v0.8.0-alpha.1 — Project Cognition + Goal Governor

This prerelease turns dsh-researcher from a read-only research preset into an alpha evidence-and-completion-governance layer for DeepSeek Harness.

What is new

  • Portable Cognition, Goal and Verifier cores with strict JSON schemas, canonical SHA-256 binding, revisions and deterministic Markdown projection.
  • A second DSH preset, Governed Coding, in which the model reports attempts and evidence but the host alone owns terminal goal state.
  • /researcher <question> for one read-only turn, /researcher on|off for guarded mode, /researcher goal for a draft contract, and /researcher run for an approved contract.
  • Frozen verifier registry invocations bound to earlier real DSH tool call/result IDs.
  • Explicit ALREADY_SATISFIED, CONTINUE, NEEDS_HUMAN, DONE, BLOCKED, STOPPED and CANCELLED decisions.
  • Hard attempt and no-progress limits so SHOULD-level polishing cannot run forever.
  • A portable project-cognition CLI and a self-describing .project-cognition/state.json for this repository.

Trust and evaluation fixes

  • Assistant prose no longer counts as completion telemetry.
  • DON'T BUILD no longer double-counts as BUILD.
  • Research state imports are strict, bounded and atomic.
  • The runtime doctor compares live state with deterministic replay.
  • Read tools are confined to the project root, including symlink resolution.
  • Experiment C+ is now explicitly INVALID FOR CAUSAL CLAIM; snapshot leakage cannot be rendered as Researcher superiority.

Verification at release candidate

  • 83/83 Node tests pass, including schema-valid public examples and an isolated tarball install/load smoke test.
  • project-cognition doctor . passes all cognition, projection, contract and registry checks.
  • Both presets scan as loadable after a temporary DSH 0.1.0-rc.7 installation.
  • Package dry-run contains the portable core, schemas, presets, tests, selected evaluation summaries and documentation.

Not yet proven

This release does not establish long-term maintenance gains, Researcher superiority, live-model terminal reliability, or compatibility with Codex, Claude Code, Kiro, Zed or OpenClaw. The next evidence gate is the preregistered live DSH and three-arm maintenance protocol in goal-governor-evaluation-protocol.md.

Install

Node.js >=22.12 and DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.7 are the verified environment.
