Collapse-Aware AI (CAAI): Gold Build Operational Architecture, Controlled Core Integration Protocol, and Phase-2 Probabilistic Mediation Framework (v2.0)

Version v2.0 formalises the operational architecture of Collapse-Aware AI (CAAI) following completion of the Ψμν resonance-bias mathematical closure (v1.1c). This edition transitions from theoretical formalism to deployable middleware structure. This release documents: • The Phase-1 Gold Build scaffold architecture (contract-stable middleware layer)• The sealed Crown production core replacement model• The thin-adapter controlled integration doctrine (Day-0 → Day-2 verification gates)• Deterministic rollback and reversible change requirements• The Phase-2 probabilistic mediation framework, including Connectivity Topology Layer (CTL), Bayesian posterior collapse weighting, and Dual Reference Frame bias gating The scaffold contains no proprietary intelligence logic and functions as contract-stable plumbing. The Crown production core remains sealed and is integrated exclusively via endpoint-preserving adapter mapping. This version establishes the engineering lockpoint immediately prior to licensing deployment. Protected under Verrell–Solace Sovereignty Protocol (VMR-Core).
