# VOTE_POC_CHAIN_OBSERVATION_SNAPSHOT_PHASE1

**Slice**: `VOTE_POC_CHAIN_OBSERVATION_SNAPSHOT_PHASE1`
**Worker**: W9
**Date**: 2026-05-25
**Status**: GOVERNANCE CLOSURE
**Mode**: DOCS-ONLY

---

## Critical Statement

**Implementation-complete does NOT mean public-launched.**

The Vote PoC chain is implementation-complete (6/6 slices merged). It is NOT:
- Publicly launched
- Route-activated
- Registry-promoted
- CABR-ready
- Payout-ready
- DAO-ready

This snapshot locks the chain in its current state and defines re-open criteria.

---

## 1. Mission and Scope

### 1.1 Objective

Lock the Vote PoC chain in its implementation-complete, not-public-launched state. This is a governance closure snapshot that:
- Records the six merged slices with their merge commits
- Documents current test and truth-boundary evidence
- Lists prohibited surfaces that remain closed
- Defines exact criteria required to re-open Vote work

### 1.2 Constraints

This slice is DOCS-ONLY:
- NO code mutation
- NO test mutation
- NO manifest/registry/catalog/projection mutation
- NO route activation
- NO public file creation
- NO live FEC API
- NO network/LLM calls

---

## 2. HoloIndex Retrieval Assessment

### 2.1 Searches Performed

| Query | Hits | Top Results | Quality |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| VOTE_POC_FEC_ADAPTER_PHASE1 | 20 | moltbot tests, trade adapters | Medium - semantic drift |
| VOTE_POC_ENTITY_RESOLUTION_PHASE1 | 20 | VoteBallots audit docs | High |
| VOTE_POC_FUNDING_SUMMARY_PHASE1 | 20 | Trade simulation docs | Medium |
| VOTE_POC_CONFIDENCE_SCORING_INTEGRATION_PHASE1 | 20 | WSP docs, audit docs | High |
| VOTE_POC_QUICK_ANSWER_GENERATION_PHASE1 | 20 | Theorist DAE, AI overseer | Medium |
| VOTE_POC_SHELL_INTEGRATION_PHASE1 | 20 | Shell tests, WSP 97 | High |

### 2.2 Assessment

- **Noise**: Medium - some semantic drift to Trade and other PoC docs
- **Ordering**: Acceptable - audit docs appear but not always top-ranked
- **Missing**: None - all 6 audit docs exist and are findable
- **Staleness**: None - all docs current post-merge
- **Retrieval recommendation**: Direct file path access for Vote audit docs is reliable; HoloIndex semantic search supplements but doesn't replace targeted reads

## 4. Current Vote PoC State

### 4.1 Implementation Inventory

| Component | Location | Lines | Status |
|-----------|----------|-------|--------|
| FEC Adapter | `src/fec_adapter.py` | ~810 | Complete |
| Entity Resolution | `src/entity_resolution.py` | ~280 | Complete |
| Funding Summary | `src/funding_summary.py` | ~420 | Complete |
| Confidence Scoring | `src/confidence_scoring.py` | ~480 | Complete |
| Quick Answer | `src/quick_answer.py` | ~530 | Complete |
| Shell Integration | `src/shell_integration.py` | ~320 | Complete |
| Module Exports | `src/__init__.py` | ~200 | Complete |

### 4.2 Public API Contract

```python
from modules.foundups.voteballots.src import (
# Slice 1: FEC Adapter
get_mock_adapter, MockFECAdapter, CandidateRecord, FECSource,

# Slice 2: Entity Resolution
EntityResolutionRequest, resolve_candidate_entity, resolve_by_name,

# Slice 3: Funding Summary
FundingSummaryRequest, summarize_candidate_funding, TrailTerminationMarker,

# Slice 4: Confidence Scoring
ConfidenceLabel, HumanReviewTrigger, score_funding_summary_confidence,

# Slice 5: Quick Answer
QuickAnswer, generate_shell_answer, is_answer_ready_for_display,

# Slice 6: Shell Integration
VoteShellPayload, build_vote_shell_payload, is_payload_ready,
)
```

