# Evidence integrity policy
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Apply the [ASD-STE100 technical-English policy](../../../TECHNICAL_ENGLISH.md) to all English technical
|
|
4
|
+
prose in this document.
|
|
5
|
+
|
|
6
|
+
This policy is binding on each human and agent contribution to Athena.
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+
The governing rule has two parts: **A truthful failure is acceptable. Invented success is not
|
|
9
|
+
acceptable.**
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
1. Do not create or change a log, metric, benchmark, test result, or release result to represent a
|
|
12
|
+
run that did not occur.
|
|
13
|
+
2. Do not treat a committed result file as independent evidence.
|
|
14
|
+
3. Prefer a continuous integration (CI) artifact or an independent run of the command from the
|
|
15
|
+
reviewed revision.
|
|
16
|
+
4. Bind each claim to this information:
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
- a reproducible command;
|
|
19
|
+
- an immutable revision;
|
|
20
|
+
- the relevant environment;
|
|
21
|
+
- the exit status; and
|
|
22
|
+
- the unedited output.
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
5. If evidence collection cannot finish in the active session, separate it from the implementation.
|
|
25
|
+
6. If evidence collection cannot finish in the active session, supply the runnable command.
|
|
26
|
+
7. If evidence collection cannot finish in the active session, report accurately that the run is
|
|
27
|
+
not complete.
|
|
28
|
+
8. If you cannot get a measurement, report this information:
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
- what you tried;
|
|
31
|
+
- why the attempt failed or timed out; and
|
|
32
|
+
- the action that can get the measurement.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
9. Do not use a plausible estimate as a fact when a measurement is not available.
|
|
35
|
+
10. If the path that produces the evidence cannot emit the claimed format, reviewers must reject the
|
|
36
|
+
evidence.
|
|
37
|
+
11. If the timestamp, revision, environment, or CI identity cannot be reconciled with the claim,
|
|
38
|
+
reviewers must reject the evidence.
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
The `repo-review` and `pr-review` skills enforce this policy.

# Engineering principles
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
This catalog is Athena's single inventory of engineering principles. Each stable `P` identifier has
|
|
4
|
+
one canonical name and one short decision rule. The linked detail page has the definition,
|
|
5
|
+
boundaries, examples, relationships, and sources. Skills have links to these anchors and show only how the
|
|
6
|
+
principle changes a skill's workflow.
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+
Identifiers are permanent. For each new principle, add a new identifier at the end. Do not change
|
|
9
|
+
current numbers.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
## Language standard
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
Use the [ASD-STE100 technical-English policy](../../../TECHNICAL_ENGLISH.md) for descriptive and
|
|
14
|
+
procedural prose in this catalog. Use the
|
|
15
|
+
[current official standard](https://www.asd-ste100.org/STE_downloads.html) as the authority.
|
|
16
|
+
Each decision rule is for all programming languages.
|
|
17
|
+
Each detail page has a diagram and equivalent examples in Python and Rust.
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
Code, identifiers, formal titles, URLs, and quotations are technical or quoted content. Source titles
|
|
20
|
+
keep their official wording. The standard lets authors use technical nouns and technical verbs for the subject
|
|
21
|
+
field. Each diagram uses neutral system terms. The code examples show two possible implementations.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
Each `References` section has annotated sources for source information, applicable information, and
|
|
24
|
+
more information.
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
## Authority and precedence
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
These principles are decision rules. They do not give authority. System and user instructions,
|
|
29
|
+
repository policy, security and evidence controls, and the active skill's explicit contract have
|
|
30
|
+
precedence. A principle cannot increase task scope, tool permissions, write boundaries, or approval.
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
When principles give different directions, find the requirement and risk category. Obey the most
|
|
33
|
+
applicable contract. Select the narrowest action that evidence shows is necessary.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
A redundant prompt is not necessary for a scoped constructive action that the user and repository
|
|
36
|
+
authorize. Action-bound approval continues to be necessary for destructive, privileged, or
|
|
37
|
+
ungranted high-impact actions. A different party does an independent review. The party must have
|
|
38
|
+
qualifications sufficient for the risk. Human review is necessary only when applicable policy specifies
|
|
39
|
+
a human.
|
|
40
|

|
|
41
|
+

# P001 — KISS
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
## Definition
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
For **KISS** (also *Keep It Simple, Stupid*), a design must have only the minimum complexity
|
|
6
|
+
necessary to obey specified requirements. Indirection, abstraction, configuration, concurrency,
|
|
7
|
+
infrastructure, and process have costs. Each element must give clear value.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
## Provenance
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
**Classification:** practitioner heuristic.
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
Many sources connect the phrase to aircraft engineer Kelly Johnson. No source from the same time
|
|
14
|
+
shows the wording or attribution. The idea was in engineering before software. Athena puts KISS in the
|
|
15
|
+
practitioner-heuristic category because no evidence shows one author.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
## Decision rule
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
Select the simplest design that obeys current requirements. The design must be correct and keep
|
|
20
|
+
security. It must operate correctly for all necessary behavior. For each more complex design, find the
|
|
21
|
+
requirement or measured constraint that makes its complexity necessary.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
## How to apply
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
- Start with the shortest path from input to the necessary outcome.
|
|
26
|
+
- Count concepts and duties in operation, not only lines of code.
|
|
27
|
+
- Use current language and repository mechanisms. Do not use a custom framework without a requirement.
|
|
28
|
+
- Remove layers that only send data or policy without a boundary that gives value.
|
|
29
|
+
- After tests show the behavioral cases, examine simplicity again.

|
42
|
+
## Language examples
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
The two examples use one simple branch for all parts of the requirement.
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
```python
|
|
47
|
+
def status_label(active: bool) -> str:
|
|
48
|
+
if active:
|
|
49
|
+
return "active"
|
|
50
|
+
return "inactive"
|
|
51
|
+
```
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
```rust
|
|
54
|
+
fn status_label(active: bool) -> &'static str {
|
|
55
|
+
if active {
|
|
56
|
+
"active"
|
|
57
|
+
} else {
|
|
58
|
+
"inactive"
|
|
59
|
+
}
|
|
60
|
+
}
|
|
61
|
+
```
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
## Boundaries and tensions
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
Simplicity does not mean short or temporarily easy. A simple design can be new to personnel. A short implementation can hide state,
|
|
66
|
+
remove validation, decrease the protection from validation, decrease validation coverage, or move
|
|
67
|
+
complexity to callers. Such an implementation does not decrease system
|
|
68
|
+
complexity. Necessary compatibility, security, reliability, and explicit contracts are more important than
|
|
69
|
+
KISS.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
[P002 YAGNI](p002-yagni.md) and
|
|
72
|
+
[P007 Subtraction Over Addition](p007-subtraction-over-addition.md) give related rules for KISS.
|
|
73
|
+
[P008 Understand Before Subtracting](p008-understand-before-subtracting.md) prevents deletion
|
|
74
|
+
without sufficient evidence.
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
## Examples
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
**Positive:** A command with two specified modes uses a small explicit branch and does not use a plug-in
|
|
79
|
+
framework. The only consumers of such a framework are those modes.
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
**Misuse:** A contributor removes validation and error context. The function becomes shorter, but
|
|
82
|
+
failure semantics move to each caller.
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
**Athena/agent workflow:** An agent selects the narrow documentation edit and current validation
|
|
85
|
+
commands. The agent does not add a generator or registry only for the edit.
