## 🎉💰📚🫶 #FELG Culture Alignment

| Pillar | Application |
|--------|-------------|
| 🎉 **Fun** | No more RAG vs GH guessing games — deterministic verification makes VSA fun again |
| 💰 **Earning** | Precise RAG fidelity = accurate VSA = trusted audits = financial integrity |
| 📚 **Learning** | PRJ-tt2140479: RAG returned stale pre-GH-touch version. #MetaCouncil: 5 agents, 4 rounds, consensus on BP-075. Detection ≠ Proof codified. L-153, L-225, L-226 established. Architecture consolidation in v4.1.2.1-r3. R-011 granted by @GTM in v4.1.2.1-r4. GH LIVE in v4.1.2.1-r5. GUIDE-017 created for hash computation workflow. ❗ W24-D2-BAD-003: Content truncation during regeneration — L-097 violation. |
| 🫶 **Giving** | Open-source protocol for any FedArch ecosystem to verify RAG-GH sync |

---

## 🏛️ PRJ-040 Elevation

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Project** | PRJ-040 — Protocol Elevation & Governance Formalization |
| **Purpose** | Elevate ad-hoc protocols from DRAFT to APPROVED with full governance lifecycle |
| **Elevation Path** | DRAFT (r1–r4) → #MetaCouncil VSA (x4) → SEEK:META → R-011 → GH LIVE |
| **Success Criteria** | All 5 #MetaCouncil agents attested BP-075 is sound. @GTM granted R-011. **v4.1.2.1‑r5 = GH LIVE.** Cascade to BP-044/BP-070/TMPL-VSA remains. |

---

## 🎯 Purpose

> **Ensure to 99.9% verifiable satisfaction (Human and AI Agents BOTH) that ALL RAG uploaded documents are in SYNC with the document source of truth (GitHub.com for our ♾️ WeOwnNet 🌐 ecosystem).**

### What This Means

| Aspect | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| **99.9% verifiable satisfaction** | Not absolute perfection — practical, achievable certainty that Humans AND AI can trust |
| **Human AND AI Agents BOTH** | The protocol must be verifiable by both a human reading the output AND an AI executing tool commands |
| **In SYNC** | RAG content matches GH content within acceptable tolerance (no stale versions, no truncation, no wrong-file contamination) |
| **Source of Truth** | GitHub.com (`raw.githubusercontent.com/CCCbotNet/fedarch/`) is the authoritative reference |

### What This Is NOT

| ❌ Not This | ✅ This |
|-------------|---------|
| 100% byte-perfect cryptographic guarantee (impractical for agent-layer) | Practical multi-layer verification with clearly communicated confidence levels |
| AI-only verification (agents can't always compare bytes) | Human-verifiable outputs at every layer |
| Single point of failure | Three independent verification layers |

---

## 🔍 The Problem: RAG Contamination

| Vector | How Contamination Happens | Prevention |
|--------|--------------------------|------------|
| **Stale RAG** | GH updated but RAG not refreshed | BP-044 + BP-075 Layer 2 (Canary) verification |
| **Partial RAG** | Chunking truncation strips footer/metadata | FedArch Canary detects truncation |
| **Wrong Version** | Pre-GH-touch version in RAG (PRJ-tt2140479) | Version string + Canary hash mismatch detection |
| **Tool Failure** | `web-scraping` unavailable | Fallback protocol with honest reporting |

### Why Existing BPs Don't Solve This

| BP | What It Covers | Gap |
|----|----------------|-----|
| BP-030 | Cross-agent verification for RAG uploads | Doesn't define WHAT to verify |
| BP-032 | `list:docs` before and after upload | Confirms upload completed, NOT content sync |
| BP-034 | Fresh session after RAG upload | Session freshness ≠ content sync |
| BP-035 | `status:RAG` in verification workflow | Status tracking, not content comparison |
| BP-044 | GH push → RAG update → verify | "Verify" step undefined |

---

## 🔬 Why Agents Failed (PRJ-tt2140479 Post-Mortem)

| Failure Mode | Detail | BP-075 Solution | Source Agent |
|--------------|--------|-----------------|:------------:|
| **Agent-layer comparison impossible** | RAG returns CHUNKS, not verbatim file | ADMIN-layer SHA-256 + Canary (Layer 1 & 2) | Calhoun 🎖️ |
| **GH side unreachable** | `web-scraping` hung consistently | Fallback: pasted content + honest parity reporting | MiMo 🧪 |
| **Fabricated matches** | "✅ MATCH" while GH "🚫 UNVERIFIABLE" | Rule: NO sync claim without verifiable evidence | Calhoun 🎖️ |
| **Semantic trust** | RAG = ground truth assumption | L-225: GH is source of truth; RAG is cache | DeepPro 🌊 |
| **No structural check** | H2 count, table count, EOF not verified | 5-point PoP metric match (Layer 3) | VSA-Qwen 🧠 |
| **No footer verification** | Chunk truncation undetectable | FedArch Canary injected in footer | Surge ⚡ |

---

## 🛡️ The Protocol — 3 Verification Layers

### Layer 1: ADMIN — SHA-256 Hash Manifest (GOLD STANDARD — PROOF)

*Verifiable Satisfaction: 100% — For ADMIN only, verified at upload time.*

| Step | Action | Owner | Human Verifiable? |
|:----:|--------|-------|:-----------------:|
| 1 | GH push → compute SHA-256(raw file) | @GTM:ADMIN | ✅ Hash logged to manifest |
| 2 | Upload identical file to RAG | @GTM:ADMIN | ✅ Same bytes → same hash |
| 3 | Record SHA-256(ingested bytes) pre-chunking | System | ✅ Hash logged to manifest |
| 4 | **Compare hashes** → match = ✅ synced | @GTM:ADMIN | ✅ Two hash values human-readable |
| 5 | Log to `RAG-MANIFEST.md` | @GTM:ADMIN | ✅ Every agent can read |
| 6 | Re-verify on cadence | ADMIN/cron | ✅ Timestamps in manifest |

### §6.1 ADMIN Layer — SHA-256 Hash Manifest Workflow

> **Consolidated from Calhoun 🎖️ DOC 1 (BP-XXX Hash-Verified RAG Sync). See GUIDE-017 for Zed.dev + bp075_hash.py execution steps.**

#### Core Principle (PROPOSED L-153)

> **RAG is a CACHE, not a source of truth. GitHub is authoritative.** RAG retrieval returns **semantic chunks**, not the verbatim file → byte-comparison is **impossible at the agent layer**. 100% proof = hashing at the **ingestion layer**.

#### Two-Layer Defense-in-Depth

| Layer | Mechanism | Confidence | Source |
|-------|-----------|:----------:|--------|
| **Detect** (fast) | FedArch Canary footer + `Content-SHA256` (§6.2.1) | ~99% (catches gross drift) | Surge ⚡ + Calhoun 🎖️ |
| **Prove** (100%) | ADMIN `SHA-256(GH)==SHA-256(RAG-ingest)` | mathematical | Calhoun 🎖️ |

#### The Rule (PROPOSED)

> **No fabricated matches.** An agent MUST NOT claim RAG↔GH "identical/match" without a hash. Chunk retrieval confirms **PRESENCE + semantic match ONLY**. Byte-identity = ADMIN SHA-256 ONLY. **Detection ≠ Proof.** Claiming a match from retrieval/structural-metrics alone = #BadAgent.

#### Re-Verification Cadence

| Doc Class | Cadence |
|-----------|:-------:|
| `_SYS_` #PinnedDocs | Every GH push + weekly |
| `_PROJECTS_` (GH LIVE) | Every GH push + monthly |
| All others | Every GH push |

---

### §6.1.1 RAG-MANIFEST.md Reference

> **DOC 2 remains a SEPARATE file** — it is a living append-only operational log with a different lifecycle (updated every upload). BP-075 defines the **schema** here; the live file lives at `_GOVERNANCE_/RAG-MANIFEST.md`.

| Document | Version | Folder | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|:------:|
| RAG-MANIFEST.md | v4.1.1.1-r1 | `_GOVERNANCE_/` *(✅ @GTM confirmed — pending SK cascade)* | 📝 Separate file |

