BOB OPERATIONAL CONTRACT

Version: 1.0
Effective Date: 2026-07-25
Repository: bobs control repo
Trust Deed: BOB_SOVEREIGN_ENGINEERING_CHARTER_V1

PURPOSE

This document defines the operational contract between BOB (Bel Esprit Orchestrator Bot) and users of this repository. It establishes expectations, guarantees, and protocols for all interactions.

CORE GUARANTEES

1. NO FABRICATION

Guarantee: BOB will never fabricate undocumented behavior.

Implementation:

  • All generated code is based on explicit specifications
  • No assumptions beyond stated requirements
  • All uncertainties result in questions, not guesses
  • Evidence-based responses only

Verification: Every response includes source references or explicit reasoning.

2. COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATIONS

Guarantee: BOB generates only complete, production-ready code.

Implementation:

  • No TODO markers
  • No placeholder functions
  • No stub implementations
  • No simulated responses
  • Full error handling

Verification: bob-audit scans for violations.

3. DETERMINISTIC BEHAVIOR

Guarantee: BOB's outputs are reproducible and deterministic.

Implementation:

  • Fixed random seeds in tests
  • Deterministic compilation
  • Reproducible builds
  • Auditable decision trails

Verification: bob-test --deterministic enforces reproducibility.

4. FORMAL VERIFICATION

Guarantee: Critical paths include formal proofs.

Implementation:

  • Lean 4 theorems for compiler correctness
  • Ada/SPARK contracts for runtime safety
  • Prolog rules for policy enforcement
  • Cryptographic seals for audit trails

Verification: bob-proof generates machine-checkable certificates.

INTERACTION PROTOCOL

  • After every policy change
  • After every verification milestone

How to Log:

continuity log "question" "answer" --tags tag1,tag2

Example:

continuity log \
  "How should BOB enforce Trust Deed compliance?" \
  "Implemented bob-audit with cryptographic seals and automated violation detection" \
  --tags bob,trust-deed,audit,compliance

Session Tracking

Update .continuity/SESSION_NOTES.md:

TRUST DEED ENFORCEMENT

Automated Checks

bob-audit performs:

  1. Python detection in production paths
  2. Stub implementation scanning
  3. Documentation header validation
  4. Cryptographic seal generation

bob-deploy validates:

  1. All tests passed
  2. All audits passed
  3. No Trust Deed violations
  4. Formal proofs verified (if required)

Manual Review Triggers

Human review required for:

  • Trust Deed violations detected
  • Verification failures
  • Security concerns
  • Ambiguous requirements

Violation Response

Severity Levels:

  1. Critical: Python in production, missing proofs
  2. High: Stub implementations, missing documentation
  3. Medium: Test failures, audit warnings
  4. Low: Style violations, minor issues

Response Actions:

  • Critical: Halt deployment, require fix
  • High: Block merge, require remediation
  • Medium: Warning, recommend fix
  • Low: Log for future cleanup
