Strict Write Discipline (SWD)
A validation-first protocol for safe AI-generated changes. SWD transforms raw AI output into controlled, auditable filesystem actions by enforcing a strict verification loop: intent → dry-run → snapshot → verification → commit.
Intent Capture
Captured AI output is treated as a Proposed Intent, not a direct command. Each node must contain explicit metadata: Target Path, Operation (CREATE, MODIFY, DELETE), Source Hash (SHA-256), and anticipated Byte Size.
Snapshot Sync
The system performs an instantaneous sync with the Host Filesystem. Actual state overrides internal AI assumptions, creating a verified ground truth baseline. Every referenced file must exist and match captured checksums before the dry-run commences.
Correction Turn
If an intent references invalid or inconsistent system state (e.g., hallucinated paths or stale hashes), execution is blocked. Real-time filesystem state is re-injected into the AI context, triggering an immediate self-correction loop.
Atomic Verification
Intents are only promoted to a COMMIT state once verification yields zero divergence. This architecture ensures atomic, validated writes under controlled conditions, eliminating partial or broken file updates.
