HLF Merge Readiness

Branch-aware merge framing with current truth, bridge truth, and explicit remaining gaps.

This page is a generated HTML view over the merge-readiness markdown source. It keeps the same public-safe visual standard as the status front door while preserving claim-lane discipline.

Status
branch-aware merge/readiness summary for 2026-03-20.
branch-aware summary

Use this page to read what the branch can claim now, what remains bridge-qualified, and what still blocks architectural completion.

Purpose

Why this summary exists
  • summarize what this branch can honestly claim now
  • separate current packaged truth from bridge-qualified branch work
  • name the still-open architectural gaps that remain after counting the branch improvements

Verified Branch Facts

High-confidence branch state

branch: integrate/vscode-operator-governed-review

divergence from main: 0 behind, 10 ahead

packaged surface count: 69 tools, 31 resources

repo-wide regression snapshot on 2026-03-20: 758 passed

Lane Reading Bands

Merge framing by claim lane
Current-True

Current-True In This Checkout

Current-True In This Checkout

packaged FastMCP front door with 69 tools and 31 resources

These are implemented and verified enough to claim in present tense for this local branch.

Bridge-True

Bridge-True But Real In This Branch

Bridge-True But Real In This Branch

symbolic relation-edge proof slice in hlf_mcp/hlf/symbolic_surfaces.py

These surfaces are real in the checkout, but should remain explicitly qualified.

Still-Open

Still-Open Architectural Gaps

Still-Open Architectural Gaps

full upstream routing fabric restoration

These remain open even after counting the branch improvements.

Current-True In This Checkout

Merge lane summary

These are implemented and verified enough to claim in present tense for this local branch.

  • packaged FastMCP front door with 69 tools and 31 resources
  • packaged formal-verifier behavior with structured proof reports and front-door/resource exposure
  • packaged execution-admission wiring for verifier-aware denial behavior
  • packaged governed routing/profile surfaces with route traces, capability catalogs, evidence-aware selection, and fail-closed denial when required evidence is missing
  • packaged weekly artifact handling with decision persistence and evidence-query surfaces
  • packaged governed-review normalization for spec drift, test health, ethics review, code quality, doc accuracy, and security-pattern review

Bridge-True But Real In This Branch

Merge lane summary

These surfaces are real in the checkout, but should remain explicitly qualified.

These should be described as:

  • symbolic relation-edge proof slice in hlf_mcp/hlf/symbolic_surfaces.py
  • bounded dream-cycle, media-evidence normalization, and citation-chain proposal surfaces
  • multimodal qualification and host-function contract resources
  • VS Code operator bridge scaffold under extensions/hlf-vscode/
  • implemented branch slices
  • bridge work in progress
  • not full target-state completion

Still-Open Architectural Gaps

Merge lane summary

These remain open even after counting the branch improvements.

  • full upstream routing fabric restoration
  • fuller orchestration and multi-agent delegation restoration
  • stronger unified memory-governance contracts around revocation, supersession, freshness, expiry, and trust-tier policy
  • deeper formal-verification semantics beyond the current packaged slice
  • gallery-grade operator legibility and richer trust surfaces
  • ALS-style audit sealing and signed disclosure surfaces
  • full remote recursive-build promotion through proven streamable-http initialize/smoke flow

Near-Term Merge Risks

Merge lane summary

These are the most concrete current risks for merge or public promotion.

  • governance integrity is only as strong as manifest discipline; governance/host_functions.json was re-manifested in this pass after branch changes widened the registry to 32 functions
  • public-facing docs can still lag branch reality if the new ledger and summary are not linked and kept current
  • some branch work is easy to overstate unless claim-lane discipline is preserved

Merge Reading

Merge lane summary

The branch should be read as:

That means a professional merge story is available now, but it should be phrased as:

  • materially ahead of main
  • stronger than public-main perception in operator evidence, formal verification, symbolic proof, and dream/media bridge work
  • still not the full recovered HLF architecture
  • current-truth packaged gains
  • bridge-qualified branch advances
  • explicit remaining architectural obligations

Recommended Merge Framing

Merge lane summary

If this branch is summarized for a PR, use three lanes only:

1. current-true: packaged surfaces now real in this checkout 2. bridge-true: meaningful branch slices now landed but not yet full target-state completion 3. still-open architectural gaps: constitutive work still owed after merge

Do not summarize the branch as either:

Both would be false.

  • “just docs and scaffolding”
  • or “full architectural completion”
