TrustGate Replay Specification

Part 1 — Introduction & Constitutional Principles

1.1. Purpose

The TrustGate Replay Specification defines the constitutional architecture for deterministic reconstruction of TrustGate executions.

Replay enables any conforming implementation to reconstruct constitutional behaviour from immutable constitutional artifacts according to the declared EXACT, BANDED, or RECORDED replay profile, independent of runtime technology, deployment topology, or execution environment.

Replay is a constitutional capability that supports assurance, auditing, explainability, certification, federation, and long-term governance.

This specification is normative.

1.2. Scope

The Replay Specification governs the deterministic reconstruction of constitutional executions performed within the TrustGate platform.

Replay encompasses:

canonical signals;
validation execution;
trust computation;
constitutional decisions;
replay telemetry;
trust attestations;
federation exchanges;
trust intelligence;
cryptographic integrity.

Replay is governed by immutable constitutional artifacts rather than implementation-specific runtime behaviour.

1.3. Constitutional Principles

Every replay implementation shall preserve the following constitutional principles.

Constitutional Truth

Replay reconstructs constitutional truth rather than historical infrastructure.

Determinism

Replay equivalence shall be evaluated according to the declared output replay profile. EXACT outputs reproduce identically; BANDED outputs reproduce within governed tolerance; RECORDED outputs verify recorded integrity, lineage, and anchoring.

Explainability

Every replayed decision shall remain explainable through constitutional lineage.

Immutability

Replay shall never modify published constitutional artifacts.

Traceability

Every replayed artifact shall preserve constitutional provenance.

Federation Compatibility

Replay shall remain valid across federated ECO environments.

Technology Independence

Replay shall not depend upon a specific programming language, database, cloud platform, or orchestration technology.

1.4. Constitutional Objectives

The objectives of Replay are to:

verify historical constitutional executions;
reproduce validation outcomes;
reproduce trust computation;
verify attestations;
verify cryptographic integrity;
reconstruct constitutional lineage;
support regulatory assurance;
support constitutional intelligence.

Replay is an assurance capability rather than a workflow engine.

1.5. Constitutional Replay Philosophy

Replay reconstructs constitutional state.

It does not replay operating systems, infrastructure, container orchestration, or transient runtime behaviour.

Instead, Replay reconstructs:

Observation
      │
      ▼
Signal
      │
      ▼
Validation
      │
      ▼
Evidence
      │
      ▼
Trust
      │
      ▼

Attestation
      │
      ▼
Federation
      │
      ▼
Trust Intelligence
      │
      ▼
Integrity Verification

Replay therefore reconstructs the constitutional assurance chain.

1.6. Constitutional Dependencies

The Replay Specification depends upon the following constitutional specifications.

Specification	Constitutional Contribution
Canonical Identity Architecture (CIA)	Immutable identifiers and provenance
Canonical Artifact Lifecycle Model (CALM)	Artifact lifecycle governance
Canonical Persistence Architecture (CPA)	Persistent constitutional storage
Validation Rule Registry	Replay of governed validation rules
Trust Model	Replay of trust computation
TrustGate Attestation Catalog	Replay of constitutional attestations
Canonical Identifier Registry (CIR)	Resolution of canonical identifiers
Trust Intelligence (TG-INTEL)	Replay of explainable intelligence
Distributed Assurance Ledger (DAL)	Cryptographic integrity verification

Replay shall preserve compatibility with all referenced constitutional specifications.

1.7. Constitutional Replay Boundaries

Replay governs constitutional behaviour.

Replay does not govern:

deployment infrastructure;
operating systems;
orchestration platforms;
hardware architecture;
cloud providers;
network topology;
implementation-specific optimizations.

Only constitutional behaviour is normative.

1.8. Constitutional Artifacts

Replay operates upon immutable constitutional artifacts.

Representative artifact families include:

Artifact Family	Examples
Signals	CSI, USO Instances
Validation	TG-VRES, VEVID
Trust	TOID, TVID
Decisions	Trust Status
Replay	Replay Package, Replay Manifest
Attestation	TG-ATTEST, TAID
Federation	Federation Exchange Package
Intelligence	TG-INTEL, TIID
Integrity	DAL Anchors

Replay shall preserve the constitutional identity and lineage of every artifact.

1.9. Replay and Constitutional Intelligence

Replay forms the constitutional foundation of explainable intelligence.

Rather than replaying AI models themselves, Replay reconstructs the constitutional artifacts consumed by those models.

This enables:

explainable recommendations;
reproducible analyses;
governed intelligence;
constitutional learning;
independent verification.

