First public release of the BAION Vault Method (BVM) — a file-based governance layer for human–AI work where agents do not get to invent state.

Agents may propose state. Receipts establish it.

What ships

  • Normative core specification (SPEC.md) — the 11-point state contract: unknown stays unknown, the governed object outranks its description, receipts precede promotion, reviews bind exact bytes, negative results require a positive control, corrections preserve history.
  • bvm-lint — zero-dependency Python checker (49 stable diagnostic codes) that makes structural conformance a command rather than a feeling. Python 3.11+, stdlib only.
  • Machine-readable schemas and starter templates for evidence, review, promotion, and retraction receipts.
  • A runnable fictional tutorial vault with a complete promotion + correction lifecycle.
  • Four anonymized field reports from real operating catches: a shared partial-source window, a budget-bound null mislabeled as a wall, a differential-attribution correction, and a skipped authoritative search.

Boundaries

Structural conformance only — no factual, scientific, legal, security, or safety certification. Reference methodology, not a standard. Fresh public authorship; not a sanitized export of a private vault (see PUBLICATION_BOUNDARY.md).

Verification

./verify_repo.sh — 58 tests, tutorial probe + positive control, strict lint of the tutorial vault, link/boundary/version/diagnostic/release-surface checks. CI runs the same gate on Python 3.11–3.13.
