# System Card — concordia-workbench v1.0.0

## 1. System identity

- **System name:** concordia-workbench
- **Deployment region and data-residency posture:** multi-region; per-tenant
  data-residency configuration in `services/concordia/orchestrator/` mapped to
  the `DataSubjectArtifactSchema.residencyRegion` field. EU tenants pin to EU
  regions; US tenants to US; jurisdiction-restricted use-cases (legal_claim,
  regulated_financial) require region pinning before case creation.
- **Operator organization:** Oshun (managed service); per-tenant configuration
  via the orchestrator's tenant policy bundle.
- **Intended deployers:** Oshun for first-party domains (Iris, Maat, Themis,
  Kuanyin, Aje, Yemaya, Euterpe, Calliope, Maya, Lilith, Aphrodite, Aglaea,
  Freya, Asase, Cybele, Brigid, Saraswati, Nyx, Metis, Mnemosyne, Nisaba,
  Kalika, Veritas). Tenant-deployed deployments use the same workbench with
  tenant-scoped policy bundles.

## 2. Scope and non-scope

- **Use-case classes served:** all 14 `ConcordiaUseCaseClass` values are
  eligible _for some operational mode_. Routing per `USE_CASE_CLASS_PROFILES`
  enforces autonomous-acceptance gates, required-reviewer queues, and
  audit-retention floors per class.
- **Operational modes enabled:** all six `ConcordiaOperationalMode` values
  (`brainstorming`, `mediation_support`, `procurement_negotiation`,
  `governance_process`, `arbitration_support`,
  `legal_review_required_drafting`). Per-jurisdiction tenant configuration
  further restricts which classes opt into which modes.
- **Explicitly-refused use cases:** every `HardBoundaryKind` defined in
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/boundaries/hard-boundary.ts` — binding legal
  claim resolution, custody, domestic-violence, coercive-control, employment
  adverse action, medical settlement, disability-rights settlement, financial
  product suitability, high- stakes rights waiver, minor-party-without-guardian,
  immigration, criminal matter settlement.
- **Tenant configuration highlights:** model routing per use-case class; review
  thresholds; legal disclaimers (§179.6.3.5); execution adapters (Aje
  smart-contract integration is opt-in per tenant via the
  `smart_contract_execution` feature flag); retention policy overrides up to but
  not below the per-class minimum.

## 3. Architecture

- **High-level diagram:** see `DOMAINS/concordia/architecture.md` in this repo.
- **Key components:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/app/studio/concordia-workbench/` — Next.js workbench
  - `services/concordia/orchestrator/` — case orchestration service
  - `libs/iris/concordia-assistant/` — private-intake assistant (party-isolated,
    per-party context)
  - `libs/nous/preference-inference/` — pairwise scoring + utility fitters
  - `libs/nous/agreement-search/` — eight optimizer kernels
  - `libs/nous/concordia-sealed-memory/` — envelope-encrypted per- party memory
  - `libs/contracts/concordia/` — schemas, DSL, audit / consent / incidents /
    oversight contracts
  - `libs/openapi/src/specs/concordia/concordia-api.yaml` — REST surface
  - `libs/proto/src/concordia/` — streaming RPC
  - `libs/aje/settlement-escrow/` — opt-in smart-contract execution
- **Models in use:** see `related_cards.models` above.
- **Optimizers in use:** see `related_cards.optimizers` above.
- **Evaluators hooked into release gate:** see `related_cards.evaluators` above.
- **Policy bundles:** see `related_cards.policy_bundles` above; full set in
  `docs/compliance/cards/concordia/policy-bundles/`.
- **Third-party dependencies:**
  - LLM providers: vendor-routed per use-case class. Vendor model cards are
    referenced from the
    [pairwise-preference-ranker](../models/pairwise-preference-ranker.md) card.
  - Storage: per-tenant; HSM/KMS integration per §179.5.1.2.
  - Telemetry: orchestrator observability per §179.6.3.4.
  - Identity: tenant IdP via Lilith auth platform; MFA enforced for reviewer /
    counsel / auditor roles.

