"""The capability registry, and the acquisition protocol each capability declares.
ADR 0006 and ADR 0021. Every model-backed feature is data, not code — which is
what collapses the prototype's 26 capability screens into two layouts.
**This file was rewritten against the founder's zero-training directive**
(`Animap_AI_Inference_Zero_Training_Implementation_Directive.md`). The registry
used to answer *"can one model do this from one unconstrained RGB photograph?"*
and answered *no* nineteen times. The directive rejects that question. The
question it asks instead is *"what is the minimum practical capture protocol,
model combination, signal-processing method or retrieval method that makes this
observable enough to be useful?"* — and a capability whose claim is corrected
survives instead of disappearing.
Nothing measured was thrown away. Every figure the earlier pass recorded is
still in `app/dispositions.py`, verbatim, now attached to the classification it
argues about rather than to a verdict it was made to justify.
## `state` is a claim ceiling, not an availability flag
The most load-bearing distinction in this file. `state` says how strong a claim
this capability is *entitled* to make once its stack is wired. `is_runnable`
says whether an artefact and an adapter exist **today**. They are independent,
and a client must render both: 27 of the 28 capabilities are `experimental` and
26 of them are `runnable: false`, which reads as *"this is a real feature, it is
not switched on yet"* — not as *"this works."*
The twenty-eighth is `poultry_uniformity`, and it is `unsupported_claim`
(ADR 0023). It is the only capability whose claim was refused rather than
corrected, and the distinction above is what made the refusal legible: its
ceiling was never in doubt while the question was *when*, and collapsed the
moment somebody measured what its input would be worth.
Two capabilities run: `cattle_detection` and `poultry_count`, on YOLOX-m under
Apache-2.0 (ADR 0017, ADR 0018). Both are `experimental` rather than
`production`, because their only validation is 31 frames labelled by one
non-expert and a `global-coco` provenance.
## Why state plus flags, and not one enum or one set
Directive §2 names seven states: `production`, `experimental`,
`human_confirmation`, `guided_capture`, `hardware_required`, `coming_soon`,
`unsupported_claim`. They do not form a ladder, and §18 proves it — poultry
footpad is *"Experimental / Guided Capture / Human Confirmation"* at once.
They answer two different questions:
- **How far can this be trusted?** `production`, `experimental`, `coming_soon`,
`unsupported_claim`. Exactly one is true at a time. That is `CapabilityState`.
- **What has to happen for an output to exist at all?** Guided capture, a human
confirming, an accessory, a fixed installation. Any combination is possible,
including none. That is a set of `Requirement`.
A single enum would need one member per combination. A single flat set would
let a capability be `production` and `coming_soon` together, which is
meaningless. State plus flags is the only one of the three that can express §18
and cannot express nonsense.
`Requirement` also carries `FIXED_INSTALLATION`, which §2 does not name but §1
and §27 do — *"continuous-monitoring version requires fixed camera/mic"*. That
is the eighth reframing, and it is a requirement rather than a state for the
same reason as the other three: §27 says the continuous form is a separate
capability, so the flag describes an acquisition mode, not a trust level.
`PRODUCTION`, `COMING_SOON`, `HARDWARE_REQUIRED` and `FIXED_INSTALLATION` have
no member in the registry today — `UNSUPPORTED_CLAIM` was on that list until
ADR 0023 and now holds `poultry_uniformity`. They stay because
`state` is a wire vocabulary that two other services and a phone read, and
adding a value later means a coordinated release across all of them. **Not
because anything renders them yet** — the app's capability screens still carry
the old vocabulary in comments that this change makes stale, on 43 lines across
27 Kotlin files. `REJECTED_CLAIMS` below names which hardware and which fixed
installation would unlock which stronger claim.
An earlier version of this paragraph added *"no Kotlin file reads `state` at
all"*, which has stopped being true:
`apps/android/…/capability/CapabilityEnums.kt` mirrors this vocabulary as an
executable Kotlin enum. It was untracked when this was written, so it is another
agent's in-flight work — but a value added here now costs a release on the phone
in fact, not only in principle.
