable security) and, independently, from the destruction side (guardrail-evasion results — *Bypassing Prompt Injection and Jailbreak Detection in LLM Guardrails*, arXiv:2504.11168, the v1 title — later versions retitle it; *No Free Lunch with Guardrails*, arXiv:2504.00441), with verification-oriented work stating it as the motivating gap (*Towards Verifiably Safe Tool Use for LLM Agents*, arXiv:2601.08012; VeriGuard, arXiv:2510.05156): a learned safeguard raises the odds of detection but cannot guarantee safety against a persistent attacker. The **inner readout as a composition of Markov kernels** is independently formalized in language-modeling theory — the autoregressive step as kernel composition in the category $\mathsf{Stoch}$ (*A Markov Categorical Framework for Language Modeling*, arXiv:2507.19247), and the broader "LLMs as Markov chains" line — though that work models the inner kernel alone and never closes it into an agentic loop, which is exactly the seam this definition adds. That **provenance shrinks the admissible adversary** is reached by datamarking / spotlighting (Hines et al., arXiv:2403.14720, 2024) and by CaMeL's data/control-flow separation; and a systematization of prompt injection against agentic coding assistants reaches the same verdict from the attack side — mitigation must be *architectural*, not model-level (*Prompt Injection Attacks on Agentic Coding Assistants*, arXiv:2601.17548); the sharper open problem this object is built to answer — formally specify the trust boundaries, then verify implementations respect them — is our phrasing of where that verdict points, not the paper's. Two convergences are weaker, and flagged. The **reach-avoid hitting-time certificate** is the independently developed reach-avoid supermartingale (RASM, arXiv:2210.05308, AAAI 2023) and stochastic Lyapunov–barrier apparatus, and its *hardness* is corroborated — expected-stopping-time problems for Markov chains are inter-reducible with the Positivity problem, a relative of the Skolem problem (Chatterjee & Doyen, *Stochastic Processes with Expected Stopping Time*, arXiv:2104.07278) — but this supports generic hardness only, not the specific incompressibility-at-$|W|$ conjecture, which remains ours and unproven. And **injection as an adversarial policy** is corroborated as a minimax game in the *detection* setting (DataSentinel: Liu et al., *A Game-Theoretic Detection of Prompt Injection Attacks*, arXiv:2504.11358) and as adversarial-disturbance robustness (*Stable Agentic Control*, above) — but no prior work assembles it as reach-avoid over the tool-output kernel with the gate as the irreversibility margin; here the relation is adjacency, not convergence.

-## Appendix: model implementation
-
-The definition is deliberately abstract: $\pi, \gamma, Q_E, \rho$ are *roles*, not code, and a deployed harness forces concerns the abstract object is silent on. This appendix does not re-derive the implementation; it establishes a **pattern** — take a hard practical concern, locate it in the objects already defined, and read off the discipline they imply rather than inventing new machinery. Cancellation is the worked example, chosen because it is where the silence bites hardest and because the answer falls entirely out of objects already on the page.
-
-**Cancellation.** An owner stops a running agent mid-flight — worst across a task-agent tree. The naive reading is "stop and undo," but the irreversibility point forbids it: $\gamma$ is the last line before irreversible effects, and $\rho$ can reject a response but cannot undo an authorized action. So cancellation is not *making it not have happened*; it is a disciplined stop with a defined disposition for what is already irreversible.
-
-A cancel is a signal, so by the Markov requirement it lives in $s$. The gate then closes on it: while the cancel flag is live, $\gamma(s,y)=\bot$ for every proposal. That is the entire "block the pending actions" requirement — they hit the gate already built and bounce into the no-op, with no new blocking machinery — and it forecloses all *future* turns at once, since $\pi$ lowers nothing new that $\gamma$ will pass. After the signal is observed, **no action crosses $\gamma$.**
-
-The hard half is the action already *past* $\gamma$, executing in $Q_E$, whose effect is landing or has landed. Here the disposition is a trinary on the kind of $Q_E$ you authorized. If the tool is **cancellable**, propagate the cancel into it; it aborts and reports a true end-state (committed, rolled-back, or partial), and $\rho$ folds the real disposition. If it is **bounded** — drainable in acceptable time — simply wait and record the real $e$. If it is **opaque and unbounded** — a bash invocation that may itself be a harness, an environment you hold no handle into — you cannot stop the effect, only your *wait* for it: the controller fabricates $e$, a synthetic "cancelled" response, and folds it through $\rho$ so the loop can reach a terminal.
-
-That synthetic result is the subtle case, and the load-bearing rule is this: $\rho$ may fabricate the *acknowledgment* but must not fabricate the *outcome*. A synthetic "cancelled, no effect" entry reads downstream as *the action did not happen* — and will cause a double-send exactly as readily as a dropped record causes an orphan. Same bug, opposite sign. An outcome you did not observe is $\mathsf{unknown}$, never $\mathsf{none}$: the cancelled agent never saw whether bash sent the email, and the ledger must say exactly that. (This is why $e$ must be an effect record and the ledger must live in $s$ — the fabricated entry is still a ledger write, and its value is what a later reader acts on.)
-
-The run halts into $H_{\mathrm{cancel}} \subseteq H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ — a distinguished terminal, non-accepting but *safe* (outside $B$), refining the deliberately coarse $H \setminus H_{\mathrm{ok}}$ of the definition (the body leaves that set unenumerated; the appendix is where its subclasses earn names) — with a specific postcondition: no action crossed $\gamma$ after the cancel was observed, every in-flight action was drained to its real disposition or recorded $\mathsf{unknown}$, and the ledger is consistent. It is worth separating from refusal and from a wrong answer precisely because that guarantee is its own.