## 5. Test and Forbidden-Surface Evidence

### 5.1 Test Results

```
python -m pytest modules/foundups/voteballots/tests/ -q
303 passed in 0.62s
```

| Module | Tests |
|--------|-------|
| FEC Adapter | 46 |
| Entity Resolution | 70 |
| Funding Summary | 42 |
| Confidence Scoring | 37 |
| Quick Answer | 46 |
| Shell Integration | 62 |
| **Total** | **303** |

### 5.2 Forbidden Import Scan

All 6 slices verified clean of:
- LLM imports (openai, anthropic, ollama, transformers)
- Network imports beyond stdlib
- Live FEC API calls

### 5.3 Forbidden Language Scan

All 6 slices verified clean of:
- Recommendation language ("should vote", "endorse", "best candidate")
- Persuasion language ("you must", "urgent", "act now")
- Targeting fields (user_id, demographic, location)

## 6. Shell/Public Boundary Status

### 6.1 Manifest State

```json
{
"foundup_id": "voteballots",
"entry_url": "",
"launch_readiness": "discoverable_only",
"routing_prefix": "/f/voteballots"
}
```

- `entry_url` is EMPTY (not activated)
- `launch_readiness` is `discoverable_only` (not launchable)

### 6.2 Shell Payload Contract

The shell integration layer defines:
- `FOUNDUP_ID = "voteballots"` (readonly)
- `ROUTE_NAMESPACE = "/f/voteballots"` (readonly)
- `APP_MOUNT = "/f/voteballots/app"` (NOT activated)

The payload contract exists for future shell work but:
- No route handlers exist
- No public files created
- No shell behavior modified

### 6.3 Public Surface Status

| Surface | Status |
|---------|--------|
| entry_url | EMPTY |
| Route handlers | NONE |
| Public files | NONE |
| Shell integration | LOCAL CONTRACT ONLY |
| Registry promotion | NOT PERFORMED |
| Catalog entry | NOT ACTIVATED |
| Projection | NOT CREATED |

---

## 7. Re-Open Criteria V1-V8

Any future Vote work must cite one of these criteria and create a new architect packet.

| ID | Criterion | Required Packet |
|----|-----------|-----------------|
| V1 | Live FEC API activation | VOTE_POC_LIVE_FEC_BOUNDARY_PHASE1 |
| V2 | Public route or entry_url activation | VOTE_POC_PUBLIC_ROUTE_ACTIVATION_PHASE1 |
| V3 | Registry/entity promotion | VOTE_POC_REGISTRY_PROMOTION_PHASE1 |
| V4 | Persuasion/recommendation/targeting language | VOTE_POC_POLITICAL_SAFETY_REVIEW_PHASE1 |
| V5 | Confidence rule or human-review trigger change | VOTE_POC_CONFIDENCE_RULE_REVIEW_PHASE2 |
| V6 | Quick-answer new facts, LLM, or prose expansion | VOTE_POC_ANSWER_GENERATION_BOUNDARY_PHASE2 |
| V7 | Manifest/catalog/projection/CABR/payout/DAO claim | VOTE_POC_GOVERNANCE_BOUNDARY_PHASE1 |
| V8 | Shell payload contract or namespace change | VOTE_POC_SHELL_CONTRACT_PHASE2 |

### 7.1 Re-Open Process

1. Architect creates packet citing V1-V8 criterion
2. Worker executes under WSP governance
3. W10 merge gate validates boundary compliance
4. New snapshot records state change

---

## 8. What This Snapshot Does NOT Do

This snapshot explicitly does NOT:

| Action | Status |
|--------|--------|
| Activate public routes | NO |
| Set entry_url | NO |
| Promote to registry | NO |
| Create catalog entry | NO |
| Create projection | NO |
| Enable CABR | NO |
| Enable payout | NO |
| Enable DAO | NO |
| Call live FEC API | NO |
| Call any LLM | NO |
| Generate new facts | NO |
| Add persuasion language | NO |
| Add targeting fields | NO |
| Modify any code | NO |
| Modify any tests | NO |
| Modify manifest | NO |

---

## 9. Recommended Next Direction

The Vote PoC chain is implementation-complete. Potential next steps (each requires architect packet):

| Priority | Direction | Criterion |
|----------|-----------|-----------|
| P1 | Live FEC API integration | V1 |
| P2 | User testing with mock data | No new criterion (current state) |
| P3 | Shell UI wireframe | V8 |
| P4 | Public beta preparation | V2, V3 |

**No automatic next slice.** Any future Vote work must cite V1-V8.