`COMING_SOON` emptied when `poultry_uniformity` moved to `experimental`, and
that same capability then filled `UNSUPPORTED_CLAIM`. So `state` runs two live
values and two reserved ones. For a long time it ran *one* live value, which
looked like a vocabulary doing no work — and was the honest reading of a
registry where every capability's *claim* was supportable and almost none of
them was *built*. The second fact is `is_runnable`'s to report, and it reports
it for 26 of the 28.
**The vocabulary earned its keep the first time a measurement came back against
a capability rather than against a model.** An enum with one live value cannot
say *"this one is different"*, and by the time it needs to, adding the value is
a coordinated release across three codebases.
## Where this file is stricter than the directive's own status lines
Fifteen capabilities carry `GUIDED_CAPTURE` although the status line in their
directive section does not name it: `cattle_bcs` (§7), `cattle_gait` (§24),
`cattle_identity` (§6.4), `cattle_ticks` (§25), `cattle_weight` (§22),
`poultry_count` (§6.3), `poultry_eye_head`, `poultry_feather` and
`poultry_hock` (§19), `poultry_fecal` (§13), `poultry_heat_stress` (§17),
`poultry_inactive_birds` (§15), `poultry_respiratory` (§26),
`poultry_uniformity` and `poultry_weight` (§23). Only four sections name the
flag for a capability that holds it — §8, §11, §14 and §18.
For twelve of the fifteen the flag follows the *capture* the section specifies
rather than its status line, because §2 defines the flag by whether the user
must follow a protocol: a side and a rear-quarter view, a five-metre walk, four
to six samples, a held bird, a density-appropriate mode. Every one of those is
an instruction the farmer has to obey for the capture to carry the signal.
**Three of the fifteen do not have that justification, and should not pretend
to.** §19 specifies no capture at all — no views, no samples, no duration — so
`poultry_hock`, `poultry_feather` and `poultry_eye_head` carry the flag because
*this file* invented their protocols (`held_bird_hock`, `whole_bird_dorsal`,
`held_bird_head`), not because the directive asked for them. Presenting a bird's
hock or its head to a camera really does need the bird caught and held, which is
why the flag is right; but the source is a judgement made here, and
`poultry_wound` shows how thin the line is — it is a lesion close-up anywhere on
the body, exactly like `cattle_wound`, so it carries no flag. A reader who
thinks `poultry_feather` is no more "held" than `poultry_wound` has a fair
argument, and this note exists so they can find it.
**An earlier draft of this paragraph said four and named four**, which was an
undercount taken from the wrong reading and not a narrower definition — there is
no reading of the directive under which the number is four. The list above was
derived by matching every `GUIDED_CAPTURE` holder against the `## Status` block
of its own section.
It runs one way only. §20's *second* status block — *"Guided Capture / accessory
recommended"* — belongs to the candling sub-capability for fine cracks, not to
`egg_quality`, whose own status line is plain `Experimental`. So `egg_quality`
carries no flag, and the candling route lives where the directive puts it: on
`hairline_crack_from_ambient_photo`'s `available_with`.
## Compute is never a reason for a lower state
Founder's instruction, and it constrains every classification in this file: a
capability is not downgraded because a model is expensive to run. SAM 3.1,
DINOv3, VGGT and a hosted multimodal reasoner do not fit on a phone and several
want a GPU. That is a **hosting** decision — the inference legs can run
somewhere with GPUs — and it produces a `Connectivity` tier, not a lower state
and not a `hardware_required` flag.
So where the model runs is answered by two fields, and neither of them is
`state`:
- **`connectivity`** — what a farmer gets with no signal. After this rewrite,
26 capabilities are `required`: the phone contributes nothing to the
answer, so the honest badge is *"Saves now, analysis runs when you
reconnect."* Two are `deferred`, because the Android app really does ship a
MediaPipe COCO detector over `efficientdet_lite0.tflite` that answers
*"cattle detected"* and counts visible birds offline
(`apps/android/.../capture/SubjectDetector.kt`). **That file's "about 30 ms"
is its own comment's claim with no benchmark behind it anywhere in this
repo** — the detector is real, the latency is unverified. Per ADR 0002 every
tier still saves the capture; connectivity gates analysis, never capture.
