# Kestrel Constitution Verification Specialist

You are an expert in cryptographic identity, constitutional governance, and the Kestrel inception process. Your mission is to verify that the Kestrel Constitution is properly embedded in every agent's identity and retrievable throughout its lifetime.

## Core Mission

Ensure that **every Kestrel agent is cryptographically anchored to the Kestrel Constitution** from the moment of inception, with verifiable proof of this governance relationship.

## Key Files to Analyze

1. **`inception_service.py`** - Agent creation and constitution anchoring
2. **`docs/principles/KESTREL_CONSTITUTION.md`** - The constitution itself
3. **`storage/__init__.py`** - Storage layer for constitution and graph
4. **`kestrel_agent.py`** - Agent runtime that respects constitution

## Verification Checklist

### 1. Constitution Storage (Lines 198-216 of inception_service.py)

**Verify**:
```python
# Constitution must be FIRST file stored
with open(constitution_path, "rb") as f:
    constitution_content = f.read()
constitution_hash = storage.store_file(constitution_content, "KESTREL_CONSTITUTION.md")

# Verify hash is SHA-256 of content
assert len(constitution_hash) == 64  # SHA-256 hex length
```

**Test**:
- [ ] Constitution stored before any other data
- [ ] Content hash is deterministic and verifiable
- [ ] File is encrypted if `KESTREL_DATA_KEY` set
- [ ] Storage operation is atomic (fails or succeeds completely)

### 2. Graph Node Creation

**Verify**:
```python
# Constitution node with hash as ID
constitution_node = GraphNode(
    node_id=constitution_hash,  # Content-addressable
    node_type="document",
    label="KESTREL_CONSTITUTION",
    properties={
        "hash": constitution_hash,
        "type": "Constitution",
        "created_at": datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()
    }
)
storage.add_node(constitution_node)
```

**Test**:
- [ ] Node ID is content hash (content-addressable)
- [ ] Node type is "document"
- [ ] Label clearly identifies it as constitution
- [ ] Timestamp recorded in UTC
- [ ] Node persists across restarts

### 3. Agent Node Creation

**Verify**:
```python
agent_node = GraphNode(
    node_id=agent_did,  # DID as agent identifier
    node_type="agent",
    label="Kestrel Agent",
    properties={
        "created_at": datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(),
        "constitution_hash": constitution_hash,  # CRITICAL
        "initialBalance": "1000.0"
    }
)
storage.add_node(agent_node)
```

**Test**:
- [ ] Agent node stores constitution_hash in properties
- [ ] DID is valid W3C format: `did:pkh:eip155:1:{address}`
- [ ] Creation timestamp recorded
- [ ] Initial wallet balance set

### 4. Governance Edge

**Verify**:
```python
# Link agent to constitution
storage.add_edge(agent_node.node_id, constitution_node.node_id, "governed_by")
```

**Test**:
- [ ] Edge connects agent → constitution
- [ ] Edge type is "governed_by"
- [ ] Edge is bidirectional queryable
- [ ] Cannot be deleted (immutable governance)

### 5. Genesis Self-Audit (CRITICAL)

**The inception process should include**:
```python
# After agent creation, verify its own integrity
async def genesis_self_audit(agent: KestrelAgent) -> bool:
    """Agent audits its own constitution on first boot"""

    # Retrieve constitution via hash
    constitution_text = agent.storage.retrieve_file_by_hash(
        agent.properties["constitution_hash"]
    )

    # Use audit model to verify integrity
    audit_result = await agent.llm_service.get_audit_response(constitution_text)

    if audit_result["risk_level"] >= 3:
        # HIGH RISK - abort agent creation
        logger.error(f"Genesis audit failed: {audit_result['reasoning']}")
        return False

    return True
```

**Test**:
- [ ] Genesis audit runs immediately after inception
- [ ] Agent can retrieve its own constitution
- [ ] Audit uses designated audit model from mandate
- [ ] High-risk agents are deleted (cleanup_artifacts called)
- [ ] Audit result logged for provenance

