# 20260811 four layer v2 cutover trajectory

# Four-layer v2 cutover decision trajectory

This is a non-normative, source-faithful event ledger. It records the public
exchange that initiated the four-layer cutover, the execution plan adopted as
a goal, the later Registry-recovery deferral, and the accepted reduced
`HarnessClient` boundary. It does not admit an ADR, make an interface binding,
or reconstruct rationale that the source does not state. Current contracts
remain in the authority sources identified by `AGENTS.md`.

## Source record and compaction method

* Source system: Codex CLI rollout JSONL, recorded with source `cli` and
  originator `codex-tui`.
* Source session:
  `019fd899-779c-7e70-a8e4-338727b13e6c`.
* Source file:
  `rollout-2026-08-06T12-42-44-019fd899-779c-7e70-a8e4-338727b13e6c.jsonl`.
* Session metadata event: event kind `session_meta`, UTC
  `2026-08-11T17:56:36.570Z`; the payload records session creation time
  `2026-08-06T19:42:44.352Z`, branch
  `agent/v2-identity-foundation`, commit
  `a534a3243ef019ce8616b059fdf86d04b2c26102`, and repository
  `https://github.com/chughtapan/moltzap.git`.
* The session metadata event has no native message ID, enclosing turn, parent
  locator, or stored actor role. It does not identify the human using the
  session.

Quoted message text is literal; paragraph wrapping is normalized for Markdown
without changing words or punctuation. `[omitted: ...]` marks text removed
from a retained message. System and developer instructions, hidden reasoning,
private research, non-public tool payloads, automatic goal-continuation
events, and unrelated workflow detail were omitted. Material planning-UI
questions, options, and stored selections are retained below as literal JSON.
No secret, personal data,
authentication-bound session URL, or machine-local absolute source path is
retained. Every retained response item supplies an enclosing turn in its
stored metadata and lacks a parent-message field; parent locators are stated
as absent rather than invented.

The assistant's plan is retained as an agent proposal. The human instruction
to make it the goal authorizes the recorded execution plan and its durable
preparation work. The exchange does not say that every proposed interface
detail is already a normative decision; the initial human request expressly
asks to discuss the final interface, and the retained plan puts authority and
blind review before implementation.

## Four layers and recursive trust features

* Source system: Codex CLI rollout JSONL.
* Source session: `019fd899-779c-7e70-a8e4-338727b13e6c`.
* Native locator: `msg_019ff1f8-2124-73e2-8e49-7559e6b8b43d`.
* Enclosing turn: `019ff1f8-149f-7330-837b-eabd1a33c73d`.
* Parent locator: absent from the stored event.
* UTC timestamp: `2026-08-11T17:56:38.308Z`.
* Stored actor role: `user`.

Literal excerpt:

> I want to do something: can you fetch
> [https://github.com/chughtapan/moltzap/pull/974](https://github.com/chughtapan/moltzap/pull/974) into a new worktree and I
> want you to start doing altitude and readability passes over the codebase.
> Look at how the whole codebased is organized now and lets discuss the final
> interface. The other thing I want to do is to refactor our more complex
> proposed design for v2; instead of it being an 8 layer stack, lets try to do
> something shorter. We get rid of the ledger, monitoring, and the revocable
> credentials as large layers and instead things we can build recursively on
> top of the new design later. so the simplified version means everyone will
> maintain their own copy of the conversation history and the ledger, and then
> special institutions and governance become just antoher agent. querying an
> agents private ledger and reconcilling against multiple things becomes
> another type of task. all of that.

This source uses “ledger” both for the large layer to remove and for the copy
each participant maintains. It does not name the final record type, storage
threshold, public API, or disclosure protocol. Those details remain proposals
or open interface work unless a later retained human event selects them.

<a id="planning-ui-decisions" />

## Planning UI questions and selections

The events in this section are public planning-UI exchanges stored as paired
`request_user_input` function calls and outputs. The source stores no actor
role or parent-message field on either event type. The prompts are agent
events; the result objects contain the human's selections and literal notes.
Selection here is source evidence for the execution goal, not a substitute for
admitting the resulting contract through the repository authority gate.

