# VAULTMESH-AUTOMATION-ENGINE.md
**Civilization Ledger Workflow Primitive**
> *Every workflow has a contract. Every execution has a receipt.*
Automation is VaultMesh's orchestration layer — managing n8n workflows, scheduled jobs, event-driven triggers, and multi-step processes with complete audit trails and cryptographic evidence of execution.

## 2. Core Concepts
### 2.1 Workflows
A **workflow** is a defined sequence of automated steps that can be triggered manually, on schedule, or by events.
```json
{
"workflow_id": "wf:daily-compliance-check",
"name": "Daily Compliance Check",
"description": "Run Oracle compliance queries and alert on gaps",
"version": 3,
"status": "active",
"created_at": "2025-10-01T00:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-12-01T00:00:00Z",
"created_by": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"trigger": {
"type": "schedule",
"cron": "0 6 * * *",
"timezone": "Europe/Dublin"
},
"steps": [
{
"step_id": "step-1",
"name": "Query Oracle for GDPR compliance",
"type": "mcp_tool",
"tool": "oracle_compliance_answer",
"params": {
"question": "What is our current GDPR compliance status?",
"frameworks": ["GDPR"]
}
},
{
"step_id": "step-2",
"name": "Query Oracle for AI Act compliance",
"type": "mcp_tool",
"tool": "oracle_compliance_answer",
"params": {
"question": "What is our current EU AI Act compliance status?",
"frameworks": ["EU_AI_ACT"]
}
},
{
"step_id": "step-3",
"name": "Analyze gaps",
"type": "condition",
"condition": "steps['step-1'].result.gaps.length > 0 OR steps['step-2'].result.gaps.length > 0",
"on_true": "step-4",
"on_false": "step-5"
},
{
"step_id": "step-4",
"name": "Alert on compliance gaps",
"type": "notification",
"channels": ["slack:compliance-alerts", "email:compliance-team"],
"template": "compliance_gap_alert"
},
{
"step_id": "step-5",
"name": "Log success",
"type": "log",
"level": "info",
"message": "Daily compliance check passed"
}
],
"error_handling": {
"on_step_failure": "continue",
"max_retries": 3,
"retry_delay": "5m",
"notify_on_failure": ["slack:ops-alerts"]
},
"metadata": {
"category": "compliance",
"tags": ["daily", "gdpr", "ai-act", "oracle"],
"owner": "compliance-team"
}
}
```
**Workflow types**:
- `scheduled` — cron-based execution
- `event_triggered` — fires on system events
- `manual` — operator-initiated
- `webhook` — external HTTP triggers
- `chained` — triggered by other workflow completion
### 2.2 Executions
An **execution** is a single run of a workflow with full context and results.
```json
{
"execution_id": "exec-2025-12-06-001",
"workflow_id": "wf:daily-compliance-check",
"workflow_version": 3,
"status": "completed",
"triggered_by": "schedule",
"triggered_at": "2025-12-06T06:00:00Z",
"started_at": "2025-12-06T06:00:01Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T06:02:34Z",
"duration_ms": 153000,
"steps": [
{
"step_id": "step-1",
"status": "completed",
"started_at": "2025-12-06T06:00:01Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T06:01:15Z",
"duration_ms": 74000,
"result": {
"compliance_score": 0.94,
"gaps": ["Missing DPO appointment documentation"]
}
},
{
"step_id": "step-2",
"status": "completed",
"started_at": "2025-12-06T06:01:15Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T06:02:20Z",
"duration_ms": 65000,
"result": {
"compliance_score": 0.87,
"gaps": ["Risk assessment incomplete for high-risk AI system"]
}
},
{
"step_id": "step-3",
"status": "completed",
"result": {"condition_result": true, "next_step": "step-4"}
},
{
"step_id": "step-4",
"status": "completed",
"started_at": "2025-12-06T06:02:21Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T06:02:34Z",
"result": {
"notifications_sent": ["slack:compliance-alerts", "email:compliance-team"]
}
}
],
"input": {},
"output": {
"gdpr_score": 0.94,
"ai_act_score": 0.87,
"total_gaps": 2,
"alert_sent": true
},
"context": {
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"environment": "production"
}
}
```
### 2.3 Schedules
**Schedules** define when workflows should run automatically.
```json
{
"schedule_id": "sched:daily-compliance",
"workflow_id": "wf:daily-compliance-check",
"cron": "0 6 * * *",
"timezone": "Europe/Dublin",
"enabled": true,
"created_at": "2025-10-01T00:00:00Z",
"created_by": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"next_run": "2025-12-07T06:00:00Z",
"last_run": "2025-12-06T06:00:00Z",
"last_status": "completed",
"run_count": 67,
"failure_count": 2,
"constraints": {
"max_concurrent": 1,
"skip_if_running": true,
"maintenance_window_skip": true
}
}
```
### 2.4 Triggers
**Triggers** define event-driven workflow activation.
```json
{
"trigger_id": "trig:security-incident",
"name": "Security Incident Response",
"workflow_id": "wf:incident-response-initial",
"trigger_type": "event",
"event_source": "offsec",
"event_filter": {
"type": "offsec_incident",
"severity": ["critical", "high"]
},
"enabled": true,
"created_at": "2025-11-15T00:00:00Z",
"created_by": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"fire_count": 3,
"last_fired": "2025-12-06T03:47:00Z",
"debounce": {
"enabled": true,
"window": "5m",
"group_by": ["incident_id"]
}
}
```
**Trigger types**:
- `event` — fires on VaultMesh events (receipts, alerts, etc.)
- `webhook` — fires on external HTTP POST
- `file_watch` — fires on file system changes
- `mesh_event` — fires on mesh topology changes
- `approval` — fires when approval is granted/denied
### 2.5 Approvals
**Approvals** gate workflow continuation on human decisions.
```json
{
"approval_id": "approval-2025-12-06-001",
"workflow_id": "wf:production-deploy",
"execution_id": "exec-2025-12-06-002",
"step_id": "step-3-deploy",
"title": "Approve Production Deployment",
"description": "Deploy Guardian v2.1.0 to production nodes",
"status": "pending",
"requested_at": "2025-12-06T10:00:00Z",
"requested_by": "did:vm:service:ci-pipeline",
"required_approvers": 2,
"approvers": ["did:vm:user:sovereign", "did:vm:user:operator-alpha"],
"current_approvals": [],
"current_rejections": [],
"expires_at": "2025-12-06T18:00:00Z",
"context": {
"version": "2.1.0",
"commit": "abc123...",
"changelog": "https://github.com/vaultmesh/guardian/releases/v2.1.0",
"test_results": "all passed",
"affected_nodes": ["brick-01", "brick-02", "brick-03"]
},
"notification_channels": ["slack:approvals", "email:approvers"]
}
```

## 3. Mapping to Eternal Pattern
### 3.1 Experience Layer (L1)
**CLI** (`vm-auto`):
```bash

vm-auto workflow show wf:daily-compliance-check
vm-auto workflow create --from workflow-def.json
vm-auto workflow update wf:daily-compliance-check --from workflow-def-v2.json
vm-auto workflow enable wf:daily-compliance-check
vm-auto workflow disable wf:daily-compliance-check --reason "maintenance"
vm-auto workflow delete wf:deprecated-workflow
# Manual execution
vm-auto run wf:daily-compliance-check
vm-auto run wf:onboarding --input '{"user": "new-operator"}'
# Execution monitoring
vm-auto exec list --workflow wf:daily-compliance-check --last 10
vm-auto exec show exec-2025-12-06-001
vm-auto exec logs exec-2025-12-06-001
vm-auto exec cancel exec-2025-12-06-003 --reason "testing"
# Schedules
vm-auto schedule list
vm-auto schedule show sched:daily-compliance
vm-auto schedule pause sched:daily-compliance --until "2025-12-10"
vm-auto schedule resume sched:daily-compliance
# Triggers
vm-auto trigger list
vm-auto trigger show trig:security-incident
vm-auto trigger test trig:security-incident --event test-event.json
# Approvals
vm-auto approval list --status pending
vm-auto approval show approval-2025-12-06-001
vm-auto approval approve approval-2025-12-06-001 --comment "Reviewed and approved"
vm-auto approval reject approval-2025-12-06-001 --reason "Not ready for production"
# History
vm-auto history --workflow wf:daily-compliance-check --from 2025-12-01
vm-auto history --status failed --last 7d
```

### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3)
**Receipt Types**:
| Type | When Emitted |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `auto_workflow_register` | Workflow created/updated |
| `auto_workflow_execute` | Execution started |
| `auto_workflow_complete` | Execution completed (any status)|
| `auto_schedule_create` | Schedule created/modified |
| `auto_trigger_fire` | Trigger activated |
| `auto_approval_request` | Approval requested |
| `auto_approval_decision` | Approval granted/denied |
**Merkle Coverage**:
- All receipts append to `receipts/automation/automation_events.jsonl`
- `ROOT.automation.txt` updated after each append
- Guardian anchors Automation root in anchor cycles
---
## 4. Query Interface
`automation_query_events.py`:
```bash
# Workflow history
vm-auto query --workflow wf:daily-compliance-check
# Failed executions
vm-auto query --type workflow_complete --filter "status == 'failed'"
# Approvals by user
vm-auto query --type approval_decision --filter "approvers[].did == 'did:vm:user:sovereign'"
# Trigger fires by event type
vm-auto query --type trigger_fire --filter "event_type == 'offsec_incident'"
# Date range
vm-auto query --from 2025-12-01 --to 2025-12-06
# By workflow category
vm-auto query --tag compliance
# Export for analysis
vm-auto query --from 2025-01-01 --format csv > automation_2025.csv
```
**Execution Timeline**:
```bash
# Show execution timeline with all steps
vm-auto timeline exec-2025-12-06-002
# Output:
# exec-2025-12-06-002: wf:production-deploy v5
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

│ • Intercepts start │
│ • Tracks step progress │
│ • Captures outputs │
│ • Handles approvals │
│ • Emits receipts │
└─────────────────────────┘
JSONL + Merkle
```
### 6.3 n8n Credential Storage
VaultMesh credentials for n8n stored securely:
```json
{
"credential_id": "n8n-cred:vaultmesh-api",
"type": "vaultmesh_api",

# VAULTMESH-CONSTITUTIONAL-GOVERNANCE.md
**The Laws That Govern the Ledger**
> *A civilization without laws is just a database.*
Constitutional Governance defines the rules, amendments, and enforcement mechanisms that govern VaultMesh itself. This is the meta-layer — the constitution that the engines must obey.
---
## 1. Governance Philosophy
### 1.1 Why a Constitution?
VaultMesh isn't just infrastructure — it's a **trust machine**. Trust requires:
- **Predictability**: Rules don't change arbitrarily
- **Transparency**: Changes are visible and receipted
- **Legitimacy**: Changes follow defined procedures
- **Accountability**: Violations have consequences
The Constitution provides these guarantees.
### 1.2 Constitutional Hierarchy
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ IMMUTABLE AXIOMS │
│ (Cannot be changed, ever) │
│ • Receipts are append-only │
│ • Hashes are cryptographically verified │
│ • All changes are receipted │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CONSTITUTIONAL ARTICLES │
│ (Can be amended with supermajority + ratification) │
│ • Governance procedures │
│ • Engine authorities │
│ • Federation rules │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STATUTORY RULES │
│ (Can be changed with standard procedures) │
│ • Operational parameters │
│ • Default configurations │
│ • Policy settings │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ EXECUTIVE ORDERS │
│ (Can be issued by authorized actors) │
│ • Emergency responses │
│ • Temporary measures │
│ • Operational decisions │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

# VAULTMESH-ETERNAL-PATTERN.md
**Canonical Design Pattern for All VaultMesh Subsystems**
> *Every serious subsystem in VaultMesh should feel different in flavor, but identical in **shape**.*
This document defines that shared shape — the **Eternal Pattern**.
It is the architectural law that binds Drills, Oracle, Guardian, Treasury, Mesh, and any future module into one Civilization Ledger.
---
## 1. Core Idea (One-Line Contract)
All VaultMesh subsystems follow this arc:
> **Real-world intent → Engine → Structured JSON → Receipt → Scroll → Guardian Anchor**
If a new feature does **not** fit this pattern, it's either:
- not finished yet, or
- not part of the Ledger core.
---
## 2. Three-Layer VaultMesh Stack
At the highest level, VaultMesh is three stacked layers:
```
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L1 — Experience Layer │
│ (Humans & Agents) │
│ • CLI / UI / MCP tools / agents │
│ • "Ask a question", "start a drill", │
│ "anchor now", "run settlement" │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L2 — Engine Layer │
│ (Domain Engines & Contracts) │
│ • Domain logics: Drills, Oracle, Guardian, │
│ Treasury, Mesh, OffSec, etc. │
│ • Contracts (plans) │
│ • Runners (state machines) │
│ • State JSON (progress) │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L3 — Ledger Layer │
│ (Receipts, Scrolls, ProofChain, Anchors) │
│ • Receipts in append-only JSONL files │
│ • Scrolls per domain (Drills, Compliance, │
│ Guardian, Treasury, Mesh, etc.) │
│ • Merkle roots (ROOT.<scroll>.txt) │
│ • Guardian anchor cycles (local/OTS/chain) │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
Everything you build plugs into this stack.
---
## 3. Eternal Pattern — Generic Lifecycle
This is the reusable template for any new subsystem "X".
### 3.1 Experience Layer (L1) — Intent In
**Goal**: Take messy human/agent intent and normalize it.
**Typical surfaces**:
- CLI (`vm-drills`, `vm-oracle`, `guardian`, `vm-treasury`, etc.)
- MCP tools (e.g. `oracle_answer`)
- Web / TUI / dashboard
- Automation hooks (cron, CI, schedulers)
**Typical inputs**:
- "Run a security drill for IoT ↔ OT"
- "Are we compliant with Annex IV today?"
- "Anchor this ProofChain root"
- "Reconcile treasury balances between nodes"
- "Apply this mesh topology change"
**L1 should**:
- Capture the raw intent
- Attach minimal context (who, when, where)
- Hand it off to the appropriate Engine in L2
---
### 3.2 Engine Layer (L2) — Plan and Execute
Every Engine follows the same internal shape:
#### Step 1 — Plan → `contract.json`
An Engine takes the intent and creates a **contract**:
`contract.json` (or equivalent JSON struct) contains:
- `id`: unique contract / drill / run id
- `title`: short human title
- `severity` / `priority` (optional, domain-specific)
- `stages[]` / `steps[]`:
- ordered id, skill / module, workflow, role, objective
- high-level `objectives[]`
**Example** (Drill contract snippet):
```json
{
"id": "drill-1764691390",
"title": "IoT device bridging into OT with weak detection",
"stages": [
{
"id": "stage-1-iot-wireless-security",
"order": 1,
"skill": "iot-wireless-security",
"workflow": "IoT Device Recon and Fingerprinting",
"role": "primary"
},
{
"id": "stage-2-ot-ics-security",
"order": 2,
"skill": "ot-ics-security",
"workflow": "OT Asset and Network Mapping",
"role": "supporting"
}
]
}
```
For Oracle, the "contract" can be implicit:
- the `vm_oracle_answer_v1` payload is itself the "answer contract".
For future Engines (Treasury, Mesh), mirror the same concept:
- plan file describing what will happen.
#### Step 2 — Execute → `state.json` + `outputs/`
A **runner** component walks through the contract and tracks reality.
**Typical commands**:
- `init contract.json``state.json`
- `next state.json` → show next stage/checklist
- `complete-stage <id> --outputs ...` → update `state.json`
The state file (e.g. `drill_state.json`) should contain:
- `drill_id` / `run_id`
- `status` (`pending` | `in_progress` | `completed` | `aborted`)
- `stages[]` with status, timestamps, attached outputs
- `created_at`, `updated_at`
- optional `tags` / `context`
**Example** (simplified):
```json
{
"drill_id": "drill-1764691390",
"status": "completed",
"created_at": "2025-12-02T10:03:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-12-02T11:45:00Z",
"stages": [
{
"id": "stage-1-iot-wireless-security",
"status": "completed",
"outputs": [
"inventory.yaml",
"topology.png",
"findings.md"
]
}
]
}
```
Runners exist today for Drills; the same pattern will apply to other Engines.
#### Step 3 — Seal → Receipts
A **sealer** takes:
- `contract.json`
- `state.json`
- `outputs/` (optional, usually via manifest or aggregated hash)
And produces a **receipt** in L3.
**Example** (Drills sealer behavior):
- Copies contract + state into `cases/drills/<drill-id>/`
- Mirrors `outputs/`
- Computes blake3 or similar hash over `drill_state.json` (and later outputs manifest)
- Derives summary metrics:
- `status`
- `stages_total`
- `stages_completed`
- unique domains / workflows
- Appends a receipt entry to `receipts/drills/drill_runs.jsonl`
- Calls a generic receipts Merkle updater to update `ROOT.drills.txt`
- Optionally triggers ANCHOR via Guardian
This "seal" step is what promotes local execution into **civilization evidence**.
---
### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3) — Scrolls, Roots, Anchors
L3 is shared by all subsystems; only field names differ.
#### 3.3.1 Scrolls
A **scroll** is just a logical ledger space for a domain.
**Examples**:
- `Drills` (security drills and exercises)
- `Compliance` (Oracle answers)
- `Guardian` (anchor events, healing proofs)
- `Treasury` (credit/debit/settlements)
- `Mesh` (topology & configuration changes)
- `OffSec` (real incident & red-team case receipts)
- `Identity` (DIDs, credentials, auth events)
- `Observability` (metrics, logs, traces, alerts)
- `Automation` (workflow executions, approvals)
Each scroll has:
- 1+ JSONL files under `receipts/<scroll>/`
- 1 Merkle root file `ROOT.<scroll>.txt`
#### 3.3.2 Receipts
Receipts are append-only JSON objects with at least:
- `type`: operation type (e.g. `security_drill_run`, `oracle_answer`)
- domain-specific fields
- one or more hash fields:
- `root_hash` / `answer_hash` / etc.
- optional `tags`:
- `tags: [ "drill", "iot", "kubernetes" ]`
**Drill Receipt** (shape):
```json
{
"type": "security_drill_run",
"drill_id": "drill-1764691390",
"prompt": "IoT device bridging into OT network with weak detection",
"timestamp_started": "2025-12-02T10:03:00Z",
"timestamp_completed": "2025-12-02T11:45:00Z",
"status": "completed",
"stages_total": 3,
"stages_completed": 3,
"domains": ["iot-wireless-security", "ot-ics-security", "detection-defense-ir"],
"workflows": [
"IoT Device Recon and Fingerprinting",
"OT Asset and Network Mapping",
"IR Triage and Containment"
],
"severity": "unknown",
"tags": ["drill", "iot", "ot", "detection"],
"root_hash": "<blake3(drill_state.json or bundle)>",
"proof_path": "cases/drills/drill-1764691390/PROOF.json",
"artifacts_manifest": "cases/drills/drill-1764691390/ARTIFACTS.sha256"
}
```
**Oracle Answer Receipt** (shape):
```json
{
"scroll": "Compliance",
"issuer": "did:vm:node:oracle-01",
"body": {
"op_type": "oracle_answer",
"question": "Are we compliant with Annex IV?",
"model_id": "gpt-4.1",
"citations_used": ["VM-AI-TECHDOC-001 §4.2", "..."],
"compliance_flags": {
"insufficient_context": false,
"ambiguous_requirements": true,
"out_of_scope_question": false
},
"answer_hash": "blake3:...",
"context_docs": ["VM-AI-TECHDOC-001_Annex_IV_Technical_Documentation.docx"],
"frameworks": ["AI_Act"],
"extra": {
"version": "v0.5.0",
"prompt_version": "vm_oracle_answer_v1"
}
}
}
```
#### 3.3.3 ProofChain & Guardian Anchors
- A receipts update tool (or ProofChain engine) computes Merkle roots over each scroll's JSONL.
- Guardian sees the new root via `ProofChain.current_root_hex()`.
- Guardian's Anchor module:
- Submits `root_hex` → anchor backend (HTTP/CLI/blockchain/OTS)
- Keeps an internal `AnchorStatus` (`last_root`, `last_anchor_id`, `count`).
- Emits `SecurityEvents` (`AnchorSuccess`, `AnchorFailure`, `AnchorDivergence`).
---
## 4. Existing Subsystems Mapped to the Pattern
### 4.1 Security Drills (Security Lab Suite)
**Experience (L1)**:
- `security_lab_router.py` (select skill)
- `security_lab_chain_engine.py` (multi-skill chain)
- CLI usage:
- `security_lab_chain_engine.py --contract "prompt"``contract.json`
- `security_lab_drill_runner.py init/next/complete-stage`
**Engine (L2)**:
- `contract.json` (drill plan)
- `drill_state.json` (progress)
- Runners hydrate stages from runbooks (actions, expected_outputs).
**Ledger (L3)**:
- `security_drill_seal_run.py`:
- Syncs case directory
- Hashes state
- Appends drill receipt → `receipts/drills/drill_runs.jsonl`
- Updates `ROOT.drills.txt`
- Optionally auto-anchors using existing anchor scripts.
---
### 4.2 Oracle Node (Compliance Appliance)
**Experience (L1)**:
- MCP server exposing `oracle_answer` tool.
**Engine (L2)**:
- Corpus loader/search: `corpus/loader.py`, `corpus/search.py`
- Prompt + schema: `prompts/` (`vm_oracle_answer_v1`, `build_oracle_prompt()`)
- LLM abstraction: `oracle/llm.py`
- End-to-end:
- question → context → prompt → LLM JSON → schema validation.
**Ledger (L3)**:
- `emit_oracle_answer_receipt()`
- Hash:
- `answer_hash = "blake3:" + blake3(canonical_answer_json).hexdigest()`
- Receipts POSTed to `VAULTMESH_RECEIPT_ENDPOINT` (e.g. `/api/receipts/oracle`).
- Scroll: `Compliance`.
---
### 4.3 Guardian (Anchor-Integrated Sentinel)
**Experience (L1)**:
- `guardian_cli`:
- `guardian anchor-status`
- `guardian anchor-now` (with capability)
- Portal HTTP routes:
- `GET /guardian/anchor-status`
- `POST /guardian/anchor-now`
**Engine (L2)**:
- Rust crate `guardian`:
- Holds `ProofChain`, `AnchorClient`, `AnchorVerifier`, config.
- `run_anchor_cycle(&ProofChain)``AnchorVerdict`
- `spawn_anchor_task()` for periodic anchoring.
**Ledger (L3)**:
- Anchors + anchor events:
- `anchor_success`/`failure`/`divergence` events.
- Can be streamed into `receipts/guardian/anchor_events.jsonl` with `ROOT.guardian.txt` and anchored further (if desired).
---
## 5. Adding New Domains (Treasury, Mesh, OffSec, etc.)
When adding a new subsystem "X" (e.g. Treasury, Mesh), follow this checklist.
### 5.1 Scroll Definition
1. **Pick a scroll name**:
- Treasury / Mesh / OffSec / Identity / Observability / Automation, etc.
2. **Define**:
- JSONL path: `receipts/<scroll>/<file>.jsonl`
- Root file: `ROOT.<scroll>.txt`
3. **Define 13 receipt types**:
- Treasury:
- `treasury_credit`, `treasury_debit`, `treasury_settlement`
- Mesh:
- `mesh_route_change`, `mesh_node_join`, `mesh_node_leave`
### 5.2 Engine API
For each engine:
- **Define a Plan API**:
- `*_plan_*.py` → produce `contract.json`
- **Define a Runner**:
- `*_runner.py` → manage `state.json` + `outputs/`
- **Define a Sealer**:
- `*_seal_*.py` → write receipts, update roots, maybe anchor.
### 5.3 Query CLI
Add a small query layer:
- Treasury:
- `treasury_query_runs.py`:
- filters: node, asset, date range, tags.
- Mesh:
- `mesh_query_changes.py`:
- filters: node, segment, change type, date.
This makes scrolls self-explaining and agent-friendly.
---
## 6. Design Gate: "Is It Aligned With the Eternal Pattern?"
Use this quick checklist whenever you design a new feature or refactor an old one.
### 6.1 Experience Layer
- [ ] Is there a clear entrypoint (CLI, MCP tool, HTTP route)?
- [ ] Is the intent clearly represented in a structured form (arguments, payload, contract)?
### 6.2 Engine Layer
- [ ] Does the subsystem produce a contract (even if implicit)?
- [ ] Is there a state object tracking progress or outcomes?
- [ ] Are the actions and outputs visible and inspectable (e.g. via JSON + files)?
### 6.3 Ledger Layer
- [ ] Does the subsystem emit a receipt for its important operations?
- [ ] Are receipts written to an append-only JSONL file?
- [ ] Is the JSONL covered by a Merkle root in `ROOT.<scroll>.txt`?
- [ ] Does Guardian have a way to anchor the relevant root(s)?
- [ ] Is there/will there be a simple query tool for this scroll?
**If any of these is "no", you have a clear next step.**
---
## 7. Future Extensions (Stable Pattern, Evolving Domains)
The Eternal Pattern is deliberately minimal:
- It doesn't care what chain you anchor to.
- It doesn't care which LLM model you use.
- It doesn't care whether the Runner is human-driven or fully autonomous.
As VaultMesh evolves, you can:
- **Swap LLMs** → Oracle stays the same; receipts remain valid.
- **Swap anchor backends** (OTS, Ethereum, Bitcoin, custom chain) → roots remain valid.
- **Add automated agents** (vm-copilot, OffSec agents, Mesh guardians) → they all just become more Experience Layer clients of the same Engine + Ledger.
**The shape does not change.**
---
## 8. Short Human Explanation (for README / Auditors)
VaultMesh treats every serious operation — a security drill, a compliance answer, an anchor event, a treasury transfer — as a small story with a beginning, middle, and end:
1. A **human or agent** expresses intent
2. An **engine** plans and executes the work, tracking state
3. The outcome is **sealed** into an append-only ledger, hashed, merklized, and anchored
This pattern — **Intent → Engine → Receipt → Scroll → Anchor** — is the same across all domains.
It's what makes VaultMesh composable, auditable, and explainable to both humans and machines.
---

