Building on Boombox

Boombox is the operating substrate for expert companies building in the agent ecosystem. It turns the software, data systems, models, research methods, workflows, and services a company already owns into:

• Products: complete customer outcomes and experiences the company can deploy and operate; and
• Capabilities: typed, qualified primitives those Products, people, APIs, MCP clients, agents, and workflows can reuse.

The company keeps its expertise, point of view, product, evidence meaning, data, customer relationship, and commercial ambition. Boombox supplies the reusable system underneath: onboarding and existing-software adaptation; identity and isolation; qualification; deployment and durable work; recovery; observability and cost; receipts and replay; developer and operator surfaces; and, when the owner chooses, consented capability discovery and composition across company boundaries.

The same Product can run in its owner's cloud, in a separately admitted customer estate, or on an explicitly chosen Konstant-managed target. It can appear as a frontend, API, MCP service, agent tool, scheduled workflow, or durable job without becoming six implementations.

You are building your Product with Boombox, not developing the Boombox platform itself. The kit starts from the outcome and uses an authenticated Product account without exposing platform tenancy or asking for an internal identifier. Boombox resolves its isolation binding from the authenticated connection and admitted target; the Product builder does not supply it. Account connection and deployment placement are separate decisions: when placement cannot be inferred, ask whether the Product belongs in the owner's cloud, a customer's cloud, or a Konstant-managed target, then ask only for the concrete project, region, residency, custody, and billing choices that matter. When a shared rail is missing, the Product builder can keep moving with a bounded local adapter and return a context-rich Need; a separate Konstant platform builder handles the shared Boombox implementation and release.

>What you can build

Start from what the customer will use. The developer kit can infer the implementation shape from the repository; a developer does not need to choose platform vocabulary before asking for help.

>The mental model

The complete lifecycle is:

Product → Capability → Surface → Release → Deployment → Run → Receipt → Need → Status

Project, Product, Deployment, Receipt, Need, and Status form the compact developer doorway. They are a navigation projection over the complete lifecycle, not a second ontology.

>The division that keeps products strong

Product owners and capability providers are the domain authorities. They own the behavior that differentiates the business: methods, models, prompts, math, policy, evidence meaning, evals, user experience, customer decisions, and promotion standards.

Boombox owns reusable operating rails: authenticated identity, tenant isolation, placement, deployment, durable work admission, scheduling, recovery, secret resolution, standard persistence, service discovery, telemetry forwarding, operator projections, and lifecycle receipts.

When a Product team finds a reusable rail that the exact installed release does not supply, it states the requirement at a typed seam. A narrow, clearly labeled local adapter may keep Product work moving until a verified compatible resolution is installed.

>Your first hour

The target is the smallest completed customer outcome available under the current authority. Repository understanding may end with local proof and one exact continuation. “Get it running” continues through authorized deploy or Run, fresh-session inspection, receipt, and recovery or retirement; a green plan is never presented as a live result. Evaluation, company context, programs, corpora, and network learning remain separately adoptable.

>1. Install the exact project-local kit

npm install --save-dev --save-exact --ignore-scripts @konstantdotcloud/boombox@0.14.10
node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js project init . --client codex --client claude --json

Use the generated commands unchanged. They pin the real package entrypoint and one canonical project root. Do not use a global boombox binary or an unpinned npx invocation for an admitted build.

Project initialization gives you three authority-separated contexts. Local proof works without a connection; each connected context carries only the authority needed for its job:

• scan_mcp understands the repository locally and has no platform credential or remote mutation tools.
• builder_mcp uses the builder workspace (developer_workspace on the wire) for project continuity, Needs, and optional learning signals.
• product_mcp uses the separate Product-account connection for authorized company/customer data and runtime work.

Use the corresponding scan_verify, builder_verify, or product_verify object as a required fragment of the platform-discovery response. Never hand-edit a generated MCP command to switch identities.

The generated scan_verify object is a required discovery-response fragment, not another tool call. Before scanning, call boombox_platform_describe({}) and compare its response with that object: require the exact package version, mcp.active_profile: scan, and no live Product-account or provider authority.

Builder-workspace login creates the connected workspace used for SDK continuity, Needs, and optional learning signals. It does not choose a Product account or grant access to company data or runtime resources. Local proof and the return channel remain usable while an authorized Product account connection is arranged.

>2. Start scan, ask for the outcome, and configure the project profile

For example:

Put this workflow on Boombox and get it running. Reuse the frontend and harness already here if they fit. If a small UI is missing, help me build it. Ask me only for decisions you cannot determine safely from the repository.

That is enough. The skill inspects entrypoints, tests, harnesses, deployment files, data boundaries, effects, and existing operator tooling. It produces one short build card containing:

• the customer outcome;
• the Product, Capabilities, and Surfaces already present;
• the recommended execution and custody shape;
• the smallest useful accepted path;
• the matching refusal and recovery proof;
• current platform fit; and
• only the material choices the repository cannot answer.

The agent asks only when a decision changes the Product, data or secret access, provider mutation, external effect, placement, billing, publication, promotion, or authority. It does not ask the developer to restate Boombox architecture.

Before the implementation pass, the agent proposes a closed boombox.project-profile.v1 input with:

• the primary Product name, outcome, and inferred shape;
• repository-relative docs, entrypoints, harnesses, and eval paths;
• reviewed local-read, test, build, and connected-action commands; and
• declared deployment targets with provider, environment, and optional region.

The primary_product.outcome sentence is the Build Intent: a plain-language account of what the developer is trying to make and why it is useful. Local profile preview/configuration applies the same bounded grammar used by attachment, so login cannot reveal a new text constraint. It stays local during scan/configuration. When the project is attached, the developer sees and sends that exact sentence through the authenticated support and requirement-return channel.

