Implementation spec for Cipher as a living system — cipher-state.jsonl unified event bus, sandbox execution loop for TASK proposals, [learned] context injection from accumulated outcomes, preference memory from approvals/rejections. This is NOT research — this is the build spec. Use when implementing any part of the learning loop, state bus, or adaptive scaffold.
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
# Cipher Living System — Build Spec
## 1. State Bus (.aide/cipher-state.jsonl)
Every meaningful event appends one JSON line. All components query relevant
entries. Replaces scattered logs with unified queryable state.
Event types:
- approval {tool, path, decision}
- rejection {tool, path, reason}
- gate {gate, passed, duration_ms}
- ship {commit_sha, files_count, intent}
- phase {from, to, engine}
- preference {pattern, direction}
- error {source, message}
Query helper: `readState(workspace, {type?, since?, limit?})` returns filtered entries newest-first.
## 2. Sandbox Execution Loop
When TASK produces file edits:
1. Copy affected files to .aide/sandboxes/current/
2. Run verify commands against sandbox copies (existing task service)
3. If all pass → present diff for approval (existing flow)
4. If fail → collect errors, feed back to model for retry (max 3 attempts)
5. Log full cycle to cipher-state.jsonl
6. Only verified diffs reach SHIP panel
Implementation: extend planAndBuild's approve handler. After apply, instead of
showing diff immediately: write to scratch, verify, retry if needed, THEN apply

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-cipher-living-system@sha256:d569947ac3f164e3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.8da8b03, 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.
