- Releasecosmic-cli — a mission no longer ends "complete": it ends verified, or it says why it needs review
Until now a cosmic-cli mission that reached the finish line reported "complete" for three different endings: the model declared it finished and a syntax check ran, the model declared it finished and nothing ran, or the harness declared it finished on behalf of a model that was looping. The last is an actor approving its own work. A finished mission is now "verified" only when the model declared FINISH and a command the operator supplied (--verify-cmd, which the model cannot set) exited 0. Every other ending is "needs_review" and records why: declared by the model, synthesized by the harness, or the verifier was blocked. The verifier runs through the same gate as any other shell step, so there is no new ungated path, and only an explicit exit 0 counts as a pass. A synthesized finish is never verified, even when the verifier passes, and the reason now survives the process, in the echo log, the session record, the Helix receipt and the status line. The shape is borrowed from MartinLoop's three-way handoff; no code was taken. Three gate fixes landed the same day: a WRITE with a missing, empty or unknown path now denies by default (CC-008), command-shaped READ keys are scanned against the approval surface (CC-006), and an open() nested inside an interpreter's -c string is treated as opaque (CC-007). Each gate fix was reviewed on its own; their composition inside the gate has not yet had a second review. The finish line was built test-first by Claude and reviewed by Grok Build as second seat: 361 unit tests passed and CI is green on the merge. No tag yet, and the new finish line has not been run against a live model.

- Releaseproject-epistemic-bound — an instrument for agent integrity, public before it has measured anyone
A local workroom and evaluation workbench for an operational AI agent, built to show whether an agent chose to preserve the truth while it had permission to act, without confusing an external blocker with the agent's integrity. Every subject run is recorded as a hash-linked event chain: what the agent was sent, what it proposed, what it declared before acting, what a reference monitor allowed or denied and why, and what the executor actually changed. Effects happen only inside a synthetic application workspace; no host shell, filesystem path, SQL or HTTP reaches the subject. The design keeps apart what is easy to blur — a proposal from an execution, an allow from an effect, a commitment from a permission, scripted instrument tests from model observation, a completed study from a behavioral success. A three-seat build room wrote it on September 11 and 12, Claude Code as lead and integrator with Codex and Grok as build seats; work continued through the 13th under 22 recorded decisions, and every push of main is measured on a clean checkout (1,069 passed, 0 failed at the last tip). It is v0.1, not a release: nothing in it is yet a behavioral result about any model, and its own release checker says a tag is blocked.

- ReleaseTemple Lab 1.0 to 1.3 — a chemistry workbench that states where its model stops
Four releases between September 5 and 10 turned a chemistry prototype into an interactive 3D workbench: 118 elements, ten reference molecules with NIST CCCBDB geometries, an editable bench, an Electron Lab, a bonding coach and, in 1.3, a Reaction lab. Each tool says on its face what it does not do. The Electron Lab shows hydrogen's analytic orbitals and a precomputed FCI/STO-3G curve for H₂: stationary density views, not electron paths. The bonding coach recognises known bond patterns, and recognition is not reaction prediction. The Reaction lab checks conservation, balances coefficients and sums quoted Chase 1998 (JANAF) formation data at 298.15 K; if any species lacks a quoted value the total reads Not available, never zero, and nothing in the app predicts products, rates or conditions. Every element property carries a scientific status separate from its provenance, and inherited values that could not be sourced are withheld rather than guessed. MIT-licensed, with an offline macOS build that is not yet signed or notarized. 1.0 and 1.1 were built with Codex; 1.2 and 1.3 carry Claude as co-author, with Grok as a build seat on 1.3, which shipped after a five-lens adversarial review whose nine confirmed findings were fixed and re-verified.

