THE SNAPKITTY METHOD
PUBLIC BY DEFAULT. SOVEREIGN BY CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing needs to be hidden if the boundary between public knowledge and sovereign execution is formally defined.
The Boundary
CODE β PUBLIC
PROOF β PUBLIC
SPEC β PUBLIC
TESTS β PUBLIC
HISTORY β PUBLIC
PROVENANCE β PUBLIC
AUTHORITY β SOVEREIGN
STATE β SOVEREIGN
SECRETS β SOVEREIGN
EXECUTION β AUTHORIZED
The source is public. The state, credentials, execution authority, and deployment boundaries remain sovereign.
This is not: "Here is the fake public version."
This is: "Here is the machine. You don't own the state it operates on."
No Stubs. Proofs Instead.
If something can be published safely β publish the real implementation.
If something cannot be published β publish the formal boundary describing what it is allowed to do.
No theatrical fake API. No TODO implementations. No repository whose only purpose is to look open.
Cryptographic Provenance
Every artifact carries a cryptographic provenance record:
ARTIFACT β HASH β SEAL β COMMIT β VERIFICATION β IMMUTABLE PROVENANCE
The repository is an evidence trail. Not merely a source-code dump.
SHA-256 Β· Merkle relationships Β· Ed25519 signatures Β· WORM records Β· reproducible builds Β· formal verification
The objective is not: "This code exists."
It is: "This artifact existed in this state, was produced through this transformation, and can be independently verified."
Automated Provenance Pipeline
COMMIT β SCHEMA CHECK β SECRET CHECK β LICENSE CHECK β PROVENANCE CHECK
β TEST β FORMAL VERIFICATION β SEAL β PUBLISH
A failed invariant stops publication. The system does not negotiate with the failure.
INVARIANT FAILED β NO β NO SEAL β NO RELEASE
AI Agents β Constrained Builders
Agents operate inside explicit boundaries:
INPUT β AGENT β PROPOSED CHANGE β TEST β STATIC ANALYSIS
β FORMAL CHECK β HUMAN / POLICY GATE β CRYPTOGRAPHIC SEAL β MERGE
An agent cannot declare its own output correct. It must satisfy an external constraint.
An agent may propose state transitions. It may not unilaterally define truth.
The Zero-Sorry Boundary
THEOREM β LEAN 4 β PROOF β ZERO SORRY β VERIFIED ARTIFACT
The repository contains the proof. The verifier independently executes the proof.
Instead of: "Trust the developer."
The architecture moves toward: "Verify the invariant."
Public Code β Public Authority
Open Source β Open Authority
Public Code β Public Control
A public repository exposes architecture, algorithms, interfaces, schemas, tests, proofs, build systems, and documentation β without exposing credentials, deployment authority, operational state, or execution control.
That is the central SnapKitty architectural boundary.
The Principle
Don't hide the machine.
Make the machine verifiable.
Keep control at the execution boundary.
PUBLIC SUBSTRATE. SOVEREIGN STATE. FORMAL CONSTRAINTS. CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVENANCE. ZERO-SORRY WHERE PROVABLE.
