+# Decision Ledger Integration - Behavior Ledger
+
+**Status**: Active  
+**Version**: 1.0.0  
+**Created**: 2025-01-26  
+**Last Updated**: 2025-01-26

+
+## Entry 1: Initial Decision Ledger Integration
+
+**ID**: `decision-ledger-v1`  
+**Timestamp**: 2025-01-26T00:00:00Z  
+**Status**: Active  
+**Author**: System
+
+### Canonical Behavior
+
+The Decision Ledger Integration provides a mechanism for Praxis applications to:
+
+1. **Define Contracts for Rules/Constraints** with:
+   - Canonical behavior description
+   - Given/When/Then examples that become test vectors
+   - TLA+-friendly invariants or Praxis-level invariants
+   - Explicit assumptions with confidence levels
+   - References to documentation, tickets, and external links
+
+2. **Validate Compliance** at build-time and runtime:
+   - Build-time: `praxis validate` CLI scans registry modules
+   - Runtime: Lightweight validation when registering rules
+   - Structured diagnostics (JSON, console, optional SARIF)
+
+3. **Track Missing Artifacts** as first-class facts:
+   - Fact: `ContractMissing` with ruleId, missing artifacts, severity
+   - Event: `ACKNOWLEDGE_CONTRACT_GAP` for explicit acknowledgment
+   - Rule: Policy enforcement for contract debt
+
+4. **Maintain Immutable History**:
+   - Append-only ledger of behavior changes
+   - Assumption invalidation tracking
+   - Versioned behavior snapshots
+
+### Examples (Given/When/Then)
+
+#### Example 1: Defining a Contract for a Rule
+
+**Given**: A rule `auth.login` that processes login events  
+**When**: Developer defines the contract with behavior, examples, and invariants  
+**Then**: The contract is registered and can be validated
+
+```typescript
+const loginContract = defineContract({
+  ruleId: 'auth.login',
+  behavior: 'Process login events and create user session facts',
+  examples: [
+    {
+      given: 'User provides valid credentials',
+      when: 'LOGIN event is received',
+      then: 'UserSessionCreated fact is emitted'
+    }
+  ],
+  invariants: [
+    'Session must have unique ID',
+    'Session must have timestamp'
+  ],
+  assumptions: [
+    {
+      id: 'assume-unique-username',
+      statement: 'Usernames are unique across the system',
+      confidence: 0.9,
+      justification: 'Standard practice in authentication systems',
+      impacts: ['spec', 'tests']
+    }
+  ],
+  references: [
+    { type: 'doc', url: 'https://docs.example.com/auth' }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+#### Example 2: Build-time Validation
+
+**Given**: A registry with rules and their contracts  
+**When**: `praxis validate` command is run  
+**Then**: Validation report shows contract coverage and gaps
+
+```bash
+$ praxis validate
+✓ auth.login - Contract complete (behavior, examples, tests)
+✗ cart.addItem - Missing: tests
+✗ order.process - Missing: contract
+```
+
+#### Example 3: Runtime Validation
+
+**Given**: A rule without a complete contract  
+**When**: Rule is registered at runtime with `strictContracts: true`  
+**Then**: ContractMissing fact is created and policy can enforce action
+
+```typescript
+const registry = createRegistry({ strictContracts: true });
+registry.registerRule(ruleWithoutContract);
+// ContractMissing fact is emitted
+// Policy may warn, error, or allow based on configuration
+```
+
+#### Example 4: Contract Gap Acknowledgment
+
+**Given**: A missing contract has been identified  
+**When**: Developer acknowledges the gap with justification  
+**Then**: ACKNOWLEDGE_CONTRACT_GAP event is recorded
+
+```typescript
+acknowledgeContractGap({
+  ruleId: 'legacy.process',
+  missing: ['spec', 'tests'],
+  justification: 'Legacy rule to be deprecated in v2.0',
+  expiresAt: '2025-12-31'
+});
+```
+
+### Invariants
+
+1. **Contract Immutability**: Once a contract version is published, its core behavior description cannot be changed; only new versions can be created
+2. **Ledger Append-Only**: The behavior ledger is append-only; entries can be superseded but never deleted
+3. **Assumption Traceability**: Every assumption must have a stable ID and impacts declaration
+4. **Example Completeness**: Every contract must have at least one Given/When/Then example
+5. **Validation Determinism**: Running `praxis validate` multiple times on the same codebase produces identical results
+
+### Assumptions
+
+#### A1: Contract Storage Location
+- **ID**: `assume-contract-in-meta`
+- **Statement**: Contracts are stored in the `meta` field of RuleDescriptor and ConstraintDescriptor
+- **Confidence**: 0.95
+- **Justification**: The existing `meta` field is designed for extensibility and already exists in the Praxis architecture
+- **Derived From**: Analysis of src/core/rules.ts and src/dsl/index.ts
+- **Impacts**: Implementation (contract storage), Tests (contract retrieval)
+- **Status**: Active
+
+#### A2: JSON Serialization
+- **ID**: `assume-json-serializable`
+- **Statement**: All contract data must be JSON-serializable for cross-language compatibility
+- **Confidence**: 1.0
+- **Justification**: Praxis protocol requirement for all data structures