Trust Intelligence therefore remains anchored to constitutional truth.

1.10. Future Architectural Evolution

Future constitutional specifications will extend Replay through complementary framework families, including:

CRA — Canonical Replay Architecture
CAC — Constitutional Assurance Chain
CIL — Constitutional Intelligence Lifecycle
XPID — Execution Profile Framework

These frameworks extend Replay while preserving constitutional semantics and deterministic behaviour.

1.11. Relationship to the Constitutional Intelligence Platform

Replay occupies the Assure capability within the Constitutional Intelligence Platform.

Replay transforms constitutional observations into verifiable assurance that can be understood, acted upon, and exchanged across trusted ecosystems.

1.12. Summary

The TrustGate Replay Specification defines the constitutional principles for deterministic reconstruction of TrustGate executions.

By replaying immutable constitutional artifacts rather than implementation-specific runtime behaviour, Replay provides the foundation for verification, regulatory assurance, federation, explainable AI, and long-term governance. Through its integration with the Canonical Identity Architecture (CIA), Canonical Artifact Lifecycle Model (CALM), Canonical Persistence Architecture (CPA), Validation Rule Registry, Trust Model, Attestation Catalog, Canonical Identifier Registry (CIR), Trust Intelligence (TG-INTEL), and Distributed Assurance Ledger (DAL), Replay establishes the constitutional mechanism by which trust can be independently reconstructed and verified across time, organizations, and technology platforms.

Part 2 — Canonical Replay Model

2.1. Purpose

The Canonical Replay Model defines the constitutional objects, identities, relationships, and contracts that govern deterministic replay within the TrustGate platform.

The model establishes a technology-independent representation of replay, ensuring that constitutional executions can be reconstructed, verified, and explained across implementations, organizations, and time.

Replay reconstructs constitutional behaviour rather than implementation-specific execution.

2.2. Constitutional Replay Principles

The Canonical Replay Model is governed by the following principles.

Constitutional Identity

Every replay artifact shall possess immutable constitutional identity.

Constitutional Completeness

Replay shall contain sufficient constitutional information to reproduce governed outcomes.

Determinism

Equivalent constitutional inputs shall produce equivalent constitutional outputs.

Explainability

Every replayed artifact shall preserve constitutional provenance and lineage.

Technology Independence

Replay artifacts shall remain independent of runtime implementation.

Federation Compatibility

Replay artifacts shall be exchangeable across trusted ECOs without loss of constitutional meaning.

2.3. Canonical Replay Object Model

Replay consists of a governed set of constitutional objects.

Constitutional Object	Purpose
Replay Package	Complete replayable constitutional execution
Replay Manifest	Constitutional replay contract
Replay Context	Runtime execution context
Replay Checkpoint	Replay synchronization point
Replay Telemetry	Execution chronology
Replay Verification	Replay validation results

Each object participates in the constitutional replay lifecycle.

2.4. Constitutional Replay Package

The Replay Package is the primary constitutional replay artifact.

A Replay Package contains every constitutional artifact required to reconstruct a governed execution.

Representative contents include:

canonical signals (CSI, USO);
validation results (TG-VRES);
validation evidence (VEVID);
trust objects (TOID);
trust vectors (TVID);
trust status;
constitutional telemetry;
attestation references;
federation references;
intelligence references;
DAL integrity references.

Replay Packages are immutable once published.

2.5. Replay Manifest

The Replay Manifest defines the constitutional contract governing replay.

Unlike the Replay Package, which contains replay data, the Replay Manifest specifies what must be replayed.

A Replay Manifest shall minimally identify:

Element	Purpose
Replay Identifier (RPID)	Replay identity
Replay Package Identifier	Referenced replay package
XPID	Execution profile
CEP Version	Canonical execution model
VRID References	Validation rules
Trust Model Version	Trust computation
MEID Versions	Micro-engine versions
Policy Versions	Applicable governance
Schema Versions	Canonical schemas
CIA Version	Identity framework
CALM Version	Lifecycle framework
CPA Version	Persistence framework
DAL Reference	Integrity verification
Replay Checksum	Integrity validation
Replay Signature	Constitutional authenticity

The Replay Manifest is itself an immutable constitutional artifact.

2.6. Replay Context

Replay Context defines the constitutional environment in which replay occurs.

Replay Context includes:

execution profile;
execution chronology;
constitutional policies;
schema versions;
identifier registries;
trust model version;
validation registry version;
replay configuration.

Replay Context excludes implementation-specific runtime configuration.

