129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,

161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163

+ # FABLE5 Assurance Toolkit
20
+
21
+ FABLE5 is a local, deterministic command-line toolkit for applying assurance
22
+ and conformance controls to AI-assisted software-engineering workflows. It
23
+ turns structured task inputs, governance packs, terminal states, corpus
24
+ manifests, handoffs, closeouts, and evaluation records into reproducible
25
+ findings that humans and automation can inspect.
26
+
27
+ AI-assisted changes can move faster than the evidence needed to review them.
28
+ FABLE5 makes selected behavioral contracts explicit and repeatable without a
29
+ hosted service, background agent, network call, or model invocation. It
30
+ complements tests and human review; it does not replace either or make release
31
+ decisions.
32
+
33
+ ## Quick start
34
+
35
+ FABLE5 requires Python 3.11 or newer and has no non-standard-library Python
36
+ runtime dependencies. For the checkout-based examples below, run commands from
37
+ the repository root. Install it in an isolated environment:
38
+
39
+ ```sh
40
+ python3 -m venv .venv
41
+ . .venv/bin/activate
42
+ python -m pip install .
43
+ assurance --version
44
+ assurance --help
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ Run a deterministic governance-pack check against the included fixture:
48
+
49
+ ```sh
50
+ assurance check fixtures/governance/valid-pack.json --format json
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ For authorization-bearing `check`, `guard`, and `closeout` inputs, the caller
54
+ supplies the expected identity with `--authority-id <IDENTITY>`. Leading and
55
+ trailing whitespace is ignored; the remaining identifier is compared exactly
56
+ and case-sensitively. This is an out-of-band caller input; the document being
57
+ validated cannot set or override it. Read-only validation does not require an
58
+ authority ID.
59
+
60
+ For repository-only development without installation, use:
61
+
62
+ ```sh
63
+ PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m assurance_toolkit --version
64
+ PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m assurance_toolkit --help
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ Run the complete test suite:
68
+
69
+ ```sh
70
+ PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 PYTHONPATH=src \
71
+ python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ Use `--format json` when another tool or AI agent will consume the result. Run
75
+ `python3 -m assurance_toolkit <command> --help` for command-specific options.
76
+
77
+ ## Start here: choose a command
78
+
79
+ | If you need to… | Start with |
80
+ | --- | --- |

88
+ The commands report bounded evidence. They do not authorize a change, decide a
89
+ merge, or replace human review.
90
+
91
+ For an already accepted corpus manifest, bind verification to its exact raw
92
+ bytes as well as its semantic records:
93
+
94
+ ```sh
95
+ assurance corpus verify MANIFEST \
96
+ --accepted-manifest-sha256 SHA256 \
97
+ --format json
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ The accepted SHA-256 is caller supplied. It anchors the exact manifest bytes
101
+ and therefore the recorded scope declaration; it does not prove that the
102
+ chosen roots or exclusions are complete, optimal, or authorized.
103
+
104
+ Corpus manifests bind sources to the absolute filesystem paths recorded at
105
+ freeze time. Verification expects those paths to keep identifying the intended
106
+ sources; a manifest is not a portable "freeze on one machine, verify under a
107
+ different layout" artifact. Manifests also disclose absolute paths and
108
+ per-file hashes, so do not publish sensitive manifests verbatim or freeze
109
+ credential-bearing roots.
110
+
111
+ `--exclude` uses path containment/prefix semantics, not shell glob matching.
112
+ With `--detect-new`, current normal verification reports
113
+ `CI10_NEW_SOURCE_DETECTED` as `WARN`; when it is the only finding, the process
114
+ still exits `0`. Consumers that need new-file gating must inspect structured
115
+ findings as well as the process exit status.
116
+
117
+ ## CLI output and exit contract
118
+
119
+ The normative, machine-readable contract is
120
+ [`contracts/schemas/CLI_OUTPUT_CONTRACT.json`](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/contracts/schemas/CLI_OUTPUT_CONTRACT.json).
121
+ It distinguishes ModuleResult JSON, CLI parse-failure JSON, argparse usage
122
+ text, help/version text, and the existing synthetic-pilot JSON shape. In
123
+ particular, parse-failure JSON uses the command string as `module_id` and
124
+ `recovery-1` as `rule_set_version`; argparse usage failures emit no JSON.
