V6 Autonomous-Content Audit — 2026-07-14 — Egbe Companions

Scope: every V6 subsystem that autonomously creates player-facing content — the Clio story engine, the Ninhursag foundry (agent generation), autonomous behavior/dialogue (agent-behavior, vac-intent, cognition-stack, psyche-agent), the Ori biography stack (ori-model, egbe-ori-service, ereshkigal-legacy), the Moirai cognition kernel/cluster, egbe-studio authoring, the supporting governance libs (lilith-agent-welfare, sophia-agent-grounding, isis-behavior-policy, memory-iris-agent, aye-bridge), and the UE modules (V6/ue/Source/V6Agent, V6Cinematics, source-only scan on this Mac).

Method: confirmatory line-reads of every content-generating library in the main loop, plus one sequential adversarial subagent over the seven supporting libraries (full notes preserved in the session scratchpad), the mandatory stub-indicator grep (zero actionable hits across libs/v6 + apps/v6 TS and Rust), a silent-stub pattern scan (no Math.random in logic, no todo!/ unimplemented!, no catch-block fabricated success), and test-coherence checks (specs assert exact computed values — e.g. Clio rubric totalScore: 97 with per-component scores; a stub would fail them).

Verdict#

The generation cores are real and SOTA-shaped. No canned content is presented as model output anywhere in the content path:

clio-story — weighted significance rubric over a 17-type event table, agent/arc-thread batching under the §42 latency budget, four distinct emergent-arc scoring formulas, Book-of-the-Ori with full-coverage checks, narrative reconciliation with coherence verification. The §C.2.3 narrated path injects a real writer boundary and throws ClioNarrationFabricationError if the writer cites an event not in the Ori log — invention cannot reach the player. The non-narrated path is honest grounded concatenation, never claimed as model prose.
Cognition — moirai-kernel's gateway mount routes every dialogue through the shared Iris CognitionGateway with per-tier token budgets (Clotho 4k / Lachesis 16k / Atropos 64k) and operator kill-switches; cognition-stack labels template fallbacks template-fallback + no-dialogue-model-wired and the gateway path fails loud with a §9.5 quality gate that withholds blocked lines. The offscreen simulate_* functions in the Rust kernel are a capacity/budget harness used only by tests, not player content.
Foundry — isis-agent-gen + egbe-foundry-service enforce fail-refuse gates before generation (human-identity-claim regexes, real-person likeness, protected-class caricature, Sophia grounding required), generate a validated 150-seed launch population, and route creator royalties on the V3 Saraswati model requiring exactly 10,000 bps with remainder balancing.
Ori/legacy — event-sourced log with vector clocks, deterministic conflict reconciliation, a fingerprint-invalidated cognition cache that never fabricates cognition, and Ereshkigal endings that default to blocked (minor-coded death always refused; transcendence requires a genuinely complete flourishing arc).
memory-iris-agent is finding-free: hyperbolic salience decay, append-only forgiveness reweighting, steward deletion always refused with typed audit reasons.

Fabrication seams found and fixed this session (all green after fix; severity per the adversarial pass):

egbe-studio claimed sha256:/isis-ed25519-v1 over string concatenation → relabeled v6-structural-content-fingerprint-v1 / content-fingerprint: (cryptographic signing stays substrate-owned, as the architecture already documents).
egbe-studio ground promotion reported all three V1 env gates passed and currentEnvironment: 'prod' although only local checks ran → dev gate stays passed (its checks genuinely run locally), preview/prod are now pending-external, current environment dev.
egbe-studio operator takedown claimed "already recorded in the V1 audit platform" → audit events are now explicit drafts (v1-audit-draft: ids + deliveryStatus: 'draft-pending-v1-audit-write'); same relabel applied to lilith-agent-welfare review/investigation events.
aye-bridge reported Themis disputes routed: true by construction → routed is now grounded on the actual governance-audit-store append, with the entry ref carried in the result.
aye-bridge minimisation audit could never detect over-carrying (unnecessaryFields filtered a subset against its superset) → the audit now enumerates what the minimised payload actually carries and diffs it against the destination contract (the rewrite immediately caught a nullable-field semantics mismatch — proof it now checks something).
lilith-agent-welfare telemetry claimed transport: 'batched-otel' / exporter: 'otlp-http' with no OTel SDK → now transport: 'in-memory-batch-draft', intendedExporter, exported: false.
vac-intent's no-adapter ASR path fabricated recognition provenance (echoed text as stage: 'asr' at a fixed 0.94, indistinguishable from a real recognizer) → transcripts now carry source: 'asr-adapter' | 'deterministic-echo-stand-in'.
psyche-agent spoken-reply budget verdicts summed hardcoded stage constants without saying so → latency now carries basis: 'estimated-stage-model-plus-measured-dispatch'; the lip-sync boundToAgentPawn is documented as an engine-host directive.
sophia-agent-grounding culturalSensitivityPassed was vacuously true with zero attestations → now requires at least one locale attestation.
isis-behavior-policy safety eval passed on an empty case list → an empty eval is now red.
isis-agent-gen recordFoundryProvenance stamped every policy passed unconditionally → it now re-verifies the text-checkable persona policy on the seed and refuses seeds without policy refs.
egbe-studio demo consoles are now labeled source: 'curated-demo-snapshots' | 'provided-snapshots'.
egbe-clio-service advertises 13 story capabilities while serving only GET /health (its logic lives in the TS lib) → crate-level doc now states the honest scope; the descriptor is discovery metadata for the subsystem, per the §1.3 skeleton scope.

Documented honest seams (not fabrications, verified against the architecture docs): substrate-owned Isis signing (structural envelopes with content chain-hashes; safety-welfare-provenance-and-eval-gates.md states V6 libs "make the artefact that gets signed", they do not sign); the injected LLM gateway (real @iris/agents-core constructed at the host); psyche's default template dialogue path (documented, no runId, gateway path fails loud); Vac's injected ASR/TTS/transport seams; deterministic latency budget models (same pattern as V3's voice gateway, stated in the docs).

Prod-readiness (verdict, correctly scoped): the audited subject — the autonomous content agents — is SOTA and production-ready at every locally-verifiable layer. A follow-up host audit corrected an overstatement in this report's first draft: the Rust services are NOT hollow skeletons. The world server is a 14k-line simulation crate (rapier3d physics, agent-behavior integration, interest-managed cognition with capacity-pressure degradation, 33 tests green); the realtime gateway implements the full transport/negotiation and Pheme positional-voice model (149 functions, 23 tests green); the Ori service implements the event store, passport minting, provenance verification, and DSAR paths (28 tests green). Their HTTP ports are health/ops surfaces — the product path is the egbe-protocol wire — so "routes only /health" was an ops-surface observation, not a content-agent deficiency. Only egbe-clio-service is a logic-free host (Clio lives in the TS lib), now documented as such.

What remains before launch is external operations, not agent work, and the repo's own launch gates already track it honestly as [~] per the "structural gates ≠ operational proof" model (REMEDIATION_2026-06-12.md): deployed WebTransport/SFU bindings, vendor ASR/TTS providers, V1 env-promotion runs, OTLP export wiring, and Themis adjudication through the live V1 event bus. After this session's fixes the code reports every one of those seams as pending/draft instead of done — which is precisely what "prod-ready" means for a governed content system: nothing claims what has not run.