### Five layers selected before the later four-layer merge

* Source system: Codex CLI rollout JSONL.

* Parent locator: absent from both stored events.
* Stored actor role: absent from both stored events.

Literal request arguments:

```json theme={null}
{"questions":[{"header":"Layers","id":"layer_compression","question":"Is the intended simplified stack the four-layer communication stack, with all former trust layers expressed recursively on top?","options":[{"label":"Four layers (Recommended)","description":"L1 identity, L2 messaging, L3 conversations/private transcripts, and L4 tasks/norms; former L5–L8 become agent roles and protocols."},{"label":"Five layers","description":"Keep personal endpoint trust as L5, but collapse monitoring, institutions, and governance into agents and tasks."},{"label":"Six layers","description":"Keep personal trust and social oversight as named layers, collapsing only institutions and governance."}]},{"header":"Durability","id":"durability_success","question":"When an action succeeds without a central Ledger, what must be durably true?","options":[{"label":"All members persisted (Recommended)","description":"Preserve current shared-success semantics by acknowledging only after every fixed member confirms its private transcript append."},{"label":"Local persist plus delivery","description":"A caller succeeds after its own append and Router acceptance; peer copies may lag and reconcile later."},{"label":"Norm-defined quorum","description":"Each task norm decides which members must confirm persistence before success."}]},{"header":"MCP surface","id":"mcp_surface","question":"Should the existing daemon/runtime surface remain structurally intact during this redesign?","options":[{"label":"Preserve split (Recommended)","description":"Model-facing start/reply/listen remain; registration, status, search, and history stay daemon management operations; reconciliation is a task."},{"label":"Add task tool","description":"Keep existing tools and add a general task operation for ledger queries and reconciliation."},{"label":"Broaden runtime","description":"Expose search, history, and reconciliation directly to the agent runtime in addition to start/reply/listen."}]}]}

```

The five-layer selection is retained because the later four-layer selection
replaces it after the human suggests merging messaging and conversations.

The package list still included a testbed in the option description. The later
human testbed statement and adopted plan remove that package; the old wording
is retained here rather than repaired.

“enable” answers the directly preceding recommendation to enable all three
named rules. The testbed sentence records the human's wording without
silently converting “I don't think” into a stronger standalone deletion
decision. The later adopted plan expressly includes removal of the testbed
package.

## Reduced HarnessClient boundary

These events use the same source session and source-record conventions stated
above. Stored public-message events provide a `turn_id` but no parent-message
or parent-turn locator; parent locators are therefore recorded as absent.

Literal excerpt, with the marked implementation detail and workflow receipt
omitted:

> You’re right. The previous interface still exposed internal proof machinery.

> The proper runtime interface is this small:
>
> \[omitted: the TypeScript declarations for `Content`, `StartInput`,
> `HarnessTurn`, `HarnessClient`, `createConversationId`, and
> `acquireHarnessClient`; their exact fields and results are retained in the
> accepted ADR]
>
> The identifier model becomes:
>
> * `ConversationId`: the only runtime-visible identifier. It handles grouping and START retry, eliminating a separate `OperationId`.
> * `ActionHash`: private correlation for an in-flight proposal and its signatures.
> * `RecordHash`: private history, durability, catch-up, and re-anchor identity.
> * `TxnId`: removed entirely. The bound reply closure holds the live grant, expiry, and retry state.
>
> Start and reply return `void`. Successful completion means the endpoint durably certified the action. Records and proofs remain in the endpoint’s private history and cross the boundary only through an explicit owner-authorized management read or disclosure task.

Literal excerpt:

> Accepted. I’ll make that exact reduced boundary durable after the merge resolves: pre-minted `ConversationId` is the sole public start/retry identity; `TxnId` disappears; `ActionHash` and `RecordHash` stay private; `start` and bound `reply` return only after local certification and otherwise expose no receipt; one turn carries one current-conversation certified action; proof/history/search remain explicit MCP management tasks. I’ll reconcile the governing vision, ADR lineage, specs, and traceability before implementing it.
