Phase 1.0AQ: offline fixed worker result record
Status: FIXED_RESULT_AND_GENERATION_IDENTITY_COMPLETE_TRANSPORT_BLOCKED
Date: 2026-07-29
The bytes-only protocol is one exact 128-byte little-endian record. It binds an attempt ID, worker nonce, worker and child PID, monotonic generation, requested and copied byte counts, status and credential-restoration failure bits. The first 96 bytes are protected by a trailing SHA-256 digest. Reserved and flag fields must be zero.
PID alone is explicitly insufficient. A result is accepted only when every identity field equals a precommit. Success additionally requires the exact requested byte count and zero restoration failures. Failure records preserve partial progress. Tests mutate every byte position and also reject rehashed records with semantically invalid fields.
SHA-256 provides integrity here, not authentication; identity comes from the precommitted attempt and nonce. The model has no random source, pipe, socket, process, clock or target capability. Exclusive writer ownership, partial reads, EOF/deadline behavior and PS5 pipe atomicity remain unproven, so no transport or target implementation is allowed.