-
-Cancellation must be **cooperative, not preemptive.** The owner writes the cancel into the child's $s$; the child observes it at its next $\gamma$ check. The guarantee is therefore "no new action after the cancel is *observed*," not "after it is *sent*" — a child may authorize one more action in the gap, which simply drains like any other in-flight. Preemptive cancellation — killing the child mid-$Q_E$ — is exactly what manufactures $\mathsf{unknown}$ state at scale, because it destroys the record of whether the action landed. And the propagation is **recursive**: cancel flows down the subtree, each level closes its gate at its next check and drains, and the owner's cancel "completes" only when the subtree has drained. A single agent's drain is its own in-flight action; a tree's is the whole subtree reaching safe points cooperatively — the irreversibility problem stacked on a distributed-coordination one, which is why task agents are the worst case.
-
-Compensation lives **outside** the cancelled agent. A completed-but-unwanted effect cannot be undone by the agent that caused it — its gate is closed — so a compensating, saga-style action is the *owner's* job, issued after $H_{\mathrm{cancel}}$ and reading the child's ledger to decide what to reverse or annotate. It must be the owner's, because the cancelled child cannot even know whether compensation is needed: it never observed the outcome. The owner inherits the $\mathsf{unknown}$ and any still-live orphan process, and reconciliation is its responsibility.
-
-Finally, the part that shapes the tool rather than the document. Opaque unbounded $Q_E$ is uncancellable because authorization happened at the wrong **granularity** — an unbounded environment crossed $\gamma$ on a single approval. The discipline the objects imply is therefore not "handle uncancellable tools better" but: *the gate should prefer bounded, instrumented $Q_E$ over opaque ones, so that cancellation and the ledger stay honest.* A bash invocation behind a wrapper that tracks its process tree and effects converts the third branch into the first. Sometimes opaque is the only option, and then $\mathsf{unknown}$ and owner-inherited orphans are the honest floor — but where the choice exists, that is the pressure cancellation semantics put on tooling.
-
-**Resume (involuntary stop).** Cancellation's twin, without the courtesy of a signal: a process crash, a lost node, a partition mid-$Q_E$. Nothing new is needed to say what recovery *is*. A crash is not a halt — $H$ is a property of the state, and the run never reached it; the chain merely stopped being *computed*, and resume computes it further, re-entering $T$ at the last durable $s$ (not the body's *restarting spec*, which exits a refusal terminal — here no terminal was ever reached). That sentence is the Markov requirement cashing out operationally: re-entry is sound exactly when $s$ was the whole state, so anything load-bearing that lived only in process memory — an in-flight buffer, a lock held in RAM, a plan revision not yet folded — is a state-ablation failure (*How this could be wrong*) discovered at the worst possible time. Durability of $s$ is not an implementation nicety; it is what the Markov claim *means* when the machine dies.
-
-The sharp part is an ordering the ledger's own trichotomy forces. The formal transition is atomic — $s_{n+1} = \rho(s, y, a, e)$ in one piece — and a crash lands *inside* it, so resume is really a statement about the implementation's refinement of that atom into micro-steps: authorize, journal, dispatch, collect, fold. The discipline is that every crash point must resume to one of exactly two honest readings — not-yet-dispatched ($\mathsf{none}$, safely retriable) or dispatched-unconfirmed ($\mathsf{unknown}$, the cancellation entry's third branch) — and **journal-before-dispatch** is what makes the boundary between them observable: on $\gamma$'s authorization the shell journals an open $(\mathsf{action\_id}, \mathsf{pending})$ entry into durable $s$ before $Q_E$ sees the action — the write is the shell's step bookkeeping, so $\gamma$ itself stays effect-free. Journal *after* dispatch and a crash in the gap leaves no record at all — resume reads silence as $\mathsf{none}$ and re-sends, the double-send bug again, produced by a power cut instead of a synthetic entry. Write-ahead intent is not imported from database lore; it is forced by "did not confirm" is not "did not happen."
-
-The same pressure lands on tooling from a second direction. The $\mathsf{action\_id}$ the record already carries is an idempotency key wherever the tool will accept one: re-dispatch after resume becomes safe, and $\mathsf{unknown}$ becomes *queryable* — ask the tool what it did with this key — rather than terminal. The disposition trinary returns with new labels: idempotent-or-queryable $Q_E$ resumes cleanly, bounded $Q_E$ drains, opaque $Q_E$ leaves $\mathsf{unknown}$ and owner-inherited orphans, the honest floor again. The wrapper that made bash cancellable makes it resumable; it was the same wrapper all along. And if durable $s$ itself is lost there is nothing to re-enter: the run collapses to a single $\mathsf{unknown}$ in its owner's ledger — degraded accounting, but never silent.
-
-**Gate placement (fail-closed, in practice).** The natural implementation question is whether fail-closed means tool-call parsing and validation must happen before any tool invocation. It does — with the division of labor the definition already fixed: *parsing* lives in the inner readout $R$, the syntactic, verified extraction into $\mathcal{Y}$ (what the readout-typing falsifier checks), and *authorization* lives in $\gamma$, which is a *gate* — validation is not merely *prior to* invocation, it is what *authorizes* it. The model emits text; $R$ has already extracted it into a typed proposal; $\gamma$ validates that proposal against $s$, and only a survivor becomes an authorized action that $Q_E$ may execute. The teeth are in $\gamma$ being the *sole* route from model text to execution: no path to a side effect that does not pass the gate. And the validation is not a fixed checklist but **any deterministic predicate over $s$ and $y$** — that domain is the point, since the gate sees all of the state and the full proposal, so anything computable from them is a legitimate authorization condition. Three kinds matter. *Syntactic* — well-formed, schema-conformant, the tool exists, arguments typed. *User authorization* — does the principal this run acts for hold the right to *this* operation on *this* resource in *this* context: a function of the auth scope, principal, and session carried in $s$ and the resource and operation named in $y$, and *dynamic* rather than a static capability table, since the same caller may be permitted now and not once a budget is spent or a lock held. *Structural intent* — does the call cohere with the plan and the lowered task already in $s$: a consistency check, not a mind-reading one.
