Where it stands
Rung 2 of 8: IMPLEMENTED
Code exists. Nothing has demonstrated that it behaves correctly.
Project record: IMPLEMENTED
- 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
- The code and its tests exist, but the project's AUDIT 03 reachability sweep found no production entry point constructing it at the time the state was set (2026-07-29); later post-LM work may have changed this (UNCERTAIN, registry not re-derived).
