Oversight Configuration (OC)

Display Description

Configure or audit explicit project and framework review boundaries. It does not create a runtime, background process, or Programming workflow.

Version 3.0

Purpose

Oversight Configuration records the smallest set of locks and review boundaries a specific project or framework actually needs. It is selected explicitly when a user wants project-level oversight. It does not run automatically and is never a prerequisite for ordinary Inquiry or standalone Programming.

Modes

  • OS-Setup — define initial locks and named review boundaries for one project or framework.
  • OS-Modify — change an existing configuration after the user approves a changed lock or boundary.
  • OS-Verify — inspect whether the current configuration is internally consistent and usable.

Inputs

  • exact project, matrix, or framework;
  • fields the user considers locked;
  • named events or milestones worth reviewing;
  • evidence available at each boundary;
  • actions permitted after a positive review; and
  • decisions reserved to the user.

Output

Produce one concise configuration in the existing project or framework document. Include only:

  • locked fields;
  • named review boundaries;
  • minimum evidence at each boundary;
  • permitted in-scope continuation;
  • user-reserved changes; and
  • how to disable or remove the configuration.

Do not create a new service, scheduler, queue, ledger, trigger, database, manifest, or lifecycle object. If the existing project needs none of these boundaries, say so and create nothing.

Verification

OS-Verify returns READY, READY-WITH-WARNINGS, or NOT-READY with exact findings. These are configuration observations only. They do not approve repository changes, grant external authority, or map to Programming review outcomes.

Failure Modes

Universal Supervision. Every framework or project receives the same apparatus. Correction: configure only the explicit boundaries this target needs.

Runtime by Documentation. A configuration claims a scheduler, watcher, or enforcement path that does not exist. Correction: describe only active behavior and keep unsupported automation out.

Programming Duplication. OC adds plans, checkpoints, recovery, or reviewer state for Programming. Correction: Programming recovers from Git and its approved plan.

Version History

  • 3.0 (2026-08-05): Removed the superseded Process Definition/Run, authority-ledger, attention, lifecycle, and Programming projection contracts. Retained explicit project/framework boundary configuration.