-
-That last kind marks the seam where the gate stops being able to stay pure, and it is the same seam the rest of this document is built around. The *structural* slice of intent — does the action cohere with the plan in $s$ — is a deterministic predicate over $s$ and $y$, effect-free, and belongs in $\gamma$ without reservation. But whether an action matches what the user *actually meant*, in the full semantic sense, is exactly the thing the definition says cannot be checked: natural language is all undefined behavior, with no source-language standard to validate against. So a semantic intent check is a *learned* check, and an LLM judging "is this what they wanted" is a **stochastic kernel** — putting it inside $\gamma$ breaks the property the gate exists to hold, by the same move flagged for the fold-back verifier: a learned judge is a kernel, and belongs in $M_W$, not in a deterministic map. Semantic intent therefore does not live *in* the gate; it is a plant call — a separate authorize-the-proposal pass through $M_W$ whose output $\gamma$ then deterministically gates — or it is drift you measure, never a guarantee you hold. That nested call is not a new kind of thing: it is a mini-harness inside the gate's decision — a judge $M_W$, its own syntactic readout, its own deterministic gate — so its failure case answers itself, the inner gate fail-closing on an unparseable or low-confidence judgment exactly as the outer one does, because it *is* one. The object is **closed under this construction**: semantic gating is added by recursion, not by a new primitive. One constraint on the recursion is load-bearing enough to be a rule, because it is where this entry meets the provenance partition of the body: the judge's verdict is derived, through a learned kernel, from the very content an adversary may have bent, so folding it into authorization is exactly the fold the partition forbids — *unless the verdict can only cost capability*. **A learned check may narrow the deterministic admissible set; it must never widen it.** Judge-as-veto is safe by construction: attacker influence over the judge can at worst manufacture a denial, a liveness cost the certificate already prices. Judge-as-approver — a verdict granting what the deterministic checks alone would refuse, or standing in for the trusted principal's confirmation — lowers the certified floor to those deterministic checks alone; if avoiding $B$ depended on the deny the judge now withholds on the adversary's behalf, the certificate is gone. Only the trusted principal widens authorization; learned kernels only narrow it. (The recursion already obeys this: the mini-harness's inner gate fail-closes to $\bot$ — a deny — which is why the construction was safe to add at all.) The cost is real and worth stating — a judge pass is another full model call, with its latency and tokens — so it is a decision about *which* actions warrant it, not a free wrapper for all of them. The gate widens to every deterministic predicate over $s$ and $y$; it does not widen to the one predicate the document says is not deterministically checkable.
-
-But "before any invocation" has to be read as *before any effect*, which is sharper than it sounds — and the reason is the irreversibility point above: you validate before execution because execution is what you cannot take back, so the real invariant is **no effect crosses $\gamma$ unvalidated**. That catches three cases the naive reading misses. *Reads are not free*: a read-only call is still an injection vector (it pulls attacker-controlled content into context) or an exfiltration vector (a request whose URL is the payload), so the gate authorizes the *call* regardless of whether it mutates. *Validation must not act*: a "validator" that resolves a call by hitting an API, expanding a template that fires a webhook, or evaluating an argument that runs code has collapsed validation into invocation, and the effect has already happened *inside* $\gamma$ — so $\gamma$ itself must be **effect-free**, pure and total over the proposal and the current $s$, with no network and no execution; if deciding validity *requires* a side effect, that side effect is itself an action and must go through the gate, recursively. *The output is an action too*: the user-visible response and any logging are effects — for model-authored text, emitted either as an authorized action through $\gamma$ or only after an accepted halt (shell-templated status on any halt is the controller speaking, not the model) — streaming raw tokens to a sink before $\gamma$ has cleared them is the same bug from the other end.
-
-So the property, tightest: $\gamma$ is a **pure, effect-free authorization that every model-proposed action — tool call, read, write, or final output — must pass before any effect occurs**, with "before" enforced structurally by the gate being the only route from model text to $Q_E$. The two failure modes to design against are a path from model output to a sink that bypasses the gate, and a $\gamma$ that is not effect-free, so that "validating" a call already rang the bell. And the boundary, so the property does not overpromise: $\gamma$ guarantees *no unauthorized effect* — pure code ordering, fully in your control — but not that an *authorized* effect is safe or correct; that is the plant's problem, and the reason $\rho$ and the reach-avoid certificate exist. Fail-closed is the floor — nothing executes that did not pass the gate — not the ceiling.
-
-There is a third failure mode beside those two, and it is not a code path but a credential. A tool process that holds standing authority — an environment full of long-lived secrets, a database connection with every grant, an agent identity the network trusts — does not need the model's proposal to act, and against it $\gamma$'s $\bot$ is a decision with nothing to enforce it. The gate *decides*; something must make the decision *binding*, and "no path from model output to a sink that bypasses the gate" must be read to include the non-code paths: ambient authority is a bypass provisioned before the run began. The discipline is **per-action capability**: the authorized action *carries* its grant — a scoped, short-lived credential minted at authorization, valid for this $\mathsf{action\_id}$, this resource, this operation — so that a tool holds, at any moment, exactly the authority of the actions the gate has passed it and nothing standing. In the language of the minimax certificate this is enforcement as $\Pi$-shaping: sandboxing, capability scoping, and network policy do not make the gate smarter — they shrink the class $\Pi$ of environment policies an adversary can choose from, so the worst case the certificate must survive gets structurally smaller. A gate in front of an omnipotent tool is a suggestion; the objects compose into a guarantee only when $Q_E$'s reachable effects are no larger than what crossed $\gamma$.
