AIGovern-Cyber POC009: Knowledge and Memory Continuity

Software identifier: 10.5281/zenodo.23614687. Preprint identifier: 10.5281/zenodo.23614714. Local validation and the verified Windows/Ubuntu CI run are described below; identifiers and hosting do not establish independent review.

POC009 investigates scoped computational support and counterevidence across five restarted PD cycles. It combines the actual extracted PD engine, the actual science-domains ERA/KiE computation and a source-derived one-use FFI gate with new public memory/storage adapters. The full native knowledge_verdict remains null and authority_transferred remains false.

The five-cycle question

The numerical task uses IAU 2000 Earth Rotation Angle through sofars::erst::era00, with UT1 Julian date 2400000.5 + 54388.0. The conformance reference is 0.4022837240028158102 radians and the declared tolerance is 1e-12 radians. The model and its published implementation are existing work: IAU SOFA, sofars.

Cycle	Input	Observed behavior in the five-process test
1	Science input missing	Requested scoped inputs; no counterproof created
2	Claim 0 radians	Computed model counterevidence
3	Corrected claim 0.4022837240028158102	Computed model support
4	Repeat claim 0 with a new operation	Retrieved the same negative content; retained another occurrence reference
5	Repeat corrected claim with a new operation	Retrieved the same positive content; retained another occurrence reference

These are two distinct numerical propositions in one case. A supported correction does not erase the earlier countered claim. Repeated computation is not independent evidence. A record's content identity is scoped and checked by full content equality even within a SHA-256 bucket.

Source and new work

• Base provenance: the POC008 PD/codec/storage starting point.
• Science provenance: original ERA evaluation, codecs and KiE predicates; three sofars numerical files retain exact bytes.
• FFI provenance: the source gate, legacy no-write compatibility path and disclosed new helper.
• Adapter provenance: the POC009 storage adaptation. knowledge.rs supplies the new scoped content index.

The legacy sovereign_validate_and_write consumes its handle and returns CompatibilityHold (-8) for valid nonempty input; it does not write knowledge. New with_borrowed_payload consumes the gate and borrows the same pointer/bytes for a callback. A separate owner recomputes and validates before persistence. This is a boundary-specific borrow, not an end-to-end allocation-free pipeline or native authorization.

The index is reconstructed from checked WAL records. Distinct operation records can reference identical content without multiplying unique candidates. The adapter is new POC code, not the complete original KnowledgeVault.

Reproduce

From the capsule root, with Rust/Cargo and Python 3 available, fetch the locked dependencies once and run the offline checks. The recorded local toolchain is Rust 1.98.0 on Windows GNU; CI also exercises Ubuntu. A minimum supported Rust version is not established by these runs.

cargo fetch --locked
cargo test --locked --offline
cargo test --locked --offline --manifest-path dependencies/science-domains/Cargo.toml
cargo build --release --locked --offline

Run the release demonstrations with new output directories outside the capsule. The sibling paths below must not already exist. They collect copied runners, fixture bytes, actual outputs, hashes and result receipts without changing the package.

Windows:

python tools/demo.py --binary target/release/poc009-memory.exe --output-dir ../poc009-demo
python tools/ffi_probe.py --library target/release/poc009_knowledge_memory.dll --output-dir ../poc009-ffi

Linux:

python tools/demo.py --binary target/release/poc009-memory --output-dir ../poc009-demo
python tools/ffi_probe.py --library target/release/libpoc009_knowledge_memory.so --output-dir ../poc009-ffi

The direct command surface is poc009-memory step STORE INPUT.json and poc009-memory inspect STORE CASE. The supplied fixtures are under fixtures/; inspect opens storage and can initialize or repair an eligible incomplete tail.

Local Windows GNU tests on Rust 1.98.0 passed 50 root tests: 32 unit tests (including 12 FFI tests) and 18 integration tests, with zero failed or ignored. The five-process test compared complete operation records and reconstructed memory against a persistent control at every cycle, and compared exact checkpoint bytes against uninterrupted PD execution. Its final index held one positive and one negative content entry, each with two occurrence references, and one missing-evidence event.

Separately, 19 extracted science tests passed, zero failed or ignored, using locked offline dependencies and -Dwarnings; see dependency validation. These are separate suites. Initial regressions exposed JSON float round-trip loss at the equality boundary and CLI storage creation/tail repair before invalid scientific input was rejected. Enabling serde_json's float_roundtrip feature and evaluating input before opening storage corrected them; the rejection checks remain in the suite.

The locked offline release build passed in 21.04 seconds using the direct Cargo, rustc and rustdoc toolchain binaries. The final root run again passed all 50 tests; its integration section took 0.88 seconds. See the final test log and release build log.

The release CLI demonstration separately passed 93 checks across five fresh processes; its result record binds executable, input and output hashes. The actual exported C ABI was called through Python ctypes and passed 17 checks; see the ABI result. Valid nonempty calls to the legacy write export return no-write CompatibilityHold (-8), while invalid/reused handles return their rejection codes. The CLI's new borrowed callback is a distinct Rust interface; the C probe does not demonstrate native knowledge writing. These check counts are separate from the Rust test totals.

GitHub Actions run 40083832092 succeeded on both windows-latest and ubuntu-latest at commit a24736cb28233331ecefc108317e76cf7e1a5ef0. Both jobs passed the root tests, separate science tests, release build, five-process demonstration and actual C ABI probe. This is automated CI evidence for that commit, separate from the local run and from independent review. Saved run metadata, job/step results and selected validation log lines accompany the capsule.

Limits, license and review

Model predicates require supplied UT1 inputs and tolerance; they are not independent physical observation. Missing evidence and equality at the tolerance boundary are not strict counterproofs. Full native admission is excluded. Valid old history may be accepted; source-version binding, finite checkpoint bounds and full replay costs remain material. See CLAIM_BOUNDARY.md.

The capsule uses Apache-2.0, with retained third-party MIT/SOFA notices in the sofars LICENSE and extraction notice. SOFA endorsement is not claimed.

Hugging Face transport verification

The original poc009-public-v0.1.0 tag remains unchanged. Its root manifest reports a .gitattributes mismatch because the Hub added the required ZIP Git LFS rule. The corrected poc009-public-v0.1.0-hf-transport-v1 tag retains that rule and updates the platform manifest, this note, and the workflow's early manifest check. Runtime, scientific source, tests and the canonical release archive are unchanged.

Run python tools/verify_manifest.py to check the files listed in this transport revision. For the exact frozen publication, download the canonical ZIP and check SHA256SUMS. Its SHA-256 is 2fd9e018216e7743e425dc393a6364deae35e37d8cb49f321438433de05b1f88; the manifest inside that ZIP checks the original frozen payload.
