ACE Core 0.4.1 — Governed Cognition Evidence Closeout
ACE Core 0.4.1 closes the 0.4.x governed-intelligence release line with a usable public contract surface and the evidence required to audit it.
What shipped
- Re-exports the per-statement epistemic-status and Case-bound Brief synthesis contracts from the supported
ace.intelligencesurface. - Adds 23 additive public names without changing contract identities, schemas, or record behavior.
- Restores
MANIFESTO.md, the P1/P2 platform evidence archive, and the roadmap narrative that explains the Core / Intelligence / Domain Pack boundary. - Adds evidence-index integrity and release-positioning regression tests.
- Aligns
uv.lockwith the 0.4.1 project version.
Verification
GitHub CI is green across:
- lint and formatting
- fast Python test gate
- naked kernel with zero extensions
- security audit
- Canvas typecheck, tests, and build
- Docker build and health verification
The local full non-e2e run recorded 7,369 passed, 50 skipped, and 259 deselected. One SurrealDB teardown write conflict passed on isolated retry.
Scope
This release establishes the packaged Core + Intelligence substrate and its governed-cognition evidence. It does not promote GI2 domain neutrality by itself. That gate remains open until a tagged, packaged World Intelligence release and a clean-install two-domain reproduction both pass.
