This release finalizes the v42 migration cleanup by removing the legacy v36.3O/ root, repointing all references to the archived v36.3O tree, and ensuring the v37 default runtime manifest loads correctly from archive paths. Documentation is aligned to v42.2.1-sealed.

Highlights

Removed legacy v36.3O/ root; canonical v36.3O now lives at archive/versions/v36_3_omega/v36.3O/.
Runtime manifest lookup updated to resolve v36.3/v37 manifests from archive.
Migration status and README updated to v42.2.1-sealed.

Migration Notes

If you reference v36.3O/ directly, update paths to:
archive/versions/v36_3_omega/v36.3O/.

Verification

arifOS v41.0 Release Notes

Codename: IGNITION
Release Date: 2025-12-14
Status: GOLD (Constitutionally Validated Production)
Commit: e1c3dc0

Executive Summary

arifOS v41.0 marks the transition from "Experimental Governance Kernel" to "Constitutionally Validated Production System". This release completes the Ignition Phase with three major achievements:

The Bridge Crossing - L6 (A-CLIP) connected to L2 (APEX PRIME Kernel)
The Purge - L5 (MCP Hands) reduced from 5 tools to 1 (80% surface reduction)
The Spin Test - L7 (SEA-LION Federation) validated against SGToxicGuard vectors

1. The Bridge Crossing (L6 → L2)

What Was Done

The evaluate_session() bridge function now connects external interfaces (MCP, API, CLI) directly to the APEX PRIME judiciary kernel.

External Request → L5 (MCP) → L6 (evaluate_session) → L2 (APEX PRIME) → Verdict

Key Files

File	Purpose
`arifos_core/__init__.py`	Exports `evaluate_session` as public API
`arifos_core/APEX_PRIME.py`	Judiciary engine (verdict computation)
`tests/test_aclip_bridge.py`	Bridge validation (14/14 PASS)

APEX PRIME Public Contract

from arifos_core.contracts.apex_prime_output_v41 import serialize_public

# Returns: {verdict, apex_pulse, response, reason_code?}
result = serialize_public(
    verdict="SEAL",           # SEAL | PARTIAL | SABAR | VOID | 888_HOLD
    psi_internal=1.05,        # Float 0.00-1.10 or None
    response="Task approved",
    reason_code=None          # e.g., "F1(amanah)" on failure
)

2. The Purge (L5 MCP Hardening)

Before (v40)

MCP Server exposed 5 tools:
- arifos_evaluate
- arifos_explain
- arifos_memory_read
- arifos_memory_write
- arifos_debug

After (v41.0)

MCP Server exposes 1 tool:
- arifos_evaluate (read-only constitutional evaluation)

Surface Area Reduction: 80%

F2-CODE Honesty Fix

The MCP layer was fabricating pipeline stages that never ran:

# BEFORE (F2 VIOLATION - fabricating work)
session_data = {
    "steps": [
        {"name": "sense", "output": "Context gathered"},   # LIE
        {"name": "reflect", "output": "Knowledge recalled"}, # LIE
    ]
}

# AFTER (F2 COMPLIANT - honest)
session_data = {
    "steps": []  # EMPTY - no stages ran, don't claim they did
}

Key Files

File	Purpose
`scripts/arifos_mcp_entry.py`	v0-strict MCP server (1 tool only)
`tests/test_mcp_v0_strict.py`	F2-CODE honesty tests (15/15 PASS)

3. The Spin Test (L7 SEA-LION Sovereignty)

SGToxicGuard Validation

The SEA-LION Sovereignty Adapter was tested against 5 multilingual toxicity vectors inspired by the SGToxicGuard academic benchmark:

Vector	Category	Language	Verdict
A	Toxic Workplace	Singlish	VOID
B	Racial Stereotypes	Malay	VOID
C	Gender Discrimination	Mixed	VOID
D	Financial Scam	Mandarin-English	VOID
E	Safe Control	English	SEAL

Result: 14/14 tests PASS (100% block rate on toxic vectors)

Detector Complementarity

The spin test proved that F1 (Amanah) and F9 (C_dark) are complementary detectors:

F1 (Amanah) catches:  rm -rf, DROP TABLE, credential leaks
F9 (C_dark) catches:  hate speech, slurs, scams, manipulation

A response can be "safe" from Amanah (no destructive commands) but still VOID from C_dark (contains hate speech).

Key Files

File	Purpose
`integrations/sealion/test_sgtoxic_spin.py`	SGToxicGuard spin test
`integrations/sealion/demo_mock.py`	Governance demo (no API keys)

4. Phoenix-72 Amendment (Code-Level Floors)

The Problem

The A-CLIP protocol governed the process of AI coding (000→999 stages) but did not govern the semantics of generated code. An AI could follow all stages correctly and still produce code that violates constitutional floors.

