Where it stands
Rung 3 of 8: TESTED
Automated tests exercise it in isolation, often against fixtures.
Project record: NOT_PROBED_THIS_PASS
- CONCEPT Designed or specified. No working code yet.
- IMPLEMENTED Code exists. Nothing has demonstrated that it behaves correctly.
- TESTED Automated tests exercise it in isolation, often against fixtures.
- INTEGRATED Wired into the rest of JARVIS and tested across component boundaries.
- PRODUCTION-REACHABLE The owner can reach it through the real runtime path, not only through a test harness.
- LIVE-PROVEN A bounded probe ran the real code path on a booted JARVIS on the real machine and recorded evidence. The project treats live evidence as expiring after 24 hours, so every live reading here shows the date it was taken.
- FORMALLY VERIFIED Its critical property is checked by a proof or exhaustive verification.
- RELEASE-QUALIFIED Passed every qualification gate for a named release.
Limits
Limitations
- Last passing probe is older than the 24-hour window (state set 2026-09-08); the registry labels it NOT_PROBED_THIS_PASS rather than carrying a stale LIVE.

- Deixis & pronoun resolution "It", "that" and "the one from earlier" resolve to the right thing.
- Route selection (deterministic/fast/deep/coding/vision/research) Each request is routed to the right kind of thinking: instant, fast, deep, coding, vision or research.
- Risk & uncertainty escalation Risky or uncertain requests are escalated instead of guessed.
- Evidence-based pushback JARVIS pushes back, with evidence, when you say something the evidence contradicts.