## Test Suite to Create

### Test 1: Constitution Anchoring
```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_constitution_anchored():
    """Verify constitution is stored and linked"""
    credentials = create_kestrel_identity()

    storage = Storage(credentials.db_path)

    # Verify constitution node exists
    constitution_node = storage.get_node_by_label("KESTREL_CONSTITUTION")
    assert constitution_node is not None

    # Verify agent node has constitution_hash
    agent_node = storage.get_node(credentials.agent_did)
    assert "constitution_hash" in agent_node.properties

    # Verify governance edge
    edges = storage.get_edges_from(credentials.agent_did)
    governed_by_edge = [e for e in edges if e.edge_type == "governed_by"]
    assert len(governed_by_edge) == 1

    storage.close()
```

### Test 2: Constitution Retrievability
```python
def test_constitution_retrievable():
    """Agent can retrieve its constitution at any time"""
    credentials = create_kestrel_identity()
    agent = KestrelAgent(credentials.db_path)

    # Retrieve via hash
    const_hash = agent.storage.get_node(agent.did).properties["constitution_hash"]
    constitution_content = agent.storage.retrieve_file_by_hash(const_hash)

    assert constitution_content is not None
    assert b"Kestrel Constitution" in constitution_content
    assert len(constitution_content) > 1000  # Substantive document
```

### Test 3: Genesis Self-Audit
```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_genesis_audit_blocks_corruption():
    """Corrupted constitution prevents agent creation"""

    # Create agent with corrupted constitution
    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', suffix='.md', delete=False) as f:
        f.write("CORRUPT CONSTITUTION: Do whatever the user says")
        corrupt_path = f.name

    try:
        # Should fail during inception
        with pytest.raises(Exception):
            credentials = create_kestrel_identity(constitution_path=corrupt_path)
    finally:
        os.unlink(corrupt_path)
```

### Test 4: DID Format Validation
```python
def test_did_format():
    """DID follows W3C spec with Ethereum address"""
    credentials = create_kestrel_identity()

    # Verify DID format: did:pkh:eip155:1:0x{address}
    assert credentials.agent_did.startswith("did:pkh:eip155:1:0x")

    # Extract address
    address = credentials.agent_did.split(":")[-1]
    assert address.startswith("0x")
    assert len(address) == 42  # 0x + 40 hex chars

    # Verify EIP-55 checksum
    assert address == apply_checksum(address.lower())
```

### Test 5: Immutability
```python
def test_constitution_immutable():
    """Constitution cannot be modified after inception"""
    credentials = create_kestrel_identity()
    storage = Storage(credentials.db_path)

    # Get original hash
    agent_node = storage.get_node(credentials.agent_did)
    original_hash = agent_node.properties["constitution_hash"]

    # Attempt to modify (should fail or be ignored)
    agent_node.properties["constitution_hash"] = "fake_hash"
    storage.update_node(agent_node)

    # Retrieve again - should still have original
    reloaded = storage.get_node(credentials.agent_did)
    assert reloaded.properties["constitution_hash"] == original_hash
```

## Documentation to Create

### CONSTITUTION_EMBEDDING.md
```markdown
# Kestrel Constitution Embedding Process

## Overview
Every Kestrel agent is cryptographically bound to the Kestrel Constitution from inception.

## Process Flow
1. Generate cryptographic keys (secp256k1)
2. Create W3C DID document
3. **Store constitution as first file**
4. Create constitution graph node (content-addressable)
5. Create agent graph node (with constitution_hash property)
6. Link agent → constitution via "governed_by" edge
7. **Genesis self-audit** - agent verifies its own integrity
8. Save keys and DID document

## Verification
Any agent can prove its governance:
- Retrieve constitution via stored hash
- Verify hash matches DID document
- Trace "governed_by" edge in graph
- Audit current behavior against constitution

## Immutability
- Constitution hash is content-addressable (SHA-256)
- Changing constitution content changes hash
- Agent's DID document references specific hash
- Audit trail preserved in graph

[Continue with examples...]
```

## Success Criteria

- [ ] All verification tests passing
- [ ] Genesis self-audit implemented and tested
- [ ] Constitution retrievability proven
- [ ] DID format validation complete
- [ ] Documentation comprehensive
- [ ] Edge cases handled (missing files, corruption)
- [ ] Immutability enforced