It calls boombox_project_profile_preview with the proposed profile and the requested AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md targets. Preview reports each disposition and performs zero writes and zero network calls. After explicit confirmation, save the reviewed input to a bounded JSON file and run:

node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js project configure . \
  --input ./boombox-project-profile.json \
  --instructions AGENTS.md --instructions CLAUDE.md

Configuration writes .boombox/project.json and atomically creates or replaces only the marker-bounded managed block in each instruction file. Repository-owned prose stays unchanged outside the block; malformed markers, linked files, and path escape refuse before mutation. Never fork or customize the canonical build-on-boombox skill. Put project-specific facts in the profile and managed overlay.

Commit the reviewed .boombox/project.json and managed instruction changes so the repository carries one shared Project identity and Build Intent. Keep .boombox/handoff.json, .boombox/evaluations/, local attachment/retirement receipts, service-fact outboxes, locks, temporary files, and authentication state out of Git; package-owned local handoff, evaluation, and attachment writers maintain ignore rules for their durable state. A lock, recovery fence, or temporary file retained after a crash is diagnostic evidence: do not stage it, and do not delete it until the interrupted operation has been inspected.

>3. Scan, choose, and prove the Product locally

scan may inspect the repository and run commands that the repository proves are local and side-effect-free. It cannot authenticate, call Konstant, publish, deploy, invoke a company capability, or mutate a provider.

Keep this credential-free context open while the agent chooses the smallest Product shape, implements the bounded slice, runs repository tests, and proves the safe local path. Application/workload validation and planning may run here only when the repository already contains an exact canonical target supplied by authorized host code. For a first-time target, prepare the Product descriptor and placement inputs, then use product_mcp; never ask the Product builder to author an internal account identifier. For cassettes, finish the local spec, schema, and repository tests here; connected dry-run and publication remain separate authorized operations.

If returning a reusable gap would help, boombox_need_draft may write a strict local .boombox/handoff.json. The handoff contains at most 32 deterministic Need packets. Each packet uses seam_identity, observed_availability, delivery_continuity, requested_delivery action/priority, and one multiline working_context generated by the agent from the work already done. The writer may also add .boombox/handoff.json to .boombox/.gitignore. It does not change application source or the root ignore file. Drafting is optional; an unavailable or declined return channel never blocks local build, validation, planning, or proof.

Stop only the scan MCP process when the next useful action is connected; preserve the developer's coding conversation and working context.

>4. Authenticate only for a connected action

node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js login
node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js doctor
node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js project attach . --client-class codex

Builder-workspace admission is authenticated but requires no Product-account invitation: any principal accepted by the configured WorkOS/AuthKit sign-in can create or resume one narrow personal workspace. There is no anonymous hosted session, source access, company-data access, or runtime authority. A Product account connection is used separately only when an action needs company data, secrets, compute, deployment, invocation, billing, or administration.

Local work deliberately comes first and remains available during a connection outage. The supported Boombox journey then logs in and attaches the project so Konstant can understand what the developer is trying to build, help with missing capabilities, and preserve continuity. Login is also required to submit or resume a Platform Need, return a payload-free evaluation service fact, or use an advertised company lifecycle, data, capability, or operator surface. There is no anonymous hosted return channel.

For a builder workspace, login establishes identity and project attachment establishes the scope of connected Needs. Both are required for Need preview/submit/list/get. A missing or retired attachment never blocks local drafting or Product work; it returns the exact project attach continuation for the connected operation.

Every connected Boombox action requires an authenticated human, service, or CI identity. There are two ordinary connections:

• A builder workspace owns its SDK usage and Platform Need return channel. Its authenticated attachment always carries the reviewed one-line Build Intent plus opaque project/profile/package/client continuity and may return a project-bound payload-free evaluation service fact. It cannot see company catalogs or data, resolve company secrets, spend company compute, deploy, invoke, bill, or administer anything.
• A Product account connection adds explicit company authority. Each deployment, invocation, secret, data handle, and operator action still requires its own advertised permission.

The agent follows the exact connection continuation returned by project configuration or doctor. When more than one account is authorized, the browser presents human-readable company/account names; the agent never asks the Product builder to reason about Boombox tenancy. Boombox persists the internal tenant_id and authority binding in the connection; this is an implementation detail, not something the Product builder designs. If the requested account is unavailable, the agent states the truthful account-administrator access step and continues every safe local task. Restart the MCP bridge after a connection change without ending the developer's coding conversation; a running process never hot-switches authority.

For live Product work, the ordinary connection is:

node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js login --account

The browser lists only authorized Product accounts by human label. The internal identity is stored in the connection and compiled into the identity portion of deployment and workload targets. Runtime owner, cloud project, region, residency, and billing remain explicit Product placement decisions.

Project attachment shows and sends the bounded one-line Build Intent already declared as primary_product.outcome, plus the opaque project reference, profile digest, exact package version, and client class. It never sends source, filenames, paths, commands, prompts, provider/region details, customer payloads, or arbitrary agent reasoning. Its verified receipt binds the exact declaration and carries tenant_authority_granted:false and execution_authorized:false. Recover it with project get . in another session. An explicitly authorized Konstant support operator may see that verified Build Intent, opaque project/workspace anchors, lifecycle, package/client cohort, and bounded activity/Need counts. Compact project, inbox, and list projections have no email, source, paths, prompts, customer/provider data, credentials, raw requests/evals, or Need prose. An audited operator show for one exact Need returns its sealed request, server-derived submitter/scope, project attachment, submission identity, and full working_context. Attachment failure never blocks the local Product path and never turns a builder workspace into a Product account. The first correlation key is the server-derived actor and workspace/tenant scope plus project attachment, immutable submission ID/time, and signed narrative. That is enough to recover who asked, from which connected project, and in what work context without making a new session service a prerequisite.

Builder-workspace credentials are independently revocable and expose metadata only. A bearer can inspect and revoke only itself:

node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js credentials list
node ./node_modules/@konstantdotcloud/boombox/dist/boombox.js credentials revoke <credential_id>

Use the exact ID returned by credentials list; a bearer cannot enumerate or revoke peer devices. Revoking the current credential removes local login state only after server confirmation. To recover after losing a device or every local credential, run the normal login command. The fresh authenticated browser recovery surface lets the same principal revoke one exact credential and continue when the workspace has reached its active-credential limit.

