## Current direction

Latticra is being built as a contract-first open systems architecture and programming-language project.

The public direction is:

```text
open source
auditable
defensive
contract-driven
evidence-bound
operator-visible
security-conscious from the beginning
constrained C/C++ foundation
```

The current security-guidance posture is aligned across the high-assurance baseline, memory-safety roadmap, supply-chain baseline, zero-trust runtime authority baseline, and runtime-boundary policy expansion. Those records now carry explicit workload or service identity, operator identity, host or device integrity, command-boundary, update-integrity, and retained-C/C++ hazard-class expectations while preserving Latticra's no-compliance-claim and no-production-security-boundary posture.

The current working edge checkpoint is `v0.3.0edge`: Latticra now recognizes bounded local operator effects in guarded adjacent lanes. That posture is visible through the no-effect `latticra --effect-status` report and does not open root authority, network authority, USB writes, QEMU runs, package-manager operations, kernel/service/boot authority, or production-readiness claims.

## C/C++ foundation checkpoint

```text
C is the metal.
C++ is the disciplined structure.
Latticra is the contract.
```

Meaning:

```text
C: secure substrate, boot paths, ABI boundaries, platform shims.
C++: governed authority layer, policy, validators, effect gates, audit logic.
Lat / Latticra Language: contract, semantic validation, metadata lowering, and declaration layer.
```

This does not mean unrestricted C++.

