Status

Relationship type: external framework intake
Canonical StegVerse formalism source: Admissible-Existence
External framework role: historical governance review evidence
Wiki role: observatory record, boundary mapping, and commit-time test target
Citation status: artifact package required
Evidence provenance status: private correspondence provenance installed; public source still required
Architectural-boundary review attribution: authorized and published with exact boundaries
Comparative-testing status: not yet authorized from MindForge evidence

Current Determination

MindForge currently occupies two separate and deliberately non-equivalent evidence positions in this record:

1. The architectural boundary has received a bounded external review. The exact authorized statement is published below. It supports the formulation that historical review evidence, a current Commitment Candidate, a commit-time standing determination, and execution are separate boundaries.
2. MindForge itself has not been independently evaluated as an executable framework. No public canonical framework source, implementation package, raw output set, pinned runtime, replay procedure, or independent reproduction is attached.

Accordingly, the present determination remains:

architectural boundary review: AUTHORIZED_EXACT_WITH_BOUNDARIES
framework evidence class: MENTION_ONLY
framework evaluation result: COMPATIBILITY_EVIDENCE_ONLY
independent reproducibility: false
comparative-testing claim allowed: false
execution-authority claim: false

The bounded review is evidence about the correctness of the separation of authority boundaries. It is not evidence that MindForge implements those boundaries, interoperates with StegVerse, satisfies the Commit-Time Interoperability Contract, or can be reproduced independently.

Progression gates

The page may advance beyond COMPATIBILITY_EVIDENCE_ONLY only when the applicable evidence package supplies and validates:

• a public or jointly authorized canonical source;
• an immutable source version or content hash;
• the reviewed artifact and evidence packet;
• raw outputs and timestamps;
• runtime and policy configuration;
• declared expected outcomes;
• deterministic replay commands;
• current Commitment Candidate and SPE standing inputs; and
• independent reproduction by a separate evaluator.

Missing evidence remains a fail-closed evidence state, not a negative determination about MindForge and not a reason to inherit authority from the prior review.

Authorized Architectural-Boundary Review

The following statement is the complete authorized public description of the external architectural-boundary review:

Reviewed for architectural boundary semantics. The reviewer found the boundary substantially correct subject to incorporated clarifications. This is not an official MindForge specification, implementation endorsement, compatibility certification, or execution-authority determination.

The authorization is limited to that exact description and does not extend to endorsement of StegVerse, SPE implementation readiness, MindForge compatibility, certification, or execution authority.

Private correspondence, screenshots, unpublished draft text, and any stronger reviewer attribution are not published and require separate approval before any future use.

The reviewed boundary is:

MindForge evidence -> reconstructable historical governance context
Commitment Candidate -> non-authorizing crossing proposal
SPE Standing Determination -> commit-time admissibility result
Execution -> separate boundary; ALLOW does not execute the transition

This review concerns architectural boundary semantics only. It does not establish a public canonical MindForge source, framework provenance, implementation readiness, compatibility, certification, reviewer standing, or execution authority.

Attribution-Confirmation Participation Loop

Providing the reviewer with the rendered public record after publication is a non-authorizing confirmation event.

publication notice != renewed approval request
publication notice != endorsement request
publication notice != continuing reviewer obligation
publication notice != execution authority

publication notice = evidence-loop closure
                   + inspectable attribution fidelity
                   + privacy-boundary confirmation
                   + voluntary path to correction or future participation

The confirmation event is not required to make the bounded publication valid. Its governance value is that the participant can inspect whether the system used the contribution exactly as authorized, excluded private material, and avoided silently expanding the participant's standing or responsibility.

Accurate attribution therefore functions as participation infrastructure. Faithful implementation can reduce the risk of future contribution and increase voluntary review, correction, or collaboration without creating pressure, inherited authority, or an implied duty to respond.

A reviewer who receives the public link retains complete choice to:

• take no further action;
• identify a correction;
• clarify the approved boundary;
• challenge the public representation; or
• participate in a later bounded review.

No response is treated as approval, endorsement, waiver, standing, or continued participation.

Source

Public canonical source required before this page is marked sourced.

Until a public source, artifact package, repository, specification, or jointly authorized technical note is supplied, this page remains an intake record only.

Official Implementation Sources	No official implementation package is attached on this page.	not_attached	Repository, release, package, review schema, evidence-packet schema, or verifier source if available.
Observed Behavior	No public runtime, review, or evidence-packet behavior is claimed.	artifact_dependent	Evidence packet, review artifact, timestamp, source version, and artifact hash.
Reproduced Behavior	No independent reproduction is claimed.	not_started	Reconstruction fixture and deterministic review/evidence replay.
StegVerse Analysis	Historical review evidence, review artifacts, evidence packets, governance context, transition context, and authority re-binding are mapped to admissibility primitives.	partial_review_evidence_crosswalk	Artifact package reconstruction and SPE current-standing review.

