Description
AI Ethical Stack — Program Status Update
Date: Feb 24, 2026 (AM cycle)
Scope: Cross-repo status check, alignment assessment, Phoenix doc gap analysis
Current Status by Repository
1. Abigail (jbcupps/abigail)
Last commit: Feb 23, 2026 | Open issues: 2 | Open PRs: 3 | Closed PRs: 86
Recent Activity (Feb 22-23):
feat/tier-based-model-routing— Dynamic model registry with Fast/Standard/Pro tier selection (PR #93, merged)refactor/entity-chat-shared-engine— Extracted shared chat engine intoentity-chatlibrary crate (PR #92, merged)fix/tool-schemas-model-discovery— Resolved OpenAI 400 errors from invalid tool schemas, added model discovery (PR #91, merged)feat/skills-tool-use-loop— Tool-use loop, memory persistence, skill loading, scaffolding CLI (PRs #89-90, merged)feat/entity-daemon-chat-pipeline— Full chat pipeline in entity-daemon for Tauri parity (PR #88, merged)feat/hive-entity-separation-phase1— Hive/Entity separation Phase 1, all docs updated (PR #86, merged)
Open PRs: #82 (sysinfo bump, failing), #80 (tailwindcss bump, failing), #76 (dev-split, passing CI)
Open Issues: #58 (autonomy levels 0-4, Phase 4), #57 (SAO connection, Phase 2)
Assessment: Most active repo. Tier-based routing, shared chat engine, tool-use loop, and Hive/Entity separation are significant advances not yet in Phoenix docs.
2. Orion_dock (jbcupps/Orion_dock)
Last commit: Feb 18, 2026 | Open issues: 2 | Open PRs: 1 | Closed PRs: 58
Recent Activity (Feb 14-18):
- Merged proxy into base compose for single-command full stack
- Agent self-awareness, self-management API, and runtime context
- Replaced Pro sidecar with native Rust Council DAG engine
- Overhauled birth flow with Postgres multi-agent fix, Hive lineage, 4 Genesis paths
- Superego safety refactor and fast routing telemetry
- Generic email skill, capability taxonomy
Open PRs: #61 (proxy merge + agentic hardening, 6 tasks)
Open Issues: #60 (production deployment, Phase 5), #59 (Docker Compose for SAO stack, Phase 2)
Assessment: Very active. Council DAG engine, dual-proxy egress, agent self-awareness, 4 Genesis paths not reflected in Phoenix docs.
3. SAO (jbcupps/SAO)
Last commit: Feb 19, 2026 | Open issues: 6 | Open PRs: 0
Recent Activity (Feb 7-19):
- Full key vault platform with auth, encryption, and React frontend (PR End-to-end integration testing: Abigail -> SAO -> Ethical_AI_Reg -> Blockchain #3)
- Provisioning flow, vault/registry docs, web-search skill example
- Superego personality evolution and personality.md in soul contract
- Agent archetype soul + skills standard
Open Issues: #8 (autonomy coordination, Phase 4), #7 (blockchain endpoint, Phase 3), #6 (ethical eval forwarding, Phase 2), #5 (Ed25519 middleware, Phase 2), #4 (agent registration API, Phase 2), #2 (ethical bridge, enhancement)
Assessment: Foundation solid (vault, registry, provisioning). Core Phase 2 deliverables still open. Needs focused dev for Phase 2.
4. Ethical_AI_Reg (jbcupps/Ethical_AI_Reg)
Last commit: Feb 7, 2026 | Open issues: 12 | Open PRs: 2 (both failing CI)
Open PRs (both failing): #6 (Docker fix), #5 (modular API routes)
Phase 1 Issues (untouched): #7 (TriangleEthic scoring API), #8 (dimension weight config), #9 (friction calculation)
Foundation Issues: #2 (Docker compose verification, bug), #1 (split api.py), #3 (LiteLLM refactor), #4 (auth endpoint)
Assessment: Blocks ALL downstream phases. Docker build must pass first, then Phase 1 scoring API is critical path.
5. Phoenix (jbcupps/Phoenix)
Last commit: Feb 19, 2026 | Open issues: 5
Assessment: Phase 0 complete. Docs 5 days stale — does not reflect Abigail (Feb 23) or Orion (Feb 14-18) advances.
Roadmap Phase Status
| Phase | Status | Blocker |
|---|---|---|
| 0: Foundation | ✅ COMPLETE | — |
| 1: Scoring Engine | 🔴 BLOCKED | Ethical_AI_Reg: no commits 17 days, PRs failing CI |
| 2: Multi-Agent Scoring | ⬜ NOT STARTED | Depends on Phase 1 |
| 3: On-Chain Recording | ⬜ NOT STARTED | Depends on Phase 2 |
| 4: Liberation Protocol | ⬜ NOT STARTED | Depends on Phase 3 |
| 5: Agent Integration | ⬜ NOT STARTED | Depends on Phase 4 |
Phoenix Documentation Gaps
- ARCHITECTURE.md — Missing: Abigail Hive/Entity separation, tier-based routing, entity-chat crate; Orion Council DAG, dual-proxy, agent self-awareness, 4 Genesis paths; SAO vault platform
- INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md — Missing: tier routing flow, Council Engine Pro-tier detail, Superego personality evolution
- ROADMAP.md — Missing: phase status tracking, blocker identification
- README.md — Integration matrix tech descriptions need updating
Recommended Immediate Actions
- URGENT: Unblock Ethical_AI_Reg — fix Docker builds (PR Program Status Update — Feb 24, 2026 (AM) #6), begin Phase 1 scoring API (docs: add DEVELOPER TOOLING STACK reference guide #7)
- Update Phoenix docs to reflect Abigail and Orion advances
- Add phase status tracking to ROADMAP.md
- Review Abigail PR #76 (dev-split) — passing CI, ready for merge decision
