🔁 TruthSpec Manifest: Validator Rotation Engine
This manifest defines the behavioral guarantees, entropy dependencies, and governance linkage for QuantumChain’s validator rotation subsystem. It ensures that rotation is not just scheduled—but earned through system stability and telemetry trust.
✅ Semantic Contract
| Element |
Description |
| Intent |
Maintain validator fairness and entropy-weighted participation |
| Trigger Conditions |
Stable entropy signal and healthy telemetry quorum |
| Behavioral Promise |
Rotation only occurs when system health meets defined thresholds |
| Mutation Safety |
Rotation logic is immutable during emergency halt or governance override |
| Observability |
Rotation events are logged with entropy and telemetry snapshots |
| Governance Influence |
Rotation interval and equity class multiplier are runtime-mutable |

🧭 Notes
Rotation is not a timer—it’s a trust mechanism. This TruthSpec ensures that validator transitions reflect system health, fairness, and governance alignment.