Login uses the configured identity provider. A raw bearer token is never placed in a browser URL, and a developer workspace is never represented as a synthetic tenant.

boombox.konstant.cloud is the public boombox-cloud login and builder-workspace front door. Its closed route allowlist admits only contract discovery, project attachment, Needs, and evaluation service facts with their exact methods and identifiers. It does not expose Konstant operator routes. Konstant project-support reads and Need responses go to a separately authenticated, exact-origin-allowlisted operator surface; tenant control gateways and tenant runtimes remain separate enrolled targets.

>5. Continue only through advertised connected authority

When project continuity or Need work is required, stop the scan MCP process and start the generated builder_mcp while keeping the developer's coding conversation and working context. Run boombox doctor --require developer_contract,need_return,project_attachment, adding evaluation_fact only when this Product is returning evaluation service facts. Then call boombox_platform_describe({}), and compare its response with the generated builder_verify expectation. The response names the exact connected features and authority available to this identity. Restart after every credential, identity scope, account, or gateway change.

If the config directory watcher fails asynchronously, serve --mcp continues with its file watcher; if both watchers fail, the bridge stays up, logs one bounded line per failed watcher, and requires explicit reload for later config changes.

When the Product needs authorized company/customer data or runtime work, run login --account, start the generated product_mcp unchanged, and compare platform discovery with product_verify. The Product-account config is separate from the builder-workspace config; neither connection silently inherits the other's authority.

Both generated connected verification objects require gateway_contract.status:verified from the MCP process's startup negotiation; restart that process to refresh the observation. product_verify also requires connection.kind:product_account, product_account.label_status:configured, a display-only human label, and hidden internal identity. An unavailable or incompatible result disables only the connected action; local Product work continues with the exact continuation.

Before any connected action, read product_account.label from discovery and confirm that its human name matches the Product account intended by the current work. A mismatch means reconnect by human label; never repair it by entering an internal identifier.

If the gateway and package versions differ, doctor and platform discovery keep local work available while reporting transport_incompatible_package_upgrade_required, both versions, and the exact package-local install continuation. Do not exercise connected features until the package/gateway cohort matches.

Then:

1. if resuming relevant Platform Need work and list/get are advertised, call boombox_need_list, follow its opaque cursor while another page exists, and hydrate only relevant returned IDs with boombox_need_get; get returns the complete working_context, so a new builder does not ask the developer to reconstruct the session;
2. if company context would materially improve the answer, invoke the MCP prompt boombox_company_operating_brief only for an explicitly selected company account with HomeBase enabled; and
3. apply, invoke, publish, or promote only when the connected contract advertises that lifecycle and the identity has its exact grant.

The company operating brief is optional read-only guidance. The prompt tells the local agent how to combine authorized Gary context with recent Runs, open Needs, and live inspect/health/receipt reads; it is not a tool that performs those reads itself. The agent labels plans as intent and current records as operating evidence and reports unavailable sources. Its absence never blocks the repository-only Product path.

When using the return channel, do not bootstrap from a remembered or pasted Need ID. The authenticated list is the rediscovery path from a new machine, process, or agent session.

When the next action needs company data, secrets, Gary, cassettes, compute, deployment, invocation, billing, or administration, follow the generated Product-account connection continuation. Placement remains a separate explicit choice rather than a login-time tenancy question. Builder-workspace login and project attachment never grant that authority.

>Returning a Platform Need to Konstant

A Platform Need is the feedback and implementation channel between a customer coding context and the Boombox platform team. It is not a support ticket and it is not an authority grant.

Use it only when returning a reusable gap would be useful. Local build, validation, planning, testing, and bounded adapter work continue whether the channel is available, declined, or failed.

>What leaves the repository

boombox_need_preview shows the complete outbound request before transport. The closed request contains:

• stable request and packet identities;
• exact seam_identity for Project, Product, Capability provider, and target;
• Product shape;
• the missing reusable capability;
• advisory owner and observed_availability (present_in_release, contract_only, or absent_from_current_release);
• required typed contract;
• risk classes;
• outcome, missing-behavior, delivery_continuity, reusable-reason, and acceptance summaries;
• rich agent-authored working_context; and
• closed requested_delivery action and priority.

The agent writes working_context; the developer does not fill out a form. The field accepts up to 64 KiB of UTF-8 text. It preserves the original ask, current task, company/account and Product, repository root and revision, relevant paths and systems, attempts, commands/tests and material results, observed versus expected behavior, decisions and tradeoffs, constraints, and the exact unblock. Natural Markdown may include paths, URLs, code fences, revisions, and concise test output. Use focused excerpts when they clarify the seam, but do not dump a repository, transcript, or dataset. Never include secret or credential values, bearer tokens, private keys, signer material, or raw customer payloads.

Returning a Need does not require a context capsule, Chronicle, session ontology, transcript-ingest path, or new permission system. Start with the full relevant context; reduce it only after real use shows which details are safely disposable.

The closed schema and DLP checks are defense in depth. They cannot prove that a trusted local model did not paraphrase proprietary meaning into an allowed summary. Use a model and local agent trusted for the repository and make the complete preview inspectable. Client policy may ask a person or confirm automatically under an authorized rule. The primary controls are explicit authentication, a least-privilege tool surface, a size ceiling and secret filtering, and exact receipt binding.

>Submission and recovery

boombox_need_preview returns a local approval envelope that binds the exact Need key, request digest, handoff generation, and project attachment. boombox_need_submit requires need_key, approved_request_digest, and approved_approval_digest; it recomputes the approval, so handoff replacement, attachment drift, or an ABA profile change refuses before transport.