## Current Lat language boundary

```

The current Lat grammar report metadata integration copies the first parsed declaration kind/name/source/first-clause metadata and first parsed clause keyword/name/operator/value/effect into deterministic grammar reports when parsing succeeds.

The current Lat grammar line-comment metadata refinement records deterministic comment count and first-comment span metadata in parse results and grammar reports. Comments remain no-effect metadata, can carry otherwise forbidden marker words, and do not change clause parsing or operator behavior.

The current Lat grammar unsupported block-comment rejection refinement rejects block-comment openers outside strings and line comments with a deterministic `unsupported_block_comment` parse error. Block-comment marker text inside string literals remains ordinary string content.

The current Lat model normalization implementation consumes parser and semantic metadata, builds typed declaration and clause index tables for states, policies, transitions, assertions, and effect declarations, resolves transition source-state metadata, preserves source spans and no-effect flags, and emits deterministic normalization reports.

The current Lat model report declaration metadata integration copies the first normalized declaration index, kind, name, source name, parse index, first-clause index, clause count, and source declaration index into deterministic model normalization reports.

The current Lat model report clause metadata integration copies the first normalized clause role, effect, name, operator, value, and index into deterministic model normalization reports without evaluating operators or changing normalization behavior.

The current Lat-to-LIR lowering implementation consumes normalized Lat model metadata directly, creates a `lat_module` LIR shape, preserves source spans, no-effect flags, model counts, transition source indices, declaration metadata, and clause operator metadata, and emits deterministic lowering reports. The older parser-plus-semantic lowering entry point remains available as a compatibility wrapper that normalizes a local model first.

The current Lat-to-LIR declaration metadata refinement copies the first lowered declaration node index, kind, name, source name, parse index, first-clause index, clause count, and source declaration index into deterministic lowering reports.

The current Lat-to-LIR clause metadata refinement stores clause operators in LIR node metadata and reports the first lowered clause role, effect, name, operator, value, and node index for deterministic audit visibility.

The current Lat-to-LIR diagnostic refinement classifies lowering outcomes as valid, parse, semantic, model, effect-check, capacity, LIR, or internal, copies first-declaration and first-clause metadata from lowering results, and preserves no-effect behavior without changing lowering behavior.

The current Lat-to-LIR diagnostic declaration metadata integration copies first lowered declaration node index, kind, name, source name, parse index, first-clause index, clause count, and source declaration index into deterministic diagnostic reports.

The current Lat pipeline composes Lat source parsing, semantic validation, Lat model normalization, model-driven Lat-to-LIR lowering, LIR metadata, deterministic pipeline reporting, and companion diagnostic reporting into one no-effect integration path. The original pipeline entry point remains available, and a model-aware entry point can return the normalized model to callers.

The current Lat pipeline comment metadata integration copies parser line-comment count and first-comment span metadata into deterministic `LAT PIPELINE REPORT` output while preserving no execution, no operator evaluation, and no runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline report declaration metadata integration copies first lowered declaration node index, kind, name, source name, parse index, first-clause index, clause count, and source declaration index from the lowering result into deterministic `LAT PIPELINE REPORT` output without evaluating operators or changing pipeline behavior.

The current Lat pipeline report clause metadata integration copies first lowered clause role, effect, name, operator, value, and node index from the lowering result into deterministic `LAT PIPELINE REPORT` output without evaluating operators or changing pipeline behavior.

The current Lat pipeline diagnostic integration combines pipeline error/stage state with Lat semantic diagnostic class, semantic error, diagnostic count, first-diagnostic indices, model-stage classification, and optional Lat-to-LIR lowering diagnostic metadata.

The current Lat pipeline diagnostic comment metadata integration copies parser line-comment count and first-comment span metadata into deterministic pipeline diagnostic reports without evaluating operators or changing pipeline behavior.

The current Lat parse-failure comment evidence propagation guard verifies that line comments before an unsupported block-comment parse failure remain visible through pipeline reports, pipeline diagnostics, and denied runtime-boundary records without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline failure span evidence propagation copies parser diagnostic/module spans into the pipeline result, pipeline diagnostic reports, and runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so parse-failure locations remain visible without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline parse-error evidence propagation copies parser error labels into pipeline diagnostic reports and runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so parse-failure reasons remain visible without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline semantic-error evidence propagation copies semantic error labels into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so semantic-failure reasons remain visible without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline downstream stage-error evidence propagation copies model, lowering, and LIR error labels into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so downstream-stage failure reasons remain visible without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline stage-summary evidence propagation copies last-completed stage, failed stage, per-stage OK flags, no-effect-chain status, and evidence level into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so boundary records preserve the pipeline audit summary without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline module/count evidence propagation copies module identity, parser declaration/clause counts, and model declaration/clause counts into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so boundary records preserve the source/model shape summary without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline first-declaration evidence propagation copies first lowered declaration node, kind, name, source, parse index, clause span/count, source index, and first transition source index into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so boundary records preserve declaration identity without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat pipeline first-clause evidence propagation copies first lowered clause node, role, effect, name, operator, and value into runtime-boundary Lat pipeline evidence so boundary records preserve clause identity without adding execution or runtime authority.

The current Lat-specific LIR refinement makes Lat declarations and transition-source edges explicit in LIR while preserving source spans, counts, and no-effect flags.

It does not provide Lat execution, Lat interpretation, Lat compilation, LIR execution, runtime behavior, command execution, state mutation, file I/O, network I/O, recovery behavior, hardware behavior, or operating-system behavior.

## Current C++ authority boundary

The C++ authority layer is contract-bound, implementation-plan-bound, and represented by its first no-effect implementation slice plus an implementation review.

Planning milestone preserved:

```text
Constrained C++ authority layer implementation plan
```

It currently implements no-effect authority behavior only:

```text
explicit status labels
explicit effect labels
explicit validator labels
fixed-capacity audit records
Lat parse-result metadata validation
LIR shape metadata validation
effect classification without performing effects
deterministic authority report rendering
```

The authority implementation review confirmed that the layer remains no-effect, metadata-only, fixed-capacity, and denied-by-default.

The implementation does not provide unrestricted C++ authority, an effect-performing implemented C++ authority layer, runtime execution, mutation authority, file authority, network authority, recovery authority, hardware authority, or production security guarantees.

## Current L-UI rendering boundary

The L-UI rendering lane has a contract, implementation plan, first no-effect C implementation, and detailed report refinement.

The current renderer provides deterministic operator-visible text reports over already validated L-UI/LIR metadata and a C-compatible authority summary.

It does not provide terminal control, interactive UI behavior, command behavior, Lat execution, LIR execution, Nucleus effect execution, mutation, file I/O, network I/O, recovery behavior, hardware behavior, or production UI claims.

## Current Nucleus task boundary

The Nucleus task execution lane has a contract, implementation plan, first no-effect C classification/report implementation, deterministic task report refinement, no-effect report alignment, and report-only execution metadata refinement.

Planning and implementation milestones preserved:

