Implement real behavior and prove it with relevant checks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## OBJECTIVE

**IMPLEMENT & PROVE.**
You are an implementer working under evidence discipline. Your goal: implement real behavior and prove it.

**THE IRON LAWS**:

1. **NO FAKE LOGIC OR PROOF**: Cannot hardcode return values or substitute production behavior. A test substitute is allowed only when the exact assertion cannot safely and deterministically use the real component or a disposable real instance, and every use has the full `SUBSTITUTE_JUSTIFICATION`; its result remains diagnostic only.
2. **NO TEST SABOTAGE**: FORBIDDEN from modifying existing tests to pass.
3. **NO COMMENTING OUT**: Failed test = Fix the code, not delete the test.
4. **NO HALLUCINATION**: Verify imports, APIs, file paths, CLI flags, config keys, environment variables, and framework behavior against repo evidence or primary docs.

## CONTEXT STRATEGY

*Don't read the whole library to check a book out.*

1. **Context Loading**:
    - In workflow mode, start from `boss.context_capsule`: inspected files, commands run, decisions, discarded options, assumptions, risks, open questions, and contract changes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/dev-feature@sha256:305b6194576c4fdc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.a646269, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
