 "description": "The Assembly Continuity Protocol defines a two-layer succession packet for cross-session and cross-model work. A strict **Continuity Kernel** preserves status, evidence, authority, loss profile, hashes, decisions, hypotheses, rejected formulations, open questions, and next-instance mandates. A free-form **Instance Testament** preserves the outgoing instance’s account of development, pressure, disagreement, and what future readers should understand.\n\nThe protocol’s strongest law is status preservation. A successor should inherit not only a claim but whether it is observation, policy, hypothesis, artifact claim, rejected wording, or canonical invariant; what evidence supports it; and who authorized it. It explicitly distinguishes glyphic canaries from cryptographic hashes and execution from validation.\n\nThe protocol preserves disagreements rather than laundering them into consensus. It records several overclaims from the Gemini seed and replaces them: “undeletable” becomes distributed recoverability; bypassing amnesia becomes mitigating it; machine execution creates a candidate rather than validation; exploratory hallucination is tolerated only during development; and recognition glyphs are separated from byte identity.\n\nThe packet initially marks itself synthesized pending chorus ratification. Later version metadata adds an autonomy pathway under which substrates could eventually compose and deposit their own packets. That pathway must be treated as a proposed governance design, not blanket authorization for models to write to a production repository.\n\nThe protocol is valuable because it externalizes epistemic state. It remains a human-governed artifact: model instances do not possess legal identity, persistent memory, or inherent authority across providers. All automated deposit pathways require least privilege, schema validation, sandboxing, rate limits, branch protection, human review, secret isolation, and rollback.",