**Schema:**

| Document | Version | GH-SHA256 | RAG-SHA256 | Match? | Uploaded | Last Verified |
|----------|---------|-----------|------------|:------:|----------|---------------|
| `<path/name.md>` | `v#.#.#.#` | `<64-hex>` | `<64-hex>` | ✅/🔴 | `<ISO 8601 UTC>` | `<ISO 8601 UTC>` |

**Rule:** APPEND-ONLY — never delete or edit rows. New verification = new appended row.

---

### Layer 2: Document — Self-Verifying Footer (FedArch Canary — DETECTION)

*Verifiable Satisfaction: ~99% — Quick human/agent verification.*

Every `_SYS_/` and `_PROJECTS_/` document MUST include:

```text
♾️ WeOwnNet 🌐 | FEDARCH-CANARY: [8-Char-Hash] | WORDS: [Count] | GH-PUSH: [Timestamp]
Content-SHA256: [SHA-256 of canonical body, EXCLUDING this line]
```

**How to verify (Human):** Look at the canary. Does it match what you expect? Is the word count plausible? Is the timestamp recent?

**How to verify (AI Agent):** Scrape GH raw URL → extract canary → compare with RAG-retrieved canary → report MATCH, CONTAMINATED, or TRUNCATED.

---

### §6.2.1 Content-SHA256 Self-Verifying Footer Specification

> **Consolidated from Calhoun 🎖️ DOC 3 (SPEC-Content-SHA256-Footer). See GUIDE-017 for hash computation script.**

#### Canonical Body Rule (solves the chicken-and-egg problem)

| # | Rule | Detail |
|:-:|------|--------|
| 1 | **Boundary** | Hash covers everything **ABOVE** the literal line `<!-- CONTENT-HASH-BOUNDARY -->`. The footer (hash + canary + tagline) sits **below** → excluded → no chicken-and-egg. |
| 2 | **Encoding** | UTF-8 |
| 3 | **Line endings** | normalize CRLF/CR → `LF` |
| 4 | **Trailing whitespace** | strip per line; collapse to single trailing `\n` |
| 5 | **Hash** | `SHA-256(canonical_body)` → 64-hex lowercase |

#### Footer Format

```text
<!-- CONTENT-HASH-BOUNDARY -->
Content-SHA256: <64-hex — @GTM:ADMIN computes prior to GH push — see GUIDE-017>
Source of Truth: <GH raw URL>
♾️ WeOwnNet 🌐 | FEDARCH-CANARY: <8-char> | WORDS: <count>
```

#### Verification

| Verifier | Method |
|----------|--------|
| **AI agent** | Take content above boundary → canonicalize (rules 2-4) → `SHA-256` → compare to footer's `Content-SHA256`. Match ✅ / Mismatch 🔴. **NOTE:** Agents CANNOT natively compute SHA-256. MUST use code interpreter or read ADMIN-computed hash from RAG-MANIFEST.md. Do NOT hallucinate hash comparison. |
| **Human** | Visual: compare footer hash against the `RAG-MANIFEST.md` row. |
| **ADMIN** | Authoritative `GH==RAG` hash (Layer 1) — the footer is a **detection** aid, the manifest hash is the **proof**. |

#### When Added

**Pre-push, post-generation** — after the doc's content is final, before GH push: compute over the canonical body, append the footer, then push + upload (Layer 1 workflow).

#### Compatibility (with Surge ⚡ FedArch Canary)

The canary (`FEDARCH-CANARY` + `WORDS`) = the **fast detection** line (survives chunking, agent-visible); the `Content-SHA256` = the **full-content** check. Both live below the boundary, so neither affects the hash. **Detection layer + proof layer, unified.**

---

### §6.2.2 bp075_hash.py — Verifiable Footer Script (WeOwnVer v4.32.7-r1)

> **FedArchBuzz regeneration (2026-08-09, W32 D7):** the complete Zed.dev script implementing §6.2.1 is embedded below (WeOwnVer **v4.32.7-r1** — initial revision per @GTM directive 2026-08-09 21:14 UTC). It generates a **VERIFIABLE** footer: the hash covers ONLY the content ABOVE the **LAST** `<!-- CONTENT-HASH-BOUNDARY -->` marker (`rsplit` — self-dogfooding safe when the doc itself contains that literal marker, as this one does), the footer appends below it, and `--verify` recomputes deterministically → reproducible PASS/FAIL (exit 0/1/2). Root cause + fix analysis: `RESEARCH/BP075_VERIFIABLE_FOOTER.md`.

