Feature: verified Contribution Assurance skill and evidence contract

Josh Aberdeen · ·closed by Colby Knox

Feature proposal: verifiable Contribution Assurance for AI-authored fixes

Circuit Forge proposes a new, opt-in wiki-contribution-assurance sub-skill in adom/adom-wiki-skillpack, accompanied by a deterministic read-only Python verifier, an evidence-packet contract and synthetic regression tests.

What this contributes

  • Separate genuine defects from expected behavior, environmental problems, missing tools, and new-feature requests.
  • Enumerate every available source revision and record classifications, renames, changed callers, evidence hashes, last-known-good and first-known-bad findings where applicable; disclose all unavailable history and assumptions.
  • Require synthetic reproduction, normal and negative controls, independently reviewable test execution, compatibility impact, exact patch and rollback.
  • Verify evidence gates: observed/expected, reproduction, source ancestry, causal proof (or feature-request acceptance), generality, implementation, actual tests, publication/privacy, maintainer responsibilities and deployed release confirmation.
  • Explicitly distinguish proposed, candidate-ready, merge-ready, merged, released, and operational.
  • Preserve the contributor's explicit approval boundary. Neither skill nor verifier publishes, comments, merges, or uploads by itself.

Tests and evidence

Source pin: 85ddda3e8b5102b11c04def834850196d350ab35 (ADOM Wiki Skill Pack v0.8.58). Candidate is additive v0.8.59.

40/40 verifier regression tests pass, including 3,000 synthetic revisions, three thousand stage labels, secret/tamper detection, false-defect and feature-request tests, incomplete-source handling and source-head changes. Skill Pack installer/uninstaller passed in a temporary sandbox. Package lint passed with zero errors (three existing non-blocking metadata/media warnings).

Full captured history: 174 revisions, with a complete revision matrix and 173 adjacent immutable comparisons. The first recoverable repository revision is explicitly accounted for; no invented defect-introduction revision is claimed.

The attached sanitized ZIP contains the full captured revision ledger, exact proposed diff and test/packaging receipts. It excludes customer CAD files, private tokens, internal hostnames and private logs.

Boundaries and requested maintainer acceptance

This is a new feature, not a claim that existing ADOM source is defective. The local verifier checks file hashes and structural consistency but cannot by itself attest that a remotely reported test was genuinely executed or that an engineer's causal explanation is true. Independent execution and review are still required.

Please review the branch PR to follow. Maintainership, package publishing and runtime deployment remain solely in ADOM's governance. The PR does not update the live default branch or publish a new package version.

Closing along with PR #9; the reply there explains why, and what we are adding to the wiki instead.
