Overview

Tool / Contract Summary

jhf-beam is the Helpifyr safety, upgrade, rollback, and verification repository. It is not a product runtime service and not a Fabric runtime member. It owns verification contracts, evidence contracts, and operational governance for issue-driven certification waves.

Business Value

  • Turns change risk into explicit, auditable evidence.
  • Keeps runtime truth with owner repos while Beam provides independent safety validation.
  • Standardizes full validation, bulletproof rerun, upgrade certification, and monitoring-trigger certification waves.
  • Preserves the shared-service-boundary so shared context does not silently become tool-owned runtime or storage truth.

Current Verified State

  • Implemented OpenClaw path: 2026.3.13 -> 2026.3.24 with reproducible evidence and compatibility export.
  • Generic upgrade-suite structure is present and schema/policy verifiable.
  • Fabric combination and contract-family truth is consumed read-only and validated in repo and live-readback modes.
  • Stage-3 promotion bridge, lock evidence, idempotency guards, and host-readback paths are implemented.

Available now

  • Installation and configuration docs for the v1.6 docs platform baseline.
  • Certification standards under docs/testing/.
  • Machine-readable contracts under maintenance/ and schemas/.
  • Verification scripts under maintenance/, ops/host/, and scripts/testing/.
  • Packaging contracts and reproducible source-bundle build/publish scripts.

Optional / Extended

  • External-installation baseline (preflight/postflight/supportability/package policy) via docs/testing/ and maintenance artifacts.
  • Host timer and artifact sync operations for bounded maintenance tasks.

Planned / Not in current scope

  • No Beam-owned runtime API service.
  • No Beam-owned deployment control plane.
  • No local second source of truth for Fabric contract families or bundle detection.
  • jhf-beam-light consumption path is prepared but remains planned.

Producer-/Consumer-Zuordnung

  • Producer: helpifyr-fabric (contract/bundle truth)
  • Producer: jhf-deployment (stage-2 promotion payload/evidence)
  • Consumer/validator: jhf-beam

Compatibility Window

  • maintenance/compatibility-windows.json
  • maintenance/latest-known-good.json

Lifecycle Status

  • Stable: repository governance and verification model.
  • Transitional: external-installation packaging/distribution depth.

Readiness / Drift / Monitoring

  • Inventory and drift generation:
    • maintenance/pull_oss_inventory.py
    • maintenance/runtime-drift-*.json
  • Readiness verification:
    • maintenance/verify-upgrade-suite.py
    • maintenance/verify-fabric-combination-safety.py
    • maintenance/verify-voice-governance.py

Deployment / Verify

  • Stage 1: repo-level verify
  • Stage 2: deployment-owned staging verification
  • Stage 3: Beam host-bound live verify and issue feedback publish

Known Limits

  • No Beam-owned service runtime to monitor directly.
  • No write-back to Fabric truth surfaces.
  • Multi-tool deep execution coverage is partial and owner-dependent.

Exceptions / Waivers

  • Exceptions are issue-driven and must be explicitly referenced in run evidence or maintenance artifacts.