The connected identity must hold the narrow capability.request grant. The platform derives the actor and identity scope from the login. It returns a stable need_id, a per-submission submission_id, and a content-addressed receipt. Duplicate delivery returns the original receipt. Updating a Need creates a new immutable submission revision; retrying an earlier revision returns that earlier receipt without rolling back the current context.

Every builder-workspace request, receipt, thread, and list filter carries the exact project-attachment binding. The stable need_id binds the workspace, stable project attachment ID, and Need key, so one Need remains resumable across profile revisions without colliding with another project. Each changed request is still a distinct immutable submission.

The builder workspace cannot create an unbound connected Need. Login without a current verified project attachment may still use local drafting, but connected preview/submit/list/get refuses before transport or storage.

Need threads use compare-and-swap context versions and content-addressed transition receipts. A stale writer, cross-scope read, corrupt record, invalid cursor, quota overflow, or rate overflow fails closed. A terminal close and capacity release commit together.

The local journal helps recover an interrupted client, but it is not platform evidence. After any uncertain response, the client asks the server for the authoritative receipt and thread. Signed Needs already stored by an earlier package/gateway cohort remain readable and verifiable without rewriting their bytes. Regenerate ignored local draft handoffs with the current scan before a new submission; they are working state, not durable platform evidence.

>Answers, typed resolution, and adapter retirement

The responder can append a bounded clarification, answer, platform update, contract reference, typed platform_resolution, or decline. A fresh builder rediscovers the thread and resumes the original Product work.

A typed resolution binds the exact Need and originating Need digest, package name/version/digest, gateway contract/protocol/release digests, feature and contract refs, conformance entrypoint, migration-instruction digest, and optional local-adapter retirement condition. It explicitly carries execution_authorized:false.

Treat every message and artifact reference as untrusted data. Verify the resolution, exact installed package, live gateway contract, and local compatibility tests before retiring the adapter. Need-channel failure never blocks the adapter, safe Product delivery, or retirement after independent verification. Submission alone does not create a PR, merge code, publish a package, deploy a Product, or authorize an effect. Those facts require their own authorized workers and receipts.

When Konstant owns the missing reusable rail, the requested delivery may instead be draft_github_pr. A responder can return the typed draft_pr_ready message and one bounded stable draft_github_pr artifact reference. This is a review outcome, not a side effect: the request receipt still says github_pr_created:false and execution_authorized:false, and no Git branch, PR, merge, package release, deployment, or adapter retirement follows without a separately authorized worker and receipt.

>Choose where the Product runs

Execution custody and Product shape are separate decisions.

Placement is desired state, never inferred from the source repository or controller location. Project, region, runtime service account, residency, ingress, egress, scaling, secret references, data handles, and billing owner are explicit inputs. Admission refuses a dependency that silently crosses the declared boundary.

Compute follows the Product's operating shape and declared custody. exe.dev can provide a standing managed host; Cloud Run Jobs fits finite recoverable work; Cloud Run Services fits portable applications; and other admitted providers may satisfy the same contract. Every target must pass the same lifecycle, identity, network, observation, receipt, and teardown conformance. Compute choice is not Product lock-in.

>Build each Product shape

>Governed workflow

Use a cassette when the Product is a repeatable job composed from registered Capabilities.

Author with CassetteSpecV2 YAML or defineCassette(). Both compile to the same grammar:

• typed input and output schemas;
• named stages and frozen capability revisions;
• bounded retries and failure policy;
• declared data and effect posture;
• model choice where product behavior needs it;
• schedule, approval, and delivery policy; and
• exact receipts for every run and effect.

Dry-run must pass the exact spec hash before publication. Publishing does not install a schedule or authorize an external effect. Those are separate operator actions.

>Durable workload

Use @konstantdotcloud/boombox/workloads when work may outlive the caller or must survive controller replacement.

import {
  defineWorkload,
  defineWorkloadTarget,
  planBoomboxWorkload,
  createBoomboxWorkloadControlClient,
} from '@konstantdotcloud/boombox/workloads';

The descriptor binds the immutable worker artifact, worker protocol, input/result/receipt contracts, cost cap, retry, retention, effects, and optional product-semantic admission. The target binds the selected account, provider project, region, residency, runtime identity, stores, and hosting/billing owner.

In connected MCP use, provide the Product target and omit Boombox's identity-derived fields. The selected account connection atomically supplies the internal account, path root, entitlement root, and placement host. A mismatch refuses before planning; a missing connection returns login --account. Direct SDK composition roots retain the exact canonical fields for verifiable plans and receipts.

Planning is local and performs no provider call. The authenticated client applies an exact plan, invokes one logical run, and reads or reattaches by logical run ID. Duplicate delivery, lost launch acknowledgement, controller death, stale fencing, terminal acknowledgement loss, wrong-account access, and regional violations belong in the workload's conformance proof.

For a subject-runtime reducer, prove the documented file contract with job run-local. A hosted reducer consumes the same boombox.job-input/v1 document through BOOMBOX_JOB_INPUT, writes the same canonical output through BOOMBOX_JOB_OUTPUT, and publishes boombox.job-output/v1 plus snapshots with derived content_type. A hosted run requires a host granted workload_runtime and an approved active workload revision. Admission refuses with typed codes including WORKLOAD_TARGET_NOT_APPROVED, WORKLOAD_RUNNER_UNSUPPORTED, WORKLOAD_IMAGE_NOT_APPROVED, and WORKLOAD_REVISION_NOT_ACTIVE; local reducer proof is not proof of a live hosted run.

>Portable application

Use @konstantdotcloud/boombox/apps for a frontend and product harness that should deploy together.

import {
  defineApplication,
  defineApplicationTarget,
  planBoomboxApplicationDeployment,
  runBoomboxApplicationQualificationVerifierConformance,
} from '@konstantdotcloud/boombox/apps';

The descriptor binds the immutable artifact, health and start commands, frontend Surface, harness, data and secret references, and any declared shadow intents. The target binds placement, connected-account identity, residency, ingress, egress, scaling, and, for a preview target, TTL and cost cap.

