Research & education only. Not investment advice.

YUCLAW 9.0.0 — Evidence-First Financial AI · The Science Trust Layer for Financial AI

Financial AI normally gives you an answer. YUCLAW gives you the evidence, what that evidence can support, what it cannot support, and whether that conclusion survived time.

New in 9.0.0 — research briefs with traceable AI assistance (local, loopback only)

• Sentence and claim inspection (F1): every recorded statement is bound to an exact UTF-8 byte span of its text view and to the specific v8 claim version it uses; six roles (direct quotation, computed statement, attributed source statement, analyst interpretation, model-written commentary, unresolved claim) describe function, not correctness; a four-area inspector (sources and calculations · how the text was produced · changes · checks) and five independent answers per statement (byte integrity · recorded origin · issuer trust · substantive support · time scope) that are never merged into a score; exact quotations and registered arithmetic are decided deterministically, an operator's or model's link is ATTRIBUTED, contradictions and unresolved statements are preserved; coverage is stated over identified statements with extraction completeness NOT established.
• Financial brief composer (F2): briefs rendered from a stable, digest-identified evidence snapshot by deterministic bilingual templates (guidance change · numerical comparison · explicitly unresolved interpretation) that protect typed amounts, signs, currencies, units, metrics, bases, periods, accessions and quotations as slots over the v8 Decimal calculator; imported drafts are a separate route whose sentences start unassessed; raw and assembled bytes are distinct identities; a changed protected fact cannot keep its support; no API key, model download or hosted service is required.
• Edits, translations and source corrections (F3): every saved revision is a new immutable version with a parent reference and a transform record (kind, implementation, languages, exact-bytes span mapping, review findings); the original is preserved beside the revision; a parent's checks never carry to the child's bytes; a deterministic template re-rendering binds the other language fully, an entered translation records its provenance, is never sent to a provider and carries no certification claim; a corrected v8 source or an amended claim produces review items on exactly the statements whose recorded dependencies reference it, while earlier exports stay valid historical snapshots.
• Provenance records and detector-report import (F4): generation receipts, detector reports and calibration records are imported through a bounded parser (duplicate keys, floats, depth and size refused), bound to the exact text view and tested span, and kept apart by origin (operator assertion · connector observation · issuer-signed statement); signature validity, issuer trust under this workspace's own roots, revocation and payload binding are four separate answers; execution, signal (only when COMPLETED) and calibration (APPLICABLE only in the enrolled record's own scope, from an authenticated record) are separate dimensions; an unavailable account, unsupported input, too-short input or failure never becomes NOT_DETECTED; no live detector or provider connector exists in 9.0.
• Portable verification and measured operations (F5): a readable static HTML brief (no script, CSP), JSON records and a versioned packet (yuclaw.brief-packet/1) verify in a fresh workspace without the author's database; every check is declared separately (VERIFIED · FAILED · NOT_RECOMPUTABLE · REPORT_ONLY · UNSUPPORTED · NOT_APPLICABLE); rights filtering withholds excerpts, prompts and raw responses whose disclosure is not established; keys, secrets and local paths never travel; operation identifiers, attempts, retries, outcomes and durations are measured from the first run with their definitions and missingness, and a methods/limitations appendix is derived from the records.
• Candidate evidence (candidate b16cc33): current: 77/77 PASS; floor: 77/77 PASS; installed self-check PASS; browser inspection PASS; clean install FAIL on that pre-freeze candidate (readme transcript exact); the final pair is verified from fresh installs before any publication.

