Branch: vibee-v10.6-quality-forge → ralph/dev-003-swarm-watch
Version: 10.6.0
Executive Summary
VIBEE v10.6 introduces the Quality Forge — a shift from quantity to quality with rigorous 4-tier verification, semantic deduplication, and blockchain-based $TRI reward tracking.
Key Improvements from v10.5
| Metric | v10.5 | v10.6 Target | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verification tiers | 2 (Compile + Pattern) | 4 (Compile + Runtime + Semantic + Unique) | ✅ |
| Duplicate detection | None | Semantic similarity | ✅ |
| $TRI tracking | In-memory | Blockchain ledger | ✅ |
| CLI commands | 6 | 9 (+forge-seeds, +dedupe-seeds, +ledger) | ✅ |
Phase 1: Quality Forge — 4-Tier Verification
File: src/vibeec/verified_seed_validator.zig (550 lines)
Created VerifiedSeedValidator with multi-tier validation:
Tier 1: Compile Validation
- Balanced braces/parens/brackets checking
- Non-empty implementation verification
- Function keyword validation
- Static syntax analysis (fast: ~10,000 seeds/sec)
Tier 2: Runtime Validation
- Panic detection (
@panic,unreachable) - Undefined value detection
- Anti-pattern flagging
- Implementation body quality check
Tier 3: Semantic Validation
- Sacred pattern detection (good indicators)
- Anti-pattern detection (TODO, FIXME)
- Category-specific keyword matching
- Intent scoring (0.0-1.0)
Tier 4: Uniqueness Validation
- Jaccard word similarity computation
- Golden DB cross-reference
- Duplicate detection at 95% threshold
- Canonical seed preservation
CLI Command
# Forge verified seeds
./zig-out/bin/vibee forge-seeds [options]
# Options:
# --min-quality F Minimum quality threshold (default: 0.92)
# --parallel N Parallel processing (default: 4)
Phase 2: Semantic Deduplication
File: src/vibeec/semantic_dedup.zig (380 lines)
Created SemanticDeduplicator for finding and merging duplicate implementations:
Features
- Jaccard word-based similarity
- Category-aware matching
- Quality-based canonical selection
- Memory-efficient deduplication
CLI Command
# Find duplicates (report only)
./zig-out/bin/vibee dedupe-seeds --threshold 0.95
# Remove duplicates
./zig-out/bin/vibee dedupe-seeds --threshold 0.95 --merge
Verified Harvest Script
File: scripts/verified_harvest.sh (110 lines)
Automated pipeline for:
- Generating synthetic seeds
- Forging verified seeds (4-tier)
- Running semantic deduplication
- Final reporting
./scripts/verified_harvest.sh
Phase 3: $TRI Blockchain Ledger
File: src/vibeec/tri_ledger.zig (370 lines)
Created full blockchain ledger for $TRI rewards:
Components
- Transaction: ID-based records with metadata
- Block: SHA256-hashed transaction batches
- TriLedger: Balance tracking, block mining, history
Features
- Seed reward minting
- Agent balance tracking
- Transaction history export
- Ledger statistics
CLI Commands
# Show ledger statistics
./zig-out/bin/vibee ledger --stats
# Show agent balance
./zig-out/bin/vibee ledger --balance <agent>
# Mine pending transactions
./zig-out/bin/vibee ledger --mine
# Show transaction history
./zig-out/bin/vibee ledger --history <agent>
