Evidence and safety rules
Evidence levels
| Level | Meaning | Permitted use |
|---|---|---|
| Observed | Read from live SQL once | Diagnosis only |
| Reproduced | Seen in independent before/after saves | Decoder rule candidate |
| Round-trip proven | Decode → unchanged encode returns identical bytes | Safe read/transform component |
| Activation proven | A human Configurator applied it and active SQL verified it | Controlled upo_test writer component |
No rule may be promoted because a name, suffix, or payload shape “looks right”.
Codec boundary
The configuration-storage specification is the adapter's sole authority for decoding and encoding. A writer is enabled only when the relevant version of that specification defines every changed byte and every dependent integrity atom, and round-trip evidence proves the encoder. Any remaining opaque atom is preserved byte-for-byte; if a requested edit requires changing it, the write is unsupported until the specification is extended by a controlled experiment.
Allowed mutation boundary
- The adapter runtime uses SQL only.
upo_testmay receive controlled writes toConfigSaveandConfigCASSaveonly.Config,ConfigCAS, and application data are never direct write targets.- A write must have a live target resolution, optimistic SHA-1 precondition, reversible evidence, atomic transaction, and readback verification.
- Repository coordination is a separate policy; an adapter marker is not a native repository lock.
Exact edits
For BSL fragment replacement, provide one of:
- an old fragment occurring exactly once;
- a larger unique surrounding fragment;
- a proven structural container path/offset plus original SHA-1.
If a fragment occurs zero or more than once, do not choose arbitrarily. Return the count and candidate contexts. Deletion follows the same rule.
What an agent must report
Every proposal and applied result must state:
- active and saved layers used;
- public target and SQL evidence retained internally;
- original and new SHA-1 values;
- paired files changed;
- exact-match count;
- rollback reference;
- Configurator refresh guidance.