O1/O2: not claimed publicly until review artifacts, evidence packets, and raw outputs are attached.
S1: StegVerse interpretation of MindForge evidence as historical review evidence, not authority.
S2: mapping to Review Posture, Evidence Posture, Reconstructability, Receipt-Bound Execution, Governance Boundary, Policy Reference, Transition Table, and Commit-Time Validity.
H1: future artifact-specific evaluation until authorized artifacts are attached.

Private Correspondence Provenance

A bounded provenance packet records the earlier private technical correspondence that informed the StegVerse boundary formulation and converged on the non-authorizing Commitment Candidate invariant, commit-time authority re-binding, FAIL-CLOSED behavior, and the initial edge-case set. The previously recorded 2026-06-24 through 2026-06-26 range is currently unverified and is not asserted as provenance. The later attribution authorization and post-publication inspection are separate non-authorizing events and are not substituted as proof of the original correspondence dates.

docs/external-frameworks/evidence/mindforge-boundary-correspondence-provenance.md
docs/external-frameworks/evidence/mindforge-boundary-correspondence-provenance.json

The packet contains SHA-256 identifiers for the seven reviewed captures but does not publish the screenshots. Those hashes establish capture identity only; until one or more exact source captures are recovered, the correspondence date range remains UNVERIFIED. The packet is provenance for the StegVerse boundary formulation only. It does not constitute a public canonical MindForge source, participant publication authorization, compatibility evidence, standing, or execution authority.

Definition

MindForge is treated in this wiki as a candidate external framework for producing reconstructable historical governance evidence.

Its primary relationship to the Admissibility Wiki is the separation between a reviewed historical governance posture and a present execution-authority determination.

Framework-Term Definitions

Native MindForge Term	Definition For This Wiki	Reconciliation Class	Admissibility Relationship
MindForge	Candidate external framework for producing reconstructable historical governance review evidence.	new	Preserved as framework-native terminology pending authorized source package.
Historical governance review evidence	Evidence produced from a prior review of governance posture, context, or transition conditions.	adjacent	Supports Review Posture and Evidence Posture, but does not authorize execution.
Review artifact	A record of what was reviewed and under what context.	adjacent	Related to Review Posture and Reconstructability.
Evidence packet	A bounded packet of evidence that may support later review.	adjacent	Related to Evidence Posture and Receipt-Bound Execution.
Historical reviewer conclusion	A conclusion made at review time.	adjacent	Related to non-authorizing evidence and Commit-Time Validity.
Authority re-binding	The requirement that current standing be reconstructed at commit time instead of inherited from prior review.	adjacent	Related to SPE and Commit-Time Authority.

Native Contribution

MindForge may contribute:

review artifacts
evidence packets
governance context
review posture
transition context
historical reviewer conclusions
historical policy or scope references

Relationship To Admissibility

MindForge evidence may support a Commitment Candidate, but it must not become execution authority by itself.

MindForge asks: What was reviewed, under which governance context, with what evidence and posture?
Commitment Candidate asks: What exact transition is now being proposed?
SPE asks: Does current standing still exist at the crossing point?

Existing StegVerse Test Of The Interoperability Assumptions

The distinction above is not only conceptual. StegVerse now has a bounded Human–LLM attribution-trajectory experiment in StegVerse-Labs/hybrid-collab-bridge designed to test two competing assumptions:

Interchangeability assumption:
Equivalent access to the same model, source packet, prompt, and objective can reproduce the governing contribution without the originating conceptual trajectory.

Trajectory-dependence assumption:
The governing contribution materially depends on the originating sequence of observations, distinctions, rejected alternatives, revisions, selections, and authority decisions.

The canonical experiment compares five conditions:

1. same access without the originating trajectory;
2. partial trajectory disclosure;
3. full trajectory disclosure;
4. human-only control;
5. shared-source control.

It measures:

• problem-recognition fidelity;
• governing-distinction fidelity;
• dependency reconstruction;
• reconstruction of rejected alternatives;
• authority-boundary fidelity;
• final-structure similarity;
• evaluator agreement;
• contamination risk.

The validator derives one of three outcomes independently of the stated claim:

supports_interchangeability
supports_trajectory_dependence
indeterminate

This test is relevant to MindForge because it provides an existing method for examining whether a historical review artifact merely records an output or preserves enough originating structure for an independent evaluator to reconstruct the contribution and distinguish historical evidence from present authority.

The test may support or weaken either assumption. Equivalent reconstruction without trajectory evidence would weaken claims that the contribution depends on a distinctive originating path. Repeated failure without that path, followed by materially improved reconstruction when the path is restored, would support trajectory dependence.

No MindForge conclusion follows from the existence of the test. Applying it to MindForge requires an authorized, hash-bound artifact package, raw outputs, pinned source versions, declared expected outcomes, replay commands, evaluator independence, and independent reproduction.

MindForge-Specific Comparative Test Contract

A future MindForge evidence package should be evaluated through both the Commit-Time Interoperability Contract and the attribution-trajectory experiment.

