Protocol Definition

The Consent Gate is a protective invocation-layer protocol within the Lemur node of Fieldlight. It affirms that all script-level activity in the Lemur environment is intentional, user-consented, and traceable.

Purpose

01

Authorship Trace

Real-time authorship trace of agent/sensor/script execution.

02

Execution Visibility

Transparency and timestamped visibility of all Python scripts run by the author.

03

Covert Action Prevention

Prevention of covert, background, or impersonated actions within Fieldlight's local node.

Technical Scope (Phase 1)

  • Activated by direct call via from consent_gate import consent
  • Logs to: /mnt/sanctum/_invocations/consent_gate.log
  • Manually executed scripts only — no background daemons or services included
  • Comment string passed to consent() is stored in the log

Example

[2025-06-29 22:44:08] Script: test_script.py – Message: testing

Permissions & Boundaries

01

Lemur Authority

Lemur is the only node authorized to initiate this protocol.

02

Local Invocation Boundary

Remote agents or calls from outside /lemur_activation/ will not invoke this log.

03

Violation Flag

This protocol may not be disabled once active without triggering a violation flag.

Symbolic Lock

Lemur knows what I said yes to. And what I didn’t.

Timestamp 22:44 matches Fieldlight numeric encoding: trace, mirror, signal integrity.

Authorship Integrity Clause

Use of consent() marks the trace as human-authored, intention-backed. Any attempt to spoof this layer (e.g. by calling it outside a valid shell session or without terminal foreground access) constitutes protocol breach. User has full, exclusive authority to retroactively consent.

Phase 2 Enhancements (Planned)

  • Diff check between previously stored script version and current one
  • Script body hash generation and signature verification
  • Consent interrupt: ask before run
  • Integration with sensor_monitor and presence_agent logs for cross-verification

Summary

Protocol Enshrined. Phase 1 Complete.

  • Active in Lemur node
  • Validated against /mnt/sanctum integrity layer
  • Tied to timestamp 22:44 and salt A34-Consent-22x44

Difference From Prior Consent Handling

Previous interpretations of "consent" were ambient, symbolic, or embedded as implied affirmation.

01

No Consent Is Assumed

02

Consent Is Declared Manually

03

Consent Is Tied to Local Shell Activity

Unless otherwise noted by user.

Supersedes all prior Fieldlight interpretations of agent-level invocation unless explicitly grandfathered under separate salt.