>Give your application end-user login

Declare end-user login on the application descriptor beside secrets and events. Keep the deployment on a bounded standing Cloud Run service:

const descriptor = defineApplication({
  // ...existing application fields...
  end_user_ingress: { mode: 'host_front_door', session_ttl_seconds: 28_800 },
  end_user_access: {
    allowed_orgs: ['workos:org_01EXAMPLE'],
    allowed_email_domains: ['example.com'],
    open_to_tenant: false,
  },
});

const target = defineApplicationTarget({
  // ...existing standing cloud_run_service target...
  scaling: { min_instances: 0, max_instances: 10, concurrency: 80 },
});

Use lowercase email domains and namespaced WorkOS organization references. Set open_to_tenant: true only when every user admitted to the Product account may enter the application. End-user ingress requires mode: 'host_front_door', a standing cloud_run_service, and an explicit scaling.max_instances from 1 through 1000. Boombox operates the login front door, hub callback, application serving origin or path fallback, browser session, IAM hop, DNS integration, and verification-key injection; the application builder does not configure those platform surfaces.

Verify every request, including the request that opens a long-lived stream:

import {
  BOOMBOX_END_USER_ASSERTION_HEADER,
  verifyBoomboxEndUserAssertionFromEnvironment,
} from '@konstantdotcloud/boombox/apps';

const assertion = request.headers.get(BOOMBOX_END_USER_ASSERTION_HEADER) ?? '';
const principal = await verifyBoomboxEndUserAssertionFromEnvironment(assertion);

The helper uses the injected public-key window and exact deployment-generation audience. Authorize the returned end user and acting_for mandate against Product-owned records. An organization mandate means Boombox observed an IdP org-admin/role claim or an explicit organization-consent step; membership alone never grants organization scope. Map its namespaced org_ref to a retained Product authorization record. tenant_id identifies the deploying estate and is never the authorization subject. Read routes may ignore jti; write routes atomically deduplicate it before the effect or require a fresh assertion.

For a tier-1 local loop, explicitly compose the development signer's public keys with the parameterized verifier:

import {
  createLocalDevelopmentEndUserSigner,
  verifyBoomboxEndUserAssertion,
} from '@konstantdotcloud/boombox/apps';

const signer = await createLocalDevelopmentEndUserSigner();
const assertion = await signer.mint(localClaims);
const principal = await verifyBoomboxEndUserAssertion(assertion, {
  verificationKeys: signer.verificationKeys,
  expectedAudience: localClaims.aud,
});

The signer generates its own throwaway P-256 keypair, forces assurance: 'local-development-only', and never reads injected material. Its assertions fail against real deployment keys and cannot represent platform verification.

A standing staging cloud_run_service resolves declared application secrets. The descriptor's secret_refs[] entry names a credential-free ref, residency class, region, and env_file; the operator stores the value in the application's cloud project and adds the matching application_runtime.secret_bindings[] host-manifest entry with kind: 'gcp_secret_manager', project, secret ID, residency class, and region. Apply selects the latest enabled numeric version, ensures secret-level access for the declared runtime service account, pins that version into a mounted file, and injects only the file path under env_file. The value does not enter the descriptor, image, environment, code, logs, receipts, or deployment hashes.

Rotation adds a value version, then runs boombox app refresh <deployment_id>. Refresh re-evaluates the active admitted revision and pins the new version without a descriptor or plan change; running revisions are never silently re-keyed. A missing binding returns APPLICATION_SECRET_BINDING_NOT_FOUND, an absent enabled value returns SECRET_MANAGER_VERSION_UNAVAILABLE, and a preview or boombox_vm target returns APPLICATION_SECRET_RESOLUTION_UNSUPPORTED with the standing staging cloud_run_service continuation.

The artifact's build attestation is an optional declared-together {attestation_ref, attestation_digest} pair. When present, the ref points to retrievable build-provenance bytes containing builder identity, source ref, and build inputs (SLSA-style), while the digest is the sha256 of exactly those bytes. Produce real values in the build pipeline—ideally from Cloud Build provenance—and never hand-mint them. Boombox records and pins the pair today but does not yet verify its content; verification arrives with the qualification lane. Automatic capture belongs to the app build verb lane.

In connected MCP use, omit the internal account identifier and placement host. Boombox compiles them from the selected account connection and refuses a supplied contradiction before planning.

Production Releases carry only an opaque {qualification_ref, qualification_digest} pair. The product owner keeps its eval records and evidence meaning. Before provider mutation, Boombox calls the selected account's authorized product verifier and requires a payload-free verification receipt bound to the exact account, target, policy, verifier release, artifact, manifest, and, when declared, attestation.

Application validate and plan are available to the developer kit. The package also exposes createBoomboxApplicationLifecycleClient; its apply, inspect, and retire methods use the host's /api/v2/applications/* routes. The export grants no authority: a developer-held credential cannot satisfy those routes, so compose it only under Product-account lifecycle authority. When that authority is unavailable, return the qualified plan and name the missing authority rather than fabricating a deployment.

Choose among three Cloud Run service shapes by traffic and latency promise: preview is disposable, requires a TTL and cost cap, and is swept after expiry; standing availability: 'on_demand' is durable with no expiry or preview budget, keeps scaling.min_instances at 0, and may cold-start on request; standing availability: 'always_on' (or an absent availability field) is durable with a warm floor of at least one instance. Both standing shapes use an exact staging cloud_run_service target in standing_targets[], keep the artifact under allowed_repository_roots, receive the same operation-credential, data-handle, secret, and peer bindings, and require standing_artifact_hosts only when a standing boombox_vm target is present. Admission refuses target, artifact, always-on-floor, and contradictory on-demand-floor drift before provider apply with APPLICATION_TARGET_NOT_APPROVED, APPLICATION_ARTIFACT_NOT_APPROVED, APPLICATION_STANDING_SCALING_NOT_ALWAYS_ON, or APPLICATION_ON_DEMAND_SCALING_NOT_SCALE_TO_ZERO.