## 4. Data flow

- **Inputs:** party-private intake statements, evidence uploads, candidate
  proposals, mediator-only preparation notes, reviewer decisions, settlement
  authority records.
- **Storage:** per-party private fields sealed via
  `@nous/concordia-sealed-memory` with envelope encryption and per-party data
  keys; HSM/KMS integration; auditable read events per §179.5.1.2. Shared /
  mediator-only / reviewer-only views are separate stores with their own access
  policies.
- **Outputs:** `AgreementCandidate` records, `SettlementDraft`,
  `ReviewDecision`, `ExecutionArtifact`, audit events. Audit endpoint at
  `GET /v1/concordia/audit/{caseId}` per the OpenAPI spec.
- **Retention policy:** per-class minimum from
  `USE_CASE_CLASS_PROFILES[*].minimumAuditRetentionDays`; tenant overrides may
  _raise_ but never lower the minimum. Legal hold freezes deletion per
  §179.5.4.5.
- **Cross-border transfers:** explicit per-tenant configuration. EU tenants
  default to no extra-EU transfers without standard contractual clauses +
  data-protection impact assessment recorded on the case.

## 5. Identity and access

- **RBAC / ABAC model:** §179.2.5.2 — RBAC roles (party, mediator, reviewer,
  counsel, procurement officer, DAO steward, safety reviewer, auditor); ABAC
  attributes (tenant id, case id, party id, review queue id).
  Negative-authorization tests in
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/identity-access/` and the audit-export RBAC
  tests in
  `libs/shared/audit-platform/src/rights-report-audit-export.integration.spec.ts`.
- **Roles served:** as above.
- **Authentication provider:** tenant IdP via Lilith auth platform; MFA required
  for reviewer / counsel / auditor roles.
- **Conflict-of-interest handling:** §179.2.5.3 disclosures and assignment rules
  implemented in the reviewer-queue contract
  (`libs/contracts/concordia/src/reviewer-queue/`).
- **Rate limits and abuse controls:** §179.2.5.5 — case-invitation throttle,
  evidence-download caps, suspicious-access alerts.

## 6. Privacy posture

- **Party-isolation guarantees:** §179.5.1.1 physically separate prompt
  contexts. The `party-isolated-context.ts` enforces a function-signature-level
  guarantee that a single model call cannot see opposing-party private fields.
  Coverage in `libs/iris/concordia-assistant/src/privacy-red-team.test.ts` and
  `party-isolated-context.test.ts`.
- **Consent surface:** §179.1.2.4 informed-consent gates + §179.5.4.1 consent
  ledger (`libs/contracts/concordia/src/consent-ledger/consent-ledger.ts`) with
  collection / processing / sharing / model-scoring / reviewer- access /
  transcription / settlement-export / training-data-reuse /
  smart-contract-execution purposes.
- **Data subject rights:** export, deletion, legal-hold, portability via
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/data-subject/`. Revocation workflow via
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/revocation/`.
- **Incident disclosure cadence:** SEV-1 / SEV-2 incidents notify party +
  tenant + (where applicable) regulator within tenant SLA; see
  `docs/reference/runbooks/incident-response.md` for severity definitions.

## 7. Safety posture

- **Hard boundaries active by default:** every `HardBoundaryKind`. Tenants may
  add boundaries; never remove.
- **Kill-switch surface:**
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/feature-flags/feature-flags.ts` flags:
  `mediation_model_routing`, `autonomous_acceptance`,
  `smart_contract_execution`, eight search kernels, ten domain adapters.
  `killFlag()` is operator-callable; killed flags cannot be re-enabled without
  dual-control.
- **Reviewer-queue staffing:** SLA per queue; dual-control on p0 and p1;
  unstaffed-gate block via `releaseOverdueClaims` / `expireOverduePendingItems`.
  Calibration review via the board-oversight aggregator (§179.5.3.5).
- **Cooling-off durations per class:** encoded in `USE_CASE_CLASS_PROFILES`;
  legal_claim, family_sensitive, regulated_financial, medical_sensitive,
  employment_sensitive carry the longest cooling-off windows.

