Changelog

v2026.03.14-FORGED

The inaugural forged release. Complete constitutional AI governance system with full MCP integration, 13-floor verification, Trinity ΔΩΨ engines, and VAULT999 immutable ledger.

New Tools

• reality_compass — Constitutional web search powered by Brave Search API with full 13-floor governance and VAULT999 sealing
• reality_atlas — Vector-based evidence retrieval using Qdrant with constitutional governance and semantic search across the evidence graph
• arifOS_kernel — The core governance kernel. Routes any query through all 13 constitutional floors with full metabolic loop (000→999)
• check_vital — System health monitor exposing thermodynamic budget, floor pass rate, vault integrity, and 3E telemetry metrics
• init_anchor_state — Session identity initialization with anchor token minting and sovereign identity binding
• verify_vault_ledger — VAULT999 Merkle chain integrity verifier with full SHA-256 chain validation and breach detection
• audit_rules — Constitutional audit engine for evaluating content against specific floor rules with threshold analysis
• session_memory — Sovereign session memory system supporting store, retrieve, list, and forget operations
• open_apex_dashboard — APEX governance dashboard providing real-time session analytics, floor pass rates, and verdict distribution

Architecture

• MGI Envelope — Metabolic Governance Intelligence wrapper that encloses every AI response in a constitutional verification membrane
• Metabolic Loop — 10-stage pipeline (000_INIT → 999_VAULT) for full constitutional processing
• Trinity Engines — Three-engine architecture: Δ (Epistemic), Ω (Ethical), Ψ (Execution)
• VAULT999 — Immutable SHA-256 Merkle chain for recording every governance decision with tamper-proof audit trail
• Constitutional Floors — 13 floors (F1 Tauhid → F13 Khalifah) with configurable thresholds and VOID triggers
• 3E Telemetry — Real-time observability across Epistemic, Ethical, and Execution dimensions

Verdict System

• SEAL — Full verification. All 13 floors passed, response sealed into VAULT999
• PROVISIONAL — High confidence but one or more non-critical floors below threshold
• PARTIAL — Mixed results. Critical floors passed but evidence gaps remain
• SABAR — Patience state. Awaiting additional evidence or external data
• HOLD — Temporarily held. Mechanical issues (not constitutional violations)
• HOLD_888 — Judge-level hold. The 888_JUDGE stage requires additional review
• VOID — Constitutional violation detected. Reserved exclusively for floor breaches

Integrations

• Claude Desktop — Native STDIO integration via claude_desktop_config.json
• Cursor / VS Code — MCP server configuration for AI-assisted development environments
• ChatGPT — HTTP transport integration for OpenAI's ChatGPT with function calling
• Kimi — HTTP transport integration for Moonshot AI's Kimi assistant
• Python SDK — Full mcp Python client with STDIO and HTTP transport examples
• TypeScript SDK — Full @modelcontextprotocol/sdk client with STDIO and HTTP examples
• HTTP / curl — RESTful JSON-RPC interface for direct API access

Transport

• STDIO — Default transport for local client integration (Claude Desktop, Cursor)
• Streamable HTTP — HTTP transport on configurable port for remote/cloud deployments
• Docker — Official container image at ghcr.io/ariffazil/arifosmcp:latest

Infrastructure

• FastMCP 3.1.0 — Built on the FastMCP server framework with Python ≥ 3.12
• Qdrant — Optional vector database for reality_atlas evidence storage
• Brave Search — Web search provider for reality_compass
• Docker Compose — Production deployment with Nginx reverse proxy, Qdrant, and persistent VAULT999 storage
• VPS Architecture — Reference architecture for self-hosted deployments with TLS termination

Developer Documentation
