v8.3-pre-alpha – Shofar v2.0 Architectural Scaffolding

This release represents a major architectural evolution, aligning Project Agora with the new The Concordia Project v8.3 canon. The primary focus of this update is the introduction of a comprehensive, detailed implementation skeleton for the Shofar v2.0 module, replacing the previous, simpler software emulator.

This scaffolding provides a robust, professional framework for all core components described in the Shofar v2.0 whitepaper, setting the stage for full implementation.

Key Additions & Changes:

• Complete Shofar v2.0 Module Structure:

  • Introduced the new Shofar_v2.0/ package, containing a full file and sub-package structure that mirrors the whitepaper's architecture.

• Core Cognitive & Pipeline Skeleton:

  • Added placeholder files for the entire data processing pipeline: spu.py (sensor fusion), smsl.py (UPF standardization), nmc.py (social interpretation), tmw_e.py (memory), artc.py (ethical validation), and ctl.py (traceability ledger).

• Governance & Security Scaffolding:

  • Established a suite of modules for system security and governance, including keymgr.py (PQC key management), attestation.py (remote attestation), qos_scheduler.py (task prioritization), and device_registry.py.

• Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) Interfaces:

  • Created the backend structure for human oversight, including thvi.py (visualization API) and the policy_studio/ package for linting and compiling ethical policies.

• Interoperability Bridges:

  • Added the bridges/ package to ensure Shofar can act as a symbiotic co-processor for standard ML frameworks like ONNX and PyTorch/XLA.

• Developer & Testing Framework:

  • Introduced a devkit/ with tools like synthetic_sensors.py and a framework for "ethical unit tests".
  • Established a tests/ directory with an initial smoke test to ensure package integrity.

• Formal Data Schemas:

  • Created the schemas/ package to provide formal, verifiable data structures for the Unified Perceptual Field (UPF) and policy files.

• Repository Documentation:

  • Both the main README.md and the module-specific Shofar_v2.0/README.md have been completely updated to reflect the new structure and version.

v2.0-alpha1 – B.O.D.Y. and A.U.R.A. Prototype

v2.0-alpha1 – B.O.D.Y. and A.U.R.A. Prototype
Initial prototype for B.O.D.Y. framework and A.U.R.A. module, TRL 4. Includes:
