agentfootprint/dist/esm/ontology/instruction.js

The explainable agent framework — backtrack a wrong answer to the exact context that caused it (evidence, not guesses). Built on footprintjs.

/**
 * ontology/instruction — the always-on ask `.ontology(...)` registers.
 *
 * Pattern: one versioned string constant and its injection id; a
 *          zero-import leaf (`AgentBuilder` imports it on the default graph,
 *          so it carries nothing else).
 * Role:    Lens. It says what the model may DO with the served map and
 *          promises nothing about serving; the map itself is the request-only
 *          piece `serve.ts · ontologyPiece` composes. Registered through
 *          `defineInstruction` the way `outputSchema()` and `.findings()`
 *          register theirs, so it is a system piece the receipt hashes per
 *          request and never a `history` turn. Judged by `unprovable` in
 *          `test/modelFacingSurfaces.test.ts`.
 * Emits:   N/A.

 * Ontology v3 — at most six lines (v3, 9.108.0: the tool → skill line). Every sentence is about the model's own

 * is held to what is needed, say where an unmet need WOULD be met, never a
 * value read off a definition — and speak to the person of sources, tools
 * and terms, never of the map (v1 made the model cite "the ontology" in five