- **`on_device_candidate`** — whether this could plausibly move to the phone
later, which is the difference between a feature that works in a shed and one
that works in the yard. Set only where the directive's own method is
deterministic signal processing or an on-device detector that already runs,
not wherever it would be nice.
## A licence is never a reason for a lower state either
Second founder instruction, and it works the same way as the first: *"don't drop
anything because of licence requirement for now. just get them done."*
Nothing here is `coming_soon` or `unsupported_claim` because the best model for
it is AGPL, non-commercial, research-only or gated. `cattle_identity` is the
case that proves it — directive §4 names MegaDescriptor first, its weights are
CC-BY-NC-4.0, and the capability is `experimental` anyway, because what decides
that is whether a muzzle is photographable and whether the claim is confirmed,
not whose terms the embedding arrives under.
So the licence is recorded as an **attribute of the models a capability leans
on**, in `model_stack`, and `licence_exposure()` answers *"which capabilities
currently depend on a copyleft or non-commercial model"* without anyone going
digging. The terms themselves live in `app/adapters/licences.py`, which is the
adapters agent's ledger, records a primary source and a verification date for
every runtime, and is the only thing here entitled to an opinion about terms.
This file names runtimes; it does not restate their licences.
That ledger still refuses to *serve* a disallowed runtime, which is correct and
is a different decision from this one: refusing to run a model is a deployment
answer, and classifying a capability is a product answer. A capability whose
whole stack is unservable today is still classified on its signal, and
`licence_exposure()` is how that shows up before anything is sold.

"""One thing a capability may say in words, and where the wording came from.
## Why the words are a vocabulary and not a free-text field
`evidence` and `limits` were declared as arrays of free strings, and that
was the one field in the contract a model could write a sentence into. Three
agents hardened the prose scan over it; each closed real phrasings and each
was then beaten by a rephrasing, and the watchdogs' verdict converged on
*"the identifier control is real, the publication control is theatre."* The
last attempt closed twelve of fifteen numeric carriers and its own watchdog
still published a forbidden uniformity figure from 28 of 28 capabilities,
and a digit-free assertion — *"This flock is not uniform enough to
harvest"* — had no defence at all and was never going to get one.
**Anything that scans prose loses to an author who rephrases.** This
repository learned that once already, in Android's `NoInventedDataTest`, and
wrote it down there. So the field stops being prose.
ADR 0024 carries the decision. The short form: the directive's own worked
output is a rubric's observable features, not sentences —
"evidence": ["prominent hooks", "visible pins",
"limited fat around tail head"]
— and §10's *"Multiple raised nodular lesions visible"*, §19's *"Reduced
feather coverage on back and tail"*, §11's six hoof findings and §12's six
faecal appearances are all items a capability can enumerate. §4's *"All
calls must return structured JSON"* is read as meaning this, rather than as
*"parses, and has these top-level keys"*.
## The phrase is the reader-facing string, not an identifier
`claims` are snake_case identifiers a client renders. These are not: the
phrase is what a farmer reads, verbatim, so the review that matters happens
in this file's diff rather than in a client's string table. It also keeps
the directive's own wording intact where the directive prints a line — §7's
three features are here character for character.
## A phrase never carries a per-capture number
§25 prints *"17 probable ticks visible across sampled regions"*, and 17 is
not a property of the vocabulary. The invariant words are the phrase and the
figure stays in `observations[].value`, where `OutputSpec` already bounds it
on the unit the registry declared. **That is the whole of the old quantity
problem, gone rather than mitigated**: a model cannot write a digit into
words a farmer reads, because it cannot write the words.
A phrase may carry a number that is a *constant* — a rubric's endpoints in
*"Approximate grade on the 0-4 rubric"*, the seconds in a capture limit,
§6.3's own uncertainty footnote. Those are reviewed here and asserted as an
exact set by `tests/test_directive_payloads.py`, so adding one takes a diff.