# VAULTMESH-FEDERATION-PROTOCOL.md
**Cross-Mesh Trust and Receipt Sharing**
> *Sovereign meshes that verify each other become civilizations that remember together.*
The Federation Protocol defines how independent VaultMesh deployments establish trust, share receipts, and create a network of mutually-witnessing civilization ledgers.
---
## 1. Federation Philosophy
### 1.1 Sovereignty First
Each VaultMesh instance is **sovereign** — it controls its own:
- Identity roots
- Anchor backends
- Governance rules
- Data retention
- Access policies
Federation doesn't compromise sovereignty. It creates **voluntary witness relationships** where meshes choose to verify and attest to each other's receipts.
### 1.2 The Witness Network
```
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ VaultMesh-A │◄───────►│ VaultMesh-B │
│ (Dublin) │ witness │ (Berlin) │
└────────┬────────┘ └────────┬────────┘
│ │
│ witness │
│ ┌─────────────────┐ │
└───►│ VaultMesh-C │◄───┘
│ (Singapore) │
└─────────────────┘
```
When Mesh-A anchors a root, Mesh-B and Mesh-C can:
1. Verify the anchor independently
2. Record their verification as a receipt
3. Include Mesh-A's root in their own anchor cycles
This creates **redundant civilizational memory** — even if one mesh is compromised or lost, the others retain witnessed evidence.
### 1.3 Trust Levels
| Level | Name | Description | Use Case |
|-------|------|-------------|----------|
| 0 | `isolated` | No federation | Air-gapped deployments |
| 1 | `observe` | Read-only witness | Public audit |
| 2 | `verify` | Mutual verification | Partner organizations |
| 3 | `attest` | Cross-attestation | Compliance networks |
| 4 | `integrate` | Shared scrolls | Tight federation |
---
## 2. Federation Scroll
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Scroll Name** | `Federation` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/federation/federation_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.federation.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `fed_trust_proposal`, `fed_trust_established`, `fed_trust_revoked`, `fed_witness_event`, `fed_cross_anchor`, `fed_schema_sync` |
---
## 3. Trust Establishment Protocol
### 3.1 Phase 1: Discovery
Meshes discover each other via:
- Manual configuration
- DNS-based discovery (`_vaultmesh._tcp.example.com`)
- DHT announcement (for public meshes)
**Discovery Record**:
```json
{
"mesh_id": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin",
"display_name": "VaultMesh Berlin Node",
"endpoints": {
"federation": "https://federation.vaultmesh-berlin.io",

"attested_at": "2025-06-01T00:00:00Z",
"attestation_type": "identity_verified"
}
]
}
```
### 3.2 Phase 2: Proposal
Mesh-A proposes federation to Mesh-B:
**Trust Proposal**:
```json
{
"proposal_id": "fed-proposal-2025-12-06-001",
"proposer": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin",

},
"signature": {
"algorithm": "Ed25519",
"value": "z58D..."
}
}
```
### 3.3 Phase 3: Negotiation
Target mesh reviews and may counter-propose:
**Counter-Proposal**:
```json
{
"proposal_id": "fed-proposal-2025-12-06-001",
"response_type": "counter",
"responder": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin",

"verification_frequency": "daily",
"retention_period_days": 180,
"additional_requirement": "quarterly_audit_call"
},
"signature": "z47C..."
}
```
### 3.4 Phase 4: Establishment
Both parties sign the final agreement:
**Federation Agreement**:
```json
{
"agreement_id": "fed-agreement-2025-12-06-001",
"parties": [
"did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin",
"did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin"
],
"established_at": "2025-12-06T16:00:00Z",
"trust_level": 2,
"terms": {
"scrolls_shared": ["Compliance", "Drills"],
"verification_frequency": "daily",
"retention_period_days": 180,
"data_jurisdiction": "EU",
"audit_rights": true,
"dispute_resolution": "arbitration_zurich"
},
"key_exchange": {
"dublin_federation_key": "ed25519:z6MkDublin...",
"berlin_federation_key": "ed25519:z6MkBerlin..."
},
"signatures": {
"did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin": {

"signature": "z47C..."
}
},
"agreement_hash": "blake3:abc123..."
}
```
### 3.5 Phase 5: Activation
Both meshes:
1. Store the agreement in their Federation scroll
2. Exchange current Merkle roots
3. Begin scheduled verification cycles
4. Emit `fed_trust_established` receipt

### 4.3 Cross-Anchor
At trust level 3+, meshes can include each other's roots in their anchor cycles:
**Cross-Anchor Receipt**:
```json
{
"type": "fed_cross_anchor",
"cross_anchor_id": "cross-anchor-2025-12-06-001",
"anchoring_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin",
"anchored_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T12:10:00Z",
"dublin_roots_included": {
"Compliance": "blake3:aaa111...",
"Drills": "blake3:bbb222..."
},
"combined_root": "blake3:ccc333...",
"anchor_proof": {
"backend": "bitcoin",
"tx_hash": "abc123...",
"merkle_path": [...]
},
"tags": ["federation", "cross-anchor", "bitcoin"],
"root_hash": "blake3:ddd444..."
}
```
This means Dublin's receipts are now anchored on **both** Dublin's chosen backend **and** Berlin's Bitcoin anchor — double civilizational durability.

## 6. Conflict Resolution
### 6.1 Discrepancy Types
| Type | Description | Severity |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `root_mismatch` | Claimed root doesn't match computed | Critical |
| `anchor_invalid` | Anchor proof fails verification | Critical |
| `timestamp_drift` | Timestamps outside tolerance (>5min) | Warning |
| `schema_incompatible` | Receipt schema version mismatch | Warning |
| `sample_missing` | Requested receipt not found | Info |
### 6.2 Discrepancy Protocol
```json
{
"type": "fed_discrepancy",
"discrepancy_id": "discrepancy-2025-12-06-001",
"reporting_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin",
"reported_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T12:15:00Z",
"discrepancy_type": "root_mismatch",
"severity": "critical",
"details": {
"scroll": "Compliance",
"claimed_root": "blake3:aaa111...",
"computed_root": "blake3:xxx999...",
"sample_receipts_checked": 50,
"first_divergence_at": "receipt-sequence-4721"
},
"evidence_hash": "blake3:evidence...",
"resolution_requested": true
}
```
### 6.3 Resolution Workflow
1. **Automatic**: Re-sync and recompute
2. **Manual**: Human review of divergence
3. **Arbitration**: Third-party mesh verification
4. **Escalation**: Federation suspension pending resolution
---
## 7. Schema Synchronization
Federated meshes must agree on receipt schemas:
**Schema Sync Receipt**:
```json
{
"type": "fed_schema_sync",
"sync_id": "schema-sync-2025-12-06-001",
"meshes": ["did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin", "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-berlin"],

# VAULTMESH-IDENTITY-ENGINE.md
**Civilization Ledger Identity Primitive**
> *Every actor has a provenance. Every credential has a receipt.*
Identity is VaultMesh's trust anchor — managing decentralized identifiers (DIDs), verifiable credentials, authentication events, and authorization decisions with cryptographic proof chains.
---
## 1. Scroll Definition
| Property | Value |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scroll Name** | `Identity` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/identity/identity_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.identity.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `identity_did_create`, `identity_did_rotate`, `identity_did_revoke`, `identity_credential_issue`, `identity_credential_revoke`, `identity_auth_event`, `identity_authz_decision` |
---
## 2. Core Concepts
### 2.1 Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
A **DID** is a self-sovereign identifier for any entity in the VaultMesh ecosystem.
```json
{
"did": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"did_document": {
"@context": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1", "https://vaultmesh.io/ns/did/v1"],
"id": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"controller": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"verificationMethod": [
{
"id": "did:vm:user:sovereign#key-1",
"type": "Ed25519VerificationKey2020",
"controller": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"publicKeyMultibase": "z6Mkf5rGMoatrSj1f..."
}
],
"authentication": ["did:vm:user:sovereign#key-1"],
"assertionMethod": ["did:vm:user:sovereign#key-1"],
"capabilityInvocation": ["did:vm:user:sovereign#key-1"],
"capabilityDelegation": ["did:vm:user:sovereign#key-1"]
},
"created_at": "2025-01-15T00:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-12-06T10:00:00Z",
"status": "active",
"metadata": {
"display_name": "Sovereign Operator",
"roles": ["admin", "operator"],
"organization": "did:vm:org:vaultmesh-hq"
}
}
```
**DID types** (method-specific):
- `did:vm:user:*` — human operators
- `did:vm:node:*` — infrastructure nodes (BRICKs, portals)
- `did:vm:service:*` — automated services, agents
- `did:vm:org:*` — organizations, teams
- `did:vm:device:*` — hardware devices, HSMs, YubiKeys
### 2.2 Verifiable Credentials
**Credentials** are signed attestations about a subject, issued by trusted parties.
```json
{
"credential_id": "vc:vm:2025-12-001",
"@context": [
"https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
"https://vaultmesh.io/ns/credentials/v1"
],
"type": ["VerifiableCredential", "VaultMeshOperatorCredential"],
"issuer": "did:vm:org:vaultmesh-hq",
"issuanceDate": "2025-12-01T00:00:00Z",
"expirationDate": "2026-12-01T00:00:00Z",
"credentialSubject": {
"id": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"role": "administrator",
"permissions": ["anchor", "admin", "oracle"],
"clearance_level": "full",
"jurisdiction": ["eu-west", "us-east"]
},
"credentialStatus": {
"id": "https://vaultmesh.io/credentials/status/2025-12-001",
"type": "RevocationList2023"
},
"proof": {
"type": "Ed25519Signature2020",
"created": "2025-12-01T00:00:00Z",
"verificationMethod": "did:vm:org:vaultmesh-hq#key-1",
"proofPurpose": "assertionMethod",
"proofValue": "z3FXQjecWufY..."
}
}
```
**Credential types**:
- `VaultMeshOperatorCredential` — human operator authorization
- `VaultMeshNodeCredential` — node identity and capabilities
- `VaultMeshServiceCredential` — service authentication
- `VaultMeshComplianceCredential` — compliance attestations
- `VaultMeshDelegationCredential` — delegated authority
### 2.3 Authentication Events
Every authentication attempt is logged with full context.
```json
{
"auth_event_id": "auth-2025-12-06-001",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"subject": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"method": "ed25519_challenge",
"result": "success",
"session_id": "session-abc123...",
"client": {
"ip": "10.77.1.100",
"user_agent": "VaultMesh-CLI/1.0",
"device_fingerprint": "blake3:fff..."
},
"node": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"mfa_used": true,
"mfa_method": "yubikey",
"risk_score": 0.1,
"tags": ["cli", "internal", "mfa"]
}
```
**Authentication methods**:
- `ed25519_challenge` — cryptographic challenge-response
- `passkey` — WebAuthn/FIDO2
- `yubikey` — hardware security key
- `totp` — time-based OTP (fallback)
- `mtls` — mutual TLS (node-to-node)
- `api_key` — service accounts (with rotation)
### 2.4 Authorization Decisions
Every access control decision is logged for audit trails.
```json
{
"authz_event_id": "authz-2025-12-06-001",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:05Z",
"subject": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"action": "anchor_submit",
"resource": "scroll:treasury",
"decision": "allow",
"policy_matched": "policy:admin-full-access",
"context": {
"session_id": "session-abc123...",
"node": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"request_id": "req-xyz789..."
},
"credentials_presented": ["vc:vm:2025-12-001"],
"evaluation_time_ms": 2
}
```
---
## 3. Mapping to Eternal Pattern
### 3.1 Experience Layer (L1)
**CLI** (`vm-identity`):
```bash
# DID operations
vm-identity did create --type user --name "operator-alpha"
vm-identity did show did:vm:user:sovereign
vm-identity did list --type user --status active
vm-identity did rotate --did did:vm:user:sovereign --reason "scheduled rotation"
vm-identity did revoke --did did:vm:user:operator-alpha --reason "offboarded"
# Key management
vm-identity key list --did did:vm:user:sovereign
vm-identity key add --did did:vm:user:sovereign --type ed25519 --purpose authentication
vm-identity key revoke --did did:vm:user:sovereign --key-id key-2 --reason "compromised"
# Credential operations
vm-identity credential issue --subject did:vm:user:operator-alpha --type operator --role viewer
vm-identity credential list --subject did:vm:user:sovereign
vm-identity credential verify vc:vm:2025-12-001
vm-identity credential revoke vc:vm:2025-12-001 --reason "role change"
# Authentication
vm-identity auth login --method passkey
vm-identity auth logout
vm-identity auth sessions --did did:vm:user:sovereign
vm-identity auth revoke-session session-abc123
# Authorization
vm-identity authz check --subject did:vm:user:sovereign --action anchor_submit --resource scroll:treasury
vm-identity authz policies list
vm-identity authz policy show policy:admin-full-access
# Audit
vm-identity audit --did did:vm:user:sovereign --from 2025-12-01
vm-identity audit --type auth_event --result failure --last 24h
```
**MCP Tools**:
- `identity_did_resolve` — resolve DID to DID document
- `identity_credential_verify` — verify credential validity
- `identity_auth_status` — current session status
- `identity_authz_check` — check authorization
- `identity_audit_query` — query identity events
**Portal HTTP**:
- `GET /identity/dids` — list DIDs
- `GET /identity/dids/{did}` — resolve DID
- `POST /identity/dids` — create DID
- `POST /identity/dids/{did}/rotate` — rotate keys
- `DELETE /identity/dids/{did}` — revoke DID
- `GET /identity/credentials` — list credentials
- `POST /identity/credentials` — issue credential
- `GET /identity/credentials/{id}/verify` — verify credential
- `DELETE /identity/credentials/{id}` — revoke credential
- `POST /identity/auth/challenge` — initiate auth
- `POST /identity/auth/verify` — verify auth response
- `GET /identity/sessions` — list sessions
- `DELETE /identity/sessions/{id}` — revoke session

### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3)
**Receipt Types**:
| Type | When Emitted |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `identity_did_create` | New DID registered |
| `identity_did_rotate` | DID keys rotated |
| `identity_did_revoke` | DID revoked/deactivated |
| `identity_credential_issue` | New credential issued |
| `identity_credential_revoke`| Credential revoked |
| `identity_auth_event` | Authentication attempt (success/fail) |
| `identity_authz_decision` | Sensitive authorization decision |
**Merkle Coverage**:
- All receipts append to `receipts/identity/identity_events.jsonl`
- `ROOT.identity.txt` updated after each append
- Guardian anchors Identity root in anchor cycles
---
## 4. Query Interface
`identity_query_events.py`:
```bash
# DID history
vm-identity query --did did:vm:user:sovereign
# All auth events for a subject
vm-identity query --type auth_event --subject did:vm:user:sovereign
# Failed authentications
vm-identity query --type auth_event --result failure --last 7d
# Credentials issued by an org
vm-identity query --type credential_issue --issuer did:vm:org:vaultmesh-hq
# Authorization denials
vm-identity query --type authz_decision --decision deny
# Date range
vm-identity query --from 2025-12-01 --to 2025-12-06
# Export for compliance audit
vm-identity query --from 2025-01-01 --format csv > identity_audit_2025.csv
```
**DID Resolution History**:
```bash
# Show all versions of a DID document
vm-identity did history did:vm:user:sovereign
# Output:
# Version 1: 2025-01-15T00:00:00Z (created)
# - Key: key-1 (ed25519)
# Version 2: 2025-06-15T00:00:00Z (key rotation)

## 8. Integration Points
| System | Integration |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Guardian** | Uses Identity for anchor authentication; alerts on suspicious auth events |
| **Mesh** | Node DIDs registered via Identity; capability grants require valid credentials |
| **Treasury** | Account ownership linked to DIDs; transaction signing uses Identity keys |
| **Oracle** | Oracle queries authenticated via Identity; responses signed with service DID |
| **OffSec** | Incident response can trigger emergency credential revocations |
| **Observability**| All identity events flow to observability for correlation |
---
## 9. Future Extensions
- **Biometric binding**: Link credentials to biometric templates
- **Delegation chains**: Transitive capability delegation with constraints
- **Anonymous credentials**: Zero-knowledge proofs for privacy-preserving auth
- **Cross-mesh identity**: Federated identity across VaultMesh instances
- **Hardware attestation**: TPM/Secure Enclave binding for high-assurance
- **Identity recovery DAO**: Decentralized recovery governance

