Universal Observations Runtime

Phase IX · V6 — the read side of the spine. Given an immutable ExecutionResult (V5), it records deterministic observations: normalized metrics, timeline, artifacts, failures and warnings — for replay, audit, memory, and future cognition. Latency + cost are NOT measured (the execution boundary is deferred). Mutates nothing, executes nothing, accesses no credentials. Inherits the A0 Kernel lifecycle. Read-only.

Honest metrics. The execution boundary is deferred (V5), so real latency and cost were never actually measured — V6 records them as null · not-measured rather than fabricating a number. What is deterministically present (action / dispatch / credential / event / artifact counts, ordinal span, retries=0) is recorded as measured. Fail-closed: an unresolvable or inconsistent execution record produces a deterministic observation failure, never inferred state.

The Universal Observations Runtime is the read side of the spine: it consumes an immutable ExecutionResult (V5), re-validates it, verifies it is replay-stable (checksum), and normalizes it into a deterministic ObservationRecord — capturing outcome, provider, grant consumption, normalized metrics, the event timeline, artifacts (by reference), and any failure or warning signals. Observed records are appended to an append-only ledger and prepared as a handoff for the future Memory Runtime (M24) and a future Cognitive Runtime. It records credential resolution counts only — never a credential name or value — and it records latency and cost as not-measured, because the execution boundary is deferred and it never fabricates or infers state. Fail-closed: an unresolvable or inconsistent execution record yields a deterministic observation failure. It mutates no execution state, performs no execution, invokes no providers, accesses no credentials, and inherits the A0 Intelligence Kernel lifecycle, redefining no boot behavior.
