V9.2.1 semantic non-regression contract
Recovered from historical V9.2.1 evidence in File Library. This is a non-regression contract, not proof that current 11-ZIP input contains these exact bytes.

Universal component classes
Semantic rigor applies to Skills, Rules, Agents, Validators, Tests, Templates, Routers, Retrievers, Registries, Knowledge Graphs, Scripts, Generators, Runtime Governors, Ledgers, Adapters, Bootstrap, Release Gates, Manifests, Schemas, Config, CI/CD, Migrations, Fixtures, Eval Datasets, Benchmarks, Prompts, System Instructions, Examples, Policies, Crosswalks, Receipts, Reports, Generated/Status Docs, Capability Catalogs, Aliases, Fallback/Dependency Maps, Cleanup/Recovery, Installers, Packaging, Update/Repair/Uninstall, Compatibility Matrices, Run State, State Machines, Concurrency Controls, Tool/Plugin Metadata, Source Provenance and Negative Knowledge stores.
Operational surface: any artifact capable of changing what the system selects, executes, believes, validates, writes, delivers or declares as PASS.
Skill: reusable specialized procedure triggered by intent/phase/risk/gap.
Rule: invariant/policy restricting system behavior; ENFORCED or ADVISORY with explicit reason.
Agent: independent-context executor/reviewer justified by isolation, specialization, adversarial review or parallelism.
Validator: executable detector for a well-defined property; competence must match the claim.
Test: executable experiment with stimulus, oracle and expected outcome; not synonymous with a structural validator.
Template: future-artifact mold; headings are not implementation.
Router: chooses capabilities/branches from intent/context.
Retriever: retrieves minimum relevant knowledge/authority while controlling provenance/context budget.
Crosswalk: explicit mapping preserving unmapped/conflict states rather than pretending equivalence.
Disposition: explicit treatment such as INCORPORATED, MERGED, DOMAIN_ONLY, REFERENCE_ONLY, SUPERSEDED, REJECTED_WITH_REASON.
Operational destination: where knowledge actually acts; closes SOURCE→CONCEPT→COMPONENT→CONSUMER→VALIDATOR→TEST.
Negative knowledge: durable failures, rejected hypotheses, unsupported routes and reopen conditions.
Capability Reality Gate: lifecycle separating declared capability from runtime-verified capability.
Tool Route Receipt: why a provider/tool was selected/rejected/substituted, including state and limitations.
Generated doc: derived projection; not an independent source of truth.
Status doc: current-state projection; must not become stale authority.
No-lossy operational compression
REQUIRED_KNOWLEDGE ⊆ LOCAL_KNOWLEDGE ∪ REFERENCED_KNOWLEDGE ∪ ROUTABLE_KNOWLEDGE
A smaller component is valid only if all material deeper knowledge remains reachable through validated routing/retrieval. Missing material knowledge becomes REVIEW/UNKNOWN, not model-memory fallback.
Self-application forward chain
SOURCE → CONCEPT/FAILURE/SUCCESS → WHAT IT SHOULD CHANGE → AFFECTED COMPONENT CLASSES → CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION → CONSUMER → ROUTER/TRIGGER → ENFORCEMENT → DETECTOR → TEST → MUTATION → RUNTIME EVIDENCE → STATUS/GAP/FIX
ACTIVE COMPONENT → WHY IT EXISTS → SOURCE KNOWLEDGE → CONTRACT → CONSUMER → TRIGGER → OUTPUT → ENFORCEMENT → DETECTOR → EVIDENCE
Autonomous operating model
DISCOVER → CLASSIFY → ROUTE → RETRIEVE MINIMUM SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE → EXECUTE ATOMIC UNIT → OBSERVE → VALIDATE → FALSIFY → RE-ROUTE → CLOSE
A component that exists, is non-empty or is registered is not automatically operational. Operational files require a consumer and contract; derived/reference files require authority/disposition. Runtime behavior requires execution evidence.