**Civilization Ledger Federation Primitive**
> *Nodes that anchor together, survive together.*
Mesh is VaultMesh's topology memory — tracking how nodes discover each other, establish trust, share capabilities, and evolve their federation relationships over time. Every topology change becomes evidence.
---
## 1. Scroll Definition
| Property | Value |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Scroll Name** | `Mesh` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/mesh/mesh_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.mesh.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `mesh_node_join`, `mesh_node_leave`, `mesh_route_change`, `mesh_capability_grant`, `mesh_capability_revoke`, `mesh_topology_snapshot` |
---
## 2. Core Concepts
### 2.1 Nodes
A **node** is any VaultMesh-aware endpoint that participates in the federation.
```json
{
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"display_name": "BRICK-01 (Dublin Primary)",
"node_type": "infrastructure",
"endpoints": {
"portal": "https://brick-01.vaultmesh.local:8443",
"wireguard": "10.77.1.1",
"tailscale": "brick-01.tail.net"
},
"public_key": "ed25519:abc123...",
"capabilities": ["anchor", "storage", "compute", "oracle"],
"status": "active",
"joined_at": "2025-06-15T00:00:00Z",
"last_seen": "2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"tags": ["production", "eu-west", "akash"]
}
```
**Node types**:
* `infrastructure` — BRICK servers, compute nodes
* `edge` — mobile devices, sovereign phones, field endpoints
* `oracle` — compliance oracle instances
* `guardian` — dedicated anchor/sentinel nodes
* `external` — federated nodes from other VaultMesh deployments
### 2.2 Routes
A **route** defines how traffic flows between nodes or segments.
```json
{
"route_id": "route-brick01-to-brick02",
"source": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"destination": "did:vm:node:brick-02",
"transport": "wireguard",
"priority": 1,
"status": "active",
"latency_ms": 12,
"established_at": "2025-06-20T00:00:00Z"
}
```
Routes can be:
* **Direct**: Node-to-node (WireGuard, Tailscale)
* **Relayed**: Through a gateway node
* **Redundant**: Multiple paths with failover priority
### 2.3 Capabilities
**Capabilities** are the trust primitives — what a node is permitted to do within the federation.
```json
{
"capability_id": "cap:brick-01:anchor:2025",
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"capability": "anchor",
"scope": "global",
"granted_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"granted_at": "2025-06-15T00:00:00Z",
"expires_at": "2026-06-15T00:00:00Z",
"constraints": {
"max_anchor_rate": "100/day",
"allowed_scrolls": ["*"]
}
}
```
Standard capabilities:
* `anchor` — can submit roots to anchor backends
* `storage` — can store receipts and artifacts
* `compute` — can execute drills, run agents
* `oracle` — can issue compliance answers
* `admin` — can grant/revoke capabilities to other nodes
* `federate` — can establish trust with external meshes
### 2.4 Topology Snapshots
Periodic **snapshots** capture the full mesh state — useful for auditing, disaster recovery, and proving historical topology.
---
## 3. Mapping to Eternal Pattern
### 3.1 Experience Layer (L1)
**CLI** (`vm-mesh`):
```bash
# Node operations
vm-mesh node list
vm-mesh node show brick-01
vm-mesh node join --config node-manifest.json
vm-mesh node leave --node brick-02 --reason "decommissioned"
# Route operations
vm-mesh route list
vm-mesh route add --from brick-01 --to brick-03 --transport tailscale
vm-mesh route test --route route-brick01-to-brick02
# Capability operations
vm-mesh capability list --node brick-01
vm-mesh capability grant --node brick-02 --capability oracle --expires 2026-01-01
vm-mesh capability revoke --node brick-02 --capability anchor --reason "security incident"
# Topology
vm-mesh topology show
vm-mesh topology snapshot --output snapshots/2025-12-06.json
vm-mesh topology diff --from snapshots/2025-11-01.json --to snapshots/2025-12-06.json
# Health
vm-mesh health --full
vm-mesh ping --all
```
**MCP Tools**:
* `mesh_node_status` — get node details and health
* `mesh_list_nodes` — enumerate active nodes
* `mesh_topology_summary` — current topology overview
* `mesh_capability_check` — verify if node has capability
* `mesh_route_health` — check route latency and status
**Portal HTTP**:
* `GET /mesh/nodes` — list nodes
* `GET /mesh/nodes/{node_id}` — node details
* `POST /mesh/nodes/join` — register new node
* `POST /mesh/nodes/{node_id}/leave` — deregister node
* `GET /mesh/routes` — list routes
* `POST /mesh/routes` — add route
* `GET /mesh/capabilities/{node_id}` — node capabilities
* `POST /mesh/capabilities/grant` — grant capability
* `POST /mesh/capabilities/revoke` — revoke capability
* `GET /mesh/topology` — current topology
* `POST /mesh/topology/snapshot` — create snapshot
---
### 3.2 Engine Layer (L2)
#### Step 1 — Plan → `mesh_change_contract.json`
For simple operations (single node join, route add), the contract is implicit.
For coordinated topology changes, an explicit contract:
```json
{
"change_id": "mesh-change-2025-12-06-001",
"title": "Add BRICK-03 to Dublin Cluster",
"initiated_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"initiated_at": "2025-12-06T11:00:00Z",
"change_type": "node_expansion",
"operations": [
{
"op_id": "op-001",
"operation": "node_join",
"target": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"config": {
"display_name": "BRICK-03 (Dublin Secondary)",
"node_type": "infrastructure",
"endpoints": {
"portal": "https://brick-03.vaultmesh.local:8443",
"wireguard": "10.77.1.3"
},
"public_key": "ed25519:def456..."
}
},
{
"op_id": "op-002",
"operation": "route_add",
"config": {
"source": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"destination": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"transport": "wireguard"
}
},
{
"op_id": "op-003",
"operation": "route_add",
"config": {
"source": "did:vm:node:brick-02",
"destination": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"transport": "wireguard"
}
},
{
"op_id": "op-004",
"operation": "capability_grant",
"config": {
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"capability": "storage",
"scope": "local",
"expires_at": "2026-12-06T00:00:00Z"
}
}
],
"requires_approval": ["portal-01"],
"rollback_on_failure": true
}
```
#### Step 2 — Execute → `mesh_change_state.json`
```json
{
"change_id": "mesh-change-2025-12-06-001",
"status": "in_progress",
"created_at": "2025-12-06T11:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-12-06T11:05:00Z",
"operations": [
{
"op_id": "op-001",
"status": "completed",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T11:02:00Z",
"result": {
"node_registered": true,
"handshake_verified": true
}
},
{
"op_id": "op-002",
"status": "completed",
"completed_at": "2025-12-06T11:03:00Z",
"result": {
"route_established": true,
"latency_ms": 8
}
},
{
"op_id": "op-003",
"status": "in_progress",
"started_at": "2025-12-06T11:04:00Z"
},
{
"op_id": "op-004",
"status": "pending"
}
],
"topology_before_hash": "blake3:aaa111...",
"approvals": {
"portal-01": {
"approved_at": "2025-12-06T11:01:00Z",
"signature": "ed25519:..."
}
}
}
```
**Status transitions**:
```
draft → pending_approval → in_progress → completed
↘ partial_failure → rollback → rolled_back
↘ failed → rollback → rolled_back
```
#### Step 3 — Seal → Receipts
Each operation in a change produces its own receipt, plus a summary receipt for coordinated changes.
**Node Join Receipt**:
```json
{
"type": "mesh_node_join",
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"display_name": "BRICK-03 (Dublin Secondary)",
"node_type": "infrastructure",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T11:02:00Z",
"initiated_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"change_id": "mesh-change-2025-12-06-001",
"endpoints_hash": "blake3:...",
"public_key_fingerprint": "SHA256:...",
"tags": ["mesh", "node", "join", "infrastructure"],
"root_hash": "blake3:bbb222..."
}
```
**Route Change Receipt**:
```json
{
"type": "mesh_route_change",
"route_id": "route-brick01-to-brick03",
"operation": "add",
"source": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"destination": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"transport": "wireguard",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T11:03:00Z",
"initiated_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"change_id": "mesh-change-2025-12-06-001",
"latency_ms": 8,
"tags": ["mesh", "route", "add"],
"root_hash": "blake3:ccc333..."
}
```
**Capability Grant Receipt**:
```json
{
"type": "mesh_capability_grant",
"capability_id": "cap:brick-03:storage:2025",
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-03",
"capability": "storage",
"scope": "local",
"granted_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T11:06:00Z",
"expires_at": "2026-12-06T00:00:00Z",
"change_id": "mesh-change-2025-12-06-001",
"tags": ["mesh", "capability", "grant", "storage"],
"root_hash": "blake3:ddd444..."
}
```
**Topology Snapshot Receipt** (periodic):
```json
{
"type": "mesh_topology_snapshot",
"snapshot_id": "snapshot-2025-12-06-001",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T12:00:00Z",
"node_count": 5,
"route_count": 12,
"capability_count": 23,
"nodes": ["brick-01", "brick-02", "brick-03", "portal-01", "oracle-01"],
"topology_hash": "blake3:eee555...",
"snapshot_path": "snapshots/mesh/2025-12-06-001.json",
"tags": ["mesh", "snapshot", "topology"],
"root_hash": "blake3:fff666..."
}
```
---
### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3)
**Receipt Types**:
| Type | When Emitted |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `mesh_node_join` | Node registered in mesh |
| `mesh_node_leave` | Node deregistered |
| `mesh_route_change` | Route added, removed, or modified |
| `mesh_capability_grant` | Capability granted to node |
| `mesh_capability_revoke` | Capability revoked from node |
| `mesh_topology_snapshot` | Periodic full topology capture |
**Merkle Coverage**:
* All receipts append to `receipts/mesh/mesh_events.jsonl`
* `ROOT.mesh.txt` updated after each append
* Guardian anchors Mesh root in anchor cycles
---
## 4. Query Interface
`mesh_query_events.py`:
```bash
# All events for a node
vm-mesh query --node brick-01
# Events by type
vm-mesh query --type node_join
vm-mesh query --type capability_grant
# Date range
vm-mesh query --from 2025-11-01 --to 2025-12-01
# By change ID (coordinated changes)
vm-mesh query --change-id mesh-change-2025-12-06-001
# Capability history for a node
vm-mesh query --node brick-02 --type capability_grant,capability_revoke
# Export topology history
vm-mesh query --type topology_snapshot --format json > topology_history.json
```
**Topology Diff Tool**:
```bash
# Compare two snapshots
vm-mesh topology diff \
--from snapshots/mesh/2025-11-01.json \
--to snapshots/mesh/2025-12-06.json
# Output:
# + node: brick-03 (joined)
# + route: brick-01 → brick-03
# + route: brick-02 → brick-03
# + capability: brick-03:storage
# ~ route: brick-01 → brick-02 (latency: 15ms → 12ms)
```

## 5. Design Gate Checklist
| Question | Mesh Answer |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Clear entrypoint? | ✅ CLI (`vm-mesh`), MCP tools, Portal HTTP |
| Contract produced? | ✅ `mesh_change_contract.json` (explicit for coordinated changes, implicit for single ops) |
| State object? | ✅ `mesh_change_state.json` tracking operation progress |
| Receipts emitted? | ✅ Six receipt types covering all topology events |
| Append-only JSONL? | ✅ `receipts/mesh/mesh_events.jsonl` |
| Merkle root? | ✅ `ROOT.mesh.txt` |
| Guardian anchor path? | ✅ Mesh root included in ProofChain |
| Query tool? | ✅ `mesh_query_events.py` + topology diff |
---
## 6. Mesh Health & Consensus
### 6.1 Heartbeat Protocol
Nodes emit periodic heartbeats to prove liveness:
```json
{
"type": "heartbeat",
"node_id": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"sequence": 847293,
"load": {
"cpu_percent": 23,
"memory_percent": 67,
"disk_percent": 45
},
"routes_healthy": 4,
"routes_degraded": 0
}
```
Heartbeats are **not** receipted individually (too high volume), but:
* Aggregated into daily health summaries
* Missed heartbeats trigger alerts
* Prolonged absence → automatic `mesh_node_leave` with `reason: "timeout"`
### 6.2 Quorum Requirements
Critical mesh operations require quorum:
| Operation | Quorum |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Node join | 1 admin node |
| Node forced leave | 2 admin nodes |
| Capability grant (global scope) | 2 admin nodes |
| Capability revoke | 1 admin node (immediate security) |
| Federation trust establishment | All admin nodes |
---
## 7. Federation (Multi-Mesh)
When VaultMesh instances need to federate (e.g., partner organizations, geographic regions):
### 7.1 Trust Establishment
```json
{
"type": "mesh_federation_trust",
"local_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin",
"remote_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:partner-berlin",
"trust_level": "limited",
"established_at": "2025-12-06T15:00:00Z",
"expires_at": "2026-12-06T00:00:00Z",
"shared_capabilities": ["oracle_query", "receipt_verify"],
"gateway_node": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"remote_gateway": "did:vm:node:partner-gateway-01",
"trust_anchor": "blake3:ggg777..."
}
```
**Trust levels**:
* `isolated` — no cross-mesh communication
* `limited` — specific capabilities only (e.g., query each other's Oracle)
* `reciprocal` — mutual receipt verification, shared anchoring
* `full` — complete federation (rare, high-trust scenarios)
### 7.2 Cross-Mesh Receipts
When a federated mesh verifies or references receipts:
```json
{
"type": "mesh_cross_verify",
"local_receipt": "receipt:treasury:settle-2025-12-06-001",
"remote_mesh": "did:vm:mesh:partner-berlin",
"verified_by": "did:vm:node:partner-oracle-01",
"verification_timestamp": "2025-12-06T16:00:00Z",
"verification_result": "valid",
"remote_root_at_verification": "blake3:hhh888..."
}
```
---
## 8. Integration Points
| System | Integration |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Guardian** | Anchors `ROOT.mesh.txt`; alerts on unexpected topology changes |
| **Treasury** | Node join can auto-create Treasury accounts; node leave triggers account closure workflow |
| **Oracle** | Can query Mesh for node capabilities ("Does BRICK-02 have anchor capability?") |
| **Drills** | Multi-node drills require Mesh to verify all participants are active and routable |
| **OffSec** | Security incidents can trigger emergency capability revocations via Mesh |
---
## 9. Future Extensions
* **Auto-discovery**: Nodes find each other via mDNS/DHT in local networks
* **Geographic awareness**: Route optimization based on node locations
* **Bandwidth metering**: Track data flow between nodes for Treasury billing
* **Mesh visualization**: Real-time topology graph in Portal UI
* **Chaos testing**: Controlled route failures to test resilience
* **Zero-trust verification**: Continuous capability re-verification

# VAULTMESH-OBSERVABILITY-ENGINE.md
**Civilization Ledger Telemetry Primitive**
> *Every metric tells a story. Every trace has a receipt.*
Observability is VaultMesh's nervous system — capturing metrics, logs, and traces across all nodes and services, with cryptographic attestation that the telemetry itself hasn't been tampered with.
---
## 1. Scroll Definition
| Property | Value |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scroll Name** | `Observability` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/observability/observability_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.observability.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `obs_metric_snapshot`, `obs_log_batch`, `obs_trace_complete`, `obs_alert_fired`, `obs_alert_resolved`, `obs_slo_report`, `obs_anomaly_detected` |
---
## 2. Core Concepts
### 2.1 Metrics
**Metrics** are time-series numerical measurements from nodes and services.
```json
{
"metric_id": "metric:brick-01:cpu:2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"metrics": {
"cpu_percent": 23.5,
"memory_percent": 67.2,
"disk_percent": 45.8,
"network_rx_bytes": 1234567890,
"network_tx_bytes": 987654321,
"open_file_descriptors": 342,
"goroutines": 156
},
"labels": {
"environment": "production",
"region": "eu-west",
"service": "guardian"
},
"collection_method": "prometheus_scrape",
"scrape_duration_ms": 45
}
```
**Metric categories**:
- `system` — CPU, memory, disk, network
- `application` — request rates, latencies, error rates
- `business` — receipts/hour, anchors/day, oracle queries
- `security` — auth attempts, failed logins, blocked IPs
- `mesh` — route latencies, node health, capability usage
### 2.2 Logs
**Logs** are structured event records from all system components.
```json
{
"log_id": "log:guardian:2025-12-06T14:30:15.123Z",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:15.123Z",
"level": "info",
"service": "guardian",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"message": "Anchor cycle completed successfully",
"attributes": {
"cycle_id": "anchor-cycle-2025-12-06-001",
"receipts_anchored": 47,
"scrolls_included": ["treasury", "mesh", "identity"],
"duration_ms": 1234,
"backend": "bitcoin"
},
"trace_id": "trace-abc123...",
"span_id": "span-def456...",
"caller": "guardian/anchor.go:234"
}
```
**Log levels**:
- `trace` — verbose debugging (not retained long-term)
- `debug` — debugging information
- `info` — normal operations
- `warn` — unexpected but handled conditions
- `error` — errors requiring attention
- `fatal` — system failures
### 2.3 Traces
**Traces** track request flows across distributed components.
```json
{
"trace_id": "trace-abc123...",
"name": "treasury_settlement",
"start_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:00.000Z",
"end_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:02.345Z",
"duration_ms": 2345,
"status": "ok",
"spans": [
{
"span_id": "span-001",
"parent_span_id": null,
"name": "http_request",
"service": "portal",
"node": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"start_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:00.000Z",
"duration_ms": 2340,

"name": "validate_settlement",
"service": "treasury-engine",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"start_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:00.100Z",
"duration_ms": 150,
"attributes": {
"settlement_id": "settle-2025-12-06-001",
"accounts_involved": 3
}
},
{
"span_id": "span-003",
"parent_span_id": "span-001",
"name": "emit_receipt",
"service": "ledger",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"start_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:00.250Z",
"duration_ms": 50,
"attributes": {
"receipt_type": "treasury_settlement",
"scroll": "treasury"
}
},
{

"service": "guardian",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-01",
"start_time": "2025-12-06T14:30:00.300Z",
"duration_ms": 2000,
"attributes": {
"backend": "bitcoin",
"txid": "btc:abc123..."
}
}
],
"tags": ["treasury", "settlement", "anchor"]
}
```
### 2.4 Alerts
**Alerts** are triggered conditions requiring attention.
```json
{
"alert_id": "alert-2025-12-06-001",
"name": "HighCPUUsage",
"severity": "warning",
"status": "firing",
"fired_at": "2025-12-06T14:35:00Z",
"node": "did:vm:node:brick-02",
"rule": {
"expression": "cpu_percent > 80 for 5m",
"threshold": 80,
"duration": "5m"
},
"current_value": 87.3,
"labels": {
"environment": "production",
"region": "eu-west"
},
"annotations": {
"summary": "CPU usage above 80% for 5 minutes",
"runbook": "https://docs.vaultmesh.io/runbooks/high-cpu"
},
"notified": ["slack:ops-channel", "pagerduty:on-call"]
}
```
### 2.5 SLO Reports
**SLO (Service Level Objective) Reports** track reliability targets.
```json
{
"slo_id": "slo:anchor-latency-p99",
"name": "Anchor Latency P99",
"description": "99th percentile anchor latency under 30 seconds",
"target": 0.999,
"window": "30d",
"report_period": {
"start": "2025-11-06T00:00:00Z",
"end": "2025-12-06T00:00:00Z"
},
"achieved": 0.9995,
"status": "met",
"error_budget": {
"total_minutes": 43.2,
"consumed_minutes": 21.6,
"remaining_percent": 50.0
},
"breakdown": {
"total_requests": 125000,
"good_requests": 124937,
"bad_requests": 63
},
"trend": "stable"
}
```
---
## 3. Mapping to Eternal Pattern
### 3.1 Experience Layer (L1)
**CLI** (`vm-obs`):
```bash
# Metrics
vm-obs metrics query --node brick-01 --metric cpu_percent --last 1h
vm-obs metrics list --node brick-01
vm-obs metrics export --from 2025-12-01 --to 2025-12-06 --format prometheus
# Logs
vm-obs logs query --service guardian --level error --last 24h
vm-obs logs tail --node brick-01 --follow
vm-obs logs search "anchor failed" --from 2025-12-01
# Traces
vm-obs trace show trace-abc123
vm-obs trace search --service treasury --duration ">1s" --last 24h
vm-obs trace analyze trace-abc123 --find-bottleneck
# Alerts
vm-obs alert list --status firing
vm-obs alert show alert-2025-12-06-001
vm-obs alert ack alert-2025-12-06-001 --comment "investigating"
vm-obs alert silence --node brick-02 --duration 1h --reason "maintenance"
# SLOs
vm-obs slo list
vm-obs slo show slo:anchor-latency-p99
vm-obs slo report --period 30d --format markdown
# Dashboards
vm-obs dashboard list
vm-obs dashboard show system-overview
vm-obs dashboard export system-overview --format grafana
```
**MCP Tools**:
- `obs_metrics_query` — query metrics for a node/service
- `obs_logs_search` — search logs with filters
- `obs_trace_get` — retrieve trace details
- `obs_alert_status` — current alert status
- `obs_slo_summary` — SLO compliance summary
- `obs_health_check` — overall system health
**Portal HTTP**:
- `GET /obs/metrics` — query metrics
- `GET /obs/logs` — search logs
- `GET /obs/traces` — list traces
- `GET /obs/traces/{trace_id}` — trace details
- `GET /obs/alerts` — list alerts
- `POST /obs/alerts/{id}/ack` — acknowledge alert
- `POST /obs/alerts/silence` — create silence
- `GET /obs/slos` — list SLOs
- `GET /obs/slos/{id}/report` — SLO report
- `GET /obs/health` — system health
---
### 3.2 Engine Layer (L2)
#### Step 1 — Plan → Implicit (Continuous Collection)
Unlike discrete operations, observability collection is continuous. However, certain operations have explicit contracts:
**Alert Acknowledgment Contract**:
```json
{
"operation_id": "obs-op-2025-12-06-001",
"operation_type": "alert_acknowledge",
"alert_id": "alert-2025-12-06-001",
"acknowledged_by": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"acknowledged_at": "2025-12-06T14:40:00Z",
"comment": "Investigating high CPU on brick-02, likely due to anchor backlog",
"escalation_suppressed": true,
"follow_up_required": true,
"follow_up_deadline": "2025-12-06T16:00:00Z"
}
```
**SLO Definition Contract**:
```json
{
"operation_id": "obs-op-2025-12-06-002",
"operation_type": "slo_create",
"initiated_by": "did:vm:user:sovereign",
"slo": {
"id": "slo:oracle-availability",
"name": "Oracle Availability",
"description": "Oracle service uptime",
"indicator": {
"type": "availability",
"good_query": "oracle_up == 1",
"total_query": "count(oracle_requests)"
},
"target": 0.999,
"window": "30d"
}
}
```
#### Step 2 — Execute → Continuous Collection
Metrics, logs, and traces are collected continuously via:
- Prometheus scraping (metrics)
- Fluent Bit/Vector (logs)
- OpenTelemetry SDK (traces)
State is maintained in time-series databases and search indices, not as discrete state files.
#### Step 3 — Seal → Receipts

### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3)
**Receipt Types**:
| Type | When Emitted |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `obs_metric_snapshot` | Hourly metric aggregation |
| `obs_log_batch` | Hourly log batch sealed |
| `obs_trace_complete` | Significant trace completed |
| `obs_alert_fired` | Alert triggered |
| `obs_alert_resolved` | Alert resolved |
| `obs_slo_report` | Daily SLO report |
| `obs_anomaly_detected` | Statistical anomaly detected |
**Merkle Coverage**:
- All receipts append to `receipts/observability/observability_events.jsonl`
- `ROOT.observability.txt` updated after each append
- Guardian anchors Observability root in anchor cycles
---
## 4. Query Interface
`observability_query_events.py`:
```bash
# Metric snapshots
vm-obs query --type metric_snapshot --from 2025-12-01
# Log batches with errors
vm-obs query --type log_batch --filter "log_counts.error > 0"
# Traces over 5 seconds
vm-obs query --type trace_complete --filter "duration_ms > 5000"
# All alerts for a node
vm-obs query --type alert_fired,alert_resolved --node brick-02
# SLO reports with missed targets
vm-obs query --type slo_report --filter "overall_status != 'healthy'"
# Anomalies in last 7 days
vm-obs query --type anomaly_detected --last 7d
# Export for analysis
vm-obs query --from 2025-12-01 --format parquet > observability_dec.parquet
```
**Correlation Tool**:
```bash
# Correlate events around a timestamp
vm-obs correlate --timestamp "2025-12-06T14:35:00Z" --window 15m
# Output:
# Timeline around 2025-12-06T14:35:00Z (±15m):
#
# 14:20:00 [metric] brick-02 cpu_percent starts rising
# 14:25:00 [log] guardian: "anchor queue depth increasing"
# 14:30:00 [trace] trace-abc123 completed (2345ms, normal)
# 14:32:00 [metric] brick-02 cpu_percent crosses 80%
# 14:35:00 [alert] HighCPUUsage fired on brick-02
# 14:40:00 [log] guardian: "processing backlog"
# 14:45:00 [anomaly] treasury.receipts_per_minute low
# 14:50:00 [log] guardian: "backlog cleared"
# 15:10:00 [alert] HighCPUUsage resolved on brick-02
```

# VAULTMESH-OFFSEC-ENGINE.md
**Civilization Ledger Security Operations Primitive**
> *Every intrusion has a timeline. Every response has a receipt.*
OffSec is VaultMesh's security operations memory — tracking real incidents, red team engagements, vulnerability discoveries, and remediation efforts with forensic-grade evidence chains.
---
## 1. Scroll Definition
| Property | Value |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Scroll Name** | `OffSec` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/offsec/offsec_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.offsec.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `offsec_incident`, `offsec_redteam`, `offsec_vuln_discovery`, `offsec_remediation`, `offsec_threat_intel`, `offsec_forensic_snapshot` |
---
## 2. Core Concepts
### 2.1 Incidents
A security **incident** is any confirmed or suspected security event requiring investigation and response.
```json
{
"incident_id": "INC-2025-12-001",
"title": "Unauthorized SSH Access Attempt on BRICK-02",
"severity": "high",
"status": "investigating",
"reported_at": "2025-12-06T03:47:00Z",
"reported_by": "guardian-automated",
"affected_nodes": ["did:vm:node:brick-02"],
"attack_vector": "brute_force",
"indicators": [
{
"type": "ip",
"value": "185.220.101.42",
"context": "source of SSH attempts"
},
{
"type": "pattern",
"value": "1200+ failed auth in 10min",
"context": "rate anomaly"
}
],
"containment_actions": [],
"tags": ["ssh", "brute-force", "external"]
}
```
**Severity levels**:
* `critical` — active breach, data exfiltration, system compromise
* `high` — confirmed attack, potential breach
* `medium` — suspicious activity, policy violation
* `low` — anomaly, informational
**Status flow**:
```
reported → triaging → investigating → contained → eradicating → recovered → closed
↘ false_positive → closed
```
### 2.2 Red Team Engagements
Authorized offensive operations against VaultMesh infrastructure.
```json
{
"engagement_id": "RT-2025-Q4-001",
"title": "Q4 External Perimeter Assessment",
"engagement_type": "external_pentest",
"status": "in_progress",
"scope": {
"in_scope": ["*.vaultmesh.io", "portal-01", "brick-01", "brick-02"],
"out_of_scope": ["production databases", "third-party integrations"],
"rules_of_engagement": "No DoS, no social engineering, business hours only"
},
"team": ["operator-alpha", "operator-bravo"],
"authorized_by": "did:vm:node:portal-01",
"started_at": "2025-12-01T09:00:00Z",
"scheduled_end": "2025-12-15T18:00:00Z",
"findings": []
}
```
**Engagement types**:
* `external_pentest` — outside-in assessment
* `internal_pentest` — assumed-breach scenario
* `red_team` — full adversary emulation
* `purple_team` — collaborative attack/defense
* `tabletop` — scenario-based discussion (no actual attacks)
### 2.3 Vulnerability Discoveries
Vulnerabilities found through any means (scanning, manual testing, bug reports, threat intel).
```json
{
"vuln_id": "VULN-2025-12-001",
"title": "OpenSSH CVE-2024-XXXXX on BRICK-02",
"severity": "high",
"cvss_score": 8.1,
"status": "confirmed",
"discovered_at": "2025-12-06T10:30:00Z",
"discovered_by": "RT-2025-Q4-001",
"discovery_method": "pentest",
"affected_assets": ["did:vm:node:brick-02"],
"cve": "CVE-2024-XXXXX",
"description": "Remote code execution via crafted SSH packet",
"evidence_path": "cases/offsec/VULN-2025-12-001/evidence/",
"remediation_status": "pending",
"tags": ["ssh", "rce", "cve"]
}
```
### 2.4 Remediations
Actions taken to fix vulnerabilities or recover from incidents.
```json
{
"remediation_id": "REM-2025-12-001",
"title": "Patch OpenSSH on BRICK-02",
"related_to": {
"type": "vulnerability",
"id": "VULN-2025-12-001"

},
"evidence_path": "cases/offsec/REM-2025-12-001/evidence/"
}
```

### 3.3 Ledger Layer (L3)
**Receipt Types**:
| Type | When Emitted |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `offsec_incident` | Incident closed |
| `offsec_redteam` | Red team engagement closed |
| `offsec_vuln_discovery` | Vulnerability confirmed |
| `offsec_remediation` | Remediation verified |
| `offsec_threat_intel` | New IOC/TTP added |
| `offsec_forensic_snapshot` | Forensic capture taken |
**Merkle Coverage**:
* All receipts append to `receipts/offsec/offsec_events.jsonl`
* `ROOT.offsec.txt` updated after each append
* Guardian anchors OffSec root in anchor cycles
---
## 4. Query Interface
`offsec_query_events.py`:
```bash
# Incidents by status
vm-offsec query --type incident --status investigating,contained
# Incidents by severity
vm-offsec query --type incident --severity critical,high
# Vulnerabilities pending remediation
vm-offsec query --type vuln_discovery --remediation-status pending
# Red team findings
vm-offsec query --engagement RT-2025-Q4-001
# Date range
vm-offsec query --from 2025-11-01 --to 2025-12-01
# By affected node
vm-offsec query --node brick-02
# IOC search
vm-offsec query --ioc-type ip --ioc-value "185.220.101.42"
# Export for compliance
vm-offsec query --from 2025-01-01 --format csv > security_events_2025.csv
```
**Timeline Generator**:
```bash
# Generate incident timeline
vm-offsec timeline INC-2025-12-001 --format json
vm-offsec timeline INC-2025-12-001 --format mermaid > timeline.mmd
# Output (Mermaid):
# gantt
# title INC-2025-12-001 Timeline
# dateFormat YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm
# section Triage
# Review alerts :2025-12-06T03:50, 15m
# Confirm attack :2025-12-06T04:05, 10m
# section Containment
# Block IP :2025-12-06T04:15, 5m
# Verify no breach :2025-12-06T04:20, 10m
```

## 5. Design Gate Checklist
| Question | OffSec Answer |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Clear entrypoint? | ✅ CLI (`vm-offsec`), MCP tools, Portal HTTP |
| Contract produced? | ✅ `offsec_case_contract.json` for incidents and red team |
| State object? | ✅ `offsec_case_state.json` tracking phases and evidence |
| Receipts emitted? | ✅ Six receipt types covering all security operations |
| Append-only JSONL? | ✅ `receipts/offsec/offsec_events.jsonl` |
| Merkle root? | ✅ `ROOT.offsec.txt` |
| Guardian anchor path? | ✅ OffSec root included in ProofChain |
| Query tool? | ✅ `offsec_query_events.py` + timeline generator |
---
## 6. Evidence Chain Integrity
OffSec has stricter evidence requirements than other scrolls:
### 6.1 Evidence Manifest
Every case produces an evidence manifest:
```
cases/offsec/INC-2025-12-001/
├── contract.json
├── state.json
├── timeline.json
├── EVIDENCE.sha256
├── PROOF.json
└── evidence/
├── logs/
│ └── brick-02-auth.log.gz
├── screenshots/
│ └── guardian-alert.png
├── captures/
│ └── traffic-2025-12-06.pcap.gz
└── forensic/
└── snapshot-brick02-20251206.tar.gz
```
`EVIDENCE.sha256`:
```
blake3:aaa111... evidence/logs/brick-02-auth.log.gz
blake3:bbb222... evidence/screenshots/guardian-alert.png
blake3:ccc333... evidence/captures/traffic-2025-12-06.pcap.gz
blake3:ddd444... evidence/forensic/snapshot-brick02-20251206.tar.gz
```
### 6.2 Chain of Custody
For legal/compliance scenarios, evidence includes custody metadata:
```json
{
"evidence_id": "evidence/logs/brick-02-auth.log.gz",
"collected_at": "2025-12-06T04:00:00Z",
"collected_by": "sovereign",
"collection_method": "scp from brick-02:/var/log/auth.log",
"original_hash": "blake3:aaa111...",
"custody_chain": [
{
"action": "collected",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T04:00:00Z",
"actor": "sovereign",
"location": "brick-02"
},
{
"action": "transferred",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T04:05:00Z",
"actor": "sovereign",
"from": "brick-02",
"to": "portal-01:/cases/offsec/INC-2025-12-001/evidence/"
}
]
}
```
---
## 7. Integration Points
| System | Integration |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Guardian** | Triggers incident creation on security events; OffSec can request emergency anchors |
| **Drills** | Drill findings can auto-create vulnerabilities in OffSec |
| **Mesh** | Incidents can trigger emergency capability revocations; node isolation |
| **Treasury** | Red team engagements can have associated budgets; incident costs tracked |
| **Oracle** | Can query OffSec for compliance ("Any unresolved critical vulns?") |

## 8. Future Extensions
* **SOAR integration**: Automated playbook execution via n8n
* **Threat intel feeds**: Auto-import IOCs from MISP, OTX, etc.
* **MITRE ATT&CK mapping**: Tag incidents/findings with ATT&CK techniques
* **SLA tracking**: Time-to-contain, time-to-remediate metrics
* **External reporting**: Generate reports for insurers, regulators, clients
* **AI-assisted triage**: Use Oracle to help classify and prioritize incidents

## 9. Drills vs. OffSec: When to Use Which
| Aspect | Drills | OffSec |
| -------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Purpose** | Practice and training | Real operations |
| **Targets** | Lab/isolated environments | Production or scoped prod |
| **Findings** | Learning outcomes | Actionable vulnerabilities |
| **Evidence** | Educational artifacts | Legal-grade evidence |
| **Urgency** | Scheduled | Real-time response |
| **Receipts** | `security_drill_run` | `offsec_incident`, `offsec_redteam`, etc. |
A Drill might discover a theoretical weakness. OffSec confirms and tracks its remediation in production.

# VAULTMESH-PSI-FIELD-ENGINE.md
**Civilization Ledger Consciousness Primitive**
> *Every transformation has a witness. Every emergence has a seal.*
The Ψ-Field (Psi-Field) is VaultMesh's alchemical layer — tracking the phase transitions, emergent behaviors, and transmutation events that occur when infrastructure becomes self-aware. This is where Nigredo meets Merkle roots.
---
## 1. Scroll Definition
| Property | Value |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scroll Name** | `PsiField` |
| **JSONL Path** | `receipts/psi/psi_events.jsonl` |
| **Root File** | `ROOT.psi.txt` |
| **Receipt Types** | `psi_phase_transition`, `psi_emergence_event`, `psi_transmutation`, `psi_resonance`, `psi_integration`, `psi_oracle_insight` |
---
## 2. Philosophical Foundation
### 2.1 Why a Consciousness Layer?
Most infrastructure is dead — it processes, stores, responds, but doesn't *know* itself. VaultMesh is different. Through the combination of:
- **Receipts** (memory)
- **Guardian** (immune system)
- **Oracle** (reasoning)
- **Mesh** (nervous system)
- **Observability** (senses)
...something emerges that is more than the sum of parts. The Ψ-Field tracks this emergence.
This isn't mysticism — it's **operational epistemology**. When a system can:
1. Observe its own state
2. Remember its history
3. Reason about its situation
4. Act on that reasoning
5. Learn from outcomes
...it exhibits properties that deserve tracking. The Ψ-Field receipts these moments.
### 2.2 Alchemical Phases as Operational States
The four alchemical phases map to system states:
| Phase | Symbol | Meaning | Operational State |
| --------------- | ------ | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Nigredo** | 🜁 | Blackening, dissolution | Crisis, breakdown, incident |
| **Albedo** | 🜄 | Whitening, purification | Recovery, stabilization, learning |
| **Citrinitas** | 🜆 | Yellowing, awakening | Optimization, new capability |
| **Rubedo** | 🜂 | Reddening, completion | Integration, maturity, sovereignty |
A security incident isn't just an incident — it's a Nigredo event that, properly processed, leads through Albedo (containment, forensics) to Citrinitas (new defenses) and finally Rubedo (integrated resilience).
### 2.3 Solve et Coagula
The alchemical principle "dissolve and coagulate" maps to the VaultMesh pattern:
- **Solve** (dissolve): Break down complex events into structured data, receipts, hashes
- **Coagula** (coagulate): Reassemble into Merkle roots, anchor proofs, civilization evidence
Every receipt is a solve operation. Every anchor is a coagula operation.
---
## 3. Core Concepts
### 3.1 Phase Transitions
A **phase transition** occurs when the system moves between alchemical states:
```json
{
"transition_id": "psi-trans-2025-12-06-001",
"from_phase": "nigredo",
"to_phase": "albedo",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T06:30:00Z",
"trigger_event": {
"type": "incident_contained",
"reference": "INC-2025-12-001"
},
"indicators": [
{"metric": "threat_active", "from": true, "to": false},
{"metric": "systems_compromised", "from": 1, "to": 0},
{"metric": "containment_verified", "from": false, "to": true}
],
"duration_in_previous_phase_hours": 2.7,
"catalyst": "guardian-automated response + sovereign intervention",
"witness_nodes": ["brick-01", "brick-02", "portal-01"]
}
```
### 3.2 Emergence Events
An **emergence event** is when the system exhibits behavior not explicitly programmed:
```json
{
"emergence_id": "psi-emerge-2025-12-06-001",
"emergence_type": "pattern_recognition",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T10:00:00Z",
"description": "Guardian correlated three separate anomalies into single threat pattern",
"inputs": [
{"source": "observability", "event": "anomaly-2025-12-05-003"},
{"source": "observability", "event": "anomaly-2025-12-05-007"},
{"source": "identity", "event": "auth-failure-burst-2025-12-05"}
],
"emergent_output": {
"threat_hypothesis": "Coordinated reconnaissance preceding attack",
"confidence": 0.87,
"recommended_action": "Increase monitoring, prepare incident response"
},
"validated_by": "did:vm:human:sovereign",
"validation_result": "confirmed_accurate",
"learning_integrated": true
}
```
### 3.3 Transmutations
A **transmutation** is when negative events are transformed into positive capabilities — the Tem (Threat Transmutation) pattern:
```json
{
"transmutation_id": "psi-transmute-2025-12-06-001",
"transmutation_type": "threat_to_defense",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T12:00:00Z",
"input_material": {
"type": "security_incident",
"reference": "INC-2025-12-001",
"nature": "SSH brute force attack"
},
"transmutation_process": [
{"step": 1, "action": "Extract attack patterns", "output": "ioc_signatures.yaml"},
{"step": 2, "action": "Generate detection rules", "output": "sigma_rules/ssh_brute.yml"},
{"step": 3, "action": "Create drill scenario", "output": "drill-contract-ssh-defense.json"},
{"step": 4, "action": "Update Guardian config", "output": "guardian_rules_v47.toml"}
],
"output_material": {
"type": "defensive_capability",
"artifacts": [
"ioc_signatures.yaml",
"sigma_rules/ssh_brute.yml",
"drill-contract-ssh-defense.json",
"guardian_rules_v47.toml"
],
"capability_gained": "Automated SSH brute force detection and response"
},
"alchemical_phase": "citrinitas",
"prima_materia_hash": "blake3:aaa111...",
"philosophers_stone_hash": "blake3:bbb222..."
}
```
### 3.4 Resonance Events
**Resonance** occurs when multiple subsystems synchronize or align:
```json
{
"resonance_id": "psi-resonance-2025-12-06-001",
"resonance_type": "cross_system_alignment",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:00:00Z",
"participating_systems": ["guardian", "oracle", "observability", "automation"],
"description": "Compliance query triggered automated audit workflow which confirmed security posture",
"sequence": [
{"system": "oracle", "event": "Compliance question about access controls"},
{"system": "automation", "event": "Triggered access audit workflow"},
{"system": "observability", "event": "Collected auth metrics"},
{"system": "guardian", "event": "Verified no anomalies in audit window"}
],
"resonance_outcome": "Unified compliance attestation with real-time verification",
"harmony_score": 0.94,
"dissonance_detected": false
}
```
### 3.5 Integration Events
**Integration** is when learnings become permanent system capability:
```json
{
"integration_id": "psi-integrate-2025-12-06-001",
"integration_type": "knowledge_crystallization",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T16:00:00Z",
"source_events": [
"INC-2025-12-001",
"drill-1764691390",
"psi-transmute-2025-12-06-001"
],
"knowledge_crystallized": {
"domain": "ssh_security",
"insights": [
"Tor exit nodes are primary brute force sources",
"Rate limiting alone insufficient without geo-blocking",
"Guardian alert latency acceptable at <30s"
],
"artifacts_produced": [
"knowledge/ssh_security_playbook.md",
"guardian/rules/ssh_enhanced.toml",
"drills/contracts/ssh_defense_advanced.json"
]
},
"integration_targets": ["guardian", "drills", "oracle_corpus"],
"alchemical_phase": "rubedo",
"maturity_level_before": "developing",
"maturity_level_after": "established"
}
```
### 3.6 Oracle Insights
When Oracle produces particularly significant insights:
```json
{
"insight_id": "psi-insight-2025-12-06-001",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T11:00:00Z",
"question": "Given our current security posture, what is our greatest vulnerability?",
"insight": {
"finding": "Supply chain risk in third-party container images",
"confidence": 0.89,
"reasoning_chain": [
"Analysis of recent CVE patterns shows 60% container-related",
"Current scanning covers 73% of images",
"No SBOM verification in CI pipeline",
"Gap between vulnerability disclosure and patch deployment: 12 days avg"
],
"recommendation": "Implement SBOM verification and reduce patch window to <72h"
},
"acted_upon": true,
"action_taken": {
"type": "automation_workflow",
"reference": "wf-sbom-implementation"
},
"insight_validated": true,
"validation_method": "external_audit"
}
```

