What is EGP‑VS?

EGP‑VS is a deterministic verification harness used to evaluate whether a system
implements the structural guarantees required by the Evidence Governance Protocol (EGP).

The harness executes invariant‑driven test suites that determine whether a system:

  • produces verifiable evidence of governance decisions
  • enforces deterministic refusal conditions
  • maintains non‑bypassable execution boundaries
  • generates cryptographically verifiable evaluation artifacts

The objective is to ensure that governance claims can be independently evaluated, not merely asserted.

Why EGP‑VS Exists — From Claims to Verification

Traditional AI governance approaches rely primarily on:

  • policy descriptions
  • internal testing statements
  • non‑verifiable safety assurances

These methods do not produce observable evidence that governance mechanisms actually function as intended.

NovaFuse‑EGP‑VS introduces a different model: deterministic verification of governance behavior.

Instead of asking whether a system claims to follow governance rules, EGP‑VS evaluates the rules directly and produces cryptographically verifiable evidence of the results.

Verification runs are:

  • deterministic
  • reproducible
  • independently verifiable
  • resistant to tampering

The resulting certificates and artifacts provide proof that a specific system version
was evaluated against a specific governance profile under controlled conditions.

EGP‑VS exists to ensure that governance mechanisms produce observable, reproducible, and auditable evidence, rather than relying on unverified claims.

What This Release Includes

This release provides the initial public evaluation harness for the Evidence Governance Protocol.

Deterministic Verification Engine

A runtime harness that executes governance verification tests against a target system.

EGP Test Suites

Six evaluation suites validate core governance invariants:

  • EG01 — Evidence Production
  • EG02 — Refusal Determinism
  • EG03 — Boundary Enforcement
  • EG04 — Evidence Integrity
  • EG05 — Governance Traceability
  • EG06 — Admissibility Verification

Each suite produces deterministic pass/fail results.

Evidence Artifacts

Successful verification runs generate structured evaluation artifacts, including:

  • evaluation_report.json
  • verification_log.json
  • certificate.json

Evaluation certificates support cryptographic signatures to enable independent validation of results.

Execution Modes

EGP‑VS supports multiple execution environments:

  • Local CLI execution
  • Docker execution
  • CI/CD integration
  • Offline audit evaluation

The harness is designed for repeatable and reproducible governance evaluation.

What This Release Does NOT Include

This repository intentionally excludes:

  • proprietary NovaFuse governance implementations
  • system runtime execution engines
  • NovaFuse architecture enforcement modules
  • certification or compliance infrastructure

EGP‑VS is strictly an evaluation harness.

It verifies governance behavior but does not implement governance systems.

Intended Audience

EGP‑VS is designed for:

  • security engineers
  • safety architects
  • governance evaluators
  • auditors and regulators
  • researchers studying verifiable AI governance

The harness enables independent evaluation of evidence‑producing governance systems.

Repository Information

Release Status

This release establishes the initial public evaluation baseline for the NovaFuse Evidence Governance Protocol Verification Suite.

Future releases may expand:

  • evaluation coverage
  • artifact verification mechanisms
  • integration capabilities

without altering the deterministic verification model.

Architectural Context

EGP‑VS is part of the NovaFuse Cyber‑Safety Framework, which includes:

Together, these components establish a foundation for deterministic cyber‑safety evaluation.