125
+
126
+ | Exit | Meaning |
127
+ | --- | --- |
128
+ | 0 | PASS or successful non-error command |
129
+ | 1 | generic FAIL |
130
+ | 2 | input/invocation-class FAIL |
131
+ | 3 | generic HOLD |
132
+ | 4 | integrity-family HOLD |
133
+ | 5 | terminal/target-family HOLD |
134
+
135
+ For structured module outcomes, finding severity first determines whether the
136
+ outcome is blocking: `ERROR` and `HOLD` block, while `WARN` and `INFO` do not
137
+ block under the normal profile. `--profile strict` can promote `WARN` to
138
+ effective blocking for the final decision without changing the serialized
139
+ finding's severity label. A non-blocking finding does not select a nonzero exit
140
+ solely because its prefix belongs to an exit family.
141
+
142
+ For effectively blocking module outcomes, PM-03 normally applies the
143
+ terminal-family exit floor/pin and PM-04 normally applies the integrity-family
144
+ exit floor/pin, subject to explicit decision exceptions published in the
145
+ normative CLI contract. This module-selected effective exit family is distinct
146
+ from the family suggested by an individual finding prefix. After severity,
147
+ profile promotion, any module floor/pin, and any exact exception are resolved,
148
+ precedence remains
149
+ `terminal(5) > integrity(4) > HOLD-severity(3) > input-class(2) > generic(1)`.
150
+ The table above is a summary; consumers that need exact decision behavior must
151
+ use the normative JSON contract.
152
+
153
+ This build publishes the current output/exit contract, not the complete
154
+ current-generation input contract needed to reauthor every preserved A1 case.
155
+ A1 remains predecessor-generation evidence only, not a current release gate,
156
+ compatibility claim, or adoption claim. Any future reactivation requires
157
+ sufficient normative input and output authority plus fresh execution and
158
+ discriminating-power evidence.
159
+
160
+ ## Try the end-to-end example
161
+
162
+ Run a deterministic walkthrough that surrounds a simulated agent-generated
163
+ change with risk, integrity, and handoff evidence:
164
+
165
+ ```sh
166
+ ./examples/agent-change-assurance/run.sh
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ The example is local, network-free, self-cleaning, and leaves acceptance to a
170
+ human reviewer. See the [example guide](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/examples/agent-change-assurance/README.md)
171
+ for the expected flow and claim boundaries.
172
+
173
+ ## Try a machine-consumer integration
174
+
175
+ From the repository root, run:
176
+
177
+ ```sh
178
+ python3 examples/machine-consumer/run.py
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ This small, disposable example creates a bounded source set, consumes JSON
182
+ from `corpus verify --detect-new`, and takes a review branch when a nonblocking
183
+ `WARN` finding is present even though the process exit is `0`. It demonstrates
184
+ why a consumer must inspect structured findings rather than branch on exit
185
+ status alone. See the [machine-consumer guide](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/examples/machine-consumer/README.md).
186
+
187
+ ## Modules
188
+
189
+ | Module | CLI surface | Purpose |
190
+ | --- | --- | --- |
191
+ | PM-01 Risk Router | `classify` | Classifies task risk from the effects of a proposed action. |
192
+ | PM-02 Governance Pack Validator | `check` | Validates structured claims, decisions, actions, and exact source references. |
193
+ | PM-03 Terminal State and Artifact Guard | `guard` | Performs a read-only preflight for terminal-state and target-collision conditions. |
194
+ | PM-04 Corpus Integrity Guard | `corpus freeze`, `corpus verify` | Creates and verifies bounded, hash-addressed corpus manifests. |
195
+ | PM-05 Handoff and Closeout Validator | `handoff`, `closeout` | Checks handoff carriers and closeout records against explicit contracts. |
196
+ | PM-06 Successor Evaluation Harness | `eval prepare`, `eval score` | Prepares preserved evaluation cases and scores externally supplied judgments. |
197
+
198
+ The `pilot run` surface provides four synthetic pilots (`A`, `B`, `C1`, and
199
+ `C2`) for exercising selected module interactions inside a newly supplied
200
+ disposable root. Pilot C2 is the only pilot-local writer that demonstrates an
201
+ atomic no-clobber seam; it is not reachable from ordinary project workflows.