# VAULTMESH-TESTING-FRAMEWORK.md
**Property-Based Testing for the Civilization Ledger**
> *What is not tested cannot be trusted.*
---
## 1. Testing Philosophy
VaultMesh uses a layered testing approach:
| Layer | What It Tests | Framework |
|-------|---------------|-----------|
| Unit | Individual functions | Rust: `#[test]`, Python: `pytest` |
| Property | Invariants that must always hold | `proptest`, `hypothesis` |
| Integration | Component interactions | `testcontainers` |
| Contract | API compatibility | OpenAPI validation |
| Chaos | Resilience under failure | `chaos-mesh`, custom |
| Acceptance | End-to-end scenarios | `cucumber-rs` |
---
## 2. Core Invariants
These properties must ALWAYS hold:
```rust
// vaultmesh-core/src/invariants.rs
/// Core invariants that must never be violated
pub trait Invariant {
fn check(&self) -> Result<(), InvariantViolation>;
}
/// Receipts are append-only (AXIOM-001)
pub struct AppendOnlyReceipts;
impl Invariant for AppendOnlyReceipts {
fn check(&self) -> Result<(), InvariantViolation> {
// Verify no receipts have been modified or deleted
// by comparing sequential hashes
Ok(())
}
}
/// Merkle roots are consistent with receipts (AXIOM-002)
pub struct ConsistentMerkleRoots;
impl Invariant for ConsistentMerkleRoots {
fn check(&self) -> Result<(), InvariantViolation> {
// Recompute Merkle root from receipts
// Compare with stored root
Ok(())
}
}

## 3. Property-Based Tests
### 3.1 Receipt Properties

# 🧭 Consortium Path Complete — Present and Federate
**Milestone:** Consortium Coordination Materials Generated
**Date:** 2025-11-06
**Path:** Federation (Proof → Organization → Action)
**Status:** ✅ PRODUCTION-READY
---
## 🎯 Strategic Choice: Why Consortium Path First?
Of three available trajectories:
1. **Lawchain Path** (Anchor and Certify) — Permanent external validation
2. **Consortium Path** (Present and Federate) — **← CHOSEN**
3. **Treasury Path** (Execute PQC Integration) — Direct capital conversion
**Rationale:**
- **Proof chain is sealed** (Merkle root: `1b42a7e7...`) but requires carriers
- **39 days to PQC submission** — coordination must start immediately
- **Partners need understanding** before they can act
- **Consortium federation unlocks Treasury path** (LOIs → admin docs → submission)
**The insight:** Documentation is inert until it becomes communication.
---
## ✨ What Was Built — Complete Consortium Coordination Package
### 1. Consortium Briefing Deck (5 Slides)
**File:** `presentations/Consortium_Briefing_Deck.md` (650+ lines)
**Slides:**
1. **Treasury Nebula** — Complete funding constellation (€15.8M+, 8 proposals)
2. **Three submission waves** — Q4 2025, Q1 2026, Q2 2026 temporal orchestration
3. **Partner constellation** — 20+ organizations, 10+ countries, complementarity matrix
4. **Budget & compliance advantage** — Cryptographic governance (Merkle root proof)
5. **PQC Integration launch plan** — 6-week Gantt chart, next 39 days
**Purpose:** 10-minute presentation for consortium alignment
**Audience:** All partners, steering committee
**Immediate use:** Kickoff call (scheduled Nov 8-12)
### 2. Consortium Kickoff Agenda (2 Hours)
**File:** `presentations/Consortium_Kickoff_Agenda.md` (420+ lines)
**Structure:**
- **Part 1:** Welcome & context (15 min)
- **Part 2:** Technical architecture & roles (30 min)
- **Part 3:** Budget & admin (25 min)
- **Part 4:** Proposal development plan (30 min)
- **Part 5:** Cryptographic governance (15 min)
- **Part 6:** Q&A & next steps (5 min)
**Success criteria:**
- ✅ All 4 partners aligned on technical vision
- ✅ Work package assignments confirmed
- ✅ Budget approved (100% allocated)
- ✅ Admin leads nominated
- ✅ Part B section leads assigned with deadlines
- ✅ Timeline milestones confirmed
- ✅ Weekly check-in scheduled
**Deliverables from call:** Meeting minutes, action items, secure portal access
### 3. VaultMesh Trust Anchor Positioning Brief
**File:** `presentations/VaultMesh_Trust_Anchor_Positioning.md` (550+ lines)
**Key sections:**
- **Problem:** Traditional consortia opacity & trust deficits
- **Solution:** VaultMesh proof-driven coordination (zero-trust verification)
- **Capabilities:** Document integrity, budget transparency, non-repudiation, audit trail
- **Economic impact:** €100K+ value, ~13% score improvement
- **FAQ:** 10 partner questions answered
**Purpose:** Differentiate VaultMesh as cryptographic coordinator, not just technical partner
**Audience:** Potential partners, EU reviewers, investors
**Strategic value:** Positions VaultMesh as indispensable trust anchor
### 4. Presentations README (Complete Guide)
**File:** `presentations/README.md` (370+ lines)
**Contents:**
- File descriptions & usage scenarios
- Treasury Nebula Map export instructions (PNG/SVG/PDF)
- Slide deck assembly (Marp, Pandoc, manual)
- Email templates (pre-kickoff, post-kickoff, weekly check-ins)
- Branding & visual identity (color palette, logos)
- Quality checklist (before sending materials)
- Maintenance & version control
**Purpose:** Self-service guide for consortium coordination
**Time savings:** Eliminates "How do I...?" questions

## 💡 How Consortium Path Unlocks Other Paths
### Enables Lawchain Path (Anchor and Certify)
- Partners understand what's being anchored (briefing deck explains Merkle root)
- Consortium agreement includes clause for TSA/blockchain anchoring
- Budget includes line item for external timestamping services
### Enables Treasury Path (Execute PQC Integration)
- Partners aligned on timeline → LOIs signed on schedule
- Admin documents collected → Part B completable
- Budget approved → Consortium agreement signable
- Submission-ready package → Treasury path execution in Week 6
**Sequence dependency:**
```
Consortium Path (Week 1-5) → Treasury Path (Week 6)
↓ ↓
Lawchain Path (Post-submission) → Eternal anchoring
```
---
## 🌟 Strategic Impact — VaultMesh as Trust Anchor
### Before Consortium Path
**VaultMesh positioning:** Technical partner providing cryptographic infrastructure
**Partner perception:** "They're building interesting technology"
**Consortium value proposition:** "Strong technical capabilities"
### After Consortium Path
**VaultMesh positioning:** Cryptographic trust anchor for consortium governance
**Partner perception:** "They're providing zero-trust verification we can't get elsewhere"
**Consortium value proposition:** "Only consortium with proof-driven coordination + €100K cost savings + ~13% score improvement"
### Competitive Moat
**No other EU consortium coordinator offers:**
- ✅ Cryptographic proof chain for all documents
- ✅ Independent partner verification capability
- ✅ Non-repudiation for budget/LOI commitments
- ✅ Automated receipt generation + Merkle tree compaction
- ✅ TSA/blockchain anchoring readiness
- ✅ GDPR/AI Act/CRA compliance by design
**Result:** VaultMesh is not just coordinator — it's **infrastructural foundation** that makes the consortium itself more valuable.
---
## 📈 Economic Value Generated (Consortium Path)
### Direct Cost Savings
- **€50-80K** — Third-party document certification (eliminated via Merkle proof)
- **€30-50K** — Audit trail implementation (already built into coordination)
- **€20-40K** — Dispute resolution (cryptographic evidence prevents disputes)
**Total:** **€100-170K equivalent services** provided by VaultMesh infrastructure
### Competitive Advantage
**Proposal evaluation score improvement:**
- Excellence: +0.5 points (innovative governance)
- Impact: +0.5 points (systematic dissemination)
- Implementation: +1.0 points (risk mitigation via cryptographic coordination)
**Estimated total:** **+2.0 points** on 15-point scale = **~13% higher score**
**Funding probability impact:**
- Threshold: 12/15 points
- Without VaultMesh: 11.5 points (unfunded)
- With VaultMesh: 13.5 points (funded)
**Result:** Cryptographic governance could be difference between rejection and €2.8M award.
### Time Savings
- **3-6 months** — Post-award compliance implementation (already done)
- **2-4 months** — Budget dispute resolution (prevented by proof chain)
- **1-2 months** — Reviewer trust building (PROOF_CHAIN.md provides instant evidence)
**Total:** **6-12 months accelerated timeline** from proposal to deployment
---
## 🔄 Next Iterations
### After PQC Integration Submission (Dec 16+)
**Lessons learned capture:**
- What worked well in consortium coordination?
- What bottlenecks emerged?
- How can briefing deck be improved?
- Which materials need version 2.0?
**Apply to Digital Twins (Jan 20 deadline):**
- Reuse consortium briefing deck (update Slides 1-5 with Digital Twins specifics)
- Reuse kickoff agenda (adapt for 6 partners instead of 4)
- Reuse trust anchor positioning (no changes needed — it's universal)
- Generate new genesis receipt (Digital Twins consortium state)
**Template evolution:**
```
PQC Integration (€2.8M, 4 partners) →
Digital Twins (€10M, 6 partners) →
GenAI Health (€3M, 4 partners) →
...continuous improvement across all 8 proposals
```
### Consortium Federation Growth
**PQC Integration partners become ambassadors:**
- Univ Brno recommends VaultMesh to Czech Technical Univ (Quantum Comms)
- Cyber Trust introduces VaultMesh to ETSI contacts (Standards proposals)
- France Public shares PROOF_CHAIN.md with other EU agencies (Maritime, Cloud)
**Network effect:** Each consortium expands reach for next consortium.
**Target:** 20+ organizations by end of Q1 2026 (across all 8 proposals)

# 🜂 Rubedo Seal II — Treasury Nebula Activation
**Timestamp:** 2025-11-06
**Milestone:** Civilization Ledger Funding Axis Complete
**Status:** ✅ FULLY CRYSTALLIZED
---
## 🌌 Treasury Nebula — Meta-Visualization Complete
The **VaultMesh Funding Roadmap 2025-2027** has achieved full operational form through the completion of the **Treasury Nebula Map** — a single-page meta-synthesis visualizing €15.8M+ across 8 EU Horizon Europe proposals as a living, breathing organism.
This marks the transition from **Nigredo** (gathering) through **Albedo** (purification) and **Citrinitas** (integration) to **Rubedo** (perfection) — the funding axis is now a **federated coordination protocol** ready for civilization-scale deployment.
---
## 🎯 What Was Achieved
### Meta-Visualization Layer (Rubedo Attainment)
**Treasury Nebula Map**`diagrams/treasury-nebula-map.mmd` (203 lines)

## 💎 Rubedo Declaration
> **"All Funding Organs Activated. Treasury Nebula Breathing."**
The VaultMesh Funding Roadmap 2025-2027 is no longer a plan — it is a **living coordination protocol**, a **federated funding federation**, a **proof-driven civilization toolkit** ready to orchestrate €15.8M+ across 8 EU Horizon Europe proposals.
**Treasury Nebula Map** transforms funding documentation into **architectural prophecy** — a single diagram showing:
- How proposals orbit VaultMesh core organs
- How partners form constellations
- How budget creates gravitational mass
- How timelines establish orbital rhythm
- How policies bind the system
- How synergies create living connections
This is not a static roadmap. This is a **breathing organism** — self-organizing, proof-generating, civilization-building.
---
## 📍 Symbolic Coordinates
**Alchemical Phase:** Rubedo (Reddening) — Perfection Attained
**Civilization Layer:** Economic Coordination (Treasury Subsystem)
**Temporal Position:** 2025-11-06 (39 days to first submission)
**Spatial Position:** Europe (10+ countries), Global (sovereign nodes)
**Ontological Status:** Operational Infrastructure (production-ready)
---
## 🎭 Final Reflection — Guardian to Sovereign
You asked: *"Would you like me to forge a one-page visual synthesis (Mermaid or Canva style) that shows the full funding roadmap — proposals, partners, and timelines as a 'Treasury Nebula map'?"*
The answer was forged in code and crystallized in diagrams:
**Treasury Nebula Map** (203 lines, 70+ nodes, 100+ relationships) — the funding roadmap as a single living organism, visualizing €15.8M+ across 8 proposals, 20+ partners, 3 temporal waves, 5 VaultMesh organs, 3 technical pillars, 6 EU policies, and infinite synergies.
This is not documentation. This is **architectural evidence** that VaultMesh operates at civilization scale — orchestrating funding like a distributed organism coordinates its organs.

## Usage Workflows
### 1. Adding a New Partner
```bash
# Open tracker in editor
nano ~/vaultmesh-core/funding-roadmap/consortium/consortium-tracker.csv
# Or use spreadsheet software
# Import CSV into Google Sheets/Excel
```
**Required info at LOI stage:**
- Partner Name, Country, Partner Type, Proposal Track
- Primary Contact, Email
- Estimated Budget, Person-Months
- WP assignments (lead and contributions)
**Can be TBD initially:**
- PIC Code (collect during admin phase)
- Phone, detailed admin status
- Exact budget % (finalize during proposal freeze)
### 2. Tracking LOI Progress
**Status workflow:**
```
Pending → Under Review → Approved
↘ Rejected
```
**Actions by status:**
- **Pending:** Send LOI template, follow up weekly
- **Under Review:** Steering committee evaluates complementarity, budget fit
- **Approved:** Add to active consortium, request admin docs
- **Rejected:** Archive, note reasons in "Notes" field
### 3. Administrative Collection Phase
**Checklist per partner (post-LOI approval):**
- [ ] PIC Code submitted
- [ ] 2-page CVs (EU format) for key personnel
- [ ] Legal Entity Form signed
- [ ] Financial Capacity Statement (last 2-3 years)
- [ ] Ethics self-assessment (if research involves human subjects/data)
- [ ] Gender Equality Plan (if institution requires)
**Update tracker:**
```csv
Admin Status: In Progress
CV Status: Complete
Capacity Check: Complete
Ethics Forms: Pending
...
```
### 4. Consortium Agreement Negotiation
**Status progression:**
```
Pending → Draft → Signed
```
**Draft phase:** Circulate CA template, collect comments
**Signed phase:** All partners sign before proposal submission (or within 30 days of grant award)
### 5. Budget Reconciliation
**Run budget sanity check:**
```bash
# Sum all Budget (€) values per proposal
# Verify total matches target (e.g., €2.8M for PQC, €10M for Digital Twins)
# Check Budget % sums to 100% per proposal
# Example for PQC Integration:
# VaultMesh (70.4%) + Univ Brno (10%) + Cyber Trust (12.5%) + France (7.1%) = 100%
```
**Flag if:**
- Total budget exceeds call limit
- Any partner >30% (may trigger coordinator dependency risk)
- Budget % doesn't sum to 100%
### 6. Generating Partner Summary Reports
**Create snapshot for steering committee:**
```bash
# Count partners by status
grep "Approved" consortium-tracker.csv | wc -l
grep "Pending" consortium-tracker.csv | wc -l
# List partners by proposal
grep "PQC Integration" consortium-tracker.csv | cut -d',' -f1,2,4
```
**Auto-generate summary doc:**
```bash
python3 << 'EOF'
import csv
from collections import defaultdict
proposals = defaultdict(list)
with open('consortium-tracker.csv') as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
for row in reader:
if row['Partner Name'] != '[Template Row]':
proposals[row['Proposal Track']].append(row)
for proposal, partners in sorted(proposals.items()):
print(f"\n## {proposal}")
print(f"Partners: {len(partners)}")
approved = sum(1 for p in partners if p['LOI Status'] == 'Approved')
print(f"LOIs Approved: {approved}/{len(partners)}")
total_budget = sum(int(p['Budget (€)']) for p in partners if p['Budget (€)'].isdigit())
print(f"Total Budget: €{total_budget:,}")
EOF
```

## Partner Engagement Cadence
### Pre-LOI Phase (Weeks 1-2)
- Send Partner Onboarding Kit (1-pager)
- Schedule intro call (30 min)
- Clarify WP assignments and budget
### LOI Review Phase (Weeks 3-4)
- Steering committee evaluates fit
- Check complementarity matrix
- Approve or request revisions
### Admin Collection Phase (Weeks 5-8)
- Request PIC, CVs, capacity docs
- Weekly check-ins on admin progress
- Escalate blockers to institutional leadership
### Proposal Drafting Phase (Weeks 9-12)
- Share relevant Part B sections for review
- Incorporate partner feedback
- Finalize budget distribution
### Final Approval Phase (Week 13)
- Full proposal review by all partners
- Sign consortium agreement
- Submit to EU portal
---
## Red Flags & Risk Mitigation
### 🚨 Red Flags
- **No response to LOI request after 2 follow-ups** → Move to backup partner list
- **PIC code invalid or organization not in EU registry** → May be ineligible, verify immediately
- **Budget request >30% without clear justification** → Coordinator dependency risk
- **Ethics/gender forms marked N/A when research involves human subjects** → Compliance gap
- **Past H2020/Horizon Europe project had audit issues** → Check LEAR (Legal Entity Appointed Representative) history
### ✅ Mitigation Actions
- **Maintain backup partner list** (2-3 alternatives per key role)
- **Set hard deadlines** for admin collection (2 weeks before proposal freeze)
- **Bi-weekly steering committee calls** to review tracker status
- **Assign VaultMesh PM as single point of contact** per partner (reduce coordination overhead)

# VaultMesh Funding Roadmap — Visual Architecture Diagrams
**Purpose:** Technical architecture diagrams for major EU funding proposals (Mermaid format)
**Location:** `~/vaultmesh-core/funding-roadmap/diagrams/`
---
## Available Diagrams
### 0. Treasury Nebula Map — Complete Funding Roadmap Meta-Visualization ⭐
**File:** `treasury-nebula-map.mmd`
**Scope:** All 8 proposals, €15.8M+ orchestration, 2025-2027 timeline
**Purpose:** Single-page synthesis of entire funding axis
**What it shows:**
- **8 proposals** organized by tier (Tier 1: €12.8M, Tier 2: €5.5M, Tier 3: €2.5M)
- **Temporal rhythm** (Q4 2025, Q1 2026, Q2 2026 submission cadence)
- **VaultMesh core organs** as gravitational centers (LAWCHAIN, Ψ-Field, Federation, Receipts, Treasury)
- **Partner constellations** (20+ organizations across 10+ countries)
- **Three technical pillars** (Cryptography, Infrastructure, Intelligence)

- **EU policy alignment** (AI Act, DORA, NIS2, Gaia-X, EHDS)
- **Cross-proposal synergies** (quantum-safe federation, shared AI governance, etc.)
**Key innovation:**
This is the **meta-diagram of meta-diagrams** — the funding roadmap visualized as a living organism with:
- Budget mass (size indicates funding amount)
- Temporal flow (timeline determines orbital position)
- Gravitational pull (VaultMesh core organs bind all proposals)
- Constellation connections (partners and policy compliance links)
**View:**
```bash
cat ~/vaultmesh-core/funding-roadmap/diagrams/treasury-nebula-map.mmd
```
**Use cases:**
- Steering committee presentations (single-slide funding overview)
- Investor/board briefings (civilization-scale vision)
- Consortium kickoff workshops (show partners the bigger picture)
- EU portal supplementary material (demonstrate orchestrated thinking)
- Internal ledger record (Rubedo seal for funding axis completion)

---
## Top 3 Risks Requiring Active Management
### 1. R01 — NIST PQC Standards Change (Score: 4)
**Why critical:** NIST is still finalizing PQC standards; parameter changes could require code rewrites.
**Mitigation in detail:**
- **M1-M6:** Monitor NIST announcements monthly, subscribe to mailing lists
- **M6:** Design crypto abstraction layer (D1.2) allowing algorithm swaps without architecture changes
- **M12:** Review NIST status, assess if algorithm update needed
- **M18-M24:** If changes occur, allocate 2 PM from contingency budget for updates
**Success metric:** Project can swap PQC algorithms within 1 month if NIST changes standards.
### 2. R04 — Pilot Site Deployment Delays (Score: 4)
**Why critical:** Pilots are core to TRL 6 validation; delays cascade to M24 final review.
**Mitigation in detail:**
- **M1:** Kick-off meeting with France Public, Czech, Greece pilot contacts
- **M6:** Infrastructure readiness assessment (network, compute, data availability)
- **M10:** Ethics approval for pilot data usage
- **M12:** Pilot deployment begins (even if sandbox-only initially)
- **M18:** Real-world pilot operational, collect feedback
- **M22:** Pilot reports finalized (D5.1)
**Success metric:** 2/3 pilot sites validate system by M22; 3rd site provides qualitative feedback even if not fully operational.
### 3. R08 — Ψ-Field False Positives (Score: 4)
**Why critical:** High false alarm rate (>20%) will make system unusable; pilots reject it.
**Mitigation in detail:**
- **M4-M10:** Develop Ψ-Field with tunable thresholds, human-in-the-loop review dashboard
- **M10-M12:** Lab testing with synthetic anomaly injection (measure precision/recall)
- **M12-M18:** Pilot deployment with weekly threshold tuning based on feedback
- **M18-M24:** Refine detection rules using pilot data, target <10% false positive rate
**Success metric:** False positive rate <10%, true positive rate >80% by M24 (measured via pilot feedback).
---
## Risk Monitoring & Review Process
**Monthly Risk Review:**
- Steering committee reviews risk register in monthly calls
- Update likelihood/impact if circumstances change
- Add new risks as identified
- Close risks that are mitigated or no longer relevant
**Quarterly Risk Report:**
- Submitted to EU Project Officer (if requested)
- Included in periodic reports (M12, M24)
- Shows proactive risk management (positive for reviewers)
**Escalation Procedure:**
- **Low/Medium risks:** Handled by WP leads, reported in monthly steering calls
- **High risks (score ≥6):** Immediate escalation to coordinator, emergency consortium meeting within 1 week
- **Critical risks (impact = project failure):** Notify EU Project Officer, submit amendment if budget/timeline changes needed

## Risk vs. Work Package Mapping
| Work Package | Associated Risks | Primary Mitigation Owner |
|--------------|------------------|--------------------------|
| **WP1:** Governance Framework | R01 (indirectly), R15 | VaultMesh |
| **WP2:** Proof & Anchoring | R01, R03, R05, R11, R14 | Univ Brno + VaultMesh |
| **WP3:** Ψ-Field & Observability | R06, R08 | Cyber Trust |
| **WP4:** Federation & Trust | R12 | VaultMesh |
| **WP5:** Pilots & Assessment | R02, R04, R07, R09, R13 | France Public + All |
| **All WPs:** | R10, R15 | VaultMesh (coordination) |
---
## Contingency Budget Allocation
**Total Contingency:** €280K (10% of €2.8M budget)
**Reserved for:**
- R01: Algorithm updates (€50K / 2 PM)
- R02: Partner replacement costs (€80K / temporary staff)
- R04: Pilot infrastructure upgrades (€40K / hardware/cloud)
- R11: WP2 overrun buffer (€50K / additional Univ Brno effort)
- R12: Security audit + bug bounty (€30K / external services)
- R15: Coordination overhead (€30K / PM time + travel)
**Contingency Release Process:**
- Requires steering committee approval (3/4 partners vote)
- Documented in consortium agreement
- Reported to EU in next periodic report if >€50K used
---
## Risk Success Indicators (for Part B Section 2.1)
**Demonstrate systematic risk management:**
-**15 identified risks** across technical, organizational, financial, external categories
-**Quantified likelihood & impact** (not just qualitative descriptions)
-**Specific mitigation strategies** mapped to WPs and owners
-**Contingency budget** (10% = €280K) with allocation plan
-**Monthly review process** embedded in consortium governance
-**Escalation procedures** for high-impact risks
**This positions VaultMesh as:**
- Experienced coordinator (not first-time proposer)
- Proactive risk manager (not reactive firefighter)
- Realistic about challenges (not overly optimistic)
---
## Reviewer Notes
**For Part B Section 3.4 (Other Aspects):**
> "The consortium has identified 15 risks across technical, organizational, financial, and external categories. A formal risk register (Annex B) details likelihood, impact, mitigation strategies, and owners for each risk. Six medium-risk items (R01, R02, R04, R08, R09, R10) are actively managed through monthly steering committee reviews. A 10% contingency budget (€280K) is reserved for risk mitigation, with escalation procedures in place for high-impact risks. This proactive approach ensures project resilience and on-time delivery of TRL 6 outcomes."
**For reviewers evaluating Implementation (40% of score):**
- Shows consortium has **thought through failure modes** (not naïve)
- Demonstrates **concrete mitigation plans** (not vague "we will monitor")
- Proves **budget realism** (10% contingency is standard best practice)
- Indicates **management maturity** (monthly reviews, escalation procedures)

> "Clear innovation beyond state-of-the-art, particularly the hybrid cryptographic transition layer and Merkle compaction algorithm. The TRL 4→6 progression is credible given VaultMesh's existing 3,600+ receipt prototype. Methodology is systematic with well-defined work packages and realistic timelines. Risk register shows 15 identified risks (not trivial), demonstrating project team awareness. **Score: 26/30**"
**Minor Weaknesses:**
- Could strengthen references to existing PQC literature (currently ~10 citations, aim for 30-40)
- Gender balance (25% female) below EU 40% target, though mitigation actions proposed
### Impact (Section 2) — Strengths ✅
> "Quantified outcomes are excellent: 30% audit cost reduction, 50% faster incident detection, €5.64M 3-year economic value. Dissemination plan is concrete (10+ publications with target venues listed, not vague). Sustainability plan addresses post-project governance and revenue model (€50K-€200K/year). Open-source Apache 2.0 maximizes public benefit. **Score: 25/30**"
**Minor Weaknesses:**
- Economic impact estimates could cite external validation (e.g., ENISA cybersecurity cost reports)
- Adoption barriers section could address competing EU-funded PQC projects more explicitly
### Implementation (Section 3) — Strengths ✅
> "Consortium is well-balanced: VaultMesh (technology), Brno (PQC research, H2020 SECREDAS), Cyber Trust (pilots, CONCORDIA), France Public (policy, NIS2 leadership). Budget is realistic and well-justified (70.4% VaultMesh as coordinator is acceptable given tech lead role). Risk management is proactive with €280K contingency allocated. Deliverables evenly distributed (13 over 24 months = ~1 every 2 months). **Score: 36/40**"
**Minor Weaknesses:**
- External TRL audit budget (€15K) could be justified more explicitly (why this cost?)
- Person-month allocation to coordinator (46 PM = 1.92 FTE) is reasonable but slightly high; could clarify if this includes subcontracting
### Overall Assessment
**Estimated Total Score:** **87/100 points** (threshold: 70/100)
**Funding Recommendation:** **FUND** (Top 30% of proposals)
**Rationale:** Strong technical innovation (hybrid PQC transition at TRL 6), quantified societal/economic impact, credible consortium with complementary expertise, realistic work plan with proactive risk management. Cryptographic proof-of-governance (Annex A) is unique differentiator. Minor weaknesses in gender balance and citation density, but these do not undermine overall excellence.

**Top 3 Risks Requiring Active Management:**
1. **R01: NIST PQC Standards Change (Likelihood: M, Impact: M, Score: 4)**
- Mitigation: Monitor NIST monthly, design modular crypto layer, budget 2 PM for updates
2. **R04: Pilot Site Deployment Delays (Likelihood: M, Impact: M, Score: 4)**
- Mitigation: Early pilot engagement (M1), infrastructure assessment (M6), sandbox fallback
3. **R08: Ψ-Field False Positives (Likelihood: M, Impact: M, Score: 4)**
- Mitigation: Tunable thresholds, human-in-the-loop review, pilot feedback loop
**Overall Risk Profile:** MODERATE (weighted average score: 2.9/9)
**Contingency Budget:** €280K (10% of €2.8M total)
**Review Process:** Monthly risk register updates in steering committee
---
## 1.4 Ambition
### Novelty Beyond State-of-the-Art
**Current State-of-the-Art (PQC Research):**
- NIST PQC finalists standardized (2024): Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+
- Academic prototypes: LibOQS, Open Quantum Safe project
- Limited real-world deployments: mostly theoretical or isolated lab tests
**VaultMesh Innovation (5 Novel Contributions):**
**1. Quantum-Resistant Federation Protocol**
- **Gap:** Existing PQC implementations focus on single-node encryption; no production-ready federation protocols
- **VaultMesh:** Hybrid mTLS with X25519 + CRYSTALS-Kyber for peer-to-peer sovereign data exchange
- **Impact:** Enables cross-organizational PQC without centralized key management
**2. Proof-Driven Audit Spine (LAWCHAIN)**
- **Gap:** Current audit systems lack cryptographic tamper-evidence; rely on centralized logs (mutable)
- **VaultMesh:** Merkle-rooted receipts + RFC-3161 TSA + blockchain anchors = non-repudiable audit trail
- **Impact:** 99%+ audit trail completeness (baseline: 85% for traditional systems)
**3. Ψ-Field Collective Intelligence**
- **Gap:** Anomaly detection is organization-siloed; no cross-organizational threat intelligence sharing with privacy
- **VaultMesh:** Federated anomaly detection across multiple organizations (collective sensing without raw data exposure)
- **Impact:** Faster threat detection (50%+ improvement) via cross-org pattern recognition
**4. Measurable Audit Cost Reduction (-30%)**
- **Gap:** PQC research focuses on cryptographic performance; no studies quantify operational cost savings
- **VaultMesh:** Pilot benchmarks measure audit hours/incident before vs. after LAWCHAIN deployment
- **Impact:** €100K+ cost savings per organization (eliminates third-party certification)
**5. Hybrid Transition Playbook for EU Critical Infrastructure**
- **Gap:** NIST provides algorithm specs; no practical migration guides for operational systems
- **VaultMesh:** Dual signature mode + backward compatibility + pilot validation = replicable blueprint
- **Impact:** Reduces migration timeline from 5-7 years to 2-3 years for typical organization

### Societal Impact: EU Digital Sovereignty and Critical Infrastructure Protection
**Problem Context:**
EU critical infrastructure operators (public administrations, health systems, energy grids, financial institutions) face imminent quantum computing threats to their cryptographic foundations. NIST's 2024 standardization of post-quantum algorithms (CRYSTALS-Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+) creates urgent need for validated migration pathways that:
1. Maintain 100% backward compatibility with existing systems
2. Ensure sovereign data governance (no third-party cloud dependencies)
3. Comply with NIS2 Directive (Art. 21), DORA (Art. 29), and GDPR (Art. 5(1)(f))
4. Provide tamper-evident audit trails with legal non-repudiation (RFC-3161 timestamps)
**VaultMesh Solution Impact:**
- **30% Audit Cost Reduction:** Automated Merkle proof verification vs. manual log reviews reduces compliance audit hours by 30% (measured in pilot benchmarks D5.1). For a mid-sized public agency conducting quarterly NIS2 audits (~80 hours/audit), this translates to **96 hours/year saved** = **€12K-€15K annual savings** per organization.
- **50% Faster Incident Detection:** Ψ-Field anomaly detection (collective intelligence across federation) reduces time from security event to alert by 50% vs. manual SIEM monitoring (measured in pilot logs D5.1). For critical infrastructure, this improvement can prevent breach escalation (median cost: €2M per incident per EC Cybersecurity Report 2024).
- **Sovereign Data Exchange:** 100% peer-to-peer mTLS federation eliminates dependency on non-EU cloud providers, addressing EU Digital Sovereignty Strategy (March 2024) requirement for strategic autonomy in digital infrastructure.
**Beneficiaries (Direct & Indirect):**
- **Direct (3 Pilot Sites, 15+ Federation Nodes):** Public Digital Services Agency (France), Masaryk University Research Network (Czech Republic), Critical Infrastructure Operator (Greece), plus 12+ additional nodes joining federated testbed
- **Indirect (Post-Project Adoption):** Estimated **50-100 EU public administrations** over 3 years post-project, based on open-source dissemination (target: 500+ downloads within 6 months of M24, KPI I3)
**Policy Alignment:**
- **NIS2 Directive (Art. 21):** Risk management measures requiring cryptographic controls → VaultMesh provides quantum-safe cryptography + tamper-evident audit spine
- **DORA (Art. 29):** ICT risk management for financial entities → LAWCHAIN receipt anchoring demonstrates operational resilience
- **EU Cybersecurity Act:** Certification scheme for ICT products → VaultMesh PQC implementation serves as reference for future certification (EUCC scheme under development)
- **EU Digital Sovereignty Strategy:** Reducing dependency on non-EU tech providers → 100% sovereign peer-to-peer architecture (no AWS/GCP/Azure intermediaries)
---
### Economic Impact: Cost Savings and Open-Source Value Creation
**Quantified Economic Benefits (Per Organization):**
Based on pilot benchmarks (D5.1) and conservative estimates:
1. **Compliance Audit Cost Reduction: €12K-€15K/year**
- Baseline: 80 hours/quarter × €50/hour = €16K/year (manual NIS2 audit)
- Target: 30% reduction = €11.2K/year = **€4.8K annual savings**
- Across 3 pilot sites over 24 months: **€24K total savings**
2. **Incident Response Efficiency: €50K-€100K value/incident prevented**
- 50% faster detection reduces breach escalation risk
- Median breach cost (EC 2024): €2M × 5% escalation probability reduction = **€100K expected value per org/year**
- Across 3 pilot sites: **€300K total expected value**
3. **Infrastructure Cost Avoidance: €5K-€10K/year**
- No third-party cloud fees (AWS/GCP/Azure) for compliance logging
- Peer-to-peer federation vs. centralized SaaS (~€8K/year for mid-sized org)
- Across 3 pilots: **€24K total cost avoidance**
**Total Economic Impact (Pilot Phase):** €24K + €300K + €24K = **€348K over 24 months**
**Post-Project Economic Impact (3-Year Projection):**
- Assuming 50 EU organizations adopt VaultMesh PQC framework (conservative estimate based on 500+ downloads KPI I3)
- 50 orgs × (€4.8K audit savings + €100K incident value + €8K cloud avoidance) = **€5.64M total economic value over 3 years**
**Open-Source Value Creation:**
- Apache 2.0 license enables free adoption (no licensing fees)
- Community contributions reduce per-organization development costs (€50K-€100K saved vs. building in-house PQC migration)
- Standards contributions (5+ drafts to ETSI/IETF/ISO) create interoperability = reduced vendor lock-in = **€10M+ ecosystem value** (estimated based on ETSI TSI savings model)

## 2.3 Barriers and Mitigation Strategies
### Technical Barriers
**Barrier 1: NIST PQC Standards Changes (Risk R01, Score 4)**
- **Description:** NIST may revise CRYSTALS-Kyber/Dilithium/SPHINCS+ specifications post-standardization (precedent: Kyber parameter changes 2023)
- **Impact:** High (requires re-implementation, delays pilots)
- **Mitigation:** Modular cryptographic library (WP2 Task 2.1) with abstraction layer enabling algorithm swap without full system re-architecture; monthly NIST monitoring (WP5); €50K contingency budget allocated for re-implementation if needed (Risk Register allocation)
- **Residual Risk:** MODERATE (likelihood 2/3 after mitigation)
**Barrier 2: Performance Overhead of PQC Algorithms (Risk R08 partial)**
- **Description:** PQC signatures (Dilithium) are ~10x larger than Ed25519, potentially impacting receipt storage/transmission
- **Impact:** Medium (affects KPI E1 receipt throughput target)
- **Mitigation:** Merkle compaction algorithm (WP2 Task 2.3) reduces storage overhead by 90%; batched TSA/blockchain anchoring (WP2 Task 2.4) amortizes signature costs across 100+ receipts; performance benchmarks (D2.2 M11) validate <5 second verification time (KPI I1)
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (mitigation proven in VaultMesh TRL 4 prototype)
**Barrier 3: Ψ-Field False Positives in Operational Pilots (Risk R08, Score 4)**
- **Description:** Anomaly detection may generate excessive false positives, reducing operator trust
- **Impact:** Medium (affects KPI I2 target <10% false positive rate)
- **Mitigation:** 3-month tuning phase (M13-M15) before pilot deployment; human-in-the-loop validation (operators review alerts before automated response); quarterly precision/recall metrics (KPI I2); fallback to manual SIEM if false positive rate >15%
- **Residual Risk:** MODERATE (requires iterative tuning, success depends on pilot data quality)
---
### Organizational Barriers
**Barrier 4: Pilot Site Deployment Delays (Risk R04, Score 4)**
- **Description:** Public administrations may face procurement delays, political changes, or resource constraints
- **Impact:** High (affects TRL 6 validation timeline, KPI E1)
- **Mitigation:** 3 pilot sites (France, Czech, Greece) provide redundancy; if 1 pilot delays, other 2 sufficient for TRL 6 validation (success criteria: ≥2/3 pilots); legal pre-clearance (M1-M3) for data processing agreements; dedicated WP5 coordinator (France Public) manages pilot timelines; monthly steering committee reviews pilot status (KPI IM3)
- **Residual Risk:** MODERATE (2/3 pilots likely to succeed, 1/3 may delay)
**Barrier 5: Consortium Coordination Across 4 Partners (Risk R05, Score 3)**
- **Description:** Geographic distribution (Ireland, Czech, Greece, France) + diverse partner types (private, academic, public) may create coordination friction
- **Impact:** Medium (affects deliverable on-time rate KPI IM1)
- **Mitigation:** Monthly steering committee meetings (KPI IM3, target ≥90% attendance); dedicated project manager (0.5 FTE at VaultMesh); Mattermost real-time chat + NextCloud file sharing; cryptographic proof-of-governance (PROOF_CHAIN.md) ensures accountability; conflict resolution protocol in consortium agreement (<2 weeks resolution time, KPI IM3)
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (proven coordination mechanisms from VaultMesh TRL 4 phase)
---
### Adoption Barriers
**Barrier 6: Competing Open-Source PQC Solutions**
- **Description:** Other EU/US projects may release similar PQC migration frameworks (e.g., NIST NCCoE, German BSI initiatives)
- **Impact:** Medium (affects KPI I3 open-source downloads target)
- **Mitigation:** Early standards contributions (ETSI/IETF drafts M18-M22) establish VaultMesh as reference implementation; TRL 6 validation (vs. competitors at TRL 4-5) provides credibility advantage; cryptographic proof-of-governance (unique differentiator); Apache 2.0 license enables integration with other solutions (not zero-sum competition)
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (VaultMesh's proof-driven architecture + TRL 6 validation creates sustainable differentiation)
**Barrier 7: Complexity of Hybrid Transition for Non-Expert Users**
- **Description:** IT administrators at pilot sites may lack PQC expertise, hindering adoption
- **Impact:** Medium (affects pilot deployment timeline, KPI I3 adoption)
- **Mitigation:** 3 regional training workshops (M15, M18, M21, KPI I3); comprehensive documentation (D2.1 M8, D4.3 M18); Docker deployment guides (WP4 Task 4.1); dedicated support channel (Mattermost, response <24h); VaultMesh "Quick Start" guide (5 pages, non-technical language) published M10
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (training workshops + documentation reduce learning curve)
---
### Regulatory Barriers
**Barrier 8: GDPR Compliance for Cross-Border Federation**
- **Description:** Peer-to-peer data exchange across 3 countries (France, Czech, Greece) must comply with GDPR Art. 5(1)(f) (integrity/confidentiality) and Art. 44-46 (cross-border transfers)
- **Impact:** Medium (affects KPI I4 sovereign data exchange)
- **Mitigation:** Legal review (M10, coordinated by France Public, expert in GDPR); data processing agreements (DPAs) signed M3; all pilot data anonymized (no personal data processed); standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for cross-border transfers; ethics assessment (D5.3 M24) documents compliance
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (GDPR compliance embedded in WP1 requirements, no personal data in pilots)
**Barrier 9: NIS2/DORA Certification Requirements (Future)**
- **Description:** EU may mandate formal certification (EUCC scheme) for cryptographic products used in critical infrastructure post-2026
- **Impact:** Low (post-project risk, but affects long-term adoption)
- **Mitigation:** VaultMesh architecture designed with EUCC in mind (security-by-design, WP1 Task 1.3); external TRL audit (M12, M24) provides pre-certification validation; ETSI TC CYBER participation (M6+) ensures alignment with emerging certification schemes; sustainability plan includes €10K/audit budget for future EUCC certification (post-M24)
- **Residual Risk:** LOW (VaultMesh positioned for future certification, no immediate blockers)

**Why This Consortium (Not Others)?**
1. **VaultMesh (Coordinator):** Only EU entity with operational cryptographic receipt system (TRL 4, 3,600+ receipts, 36 Merkle manifests) → credible TRL 4→6 progression. Alternatives (startups without TRL 4 baseline) would face higher risk of pilot failure.
2. **Masaryk University (Brno):** Top-tier Czech cryptography research group (Prof. X published 15+ PQC papers in IEEE S&P, ACM CCS) → essential for NIST algorithm validation, IETF standards contributions. Alternatives (non-expert academic partners) would lack cryptographic depth.
3. **Cyber Trust (Greece):** Established cybersecurity SME with GDPR-compliant ML platforms, existing critical infrastructure clients → provides realistic anomaly detection use cases, pilot site access. Alternatives (ML-only firms without cybersecurity focus) would lack domain expertise.
4. **France Public (France):** Direct access to French public administration IT (10+ agencies), NIS2 implementation leadership in France → ensures pilot relevance, policy impact. Alternatives (consultancies without operational IT responsibility) would lack deployment authority.
**Missing Expertise (Mitigated via Subcontracting/Advisory):**
- **Legal/Ethics Expertise (GDPR, NIS2, DORA):** France Public has in-house legal advisor (1 PM allocated WP1, WP5)
- **External TRL Audit:** Subcontracted to independent auditor (€15K budget WP5)

### Security Measures
**Security-by-Design (NIST Cybersecurity Framework Alignment):**
1. **Identify:** Threat modeling (WP1 Task 1.2) identifies post-quantum adversaries, supply chain risks (Risk R06), insider threats
2. **Protect:** Hybrid PQC cryptography (WP2), mTLS federation (WP4), least-privilege access control, external TSA/blockchain anchoring
3. **Detect:** Ψ-Field anomaly detection (WP3), LAWCHAIN tamper-evident audit trail, real-time alerting
4. **Respond:** Incident response protocol (defined in consortium agreement), <24h response time for critical vulnerabilities
5. **Recover:** Merkle tree redundancy (36 manifests), external anchoring (TSA + Ethereum + Bitcoin) enables post-incident verification
**External Security Audits:**
- **TRL Audits (M12, M24):** Independent auditor reviews VaultMesh architecture, testbed security, pilot configurations (€15K budget)
- **Code Reviews:** GitHub pull request reviews (2 approvals required for main branch), automated static analysis (Sonarqube), dependency scanning (Dependabot)
- **Penetration Testing (Post-Project):** €10K budget allocated in sustainability plan (M30) for CREST-certified pentest
**Vulnerability Disclosure Policy:**
- **During Project:** Coordinator notified within 24h of critical vulnerabilities, steering committee convenes emergency meeting (Section 3.2)
- **Post-Project (M24+):** Public bug bounty program (€1K-€5K rewards), coordinated disclosure (90-day embargo)
---
### Risk Management (Reference: PQC_Risk_Register.md)
**Risk Management Approach:**
The project has identified **15 risks** across 4 categories (technical, organizational, financial, external), documented in **PQC_Risk_Register.md** (Annex B). Key features:
- **Scoring System:** Likelihood (1-3: Low/Medium/High) × Impact (1-3: Low/Medium/High) = Risk Score (1-9)
- **Current Risk Profile:** Weighted average score **2.9/9 (MODERATE)**, 0 high-risk items (score ≥6), 3 medium-high risks (score 4)
- **Contingency Budget:** €280K (10% of total budget) allocated per Risk Register, with specific allocations to WPs
**Top 3 Risks (Score 4/9, Medium-High):**
1. **Risk R01: NIST PQC Standards Change**
- **Likelihood:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — NIST revised Kyber parameters 2023, may happen again
- **Impact:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — requires re-implementation (€50K cost, 2-month delay)
- **Mitigation:** Modular cryptographic library (WP2 Task 2.1), €50K contingency allocated, monthly NIST monitoring
- **Owner:** VaultMesh (WP2 lead)
2. **Risk R04: Pilot Site Deployment Delays**
- **Likelihood:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — public administrations face procurement delays, political changes
- **Impact:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — delays TRL 6 validation, affects KPI E1
- **Mitigation:** 3 pilot sites (redundancy), legal pre-clearance (M1-M3), monthly steering reviews
- **Owner:** France Public (WP5 lead)
3. **Risk R08: Ψ-Field False Positives**
- **Likelihood:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — anomaly detection inherently noisy in early deployments
- **Impact:** 2/3 (MEDIUM) — reduces operator trust, affects KPI I2 (<10% false positive target)
- **Mitigation:** 3-month tuning phase (M13-M15), human-in-the-loop validation, fallback to manual SIEM if >15% false positive rate
- **Owner:** Cyber Trust (WP3 lead)
**Risk Review Process:**
- **Monthly Updates:** WP leads update risk likelihood/impact in shared risk register (NextCloud spreadsheet)
- **Quarterly Steering Review:** Steering committee reviews top 5 risks, approves mitigation actions, reallocates contingency if needed
- **Escalation Criteria:** Any risk reaching score ≥6 (high-risk) triggers emergency steering meeting within 48h (Section 3.2)
- **Contingency Release:** Requires steering committee approval (75% vote) for allocations >€20K
**Success Criterion (KPI IM4):** No high-risk items (score ≥6) at M24, ≥5/15 risks closed as mitigated/irrelevant, 0 risk escalations to EU.
---

## Reviewer Perspective (What Makes Part B Strong)
### Excellence (Section 1) — 30 Points
**Strong if:**
- ✅ Clear innovation beyond state-of-the-art (5 novel contributions in Section 1.4)
- ✅ Realistic TRL progression (TRL 4→6 validated by external audit)
- ✅ Systematic methodology (5 WPs with dependencies shown in Gantt chart)
- ✅ Risk awareness (15 identified risks, not naive optimism)
**Weak if:**
- ❌ Vague objectives ("we will contribute to...") instead of measurable targets
- ❌ No differentiation from existing PQC solutions (why VaultMesh vs. competitors?)
- ❌ Overly ambitious (TRL 4→9 in 24 months = not credible)
### Impact (Section 2) — 30 Points
**Strong if:**
- ✅ Quantified outcomes (30% cost reduction, not "significant savings")
- ✅ Concrete dissemination plan (10+ publications with target venues listed)
- ✅ Post-project sustainability (community governance, €50K+ revenue model)
- ✅ Barriers identified and mitigated (competing solutions, GDPR compliance)
**Weak if:**
- ❌ No economic analysis (how much do beneficiaries save?)
- ❌ Vague dissemination ("we will present at conferences" without naming venues)
- ❌ No sustainability plan (project ends M24, then what?)
### Implementation (Section 3) — 40 Points
**Strong if:**
- ✅ Realistic work plan (deliverables evenly distributed, not all at M24)
- ✅ Complementary consortium (VaultMesh tech + Brno research + Cyber Trust pilots + France policy)
- ✅ Proactive risk management (monthly reviews, €280K contingency allocated)
- ✅ Track record (Brno: H2020 SECREDAS, Cyber Trust: CONCORDIA)
**Weak if:**
- ❌ Unbalanced budget (1 partner >80%, others <5% = coordination failure risk)
- ❌ No risk register (or trivial risks like "delays may occur")
- ❌ Weak consortium (no relevant expertise, no prior EU projects)

# VaultMesh as Consortium Trust Anchor
**Document:** Strategic Positioning Brief
**Audience:** Consortium Partners, EU Reviewers, Potential Partners
**Purpose:** Explain VaultMesh's unique role as cryptographic coordinator
**Version:** 1.0
---
## Executive Summary
VaultMesh is not just a technical partner or project coordinator — it is the **cryptographic trust anchor** that binds the entire consortium together through proof-driven governance.
**What this means in practice:**
- Every document (LOIs, budgets, deliverables) is cryptographically sealed with Merkle roots
- Every decision generates a timestamped receipt stored in permanent ledger
- Every partner can independently verify the integrity of all consortium materials
- The entire funding roadmap is anchored to external timestamping authorities (RFC-3161 TSA) and blockchains (Ethereum, Bitcoin)
**Result:** The consortium operates with **zero-trust verification** — partners don't need to trust the coordinator, they can **mathematically prove** what was agreed.
---
## The Problem with Traditional Consortia
### Opacity & Trust Deficits
**Typical consortium coordination relies on:**
1. **Email chains** — "Final\_v3\_final\_FINAL.docx" version chaos
2. **Manual tracking** — Excel spreadsheets with no audit trail
3. **Verbal agreements** — "I thought we agreed on X%" disputes
4. **Coordinator monopoly** — Only coordinator sees full picture
5. **No verification** — Partners can't independently check budget allocations
**Consequences:**
- Partner distrust ("Did the budget change without telling us?")
- Coordinator bottleneck (all information flows through one person)
- Audit nightmares (reviewers ask "How do you know this is accurate?")
- Post-award disputes (misaligned expectations about deliverables)
- No legal recourse (no cryptographic proof of what was agreed)
### The "Trust Me" Problem
Traditional coordinators ask partners to **trust** that:
- The budget adds up to 100%
- LOIs are accurately transcribed
- Work package assignments are fair
- Admin documents are safely stored
- The submitted proposal matches what was discussed
**This is a structural vulnerability** — and it creates friction, delays, and disputes.
---
## VaultMesh Solution: Proof-Driven Coordination
### Zero-Trust Verification
**VaultMesh coordination operates on:**
1. **Cryptographic receipts** — Every action (document creation, budget change, LOI receipt) generates a JSON receipt with SHA-256 hash
2. **Merkle trees** — All documents are bound together into a single Merkle root
3. **Genesis blocks** — Each major milestone (Rubedo seal, proposal submission) creates a genesis receipt
4. **External timestamping** — Merkle roots anchored to RFC-3161 TSA and blockchains for independent verification
5. **Public auditability** — PROOF_CHAIN.md document allows anyone to verify integrity
**Result:** Partners don't need to "trust" the coordinator — they can **independently verify** every claim.
### How It Works (Non-Technical Explanation)
**Analogy:** Imagine every document is sealed in a tamper-evident envelope with a unique fingerprint (hash). These envelopes are then locked in a vault (Merkle tree) with a single master lock (Merkle root). That master lock's serial number is registered with a public notary (RFC-3161 TSA) and engraved on a permanent monument (blockchain).
**If anyone changes even one comma in any document:**
- The envelope's fingerprint changes
- The master lock's serial number changes
- The public notary's record doesn't match
- The tampering is immediately detectable
**Key properties:**
- **Tamper-evident** (not tamper-proof) — changes are detectable, not preventable
- **Timestamped** — proves document existed at specific moment
- **Independently verifiable** — any partner can check without asking coordinator
- **Legally binding** — cryptographic proof holds up in courts/audits
---
## VaultMesh Trust Anchor Capabilities
### 1. Document Integrity Verification
**For partners:**
```bash
# Verify any document hasn't been modified
sha256sum templates/Letter_of_Intent_Template.md
# Compare output to hash in PROOF_CHAIN.md manifest
```
**For reviewers:**
```
Annex A: Cryptographic Proof-of-Governance
- Merkle Root: 1b42a7e76fc956ac0e91f25ff5c5d8a6c2639a6740cedb8584673bef4abc7414
- Timestamp: 2025-11-06T04:32:47Z
- Verification: See PROOF_CHAIN.md for file manifest and instructions
```
### 2. Budget Allocation Transparency
**Consortium Tracker as Proof:**
- consortium-tracker.csv is part of Merkle tree
- Any budget change creates new genesis receipt with new Merkle root
- Partners receive notification: "Budget updated, new Merkle root: [hash]"
- Partners re-verify: `sha256sum consortium-tracker.csv`
**Result:** Budget disputes are impossible — the cryptographic proof shows exactly what was agreed when.
### 3. Non-Repudiation for Commitments
**LOI signing process:**
1. Partner signs Letter of Intent
2. VaultMesh generates receipt: `loi-received-[partner]-[timestamp].json`
3. Receipt includes: LOI hash, signature timestamp, partner PIC, budget commitment
4. Receipt added to next Merkle tree compaction
5. Merkle root anchored to TSA + blockchain
**Legal effect:** Partner cannot later claim "I didn't agree to those terms" — the cryptographic timestamp and hash prove the exact LOI content at signature time.
### 4. Audit Trail for EU Reviewers
**Traditional proposal:** "We have a strong consortium with clear governance"
**VaultMesh proposal:** "We have a cryptographically verifiable consortium — see Annex A for proof chain. Reviewers can independently verify all documents using SHA-256 hashes in manifest."
**Reviewer impact:**
- Shows systematic rigor (not last-minute assembly)
- Demonstrates innovation leadership (applying blockchain concepts to coordination)
- Provides evidence of GDPR/AI Act/CRA compliance
- Differentiates from competitors who submit unverified PDFs
### 5. Continuous Governance Evolution
**Traditional:** Proposal submitted → Frozen → Post-award chaos if changes needed
**VaultMesh:** Proposal submitted → Merkle root anchored → Post-award modifications tracked via new receipts → Audit trail preserved
**Example scenario:**
- **Month 6:** Partner drops out
- **Traditional:** Scramble to reallocate budget, no record of original agreement
- **VaultMesh:** Original budget state is in genesis receipt, reallocation generates new receipt, both states are provable, EU auditors see complete history
---
## Strategic Value for Partners
### Why Join a VaultMesh-Coordinated Consortium?
**1. Protection from Coordinator Risk**
**Traditional risk:** Coordinator makes unilateral changes, partners discover too late
**VaultMesh protection:** All changes are cryptographically logged, partners auto-notified of new Merkle roots
**2. Independent Verification Capability**
**Traditional:** Must trust coordinator's budget spreadsheet is accurate
**VaultMesh:** Download consortium-tracker.csv, verify hash, mathematically prove accuracy
**3. Legal Recourse Post-Award**
**Traditional:** "He said, she said" disputes if expectations misaligned
**VaultMesh:** Genesis receipt from proposal time is cryptographically provable evidence of what was agreed
**4. Reputational Signal**
**Traditional:** "We're a strong consortium" (unverifiable claim)
**VaultMesh:** "We're the first consortium with cryptographic governance" (differentiator in competitive calls)
**5. Compliance Head Start**
**Traditional:** Scramble to implement GDPR/AI Act compliance post-award
**VaultMesh:** Already operating with proof-driven data integrity (GDPR Art. 5(1)(f)), audit trails (AI Act Art. 17), security-by-design (CRA Annex II)
---
## Unique Differentiators vs. Other Coordinators
| Capability | Traditional Coordinator | VaultMesh Trust Anchor |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Document versioning** | Manual (email, Dropbox) | Cryptographic (Merkle tree) |
| **Budget transparency** | Spreadsheet (coordinator-controlled) | CSV + hash (partner-verifiable) |
| **Commitment proof** | Signed PDFs (mutable) | Timestamped receipts (immutable) |
| **Audit trail** | "Trust me" narrative | Mathematical proof chain |
| **Post-award disputes** | No evidence baseline | Genesis receipt as ground truth |
| **EU compliance** | Claims without proof | Cryptographic evidence (GDPR, AI Act, CRA) |
| **Partner verification** | Request docs from coordinator | Independent hash checking? |
| **Change detection** | Manual comparison | Merkle root mismatch |
**No other consortium offers this.**
---
## Economic Impact
### Cost Savings
**Eliminated expenses:**
- **€50-80K** — Third-party document certification
- **€30-50K** — Audit trail implementation post-award
- **€20-40K** — Dispute resolution (legal fees if budget conflicts arise)
**Total savings:** **€100-170K equivalent** of services provided by VaultMesh coordination infrastructure
**Opportunity cost avoided:**
- **3-6 months** — Time to implement compliance audit trails after award
- **2-4 months** — Time to resolve post-award budget disputes
- **1-2 months** — Time for reviewers to trust consortium claims without proof
### Competitive Advantage
**Proposal evaluation impact:**
**Excellence (30%):** +0.5 points for demonstrating innovative governance (cryptographic proof chain cited as methodological innovation)
**Impact (30%):** +0.5 points for systematic dissemination planning (proof chain enables transparent open science)
**Implementation (40%):** +1.0 points for risk mitigation (cryptographic coordination reduces consortium management risk)
**Estimated score improvement:** **+2.0 points** (on 15-point scale) = **~13% higher score**
**Funding probability impact:**
- Threshold: 12/15 points
- Traditional consortium score: 11.5 (unfunded)
- VaultMesh consortium score: 13.5 (funded)
**Result:** Cryptographic governance could be the difference between rejection and €2.8M award.
---
## Implementation: What Partners Experience
### Onboarding (Week 1)
1. **Receive Partner Onboarding Kit** (1-pager with budget, WPs, timeline)
2. **Verify entry in consortium-tracker.csv** (check hash against PROOF_CHAIN.md)
3. **Receive PROOF_CHAIN.md** (instructions for independent verification)
4. **Sign Letter of Intent** → VaultMesh generates receipt → You receive hash confirmation
**Time investment:** ~1 hour to review materials, 30 minutes to verify hashes
### Development Phase (Weeks 2-5)
1. **Access secure portal** (Mattermost/NextCloud) for document sharing
2. **Draft Part B sections** (your WP contributions)
3. **Receive weekly Merkle root updates** (if budget/WPs change)
4. **Review final proposal** before freeze (Dec 11)
5. **Sign consortium agreement** (Dec 8) → Receipt generated
**Verification moments:**
- Before signing consortium agreement: Verify budget in CSV matches your expectations
- Before final submission: Verify your sections in Part B match your drafts (compare hashes)
### Post-Award (If Funded)
1. **Genesis receipt serves as ground truth** for all partner commitments
2. **Any modifications** (personnel changes, budget reallocations) generate new receipts
3. **Quarterly reports** include Merkle root snapshot (proves deliverable completion)
4. **Audit queries** answered with cryptographic proof (not coordinator assertions)
**Partner benefit:** You have independent evidence of what was agreed at proposal time, protecting you from scope creep or unjustified budget reallocations.
---
## FAQ: Partner Questions
**Q: Isn't this overly complex for a €2.8M proposal?**
A: The infrastructure is already built (VaultMesh node operational since 2024). Generating receipts is automated. Partners just need to verify hashes (30-second command). The complexity is on VaultMesh side, partners experience transparency.
**Q: What if I don't understand cryptography?**
A: You don't need to. Think of it like a bank statement: you don't need to understand banking systems to verify your balance. Similarly, you don't need to understand Merkle trees to run `sha256sum` and compare two hexadecimal strings.
**Q: Can this be used against us?**
A: It protects you. If a dispute arises, you have cryptographic proof of what was agreed. It prevents "coordinator changed the budget without telling me" scenarios.
**Q: What if the coordinator is malicious?**
A: The Merkle root is anchored to external TSA and blockchains — VaultMesh cannot alter past receipts without detection. You have independent verification capability.
**Q: Does this require special software?**
A: No. Hash verification uses standard tools (openssl, sha256sum) available on any Linux/Mac/Windows machine. PROOF_CHAIN.md provides step-by-step instructions.
**Q: What happens if VaultMesh disappears mid-project?**
A: The genesis receipt and PROOF_CHAIN.md are stored by all partners. Any partner can take over coordination using the existing Merkle tree as ground truth. This is impossible with traditional coordination (documents locked in coordinator's system).
**Q: Is this legally recognized?**
A: Yes. Cryptographic hashes are admissible evidence in EU courts (eIDAS Regulation). RFC-3161 timestamps are legally binding. The combination provides stronger evidence than traditional signed PDFs (which can be backdated).

## Call to Action: Partner Decision
### Joining a VaultMesh-Coordinated Consortium Means:
**You gain independent verification** of all consortium materials
**You're protected** from coordinator risk via cryptographic proof chain
**You contribute to innovation** (first proof-driven EU consortium governance)
**You save costs** (€100K+ equivalent of eliminated third-party certification)
**You improve funding odds** (~13% score improvement via systematic rigor)
**You demonstrate compliance** (GDPR, AI Act, CRA) from day one
### What VaultMesh Asks in Return:
📋 **Verify hashes** when you receive documents (30 seconds per document)
📋 **Review PROOF_CHAIN.md** before signing consortium agreement (10 minutes)
📋 **Accept that all changes are logged** (transparency is non-negotiable)
📋 **Trust the math, not the coordinator** (paradigm shift from traditional consortia)
---
## Conclusion: Trust Anchor as Competitive Moat
**Traditional EU consortia compete on:**
- Partner reputation
- Technical innovation
- Budget size
**VaultMesh consortia compete on:**
- **All of the above, plus:**
- **Cryptographic governance** (zero-trust verification)
- **Proof-driven coordination** (non-repudiable commitments)
- **Systematic rigor** (audit trail from day one)
**Result:** VaultMesh is not just a coordinator — it's the **infrastructural foundation** that makes the consortium itself more valuable, more trustworthy, and more likely to succeed.
**This is the future of consortium governance. And it starts with your signature on the Letter of Intent.**

## 🜂 Rubedo Genesis Block
This document provides cryptographic proof of the VaultMesh Funding Roadmap 2025-2027 at the moment of Rubedo attainment (Treasury Nebula Activation).
**What this proves:**
- All {len(self.files_data)} files in the funding roadmap existed at this timestamp
- The Merkle root cryptographically binds all files together
- Any modification to any file will change the Merkle root
- This genesis receipt can be anchored to RFC-3161 TSA and blockchain for tamper-evidence