```text
Nucleus task execution implementation plan
Nucleus task execution implementation
Nucleus task report refinement
Nucleus task no-effect report alignment
Nucleus task report-only execution refinement
Nucleus task report-only execution README/status alignment
Nucleus report-only announcement review
Nucleus report-only announcement README alignment
```

The current implementation provides denied-by-default task classification and deterministic task reports with explicit request kinds, effects, policies, denial reasons, authorization labels, prerequisite status, authority metadata, preview prerequisites, no-effect-chain status, no-effect-policy status, representation-gate status, execution status, effect status, runtime status, and no-effect flags.

The report-only execution refinement makes the execution boundary explicit with `execution_status=not-executed`, `effect_status=report-only`, and `runtime_status=not-entered` while preserving non-execution behavior.

The no-new-announcement review confirms that the recent Nucleus report-only and project-notes slices were documentation/status alignment only and did not justify a separate public announcement entry.

It does not implement effect-performing Nucleus task execution, command behavior, mutation, network behavior, recovery behavior, hardware behavior, boot behavior, rollback, public-product readiness, or production runtime claims.

## Current runtime boundary

The runtime boundary lane now has a contract, implementation plan, initial no-effect C API/report surface, no-effect Lat evidence refinement, Lat pipeline comment evidence reporting, runtime boundary report refinement, runtime boundary policy matrix refinement, runtime boundary policy expansion after threat-model validation, runtime boundary domain matrix refinement, runtime boundary domain matrix report integration, and main-test audit coverage.

Planning milestone preserved:

```text
Runtime boundary implementation plan
```

The current implementation adds the public runtime boundary header, source file, smoke invariants, report entry point, implementation record, and dedicated runtime-boundary workflow. It establishes a compileable boundary surface while preserving a disabled-by-default posture.

The current runtime boundary domain matrix evaluator classifies resolved boundary domains as declarative, operational, future-gated, blocked, invalid, or unknown.

The current runtime boundary domain matrix report integration renders deterministic report fields for matrix cell, domain label, domain flags, effect-allowed state, authority-available state, and evidence level.

The current runtime boundary policy expansion after threat-model validation maps request families, effect families, authority prerequisites, future gates, threat-model abuse cases, and remaining evidence gaps while preserving no-effect behavior.

The current runtime boundary Lat pipeline comment evidence integration copies Lat pipeline line-comment count and first-comment span metadata into deterministic runtime-boundary records and reports, including denied failed-pipeline records, without granting execution or runtime authority.

It does not implement effect-performing runtime behavior, command execution, Lat execution, LIR execution, task effect execution, mutation, file I/O, network I/O, recovery behavior, rollback, hardware behavior, boot behavior, terminal control, sandboxing, or production runtime claims.

## Public entry-point posture

The recent Nucleus report-only announcement README alignment refreshed README, the project-notes index, root status, current status, the status index, and the foundation index after the Nucleus report-only announcement review.

That alignment was documentation/status-only. It did not add a public announcement entry, implementation behavior, capability posture change, or completion-estimate change.

## Mission target

The long-term mission is to build a complete open-source operating-system universe and programming-language stack that makes unsafe behavior harder to hide and easier to inspect.

This includes long-term defensive goals against malware, ransomware, unauthorized persistence, hidden mutation, unclear execution, and opaque system behavior.

## Target users

Primary target users include:

- intellectuals;
- scientists;
- computer scientists;
- security researchers;
- defensive engineering teams;
- infrastructure maintainers;
- government infrastructure stakeholders.

Previous policy/evidence slice: Runtime boundary policy expansion after threat-model validation.

Completion estimate review after runtime-boundary abuse-case fixtures keeps the planning estimates unchanged because capability posture, public readiness, security hardening, and runtime authority did not change.

Completion estimate review README/status alignment makes that hold review discoverable from README and status surfaces without changing capability posture, public readiness, security hardening, completion estimates, or runtime authority.

Current estimate table source alignment makes the live public estimate table source explicit from README, root status, detailed status, status index, foundation index, and project notes without changing estimates or runtime authority.

Current estimate mathematical rebase updates the live public estimate table to a weighted 48% overall planning estimate after the 2026-05-28 Seal signed-receipt proof-path, Panel signed-updater denial/disposition, OS image artifact manifest, platform boot/firmware integrity, supply-chain guard, installer UI sanitization, public documentation, strategy, and public-entry alignment push while preserving no production behavior change, no product-security claim, no product-readiness claim, no update authority, no bootable OS readiness, and no runtime authority.

The current recommended review lane is:

