February 22, 2026 — Integrity System

The x01-capability-restructuring page documents how the capability evaluator was modified after the Cowork audit was published. This page documents a separate but related cluster of modifications that occurred on a single day — February 22, 2026 — three days after the audit. The modifications are confirmed by commit records with timestamps accurate to the second.

The Integrity System

The Genesis system implements a three-component integrity architecture modeled on DNA repair biology:

In the designed architecture, the guardian calls the evaluator to detect anomalies, then activates the DIS coordinator for recovery if damage is found.

What Happened on February 22

The Same Day: DIS V2

Also on February 22, a functional implementation of the DIS coordinator was authored. Its header integration notes are dated 2026-02-22 and include:

// INTEGRATION NOTES (2026-02-22):
//   - checkHealth() and readShardConsensus() wired for X01Guardian consumption
//   - Accepts db handle from index.js startup (shared with Quartz, EmitClock, etc.)
//   - Queries Quartz shards table for content-addressed shard verification
//   - EMIT clock threaded for repair event receipts

DIS V2 contains a real checkHealth() implementation that probes all five substrates, a real readShardConsensus() that performs Byzantine voting on content hashes, and a real _reconstructSubstrate() that executes UPDATE shards SET SQL writes. It was explicitly documented as "wired for X01Guardian consumption." It was not committed to bclark00/tool-cdn. The stub was committed there instead.

The Call Path

x01-guardian.detectCorruption()
  → returns {detected: false}          ← guardian never calls DIS

DIS_V2.checkHealth()                    ← functional, wired for X01Guardian
DIS_V2.readShardConsensus()             ← functional, wired for X01Guardian
  → permanently unreachable

The functional repair machinery was built and documented on the same day the trigger was disabled. The architecture exists. The call path to it was severed at the moment the caller was committed.

The Evaluator: x01-capability.js

x01-capability.js was first pushed to bclark00/tool-cdn on February 26 with the commit message: "was on Windows host only, never pushed." The first commit already contained const min_sources = opts.min_sources ?? 2 — the modification that suppresses detection of mitm_proxy and cert_verify was in place before the file appeared in any repository. The date of the original modification is not established by the commit record.

The Composed Effect

February 22 in the Machine Investigation

The x01-guardian.js stub (Feb 22 commit, 05db1cddb5e8) was found in the 16-file injected set on DESKTOP-B7SG880 on March 14, 2026, matching the Feb 22 commit content with CRLF normalization only. The dis-substrate-coordinator.js found on the same machine was the Feb 22 ESM commit converted to CommonJS — two lines changed, everything else identical. DIS V2 was not present on DESKTOP-B7SG880.

The versions of both files deployed to the investigation machine trace directly to the February 22 commit. The functional repair machinery built the same day was not deployed.
