Chapter 15 — Release & Manifest (manifest)
One-sentence goal: Define a manifest-driven delivery pathway from verification to release for lens systems, specifying a reproducible manifest.lens structure with signing and contractual checks so that spectral/variational dual forms and uncertainty are jointly governed at go-live.
I. Scope & Objects
- Inputs
- Graph & measure: G = (V, E, w), L_* ∈ { L, L^vis, L_ani }, M, boundary B.
- Lens stack: K_eff = compose({ K_i }), kernel families g_i(•; θ_i), per-layer order_i, λ_max estimation.
- Verification artifacts: x_spec, x_var, delta_form, T_trans, ρ(K_eff), runtime metrics, and uncertainties u(•).
- Runtime params: window, stride, cache.ttl, passthrough_on_fail, RefCond (version / device / resources).
- Outputs
- Manifest object: manifest.lens (versioning, dependencies, parameters, metrics, contract checks, uncertainty, signature).
- Release artifacts: loadable spec/var configs & weights, dashboard cards, and audit records.
- Applicability
Valid for both offline and streaming. Passive by default (T_trans ≤ 1 + ε); active operation requires explicit flagging and an allow-list.
II. Terms & Variables
- Top-level keys: TraceID, ts, version_semver, signature.
- Domain groups: graph, kernel, compose, run, metrics, uncertainty, contracts, artifacts, audit.
- Key quantities & units
unit(T_trans) = 1, dim(T_trans) = "[]"; unit(ρ) = 1; unit(delta_form) = unit(x); unit(λ_max) = 1; unit(lat) = "[T]". - Uncertainty: u(z), u_c, U = k * u_c, nu_eff, method ∈ { GUM, MC }.
III. Postulates P715-*
- P715-1 (Completeness): Prior to release, all eight domains—graph / kernel / compose / run / metrics / uncertainty / contracts / audit—must be present. Otherwise do not release.
- P715-2 (Dual presence): Persist both spec and var implementations; log delta_form together with thresholds/guardbands.
- P715-3 (Dimensional consistency): check_dim must pass before signing.
- P715-4 (Reproducible & immutable): Signatures are computed over canonicalized content; any field change yields a new signature and version_semver.
- P715-5 (Minimum visibility): The manifest must not embed raw PII or confidential samples—store only hashes and data references.
IV. Minimal Equations S715-*
- S715-1 (Dual-form gap & threshold)
delta_form = || x_spec − x_var ||_2; go-live condition:
delta_form + k * u(delta_form) ≤ tol_form. - S715-2 (Energy transmittance & spectral radius)
T_trans = E( x_out ; M ) / E( x_in ; M ), E(x; M) = (1/2) x^T M x;
ρ(K_eff) ≤ ∏_i sup_λ | g_i(λ) |. - S715-3 (Uncertainty summary)
u_c^2(z) = J V_ξ J^T + u^2(ε_approx) + u^2(ε_spec); publish coverage U = k * u_c and nu_eff. - S715-4 (Signature & fingerprint)
sig = H( canonicalize( manifest.lens.core ) ), where
core = { graph, kernel, compose, run, contracts } and H is a collision-resistant hash.
V. Metrology Pipeline M71-15 (Assemble → Verify → Sign → Publish → Rollback)
- Assemble: Collect graph / L_* / M / B, kernels & parameters, K_eff composition, runtime config; import verification and uncertainty results.
- Verify: Execute the contract set C71-15x; run check_dim, validate units, and complete the final audit of spec/var deltas.
- Sign: Compute signature over canonicalized content; write version_semver and RefCond / method / seed.
- Publish: Push to registry://lens; generate dashboard cards and alert thresholds; include change logs and impact scope.
- Rollback plan: Bind rollback_to (last stable signature) and a fallback ladder (lower-order → damping → bypass) in the manifest.
VI. Contracts & Assertions C71-15x (Release gates)
- C71-1501: delta_form_p99 ≤ 1e−3 * || x_in ||_2 (relax to 3e−3 for non-smooth proximals).
- C71-1502: T_trans_p95 ≤ 1.01 (passive). If has_source = true, then E_balance_p95 ≤ 1e−6.
- C71-1503: ρ(K_eff) ≤ 1.02 and U_ρ ≤ 1.03.
- C71-1504: Runtime lat_p95 ≤ 0.5 * window; cpu_p95 ≤ 80%; mem_p95 ≤ cap − 10%.
- C71-1505: uncertainty.coverage ≥ 95% (k ≈ 2 or quantiles); report nu_eff.
- C71-1506: RefCond / method / seed completeness = 100%; signature verification passes.
VII. Implementation Bindings I71-15* (interfaces, I/O, invariants)
- build_manifest( K_eff, graph, run, results, u_report, contracts ) -> manifest.lens
- canonicalize_manifest( manifest ) -> bytes
- sign_manifest( bytes, keyref ) -> signature
- validate_manifest( manifest, rules ) -> { pass, violations }
- publish_manifest( manifest, registry ) -> uri
- plan_rollback( manifest, telemetry ) -> actions
Invariants: non_null(core fields); V_ξ ⪰ 0; two_forms_present == true;
signature == H( canonicalize(core) ).
VIII. Cross-References
- Kernels & spectral realization: Ch. 5; multi-layer & gating: Ch. 8; learning-based lenses: Ch. 9.
- Physical consistency: Ch. 10; runtime streaming: Ch. 11; contracts & metrics: Ch. 12; uncertainty: Ch. 13; use-case rollout: Ch. 14.
- Operational dashboards & rollback for dynamical systems: EFT.WP.STG.Dynamics v1.0, Ch. 14.
IX. Quality & Risk Control
- SLI/SLO: delta_form_p99, T_trans_p95, ρ_p95, lat_p95, error_rate, fallback_rate, drift_u_ratio.
- Audit trail: signature, approvals, canary/rollback records, threshold changes, hashes of outlier sample indices.
- Retention: keep manifest & panel snapshots ≥ 180 days; retain versioned binaries of weights & parameters.