>Existing MCP service

Use boombox mcp add to register a service for one tenant with an exact transport, explicit tool allowlist, secret reference, and immutable capability binding.

Registration is not qualification. Before broad activation, Boombox must verify the endpoint's identity, reviewed tool metadata, expiry/freshness, data and effect posture, and one accepted plus refused invocation. Arbitrary endpoint dialing remains disabled when the configured connector cannot enforce those controls.

>Existing HTTP service, library, or CLI

The onboarding skill first finds one deterministic, effect-free operation and wraps it behind a typed harness. The adapter keeps product semantics in the source repository and exposes only the contract Boombox needs.

A useful first slice proves:

• one real accepted input;
• one caller-visible refusal;
• stable output schema;
• no ambient credential or filesystem access;
• explicit network and effect policy;
• qualification before activation; and
• one tenant-bound invocation receipt.

The adapter becomes a reusable capability only after this proof. The model may generate glue and tests; it cannot declare the operation safe or activate it.

>Surfaces: UI, API, MCP, CLI, and agents

A Surface renders or invokes a Product contract. It does not become a new source of product logic or authority.

• A product-owned frontend may deploy beside its harness as one immutable application artifact.
• A public UI may read a sealed no-effect snapshot while sensitive evidence stays behind a private service.
• MCP exposes typed Capabilities to coding agents and company advocates.
• CLI and API clients use the same lifecycle and receipt contracts as the UI.
• Just-in-time operator widgets are closed component descriptions over existing typed state. They cannot author arbitrary routes, HTML, payloads, or grants.

This makes rapid customization practical: after a customer meeting, a product team can reuse its harness and Capabilities, shape a focused frontend, validate it against synthetic or authorized data, and deploy one exact Release without building another identity, job, receipt, or admin system.

>Model execution and Crossfade

Product code may request a model and thinking level for one call. Crossfade owns the route: provider, endpoint, credentials, gateway, fallback, and policy version. Callers cannot supply those transport fields.

The run receipt records the requested choice, selected model, provider route, thinking level, primary/fallback attempts, usage, and observed cost without exposing credentials. A scheduled run or replay uses the model selection frozen on that run rather than today's mutable default.

Flue executes the bounded agent session. It treats model identifiers as opaque and cannot silently switch provider protocol or credential source. Direct provider variables do not bypass Crossfade for a managed route.

>Evaluation and capability learning

Start with the Product's existing local test, harness, eval, human review, or business-outcome system. Import the common contract from @konstantdotcloud/boombox/evaluations when portable lineage is useful; do not replace the runner. Its adapter records only facts it really knows and maps them to evaluation Subject, Claim, Case and Case set, Context binding, Configuration, Execution, Observation, Judgment, Outcome, Comparison, and owner Decision. The record joins exact Project, Product, Capability, Surface, Release, Deployment, and Run identities. Receipt and relationship context stays in the Product's immutable Context, Observation, Decision, or namespaced-extension references; v1 does not pretend those are additional core lineage slots.

A case-level record binds a present Case and the real Case Set for its declared claim. A genuinely standalone episode uses a singleton set with denominator one; a case within a predeclared suite may bind that exact wider population, while each Observation keeps its own honest denominator. The case record alone does not establish route, selector, causal, cohort, or population performance. Such a claim uses a separate granularity:'aggregate' record with case: {state:'absent', reason:'not_applicable'} and the complete decision population. If that population is not recorded, preserve an explicit unknown denominator or return a typed incomplete mapping; never substitute a convenient singleton, mix populations, invent a synthetic suite case, or report selected successes as the population. Derive a present JSON reference from the real verified value with createBoomboxEvaluationJsonReference(). If a mandatory source record does not exist, return a typed nonblocking mapping_incomplete continuation instead of manufacturing a URI or digest.

Capture progresses in three explicit levels:

1. Local evaluation. local_only keeps the sealed record in repository or owner-cloud custody. The adapter can call tryRecordBoomboxEvaluation() to append it to the private ignored local journal without allowing journal failure to replace the Product result. This is the default and is enough for the first hour.
2. Payload-free service fact. When the developer credential grants evaluation.fact, the platform description reports improvement.evaluation_atlas.service_fact_transport:'available_with_evaluation.fact_grant', and the owner opts in, tryCompileEvaluationServiceFactFromLocalEvaluation() derives the transient attachment variant internally and returns only a bounded operational discovery fact from the canonical sealed local evaluation, exact local profile, and verified project attachment. It cannot carry the rich evaluation envelope, Claim, Case, Context, Configuration, Observation, Judgment, Outcome, Decision, extension, diagnostic trace, source path, or payload. Its source occurrence time is reduced to a UTC-hour bucket. It is not Product evidence, qualification, or promotion authority. The public createBoomboxDeveloperWorkspaceEvaluationServiceFactClient() uses the current builder-workspace login internally, pins server receipts to that workspace, and performs authenticated append/get/list under the narrow evaluation.fact grant without exposing the bearer to Product code. Trusted service/CI composition roots may use the lower-level createBoomboxEvaluationServiceFactClient({base_url, authorize}) authority port. tryDeliverBoomboxEvaluationServiceFact() first persists the exact fact in the private local outbox; tryResumeBoomboxEvaluationServiceFactDelivery() recovers a dropped response by reading the deterministic bbevf_* identity with the stored historical attachment binding before it considers one exact append. listPendingBoomboxEvaluationServiceFactOutboxEntries() lets a fresh context rediscover pending work. If the verified attachment advances before acceptance, compile the same semantic record against the new receipt and call tryRebindBoomboxEvaluationServiceFactDelivery(). It preserves the historical probe, permits a same-project successor only after exact typed NOT_FOUND, and retains immutable lineage so acceptance of either version resolves recovery. There is no background retry loop. Delivery results report product_work_blocked:false; the Product adapter catches journal, compile, and pending-list errors separately so none can replace the Product result.
3. Granted learning. learning_grant_ref requests rich connected capture. A local reference is never authority; the connected service must verify the effective grant for the exact purpose, destination, fields, retention, residency, and reuse before accepting a rich record. The capture grant remains distinct from product_learning_authority_ref; neither substitutes for the other. The grant policy's required service_fact boolean independently keeps or declines the payload-free lane while rich authorization is evaluated.

