📄 TruthSpec Manifest: Emergency Halt Protocol
This manifest defines the behavioral contract, runtime identity, and mutation context for the emergency stop subsystem within network.go. It reflects not just system functionality, but intent, governance linkage, and operational guarantees.
✅ Semantic Contract
| Element |
Description |
| Intent |
Prevent cascading validator failure during entropy or telemetry collapse |
| Trigger Conditions |
Heartbeat drop, QRNG sync failure, slashing contagion |
| Behavioral Promise |
Immediate halt of validator transitions and protocol mutation |
| Mutation Safety |
Immutable during halt; mutations suspended until system stability restores |
| Observability |
Telemetry ping triggers alert; runtime logs include reason |
| Governance Lockout |
Governance proposals temporarily blocked during halt |
🧬 Runtime Fingerprint
| Field |
Value |
| Build Hash |
c8a12fe1-network-stable-v1.04 |
| Halt Logic Checksum |
SHA256 of EmergencyHaltProtocol block |
| Active Validator Set |
Snapshot of current rotation table |
| Telemetry Sync UUID |
Live signal handshake identifier from last heartbeat |
| CI/CD Tag |

Details |
| Proposal ID |
PROP-407: Emergency Escalation Containment |
| Valid From |
07-01-2025 00:00 UTC |
| Mutation Restricted |
Until entropy score normalization and validator recovery |
| Override Protocol |
Manual lift requires validator quorum and signed governance unlock signal |
📊 Validation Matrix
| Scenario |
Expected Behavior |
Logging Event |
| Heartbeat failure (multi-node) |
Trigger emergency halt |
EMERGENCY_TRIGGER: Heartbeat |
| QRNG sync drift > threshold |
Trigger emergency halt |
EMERGENCY_TRIGGER: QRNG |
| Slash contagion (≥3 validators) |
Trigger emergency halt |
EMERGENCY_TRIGGER: Slashing |
| Entropy recovery within 10s |
No trigger |
RECOVERY_ATTEMPT: Stabilizing |
| Manual override without quorum |
No effect |
GOVERNANCE_BLOCKED: No quorum |
