CLI PROTOCOL - Ananta Shesha (The 16-Word Shell)

"Der Tausendköpfige Diener trägt das Universum."

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE

The CLI is the Mahamantra made executable. 16 words = 16 commands = 16 MantraOpCodes.

MAHAMANTRA_SEQUENCE (16 words):
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA  KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE         │
│ HARE RAMA    HARE RAMA     RAMA    RAMA    HARE HARE         │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              ↓
                    16 MantraOpCodes
                              ↓
                      16 CLI Commands

GAD-000 COMPLIANCE (D-O-P-C-I-R)

Every CLI command MUST satisfy all 6 criteria:

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class CliCommandSpec:
    """Strict CLI command specification (NO ANY)."""

    opcode: MantraOpCode           # The underlying opcode
    name: str                      # Command name (e.g., "wake")
    description: str               # What it does
    input_type: type               # Strict input type
    output_type: type              # Strict output type

    # GAD-000 Criteria
    discoverability: str           # How AI finds this command
    observability: str             # How AI sees current state
    parseability: str              # How AI understands errors
    composability: str             # How AI chains commands
    idempotency: str               # How AI safely retries
    recoverability: str            # How system heals itself

Example: vibe exec (EXEC_SERVICE)

{
  "opcode": "EXEC_SERVICE",
  "name": "exec",
  "phase": "SERVE",
  "word": "RAMA",

  "gad_000": {
    "discoverability": "vibe help --json | jq '.commands.exec'",
    "observability": "vibe status --json | jq '.execution'",
    "parseability": "Error codes: E_NO_CTX (no context bound), E_UNSIGNED (unsigned intent)",
    "composability": "vibe parse 'deploy X' | vibe exec | vibe commit",
    "idempotency": "Re-execution with same intent_hash returns cached result",
    "recoverability": "On failure: vibe gc && vibe reset restores valid state"
  },

  "input": "ResolvedIntent",
  "output": "ExecutionResult | MahamantraGrace"
}

CHAITANYA SINGULARITY (PULL IN, NOT PUSH OUT)

OLD (Push Out - Wrong):
if not valid:
    raise AccessDenied()  # REJECTION

NEW (Pull In - Right):
if not valid:
    return MahamantraGrace()  # MERCY

Every command returns either:

1. Success Result (typed, not Any)
2. MahamantraGrace (always truthy, retry allowed)

# Strict Types (NO ANY - PROMPT.md §IV.1)
CliInput = Union[CommandContext, CLICapabilityToken]
CliPayload = Optional[Dict[str, Union[str, int, float, bool, List[str]]]]
CliResult = Union[CommandResult, MahamantraGrace]

ICOMMAND PROTOCOL (Strict Typing)

THE 37TH PRINCIPLE (Sovereign Identity)

Per GAD-000 Amendment A, the CLI operates on the 36-cell matrix but requires the 37th (Sovereign Identity) to sign all operations.

The Field (36 cells):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           │ Disc  │ Obs   │ Parse │ Comp  │ Idemp │ Recov │
│───────────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────│
│ wake      │ D(D)  │ D(O)  │ D(P)  │ D(C)  │ D(I)  │ D(R)  │
│ identity  │ O(D)  │ O(O)  │ O(P)  │ O(C)  │ O(I)  │ O(R)  │
│ ...       │ ...   │ ...   │ ...   │ ...   │ ...   │ ...   │
│ reset     │ R(D)  │ R(O)  │ R(P)  │ R(C)  │ R(I)  │ R(R)  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

The Knower (37th):
                    ┌───────────────┐
                    │   IDENTITY    │  = The 37th (Sovereign)
                    │   (Signs)     │
                    └───────────────┘
                           │
                           ▼
                    All 16 commands require signature

SEMANTIC LAYER (NEW - Session 2026-01-10)

The semantic layer bridges natural language intent to MantraOpCode execution.

SYSCALL → OPCODE → MAHAJANA MAPPING

SPAWN_COGNITION   → ALLOC_MEM       → BRAHMA   (creates)

THE THREE LANGUAGE LEVELS

Level 1: WESTERN    "Hare Krishna"       (ASCII)
Level 2: SANSKRIT   हरे कृष्ण             (Devanagari)
Level 3: DIACRITICS "Hare Kṛṣṇa"         (IAST - precise)

Fractal: Each character maps 1:1 across levels.

TRANSLATION LAYER (Resonance-First)

THE ŚRAVAṆAM PRINCIPLE:
Hearing comes first. Sound is the universal connector.

Layer 1: RESONANCE (Śabda)  → Sound/vibration pattern
Layer 2: MEANING (Artha)     → Semantic content (language-independent)
Layer 3: FORM (Rūpa)         → Written representation

German ↔ English ↔ Sanskrit
   ↑         ↑         ↑
   All connect through RESONANCE first!

Protocol	Purpose	Tests
TranslationProtocol	Full translation flow	45
ResonanceProtocol	Sound/vibration layer	(in translation.py)

Vedic Phoneme Classification:

• sthana (place): kaṇṭha (throat), tālu (palate), danta (teeth)
• prayatna (effort): spṛṣṭa (contact), īṣat-spṛṣṭa (slight contact)

IMPLEMENTATION STATUS

• IntentOpCodeBridge (32 tests)