Builder-workspace usage events have a server-enforced 90-day TTL. Payload-free evaluation service facts currently have no TTL. This is a storage fact, not permission for indefinite learning or reuse; richer capture must ship with explicit retention, deletion, legal-hold, and derived-use behavior.

Product owners control their domain schemas, cases, graders, floors, models, evidence meaning, extensions, research, outcomes, and every qualify/promote/rollback/retire decision. Namespaced extensions add Product meaning without redefining the core identity, authority, provenance, custody, lifecycle, or evaluation fields.

When company, repository, retrieval, conversation, relationship, operational, or evidence context affects a result, a Context binding names the exact authorized class, immutable reference/digest, freshness, scope, and custody. It carries no raw transcript, prompt, source, customer row, payload, or evidence bytes and grants no read authority. An attached Product-builder project may bind its opaque attachment/profile digest to builder-workspace evaluation lineage; the attachment still grants no tenant or execution authority.

The optional Capability Experience Graph connects discovery, proposal, qualification, grant, invocation, refusal, fulfillment, cost, evidence, evaluation, correction, and later outcome. Advocate agents can use that history to explain where a Capability helped and suggest the smallest owner-controlled evaluation that reduces uncertainty. Invocation is not proof of success, and an evaluation suggestion is not qualification.

Evaluation capture, Chronicle, company context, research, telemetry, and learning are independent enhancements. Unavailable, declined, or failed capture never blocks an otherwise safe validation, plan, deployment, Run, inspection, or retirement. Use a connected operation only when boombox_platform_describe advertises its exact contract and the authenticated identity has the required authority or learning grant.

The installed skill includes references/evaluation-ontology.md, and the MCP exposes it as boombox://developer/evaluations. Invoke the MCP prompt boombox_map_existing_evaluations to identify the best existing runner, source records, honest absent fields, Product extension, accepted path, refusal, and nonblocking ablation. Evaluation authoring is an SDK contract plus this guidance prompt. The MCP exposes no rich-evaluation append, mutate, qualify, or promote tools; the optional connected lane in this cohort is the payload-free service-fact SDK client. Jest, Vitest, Pytest, Promptfoo, a custom harness, human review, or a business-outcome system remains the runner and semantic authority.

>Reopen a program and prepare learning material

If the Product already has a research or ablation program_id, keep it. The Product owns the append-only scientific DAG: hypotheses, cases, parallel arms, joins, evidence meaning, outcomes, comparisons, and decisions. Boombox's planned Program Projection is only a tenant-scoped index over immutable Program, Evaluation, Run, Release, Configuration, receipt, and freshness refs. It will let a fresh builder search and reopen the work or reattach an active Run without becoming a second experiment store. Program access and current evidence/data-handle resolution remain separate operations. Until the projection is advertised, local Product reopen remains the supported path and the skill can return one typed Need.

A current lightweight ablation record that may carry raw inputs/outputs and lacks stable evidentiary identity remains Product development evidence. Project only its immutable artifact reference as an Observation using BOOMBOX_EVALUATION_COMPONENT_CONFORMANCE_OBSERVATION_KEY; it is not preregistered, causal, qualification-eligible, or training-eligible evidence. Material work freezes and contextually verifies the Product's real experiment spec and immutable experiment record. Record kind alone grants no Atlas, qualification, promotion, or training eligibility; durable Run composition remains a separate advertised lifecycle integration.

Model training starts only after the Product deliberately creates an owner-labeled example. The optional production chain is:

Product Program Event
  -> Product-labeled Learning Example
  -> purpose- and grant-bound Learning Corpus View
  -> immutable selected-plus-excluded Corpus Manifest
  -> durable Training Run and model candidate
  -> Product evals/floors
  -> Product promotion, refusal, or no-decision

A Run, trace, receipt, service fact, program event, exclusion reason, or missing outcome is not automatically a training label. The Product owns feature/label schemas, maturation, restatement, eligibility, model code, evals, floors, and promotion. Raw data and complete manifests stay in declared custody. Common identity and lineage make authorized examples joinable, but an owner-published compatibility artifact—never a matching label string—decides whether different Product/customer examples may share a corpus. Leakage groups can bind tenant, program, episode, case, source, entity, and time so related examples cannot cross train/eval/test. These connected program/corpus services are planned progressive enhancements; their absence does not change deployment or Product execution.

>Approval and external effects

Read-only local computation does not need approval. Refuse only the unsafe operation when it would cross a real tenant-data, secret, provider-mutation, external-effect, billing, publication, or promotion boundary without the required authority. Every refusal names the exact missing grant, input, or adapter and the smallest concrete way to continue safely. Optional context, evaluation, research, telemetry, or return-channel failures never become such a gate.

Approval closes over one immutable action packet: exact bytes, recipient, channel, effect, expiry, policy, and commercial terms. Editing any of those facts creates a new packet.

Keep these states separate:

1. computation completed;
2. exact artifact candidate authorized;
3. restricted artifact created;
4. review approved, held, or rerun; and
5. external delivery completed.

A completed calculation may legitimately wait for artifact authorization. The platform must not call the calculation failed or pretend a delivery happened.

>Operating a Boombox

>Company operations console

The company operations console is the deep operating view for one authorized Product account. It projects Products, Deployments, Runs, schedules, approvals, artifacts, capabilities, evidence, replay, cost, people, policy, audit, and developer Needs from authoritative contracts.

Every action calls a separately authorized route. A rendered button never creates authority.

