Motivation

  • Establish a spec-first repository spine for a governed memory system that encodes core invariants and operational guidance.
  • Provide a ready-to-commit skeleton (docs, spec, threat model, offer) to accelerate implementation planning (StagePort + Coda).
  • Surface operational artifacts (roadmap, incidents, scorecard) to support audits, sales/offer collateral, and developer onboarding.

Description

  • Add top-level project metadata and governance docs including README.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, and .gitignore.
  • Add core specs under mom/specs/ including SYSTEM_SPEC_v1.1.md, RULESET_NUDGE_CONSTITUTION_v1.0.md, THREAT_MODEL_v1.0.md, and GLOSSARY.md.
  • Add operational and marketing artifacts under mom/offer/, mom/glitchport/ (taxonomy, scorecard, and incident write-ups), and mom/docs/ (ROADMAP.md, FAQ.md).
  • Commit was created with formatting hooks applied to staged files during commit.

Testing

  • Pre-commit formatting (prettier --write) ran as part of the commit hooks and completed successfully.
  • No unit or integration tests were added or executed because this is a documentation-only change.
  • Repository changes were committed (git commit) and the new files are staged in the repo.

Summary of Changes

Hello @TheAVCfiles, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request lays the groundwork for the M.O.M. (Memory. With. Governance.) project by creating a comprehensive, spec-first repository skeleton. The primary objective is to define a robust framework for building privacy-first memory systems that enforce consent, ensure data continuity, and contain potential risks. It provides all necessary foundational documents, including detailed system specifications, governance rules, threat models, and operational guidelines, to guide future development and ensure a secure, auditable, and ethically sound system from inception.

Highlights

  • Foundational Repository Setup: This PR establishes the core repository structure for M.O.M. (Memory. With. Governance.), a spec-first framework for privacy-first memory systems.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Introduces a wide array of documentation, including project metadata (README.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
  • Core Specifications Defined: Adds critical specifications under mom/specs/, such as SYSTEM_SPEC_v1.1.md (data model, invariants), RULESET_NUDGE_CONSTITUTION_v1.0.md (proactive behavior rules), THREAT_MODEL_v1.0.md, and a GLOSSARY.md.
  • Operational & Marketing Artifacts: Includes operational documents like ROADMAP.md, FAQ.md, and glitchport/ (failure taxonomy, scorecard, incident analyses), along with marketing materials under mom/offer/ (e.g., "7-Day Governance Sprint").
  • Pre-commit Formatting: Ensures code quality and consistency by integrating and successfully running pre-commit formatting hooks (prettier --write).

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive and well-structured repository skeleton for the M.O.M. project. The spec-first approach is evident in the detailed documentation covering system design, governance, security, and operational procedures. The overall quality of the documentation is high. My review includes a few suggestions to replace placeholder values and clarify some ambiguities within the specifications to ensure the core concepts are communicated clearly and to prevent potential misinterpretations during implementation.

The email address for reporting security vulnerabilities is a placeholder. This is a critical communication channel that must be active. Please replace [YOUR-SECURITY@DOMAIN.COM] with a real, monitored email address for private vulnerability disclosures.

- **MemNode™**: governed memory object (encrypted payload + consent + salience).
- **Corridors™**: typed relationships with traversal constraints.
- **Coda™**: append-only continuity log; no overwrite guarantees.

The definition of Coda™ is currently 'append-only continuity log; no overwrite guarantees.' This phrasing is ambiguous and could be misinterpreted to mean that Coda lacks guarantees against overwrites. Given that it's an append-only log, it should provide such guarantees. I suggest rephrasing for clarity to state that it prevents silent overwrites.

Suggested change
- **Coda™**: append-only continuity log; no overwrite guarantees.
- **Coda™**: append-only continuity log; guarantees no silent overwrites.


- `id`: stable unique identifier
- `owner_id`: user identity / tenant key
- `created_at`, `updated_at`: timestamps (updated_at may change only via append operations)

The description for the updated_at field in MemNode says it 'may change only via append operations,' which is ambiguous in the context of an append-only system. It's unclear if MemNodes are mutable. To avoid misinterpretation during implementation, please clarify how updates are handled. For instance, you could specify that updates create a new MemNode and a corresponding Coda log event, making the original node immutable.