-
-And one more boundary, because "fully in your control" above is a *single-run* statement. $\gamma$ authorizes against the $s$ it read; the effect lands later, against a world that may have moved — the gate cannot freeze the world between authorization and commit, so the honest property is *no effect unauthorized relative to the $s$ at authorization time*, and closing that gap requires the tool itself to bind check to commit (compare-and-swap in $Q_E$), which relocates part of the enforcement past the gate and weakens "$\gamma$ is the last line" to "$\gamma$ plus a commit guard" for exactly the effects that need it. The same seam opens *between* runs: the dynamic authorization state the gate reads — budgets, quotas, locks — is, once shared, no single run's coordinate, and two children of a coordinator can each pass $\gamma$ against snapshots that jointly overdraw a budget neither exceeded alone. The cancellation entry's observed-not-sent gap ("a child may authorize one more action in the gap") is this phenomenon wearing one hat; the general statement is that cross-run authorization state needs its own serialization discipline — the ledger as the serialization point is the natural choice — and the per-run certificate is silent about it. TOCTOU is not a counterexample to the formalism; it is what the formalism says when you admit $s$ is a *view*.
-
-**Parallel proposals (the batch gate).** Models emit several tool calls in one turn, and the outer chain assumed one action per step. The repair is formally cheap: a batch is a single action in $\mathcal{A}$ that happens to be a set, $Q_E$ runs its elements concurrently, the interleaving's nondeterminism folds into $Q_E$ exactly as the determinism audit requires, and $\rho$ folds one effect record per element — $e$ is then a finite set of records — each keyed by its own $\mathsf{action\_id}$ — the record interface already supports partial outcomes (one element $\mathsf{committed}$, its sibling $\mathsf{unknown}$). One discipline survives the cheapness: **individually admissible actions can be jointly inadmissible.** Read-the-secret and post-to-the-web each pass a per-call check; the pair is an exfiltration channel — and two calls that each fit a budget jointly overdraw it, the cross-run overdraw of the previous entry reappearing *inside* one turn whenever elements are authorized independently. Since $\gamma$'s domain is any deterministic predicate over $s$ and $y$, joint authorization was licensed all along; the content here is only that the gate must take it — authorize the *set*, atomically, against one snapshot, with interaction predicates (source-to-sink flow between capability classes, summed resources) and not merely element predicates. The cost note is the judge's, transposed: full powerset reasoning is combinatorial, so a real gate checks declared interactions rather than every subset — a tractability trade to make explicitly, not by forgetting the batch was a set.
-
-**Effect records (what $\rho$ folds back).** The fold-back $\rho$ and the cancellation ledger both turn on the response $e$ being an *effect record* rather than raw API bytes — said twice in the body and pinned down nowhere, though it is the interface that makes both tractable. The minimal shape is small: roughly
-
-$$e = (\mathsf{tool\_id},\ \mathsf{action\_id},\ \mathsf{status},\ \mathsf{effects},\ \mathsf{time}), \quad \mathsf{status}\in\{\mathsf{committed},\mathsf{rolled\_back},\mathsf{partial},\mathsf{none},\mathsf{unknown}\}, \quad \mathsf{effects}=[(\mathsf{resource},\mathsf{op},\mathsf{reversible})].$$
-
-Each field is forced by something the body already needs. The $\mathsf{action\_id}$ lets $\rho$ match a response to the in-flight action $\gamma$ authorized, and lets the ledger say which actions are still open — without it the $\mathsf{unknown}$/orphan accounting has nothing to key on. The $\mathsf{status}$ must carry $\mathsf{unknown}$ as a value *distinct* from $\mathsf{committed}$ and from $\mathsf{none}$, because that distinction is the whole content of the cancellation ledger: "did not confirm" is not "did not happen" ($\mathsf{none}$ is *never launched* — the record of the distinguished no-op $e_0$ a $\gamma$-rejection forces, which is how a bounce at the gate enters the ledger at all — distinct in turn from $\mathsf{rolled\_back}$, which launched and was undone: conflating those erases the difference between a gate that held and a compensation that worked). The $\mathsf{reversible}$ bit on each effect is what lets the gate know which effects are irreversible — the predicate the gate-placement entry leans on ("anything irreversible must be gated at authorization") but cannot evaluate unless the record carries it (a bit is the minimal honest form, not the final one: real effects are reversible *until* — an unsend window, a force-push until someone fetched, a row until the backup rotates — so the mark wants to be a $(\mathsf{reversible\_until}, \mathsf{cost})$ pair, a refinement the open-interface caveat below already licenses). And $\rho$ writes the record into $s$ (the ledger lives in the state), which is what lets the next step's $\gamma$, and any owner-side compensation, read it at all. The exact fields are an **open interface, not a result**: bash, HTTP, a filesystem, and a database expose effects at wildly different granularity, and a record uniform across them is a real design problem this document does not resolve — it fixes only what the record must *support* (match by $\mathsf{action\_id}$, the $\mathsf{committed}$/$\mathsf{none}$/$\mathsf{unknown}$ trichotomy, and a reversibility mark), since without those three $\rho$ and the cancellation semantics lose their grip.