2.7. Replay Checkpoints

Replay Checkpoints divide constitutional execution into deterministic synchronization points.

Typical checkpoints include:

Checkpoint 1
Signal Established

Checkpoint 2
Validation Completed

Checkpoint 3
Trust Computed

Checkpoint 4
Decision Published

Checkpoint 5
Replay Generated

Checkpoint 6
Attestation Published

Checkpoint 7
Federation Completed

Checkpoint 8
Trust Intelligence Generated

Checkpoint 9
DAL Integrity Verified

Checkpoints facilitate partial replay and constitutional verification.

2.8. Constitutional Replay Relationships

Replay preserves the constitutional relationships between artifacts.

        ▼
Replay Package
        │
        ▼

        │
        ▼
TG-INTEL
        │
        ▼
DAL Anchor

Replay reconstructs this constitutional graph without altering artifact identity.

2.9. Constitutional Replay Contracts

Every replay execution shall operate under an explicit constitutional contract.

Replay Contracts define:

accepted constitutional artifacts;
expected constitutional outputs;
replay preconditions;
replay guarantees;
invariant requirements;
telemetry requirements;
verification requirements.

Replay Contracts ensure consistent constitutional behaviour across implementations.

2.10. Replay Identity

Replay preserves constitutional identity throughout execution.

Replay references include, where applicable:

CSI;
USO ID;
VRID;
TG-VRES;
VEVID;
TOID;
TVID;
TAID;
TIID;
MEID;
EID;
DAL reference.

Replay shall never generate replacement identifiers.

2.11. Constitutional Replay State

Replay itself follows a governed lifecycle.

Illustrative states include:

Prepared
    │
    ▼
Validated
    │
    ▼
Executing
    │
    ▼
Verified
    │
    ▼
Completed
    │
    ▼
Archived

Lifecycle governance is defined by the Canonical Artifact Lifecycle Model (CALM).

2.12. Relationship to Constitutional Frameworks

The Canonical Replay Model integrates with the following constitutional frameworks.

Framework	Constitutional Contribution
CIA	Immutable identity and provenance
CEP	Execution sequencing
CALM	Replay lifecycle governance
CPA	Replay persistence
Validation Rule Registry	Rule reconstruction
Trust Model	Trust recomputation
TrustGate Attestation Catalog	Attestation verification
CIR	Canonical identifier resolution
TG-INTEL	Replay of constitutional intelligence inputs
DAL	Cryptographic integrity verification

Replay depends upon these frameworks but does not redefine them.

2.13. Constitutional Constraints

The Canonical Replay Model shall satisfy the following requirements.

Every Replay Package shall be immutable.
Every Replay Manifest shall uniquely identify its governed replay.
Replay shall preserve constitutional identity.
Replay shall preserve provenance.
Replay shall preserve constitutional lineage.
Replay shall remain deterministic.
Replay shall remain explainable.
Replay shall remain independently verifiable.

These constraints are normative.

2.14. Summary

The Canonical Replay Model defines the constitutional objects and relationships that enable deterministic reconstruction of TrustGate executions.

By introducing immutable Replay Packages, governed Replay Manifests, explicit Replay Contexts, synchronization checkpoints, and constitutional replay contracts, the model provides a complete, technology-independent foundation for replay across validation, trust, attestation, federation, intelligence, and cryptographic assurance. Together with CIA, CALM, CPA, the Validation Rule Registry, Trust Model, Attestation Catalog, CIR, TG-INTEL, and DAL, it establishes replay as a first-class constitutional capability of the ZAYAZ platform.

Part 3 — Constitutional Replay Pipeline

3.1. Purpose

The Constitutional Replay Pipeline (CRP) defines the deterministic sequence of operations required to reconstruct a constitutional TrustGate execution.

The pipeline governs:

replay ordering;

Together with the Canonical Execution Pipeline (CEP), the Constitutional Replay Pipeline establishes replay as a first-class constitutional execution capability.

Part 4 — Validation Replay

4.1. Purpose

Validation Replay defines the constitutional mechanisms for reconstructing and verifying historical validation executions.

Rather than executing the current validation environment, Validation Replay reconstructs the exact constitutional validation context under which a decision was originally produced.

This guarantees deterministic assurance across organizations, implementations, and time.

Validation Replay is normative.

4.2. Constitutional Principles

Replay reconstructs every constitutional binding used during validation.

Bindings include:

CSI references;

4.7. Validation Evidence Replay

Validation Replay reconstructs every supporting evidence artifact.

Representative evidence includes:

VEVIDs;
source observations;
canonical signals;
derived signals;
computation outputs;
external references;
supporting attestations.

