| # Goblin as Control Primitive | ||
|
|
||
| This document operationalizes **Goblin** as a control primitive for agents and systems. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Definition | ||
|
|
||
| Goblin = system state is not trustworthy for decision-making. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Required Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| When Goblin is detected: | ||
|
|
||
| - Do not trust current state | ||
| - Gate irreversible actions | ||
| - Capture cross-plane state | ||
| - Surface explicitly | ||
|
|
||
| ## Trigger Conditions | ||
|
|
||
| - Cross-plane inconsistency | ||
| - Presented vs actual divergence | ||
| - Orphaned authority | ||
| - Unresolvable truth source | ||
|
|
||
| ## Agent Rule | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| IF inconsistency_detected: | ||
| emit GoblinEvent | ||
| set severity >= 2 | ||
| block irreversible actions | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Notes | ||
|
|
||
| Goblin is the front-door signal. Root cause (model gap, drift, SCIG) is secondary. |

The new runtime helper emits
"action": "gate"for severity 2 (including the defaultdetect_goblin(True)path), which conflicts with the contract added indocs/goblin-control-primitive.md(IF inconsistency_detected ... block irreversible actions). If downstream code relies on theactionfield to enforce safeguards, the default inconsistency case will not block irreversible operations, weakening the control primitive exactly when it should fail safe.Useful?
