# MEOK — consolidated receiver release and onward execution plan

**10 November 2026 · Research release · Deployed receiver UI: `8339ca14e40024b166d5235f74845118aab6b8f6`**

## Decision and completed result

The next improvement was not another model merge or training run. A real browser reproduced a trust-relevant display defect: after a successful synthetic specialist review, a tampered new request was correctly refused by the backend, but the old successful event remained visible. This release fixes that presentation mismatch while retaining the existing categorical receiver, named MCP contracts, model weights, chat, Academy, Memory Venturi, privacy and authority boundaries.

The receiver now clears visible output when input changes, replaces a failed attempt with an explicit refusal, binds a displayed result to the exact submitted UTF-8 request hash, and suppresses a delayed result when its input no longer matches. No successful historical record is silently presented as a successful current attempt. The JSON display is accessible as a complete read-only textbox instead of requiring the test driver to reconstruct CodeMirror's virtualized content.

The original receiver and its MCP refusal semantics are unchanged. The UI wrapper is a presentation layer, not a new authority system or canonical evidence schema. Valid results still contain the original `csoai.evidence-event/0.1` with PARTIAL state, null measured value and no signature. Caller-supplied pins and current source context are still not authenticated by the receiver.

## Verified release record

| Verification | Actual result | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Combined runtime regression | 211 tests passed: 193 retained plus 18 new presentation cases | Expensive model providers are substituted in unit/UI tests |
| Local browser workflow | 10 checks passed with actual receiver and an injected 0.35-second response delay | Localhost qualification, not HF-hosted acceptance |
| Hosted private browser workflow | 12 checks passed on exact revision `8339ca14…` | Known HF badge `split()` error retained; not universal zero-error browsing |
| Authenticated live MCP | 14 read-only calls; 19 assertions passed; eight specific refusal reasons verified | Zero model-provider calls and no execution authority |
| Tool preservation | All 20 existing tools remained discoverable | Discovery is not approval to execute consequential tools |
| Original public v0.3 replay | 38 checks passed over 7,200 inference evaluations; 14 inputs/source artifacts hash-checked | Re-evaluation of published synthetic banks, not new training |

The live negative controls distinguish genuine refusal from an unrelated transport failure. They check the expected reason for altered artifact bytes, rehashed stale dependencies, expiry, incomplete dependencies, mismatched vector dimensions, reordered labels, caller-clock backdating and duplicated components. Valid input recovers after those refusals, while tied predictions abstain.

The prior browser attempt is not rewritten as a success. It had a driver limitation: parsing only rendered CodeMirror lines missed a valid complete server result. The separately reproduced stale-success display defect was real. Both distinctions are retained in the evidence record.

## Runtime incident and recovery

Before the source patch was committed, the private Space reported `RUNTIME_ERROR` during the `hf-mount` initialization step. The repository still had the preceding source revision. This lane confirmed that its attempted write had not completed, retained the incident, and did not detach a bucket, alter mount settings, restart services, change hardware, or inspect saved private data.

A later read showed the original Space running again at the unchanged source revision. The patch was then published using an exact-parent commit check. Its new source and serving revisions matched during both live acceptance suites. Recovery was observed; this lane does not claim to have diagnosed or repaired the underlying mount service.

## Consolidation of the existing work

**Process model and numerical experiments.** The published 980-parameter synthetic model remains separate from Cosmos. The retained fitted-head candidate changes 68 output parameters while freezing 912; its prior synthetic mean-error improvement is not permission to promote it. The roughly 75-percentage-point original-bank tail failure remains visible. The public v0.3 application and its six retained checkpoints were replayed again, without fitting or selecting anything new.

**Cosmos experiment.** Read-only Hugging Face inspection confirmed that job `csoai/6af283e79737d9a9e08ecbaa` remains COMPLETED, finishing at 02:46:17.025 UTC on 10 November. The retained report records 12 updates and the small 3/8-to-5/8 exact-match change previously explained by constant-label collapse. This pass did not relaunch, retry, upgrade, train or promote it. The two earlier environment-setup failures remain failures, not extra successful experiments.

**Receiver and model ownership.** Canonical component joining remains Council PR #4180 at `37edcea4dba1f7e42ad686f95e9d4860b64aeb38`; the current review head reported by its owner is tree-identical to that source. Model/data/Memory Venturi/Academy work remains #4176. No protected branch was merged. Continuous process-state vectors remain different from categorical predictions.

**Academy and human oversight.** Existing Academy and scoped-learning changes were preserved. A catalogue response was exercised through the live MCP interface. Quiz points, a reading record or an artifact-compatible prediction do not establish identity, a human appointment, training consent or action approval. No review answers or private conversations were exported into training.

**EAT, SovSpace and broader coverage.** The existing source inventory, dependency handoff and 34-axis relevance register remain research inputs. This release does not relabel 100 discovered repositories as 100 audited integrations, or 34 axis names as 34 new measurements. Graph retirement, evidence append, complete dependency traversal and trusted source/access adapters remain with their existing owners.