Evidence shall remain immutable.

Replay shall never generate synthetic evidence.

4.8. TG-VRES Verification

Replay verifies every replayed validation result against its original TG-VRES.

Verification includes:

validation outcome;
rule execution chronology;
severity;
confidence;
supporting evidence;
validation metadata;
policy references.

Replay confirms constitutional equivalence rather than binary equality.

4.9. Rule Version Governance

Replay preserves historical rule governance.

Every replay shall identify:

Constitutional Element	Requirement
VRID	Original rule identity
Rule Version	Original governed version
Lifecycle State	Historical CALM state
Publication Date	Original publication
Retirement Status	Historical status
Dependencies	Referenced rules
Policy Version	Applicable constitutional policy

Historical rule versions remain replayable even after retirement.

4.10. Validation Lifecycle Replay

Replay reconstructs the historical lifecycle of every validation artifact.

Illustrative lifecycle:

Rule Published
        │
        ▼
Rule Activated
        │
        ▼
Rule Executed
        │
        ▼
Evidence Produced
        │
        ▼
TG-VRES Published
        │
        ▼
Replay Verified

Lifecycle governance is defined by CALM.

4.11. Validation Replay Outcomes

Validation Replay may produce one of the following constitutional outcomes.

Outcome	Meaning
Verified	Validation reproduced constitutionally
Equivalent	Constitutionally equivalent outcome confirmed
Divergent	Constitutional discrepancy detected
Incomplete	Required artifacts unavailable
Invalid	Replay contract violated

Replay outcomes shall themselves be immutable constitutional artifacts.

4.12. Replay Telemetry

Validation Replay emits constitutional telemetry throughout execution.

Representative telemetry includes:

Replay Identifier;
VRID;
TG-VRES;
VEVID;
validation stage;
execution chronology;
MEID;
XPID;
replay duration;
verification outcome.

Replay telemetry forms part of constitutional provenance.

4.13. Relationship to Constitutional Frameworks

Validation Replay integrates with:

Framework	Contribution
Validation Rule Registry	Rule resolution
CIA	Immutable identifiers
CEP	Original execution order
CALM	Validation lifecycle
CPA	Validation persistence
CIR	Canonical identifier resolution
Trust Model	Trust dependencies
Replay Model	Replay orchestration

Validation Replay complements these frameworks without redefining them.

4.14. Constitutional Constraints

Validation Replay shall satisfy the following requirements.

Every replay shall reference governed VRIDs.
Every replay shall preserve VEVID lineage.
Every replay shall preserve TG-VRES identity.
Replay shall preserve rule version history.
Replay shall preserve validation chronology.
Replay shall remain deterministic.
Replay shall remain independently explainable.
Replay shall never substitute constitutional evidence.

These constraints are normative.

4.15. Constitutional Invariants

Validation Replay preserves the following invariant families.

Invariant Family	Constitutional Requirement
IF-100	Identity preserved
IF-200	Lineage preserved
IF-300	Execution ordering preserved
IF-400	Validation behaviour preserved
IF-500	Trust dependencies preserved
IF-600	Replay determinism preserved

Violation of these invariants constitutes a constitutional replay failure.

4.16. Replay Profiles

Every replayable constitutional output shall declare a Replay Profile defining how replay equivalence is evaluated.

Replay execution shall use exactly one of the following canonical replay modes:

Mode	Constitutional Meaning	Pass Criterion
`EXACT`	The output is deterministically recomputed.	The replayed output is bit-identical to the original output.
`BANDED`	The output is recomputed using pinned probabilistic or AI dependencies.	The replayed output falls within the governed tolerance band ε.
`RECORDED`	The original output is treated as the authoritative replay artifact.	Replay verifies integrity, identity, lineage, and anchoring rather than recomputing the output.

The authoritative definitions, engine assignments, manifest fields, tolerance governance, and replay-drift semantics are defined by the TrustGate Replay Profiles Specification (TG-RP).

Every engine specification shall declare a replay_profile frontmatter block. Every declared output CSI shall either:

appear explicitly in replay_profile.outputs; or
inherit the declared replay_profile.default.

Replay modes apply to outputs rather than engines as indivisible units. A single engine may therefore publish outputs governed by different replay modes.

For example, TrustGate scoring uses:

EXACT for deterministic trust dimensions and arithmetic aggregation;
BANDED for the AI-assisted analytical-confidence dimension;
RECORDED where the original external or human-generated output cannot be constitutionally recomputed.