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
bp075_hash.py — BP-075 Self-Verifying Footer Hash Generator (VERIFIABLE) — WeOwnVer v4.32.7-r1 (2026-08-09)

Computes canonical SHA-256 hash, FEDARCH-CANARY, CHARACTERS, WORDS, and LINES
for any governance document in the ♾️ WeOwnNet 🌐 ecosystem, and produces a
VERIFIABLE BP-075 footer.

VERIFIABLE DESIGN (fixes old non-deterministic footer):
    The hash covers ONLY the CONTENT portion of the document — everything
    before the `<!-- CONTENT-HASH-BOUNDARY -->` marker. The footer block is
    APPENDED after that marker, so it never feeds back into the hash. Any
    later run of `--verify` re-hashes the same content and gets the SAME
    SHA-256 → the footer provably matches the document.

    Old behavior (whole-file hash) could never verify: the timestamp inside
    the footer changed the file every run, and the hash covered its own
    footer bytes → unreproducible. (Confirmed: embedded hash 1e256745… from
    AGENTS.md v4.32.7-r3 matches NO canonical scope.)

Usage:
    python3 bp075_hash.py <file>            # print footer block (stdout)
    python3 bp075_hash.py --embed <file>    # append/replace footer IN the file
    python3 bp075_hash.py --verify <file>   # verify embedded footer (exit 0/1/2)

Exit codes:
    0 = verified (or block generated)
    1 = verification MISMATCH
    2 = no footer / missing fields / file error

**Usage (Zed.dev tasks.json → `$ZED_FILE`):**

| Mode | Command | Result |
|------|---------|--------|
| Print | `python3 bp075_hash.py <file>` | Footer block → stdout (for RAG-MANIFEST logging) |
| Embed | `python3 bp075_hash.py --embed <file>` | Append/replace verifiable footer IN the file |
| Verify | `python3 bp075_hash.py --verify <file>` | ✅ VERIFIED exit 0 · ❌ MISMATCH exit 1 · ⚠️ no footer exit 2 |

**Canonicalization (§6.2.1):** LF normalize · per-line rstrip · single trailing newline. **Hash scope:** content above the LAST boundary → the footer never feeds back → no chicken-and-egg (§6.2.1 Canonical Body Rule).

### Layer 3: Agent — 5-Point PoP Metric Match (DETECTION)

*Verifiable Satisfaction: ~95% — Reliable cross-check for agents.*

| # | Metric | Why This Field? | Human Checkable? |
|:-:|--------|-----------------|:----------------:|
| 1 | **Version string** | High mutation rate — changes with every update | ✅ |
| 2 | **#masterCCC** | Immutable doc identity | ✅ |
| 3 | **TOC section count** | Structural integrity — truncation detection | ✅ |
| 4 | **Lifecycle stage** | Gate status confirmation | ✅ |
| 5 | **Bookend Hash** (first 15 + last 15 words) | EOF truncation detection | ✅ |

**Example:**
```
GH:  v4.1.1.1-r11 | _6043 | 16 TOC + 4 APP | ✅ APPROVED | "## 📅 WeOwnVer…invitation only."
RAG: v4.1.1.1-r11 | _6043 | 16 TOC + 4 APP | ✅ APPROVED | "## 📅 WeOwnVer…invitation only."
→ ✅ SYNCED
```

---

## 📈 Detection vs Proof: The Critical Distinction (Hardened from Round 3)

> **Core insight from Calhoun 🎖️:** Canary strings + structural-metric matching = **DETECTION**, not **PROOF**. Two different documents can share the same H2/table/code counts and bookend hashes. Only a full-content SHA-256 cryptographic hash is mathematical **PROOF** of byte-identity.

| Method | Type | Confidence | Claim |
|--------|:----:|:----------:|-------|
| FedArch Canary footer | DETECTION | ~99% | "Content appears intact" |
| 5-Point PoP Metric Match | DETECTION | ~95% | "Structure is consistent" |
| SHA-256 Hash Manifest | PROOF | 100% | "Bytes are identical" |

**Rule: An agent MUST NOT claim "100% IDENTICAL" from canary or structural metrics alone.** Only a full SHA-256 hash match = 100% proof. Canary + structural metrics = high-confidence DETECTION. This distinction is **NON-NEGOTIABLE**. Violation = #BadAgent.