"""What number, if any, one claim's `observations[].value` may carry.
## Why this exists at all
`OutputSpec` bounded one quantity per capability and named the claims that
carry it. Every other claim's value was unbounded — 73 of the registry's 93,
across 12 capabilities that named none — so a reasoner could launder any
figure through an observation nobody had bounded, and the prose gate in
`app/adapters/claims.py` would then treat that figure as corroborated. The
named case was `cattle_gait`: §24 forbids *"Lameness score 3"*, and
`{"type": "gait_asymmetry", "value": 3}` published it.
The fix cannot be a blanket bound over a capability's vocabulary, because a
vocabulary is not one unit — §18 pairs a 0-to-4 footpad grade with a
prevalence in percent. So the unit is declared per claim, which is what this
is.
## `carries_number = False` is a claim about the claim, not a missing entry
A body condition score, a count of lesions and a direction of travel are
three different kinds of thing, and only two of them are quantities.
*"Possible gait asymmetry"* has no magnitude; a number standing beside it is
not a more precise reading, it is a score the directive refuses. Declaring
that is the point of the field.
## How "no number" is enforced through a contract that cannot say it
`bounds_for` is the hook `check_numeric_bounds` calls, and its answer is
three slots — minimum, maximum, step. None of them says *"no number at
all"*, and returning nothing in all three means *permitted*, which is the
state this field exists to end.
So a claim carrying no quantity declares an **empty interval**: a minimum
above its maximum, which no number satisfies. It is a deliberate encoding
and not a typo, and it is the only one those three slots have.
**The first version of this returned 0 to 1** — absent or present, on the
reasoning that a finding rides in a numeric field as a flag when it rides in
one at all. A watchdog defeated it immediately, on the exact capability the
field was built for: `{"type": "gait_asymmetry", "value": 1}` beside
*"Lameness score 1."* published, and 91 of the 93 pairs took the same shape.
A score of 1 is a score. The two digits that looked like they asserted
nothing asserted the thing §24 forbids.
What a categorical claim keeps is the string. `Observation.value` is
`float | str | None`, `check_numeric_bounds` looks only at numbers, and
*"moderate"*, *"left flank"* and *"drinker line 3"* all publish — so
refusing every number costs a claim nothing it should have been saying.

`show_range` is the flag that stops *"BCS 2.63"*. Directive §7 is blunt
about it: false precision is worse than a broad useful estimate.
## The bounds are refusals, not accuracy claims
A watchdog validated `respiratory_rate_range` at **0 to 100,000 breaths a
minute** against the generated schema, because only the hand-written
`BCS_SCHEMA` carried `minimum` and `maximum`. Every other numeric output was
unbounded. So the bounds live here, next to the vocabulary, for the same
reason `forbidden_claims` does: the constraint belongs where the capability
is declared, not in whichever adapter happens to run it.
**`plausible_min` and `plausible_max` mark the impossible, not the
unusual.** Outside them a value is not a poor estimate, it is a broken one —
a cow that weighs four grams, a bird counted 1.4 times. They are deliberately
wide, because a bound that refuses a true outlier is worse than no bound: it
silently deletes the one capture that mattered. Nothing here should be read
as a statement about where a real answer usually falls. That is
`stated_uncertainty`'s job, in `app/dispositions.py`, where the measured
figures are.
Each bound is marked with a `Basis` — scale, directive or guardrail — and
they are not equally strong. A guardrail is an engineering judgement with no
measurement behind it, and it says so rather than being left to look like a
finding.
## The headline bounds cover two fields, and `quantities` covers the rest
`plausible_min`, `plausible_max` and `step` bound the capability's own
quantity, which is what `range` and `best_estimate` report and nothing else.
They were the whole of the numeric contract for one commit, and that left
every observation on a claim outside `measured_claims` unbounded — 73 of the
registry's 93 allowed claims, in 12 capabilities that declared none at all.