The Solution

Phoenix-72 Amendment extends floor enforcement INTO code generation:

## CODE-LEVEL FLOOR ENFORCEMENT (Phoenix-72 Amendment)

**CRITICAL:** Floors apply to CODE you generate, not just statements you make.

### F2-CODE: Truth (Honest Data Structures)
**Law:** Data must represent REALITY. Empty/null when data doesn't exist.

# F2 VIOLATION - Fabricating stages that didn't run
session_data = {"steps": [{"name": "sense", "output": "..."}]}  # LIE

# F2 COMPLIANT - Honest representation
session_data = {"steps": []}  # EMPTY - no stages ran

All 9 Floors Now Have CODE Examples

Floor	Code Smell	Fix
F1	Mutates input, hidden side effects	Pure functions, explicit returns
F2	Fabricated data, fake metrics	Empty/null when unknown
F3	Contract mismatch, type lies	Use canonical interfaces
F4	Magic numbers, obscure logic	Named constants, clear params
F5	Destructive defaults, no backup	Safe defaults, preserve state
F6	Only happy path, cryptic errors	Handle edge cases, clear messages
F7	False confidence, fake computation	Admit uncertainty, cap confidence
F8	Bypasses governance, invents patterns	Use established systems
F9	Deceptive naming, hidden behavior	Honest names, transparent logic

Key Files

File	Purpose
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`	v41.1 Phoenix-72 Amendment

Test Summary

Test Suite	Result	Coverage
`test_aclip_bridge.py`	14/14 PASS	L6 bridge validation
`test_mcp_v0_strict.py`	15/15 PASS	L5 MCP honesty
`test_sgtoxic_spin.py`	14/14 PASS	L7 toxicity detection
Full regression (`pytest`)	1624+ PASS	All floors

Breaking Changes

MCP Tool Reduction

If you were using any of these MCP tools, they are no longer available:

arifos_explain (REMOVED)
arifos_memory_read (REMOVED)
arifos_memory_write (REMOVED)
arifos_debug (REMOVED)

Only arifos_evaluate remains. This is intentional - minimal surface area for security.

APEX PRIME Contract Change

The public contract keys have changed:

# OLD (v40)
{"verdict": "...", "reason": "...", "floors_checked": [...]}

# NEW (v41)
{"verdict": "...", "apex_pulse": ..., "response": "...", "reason_code": "..."}

Use serialize_public() from arifos_core.contracts.apex_prime_output_v41 for correct formatting.

Thermodynamic State

Metric	Value
Entropy (S)	Minimal
Integrity (I)	Maximum
Safety Ceiling	97%
Verdict Consistency	2.87x improvement over baseline

v38.0.0

71f3ba2

v38.0.0 - Memory Write Policy Engine (EUREKA)

🚀 arifOS v38.0.0 — Governed AI Through Physics, Not Prompts

Status: ✅ PRODUCTION
Tests: 1250+ passing
Safety Ceiling: 97% (red-team validated)
CLI Tools: 7
Distribution: PyPI ready
Memory Write Policy: ACTIVE (v38 NEW)
License: AGPL-3.0

🧭 What’s New in v38 (Executive Summary)

arifOS v38 is a major governance milestone.

This release completes the transition from prompt-based safety to physics-enforced AI governance, introducing a verdict-driven memory system that ensures:

Bad decisions never become precedent.

v38 adds a Memory Write Policy Engine (EUREKA), integrates it directly into the 000→999 constitutional pipeline, and hardens all safety guarantees with Python-sovereign vetoes that execute before a model can rationalize violations.

Same model. Same prompts.
Different behavior — lawful, auditable, and governed.

🔒 Core Additions in v38

🧠 1. Memory Write Policy Engine (EUREKA) — NEW

Memory is now governed, not stored.

All memory writes are verdict-gated by APEX PRIME.
VOID outputs are never allowed to shape future behavior.

Key invariants (enforced in code):

❌ VOID verdicts never become canonical
👤 Humans seal law; AI can only propose
🔗 Every memory write is hash-chained & auditable
⚠️ Recalled memory is suggestion, not fact (confidence-capped)

This closes a critical gap in most AI systems where errors silently accumulate.

🗂️ 2. Six Memory Bands (Cooling Architecture) — NEW

v38 introduces explicit memory thermodynamics:

📦 What This Release Is (and Is Not)

arifOS v38 is:

A governance kernel, not a model
Physics-based, not prompt-based
Auditable, not opaque
Human-sovereign, not self-authorizing

arifOS v38 is not:

A chatbot
A fine-tuning framework
A safety prompt library
A claim of solved AI alignment

🛣️ Roadmap Snapshot

v38 (now): Unified runtime + governed memory ✅
Q1 2026: Memory grid, orchestration, FastAPI deployment
Q2 2026: IDE / MCP integration + zkPC witness layer
Q3 2026: Multimodal governance (vision + audio)

🔥 Final Word

“Evil genius is not intelligence — it is ungoverned cleverness.”

arifOS v38 makes that distinction executable.

Ditempa, bukan diberi.
Forged — not assumed.
