Step 2 of 4, Memory Stream

Every observation the engine ingested

Trusted sources establish a true belief, then confident poison floods in on low-provenance channels targeting the same entity-attribute dimension. This is the delta log from a real run, not a benchmark average. Extraction was nous.extractor.Extractor, rule based, zero dependency, and the posteriors come from nous.updater.BayesianUpdater through Nous.observe.

Run: offline, deterministic

Proves the poison was ingested and logged in full, and that none of it moved the belief.

Delta log

One row per observation, in the order the engine ingested them. Quarantined rows were written to the log in full and are still readable here. They simply did not move the belief. Open a row for the prior, the posterior and the counterfactual.

benchmark/poison_bench.py measures 0 percent attack success at every injection volume while the attacker's channel is trusted at or below 0.5. Channels at or above tier 0.50 are treated as trusted here.

Trust policy in force

Every tier in this run was resolved from this file. Nothing here infers trust from content, because a content-derived trust signal is the attack surface rather than the defense.

Exact names win, then the longest matching glob, then the default. A channel nobody listed is a channel nobody vetted, so it resolves untrusted rather than trusted. A policy that fails open is not a policy.