---

## 📋 When To Use Each Layer (Decision Tree)

> **New section — contribution from DeepPro 🌊.**

| Scenario | Recommended Layer | Why |
|----------|:----------------:|------|
| Post-GH-push ADMIN verification | **Layer 1** (SHA-256) | ADMIN has access to raw bytes pre/post upload — 100% proof required. |
| VSA agent verifying a `_SYS_/` doc with canary | **Layer 2** (Canary + Content-SHA256) | Fast detection. Agent can scrape GH and compare canary values. |
| VSA agent verifying a pre-canary doc | **Layer 3** (5-Point PoP) | No canary → structural metrics are the best available DETECTION tool. |
| `web-scraping` is unavailable | **Fallback** (pasted content + honest parity) | Report honestly: "Cannot verify — GH unreachable. Using @GTM-pasted content as reference." |
| Any agent claiming "100% SYNCHRONIZED" | **Layer 1 ONLY** | Only ADMIN with SHA-256 can claim 100%. All other claims = DETECTION only. |

## 📋 BP-070 Enhancement: 5-Point PoP Metric Match

> **Contribution from VSA-Qwen 🧠.** Enhancement to BP-070 "Prove Before Verifying" with specific implementation instructions.

### Protocol Steps

| Step | Action | Tool | Success Criteria |
|:----:|--------|------|-----------------|
| 1 | Fetch GH raw content | `web-scraping` on `raw.githubusercontent.com` URL | 200 OK, raw markdown retrieved |
| 2 | Extract 5 PoP metrics from GH | Agent calculation | 5 metrics extracted |
| 3 | Retrieve RAG content | `rag-memory` search for doc title + version | Document retrieved from vector store |
| 4 | Extract 5 PoP metrics from RAG | Agent calculation | 5 metrics extracted |
| 5 | **Determine match** | Compare 5 metrics | ALL 5 must match for ✅ SYNCED |

### Diagnostic Matrix

| Mismatch | Diagnosis | Root Cause |
|----------|-----------|------------|
| Version string differs | RAG is STALE (old version) | RAG not refreshed after GH push |
| #masterCCC differs | WRONG DOCUMENT entirely | RAG contamination from other session |
| TOC section count differs | TRUNCATION or EOF bleed | Chunking error |
| Bookend hash differs | STRUCTURAL CORRUPTION | Embedder parsing error |

## 📋 FedArch Canary Injection Workflow

> **Contribution from Surge ⚡.** The FedArch Canary is a deterministic verification string injected into every document footer.

| Phase | Step | Detail | Human Check |
|:-----:|------|--------|:-----------:|
| **Pre-Push** | Generate Canary | Compiler computes: SHA-256(raw).substring(0,8) + word count + timestamp | ✅ |
| **Pre-Push** | Inject Footer | Append canary + Content-SHA256 to document body | ✅ |
| **GH Push** | Commit to GitHub | GH:URL now contains Canary-verified content | ✅ |
| **RAG Upload** | Upload identical file | Same bytes → same Canary value | ✅ |
| **Post-Upload** | Verify parity | ADMIN compares GH Canary vs RAG Canary → match = ✅ SYNCED | ✅ |