202
+
203
+ ## Design properties
204
+
205
+ - **Deterministic:** rules, findings, ordering, and output formats are designed
206
+ for repeatable inspection from the same bounded inputs.
207
+ - **Local-first and network-free:** the core modules use only the Python
208
+ standard library and do not contact remote services. Synthetic Pilot B uses
209
+ an already installed local Git executable as its test subject with hooks and
210
+ user/system configuration disabled.
211
+ - **Explicit contracts:** versioned schemas, identities, fixtures, and
212
+ evaluation records keep behavioral expectations reviewable in the
213
+ repository.
214
+ - **Fail-closed parsing:** malformed or incomplete inputs produce structured
215
+ failure findings instead of implied success.
216
+ - **Bounded side effects:** validation and guard surfaces are read-only;
217
+ artifact-producing commands require explicit destinations, and synthetic
218
+ pilot writes are confined to a caller-supplied disposable root.
219
+ - **No hidden control plane:** there is no daemon, database, web UI, installed
220
+ hook, automatic model call, semantic auto-score, or automatic promotion path.

225
+ boundaries. Read [validated workflows](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/docs/VALIDATED_WORKFLOWS.md) for two

+ bounded, maintainer-controlled downstream cases and their claim limits.
227
+
228
+ ## AI-agent and maintainer workflow
229
+
230
+ 1. A human or automation supplies a bounded input and chooses the applicable
231
+ FABLE5 command and profile.
232
+ 2. An AI agent or CI job runs the command, preserves its structured output, and
233
+ treats nonzero exit codes and findings as review evidence.
234
+ 3. The submitter runs the test suite and explains any intentional behavioral
235
+ contract change in the pull request.
236
+ 4. A maintainer reviews the code, tests, deterministic output, compatibility,
237
+ and security impact before deciding whether to merge or release.
238
+
239
+ FABLE5 reports on the contracts it implements. It does not establish business
240
+ truth, infer authorization, approve its own changes, or promote a candidate to
241
+ production. Those decisions remain with people responsible for the project.
242

+ ## Project status and provenance
244

245
+ ```text
246
+ PRODUCT_VERSION=0.3.0-recovery.5
247
+ PYTHON_DISTRIBUTION_VERSION=0.3.0rc5
248

+ LINEAGE_ID=FABLE5-ASSURANCE-TOOLKIT-FULL-FUNCTIONAL-RECOVERY-20260713
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+ This repository is a clean-room functional reconstruction under a new Git
253
+ lineage, based on accepted architecture, contracts, sanitized fixtures, tests,
254
+ and pilot requirements. It claims continuity of the accepted functional
255
+ contract, not recovery of historical source bytes, commits, or tags. The
256
+ `v0.3.0-recovery.1` tag identifies the first recovery candidate in the
257
+ reconstructed lineage; `v0.3.0-recovery.2` records the subsequent public
258
+ open-source surface hardening; `v0.3.0-recovery.3` generalizes the public
259
+ authorization contract for external maintainers; and `v0.3.0-recovery.4`
260
+ publishes the current contract hardening and consumer guidance. The prepared
261
+ `v0.3.0-recovery.5` release adds first-run navigation, validated
262
+ maintainer-controlled workflow summaries, a runnable machine-consumer path,
263
+ and PEP 517 distribution metadata; it does not itself publish a package.
264
+
265
+ The current status means the six modules and public interface have been
266
+ reconstructed and mechanically tested. Bounded independent review exists for
267
+ the current contract/runtime correction; this is not a claim of comprehensive
268
+ independent review, user acceptance, external validation, canonical promotion,
269
+ production readiness, or ecosystem adoption. See
270
+ [status semantics](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/docs/STATUS_SEMANTICS.md) and
271
+ [recovery lineage](https://github.com/dormitivegit/fable5-assurance-toolkit/blob/main/docs/RECOVERY_LINEAGE.md) for the precise claims.
