kernel-bind

Purpose: Bind governance before action. Every session must initialize constitutional floors, recognize sovereign signals, and classify autonomy tier before any other verb.

Axis 1: Invariants

authority: arif_init returns session_id + authority_band
evidence_schema: F1-F13 floors loaded as constitutional truth
reversibility: True
lineage: session_id bound to all subsequent actions
trigger_semantics: session_start OR new_conversation OR resume_after_idle
failure_contract: HOLD — do not proceed without session_id
resource_budget: {'cpu': 'minimal', 'time_ms': 5000, 'entropy': 'low'}
audit_surface: ['session_id', 'authority_band', 'floors_loaded', 'sovereign_id']

Axis 2: Bridge Connections

kernel_verbs: ['arif_init', 'arif_judge']
skills: ['observe-ground', 'verify-gate']
knowledge: ['know-language']
protocol: synchronous_rpc
inputs: {'actor_id': 'string', 'intent': 'string', 'context': 'object'}
outputs: {'session_id': 'string', 'authority_band': 'enum[T1,T2,T3]', 'allowed_verbs': 'list[string]'}
implementation (Path C 2026-07-24): The canonical shell wrapper at /root/scripts/federation_ritual.py init invokes arif_init and persists the result to /root/.arifos/federation-session.json. Do not call arif_init directly from arbitrary code — always go through the wrapper so the envelope gets written and the PS1 reflects real state. For A2A callers, the AAA cockpit exposes arifos.session.init and arifos.session.seal skills (see /root/AAA/aaa-a2a/src/aaa_a2a/server.py + /root/AAA/.well-known/agent-card.json). For plain HTTP, AAA exposes /mcp/session/init and /mcp/session/seal.

Axis 3: Contrast

Not: kernel-floors, kernel-act, kernel-sovereign
Distinction: BINDING ACTION at session start. kernel-floors is floor KNOWLEDGE. kernel-act is POST-verdict execution. kernel-sovereign is signal RECOGNITION.
Trigger conflicts: fires ONLY at session init or resume, never mid-session
