Icod.TermInfo 1.13.0 - Persistent-Raster Runtime Evidence Interchange and Integration

[uniblab]

Summary

Begins Icod.TermInfo 1.13.0 as Persistent-Raster Runtime Evidence Interchange and Integration.

The release is intended to remove the manual bridge currently required after external/live verification: callers should no longer need to manufacture lifecycle/placement evidence, calculate final source ordinals, merge snapshots, and reclassify by hand.

The architecture remains deliberately protocol-neutral:

static TermInfo evidence
    -> classify / plan
    -> runtime verification required
    -> external verifier
    -> protocol-neutral runtime observations
    -> deterministic TermInfo evidence integration
    -> frozen lifecycle / placement classifiers
    -> frozen planners

TermInfo still performs no live terminal I/O and retains no production dependency on Icod.Terminal.

Planning authorities

• Icod.TermInfo-Post-1.0-Development-Roadmap.md
• Icod.TermInfo-1.13.0-Persistent-Raster-Runtime-Evidence-Interchange-and-Integration-Roadmap.md
• docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-13-1.13.0-runtime-evidence-interchange-design.md

The active long-range roadmap now identifies 1.13.0 as the next development line and defers multi-protocol preference/negotiation until after runtime-evidence interchange is mature.

Planned tranches

• RE01 / Alpha-1 — architecture, vocabulary, and public API regret gate
• RE02 / Alpha-2 — immutable runtime observations
• RE03 / Alpha-3 — deterministic evidence integration
• RE04 / Alpha-4 — classification and contradiction integration
• RE05 / Alpha-5 — replanning composition and audit result
• RE06 / Alpha-6 — JSON v5 runtime-evidence automation
• RE07 / Alpha-7 — Terminal interoperability and sample qualification
• RE08 / Alpha-8 — hardening, exact freeze, documentation, and release closure

Compatibility boundary

1.13 must preserve:

• Runtime/Source/Compiler/Termcap APIs;
• Inspection contracts through 1.12;
• 1.11 lifecycle semantics;
• 1.12 advanced-placement semantics;
• database-set precedence;
• JSON schemas v1-v4;
• the production dependency boundary excluding Icod.Terminal.

JSON v5 is planned to add exactly:

• persistentRasterRuntimeObservationSet
• persistentRasterRuntimeIntegration

Explicit exclusions

This release does not include live probing by TermInfo, protocol/backend identifiers, backend ranking/preference, multi-protocol negotiation, terminal-brand heuristics, session/resource identities, scene/layout policy, animation, image transport, or generic JSON deserialization.

The PR remains draft while the written design is reviewed. No production implementation has started yet.
