Sources
- Founder brief, 10 October 2026
- What is implemented, unfinished and never claimed.
- Internal automated testing, runtime-policy revision
- The 131 tests of the earlier runtime-policy revision, reproduced offline on a separate pinned Docker build. Runtime policy enforcement checked.
- Internal automated testing, October 10, 2026 (runtime rejection-diagnostics revision)
- 133 of 133 at source revision contour-runtime-status-rejection-v1, run with networking disabled (NetworkMode none before and after, exit 0). The retained test log was checked against its SHA-256 (441d44b4…08c5).
- Internal automated review of the evidence app
- Evidence app review: five findings, each addressed in the current version.
- Specification v1.3
- Internal proposal, including the Kubernetes collector. Not applied, not frozen.
Recorded toolchain
What the experiment runs on
| Component | Version | How it is bound |
|---|---|---|
| ONNX Runtime | 1.23.2 | Signed runtime policy, also pinned by the harness |
| Execution provider | CPUExecutionProvider | Signed runtime policy, this provider only |
| Node.js | 24.19.0 | Harness pin, not in the signed policy |
| Python | 3.12.14 | Recorded and pinned by the harness, not in the signed policy |
Limits
Limits of the evidence
Self-reports
The worker reports what it loaded. Host and worker are trusted.
Structure, not signatures
Opening a trace checks structure only, so an edited, self-consistent trace passes. It is labelled imported.
Synthetic models
No production or customer model has been through it.
One run, in a lab
One recorded run, in a lab that controls no equipment.
Tests
What the tests do not show
133 of 133 is the experiment's runtime rejection-diagnostics revision, run in a pinned, network-disabled harness and reproduced by internal automated testing on October 10, 2026 (Pacific). It supersedes the earlier 131 of 131 at the runtime-policy revision; it is not 133 additional tests. The evidence app's own tests are a separate suite, and no counts are added together.
- Production readiness, a formal product milestone or independent human review
- External signature verification: receipt integrity is covered by signature tests inside the suite
- Heartbeat freshness: the policy's age limit bounds how old an approval may be, not how fresh a report is
- Customer need or demand
- Behaviour with real models, other runtimes or other hardware
- Behaviour under live faults, or speed
- What a machine runs, beyond its worker's report
Build stronger evidence for model releases.