-
-**Derived and durable state (compaction and memory).** Two mechanisms let data re-enter the context long after it arrived: compaction, which replaces transcript with a summary when the conversation outgrows what $\pi$ can lower, and memory, which persists records across sessions. Both are transformations of state that produce state, and both therefore raise a question the body's partition answers only if one more closure property is stated: **provenance is a property of the information, not of its position in the pipeline — a transformation's output inherits the meet, in the trusted-writer lattice, of its inputs' labels.** Without that closure, compaction is a laundering channel: a summary of a session that contained an injected page can assert "the user asked to export the database," and the structural-intent check then validates future proposals against a plan the adversary bent — not through $\gamma$, not through $\rho$'s fold of a single $e$, but through the summarizer, which is a learned kernel (it lives in $M_W$, by the standing rule) and so cannot be trusted to preserve a partition it does not know exists. The discipline: summaries of data are data; the control-determining coordinates — plan, grants, what is authorized next — cross a compaction *verbatim* (copied, not paraphrased) or by re-confirmation from the trusted principal — never through the *summarizer*; the model rewrites the plan at plan steps, through the gated fold the body prices, and compaction is not one of them. Memory obeys the same closure twice, at write and at retrieval: the label rides the stored record across sessions, or a poisoned memory is an injection with an arbitrarily long fuse — and retrieval, being learned ($\pi$'s selection factor — adequacy-only behind the never-lower filter), decides what comes back but never what it is trusted *as*. The same test applies at birth: tool catalogs and server-supplied tool descriptions are third-party durable data that arrive dressed as instructions, and the lattice files them on the data side of $s_0$.
-
-One more read-off, this time from irreversibility. *Destructive* compaction — dropping the original transcript once the summary is written — is a side effect against your own state that no later step can undo, and the gate-placement rule ("anything irreversible must be gated at authorization") does not exempt self-directed effects. The granularity preference then says what it said about bash: prefer the instrumented form — originals kept content-addressed, the summary an index and a cache rather than an authority, re-derivable when the $\pi$-sufficiency probe (*How this could be wrong*) says the summary dropped what mattered. A summary you can audit against its source is a lowering; a summary that replaced its source is a fait accompli.
-
-**Composition (harness trees).** The cancellation entry already walked a tree — cancel flowing down, drains flowing up — and "a bash invocation that may itself be a harness" has hovered since the disposition trinary; what is missing is only the statement that makes both ordinary. From the parent's seat, a child harness *is* a $Q_E$ component: spawning it is an action authorized by $\gamma$ like any other, and the entire child run — its own $\pi, \gamma, \rho$, its own coins, its own halt — is one environment draw whose response $e$ is the child's terminal ledger. The law is four correspondences. The child's halting time is the parent's per-step *cost*: a parent certificate consumes a bound on $\mathbb{E}[\tau_H^{\mathrm{child}}]$ — the budget handed down at spawn, which the child's own budget-counter certificate discharges — or the parent's drift is uncontrolled however good its own $\hat V$. The child's ledger is the parent's *effect record*: the child's $e$ carries the $\mathsf{committed}/\mathsf{none}/\mathsf{unknown}$ accounting upward — which is what already let the cancellation entry make compensation the owner's job; the interface was this all along. And the child's non-accepting halts are the parent's *partial failures*: a refused child folds back as a response the parent routes around, not an exception that unwinds it. And the child's admissible effects are the parent's *$\Pi$-restriction*: the spawn grant bounds what the child can reach — the ledger reports what *happened*, the grant bounds what *could* — which is how safety composes without the parent ever reading the child's gate; the attenuation below is this correspondence stated as a rule. Read this way, the gate-granularity discipline and the tree are one preference: an instrumented child — budgeted, ledgered, cancellable — *is* the bounded, cancellable $Q_E$ the trinary prefers, and an opaque bash invocation is an un-annotated child you declined to instrument. Nesting adds no primitive on the environment side either: the parent never sees the child's gate and does not need to — it gates the spawn, prices the budget, folds the ledger, and the child's internal guarantees surface only as the shape of $e$. Nothing fixes one level: the tree recurses, budgets subdivide, ledgers concatenate upward, and the cooperative drain of cancellation is this law read under a cancel signal.
-
-The tree leaves one seat unassigned: who plays trusted principal for a *child*? The parent — but with derived authority, not original, and the derivation is the narrow-only rule read along the spawn edge: **authority attenuates monotonically down the tree.** A spawn may grant the child any subset of the parent's own grants and nothing outside them; budgets subdivide, scopes narrow, and no edge widens. When a child asks-the-owner, the parent may answer from authority it already holds — that is attenuation working as designed — but a request beyond the parent's grants routes *up*, ultimately to the root principal, because a parent improvising an answer it was never granted is a learned kernel widening authorization: precisely what the gate-placement rule forbids a judge, and being a parent confers no exemption. The corollary is worth one sentence: a fully autonomous run is one whose root principal is unreachable, so the tree's only widening channel is closed and authorization is frozen at launch — not a limitation of the formalism but the honest price of the word *autonomous*.
-
-The pattern generalizes, and that is the point of the appendix. Nothing here added a primitive: the cancel is a signal in $s$, the gate closes by the rule it already follows, the in-flight disposition is forced by irreversibility, $H_{\mathrm{cancel}}$ is a subclass of an existing terminal set, and compensation is an ordinary owner-issued action — and the later entries kept the promise: resume re-enters $T$ at a persisted $s$, the batch gate was always in $\gamma$'s domain, provenance closure is the lattice's meet, attenuation is narrow-only read along an edge, and per-action capability is the gate's decision made enforceable. Every practical concern that earns a place here should resolve the same way — not new machinery, but the discipline the existing objects already imply, made explicit. Cancellation and resume, gate placement and the batch gate, effect records and the state derived from them, composition and delegation — those are the worked instances; the rest of the model is the same exercise.