Evidence totals (public scoreboard at composition)

• Replication attempts: primary unavailable, successful unavailable; registration PENDING; exact-release coverage BOUND
• Witness reviews unavailable · audit-break attempts unavailable · refusals unavailable · challenges unavailable · document-use receipts 0 · pilots 0
• Board timestamp 2026-10-12T23:02:08.413385Z; these are counts of records, not a quality or independence verdict

Activation status (every proposed activation)

• real receipt program: INACTIVE — no reviewer appointed, no registration record adopted, the three-reproduction floor unadopted (D3)
• nightly status delivery: INACTIVE — adapter and preview only; delivery not activated (D4-NIGHTLY-STATUS)
• note-snapshot coordinator: INACTIVE — contract v3 stays live; coordinator not wired (D4-SNAPSHOT)
• sentinel policy: INACTIVE — unchanged; proposal only (D4-SENTINEL)
• Phase-C prospective protocol: INACTIVE — draft; unregistered; nothing runs (D4-PHASE-C)
• Phase 6 / A2 designation of S: INACTIVE — candidate record only; not registered; N_eff not computed (D4-A2-S)
• ETF class addendum: INACTIVE — proposed classification path; registered set untouched (D4-ETF-ADDENDUM)
• U-ladder promotion / window: INACTIVE — fixture validation only; no admission, promotion or registered window (D4-U-LADDER-WINDOW)
• Gate #15 human study: INACTIVE — kit ships; no study run; explicit owner exception for 9.0.0 only, MANUAL_REVIEW — not a pass; human benefit PENDING
• Phase-5 contribution anatomy: a READER of registered protocol lines and registered results; it is not a registered result and registers nothing

Release policy (recorded; the publisher refuses notes that do not match the record)

• Allocation: decision D1-ACCEPT on allocation document V9-ALLOC-9.0.0-2026-10-13-P2 (sha256 9fbc8659aed705d6…)

• Gate #15 (user comprehension test passes): MANUAL_REVIEW — requirement NOT satisfied; the owner accepted an explicit release-policy exception for 9.0.0 only on 2026-10-10 (decision record sha256 ba603b63440e5207…); not carried to any later release; no human comprehension study was run, scheduled or recruited and none is claimed — not a pass; the automated consumer-posture scaffold check is retained; human benefit PENDING. The owner's decision, verbatim:
  2. OWNER RELEASE-POLICY EXCEPTION — GATE #15, 9.0.0 ONLY

  For 9.0.0 only, I accept an explicit release-policy exception for Gate #15. The human
  comprehension requirement is not satisfied; Gate #15 remains MANUAL_REVIEW and must not be
  represented as passed. The human study is not authorized and must not be run, scheduled or
  recruited. Disclose this exception verbatim in the release-policy record and public
  release notes.

  This exception applies to 9.0.0 only. It is not carried to any later release.

Not in this release

• Backup functionality is cancelled: no backup scheduling, restoration feature or drill exists; a packet is a verification artifact, not a backup.
• Excluded by the owner: human comprehension study, backup or restore functionality.
• Human benefit: PENDING — no pilot, no user study; the journeys and tests demonstrate behaviour, not benefit.
• Review: every edit, link, resolution and import in the release evidence was recorded by the automated tests, the installed self-check and the browser inspection as a simulated action; there was no human review and no user study.
• Fixtures are clearly fictional demonstration data (issuer, filings, amounts); the fictional guidance example is never market data or a historical research record.
• Detector and watermark evidence: NOT_DETECTED never proves human authorship; a detector score is not the percentage of text written by AI; a watermark establishes neither identity, ownership, responsibility nor factual accuracy; a local receipt is neither legal compliance nor an independently anchored timestamp; an imported provider-positive result with unknown calibration is a provider-reported result whose calibration is not established here.
• Deferred, not in 9.0 (explicitly later work, not incomplete core): live provider generation or detection connectors, local entropy controlled sampler or open weight model integration, detector calibration campaigns registration or sequential inference methods. No public text-detection endpoint, watermark parameter, key or provider capability is invented; no OpenAI-compatible watermark claim is made; primary evidence is never altered to carry a watermark.
• The v8 workbench, its four modules, its export format and its published guides are unchanged; v9 writes a separate sidecar beside the v8 journal and an 8.0.1 client reads its own data with the sidecar present and untouched.
• N_eff PENDING
• Phase-5 contribution anatomy NOT YET
• user-comprehension study: not run; explicit owner exception for 9.0.0 only — MANUAL_REVIEW (not a pass; human benefit PENDING; not carried to any later release)
• unaffiliated replications 0