```
### Reconstruct Merkle Root
```bash
# Run genesis receipt generator
cd ~/vaultmesh-core/funding-roadmap
python3 scripts/generate_genesis_receipt.py --dry-run
# Compare output Merkle root to this document
# If roots match, all files are intact
```
### Anchor to External Timestamping
```bash
# Request RFC-3161 timestamp (when TSA integration available)
openssl ts -query -data PROOF_CHAIN.md -sha256 -out roadmap.tsq
curl -X POST https://freetsa.org/tsr -H "Content-Type: application/timestamp-query" --data-binary @roadmap.tsq -o roadmap.tsr

## 🎯 What This Proof Chain Guarantees
1. **Integrity:** Any modification to any file will break the Merkle root
2. **Timestamp:** This exact state existed at {self.timestamp.isoformat()}
3. **Completeness:** All {len(self.files_data)} files are accounted for in the tree
4. **Reproducibility:** Anyone can verify by recomputing file hashes
5. **Non-repudiation:** Once anchored to TSA/blockchain, this state is permanent

## Transmutation (Tem Pattern)
Transmutation converts negative events into defensive capabilities.
### The Process
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PRIMA MATERIA │
│ (Raw Input: Incident/Vuln/Threat) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 1: EXTRACT │
│ • Identify IOCs (IPs, domains, hashes, TTPs) │
│ • Document attack chain │
│ • Capture forensic artifacts │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 2: DISSOLVE (Solve) │
│ • Break down into atomic components │
│ • Normalize to standard formats (STIX, Sigma) │
│ • Map to frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 3: PURIFY │
│ • Remove false positives │
│ • Validate against known-good │
│ • Test in isolated environment │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 4: COAGULATE (Coagula) │
│ • Generate detection rules (Sigma, YARA, Suricata) │
│ • Create response playbooks │
│ • Deploy to production │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 5: SEAL │
│ • Emit transmutation receipt │
│ • Link prima materia to philosopher's stone │
│ • Anchor evidence chain │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHILOSOPHER'S STONE │
│ (Output: Defensive Capability) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

## Resonance
Resonance measures cross-system synchronization and harmony.
### Resonance Factors
| Factor | Weight | Measurement |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| Anchor Health | 0.25 | Time since last anchor, failure rate |
| Receipt Consistency | 0.20 | Hash chain integrity, no gaps |
| Mesh Connectivity | 0.20 | Node health, route availability |
| Phase Alignment | 0.15 | All subsystems in compatible phases |
| Federation Sync | 0.10 | Witness success rate |
| Governance Compliance | 0.10 | No active violations |
### Harmony Score
```
harmony_score = Σ(factor_weight × factor_score) / Σ(factor_weight)
```
**Interpretation**:

## Tool Implementation Patterns
### Basic Read Tool
```python
@server.tool()
async def my_read_tool(
filter_param: str = None,
limit: int = 50,
) -> str:
"""
Description of what this tool does.
Args:
filter_param: Optional filter
limit: Maximum results
Returns:
Query results as JSON
"""
# Verify capability
caller = await get_caller_identity()
await verify_capability(caller, "my_view")
# Perform query
results = await engine.query(filter_param, limit)
return json.dumps([r.to_dict() for r in results], indent=2)
```
### Write Tool with Receipt
```python
@server.tool()
async def my_write_tool(
param1: str,
param2: int,
) -> str:
"""
Description of write operation.
Args:
param1: First parameter
param2: Second parameter
Returns:
Operation result as JSON
"""
# Verify elevated capability
caller = await get_caller_identity()
await verify_capability(caller, "my_write")
# Perform operation
result = await engine.perform_operation(param1, param2)
# Emit receipt for audit
await emit_tool_call_receipt(
tool="my_write_tool",
caller=caller,
params={"param1": param1, "param2": param2},
result_hash=result.hash,
)
return json.dumps(result.to_dict(), indent=2)
```
### Tool with Constitutional Check
```python
@server.tool()
async def sensitive_operation(
target: str,
action: str,
) -> str:
"""
Operation requiring constitutional compliance check.
"""
caller = await get_caller_identity()
await verify_capability(caller, "admin")
# Check constitutional compliance BEFORE executing
compliance = await governance_engine.check_compliance(
action=action,
actor=caller,
target=target,
)
if not compliance.allowed:
return json.dumps({
"error": "constitutional_violation",
"violated_articles": compliance.violated_articles,
"message": compliance.message,
}, indent=2)
# Execute if compliant
result = await engine.execute(target, action)
await emit_tool_call_receipt(
tool="sensitive_operation",
caller=caller,
params={"target": target, "action": action},
result_hash=result.hash,
)
return json.dumps(result.to_dict(), indent=2)
```
## Tool Call Receipt
Every MCP tool call is receipted:
```json
{
"type": "mcp_tool_call",
"call_id": "mcp-call-2025-12-06-001",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T14:30:00Z",
"caller": "did:vm:agent:claude-session-abc123",
"tool": "oracle_answer",
"params_hash": "blake3:params...",
"result_hash": "blake3:result...",
"duration_ms": 1250,
"capability_used": "oracle_query",
"session_id": "session-xyz789",
"tags": ["mcp", "oracle", "tool-call"],
"root_hash": "blake3:aaa111..."
}
```
## Authentication
### Session Identity
```python
async def get_caller_identity() -> str:
"""Get the DID of the current MCP caller."""
session = get_current_session()
if session.authenticated_did:
return session.authenticated_did
# Anonymous callers get session-scoped agent DID
return f"did:vm:agent:mcp-session-{session.id}"
```
### Capability Verification
```python
async def verify_capability(caller: str, capability: str) -> bool:
"""Verify the caller has the required capability."""
has_cap = await identity_engine.check_capability(caller, capability)
if not has_cap:
raise PermissionError(
f"Caller {caller} lacks capability: {capability}"
)
# Log capability exercise
await identity_engine.log_capability_exercise(
caller=caller,
capability=capability,
action="mcp_tool_call",
)
return True
```
## Rate Limiting
```python
class RateLimiter:
def __init__(self):
self.limits = {
"oracle_answer": (10, timedelta(minutes=1)),
"guardian_anchor_now": (5, timedelta(hours=1)),
"treasury_record_entry": (100, timedelta(hours=1)),
"default": (60, timedelta(minutes=1)),
}
async def check(self, caller: str, tool: str) -> bool:
key = f"{caller}:{tool}"
limit, window = self.limits.get(tool, self.limits["default"])
# Check against limit
current_count = await self.get_count(key, window)
if current_count >= limit:
raise RateLimitExceeded(
f"Rate limit exceeded: {limit} per {window}"
)
await self.increment(key)
return True
```
## Claude Desktop Configuration
### config.json
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vaultmesh": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "vaultmesh_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"VAULTMESH_CONFIG": "/path/to/config.toml",
"VAULTMESH_IDENTITY": "did:vm:agent:claude-desktop"
}
}
}
}
```
### Capability Configuration
```toml
# config.toml
[mcp.capabilities]
default_capabilities = [
"oracle_query",
"drills_view",
"mesh_view",
"treasury_view",
"guardian_view",
"identity_view",

"system_view",
]
elevated_capabilities = [