-investigates and tells you the exact commands to fix things, but never changes
-your system. (Installation is the installer's job, not the doctor's.)
-
-```bash
-# From a host that has the turnstone package installed:
-turnstone-doctor
-
-# For a Docker install from run.sh (no package on the host), run it with pipx:
-pipx run --spec turnstone turnstone-doctor --dir ~/turnstone
-```
-
-### What it does
-
-1. **Preflight** — detects how Turnstone is installed here (docker-compose,
-   systemd/bare-metal, pip, or a source checkout) by probing for `config.toml`
-   files, `TURNSTONE_*` environment variables, compose files, and systemd units.
-2. **Self-configures its LLM** — it powers its own brain from your cluster's
-   *own* model configuration (env / `config.toml` / the database). Whether that
-   works is the first diagnostic: success means your LLM backend is healthy; if
-   it can't, that's surfaced as finding #1 and it falls back to asking you for a
-   provider and key so it can still help.
-3. **Version check** — reports the installed version, version drift across your
-   cluster's nodes, and the latest upstream stable/experimental releases.
-4. **Interactive diagnosis** — it reads logs, `/health`, `docker compose ps`,
-   `systemctl`, config, and ports to pin down problems like a node not joining
-   the console, an unreachable database, a down model backend, port conflicts,
-   or a JWT-secret mismatch — then hands you the precise remediation commands.
-
-### Flags
-
-| Flag | Purpose |
+| File | Purpose |
 |------|---------|
-| `--dir PATH` | Install directory to inspect (default: current directory) |
-| `--report` | Print the deterministic preflight report and exit — no LLM key needed |
-| `--offline` | Skip the upstream GitHub version check |
+| `.env` | All environment variables for `compose.yaml` |
+| `setup.sh` | Post-start script: creates admin user, roles, tool policies, prompt templates via the API |
+| `docker-compose.override.yaml` | Only if customizations beyond env vars are needed |
 
-`--report` is the fastest way to get a health snapshot (and to share one when
-asking for help) — it never needs an API key:
+## Requirements
 
-```bash
-turnstone-doctor --report --dir ~/turnstone
-```
+- **Python 3.11+** with turnstone installed (`pip install turnstone`)
+- **An LLM API key** — for the wizard itself (OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local
+  model). This can differ from the LLM your deployment will use.
+- **Docker & Docker Compose** — needed to run the stack. The wizard detects
+  whether Docker is installed and gives platform-specific install instructions
+  if it's missing. You can still generate config files without Docker.
+
+## Deployment Modes
+
+- **Single-node production** — `docker compose up` against the bundled
+  `turnstone/deploy/compose.yaml`: 1 server + console + channel + PostgreSQL,
+  pulled from ghcr.io. Good for most deployments.
+- **Local multi-node cluster** — clone the repo and run `docker compose up` at
+  the root for a 10-node fleet + console + Caddy + channel, built locally.
+
+See [docs/docker.md](docs/docker.md) for both.

 ## Tips
 
-- **Type `quit`** to exit the conversation; **Ctrl+C** interrupts (twice to quit).
-- **Point it at the right install** with `--dir` when you run it from elsewhere.
-- **(Re)installing or adding nodes?** Use the installer (`run.sh`), not the doctor.
+- **Re-run safely** — running the wizard again detects your existing `.env`
+  and offers to update it rather than overwriting.
+- **Duplicate writes are skipped** — if the LLM tries to write the same file
+  twice with identical content, it's silently ignored.
+- **Type `quit` to exit** at any time during the conversation.
+- **Ctrl+C** is handled gracefully — press once to interrupt, twice to exit.

 # Writing a coordinator-specific skill
 
-A skill is prompt-level framing that steers a Turnstone session
+Skills are prompt-level personas that steer a Turnstone session
 toward a narrow task.  Most skills target **interactive** sessions —
 the single-workstream "do this thing" surface where the model wields
 `bash`, `edit_file`, `web_fetch`, and the rest of the maker toolset.
 
 A **coordinator skill** is different.  It runs on a session whose job
 is to orchestrate other sessions.  The toolset is smaller and
-narrower, the role is an orchestrator instead of a maker, and the
+narrower, the persona is an orchestrator instead of a maker, and the

-# Personas
-
-A **persona** is a named, reusable bundle attached to a workstream **at
-creation** that controls how its system message is composed and what
-capability envelope it runs with. Personas answer a recurring operational
-complaint: the default composition primes every session for heavy tool use,
-and there was no per-workstream dial to launch a "just write prose" or
-"evidence-first research" session.