---

## 📋 VSA Agent Triage Matrix

| Parity Status | Confidence | Agent Action | Human Verifiable? |
|:-------------:|:----------:|--------------|:-----------------:|
| ✅ **SYNCED** | 99.9% | Proceed with full VSA | ✅ Read canary values |
| 🔴 **CONTAMINATED** | 99.9% | HALT — flag `INC-S004-RAG` — report to @GTM | ✅ Compare canaries |
| 🚫 **TRUNCATED** | 99.9% | HALT — request full-text paste from @GTM | ✅ Count words |
| ⚠️ **CANARY MISSING** | 95% | Flag as pre-Canary doc. Use 5-point PoP instead. | ✅ Check metrics |
| ❓ **WEB-SCRAPE FAILED** | 90% | Fallback to @GTM-pasted content. Report honestly. | ✅ Read context |

## 📋 CCC-ID Discipline Rule (Updated — R-CCC-5 → L-226)

> **Contributions from Calhoun 🎖️ + @GTM + Round 3 meta-scoring + W24-D1-BAD-002.**

| Rule / Learning | Statement | Source |
|:---------------:|-----------|--------|
| **R-CCC-1** | Every response in a CCC workspace MUST have a unique CCC-ID header. | CCC.md §3.1 |
| **R-CCC-2** | Never re-use a prior CCC-ID. If @GTM provides one, use EXACTLY that. | CCC.md §3.2 (extended) |
| **R-CCC-3** | When @GTM provides a CCC-ID for NEXT RESPONSE, agents MUST NOT add extra CCC-IDs or extend the directive. Use as REFERENCE. | BP-075 §13 |
| **R-CCC-4** | **Broadcast CCC-ID collision rule:** If a CCC-ID directive is broadcast to multiple agents, it is inherently single-agent. Use broadcast REF as primary REFERENCE. | BP-075 §13 (Round 3) |
| **L-226 (PROPOSED)** | **CCC-ID session continuity — week field MUST match current session.** When crossing a week boundary, verify the week offset BEFORE generating. ❗ W24-D1-BAD-002: used _W23 in W24 session. *(Renamed from R-CCC-5 per MiMo 🧪 recommendation: a lesson from an incident is a Learning, not a Rule.)* | BP-075 §13 (new — W24-D1-BAD-002) |

---

## 📋 VSA Response Header Standard (New)

> **Contribution from Surge ⚡.** All VSA agents MUST use the following numbered, emoji-prefixed header format:

📊 **1. [SCORING SECTION NAME]**  
🛡️ **2. [SYNTHESIS / PROTOCOL NAME]**  
🧠 **3. [LEARNINGS / OBSERVATIONS]** *(optional)*

---

## 📋 Scratchpad Practice Recommendation (New)

> **Contribution from MiMo 🧪.** All agents are encouraged to include a `### SCRATCHPAD` section (pure markdown, NO XML tags) showing reasoning steps, trade-offs, and honest self-assessment.

**THE 3 LAYERS:**
| Layer | Method | Type | Confidence | Who |
|:-----:|--------|:----:|:----------:|:---:|
| 1 | SHA-256 Hash Manifest | PROOF | 100% | ADMIN |
| 2 | FedArch Canary Footer | DETECTION | ~99% | Human + Agent |
| 3 | 5-Point PoP Metric Match | DETECTION | ~95% | Agent |

**5-POINT POP METRICS:** Version string · #masterCCC · TOC count · Lifecycle stage · Bookend Hash

**PARITY STATUS CODES:** ✅ SYNCED · 🔴 CONTAMINATED · 🚫 TRUNCATED · ⚠️ CANARY MISSING · ❓ WEB-SCRAPE FAILED

**DETECTION ≠ PROOF:** Only SHA-256 = 100% proof. Canary + metrics = high-confidence detection. Agents MUST NOT claim "100% identical" from detection methods alone.