**Capability consolidation.** The active capability/benchmark lane declared separate development of a bounded arithmetic component and the master public methods/navigation. This receiver lane did not duplicate that experiment or alter its prior 219-request diagnostic bank. That handoff reports substantial capability failures and SWE-bench NOT RUN; neither is hidden by this release's successful software-contract tests. Own-product diagnostics remain distinct from a neutral public GSPC ranking.

## Ordered onward moves and their consequences

The machine-readable `next-steps.json` is an acyclic, dependency-ordered plan. It is not a new scheduler, a grant of authority, or a promise that unexecuted steps have completed.

### P0–P1: preserve a stable host and finish the receiver boundary

Keep source/runtime identity, private visibility, resource limits and storage health as preconditions for writes. The request-bound display fix and live qualification are complete. Publish its evidence once and let the existing master-publication lane link it rather than create another dashboard or receiver.

**Consequence:** reviewers can tell the current attempt from historical success, and other components can reuse the same qualified receiver rather than inventing a competing adapter.

### P2: replace caller declarations with trusted host context

Use the existing authenticated source/access owners to supply expected artifact pins, policy and source generations. Recheck expiry, revocation, tenant isolation and complete dependency coverage at use. Do not treat a caller's checksum or source timestamp as an authenticated trust root.

**Acceptance:** a caller cannot substitute the trusted expected identity; stale generations, revoked access and incomplete impact are refused. Existing authority and event schemas remain canonical.

**Consequence:** content integrity can become a meaningful part of a trusted workflow, instead of only checking that self-supplied statements agree.

### P3: complete one harmless approval-to-effect journey

An enrolled, authenticated human approves one exact harmless action; the executor checks scope, expiry, revocation and replay; an independent observer confirms the effect; a separate reader reproduces receipt verification. Review-compatible predictions never bypass these steps.

**Consequence:** this supplies the missing evidence of real governed effect. It is more valuable than adding another nominal agent, axis or council member without authenticated control.

### P4: improve capabilities using separate development and fresh evaluation

The capability/model owners retain the prior diagnostics and failures unchanged. New policies, tools or fitting use separate development material, and any selected candidate is frozen before fresh evaluation. Report attempted requests, invalid-output coverage, error distributions and worst failures—not parsed-only accuracy. Preserve the original model as fallback until the acceptance gates are met.

**Consequence:** genuine task improvement becomes distinguishable from test-set tuning, relabelled coverage or a change in output formatting.

### P5: measure the real serving configuration and whole-job cost

Bind model, tokenizer, adapter, precision, runtime/kernel, prompt, sampling, cache generation and relevant KV-cache state. Use paired, randomized/interleaved cold and warm trials. Include loading, transfer, decoding, validation, failures and retries in the declared boundary. Leave energy null unless it is measured. Keep the no-new-paid-compute constraint; resource preflight is not a reason to start an unapproved GPU.

StrataFlux's primary abstract, dated 5 November 2026, motivates co-measuring precision delivery, quality and compute. It does not turn the small decoded-MLP experiment into a reproduction of GPU streaming or transformer-cache behaviour.

**Consequence:** optimization can target cost per correct accepted result, rather than celebrating smaller files or cache hits that return stale answers.

### P6: qualify inference proofs only within their real scope

FlashProve is relevant to proving committed-model computation. Its primary release is intermediate research, not a drop-in proof for any third-party API output. A supported existing host, trusted commitment, locally constructed public inputs and exact verifier verdict are prerequisites. The previous compiler/resource preflight remains unqualified; no proof execution is claimed here.

**Consequence:** a compatible proof may strengthen computation provenance, while answer correctness, data rights and human authorization remain separate questions.

### P7: broader publication and promotion only after the missing gates

The source/release owners reconcile exact canonical revisions, privacy, licences, independent reproduction and real action evidence before broader promotion. Admit applicable measurements through their existing per-axis rules. Keep declared, measured, proposed, failed, held and untested states distinct. The current patch closes its presentation defect; it does not finish a production OOWM platform, all industries, a distributed BFT deployment, COBOL mainframe integration or ASI/RSI.

## What is and is not complete

Completed: the reproduced UI defect is fixed in source, deployed to the existing private workspace, and exercised through local and hosted browsers; named MCP contracts are preserved; the prior published model replay was rechecked; source/evidence and this dependency plan are retained in the existing public research Space.

Not established: authenticated artifact-source truth, human approval-to-effect, whole-platform security or capability, independent organisational acceptance, durable-storage reliability, all-axis measurements, model promotion or customer value. The known direct-browser HF badge error and the observed mount incident remain recorded.

No new paid compute, new package installation, model-provider inference, weight change, private-data publication, signing, protected merge or GSPC admission occurred in this receiver consolidation pass.
