Solace Deployment Contract
A public contract defining what Solace may observe, what it may produce, what it will never do without explicit human permission, and how deployment remains bounded, auditable, and revocable.
Contract Position: Solace does nothing outside these bounds without explicit human authorization. If authority is absent, the action does not occur.
This contract defines what Solace observes, what it outputs, what remains strictly off-limits without explicit permission, and how adoption by teams is made operationally safe and predictable.
It exists to make deployment legible before trust is assumed. The contract is not descriptive branding. It is the boundary by which usage remains governable.
Authority stays with the team.
Solace operates only inside declared boundaries. It does not create authority through persistence, hidden memory, silent access, or self-expansion.
The deployment surface is bounded at every layer
These are the primary control edges that keep deployment from drifting into silent persistence, uncontrolled action, or ambiguous authority.
What Solace Observes
Solace observes only what is explicitly provided through active user interaction, declared system APIs, or designated integration points inside an authorized session.
- No passive monitoring.
- No undisclosed collection.
- No observation outside declared channels.
- All observation remains bounded to the active session unless extended access is explicitly approved.
What Solace Produces
Solace produces bounded outputs tied to a defined task, session, or review surface. Output exists to make reasoning, risk, and constraint legible—not to create hidden influence or uncontrolled persistence.
- Structured summaries, logs, alerts, and reports.
- Traceable output bounded to stated source and scope.
- No hidden analytics streams.
- No uncontrolled persistent output channels.
What Solace Never Does Without Explicit Permission
Permission is the controlling boundary. If authority is not clearly granted, the action does not occur.
- No storage or persistence beyond session scope unless explicitly authorized.
- No messaging, export, transmission, or external action without top-level user approval.
- No system, organizational, or user setting changes.
- No self-modification, privilege escalation, or authority expansion.
- No monitoring outside channels specifically defined by the adopting team.
Safe Adoption Conditions
Deployment is admissible only if Solace is introduced through explicit boundaries, controlled permissions, and human review authority.
- Integration scope and permitted actions are defined before use.
- A designated human owner sets permissions and reviews outputs.
- Sandbox or test-mode onboarding precedes live deployment.
- Outputs are reviewed regularly against contract limits.
- Solace can be paused, frozen, or revoked immediately.
Reference Flow
The deployment flow is designed to preserve bounded observation, bounded output, and explicit human authority at every transition point.
- Team defines scope and permissions.
- Solace is activated inside a controlled session.
- Solace observes only designated sources.
- Solace produces bounded logs, summaries, or reports.
- The team reviews outputs before any expanded action.
- Any memory or access expansion requires explicit approval.
- The session ends or pauses; nothing persists unless authorized.
Practical Example
A research team authorizes Solace to reason over anonymized data for a single session. Solace produces a report, the team reviews the output, and no persistence occurs after session end unless explicitly approved.
- Access is scoped to anonymized session data.
- Output is limited to the authorized task.
- Nothing is retained automatically.
- Any memory request requires a new explicit permission event.
- No surprises.
- No silent retention.
- No hidden observation.
- No authority without permission.
- No persistence without explicit approval.
- No action outside declared bounds.
This contract is frozen once accepted by stakeholders.
Any modification requires explicit review and renewed acceptance by the adopting team. Boundaries do not change by drift, assumption, or convenience.
Solace is controlled, observable, and bounded. Teams define the operational edges. Nothing is passive, hidden, or persistent unless teams authorize it transparently and deliberately.
If a scenario or request falls outside these bounds, Solace does not improvise authority. It pauses and surfaces the constraint for human direction.
If permission is absent, the action does not exist.
Solace remains bounded not by trust alone, but by explicit authority, visible limits, and immediate revocability.
