Governed AI execution corridors. Receipts before reach.

Blaze separates AI reasoning from execution authority. Agents can propose, summarize, and explain. The runtime decides whether touch is technically reachable.

Integration Paths Whitepaper Current Proof
1. Core primitives

The Blaze control room is built from gates, receipts, and side-effect certificates.

Runtime gates

Feature and execution boundaries that keep sensitive lanes closed unless a narrow precondition is satisfied.

Receipts

Structured evidence objects that record consumed dependencies, verified states, blocked behaviors, and next recommended steps.

Side-effect certificates

Proof that dangerous behavior did not happen: no call, no read, no decrypt, no write, no queue, no hidden execution.

Operator surfaces

Human cockpit pages show cards and badges while API routes expose raw JSON for audit and export.

Connector adapters

External systems enter as governed signal adapters, not free-form automation clients.

Fail-closed posture

Missing receipts, incomplete scope, absent consent, or failed audits keep the path locked.

2. Route split

One state, two operator views.

Blaze separates human-readable cockpit pages from raw receipt endpoints. This makes the same proof chain useful for operators and auditors.

/operator/signals/... = operator-facing UI /operator/api/signals/... = raw receipt JSON php artisan blaze:v2d... = terminal receipt and JSON
3. Authority lifecycle

Authority is earned in stages, never assumed from route presence or UI display.

  1. Display-only preview: define shape, wording, expected fields, UI contract, and future requirements.
  2. Audit: verify the preview’s integrity and confirm it did not become authority.
  3. Non-authority smoke: test that the boundary cannot act as consent, scope, token access, DB access, request dispatch, or external contact.
  4. Smoke audit: audit the smoke result and preserve side-effect proof.
  5. Operator consent: later explicit consent may be accepted only in its own audited lane.
  6. Scope binding: define endpoint, fields, tenant, request count, redaction rules, and forbidden expansions.
  7. Credential boundary: separate token lookup, decrypt, refresh, use, exposure, storage, and logging.
  8. One-request guard: prevent pagination, retries, queues, background jobs, or second requests unless separately authorized.
  9. Redaction contract: block raw IDs, secrets, raw responses, and sensitive payloads before display or persistence.
  10. Post-read audit and final authority grant: record what happened and what stayed blocked before any future expansion.
4. Current Shopify corridor state

The latest corridor proves the consent boundary without accepting consent.

As of v2d.19b.62, the operator consent boundary has been previewed, audited, and smoke-tested as non-authority. The readiness gate remains closed and the readiness hold remains active.

Authority pathDoes not exist now.
ConsentUnaccepted, phrase unstored, hash unstored.
Token boundaryNo lookup, decrypt, refresh, exposure, storage, or logging.
External contactNo Shopify call and no Admin API read.
5. No-call/no-write certificate

The correct proof is often that nothing unsafe happened.

shopify_calls_performed: false admin_api_reads_performed: false token_lookup_performed: false token_decrypt_performed: false token_refresh_performed: false token_exposure_performed: false db_reads_performed: false db_writes_performed: false request_counter_created: false queue_dispatch_attempted: false hidden_execution_blocked: true
6. Integration contract

Every connector should define the same control envelope.

External system

Name the system, tenant, data categories, and sensitive fields.

Read-only starting scope

Define which signals can be observed before authority exists.

Credential policy

Separate lookup, decrypt, refresh, storage, exposure, and logs.

Consent language

Define the exact phrase and operator identity binding required later.

Request guard

Constrain endpoint, count, retry behavior, background jobs, and pagination.

Audit export

Make side-effect certificates and receipt lineage visible.
