✅ RPAS‑CM‑TAR‑COL‑001 v1.0.0 (CSR‑42)

Traceability, Authority, Responsibility & Collision‑Prevention Protocol

Purpose

As the ADPA ecosystem scales to multi‑agent, multi‑tier, and multi‑stakeholder collaboration, the risks of authority collisions, execution collisions, semantic collisions, lineage collisions, and multi‑agent operational collisions increase significantly.

This protocol (TAR‑COL) merges:

  • TAR — Traceability, Authority, Responsibility
  • COL — Collision‑Prevention & Multi‑Agent Coordination

to ensure that every action is attributable, every tier stays within its authority, and no operation collides with another, even across unaware or passive stakeholders.

This preserves:

  • Lifecycle Integrity (G2)
  • Evidence & Lineage (G3)
  • Determinism (G4)
  • Multi‑Agent Stability (COL‑G1 to COL‑G6)

✅ 1. RPAS‑TAR Requirements

(Traceability, Authority, Responsibility)

T1 — Artifact Traceability

Every governed artifact must record:

  • origin source
  • human decision ID
  • amendment ID
  • CSR version
  • deterministic timestamp
  • version lineage

Enforces G3: complete reconstructibility.

T2 — Actor Traceability

Every execution must log:

  • proposer
  • approver
  • executor
  • system identity
  • CSR epoch

Ensures chain‑of‑custody and forensic accountability.

T3 — Authority Boundaries

Each tier may only perform actions explicitly assigned:

Tier Authority Responsibility
Intelligence Advisory only Propose / analyze
Experience Read + Decision UID Draft or approve
Orchestration Sole executor Mutate state via rituals
Data Append‑only Immutable ledger

G1 + G5 enforcement: No implicit writes, no bypass of orchestrator.

T4 — Non‑Overlap Responsibility Rule

Each tier's responsibility must be disjoint:

  • Intelligence must not execute
  • Experience must not mutate state
  • Orchestrator must not propose
  • Data tier never accepts direct writes

Removes ambiguity → prevents authority collisions.

T5 — Ritual Conformance

Every action must map to exactly one ritual stage: Ideation → Business Case → Approval → RTM Seed → Amendment Proposal → Amendment Decision → Execution → CSR Baseline

No skipping, branching, or silent transitions.

T6 — Deterministic Reproducibility

Given same inputs, amendments, and CSR version, execution must produce identical results. Prevents divergence → eliminates execution collisions.

✅ 2. Collision‑Prevention Measures (COL‑G1 to COL‑G6)

(Integrated into TAR responsibilities)

CP1 — Tier Collision Prevention

Prevents authority overlap between tiers. Mechanisms:

  • Experience = advisory / decision
  • Orchestrator = exclusive executor
  • Intelligence = zero mutations
  • Data = append‑only

Violations auto‑trigger G1/G5 governance stop.

CP2 — Execution Collision Prevention

Prevents concurrent mutations on the same artifact:

  • CSR epoch locking
  • idempotent rituals
  • replay‑safe executions
  • double‑write prevention

If execution replays → mutation does not occur.

CP3 — Amendment Collision Prevention

Prevents two amendments from:

  • replacing the same RTM item
  • creating conflicting lineages
  • breaking deterministic execution

Mechanisms:

  • append‑only ledger
  • amendment‑specific IDs
  • CSR commit closure

CP4 — Semantic Collision Prevention (DRACO)

DRACO validates:

  • conflicting proposals
  • semantic misunderstandings
  • authority misalignment
  • high‑convergence LLM errors

Catches conceptual collisions before execution.

CP5 — Build / Topology Collision Prevention

AEV Gate 2 + Gate 3 prevent:

  • broken references
  • Aspire topology mismatch
  • cross‑tier boundary breaks
  • service‑graph divergence

Enforces stable multi‑tier geometry.

CP6 — Governance Collision Prevention

Final safety barrier (Gate 4). Prohibits:

  • UI‑side mutations
  • AI‑side execution attempts
  • raw SQL writes in Experience tier
  • orchestrator bypass attempts

Stops unauthorized mutation attempts at governance boundary.

✅ 3. Multi‑Agent Collision Protocol (Integrated COL Module)

G1: Explicit Task Allocation

Each agent receives a strict atomic scope via TCL‑001. Overlap prohibited unless centrally coordinated.

G2: Pre‑emptive Conflict Detection

Before AEV Phase 2, agents must check:

  • active agent scopes
  • overlapping deltas
  • pending uncommitted changes

Prevents COL‑OVERWRITE and COL‑DEPENDENCY.

G3: Pessimistic Locking

Agents must lock:

  • files
  • RTM items
  • amendments
  • topology nodes

…before mutating state. Locks are formal AEV ritual steps.

G4: Atomic Commit & Rollback

All agent mutations must be atomic. On collision → rollback to last CSR baseline.

G5: Structured Communication & Escalation

Agents communicate through a structured, machine‑readable, and deterministic intention & conflict protocol. Unresolved conflicts → ESC‑MULTI / ESC‑CONFLICT.

G6: Human Authority

Agents cannot self‑arbitrate collisions. Human operators retain final authority.

✅ 4. Collision Scenario Mapping

Integrates TAR + COL into one table.

Scenario Source TAR Rule CP Rule
COL‑OVERWRITE file conflict T3/T4 CP2
COL‑DEPENDENCY missing prereq T5/T6 G2
COL‑SCOPE ambiguous scope T4 G1
COL‑RACE shared resources T3 G3
COL‑INTENT divergent semantic interpretations T1/T2 CP4

✅ One‑Sentence Summary

RPAS‑TAR‑COL ensures that every action is traceable, every actor stays within its authority, and all responsibilities remain non‑overlapping — preventing collisions in execution, semantics, lineage, topology, and governance across the entire ADPA ecosystem.