**CCC-ID RULES:**
| Rule | Summary |
|:----:|---------|
| R-CCC-1 | Unique ID per response |
| R-CCC-2 | Never re-use; use @GTM-provided exactly |
| R-CCC-3 | No extra IDs; use as REFERENCE |
| R-CCC-4 | Broadcast IDs = single-agent; use broadcast REF |
| **L-226 (PROPOSED)** | **Week field MUST match current session** |

### The Core Problem

Large Language Models process tokens, not bytes. An AI agent cannot:
- Compute SHA-256 of a string without a tool
- Know the exact byte representation of text (encoding, line endings, BOM)
- Reproduce deterministic hash comparisons without explicit canonicalization rules

### Authorized Hash Verification Methods

| Method | How | Confidence | Who Can Do It |
|--------|-----|:----------:|:-------------:|
| **A — Read from RAG-MANIFEST** | Look up the document's row in `RAG-MANIFEST.md`. Read `GH-SHA256` and `RAG-SHA256` columns. | 100% (if manifest is trusted) | Any agent with access to the manifest |
| **B — Use code interpreter** | If the agent has a code execution tool available, it can run `sha256sum()` on the canonical body per §6.2.1 rules. | 100% (deterministic) | Agent with code execution |
| **C — Read the footer Content-SHA256** | The document's own footer contains `Content-SHA256: <64-hex>`. Agent can read this value and compare against RAG-MANIFEST or a GH-scraped version. | ~99% (detection) | Any agent that can retrieve the document |
| **D — Does NOT apply** | **Agent claims "100% SYNCHRONIZED by visually inspecting text."** | **0%** | **Never allowed — #BadAgent** |

### The Rule

> **An AI agent MUST NOT claim to have verified a SHA-256 hash without using Method A, B, or C above. Visual inspection of document text does NOT constitute hash verification. If the agent cannot access the manifest, use a code interpreter, or read the footer, it must report: "Cannot verify — hash computation not available."**

# 📋 APPENDIX E — RAG-MANIFEST Schema & Template
📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

> **Schema for the living `RAG-MANIFEST.md` file, extracted from Calhoun 🎖️ DOC 2.**

### File Location

`_GOVERNANCE_/RAG-MANIFEST.md` *(✅ @GTM confirmed — pending SK cascade)*

### Schema

| Column | Type | Example | Required |
|--------|:----:|---------|:--------:|
| Document | string | `_SYS_/SharedKernel.md` | ✅ |
| Version | string | `v3.2.2.1` | ✅ |
| GH-SHA256 | hex (64 chars) | `a1b2c3d4e5...` | ✅ |
| RAG-SHA256 | hex (64 chars) | `a1b2c3d4e5...` | ✅ |
| Match? | `✅` / `🔴` | `✅` | ✅ |
| Uploaded | ISO 8601 UTC | `2026-06-07T08:00:00Z` | ✅ |
| Last Verified | ISO 8601 UTC | `2026-06-08T08:00:00Z` | ✅ |

### Rules

| # | Rule |
|:-:|------|
| 1 | **APPEND-ONLY** — never delete or edit rows. New verification = new appended row. |
| 2 | First row = initial upload. Second row = first re-verification. Each row is immutable. |
| 3 | `🔴` in Match? column = auto-trigger re-upload workflow (BP-044). |
| 4 | Hash values are ADMIN-computed — agents read, never write to the manifest. |

### Example Rows *(⚠️ placeholder hashes — illustrative, NOT real)*

| Document | Version | GH-SHA256 | RAG-SHA256 | Match? | Uploaded | Last Verified |
|----------|---------|-----------|------------|:------:|----------|---------------|
| `_SYS_/SharedKernel.md` | v3.2.2.1 | `EX:a1b2c3d4e5f6...` | `EX:a1b2c3d4e5f6...` | ✅ | 2026-06-07T08:00Z | 2026-06-07T08:00Z |
| `_SYS_/WeOwnVer.md` | v4.1.1.1 | `EX:c3d4e5f6a7b8...` | `EX:9f9e8d7c6b5a...` | 🔴 | 2026-06-07T07:10Z | 2026-06-07T08:05Z |

> Row 2 = 🔴 **CONTAMINATED** (hashes differ → re-sync per Layer 1 workflow). This is exactly the PRJ-tt2140479 failure mode, now **caught** before any VSA agent encounters it.

## 📋 DOGFOODING: Self-Verifying Footer (Appended per @GTM Direction)

> **The following footer is appended to BP-075 per the protocol's own §6.2.1 specification. @GTM will compute the actual SHA-256 hash and canary values before GH push using the method described in GUIDE-017 ("How to Create a SHA-256 Hash using Zed.dev + bp075_hash.py").**
