Turn-Metered Middleware

TRACELET

Turn-metered middleware. Every path validated, every session traced.

Role Turn-Metered Middleware and EDG Layer L4.5, middleware Family Middleware

TRACELET is an enterprise-grade sovereign agent shell, deployed as documentation-safe quality-assurance infrastructure rather than an autonomous AI. It is a constitutional execution substrate and a trace-locked quality-assurance agent, with a non-LLM, non-networked, non-persistent control plane. Its guarantees are enforced by design, not by policy. TRACELET is turn-metered, not token-metered. It is substrate-agnostic and operates on a minimum viable device. EDG is the Emergent Decision Graph, the evidence emitted as each session runs.

What it does

How it meters

TRACELET meters by turn, not by token. Each session runs single-pass and auditable, governed by a hard-stop trace guard that enforces the sovereignty and compliance gates before any path executes. Intent parsing is deterministic, with no inference and no creativity, and a session governor prevents runaway interaction.

Memory is ephemeral only. Persistence is forbidden by design, the session resets on exit, and a full execution trace is kept per session as the Emergent Decision Graph. TRACELET trusts no input, executes no output, validates every path, and never mutates upstream systems. It is not a shared brain. It is a repeatable constitutional process.

TRACELET runs under the same constitutional stack as the rest of the estate, substrate-agnostic, evidence-bound, and air-gapped or VPC-isolated where the deployment requires it.

Live trace

Submit a pending action and TRACELET runs a single deterministic pass: it parses intent, validates every path against the constitutional gates, refuses any upstream mutation, and emits the Emergent Decision Graph with a SHA-256 evidence receipt. Turn-metered, one turn per run. No inference. Memory is ephemeral and resets on exit. This runs entirely in your browser, the same way TRACELET runs on a minimum viable device.