BANDED replay shall pin all decision-material model dependencies in the Replay Manifest, including the model identifier, model version, prompt hash, inference parameters, and applicable tolerance policy.

A BANDED replay result outside its governed tolerance shall emit REPLAY-DRIFT and follow the escalation semantics defined by TG-RP.

4.17. Future Evolution

Future constitutional capabilities may extend Validation Replay through:

governed Replay Profile selection through Execution Profiles (XPID), provided that the selected profile is resolved before execution, recorded in the Replay Manifest, and remains immutable for that execution;
replay optimization;
distributed replay execution;
AI-assisted replay diagnostics;
federated replay verification;
Constitutional Replay Architecture (CRA).

Note: Execution Profiles may select among approved Replay Profiles, but shall not dynamically alter replay mode, tolerance, or equivalence semantics after execution begins.

Any future adaptive selection mechanism shall operate only before execution and shall resolve to a versioned, governed Replay Profile defined by TG-RP.

Future extensions shall preserve constitutional semantics.

4.18. Summary

Validation Replay defines the constitutional mechanisms for reconstructing historical validation executions with deterministic fidelity.

By replaying the original Validation Rule Registry, governed VRIDs, immutable VEVID evidence, TG-VRES artifacts, policy versions, and lifecycle state under the Canonical Identity Architecture (CIA), Canonical Artifact Lifecycle Model (CALM), Canonical Persistence Architecture (CPA), and Canonical Identifier Registry (CIR), Validation Replay guarantees that historical validation decisions remain independently verifiable, explainable, and constitutionally reproducible throughout the lifetime of the TrustGate platform.

Part 5 — Trust Replay

5.1. Purpose

Trust Replay defines the constitutional mechanisms for reconstructing and verifying historical trust computations within the TrustGate platform.

Where Validation Replay reproduces validation outcomes, Trust Replay reproduces the constitutional assessment of trust derived from those outcomes.

Trust Replay guarantees that constitutional trust decisions remain reproducible, explainable, and independently verifiable throughout the lifetime of the platform.

This specification is normative.

5.2. Constitutional Principles

Trust Replay shall satisfy the following constitutional principles.

5.17. Summary

Trust Replay defines the constitutional mechanisms for reconstructing historical trust assessments with deterministic fidelity.

By replaying the original Trust Model, immutable Trust Objects (TOIDs), Trust Vectors (TVIDs), validation dependencies, constitutional evidence, and policy versions under the Canonical Identity Architecture (CIA), Canonical Artifact Lifecycle Model (CALM), Canonical Persistence Architecture (CPA), and Canonical Identifier Registry (CIR), Trust Replay guarantees that constitutional trust decisions remain independently verifiable, explainable, and reproducible throughout the lifetime of the TrustGate platform.

Part 6 — Attestation Replay

6.1. Purpose

Attestation Replay defines the constitutional mechanisms for reconstructing and verifying historical TrustGate Attestations (TG-ATTEST).

Rather than issuing new attestations, Replay verifies that a published attestation remains constitutionally valid by reconstructing the complete assurance chain upon which it was originally based.

Attestation Replay guarantees long-term assurance verification across organizations, federations, and technology platforms.

This specification is normative.

6.2. Constitutional Principles

Attestation Replay shall satisfy the following constitutional principles.

Attestation Fidelity

Replay shall verify the exact constitutional attestation originally issued.

Cryptographic Integrity

Replay shall preserve cryptographic authenticity.

Constitutional Identity

Replay shall preserve immutable attestation identity.

Assurance Preservation

Replay shall reconstruct the complete constitutional assurance chain.

Explainability

Every replayed attestation shall remain independently explainable.

6.3. Constitutional Attestation Replay Model

Attestation Replay reconstructs constitutional assurance from immutable constitutional artifacts.

The Attestation Context remains immutable throughout replay.

6.5. TG-ATTEST Resolution

Replay resolves the original TrustGate Attestation.

Resolution includes:

TAID;
attestation version;
attestation lifecycle state;
issuer;
issuance timestamp;
referenced constitutional artifacts;
replay references;
federation references.

Replay shall resolve the exact attestation originally published.

6.6. Constitutional Assurance Chain

Replay reconstructs the constitutional assurance chain supporting the attestation.

TIIDs;
DAL references.

Replay shall never allocate replacement identifiers.

6.9. Attestation Lifecycle Replay

Replay reconstructs the historical lifecycle of the attestation.

Illustrative lifecycle:

Attestation Prepared
        │
        ▼
Signed
        │
        ▼
Published
        │
        ▼
Federated
