OCT Validation Runtime Artifacts

Date: 2026-05-01
Purpose: minimal operational layer for v5.3 governance

Contents

1. OCT_APPEND_ONLY_TRAJECTORY_SCHEMA_v0_1.json
   • canonical append-only event schema for process-level traces.
2. OCT_PREREG_SEAL_SCHEMA_v0_1.json
   • canonical preregistration seal schema (hash/timestamp/immutability fields).
3. check_gate_compliance.py
   • substantive audit script for theorem-level gate compliance:
     • instantiated pre-validation sheets,
     • explicit PASS decision,
     • role separation checks,
     • prereg seal integrity and hash re-check,
     • timestamp precedence vs trajectory logs.
   • default hash mode: canonical text hashing (UTF-8, BOM stripped, LF line endings) for cross-platform reproducibility.
   • optional --raw-hash mode for byte-level diagnostics.
4. run_cycle5_execution.py
   • deterministic cycle5 proxy execution runner generating full trajectory logs, results, and reports.
5. refresh_seal_hashes.py
   • recomputes seal hash fields in canonical hash mode.

Usage

Run from repository root:

python OCT/validation/runtime/check_gate_compliance.py

Optional explicit path:

python OCT/validation/runtime/check_gate_compliance.py --validation-root OCT/validation

Raw-byte diagnostic run:

python OCT/validation/runtime/check_gate_compliance.py --raw-hash

Notes

This runtime package is governance-driven.
It does not replace theorem-specific benchmark code; it enforces pre-run admissibility constraints before execution.
