BACKBONE v1.1.0 Latest
Latest

The dodge fix that the v1.0 matrix could not express in 24 hours of public review.

What's new

  • User-intent gate (pre-protocol, evaluated once per task). Three explicit-intent signals parsed from the user message set flags that modify the decision matrix for the duration of the task.
    • skip-target: "do not touch X" routes that target to SKIP entirely.
    • minimal-intent: "minimal change" routes SAME-FILE M from OFFER to TRACK.
    • permissive-intent: "ok cleanups too" routes DISTANT XS from TRACK to FIX.
  • Intent-aware override column in the decision matrix.
  • Worked example examples/03-user-override.md demonstrating all three signals in a single task.
  • Optional skipped=N field in the metrics line for skip-target SKIPs.

Repo polish

  • Removed netlify.toml, install.sh, and sha256.txt. They were either dead artifacts of an abandoned hosting plan, an installer for a single Markdown file (a three-shell-line copy from the README is cleaner), or a performative integrity manifest. Integrity now rests on the annotated git tag plus branch protection on main. Cosign-signed releases are tracked as a future improvement.
  • SECURITY.md updated to match the new integrity story.

What is unchanged

  • Banned-phrase list.
  • Three-action set (FIX, OFFER, TRACK), plus SKIP for skip-target.
  • Apache 2.0 with no patent claim asserted.
  • Methodology paper, benchmark spec, distribution adapters.

Backward compatibility

Identical to v1.0.0 when no intent signal is present in the user message. The user-intent gate is additive.

Public review

xAI Grok thread on 2026-05-08 surfaced the two design gaps (missing USER-OVERRIDE row, SAME-FILE M ignoring "minimal change" intent) that this release fixes. Closing assessment from the same review: "Protocol holds."
