Kybernetes Capture Learning

This helper proposes controller improvements. It cannot mutate canonical state, edit governance, activate hooks, or promote its own recommendation. The governor or authorized human reviews and applies accepted changes.

Required Inputs

• Observation, affected objective, and exact failure or success signal.
• Evidence pointers, recurrence count, severity, and causal confidence.
• Existing rule or constraint and why it did not prevent the outcome.
• Candidate scope, owners, affected users/systems, and policy boundary.
• Available test, schema, guard, hook, permission, or interface mechanisms.

Classify

• observation: one local event with no reusable claim yet.
• candidate: evidence suggests recurrence or a strong causal mechanism.
• promote: the accountable owner accepts a scoped constraint and its validation/rollback.
• reject: evidence, proportionality, or causality is insufficient.
• defer: more observations or authority are required.

A one-off event is normally an observation. Severe security, privacy, data-loss, or irreversible risk may justify immediate candidate review, but not silent global policy.

Double-Loop Test

Ask whether to:

1. regulate the next action under the current setpoint;
2. reframe the plan, decomposition, verifier, or setpoint; or
3. change the controller with a reusable constraint.

Promote only when controller change is supported by evidence and recurrence or clear causal severity.

Constraint Selection

Prefer the first proportionate enforceable constraint: test, fixture, schema, type, parser, API boundary, wrapper, lint, hook, CI guard, permission boundary, or checklist gate. Use prose only when enforcement is unavailable or disproportionate, and record why.

Escalate before proposals affecting public APIs, production behavior, permissions, privacy, security, retention, billing, external communication, or team policy.

Promotion Packet

learning_status: observation | candidate | promote | reject | defer
claim: <reusable learning>
evidence: <pointers and what each proves>
recurrence: <count and contexts>
causal_confidence: low | medium | high
scope: <local, repository, runtime binding, or product>
enforceable_constraint: <specific mechanism>
validation: <test that can reject the constraint>
rollback: <how to remove or reverse safely>
owner: <responsible boundary>
owner_approval: pending | accepted | narrowed | rejected
revalidation: <time, version, failure, or capability-drift trigger>
supersedes: <prior rule or none>
risks: <false positives, cost, rigidity, policy effects>

Constraints require a rejection-capable validation and a rollback. Promoted learning remains revisable: current contradictory evidence triggers revalidation, revision, or explicit supersession with provenance preserved. Until the accountable owner records approval for the proposed scope, the learning must remain a proposal and cannot mutate governance or shared policy.

Return To Governor

Return the packet and do not edit target files. The governor checks scope, authority, owner approval, evidence, proportionality, and verification; requests HITL where required; then accepts, rejects, defers, or routes implementation through the normal tested change process.
