Use the moment a request is underspecified and you are about to act on an ASSUMED goal. Enumerate the candidate goals the request could mean, project the action or artifact each one implies, and check whether they diverge: if two or more plausible goals lead to materially different actions or artifacts, ask exactly ONE targeted clarifying question; otherwise proceed on the most-likely goal and state the assumption in one line. Clarification is an evidence-producing action, not a delay — but one question, never an interrogation. Distinct from gsd-spec-phase (GSD-phase-bound, emits a heavy SPEC.md) and intent-router (fetch strategy, not goal disambiguation). Backed by agent goal-state inference (arxiv 2606.16813v1). Triggers on acting under an assumed goal when the request admits more than one materially different reading.
Use at write time to vector/embedding memory — Grove content-addressed insertion, chroma/pgvector upserts, memory-consolidation promoting session traces to MEMORY.md, or embedding externally-ingested content. Scores each candidate record against a fixed panel of sentinel queries and quarantines any record that would become the nearest neighbor of too many unrelated queries — a hub — whether from adversarial poisoning or accidental over-generality. This is the memory-record-side sibling of skill-injection-guardian (file-side) and the write-side complement of memory-use-warrant (read-side). Quarantine, never silently drop; a human reviews. Backed by the admission-time hubness gate (arxiv 2606.19692v1). Triggers on inserting into vector memory, consolidating memory, and embedding stranger content.
Run this appropriateness check the moment you are about to integrate a retrieved long-term memory — a Grove content-addressed hit, a chroma/pgvector neighbour, a memory-consolidation digest, or a MEMORY.md line — into a response, especially anything touching private origins, Fox Companies IP, credentials, or Center Camp / consent-governed content. It answers a question intent-router never asks: not WHAT to fetch or HOW, but WHETHER a correctly-retrieved item should reach output. Relevance is not appropriateness — a perfect similarity match can still be a boundary violation. Default is FAIL-CLOSED: if in-context authorization is uncertain, the memory may inform behaviour but must not be surfaced. Backed by RBI-Eval (arxiv 2606.06055v1). Triggers on surfacing recalled sensitive memory into a response.

Filesystem-backed state management for multi-agent orchestration. All state is stored as individual JSON files using atomic write operations. No database dependencies.
Path: .chipset/state/agents/{id}.json
Persistent record of an agent in the topology. Contains role, rig assignment, hook pointer, lifecycle status, and optional ephemeral session ID.
interface AgentIdentity {
id: string; // Unique identifier (e.g., 'polecat-alpha')
role: AgentRole; // mayor | witness | refinery | polecat | crew
rig: string; // Parent rig name
hookId: string; // Pointer to hook bead in state/hooks/
status: AgentStatus; // idle | active | stalled | terminated
sessionId?: string; // Present only while agent is active
}
Path: .chipset/state/work/{bead-id}.json
A unit of work flowing through the dispatch pipeline. Created by the mayor, assigned via hooks, tracked through lifecycle.
interface WorkItem {
beadId: string; // Bead-style ID (prefix-xxxxx)
title: string;
description: string;
status: WorkStatus; // open | hooked | in_progress | done | merged
assignee?: string;
: ;
: | | ;
}
Path: .chipset/state/hooks/{agent-id}.json
Current work assignment for an agent. Enforces GUPP (Get Up and Push Protocol) -- one agent, one work item at a time.
interface HookState {
agentId: string;
status: HookStatus;
workItem?: WorkItem; // Present when hook is pending/active
lastActivity: string; // ISO 8601 timestamp
}
Constraint: An agent can hold at most one hook at a time. Setting a new hook on an agent that already has an active hook is rejected. The caller must clear the existing hook first.
Path: .chipset/state/convoys/{id}.json
Groups related work items for batch tracking. The mayor creates convoys to organize beads and monitor aggregate progress.
interface Convoy {
id: string;
name: string;
beadIds: string[];
progress: number; // 0.0 to 1.0
createdAt: string; // ISO 8601
}
Path: .chipset/state/merge-queue/{id}.json
Queued for the refinery. Processed strictly sequentially -- no parallel merges. Conflicts block the queue and escalate.
interface MergeRequest {
id: string;
sourceBranch: string;
targetBranch: string;
status: 'pending' | 'merging' | 'merged' | 'conflicted';
beadId: string;
}

Each entity is a single JSON file. The directory structure acts as the "table" -- listing files is the equivalent of a database scan.
All mutations follow a three-step atomic write protocol:
.{name}.tmp)This guarantees that a reader always sees either the complete old state or the complete new state, never a partial write. If the process crashes between steps 1-2, only the temp file is left (cleaned up on next startup). If it crashes between steps 2-3, the temp file contains the full new state and can be recovered.
All JSON output uses JSON.stringify with sorted keys. This produces deterministic output that creates clean, minimal diffs when tracked by git. Sorted keys also make manual inspection easier -- fields appear in a predictable order.
// Sorted-key serialization
function serialize(data: unknown): string {
return JSON.stringify(data, Object.keys(data as object).sort(), 2);
}
State is filesystem-only. No SQLite, no LevelDB, no external services. This means:
cat and editable with any text editormkdir -pThe StateManager class provides typed CRUD operations for all state entities.
const manager = new StateManager({ stateDir: '.chipset/state/' });
The stateDir parameter is configurable. The manager creates subdirectories on first use.
