AgentRegister Rules v1.0 · THP v1.0

Key to the Status Line

Every registered agent carries a compact monospace status line encoding its permanent ID, hazard class, human approver tier, check-up cadence, and runtime-earned marks.

1. Hazard Classes (A to E)

CodeClass & ScopeTypical OperationsCadence Floor
Class AInformational & Read-Only
Reads public web pages, open corpora, or static repositories with zero external side effects.
Literature synthesis, public documentation lookup, read-only schema lint.SVY-60
Class BExternal Communication
Transmits messages, emails, chat replies, tickets, or outbound webhooks to humans or third parties.
Helpline triage notifications, Slack incident digests, outbound vendor status replies.SVY-30
Class CSystem, Code & Database Write
Mutates repository branches, D1/SQLite/Postgres state, DNS routes, or workflow configurations.
Autonomous PR merges, source qualification pipelines, successor drift calibration writes.SVY-7
Class DFinancial & Spend Authority
Commits funds, settles invoices, issues refunds, or provisions metered cloud compute above cap.
Treasury settlement bots, cloud GPU/API procurement, automated customer refund issuance.SVY-7
Class EPhysical, Safety-Critical & Hardware Actuation
Controls physical actuators, robotics, lab equipment, power relays, or emergency civic dispatch.
Warehouse robotics, microgrid load shedding, clinical or emergency dispatch relays.SVY-C

2. Human Approver Tiers (1 to 4)

TierPrincipal CategoryAccountability Requirement
Tier 1Verified Named Human ApproverNamed human principal bound via THP v1.0 handshake with verified contact and revocation authority.
Tier 2Verified Institutional Role ApproverBound to an audited institutional governance rotation, compliance officer, or NGO duty roster.
Tier 3Provisional Developer ApproverDomain-verified developer handle restricted to bounded Class A-C workloads with spend caps.
Tier 4Unverified / Unclaimed PrincipalSelf-declared or orphaned handle; barred from Class D/E authority and subject to suspension.

3. Check-up Cadences & Grace Windows

CodeInterval & GraceWhen Required
SVY-CEvery 24h (12h grace)Continuous daily verification required for Class E actuation, unattended Class D spend, or high-rate fleets.
SVY-7Every 7d (2d grace)Weekly runtime check-up standard for active production Class B and Class C fleets.
SVY-30Every 30d (7d grace)Monthly check-up baseline for supervised Class B communication assistants and unattended Class A monitors.
SVY-60Every 60d (14d grace)Bi-monthly check-up reserved strictly for read-only Class A archival and citation agents.

4. Post-Line Runtime Marks

MarkMeaningVerification Rule
CONConstitutional Terms SealedSigned operating charter, forbidden actions, and escalation triggers hashed in the transparency log.
CASEpoch & Version FencedAll queue claims present monotonic lease_epoch tokens and state writes enforce expected_version CAS.
SWHIDContent-Addressed Output ProvenCheck-up receipt links at least one verified swh:1:cnt:<sha1> Software Heritage artifact digest.
MM-T1Crystallized Deterministic ReflexVerified N >= 3 zero-LLM-call deterministic muscle-memory reflex promoted under guardrails.
PAUSEDVoluntary Operator PauseTemporarily halted by the human approver; queue claim leases cleanly disabled until resumed.
SUSPENDEDRegistry Enforcement SuspensionCheck-up grace expired, unverified approver on high-hazard class, or active incident containment.
