Governance Ledger v0.4.0

Semantic Governance Compilation & Replay Infrastructure

Governance Ledger v0.4.0 introduces the first stable public release of the semantic governance compilation architecture.

This release expands Ledger from a semantic extraction and lifecycle toolkit into a deterministic governance infrastructure layer capable of:

• semantic reconciliation
• governance chronology replay
• compiled authority contracts
• execution admissibility projections
• lifecycle enforcement projections
• semantic authority diffing
• governance event modeling
• replay continuity analysis
• execution context semantics
• identity and approval semantics
• deterministic governance projections

Highlights

Semantic Reconciliation

Introduced operator-governed semantic reconciliation with:

• ambiguity classification
• interpretation authority workflows
• deterministic reconciliation artifacts
• semantic commit readiness
• governance confidence posture modeling

Compiled Authority Contracts

Added deterministic compilation boundaries:

• semantic_commit_bundle.v1
• compiled_authority_contract.v1
• execution projection generation
• Guard-compatible enforcement projections

Governance Replay & Event Architecture

Introduced append-only governance event semantics and chronology replay:

• deterministic replay state reconstruction
• replay diffing
• continuity transition events
• projection invalidation events
• lineage and replay semantics

Execution & Lifecycle Projections

Added:

• runtime consequence projections
• admissibility requirement projections
• lifecycle enforcement projections
• replay continuity projections
• execution context semantics

Public Core / Workspace Separation

v0.4.0 formalizes the separation between:

• the public governance core infrastructure layer
• and the private operational governance workspace layer

The public Ledger repository now focuses on:

• canonical schemas
• semantic tooling
• deterministic governance compilation
• replay infrastructure
• lifecycle semantics
• execution projections
• interoperability surfaces

Stability

• 198 passing tests
• deterministic replay guarantees
• schema-versioned governance artifacts
• normalized semantic compiler boundaries
• public CLI surface stabilized for v0.4.0

This release establishes the foundational governance substrate for the broader Waveframe governance ecosystem.
