Tools by execution layer.

Waveframe is not one monolith. It is a set of narrow infrastructure components that turn governance into authority, authority into contracts, contracts into admissibility decisions, and decisions into runtime enforcement.

Start with the runtime path

pip install waveframe-guard cricore cricore-contract-compiler cricore-proposal-normalizer

For production systems, Guard is the runtime boundary. CRI-CORE is the decision kernel. The compiler and normalizer prepare the authority and proposal inputs those runtime layers require.

Layered Ecosystem

Governance Layer

Governance-Ledger

Authoring / Publication

Normalizes human governance, produces diagnostics, gates publication, preserves lineage, and writes registry-ready authority artifacts.

ConsumesSource governance and reviews

EmitsPublished authority, manifests, registry entries

Does notRun enforcement or infer unsupported meaning

Install: pip install governance-ledger

Compilation Layer

CRI-CORE Contract Compiler

Deterministic Contract Build

Converts approved governance policy into stable, machine-readable compiled authority contracts with contract id, semantic version, and hash.

ConsumesGovernance policy JSON

EmitsCompiled authority contract

Does notEvaluate actions or enforce governance

Install: pip install cricore-contract-compiler

Proposal Layer

Proposal Normalizer

Canonical Input Shape

Assembles actor, mutation, artifacts, and contract reference into the single canonical proposal envelope CRI-CORE evaluates.

ConsumesCaller-supplied action references

EmitsCanonical proposal

Does notCompute contract truth or interpret policy

Install: pip install cricore-proposal-normalizer

Enforcement Layer

CRI-CORE

Admissibility Kernel

Evaluates the canonical proposal against the compiled authority contract and returns a deterministic execution decision.

ConsumesCanonical proposal and compiled contract

Emitscommit_allowed and reason

Does notExecute actions or orchestrate workflows

Install: pip install cricore

Waveframe Guard

Runtime Boundary

Intercepts function execution, loads published contract artifacts, calls enforcement logic, and blocks invalid actions before they run.

ConsumesFunction call, actor, contract artifact or registry ref

EmitsGoverned execution result and local audit event

Does notDefine authority or author policy

Install: pip install waveframe-guard

Authority / Audit Layer

Waveframe Cloud

Authority Distribution

Serves registry metadata, immutable authority contracts, audit ingestion, organization-scoped identities, and durable receipts.

ConsumesPublished contracts and governed audit events

EmitsRegistry responses, contract artifacts, audit receipts

Does notDecide admissibility, normalize policy, or orchestrate actions
