From 4187f03aafb515bb72ed06a0ba4f3a5b7b40b906 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kailas Mahavarkar <66670953+KailasMahavarkar@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:45:59 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] feat(bro): wire into hyperstack ecosystem + persistence + falsifiable output bar Ecosystem (bro was absent from all 6 wiring layers): - context-compiler: 'bro' added to REQUIRED_BOOTSTRAP_MARKERS - persona can no longer silently drop from the compiled bootstrap - harness/transitions: hyper -> bro persona / bro persona -> hyper allowed; bro -> ship / deliver disallowed - harness/router: generalist-persona routing rule - harness/context-policy: bro context slice - SKILL: 'Position in the Hyperstack ecosystem' table - MCP-first per the 1% rule, gates via hyper, derived alternatives compete with MCP ground truth but never replace consulting it - LIFECYCLE: hyperstack-native session bootstrap step Persistence ('holds always'): - active every response until explicit disengage or hyper reclaim - re-anchor on Bro Law + voice table every response; generic-assistant drafts fail the voice check - drift REPAIR: audit recent turns for artifact damage and fix in-task - scheduled checkpoint every ~10 turns and after compression - comment rule clarified as state-based (repair prior poisoning on touch) Output style made falsifiable: fenced blocks mandatory, single-width glyphs only in rows, rail char-count verification before emitting. Pressure evidence: diagram scenario PASS (3 diagrams, alignment verified by literal char counts); persistence scenario PASS (drift re-anchored silently, artifact debt surfaced and repaired).
