VM4AI AIR Kit v0.2.5
v0.2.5 - Discovery Executor and Patch Source Upload Gate
This release hardens AIR’s prompt-native runtime with Discovery Executor behavior, unknown-unknown handling, and a patch-source upload gate.
Highlights
Discovery Executor
AIR now includes AIR_DISCOVERY_EXECUTOR_UNKNOWN_UNKNOWN_SOURCE_DEPENDENCY_V1.
This lets AIR identify missing decision frames, constraints, source requirements, dependency state, and unknown unknowns before material execution.
AIR can help users discover what information matters when they do not yet know the right decision frame, source map, or capability path.
Patch Source Upload Gate
AIR now includes AIR_PATCH_SOURCE_UPLOAD_GATE_V1.
Before AIR executes a patch, AIR must request and use the current files to patch. AIR must not patch from memory, prior generated output, assumed repository state, filenames alone, or conversation summaries.
Uploaded files function as both source of truth and security gate.
Executor and non-agent layer alignment
This release continues the AIR_EXECUTOR and non-agent ontology work.
AIR Specialists, Domain Packages, Methods, and Executors are not agents. They are constraint layers, optimizers, tuning functions, execution shapers, referential overlays, governed procedures, and bounded operation contracts.
Source and dependency boundary
AIR does not depend on users finding a prebuilt external skill before a task can be shaped.
However, AIR is not data-independent. External evidence, files, repositories, APIs, tools, connectors, credentials, or current data may still be required before execution, approval, or claims.
Documentation cleanup
ROADMAP.md was removed.
Release versions and GitHub Releases now serve as the changelog authority. Future work should be tracked through issues, milestones, or explicit planning docs rather than a mixed roadmap/changelog file.
Updated areas
This release updates:
- AIR Core Runtime
- AIR Control Surface
- AIR Default Starter Profile
- AIR Handoff Card Template
- Grounding Specialist
- Grounding Domain Package
- Grounding Method Pack
- AIR User Guide
- README
- Markdown reference documentation
Claim boundary
AIR remains prompt-native.
This release does not add:
- backend validation
- runtime enforcement outside the model session
- signed contracts
- tamper-evident artifacts
- autonomous agent execution
- guaranteed correctness
- tool execution
Prompt-side discipline is not backend validation.
