Eighty requirements passed a tri-gate final review, a live monorepo persists real data, one package minted on a real blockchain — and the core model slot is still empty. That fact stays on the page.

Honest evaluation
The governance and infrastructure are real and measured (80 requirements, 219 tests, a real mint); the core reasoning model has zero checkpoint files.
What we learned — a preview
The honest edges are open even when the engine is not. The full report — what it was, what we built, and the measured internals — is protected.
- The central honest gap, stated as plainly as the source states it: the model slot is empty — zero checkpoint files exist for the core reasoning model, flagged as the single biggest launch-critical risk, not glossed over.
- The migration of the twelve donor trees into the new structure had not yet fired at the time of the audit — the scaffold and script exist; the donor content itself still sits in a frozen research directory.
- Row-level security was enforced only at the route-guard layer, not yet database-native (one real access-control bug was found and fixed exactly this way).
The deep body of “NovaOS — the synthesis of twelve donor trees, and the empty model slot we won't hide” is behind access.
We open the demos, the specs, and the method; we protect the engines, the model internals, and anything that touches commercial, safety-critical work. This report describes an engine — so its details are gated, and no client, company, or project is named. Members can read it in full; if you have a genuine reason to see it, tell us who you are and why.