+- **Derived From**: src/core/protocol.ts PRAXIS_PROTOCOL_VERSION documentation
+- **Impacts**: Spec (type definitions), Implementation (contract types)
+- **Status**: Active
+
+#### A3: CLI Extension Pattern
+- **ID**: `assume-commander-pattern`
+- **Statement**: New CLI commands follow the Commander.js pattern established in src/cli/index.ts
+- **Confidence**: 1.0
+- **Justification**: Existing CLI uses Commander.js for all commands
+- **Derived From**: src/cli/index.ts lines 9-12
+- **Impacts**: Implementation (validate command)
+- **Status**: Active
+
+#### A4: Test Framework
+- **ID**: `assume-vitest`
+- **Statement**: Tests use Vitest framework with describe/it/expect pattern
+- **Confidence**: 1.0
+- **Justification**: All existing tests use Vitest
+- **Derived From**: src/__tests__/dsl.test.ts, package.json scripts
+- **Impacts**: Tests (testing approach)
+- **Status**: Active
+
+#### A5: Contract Optional by Default
+- **ID**: `assume-contract-optional`
+- **Statement**: Contracts are optional by default; strict enforcement requires opt-in configuration
+- **Confidence**: 0.85
+- **Justification**: Backward compatibility with existing Praxis code that doesn't have contracts
+- **Derived From**: User requirements for "integration" rather than breaking change
+- **Impacts**: Implementation (validation logic), Tests (default behavior)
+- **Status**: Active

+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Existing Praxis Components
+
+1. **Rules and Constraints** (`src/core/rules.ts`)
+   - Contracts stored in `meta` field of `RuleDescriptor` and `ConstraintDescriptor`
+   - Non-breaking change, fully backward compatible
+
+2. **DSL Helpers** (`src/dsl/index.ts`)
+   - `defineContract()` follows same pattern as `defineRule()` and `defineConstraint()`
+   - Consistent API surface
+
+3. **CLI** (`src/cli/index.ts`)
+   - New `validate` command follows Commander.js patterns
+   - Consistent with existing commands
+
+4. **Main Exports** (`src/index.ts`)
+   - All Decision Ledger types and functions exported
+   - Discoverable through main package import
+
+## Assumptions Validated
+
+All 5 assumptions from the behavior ledger have been validated:
+
+1. ✅ **A1: Contract Storage** - Contracts successfully stored in `meta` field
+2. ✅ **A2: JSON Serialization** - All types JSON-serializable, tested in ledger export/import
+3. ✅ **A3: CLI Pattern** - Validate command follows Commander.js pattern
+4. ✅ **A4: Test Framework** - Tests use Vitest with describe/it/expect
+5. ✅ **A5: Optional Contracts** - Contracts optional by default, strict mode opt-in
+
+## Behavior Coverage
+
+All examples from the behavior ledger are implemented and tested:
+
+- ✅ Example 1: Defining a Contract for a Rule
+- ✅ Example 2: Build-time Validation
+- ✅ Example 3: Runtime Validation
+- ✅ Example 4: Contract Gap Acknowledgment
+
+All invariants are enforced:
+
+- ✅ Contract Immutability (tested)
+- ✅ Ledger Append-Only (tested)
+- ✅ Assumption Traceability (implemented)
+- ✅ Example Completeness (enforced in `defineContract()`)
+- ✅ Validation Determinism (tested)
+
+## Example Output
+
+The decision-ledger example successfully demonstrates:
+
+```
+Contract Validation Report
+==================================================
+
+Total: 3
+Complete: 2
+Incomplete: 1
+Missing: 1
+
+✓ Complete Contracts:
+  ✓ auth.login (v1.0.0)
+  ✓ cart.addItem (v1.0.0)
+
+✗ Incomplete Contracts:
+  ⚠ legacy.process - Missing: contract
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- No secrets or sensitive data in contracts
+- All validation is deterministic and side-effect-free
+- SARIF output compatible with GitHub Security scanning
+- No network dependencies
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+- Validation is O(n) where n = number of rules/constraints
+- Ledger queries are O(n) for full scans, O(1) for ID lookups
+- JSON serialization/deserialization is efficient
+- No memory leaks detected in tests
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+While the implementation is complete, potential future enhancements could include:
+
+1. **Schema-based contract generation** - Auto-generate contracts from schemas
+2. **Test generation from examples** - Generate test stubs from Given/When/Then
+3. **Assumption validation** - Check if assumptions are still valid
+4. **Contract coverage metrics** - Detailed metrics and trends
+5. **Integration with TLA+ model checker** - Automated property verification
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The Decision Ledger Integration is **production-ready** and provides:
+
+- ✅ Contract-based documentation for rules and constraints
+- ✅ Build-time and runtime validation
+- ✅ Immutable behavior ledger with version tracking
+- ✅ CLI integration with CI/CD support
+- ✅ Comprehensive test coverage
+- ✅ Complete documentation and examples
+- ✅ Backward compatibility with existing Praxis code
+
+The implementation follows the behavior-first approach with a complete behavior ledger, TLA+ specification, tests, and implementation code—all traceable to the canonical behavior specification.
