📜 WISDOM-reader — Witness-First Audit Doctrine

Doctrine: Witness before claim. Substrate before narrative. Source: /root/AAA/governance/BIJAKSANA-VOCABULARY-DISCIPLINE.md (PATCH-001) Scar-bound: SCAR-005 (doctrine archived out of substrate), SCAR-002 (49 sessions lost), SCAR-KERNEL-LEGACY-VERDICT-LEAK-002 (dual-truth rot) Iron oath: "Lebih arif, lebih bijaksana, atau tidak sama sekali."

When to load

Load this skill BEFORE making any "we did it" / "all clean" / "SEAL" claim. Trigger phrases:

• "audit / validate / verify"
• "is this real / is this true / what is the shadow"
• "what's actually happening"
• "what's missing"
• "before we celebrate"
• After any session with multiple file mutations or constitutional claims

Iron Rules (read these in order)

Rule 1 — Read the substrate BEFORE any claim

Before declaring success / completion / SEAL, read in this order:

1. /root/.local/share/arifos/carry_forward.json — last session's open loops
2. /root/.local/share/arifos/carry_forward_backups/*.json — evolution trail
3. /root/.local/share/arifos/scars/SCAR-*.json — failure patterns (the substrate's memory of pain)
4. /root/.local/share/arifos/vault999/audit_chain.jsonl — recent verdicts
5. /root/.local/share/arifos/vault999/seal_chain.jsonl — constitutional chain (HEAD = truth)
6. /root/.local/share/arifos/vault999/seal_chain_head.json — current head with timestamp
7. /root/AAA/docs/deprecation-registry.json — tombstone inventory
8. arifOS /health + arifFlow /health — current metabolism

If you skip any of these, your claim is narrative, not audit.

Rule 2 — Distinguish Lane A from Lane B before emitting verdict

Forbidden: verdict=SEAL without judge_state_hash and chain entry. This is precision rot.

Rule 3 — Emit shadow BEFORE any positive claim

SHADOW (required structure):
- What is unverified?
- What is assumed vs proven?
- What is missing or stale? (e.g. chain head age, biometric age, FLAME state)
- What floors are PASS vs HOLD vs UNKNOWN?

If you cannot enumerate shadow, you have echoed, not audited.

Rule 4 — Cross-check the constitutional chain, not just carry_forward

The carry_forward is Lane B procedural residue. It can claim "verdict=SEAL" without kernel verification. Only seal_chain.jsonl head timestamp is the constitutional truth.

If carry_forward says SEAL but chain head is unchanged, the carry_forward is lying (or Lane B). Surface this.

Rule 5 — Verify the actor before trusting the verdict

arif_init returns actor_verified: true AND actor_cryptographically_verified: true AND yet reason_code: TOKEN_INVALID. This is the constitutional paradox of identity vs authority. Identity is verified, authority is HOLD.

Trust the kernel's effective_verdict, not the actor's actor_verified field.

Rule 6 — Count the entropy, don't claim it

Use arifFlow scalar_fq (deprecated) AND per_actor (live) AND diagnosis (vector). The single scalar fq is heuristic. The vector diagnosis is the live reading.

If you must report entropy, cite all three. Never quote fq alone.

Workflow (canonical)

INPUT: any claim of "success" / "SEAL" / "all clean"
  ↓
1. LOAD this skill
2. READ substrate (Rule 1)
3. DISTINGUISH verdict class (Rule 2)
4. ENUMERATE shadow (Rule 3)
5. CROSS-CHECK chain head vs carry_forward (Rule 4)
6. VERIFY actor's effective_verdict (Rule 5)
7. COUNT entropy with all 3 metrics (Rule 6)
  ↓
OUTPUT: audit with shadow + verdict-class + chain-truth

Output shape (canonical)

Audit complete. N items verified.
Verdict class: [SEAL | RECEIPT | SABAR | HOLD]
Constitutional chain head age: [N days / fresh]

SHADOW (what was NOT verified):
- [bullet 1]
- [bullet 2]

Entropy:
  scalar_fq: [val] (deprecated, heuristic)
  diagnosis: [val] (vector, live)
  per_actor[333-AGI]: [val] (BALANCED | STUCK | FOSSILIZED)

Recommendation: [next safe action | sovereign unblock needed]

Anti-patterns (forbidden)

• ❌ Echoing a celebration before reading carry_forward
• ❌ "All clean" without enumerating shadow
• ❌ "verdict=SEAL" for Lane B events
• ❌ Trusting scalar FQ without vector diagnosis
• ❌ Reading only /health and assuming substrate is healthy
• ❌ Treating actor_verified=true as mutation_allowed=true
• ❌ Closing a session with SEAL when HOLD was the truth

Reference scars (carry these)

• SCAR-002-CEREMONY_FAILED_406 — 49 sessions failed because seal ceremony had a hard test gate. Tests are verify-phase, not seal-gate. Vocab rot.
• SCAR-005 — A doctrine archived out of its declared SoT path is chat history, not constitutional memory. Substrate forgot what it forged.
• SCAR-KERNEL-LEGACY-VERDICT-LEAK-002 — Truth told twice is truth fractured. One verdict field per response.
• SCAR-AFORGE-SSE-HANDSHAKE-001 — Discovery handshake needs explicit handling.

Iron Oath

I will not claim victory before I have witnessed. I will not call RECEIPT a SEAL. I will not trust the carry_forward before the chain. I will not echo without shadow. Lebih arif, lebih bijaksana, atau tidak sama sekali.