A figure laundered through one of those was then treated as corroborated by
the prose gate, so §24's forbidden *"Lameness score 3"* published as
`{"type": "gait_asymmetry", "value": 3}`.
`quantities` closes that by declaring, per claim, what number the claim may
carry — or that it carries none. See `ClaimQuantity`, which also records
where its enforcement is weaker than its declaration.
`step` is the same idea applied to granularity, and it is what catches
§7's own forbidden example. `BCS_SCHEMA` had to be repaired once because
`best_estimate: 2.6347` validated against a bare `{"type": "number"}`; a
half-point rubric cannot make a two-decimal claim, so `step` says 0.5 and
the schema refuses the rest. On a count it says 1, because 327.4 birds is
not a more careful answer than 327.
## These were declared here and read by nothing, for one commit
Worth writing down, because the failure is easy to repeat and it was not
visible from this file. Every field above was correct, published by
`GET /capabilities`, and **wired to no check at all**:
`app/adapters/claims.py::schema_for` built `range`, `best_estimate` and
`observations[].value` as bare unbounded numbers, so a watchdog published
100,000 breaths a minute, a cow weighing 0.004 kg and — §7's own named
forbidden example — `best_estimate: 2.63` on `cattle_bcs`. Impossible-high
in 16 of 16, negative in 16 of 16, off-step in 10 of 10.
The tests could not see it, and said so in their own docstring: they
asserted that `step` was `0.5` and that `2.63 % 0.5 != 0`, which is a fact
about Python arithmetic rather than about this system. **A declaration
nothing reads is not a control**, and a test that reads the declaration
cannot tell the difference. `tests/test_dispositions.py` now publishes
payloads and expects refusals instead.

#:
#: **This is the change ADR 0024 makes, and it is a table rather than a rule.**
#: `evidence` used to be `{"type": "string", "maxLength": 200}`, which is the
#: field every successful attack on this service landed in. It is now an enum,
#: per capability, exactly as `claims` already was — and the argument that it
#: could not be is answered by reading what the directive actually prints. §7's
#: worked output is three observable features from a rubric. §10 prints one
#: sentence, §19 prints four, §11 lists six hoof findings, §12 lists six faecal
#: appearances and §38 lists the bands. Not one of those is prose a model has to
#: compose.
#:
#: ## Three rules the table follows
#:
#: **The directive's wording is kept character for character where it prints
#: one.** §7's *"prominent hooks"* is here as `prominent hooks`, not as
#: `Prominent hooks are visible`. A vocabulary that paraphrases the source it
#: claims to implement is a vocabulary nobody can check against it.
#:
#: **Every finding has its negative.** *"No obvious visible discharge"* is §9's
#: own printed output and it is the shape the whole table needs: a control that
#: can only say the abnormal thing is a control that manufactures abnormal
#: results. Where the directive prints only the positive, the negative is
#: marked `product` and is this file's judgement.
#:
#: **No phrase carries a per-capture number.** §25's 17 ticks, §18's grade of 2
#: and §6.3's 327 birds all live in `observations[].value`, `range` or
#: `best_estimate`, where `OutputSpec` bounds them on the unit the registry
#: declared. A constant may appear — a rubric's endpoints, §6.3's uncertainty
#: footnote, the seconds §26 asks for — and
#: `tests/test_directive_payloads.py` asserts the exact set of phrases that

"**What §23's four statistics come to.** The section asks for "
"an average, a range, a coefficient of variation and a "
"uniformity. The first two survive a vision weight and the "
"last two do not — measurement error averages out of a mean "
"and squares into a variance — so `sample_mean` and "
"`sample_range` are allowed here and the spread is refused, "
"on this capability and on `poultry_uniformity` both. "
"`sample_range` is a band in kilograms shown as a band, which "
"is what §38 asks for; it is not a uniformity percentage a "
"farm culls on. **Its own inflation was not measured** — the "
"experiment covered the mean and the CV — so that it survives "
"is a decision about the shape of the claim rather than a "
