Decision records

One line per decision, full context in the linked source. A decision is SETTLED only when Yose confirms. Specs cite decisions as D-numbers. Never re-litigate a SETTLED decision in a spec; open a new record instead.

#DecisionStatusPositionSource / rationale
D01Blockchain for provenance?SETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)No. Hash-linked transparency logs + threshold signatures + Pods. "Blockchain's auditability without blockchain's baggage."00_FRAMING §2 P1; consistent with Blog 03/05 (distillation §3.10)
D02Cultural data commercialization modelSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Collective corpus licensing under dewan custody (Karya pattern). Never an individual data marketplace. 70/20/10 retained.00_FRAMING §2 P2
D03Consumer home assistant vertical?SETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)No. BUMDes/koperasi vertical instead (same node, LPJ skill pack).00_FRAMING §2 P3
D04Forum's role in agent infrastructureSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Discovery, trust, audit metadata only. Memory lives in Pods behind CARE gates, never in PieFed's DB.00_FRAMING §2 P4
D05Model gateway for Fase 0SETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)LiteLLM proxy (virtual keys, budgets, provider abstraction). OpenBao + attestation later.00_FRAMING §2 P5
D06Forum scope: province vs islandSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)One instance, Tanah Papua identity, region-namespaced communities, province-ready split via federation.00_FRAMING §2 P6
D07Build own runtime?SETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)No. Own the deterministic layers (aksara-cli, CARE engine, provenance); planner runtimes stay swappable. Version-pinned Hermes Agent for now.00_FRAMING §2 P7; CLIs report paradigm (b)
D08Demo-phase signingSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Self-signed dev keys with visible PROTOKOL DEMONSTRASI labeling. No paid PSrE/e-meterai before pilot.00_FRAMING §2 P8
D09Licensing splitSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)ETNOS and network services AGPL-3.0 (matches PieFed upstream). aksara-cli, libraries, aksara-verify: Apache-2.0 plus trademark policy (Mozilla model, Blog 04): anyone implements, only certified builds use the Aksara name. Specs CC BY 4.0. Hardware CERN-OHL-S. Rationale: the moat is certification, trust network, and the standard itself; permissive code maximizes standard adoption, and P03 shows community origination is what cannot be forked. Consequence: v4.1 license table (AGPL cli, MPL libs) revised next edition.Session 2026-07-05
D10Canonical namingSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Everything Aksara-branded. ZeroClaw and ZeroStamp retired (OpenClaw-era research carryovers, never chosen names). Verifier: aksara-verify. Runtime: "Aksara runtime, built on Hermes Agent" with loud credit. Secure element frozen: ATECC608B (608A not recommended for new designs). SKU names Pro/Aksara/Mini/Go retired in favor of v4.1 deployment packages (Paket MPP/Distrik/Kampung/...).Session 2026-07-05
D11ETNOS backend seamSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Canonize the CLIs report resolution: PieFed-style ActivityPub now, ActivityPods/NextGraph later, pluggable behind a stable verb set. Master Memory's backbone claim is the target state, not the current state.Distillation §3.2
D12atproto agent-network READMESETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)External prior art only (Joel Hooks). Mine the role/trust-level tables; do not adopt the substrate (conflicts with sovereignty, offline-first, AP bets).Distillation §3.1
D13House style for all project docsSETTLED (standing rule)No em dashes, no contrast-marketing, honest labels on unbuilt things, Claude invisible in external docs, Indonesian-first user surface.Master Memory §XII
D14Perpres 83/2025 framingSETTLED (correction)It establishes the digital-transformation committee. Never cite as an "efficiency mandate". Tailwind citations: GovTech/INA Digital, SPBE, Inpres 1/2025.Domain dossier; distillation §3.9
D15Liveness claims about ETNOSSETTLED (honesty doctrine)Scope all claims: frontend live on borrowed backend (piefed.social); tier 3/4 badges are stubs; pmy locale is a copy of id; dashboards demo-labeled.Forum-readiness audit; distillation §3.5
D16Paper submission timingSETTLED (Yose 2026-07-05)Defer rather than submit thin: P01/P03 wait for real pilot data. Publication order per Master Memory §X (Blog 04 first, then 02+03), arXiv mirrors within 30 days.Distillation §3.6
D17Colleague-memory stackPROPOSEDBuild "Memori Aksara": Graphiti-lite on SQLite (FTS5 + sqlite-vec, numpy fallback). Bi-temporal fact table (valid/invalid + recorded/superseded, invalidate-don't-delete), entity/person tables with consent + provenance, custom Hermes memory provider (Holographic SQLite provider as template). ~0.4-0.7 GB incl. multilingual embedder; extraction on resident Gemma 4 E4B with constrained JSON, nightly batch. Fallback: Hindsight (MIT, official Hermes plugin) if build stalls, cost ~1-1.5 GB embedded Postgres. LightRAG stays but ONLY as document/regulation graph-RAG, never colleague memory. Re-evaluate embedded graph DBs (LadybugDB) 2027-01.research/2026-07-05_memory-stack.md
D18OpenViking claims correctionSETTLED (correction, refined 2026-07-05)Two truths, two layers: data model IS markdown management (viking:// virtual filesystem, .md + .abstract/.overview tiered summaries; Yose's framing correct) BUT runtime is an AGPLv3 server with mandatory embedding+VLM models, no embedded mode ("built into Hermes" claim in our docs is wrong). Adopt the L0/L1/L2 tiered-summary CONVENTION inside Memori Aksara with zero AGPL/server baggage; keep OpenViking as lineage acknowledgment / Hub-tier candidate. Correct v4.1 §20 and Master Memory next revision.research/2026-07-05_memory-stack.md (correction appended)
D19Display choicePROPOSEDNo purchasable 9-11 inch no-flash panel under USD 80 exists (RLCD is captive: Daylight exclusive, Azumo pre-market; DES EOL; memory LCD maxes 4.4 inch). Prototype 1: keep the 10.3 inch IT8951 panel (USD 203) with waveform discipline: DU partial 0.22 s NO FLASH for statline and strokes, GC16 full refresh only on content change, masked as the daily-artwork page turn (flash becomes ritual, not jolt). Production: Good Display GDEP103TC2 (USD 98.90) + DEJA-TC103 TCON; inquiries to Azumo (RLCD endgame) and Good Display volume pricing. Cheap IPS rejected: 6-7 W backlight drains the outage battery in 7-15 h vs e-ink months; buy one only as a dev layout surrogate.research/2026-07-05_display-options.md
