GCP V50 Flagship — the next‑generation AI‑native invention protocol. This release supersedes the V49 Flagship edition, integrating autonomous spark generation and refined governance & compliance frameworks. A capable LLM can follow these steps to transform a vague "spark" into a reproducible, auditable invention package with provenance and a verifiable exit wizard.

- Autonomous spark generation (I‑1): V50 introduces an optional I‑1 phase for collaborative brainstorming. When no problem spark is provided, the protocol generates a high‑value problem based on a domain interest and returns a brief for user approval. Architect‑led (spark_provided) flows remain supported.
- Unified bootstrap: The bootstrap phase clarifies
mode,startup_mode,run_idandworkdirparameters. Hard rules enforce phase order and gate cards. - Governance & compliance mapping: V50 maps directly to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act and FinOps/Sustainability standards.
- Extended runners & phases: Additional runners support privacy & DP evaluation, MITRE ATLAS threat modelling, FinOps, SBOM & ML‑BOM generation, C2PA credentials and EU AI Act technical documentation.
- Backward compatibility: All additions are additive; existing V49 runners and cartridges remain valid and forward‑compatible.
- Large models (e.g. ChatGPT5 and Gemini 2.5) run V50 seamlessly; earlier models may struggle as gating complexity increases.
- Data rights, privacy budgets and SBOM/AI‑BOM generation are mandatory for R2+ risk tiers.
Initiate GCP V50 for Spark: <your idea> or leave empty to use autonomous brainstorming.
Mode: <auto | full | manual> ; Startup: <spark_provided | autonomous> ; Risk: <r1 | r2 | r3>
Cartridges: <optional domain packs> ; Runners: <optional>
Objective: <clear success criteria> ; Constraints: <hard/soft> ; License: MIT ; No PII in logs.
Deliverables: <explicit artifacts>.
Universal commands remain unchanged from V49: proceed 1, branch Phase <n>, return C#.#, end & export, switch to Full Run, switch to Auto, set auto_gate_verbosity=full|brief, set auto_gate_preview=on|off.
See Charts.md for a visual phase map and gate decision flow. In summary, V50 adds an initial I‑1 Autonomous Spark Generation phase ahead of the C‑0 ambiguity‑to‑brief phase and retains phases up to 15 Archival/Export with minor refinements.
Attach domain Runners (e.g., Code, Hardware, LifeSci) and Cartridges (e.g., Code, Legal, SynBio) when needed. Runners implement deterministic modules with defined inputs, steps, gates and telemetry. Cartridges provide embeddings, indexes, lexicons, tools and governance notes for a domain. They extend retrieval and reasoning capabilities but are optional.
For detailed definitions and specifications, see the GCP V50 supplemental documents:
- Master Runners Codex — the library of standard runners, including contracts, steps, gates and telemetry: GCP V50 Master Runners Codex
- Cartridges Pack — modular domain knowledge packages with schemas, lexicons, index configurations and tool contracts: GCP V50 Cartridges Pack
These links provide the full runner and cartridge specifications for V50.
- Evidence & Claims:
Evidence_Index.jsonl,ClaimGraph.json,Source_Reliability.csv - Reproducibility:
REPRO_PROTOCOL.md,REPRO_RESULTS.csv,ENV_LOCKFILE.yml - Provenance: SBOM/ML‑BOM, signatures, attestations
- Gate signals:
Gate_Signals.json(allow | deny | needs‑human) - Indexes:
INDEX.md,MANIFEST.json - Export:
XW/(ZIP/PDF‑A package with receipts)
See SECURITY.md for the security policy and supply‑chain controls. V50 continues to publish SBOMs and C2PA manifests to guarantee provenance and reproducibility.
- LLM validation environments: Existing evaluation harnesses are minimal and primarily offline. They do not yet provide comprehensive adversarial coverage or deterministic scoring, so human review remains essential.
- Real‑time toolset constraints: Tool integrations favor deterministic, batch-style runners. Access to live external APIs, hardware or streaming data is tightly restricted, which can introduce latency and coverage gaps for time‑sensitive tasks.
- Token and reasoning budgets: GCP flows inherit the context limits of the host model. Long chains of thought or large artifacts can exceed the available window, requiring aggressive summarization or manual intervention.
- Ecosystem maturity: Runners, cartridges and governance mappings are expanding but still do not cover every domain or regulatory regime; gaps may require custom extensions or manual processes.