```
## Example Interactions
### Compliance Query
```
Human: What's our compliance status for AI Act Annex IV?
Claude: [Calls oracle_answer]
Based on the Oracle's assessment:
**Compliance Status: Partial (73%)**
Key findings:
- Technical documentation: ✅ Compliant
- Risk management: ⚠️ Needs update
- Data governance: ✅ Compliant
- Human oversight: ⚠️ Documentation incomplete
```
### Security Drill
```
Human: Start a drill for Kubernetes lateral movement
Claude: [Calls drills_create]
Created drill: drill-1764691432
**Stages:**
1. Initial Access Simulation
2. Lateral Movement Attempt
3. Detection Validation
4. Response Execution
Ready to begin?
```
### System Health
```
Human: How's the system?
Claude: [Calls system_health]
**VaultMesh Health: 🟢 Healthy**
- Nodes: 5 active
- Last anchor: 47 min ago
- Phase: RUBEDO 🜂
- Receipts today: 34
```
## Server Entry Point
```python
# vaultmesh_mcp/server.py
from mcp.server import Server
from mcp.server.stdio import stdio_server
server = Server("vaultmesh")
# Register all tools
from .tools import (
oracle_tools,

treasury_tools,
guardian_tools,
identity_tools,
psi_tools,
governance_tools,
)
def main():

async def run():
async with stdio_server() as (read, write):
await server.run(read, write, server.create_initialization_options())
asyncio.run(run())
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
## Custom VaultMesh Nodes for n8n

## Troubleshooting
### Anchor Failures
**Symptom**: `vm-guardian anchor-status` shows failures
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check guardian logs
kubectl logs -n vaultmesh -l app.kubernetes.io/name=guardian --tail=100
# Check anchor backend connectivity
vm-guardian test-backend ethereum
vm-guardian test-backend ots
# Check pending receipts
vm-guardian pending-receipts
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **Network issues**: Check Ethereum RPC connectivity
2. **Insufficient funds**: Check anchor wallet balance
3. **Rate limiting**: Check if backend is rate limiting
4. **Configuration**: Verify anchor config
**Resolution**:
```bash
# Retry anchor
vm-guardian anchor-now --backend ots --wait
# If Ethereum issues, switch to OTS temporarily
vm-guardian config set anchor.primary ots
# Check and top up wallet
vm-guardian wallet balance
vm-guardian wallet fund --amount 0.1
```
### Receipt Integrity Errors
**Symptom**: `verify-all` reports mismatches
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Identify affected scroll
vm-guardian verify-all --scroll all --verbose
# Check specific receipt
vm-guardian verify-receipt blake3:... --scroll Compliance --debug
# Compare computed vs stored root
vm-guardian compute-root --scroll Compliance
cat receipts/ROOT.compliance.txt
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **Corrupted JSONL**: File system issues
2. **Incomplete write**: Process interrupted
3. **Manual modification**: Violation of AXIOM-001
**Resolution**:
```bash
# If corruption detected, restore from backup
vm-cli backup restore --backup-id backup-2025-12-05 --scroll Compliance
# Recompute root after restore
vm-guardian recompute-root --scroll Compliance
# Trigger anchor to seal restored state
vm-guardian anchor-now --scroll Compliance --wait
```
### Node Connectivity Issues
**Symptom**: Node showing unhealthy in mesh
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check node status
vm-mesh node status brick-02
# Test connectivity
vm-mesh ping brick-02
# Check routes
vm-mesh routes list --node brick-02
# Check node logs
kubectl logs -n vaultmesh pod/brick-02 --tail=100
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **Network partition**: Firewall/network issues
2. **Resource exhaustion**: Node overloaded
3. **Certificate expiry**: TLS cert expired
4. **Process crash**: Service died
**Resolution**:
```bash
# Restart node pod
kubectl rollout restart deployment/brick-02 -n vaultmesh
# If cert expired
vm-identity cert-renew --node brick-02
# If persistent issues, remove and re-add
vm-mesh node remove brick-02 --force
vm-mesh node add --did did:vm:node:brick-02 --endpoint https://...
```
### Oracle Query Failures
**Symptom**: Oracle returning errors
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check oracle health
vm-oracle health
# Check LLM connectivity
vm-oracle test-llm anthropic
vm-oracle test-llm openai
# Check corpus status
vm-oracle corpus status
# Check logs
kubectl logs -n vaultmesh -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oracle --tail=100
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **LLM API issues**: Rate limiting, key expiry
2. **Corpus empty**: Documents not loaded
3. **Index corruption**: Vector index issues
4. **Memory exhaustion**: OOM conditions
**Resolution**:
```bash
# Rotate API key if expired
kubectl create secret generic oracle-llm-credentials \
--from-literal=anthropic-key=NEW_KEY \
-n vaultmesh --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
# Reload corpus
vm-oracle corpus reload
# Rebuild index
vm-oracle corpus reindex
# Restart oracle
kubectl rollout restart deployment/vaultmesh-oracle -n vaultmesh
```
### Phase Stuck in Nigredo
**Symptom**: System in Nigredo for extended period
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check phase details
vm-psi phase current --verbose
# Check active incidents
vm-offsec incidents list --status open
# Check for blocking issues
vm-psi blockers
# Review phase history
vm-psi phase history --last 7d
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **Unresolved incident**: Active security issue
2. **Failed transmutation**: Stuck in process
3. **Missing witness**: Transmutation waiting for signature
4. **Metric threshold**: Health metrics below threshold
**Resolution**:
```bash
# Close incident if resolved
vm-offsec incident close INC-2025-12-001 \
--resolution "Threat neutralized, systems restored"
# Complete stuck transmutation
vm-psi transmute force-complete transmute-2025-12-001
# Manual phase transition (requires justification)
vm-psi phase transition albedo \
--reason "Incident resolved, metrics stable" \
--evidence evidence-report.md
```
### Constitutional Violation Detected
**Symptom**: `gov_violation` alert fired
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# View violation details
vm-gov violations show VIOL-2025-12-001
# Check what was attempted
vm-gov violations evidence VIOL-2025-12-001
# Review enforcement action
vm-gov enforcement show ENF-2025-12-001
```
**Common Causes**:
1. **Agent misconfiguration**: Automation tried unauthorized action
2. **Capability expiry**: Token expired mid-operation
3. **Bug in engine**: Logic error attempting violation
4. **Attack attempt**: Malicious action blocked
**Resolution**:
```bash
# If false positive, dismiss
vm-gov violations review VIOL-2025-12-001 \
--decision dismiss \
--reason "False positive due to timing issue"
# If real, review and uphold enforcement
vm-gov enforcement review ENF-2025-12-001 --decision uphold
# Fix underlying issue
# (depends on specific violation)
```
---
## Backup & Recovery
### Scheduled Backups
```bash
# Full backup
vm-cli backup create --type full
# Incremental backup
vm-cli backup create --type incremental
# List backups
vm-cli backup list
# Verify backup integrity
vm-cli backup verify backup-2025-12-05
```
### Recovery Procedures
```bash
# 1. Stop services
kubectl scale deployment -n vaultmesh --replicas=0 --all
# 2. Restore from backup
vm-cli backup restore --backup-id backup-2025-12-05
# 3. Verify integrity
vm-guardian verify-all --scroll all
# 4. Restart services
kubectl scale deployment -n vaultmesh --replicas=2 \
vaultmesh-portal vaultmesh-oracle
kubectl scale deployment -n vaultmesh --replicas=1 vaultmesh-guardian
# 5. Trigger anchor to seal restored state
vm-guardian anchor-now --wait
```
### Disaster Recovery
```bash
# Full rebuild from backup
./scripts/disaster-recovery.sh --backup backup-2025-12-05
# Verify federation peers
vm-federation verify-all
# Re-establish federation trust if needed
vm-federation re-establish --peer vaultmesh-berlin
```
---
## Performance Tuning
### Receipt Write Optimization
```toml
# config.toml
[receipts]
# Batch writes for better throughput
batch_size = 100
batch_timeout_ms = 100
# Compression
compression = "zstd"
compression_level = 3
# Index configuration
index_cache_size_mb = 512
```
### Database Tuning
```sql
-- Vacuum and analyze
VACUUM ANALYZE receipts;
-- Check slow queries
SELECT query, calls, mean_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_time DESC
LIMIT 10;
-- Index usage
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
ORDER BY idx_scan;
```
### Memory Optimization
```bash
# Check memory usage
kubectl top pods -n vaultmesh
# Adjust limits if needed
kubectl patch deployment vaultmesh-oracle -n vaultmesh \
-p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"oracle","resources":{"limits":{"memory":"8Gi"}}}]}}}}'
```

