ForgeRun Protocol
ForgeRun is a neutral protocol for recording and independently verifying AI and platform governance decisions using append-only trust ledgers.
What ForgeRun Provides
ForgeRun records declared governance events as immutable, timestamped facts that can be independently verified without trusting the operator. It serves as constitutional infrastructure for autonomous computational systems, providing observability, governance validation, and federation coordination.
What ForgeRun Does Not Do
ForgeRun does not judge correctness, assess safety, certify compliance, or interpret outcomes. It records events only. Interpretation and legal determination remain the responsibility of external reviewers.
Core Capabilities
- Real-time governance validation with HMAC-authenticated federation heartbeats
- Atom2 trust signals for cross-mesh communication
- ZIP-based executable governance clauses
- Append-only trust ledger with Merkle checkpoints
- Witness Layer for deterministic execution attestation
Relationship to Other Systems
ForgeRun operates independently. Other systems may emit events into ForgeRun, but no system inherits guarantees, authority, or claims from ForgeRun. The protocol enforces a Single Front Door Doctrine and strict constitutional framework.