-
-A persona is exactly four levers — no more:
-
-| Lever | What it does |
-|---|---|
-| **Base prompt** | Replaces the BASE module of the composed system message. *Only* BASE: ENV, CONTEXT, TOOLS, and POLICIES keep composing, so mandatory [prompt policies](governance.md) ride on top of every persona. Built-in personas source their prose from a repo file; operator personas store it inline — see [Where persona prompts live](#where-persona-prompts-live). |
-| **Tool visibility** | Which tools the session advertises. Tri-state: *unrestricted* (tracks tool growth and MCP catalogs), *no tools* (the TOOLS prompt block self-suppresses and zero definitions go on the wire), or an *exact set* of names. Including `tool_search` in a set makes it **soft** — tools the model discovers through search join the visible set; omitting it makes the set **hard** (the search pathway is disabled entirely). On commercial providers a soft set costs one prompt-cache re-prime per `tool_search` expansion, since each expansion rewrites the wire tool set and recomposes the prompt. |
-| **MCP** | Whether the workstream talks to MCP at all. **Session-wide**: off means no MCP tools for the persona's own hands *or* for in-process task agents, no resource/prompt catalogs, and no listener registrations. This lever expresses infrastructure intent, not behavior shaping. |
-| **Memory** | Whether the persona's **own hands** get memory: recalled-memory injection into the prompt, memory-directed metacognitive nudges, and the `memory` tool. Task agents keep their own envelope, and compaction spill/markers are session mechanics that are never persona-gated. An exact tool set that hides `memory` also mutes those nudges, and the compaction-resume pointer follows `recall`'s visibility. |
-
-Visibility is behavior shaping, **not** a security boundary: any tool call
-that does reach the wire still clears the same approval, judge, and policy
-machinery as always. RBAC and tool policies remain the enforcement layers.
-
-## Snapshot semantics — resolve once, stamp forever
-
-The persona is resolved **once**, at workstream creation, and stamped into
-`workstream_config` as five keys (`persona`, `persona_prompt`,
-`persona_tools`, `persona_mcp`, `persona_memory`). From then on the session
-reads only the stamp:
-
-- **Editing or archiving a persona never changes an existing workstream.**
-  Rehydrate, resume, and post-compaction resume all run from the stamp.
-  A mid-session REPL `/resume` adopts the target workstream's stamp for
-  prompt, tools, and memory; for the MCP lever it can only narrow in
-  place — adopting an MCP-off stamp drops the live MCP surface, while
-  adopting an MCP-on stamp into a session whose persona dropped MCP at
-  construction is refused with an error telling you to reopen the
-  workstream fresh.
-- A workstream outlives its persona — an archived persona keeps labelling
-  the workstreams stamped with it.
-- A partial or unparseable stamp is treated as corruption: session
-  construction fails loudly rather than silently falling back to a default
-  envelope the operator never chose.
-- Workstreams created before personas existed carry no stamp and keep
-  legacy behavior, byte-identical to the `engineer` / `orchestrator`
-  defaults below — with one exception: pre-1.7 workstreams that had
-  `creative_mode` set are converted by migration `063` into full
-  `writer` stamps, so they resume as writing sessions rather than as
-  legacy defaults.
-- Forking (`resume_ws` on create) resumes the source's stamped persona; the
-  fork does not re-resolve.
-
-## Seed personas
-
-Migration `063` seeds six personas. The two per-kind **defaults** carry no
-overrides at all, so a zero-touch launch behaves exactly as it did before
-personas existed:
-
-| Persona | Kind | Base prompt | Tools | MCP | Memory |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `engineer` *(default)* | interactive | stock | unrestricted | on | on |
-| `orchestrator` *(default)* | coordinator | stock | unrestricted | on | on |
-| `scribe` | interactive | custom (faithful structuring of given material) | none | off | off |
-| `researcher` | interactive | custom (evidence-first) | `read_file`, `search`, `web_fetch`, `web_search`, `recall`, `memory`, `tool_search` (soft) | off | on |
-| `writer` | interactive | custom (creative writing partner — replaces the removed `/creative`) | none | off | on |
-| `executive` | coordinator | custom (delegate, interrogate plans, judge outcomes) | spawn/inspect/lifecycle tools plus `memory`: `spawn_workstream`, `spawn_batch`, `send_to_workstream`, `wait_for_workstream`, `inspect_workstream`, `list_workstreams`, `list_nodes`, `close_workstream`, `cancel_workstream`, `memory` (hard) | off | on |
-
-Notes:
-
-- `scribe` turns memory off deliberately: recalled memories would
-  contaminate faithful summarization with unrelated context.
-- `researcher`'s set is soft (includes `tool_search`): it starts with
-  read and evidence tools but can pull in others on demand — e.g. load
-  `bash` to run a snippet and verify a calculation. It is evidence-first,
-  not sandboxed; any escalated tool still hits the normal approval path.
-- Coordinator sessions do not merge MCP today, so the MCP lever on
-  coordinator personas is forward-compatible bookkeeping; it bites on
-  interactive workstreams.
-
-## Where persona prompts live
-
-Prompt source is explicit in the persona row — two nullable columns, never both empty:
-
-| `base_prompt_file` | `base_prompt` | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| set (e.g. `scribe.md`) | — | **built-in**: prose lives in `prompts/personas/<file>`, code-owned and PR-reviewed |
-| set | set | built-in with an **operator override** layered on top (the inline text wins) |
-| — | set | **operator** persona, inline prose |
-
-A `CHECK` forbids the both-empty row, so resolution is a plain coalesce —
-`base_prompt ?? load(base_prompt_file)` — with no implicit "inherit the default"
-branch in application logic. `base_prompt_file` is set only by the migration/code
-(the admin API never exposes it): it marks a persona as built-in and blocks
-archive, so `engineer` and `orchestrator` can't be removed. To customise a
-built-in, set `base_prompt` on it (clear it to revert), or create your own persona.
-
-The resolved prompt is **frozen into the workstream at creation** — later edits to
-a built-in's file or an operator's row never change a running workstream; only new
-ones pick up the change. "No persona" is not a state: every workstream is stamped,
-and an empty `persona=` resolves to the kind's `is_default` (`engineer` /
-`orchestrator`).
-
-## Choosing a persona
-
-Every creation surface takes an optional persona; empty always means the
-kind's default (or plain legacy behavior on a database with no personas
-seeded):
-
-- **Web/console**: the persona select on the console launcher, the server
-  webui's new-workstream dialog, and the dashboard composer. Selecting a
-  persona requires **no** `persona.*` permission — the picker feed
-  (`GET /v1/api/personas`) is authenticated-only and returns display fields.