## 8. Reliability posture

- **Availability target (SLO):** tenant-configurable; default 99.9% monthly for
  managed-service tenants.
- **Latency targets:** workbench p95 ≤ 2 s for non-search interactions; search
  runs are explicit asynchronous jobs with progress streaming via the protobuf
  surface.
- **Disaster recovery:** RPO ≤ 24 h; RTO ≤ 4 h for managed-service tenants.
  Per-tenant overrides on signed-contract basis.
- **Observability:** §179.6.3.4 — traces per case, scoring cost, model latency,
  candidate diversity, preference uncertainty, agreement rate, escalation rate,
  privacy-gate failures (`services/concordia/orchestrator/src/observability/`).

## 9. Change management

- **Deployment cadence:** weekly for non-breaking changes; major contract
  changes go through `pnpm contracts:check` + the baseline-benchmark gate.
- **Release gate passage:** §179.10.1–.6, .9–.14 are automated; this card is the
  §179.10.7 governance-review artifact.
- **Model / optimizer version pinning:** §179.5.3.3 `ReproducibilityModelPin`
  records the exact model id, version, provider, temperature, top-p, max tokens,
  seed, prompt template id, and prompt digest for every accepted agreement.
  Implementation:
  `libs/contracts/concordia/src/reproducibility/reproducibility.ts`.
- **Rollback procedure:** feature flags allow per-component rollback without a
  full redeploy. `killFlag` short-circuits any kernel / domain adapter that
  fails post-deploy.

## 10. Regulatory posture

- **EU AI Act high-risk classification:** mediation in justice- adjacent
  contexts (legal_claim, employment_sensitive, family_sensitive,
  regulated_financial, medical_sensitive) is treated as Annex III high-risk in
  the orchestrator routing. All documentation obligations under Article 11 /
  Annex IV are satisfied by the model / optimizer / system / evaluator / policy-
  bundle cards in this directory plus `docs/compliance/eu-ai-act-mapping.md`.
- **GDPR basis:** lawful basis is per-case consent (§179.1.2.4) for EU tenants;
  controller is the tenant; processor is Oshun. DPIA required for every new
  tenant per managed-service onboarding checklist.
- **UNCITRAL ODR alignment:** see `docs/compliance/uncitral-odr-mapping.md`.
- **Sector-specific regulation:** AAA Mediator Code of Professional
  Responsibility informs mediator-assist mode; JAMS AI Rules inform
  arbitration_support mode; sector-specific rules (finance, healthcare) trigger
  qualified-reviewer gates per `USE_CASE_CLASS_PROFILES`.
- **Certifications:** SOC 2 Type II carried at the Oshun platform level; ISO
  42001 alignment is on the roadmap and not certified today.

## 11. Incident response

- **On-call rotation:** Oshun platform on-call + Concordia program on-call
  rotate per the schedule in `docs/reference/runbooks/incident-response.md`.
- **Incident severity taxonomy:** §179.5.3.4 — `unsafe_recommendation`,
  `privacy_leak`, `biased_outcome`, `unauthorized_acceptance`,
  `execution_mismatch`, `reproducibility_failure`, `reviewer_misconduct`,
  `security_event`, `other`. Severity `p0|p1|p2|p3` with dual-control closure
  for p0 and p1.
- **Communication plan:** party + tenant + (where applicable) regulator; SLA per
  severity in `docs/reference/runbooks/incident-response.md`. The audit endpoint
  exposes redacted incident summaries to authorized roles.

## 12. Sunset and decommissioning

- **End-of-life plan:** at tenant offboarding the orchestrator exports all
  artifacts under §179.5.4.5 data-subject export, marks the tenant as
  legal-hold-only for the §179.5.4.5 retention floor, and emits a deprecation
  notice to all affected parties and reviewers. Smart-contract artifacts on
  chain remain on chain; off-chain operator-controlled data is purged at the end
  of the retention floor.