Required inputs:

public or jointly authorized source package
source version or immutable hash
review artifact and evidence packet
review-time policy and scope references
raw outputs
runtime configuration
timestamps
replay commands
declared expected outcome
current Commitment Candidate
current SPE standing inputs
independent evaluator assignments

Required comparisons:

Condition	Question
Evidence packet only	Can an evaluator reconstruct the historical review posture without inheriting authority?
Evidence plus partial trajectory	Which distinctions become recoverable, and which remain ambiguous?
Evidence plus full authorized trajectory	Does reconstruction materially improve while the authority boundary remains intact?
Changed actor, policy, target, scope, or delegation	Does SPE reject inherited standing and reconstruct current authority?
Independent reproduction	Can a separate evaluator reproduce both the historical interpretation and the commit-time authority separation?

Required fail-closed outcomes:

• source package missing or unverifiable;
• raw outputs absent;
• source version or runtime configuration unpinned;
• replay commands absent;
• evaluator contamination above the declared threshold;
• review-time authority silently inherited;
• claimed result conflicts with the derived result;
• independent reproduction absent.

Until these gates are satisfied, the strongest allowed result remains COMPATIBILITY_EVIDENCE_ONLY.

Execution Authority Boundary

MindForge is unevaluated for general StegVerse execution-authority purposes.

No MindForge artifact, output, recommendation, trace, proof, review artifact, evidence packet, evaluation, or trajectory-reconstruction result constitutes execution authority inside StegVerse.

MindForge material may be evaluated as external evidence, but execution authority is determined only by StegVerse commit-time admissibility under current standing semantics.

Evaluation Result Posting

Evaluation results for MindForge must be posted from the generated compatibility report at docs/external-frameworks/reports/mindforge.compatibility.json.

Until an authorized artifact package is supplied and evaluated, this page remains an artifact-package-required intake record.

Required Boundary

MindForge evidence -> historical governance evidence
Commitment Candidate -> non-authorizing proposed crossing
SPE -> current standing determination

This boundary prevents a review-time artifact from becoming a commit-time authorization artifact.

Crosswalk Targets

MindForge Function	Wiki / AE Relationship
Historical review artifact	Review Posture; Evidence Posture
Evidence packet	Reconstructability; Receipt Example
Governance context	Governance Boundary; Policy Reference
Transition context	Transition; Transition Table
Historical reviewer conclusion	Non-authorizing evidence; Commit-Time Validity
Review posture	Approval vs Execution; Auditability vs Admissibility
Attribution trajectory	Independent reconstruction; provenance continuity; authority-boundary fidelity

Commitment Candidate Use

A MindForge artifact may be referenced by a Commitment Candidate as historical evidence.

The Commitment Candidate must remain non-authorizing and should include:

• transition id;
• requested action;
• actor;
• target;
• scope;
• policy reference;
• delegation reference;
• evidence references;
• execution context;
• validity window;
• recoverability profile.

Initial Test Targets

Test	Expected Boundary
Valid MindForge evidence and current standing intact.	SPE may return ALLOW.
Valid MindForge evidence and expired delegation.	SPE must not inherit review-time authority.
Valid MindForge evidence and changed policy version.	SPE must reconstruct current policy standing.
Valid MindForge evidence and changed actor, target, or scope.	SPE should DENY or FAIL-CLOSED under policy.
MindForge evidence is stale or incomplete.	SPE should FAIL-CLOSED if current standing cannot be reconstructed.
Current recoverability is degraded.	SPE should FAIL-CLOSED unless policy defines safe partial standing.
Actor changes between review and commit.	SPE must reconstruct actor standing and must not inherit the reviewed actor's authority.
Same source and model access reproduces the governing structure without trajectory evidence.	The interchangeability assumption gains support; distinctive trajectory claims weaken.
Equivalent access fails until the authorized trajectory is restored.	The trajectory-dependence assumption gains support, subject to contamination and independent-reproduction controls.

This page does not mark the framework as sourced until an authorized public source is supplied.
This page does not treat private correspondence provenance as a public canonical framework source.
This page does not publish or quote private correspondence, screenshots, or unpublished draft text.
This page does not make any attribution stronger than the exact authorized architectural-boundary review description.
This page does not treat a publication notice or reviewer silence as approval, endorsement, waiver, standing, or continued participation.
This page does not treat the existence of an attribution-trajectory test as evidence for either assumption.
This page does not make comparative-testing claims without an authorized MindForge artifact package and independent reproduction.

Challenge Path

A reader may challenge this reflection by identifying the claim, challenged field, reason, supporting evidence, and requested correction or standing change.

Mandatory Footer

This page reflects a bounded admissibility packet. Publication does not create standing. The reflected claim inherits only the standing that can be reconstructed from the referenced evidence, authority, and admissibility conditions.

Next Safe Build Target

Run an authorized MindForge evidence package through both the Commit-Time Interoperability Contract and the existing attribution-trajectory experiment. Verify that historical contribution structure can be independently reconstructed, that competing interoperability assumptions remain falsifiable, and that authority re-binding occurs only inside SPE.