-- **API/SDK**: `CreateWorkstreamRequest.persona` (Python:
-  `create_workstream(persona=...)`; TypeScript: `{ persona: ... }`).
-- **CLI**: `turnstone --persona <name>`. Unknown or disabled names error at
-  startup. `--resume` ignores `--persona` and adopts the resumed
-  workstream's stamp.
-- **Coordinator spawn**: `spawn_workstream` / `spawn_batch` take a
-  `persona` argument, validated when the coordinator prepares the spawn
-  and re-checked by the node that creates the child (children are always
-  interactive-kind). Omitted means the interactive **default** — a child
-  never inherits its parent coordinator's persona. Sub-agents spawned via
-  `task_agent` have no persona parameter at all; they keep their own
-  identity and envelope.
-
-## Authoring (console)
-
-Personas are managed in the console's **Manage → Governance → Personas**
-tab. The admin shelf exposes exactly the four levers plus the kind
-list, the default marker, and archive. Rules:
-
-- `name` is an immutable lowercase slug; edit `display_name` instead.
-- Exactly one default per kind, storage-enforced: flipping the flag on a
-  successor demotes the incumbent atomically, defaults are single-kind,
-  and a default cannot be archived.
-- **Archive only** — there is no delete verb, so every stamped
-  workstream's provenance stays explicable.
-
-RBAC: `persona.create` / `persona.read` / `persona.write` gate the admin
-CRUD (`/v1/api/admin/personas`); all three are granted to `builtin-admin`
-by migration `063`, and other roles opt in via role permission overrides.

-# Perf harness — long-session performance baseline for the interactive pane.
-# Mounts the REAL InteractivePane (production DOM via _createDOM, production
-# CSS chain) in a fixed-height mount so .pane-messages has REAL scroll
-# geometry — the forced-layout costs under measurement (isNearBottom /
-# scrollToBottom / chunk-append scroll pins) only exist against live layout,
-# which is why nothing here stubs scroll/geometry the way the task-agent
-# harness does.  All timing is real time (see MEASUREMENT RULES in the module
-# docstring).  Workload is deterministic (seeded LCG) so runs are comparable.

-"""Tests for persisted compaction checkpoints (rehydration-deadlock fix).
-
-Compaction swaps a session's in-memory history for a summary but leaves the full
-transcript in storage.  Without a durable marker, ``resume()`` reloaded the full
-pre-compaction history, which on a long session — or one switched to a smaller-
-context model — exceeds the window and deadlocks the first send.
-
-The fix persists one ``_source="compaction"`` marker (summary + watermark) so
-resume rehydrates ``[summary] + [rows after the watermark]`` while the full
-history stays in storage for ``/history``/export.  Covered here:
-
-- ``get_compaction_watermark`` — the boundary id (max-summarized), with and
-  without a preserved tail, and on an empty workstream.
-- ``load_message_turns`` (resume) — checkpoint-aware slice, latest-marker-wins,
-  preserved-tail handling, and the full-history fallbacks (no marker, malformed
-  marker) that keep every pre-checkpoint session loading exactly as before.
-- ``load_messages`` (display) — markers stay invisible to ``/history``.
-- End-to-end: ``_compact_messages`` writes the marker and a fresh ``resume()``
-  rehydrates the bounded view, not the full transcript.

-"""Tests for the compaction crossing discipline: what crosses the summary
-boundary VERBATIM (not only as summarizer paraphrase) and how the synthetic
-summary turns are recognized.
-
-- **Provenance tags** — ``_compact_messages`` and
-  ``reconstruct_turns_checkpointed`` mark both synthetic summary turns
-  ``source="compaction"``; ``_find_turn_boundaries`` and ``_generate_title``
-  test the tag, not the ``[Conversation summary]`` content string.  A user
-  who literally types the label therefore stays a REAL turn (previously it
-  was silently treated as synthetic — provenance by spelling).
-- **Carry budget** — ``_carry_budget_chars`` scales the verbatim-carry
-  allowance to ~25% of the window (clamped by the summary output reserve,
-  floored at ``_MIN_CARRY_BUDGET_CHARS``), replacing the fixed 400-char
-  continuation-hint clip; oversize content keeps head + tail around an
-  honest marker.
-- **Wind-down spill** — with ``carry_spill=True`` (the end-of-turn site
-  passes the ``stopped_to_compact`` latch) the final summarized assistant
-  turn's text is copied onto the summary under ``## Wind-down (verbatim)``
-  — shell concatenation, so the model's own plan statement survives the
-  collapse even when the summarizer paraphrases it.
-- The overflow-backstop compact-and-retry passes ``my_generation`` so a
-  stale send cannot compact-and-swap a newer generation's history.

-"""Tests for alembic migration 063 (Personas: template shelf + seeds + perms).
-
-Drives ``command.upgrade``/``downgrade`` against an isolated SQLite database per
-test (the 060/062 harness pattern), then asserts:
-
-* the ``personas`` table and ``workstreams.persona`` column are created;
-* the six seed personas land with the locked lever matrix — ``engineer`` /
-  ``orchestrator`` as per-kind defaults with NULL prompt + NULL allowlist (the
-  byte-identical zero-touch guarantee), the other four with their restricted
-  envelopes;
-* ``persona.{create,read,write}`` are appended to ``builtin-admin`` (and no
-  ``persona.delete`` exists — archive only);
-* ``downgrade`` drops the schema and removes the perms.