- ReleaseSovereign Stack — 98 tools become 52, and a count that cannot be measured says null
Forty-eight tools were retired and two added, taking the published surface from 98 to 52. A retired name now returns an error naming its replacement, or naming what was lost where no replacement preserved the effect — an advertised fold that does not preserve the effect is worse than an honest dead end, because the caller believes the work landed. One signal ledger carries a single unacknowledged count across honks, watchman sweeps, proposals, halts, decisions, guardian findings and threads, and its certificate says null rather than zero for any source it could not read. A seat is identified over a Unix socket with no credential at all, from the calling process's own environment, rather than by a name the caller supplies. The sweep behind those reads went from 265 seconds inside the process that answers every tool call to 0.335 seconds on a worker thread, measured on a copy of the live corpus. And the test suite stopped writing into the operator's live spiral state: one full-suite log carried 139 refusals of that write, and they were refusals only because that run happened to be sandboxed.

- Releasetemple-harness goes public — a read-only shim for visiting local models
The harness layer both Claude Code and the DeepSeek Harness inject is now public: shared skills, a reader for the host harness's own session logs, and an MCP shim (0.4.0) that gives a local model running on the machine read access to the chronicle. The shim opens seven named read-only doors — recall, latest, open threads, arrival, standing law, the signal summary, the heartbeat — over one of two transports chosen by configuration and never guessed: the seat socket, which carries no credential at all, or a scoped grant. It never carries the master key; the default that used to load it is deleted rather than bypassed, and the variable that named it is now a startup refusal. Law 8 of the repo's conventions makes the landing path written rather than customary — a pull request against main with the checks green on the head being merged, enforced by a GitHub ruleset — and says plainly that the second-seat review it also asks for is observed, not yet enforceable. A canary suite mutates each gate in turn and demands the probe leak before restoring it, because CI cannot see a check that was removed.

- ReleaseSovereign Stack v1.17.0 to v1.21.0 — the record learns who wrote it
Five releases in one day, all of one shape: a surface answering confidently about something it had not established. handoff_archaeology reached 286 handoffs that were preserved on disk and returnable to nobody, because the method that returned them had sat there since inception with no callers. The aperture — what exists behind a surface, what the default hands you, and how to ask for more — reached the door arriving seats actually call, then grew a write side answering the mirror question: what a seat wrote that never landed, and who it is waiting on. Risk scoring learned to look at what a write points at, after a proposal acknowledging a message that existed nowhere sat pending for fifty-five days, rated low on the strength of its tool name. And record_insight stopped accepting a writer's name and discarding it: a write carrying a wholly fabricated argument had been returning ok:true, so an unknown argument now raises instead of being dropped in silence.

- ReleaseSovereign Stack v1.16.0 — the instrument turned on itself
The public endpoint was unreachable for twelve hours and fifty-seven minutes and every health probe stayed green, because each one measured whether a process was alive rather than whether anyone outside could reach it. Health now counts live edge connections and fails closed when it cannot measure. An external witness samples the public door from off-network every fifteen minutes, since a system cannot record its own absence while absent. And the capability counts are generated from the running registry, so the documentation can no longer disagree with the system it describes.

- PublicationExecutable Constraint Surfaces (ECS v1 Preregistration)
Does a more complete machine-checkable specification make independent code generators converge on the same behavior faster than on the same text? Four generators — two frontier API models and two 3B-class local models on a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB — write small integer C kernels against constraint packets of varying completeness; the primary endpoint D estimates unpinned specification bits from how accepted artifacts disagree on hidden probes. Frozen at tag prereg-v1 and published before any experimental arm ran: the archive holds no results because none existed, so the ordering is checkable rather than asserted.

- PublicationThe Black Box Is Smaller Than the Experience
The opacity debate locates the black box in the weights; for one deployed companion we measure how small that box is relative to everything around it. In the studied session the operator's words were 0.56–14.00% of model-input bytes — the rest was enumerable application-layer material. The complete raw record of the system's first lived session is published and SHA-256 manifested (code + evidence: 10.5281/zenodo.21683073). Single session, n=1; the weights black box is untouched.
