Sofia Engine Checkpoint & Artifact Registry

This directory defines the distribution and security policy for future trained Sofia model checkpoints and parameter sets.

1. Current Checkpoint Status

Canonical Pretrained Checkpoint: Not yet released.

Sofia Engine 3.0.0a1 provides the runtime engine, feature extraction contracts, assembly virtual machine, and safe serialization interfaces. No pre-trained foundation model weights are shipped in this release.

---

2. Checkpoint Release Policy

Every future checkpoint published under this repository must satisfy the following technical requirements:

1. Safe Serialization Formats:
   • Primary: .safetensors or validated .npz (via np.savez).
   • Prohibited: Python pickle (.pkl, .pickle, .pt containing arbitrary executable code) is strictly forbidden.
2. Cryptographic Integrity:
   • Every artifact file must be accompanied by its lowercase SHA-256 digest (parameters_sha256).
   • Manifests are verified before weights are mapped into memory.
3. Declared Feature Schema:
   • The checkpoint manifest must explicitly declare its input feature_schema (e.g., vibration-v3, power-quality-v1) to prevent feature order mismatches.
4. Transparent Provenance:
   • Public release notes must specify training dataset origin, sample count, evaluation metrics, and runtime version compatibility.