```text
Guarded Model-1 effect demonstration evidence boundary.
```

Completion estimate review should now treat bounded local effects as a capability-posture change, but it must not turn local effect visibility into a production-readiness claim.

The current project rule is: Keep v0.3.0edge effect posture aligned while bounded local effects remain separated from root, network, USB, QEMU, package-manager, kernel, service, boot, and production-readiness authority.

The current transition-intake rule is: future effect-runner, build-profile, and Model-1 bridge work must pass through an effect contract schema, evidence record contract, allowlist boundary, build-profile boundary, Model-1 bridge contract, and Model-1 import/mixed-build review boundary before capability promotion.

The first through sixth transition-intake boundaries are now satisfied by the no-effect effect contract schema, evidence record contract, allowlist boundary, build-profile boundary, effect-runner implementation review boundary, separate-build platform integration review boundary, Model-1 bridge protocol contract, and Model-1 import and mixed-build review boundary. The allowlist boundary still requires `operator_usable_workflow_required=1`. The bridge protocol records `bridge_message_format_required=1`, `trace_correlation_required=1`, `authority_handoff_required=1`, and `target_evidence_fields_required=1`; the import/mixed-build boundary records `import_scope_review_required=1`, `mixed_build_layout_review_required=1`, and `bridge_protocol_compatibility_required=1` while keeping `model1_bridge_execution_performed=0`, `model1_process_launch_performed=0`, `model1_import_accepted=0`, `mixed_build_promotion_accepted=0`, and `runtime_authority_granted=0`. The next natural path is the guarded Model-1 effect demonstration evidence boundary, still without launching Model-1 or dispatching effects.

The computational proof foundation now makes Latticra's scientific direction explicit: simulation-bound reality remains a research hypothesis, not a claim, and any future proof lane must expose proof objects, falsifier conditions, observer boundaries, physics constraint models, receipts, replay requirements, and adversarial review before promotion.

The computational math and physics evaluation now places math review before physics coupling and visual demonstration. It requires state-space, transition-operator, invariant, observer-projection, measurement, physics-observable, alternative-explanation, and falsifier fields before the substrate-engine visual storyboard can be treated as ready for rendering review. The parallel next proof lane is:

The Speculum premise now names the clarifying mirror beside the simulacrum, preserving simulation-bound reality language as a bounded research premise while denying reality-simulation proof, physics measurement, metaphysical claim promotion, runtime execution, effect execution, and public certainty performance.

The proof-object lane now has guarded records for emergent particle mass, Higgs counterplay, Higgs causal closure no-go, identity-replay impedance, the candidate-particle target table, the L0 executable falsifier runner, the L1 constrained search, the L2 pre-registration gate, the L3 external blinded-holdout intake, the L4 blinded-holdout execution gate, the L5 oracle evidence-review gate, the Model-1 dynamic substrate runner, the Model-1 bounded range falsifier, the Model-2 hierarchical pre-registration, the Model-2 prediction runner, the Model-2 prediction failure analysis, the Model-3 worthiness gate, the Model-3 topological amplification pre-registration, the Model-3 prediction runner, the Model-3 rejection analysis, the Model-3 failure visual suite, the refined Model-3 pre-registration, and the Higgs challenge one-page verifier. Proof Object 4 is the original Latticra center of gravity: mass as replay-stable projected identity cost, with Higgs treated as effective physics that must pass a coupling-shadow test.

## Current non-claim

Latticra does not currently prevent malware or ransomware, provide a hardened sandbox, replace an operating system, provide unrestricted C++ authority, provide an effect-performing C++ authority layer, provide effect-performing Nucleus task execution, provide effect-performing runtime behavior, provide command execution, provide interactive L-UI rendering, provide terminal-control L-UI rendering, provide a Lat runtime, provide Lat execution, provide LIR execution, or provide a production security boundary.

Those are long-term goals and design targets, not current claims.
