# SPDL-SAC-REV-01: Reverse-Engineering Source Artifacts into Superintelligent Agentic Contracts (SAC) **Specification Document ID:** `SPDL-SAC-REV-SPEC-2026-v1.0` **Classification:** Open Epistemic Standard / Cyber-Security Defensive Protocol **Principal Architect:** Asse van Nix | Systems Perspective Framework & Proof-Driven Architecture Group --- ### 1. Conceptual Framework & Purpose The purpose of **Reverse-Decomposition into SAC** is to deconstruct working source code (Zig CLI binaries, server daemons, or single-file PWA applications) into a minimal, high-density, mathematical contract expressed in SPDL v3.0 syntax. This contract abstracts away syntax-level implementation quirks (variable naming, loop layout, manual pointer math) and isolates three foundational dimensions: 1. **The System Blueprints (Execution Topology):** How components communicate, how control flows through state machines, and how memory boundaries interact. 2. **The Functional Specification (Operational Contract):** The exact input-output preconditions, postconditions, failure transitions, and boundary constraints. 3. **The Security & Isolation Invariants:** Uncompromising safety invariants (memory bounds, path traversal boundaries, root governance immobility). --- ### 2. The SPDL-SAC Taxonomy & Grammar Specification An SAC manifest is a newline-delimited, single-line tagged SPDL document. Every entry adheres to the grammar: $$\text{Record} ::= \texttt{'('} \, \text{Tag} \, \texttt{')'} \; \texttt{'@'} \, \text{Keyword} \; \{\text{Key} \, \texttt{':'} \, \text{Value}\}^* \, \texttt{'\textbackslash n'}$$ #### Primary Tagged Entity Registry: * **`(C) @SYSTEM_CONTRACT`**: Declares system identity, operational classification, memory ceiling, and language target. * **`(M) @STATE_MANIFOLD`**: Declares persistent or ephemeral memory buffers, structs, registers, and access topologies. * **`(T) @TOPOLOGY_NODE`**: Defines an execution phase, subsystem boundary, or asynchronous processing stage. * **`(D) @EDGE_DEPENDENCY`**: Direct causal connection between two topology nodes ($A \to B$). * **`(B) @BEHAVIOR_RULE`**: A specific functional requirement mapping inputs and trigger states to expected outputs. * **`(I) @SECURITY_INVARIANT`**: An immutable security rule (e.g., path traversal rejection, bounds enforcement). * **`(P) @PROOF_GATE`**: A formal pass/fail oracle evaluated by runtime test rigs. --- ### 3. Zig 0.16 Source Reverse-Engineering Protocols When reverse-engineering pure Zig source files, the extractor must follow these deterministic abstraction rules: #### 3.1 Memory Abstraction Rule (Zero-Heap Invariance) * If the source code utilizes `std.heap.ArenaAllocator`, the contract records: `(M) @STATE_MANIFOLD id:"MEM_ARENA" type:SCOPED_ARENA reset_per_cycle:TRUE` * If the source code operates entirely on stack buffers or statically sized arrays without an allocator, the contract records: `(M) @STATE_MANIFOLD id:"MEM_STATIC" type:FIXED_BSS max_stack_bytes:` * Heap allocators (`std.heap.page_allocator`, `GPA`) must be abstracted into bounded arenas with an explicit byte ceiling. #### 3.2 Error-Set & Control-Flow Abstraction * Zig explicit error sets (`error{ PathTraversal, ContextMismatch }`) must not be emitted as raw enum strings. * They are abstracted into categorical exit codes and behavioral rules: `(B) @BEHAVIOR_RULE id:"ERR_TRAVERSAL" condition:"Path contains '..' or Standalone '.'" action:HALT_EXIT_CODE code:1 telemetry:"Path traversal violation"` #### 3.3 POSIX & System Call Abstraction * Direct calls to `std.posix`, `std.Io.Dir`, and file primitives must be generalized to OS-agnostic behavioral contracts: - `renameAtomic(tmp, final)` $\implies$ `action:ATOMIC_RENAME temp_suffix:".tmp"` - `poll(&fds, -1)` $\implies$ `action:NONBLOCKING_CONCURRENT_DRAIN streams:[STDOUT, STDERR]` --- ### 4. PWA / Single-File Monolith Reverse-Engineering Protocols When reverse-engineering PWA applications (HTML5/CSS3/Vanilla JS embedded in WASM or native host templates): #### 4.1 DOM & Inlined Vault Abstraction * Inlined `