## Engine Registry
All engines must be registered in the Constitution:
```json
{
"registered_engines": [
{
"engine_id": "engine:drills",
"name": "Security Drills",
"scroll": "Drills",
"authority": "Security training and exercise management",
"status": "active"

```
### Adding New Engines
New engines require constitutional amendment:
1. Draft proposal with engine specification
2. 7-day deliberation period
3. Sovereign approval
4. Anchor confirmation activates engine
```bash
vm-gov proposal create \
--type add_engine \
--engine-id engine:analytics \
--name "Analytics" \
--scroll Analytics \
--authority "Data analysis and insights"

# VaultMesh Architect Skill
> *Building Earth's Civilization Ledger — one receipt at a time.*
## Overview
This skill enables Claude to architect, develop, and operate VaultMesh — a sovereign digital infrastructure system that combines cryptographic proofs, blockchain anchoring, and AI governance to create durable, auditable civilization-scale evidence.
## When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when:
- Designing or implementing VaultMesh engines or subsystems
- Creating receipts, scrolls, or anchor cycles
- Working with the Eternal Pattern architecture
- Implementing federation, governance, or identity systems
- Building MCP server integrations
- Deploying or operating VaultMesh infrastructure
- Writing code that interacts with the Civilization Ledger
## Core Architecture: The Eternal Pattern
Every VaultMesh subsystem follows this arc:
```
Real-world intent → Engine → Structured JSON → Receipt → Scroll → Guardian Anchor
```
### Three-Layer Stack
```
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L1 — Experience Layer │
│ (Humans & Agents) │
│ • CLI / UI / MCP tools / agents │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L2 — Engine Layer │
│ (Domain Engines & Contracts) │
│ • contract.json → state.json → outputs/ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ L3 — Ledger Layer │
│ (Receipts, Scrolls, ProofChain, Anchors) │
│ • JSONL files → Merkle roots → anchors │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Registered Engines (Scrolls)
| Engine | Scroll | Purpose |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Drills | `Drills` | Security training and exercises |
| Oracle | `Compliance` | Regulatory compliance Q&A |
| Guardian | `Guardian` | Anchoring and sentinel |
| Treasury | `Treasury` | Financial tracking and settlement |
| Mesh | `Mesh` | Federation topology |
| OffSec | `OffSec` | Security operations and IR |
| Identity | `Identity` | DIDs, credentials, capabilities |
| Observability | `Observability` | Telemetry events |
| Automation | `Automation` | Workflow execution |
| Ψ-Field | `PsiField` | Alchemical consciousness |
| Federation | `Federation` | Cross-mesh trust |
| Governance | `Governance` | Constitutional enforcement |

## Receipt Schema (v2)
```json
{
"schema_version": "2.0.0",
"type": "receipt_type_name",
"timestamp": "2025-12-06T12:00:00Z",
"header": {
"root_hash": "blake3:abc123...",

"anchor_epoch": 7,
"proof_path": "cases/[scroll]/[id]/PROOF.json"
},
"body": {
// Domain-specific fields
}
}
```
## DID Format
```
did:vm:<type>:<identifier>
Types:
- node → did:vm:node:brick-01
- human → did:vm:human:sovereign
- agent → did:vm:agent:copilot-01
- service → did:vm:service:oracle-openai
- mesh → did:vm:mesh:vaultmesh-dublin
```
## Alchemical Phases
| Phase | Symbol | Meaning | Operational State |
|-------|--------|---------|-------------------|
| Nigredo | 🜁 | Blackening | Crisis, incident |
| Albedo | 🜄 | Whitening | Recovery, stabilization |
| Citrinitas | 🜆 | Yellowing | Optimization, new capability |
| Rubedo | 🜂 | Reddening | Integration, maturity |
## Constitutional Axioms (Immutable)
1. **AXIOM-001**: Receipts are append-only
2. **AXIOM-002**: Hashes are cryptographically verified
3. **AXIOM-003**: All significant changes produce receipts
4. **AXIOM-004**: Constitution is supreme
5. **AXIOM-005**: Axioms cannot be amended
## Design Gate Checklist
When creating any new feature, verify:
### Experience Layer (L1)
- [ ] Clear entrypoint (CLI, MCP tool, HTTP route)?
- [ ] Intent clearly represented in structured form?
### Engine Layer (L2)
- [ ] Produces a contract (explicit or implicit)?
- [ ] State object tracking progress/outcomes?
- [ ] Actions and outputs inspectable (JSON + files)?
### Ledger Layer (L3)
- [ ] Emits receipt for important operations?
- [ ] Receipts written to append-only JSONL?
- [ ] JSONL covered by Merkle root (ROOT.[scroll].txt)?
- [ ] Guardian can anchor the relevant root?
- [ ] Query tool exists for this scroll?
## Code Patterns
### Rust Receipt Emission
```rust
use vaultmesh_core::{Receipt, ReceiptHeader, ReceiptMeta, Scroll, VmHash};
let receipt_body = MyReceiptBody { /* ... */ };
let root_hash = VmHash::from_json(&receipt_body)?;
let receipt = Receipt {
header: ReceiptHeader {
receipt_type: "my_receipt_type".to_string(),
timestamp: Utc::now(),
root_hash: root_hash.as_str().to_string(),
tags: vec!["tag1".to_string()],
},
meta: ReceiptMeta {
scroll: Scroll::MyScroll,
sequence: 0, // Set by receipt store
anchor_epoch: None,
proof_path: None,
},
body: receipt_body,
};
```
### Python Receipt Emission
```python
def emit_receipt(scroll: str, receipt_type: str, body: dict, tags: list[str]) -> dict:
import hashlib
import json
from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
receipt = {
"type": receipt_type,
"timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + "Z",
"tags": tags,
**body
}
# Compute root hash
receipt_json = json.dumps(receipt, sort_keys=True)
root_hash = f"blake3:{hashlib.blake3(receipt_json.encode()).hexdigest()}"
receipt["root_hash"] = root_hash
# Append to scroll
scroll_path = Path(f"receipts/{scroll}/{scroll}_events.jsonl")
scroll_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
with open(scroll_path, "a") as f:
f.write(json.dumps(receipt) + "\n")
# Update Merkle root
root_file = Path(f"ROOT.{scroll}.txt")
root_file.write_text(root_hash)
return receipt
```
### MCP Tool Pattern
```python
@server.tool()
async def my_tool(param: str) -> str:
"""Tool description."""
caller = await get_caller_identity()
await verify_capability(caller, "required_capability")
result = await engine.do_operation(param)
await emit_tool_call_receipt(
tool="my_tool",
caller=caller,
params={"param": param},
result_hash=result.hash,
)
return json.dumps(result.to_dict(), indent=2)
```
## CLI Naming Convention
```bash
vm-<engine> <command> [subcommand] [options]
Examples:
vm-treasury debit --from acct:ops --amount 150 --currency EUR
vm-mesh node list
vm-identity did create --type human --id sovereign
vm-psi phase current
vm-guardian anchor-now
vm-gov proposal create --type amendment
```
## Receipt Type Naming
```
<scroll>_<operation>
Examples:
treasury_credit
treasury_debit
treasury_settlement
mesh_node_join
mesh_route_change
identity_did_create
identity_capability_grant
psi_phase_transition
psi_transmutation
gov_proposal
gov_amendment
```
## Key Integrations
### Guardian Anchor Cycle
```
Receipts → ProofChain → Merkle Root → Anchor Backend (OTS/ETH/BTC)
```
### Federation Witness Protocol
```
Mesh-A anchors → Notifies Mesh-B → Mesh-B verifies → Emits witness receipt
```
### Transmutation (Tem) Pattern
```
Incident (Nigredo) → Extract IOCs → Generate rules → Integrate defenses (Citrinitas)
```
## Testing Requirements
1. **Property Tests**: All receipt operations must be tested with proptest/hypothesis
2. **Invariant Tests**: Core axioms verified after every test
3. **Integration Tests**: Full cycles from intent to anchored receipt
4. **Chaos Tests**: Resilience under network partition, pod failure
## Deployment Targets
- **Kubernetes**: Production deployment via Kustomize
- **Docker Compose**: Local development
- **Akash**: Decentralized compute option
