docs(identity): add AFFIRMATION + QuandleDB/KRL must-intend-wish scope
AFFIRMATION.adoc - timestamped (2026-06-19) narrative checkpoint of the identity programme's current place: echo-types Pillars A-D + doubled-ladder Gate 1 (verified) plus the cross-repo identity fabric (equivalence/idem, narrative/ipse, consonance - Conway-Fichte / Bruner / Ricoeur). docs/identity-fabric/musts-intends-wishes.adoc - the QuandleDB / KRL normative scope table (Must / Intend / Wish) with the shared equivalence-integrity spine. Docs only; no Agda added or changed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017TXizM5c1Yd9HWf7Y15YH2

= QuandleDB / KRL — Normative Scope (Must / Intend / Wish)
4+
:toc: preamble
5+
:revdate: 2026-06-19
6+
7+
[abstract]
8+
Normative scope record for the QuandleDB and KRL halves of the KRL stack,
9+
grouped Must / Intend / Wish, with the shared (both) requirement highlighted at
10+
each level. Captured 2026-06-19. `◇` marks proposals not yet canonical.
11+
12+
== Levels
13+
14+
* *MUST* — required to be what it is (RFC 2119 normative).
15+
* *INTEND* — committed direction.
16+
* *WISH* — aspirational.
17+
18+
The middle column is the shared requirement — what is *commonly required for
19+
both* components at that level.
20+
21+
== Table
22+
23+
[cols="1,3,3,3", options="header"]
24+
|===
25+
| Level | QuandleDB (own) | ⊕ Both — shared requirement | KRL (own)
26+
27+
| *MUST*
28+
| Durable store: presentations, invariants, fingerprints, equivalence classes,
29+
witnesses; extract quandle from TangleIR; serve invariant +
30+
colouring/fingerprint; read-only server (writes via Skein)
31+
| Rest on TangleIR / Tangle type-safety (extend, never redefine);
32+
*equivalence-integrity = the `a = a` idem core*; estate governance
33+
(MPL-2.0, SCM-only-in-`.machine_readable`, CI green); honest KRL-stack
34+
grounding (no op↔component category error)
35+
| Be the resolution DSL — Construct / Transform / Resolve / Retrieve; lower to
36+
TangleIR; run on the QuandleDB+Skein substrate (no 1:1 op↔component);
37+
*not merely a query language*
38+
39+
| *INTEND*
40+
| Canonical persistence + equivalence face; host the server-side KRL parser
41+
(`server/krl/`); stable API + AffineScript TEA frontend
42+
| Serve resolution-relevant artefacts + witnesses + provenance/explanations
43+
(KRL names them → QuandleDB supplies); feed Verisim's identity / consonance
44+
layer
45+
| Retrieve = resolution artefacts, not arbitrary query; finish the rsr-template
46+
instantiation; keep polynomial/colouring compute in the engine, invoked not
47+
language-level ◇
48+
49+
| *WISH*
50+
| "maths analogue of a graph database" ◇; re-ground the withdrawn
51+
knot-relation edge layer / schema v5
52+
| Verisim federation node — map↔territory anchoring, anti-drift; generic query
53+
access (deferred — krl ADR 0002)
54+
| A language family: KRL (resolution) + quandle-algebra (object-level
55+
set/relations) + narrative-projection (Lithoglyph) ◇; KRL dialects
56+
|===
57+
58+
== Spine
59+
60+
The ⊕ MUST cell is load-bearing: *equivalence-integrity*. The `a = a` problem
61+
is the single thing both components are unconditionally bound to, from opposite
62+
ends — QuandleDB *computes and stores* it; KRL *resolves with* it. This is the
63+
idem axis of the identity fabric; see `../../AFFIRMATION.adoc` for the
64+
equivalence / narrative / consonance framing (Conway·Fichte / Bruner /
65+
Ricoeur).