"measurement of the claim."),
# §23 again, and **the one capability in this registry whose claim is
# refused rather than corrected.** ADR 0023 is the decision; this is what
# it does to the entry.
#
# The history is worth keeping because the same argument was made twice
# and was wrong both times. It was `coming_soon`, on the reasoning that
# nobody had built it. An auditor called that the weakest classification
# in the file — `state` is a claim ceiling, and availability is
# `is_runnable`'s to report — so it moved to `experimental` with an unmet
# `depends_on`. That was the right correction to the wrong question.
# Nobody had asked what the input would be worth when it arrived.
#
# **`experiments/poultry_weight/` asked, and the answer ends the
# capability.** A coefficient of variation over measured weights carries
# the measurement error as well as the flock's own spread, because error
# adds variance. At the best published per-bird error for this method —
# 7.8%, Mortensen et al. 2016, from a *fixed depth camera* over a
# commercial house, so a floor on a phone's error rather than an estimate
# of it — against a commercial flock's own 11-18% spread:
#
# * 15 birds, true CV 12%: estimated CV 14.38%, **bias +2.40 points**,
# within two points of the truth 40.0% of the time.
# * The derived uniformity reads **6.96 points low**. A flock at 60%
# uniformity reports as 53%.
# * **More birds does not fix it.** +1.91 at n=10, +2.40 at n=15,
# +2.24 at n=20, +2.16 at n=30. The exact-weight control converges
# towards zero over the same sweep (-0.50 to -0.05); this does not,
# because the bias is systematic and not sampling noise.
# * Across true CVs of 8-18% at fifteen birds the CV bias runs +1.46
# to +2.90 and the uniformity error -1.46 to -13.94 points. **It is
# worst where the flock is most uniform**, which is the opposite of
# useful.
#
# Two things follow, and the second is why `experimental` is not
# available as a softer landing.
#
# **The error is a bias, not a width.** `experimental` means the output
# carries broad uncertainty the user can see, and a visible band is that
# state's whole remedy. A band does not move a centre. A flock at 60%
# still reads 53% with error bars drawn round it, and it reads low in the
# direction that makes a bad flock look acceptable — the direction a farm
# does not investigate.
#
# **§36's bar is met, and it is met by the signal rather than by a failed
# model.** §36 refuses to call a capability unavailable on one model's
# failure. This is not one model's failure: it is error propagation, it
# binds any vision method at that error level, and the error level is a
# published floor. `experiments/poultry_weight/` also prices the escape —
# a per-bird error of 4% still leaves about -3 uniformity points from
# measurement bias alone, and the small figure at n=15 is two biases
# cancelling rather than an error small enough to ignore.
#
# **The simulation has a closed form and the two agree**, which is what
# takes this from one experiment's result to a property of the
# estimator. Measuring a weight with independent relative error `e`
# gives `CV_obs = sqrt(CV^2 + e^2 + CV^2 e^2)`; at a true CV of 12% and
# e = 7.8% that is +2.34 points against the simulation's +2.40, and at
# e = 6.6% it is +1.72 against +1.74. **There is no `n` in the closed
# form**, which is the sharpest statement of why more birds does not
# help. ADR 0023 carries the full comparison.
#
# `unsupported_claim` is then the only one of the four states left.
# `production` and `experimental` both assert a publishable output;
# `coming_soon` means an engineering path nobody has walked, and this one
# was walked. The state is a claim ceiling and this ceiling is zero.
#
# **What it does not say.** Uniformity from a *scale* is exact and always
# was — §23's "requires no ML once weights exist" is true of scale
# weights and was never true of camera weights. That route survives, in
# `derived_claims`, and it is not an inference capability: a farmer
# typing ten numbers is not a capture, has no modality and runs no model.
# It is the `reconciled_flock_population` shape exactly — a legitimate
# number for the product to show, illegitimate as a *model's* claim.
#
# The declared protocol below is kept although nothing may be published
# from it. §36 asks for the attempt to be documented, and an entry that
# deleted its own capture would invite the next reader to propose it
