# CPCF v0.6

Purpose: evidence-bound analysis and control of finite collective workflows.
Distribution: collective-phase-control-fabric
Development: uv sync --frozen --all-extras --group dev --group security
CLI: cpcf
First offline commands: cpcf agent explain --json; cpcf self-check --json; cpcf schema list --json
First remote command: cpcf agent onboard --workspace WORKSPACE --json

Critical semantics:
- unknown and unknown_due_to_budget are never favorable;
- v0.6 kinds are closed and map one-to-one to runtime models and schema digests;
- DSSE envelope key IDs are hints; protected payload identity and pinned keys establish authority;
- key validity is evaluated at trusted signing time with explicit revocation semantics;
- initial resources, supplies, food, verifier capacity, and independence come from typed live attestations;
- witnesses bind one immutable analysis basis and cannot compose across snapshots;
- perturbations construct reduced snapshots and rerun the shared kernel;
- every action outcome preserves protected constraints; optional output receives no progress credit;
- the API and analysis worker never execute adapters;
- external runner receipts do not prove isolation without independent attestation;
- trial bindings are validated, but causality and statistical methods are not certified;
- v0.1-v0.5 authority is quarantined and inspection-only;
- CPCF does not create, detect, or certify collective superintelligence or a physical phase.

Offline growth: cpcf growth inspect/plan/check-plan/compare/export/replay/ingest/reassess/replan.
Synthetic input: cpcf growth example growth-demo --json.
Growth guide: docs/growth-planning.md; theory mapping: docs/growth-research-mapping.md.
Package 0.7.0 frontier: docs/endogenous-capability-frontier.md; protocol remains cpcf.io/v0.6.
Synthetic chain: cpcf growth example --scenario frontier-chain --json.
Pass --frontier consistently to growth workflows. Latent/model-enabled/receipt-backed/admitted/authorized are distinct.
No empirical acceleration experiment; no real-world capability reproduction, AGI, ASI or indefinite-growth claim.
Growth is an explicit finite model mode; predictions never update observed capacity or the profile.
