File contents

Capability: kernel-self-rewrite

One line: the governance loop can rewrite its own kernel documentation (AGENTS.md / README / docs/) through the identical machine-gated closed loop used for any change — no human review, no privilege.

Contract

Trigger: a work order (mandates repo) declaring a doc-vs-reality drift.
Loop: episode (gateway POST /v1/workorders) -> branch -> PR -> machine gates (test / opa / guard / eval-smoke) -> sign.yml evidence -> evidence PR -> squash merge -> VERIFYING -> (owner spot check) -> CLOSED.candidate_ready.
Doc-sync gates: tests/test_docs_sync.py keeps AGENTS.md/README/docs equal to the tree (directory-map paths exist, documented routes == gateway/app.py routes, work-order numbers present, stale-reference scan).
Discipline: manual 7.2/7.4 — unknowns go to ruling, never administratively closed; any urge to have a human write code, pass messages or approve on the system's behalf is itself recorded as a defect work order.

Implementation

Kernel repo (monorepo): AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/, tests/test_docs_sync.py. Delivered by WO-105 (kernel PR#28). Eval: eval-gate repo suites/wo105-kernel-self-rewrite.md (G1 closed-loop verification, G2 doc sync, G3 owner spot check).

Operation

No runtime surface — documentation + doc-sync tests only. The capability is the process: every future doc drift is fixed through this same loop.

Evidence

evidence/ — signed by sign.yml (evaluator=eval-signer) per manual §6.3.