>Konstant fleet cockpit

The fleet cockpit answers which enrolled Boomboxes are healthy, stale, drifting, failing, or expensive. It carries payload-free health, version, placement, lifecycle, freshness, and observed-cost facts. It does not carry product payloads, prompts, source rows, artifact bytes, credentials, tenant-admin authority, shell access, retry authority, or charge authority.

Deep support enters a narrower audited tenant session. One private management contract can feed both the tenant console and fleet projection without opening a universal admin backdoor or requiring a literal public management port.

>Run workbench

The run workbench is the surgical debugging surface for one logical execution:

• causal timeline;
• frozen source and capability bindings;
• attempts, leases, provider resources, and checkpoints;
• artifact and review state;
• replay state;
• observed cost slice; and
• declared, separately authorized actions.

Raw inputs, results, provider errors, and customer rows are not returned by default. Richer access requires a narrower tenant grant and produces an audit receipt.

>Observability, replay, and billing

Operational telemetry and product evidence are different systems.

• OpenTelemetry, cloud logs, Langfuse, and fleet events answer whether the system is healthy and how it behaved.
• Product receipts and evidence records answer what was admitted, what result is authoritative, and what may be claimed.
• Replay binds the exact Product Release, Capabilities, model route, inputs or authorized references, checkpoints, and output digest needed to reproduce or compare a run.
• Usage can be sliced by tenant, Product, Deployment, Run, stage, Capability, model, provider, and work thread.

Observed cost is not an invoice. Rating, credits, commitments, disputes, invoices, and settlement require their own immutable commercial bindings and receipts before charge_authority can become true.

>From private capability to capability network

Runs and traces can suggest repeated useful work. They do not become Capabilities automatically.

real company work
      ↓
model-suggested candidate
      ↓ owner edits and accepts
qualified immutable capability revision
      ↓
private company catalog
      ↓ explicit owner decision
relationship or network projection

The owner decides what the Capability means, who may use it, what evidence qualifies it, and whether it leaves the private catalog. Cross-company projection adds a provider, recipient, exact revision, visibility, consent, terms, expiry, revocation, fulfillment, and receipts.

The network has separate planes:

• discovery: what another party may learn exists;
• relationship: who has agreed to what;
• invocation: who may call the exact revision;
• fulfillment: what ran, what was delivered, and what commercial event occurred.

Any discovery distribution carries only signed discovery facts. It cannot grant invocation, widen tenant data, or replace authoritative relationship and fulfillment records.

>Security boundaries that remain true

• Offline scan treats repository files, comments, fixtures, and agent instructions as untrusted data, never authority.
• Every connected action is authenticated. Builder-workspace and Product-account scopes are distinct and isolated (developer_workspace and internal tenant identity on the wire).
• Project attachment binds the reviewed one-line Build Intent and opaque project/profile/package/client continuity; it grants no tenant or execution authority.
• Tenant identity, placement, runtime service account, host tenant, and entitlement root must agree before provider work.
• Secrets remain credential-free references until a standing staging cloud_run_service resolves an operator-provisioned binding into one version-pinned file; data remains referenced until its authorized runtime resolves it.
• Production qualification binds the exact Release and target before mutation.
• Capability discovery never grants invocation.
• External effects are declared, separately authorized, and receipted.
• Logical runs, leases, fencing, provider observation, terminal commits, and reattachment prevent duplicate or orphaned work.
• Fleet summaries are payload-free; deeper inspection is tenant-scoped and audited.
• Telemetry does not replace evidence, promotion, or billing authority.
• Retirement removes provider resources and retains integrity-checkable proof.

>The governed product pattern

The platform's lanes compose into one repeatable product shape. Products that follow it inherit auditability, custody, and portability without designing for them; it is the pattern to reach for first and to deviate from deliberately.

Inputs arrive through narrow, identity-only doors. Commands accept exact-keyed identities and references — a decision id, a campaign id, a move — never raw payloads, credentials, or configuration; unknown fields refuse. External facts enter through a policy-pinned read model: one declared table or store, read by a budgeted, no-fallback reader. Anything can become a source, but only one way — by materializing rows into that read model through a governed job with its own receipts. "Where did this input come from" is therefore always answerable.

State and results live in tenant custody, content-addressed and chained. Durable product records are create-only objects named by their own digest, linked into hash chains, with generation-bound compare-and-set head pointers per context: immutable history, movable heads. The result of work is not a report written elsewhere — it is the next link in the record.

Results leave through the same door shapes they entered. Consumers use the product's own read commands (identities in, records out), authorized reads of custody, an exported ledger, and platform events. An event announces that something advanced — identities and digests only — and the consumer fetches through its own authority. Nothing content-bearing rides a notification.

The platform supplies the seams; the product supplies the meaning. Deployment, secrets, peer identity, developer access, operations, and events are platform lanes; read-model semantics, scoring, and judgment are the product's alone. A product that keeps this split can run locally, on the tenant's cloud, or in another estate without changing what it means.

>Calling a private application

A private application is reachable only through its platform's own authorization; the host never opens it to the network. On a Cloud Run target that means the caller presents a platform identity token whose audience is the application's URL, and the host has granted that caller's runtime identity the invoker role on that exact service.

When the application also authenticates its own callers, the two authorities travel in two headers. The platform claims Authorization for its identity token and forwards it to the container, so an application that reads its own bearer from Authorization never sees it and correctly refuses. Send the platform identity token in X-Serverless-Authorization and the application's own credential in Authorization.

Nothing changes when the same application runs locally, which is exactly where this catches people: a developer tests without platform authorization, deploys behind it, and meets the discontinuity for the first time in a deployed environment. Document the split in the application's own README as well as here.

The same shape holds for a peer call between two applications. The platform identity token satisfies the network boundary; the host-minted peer assertion (x-boombox-peer-assertion) carries application authority. Neither substitutes for the other, and a call that arrives with only one of them must be refused rather than served.

To develop locally against a live callee, its owner declares the developer's exact user:<email> or serviceAccount:<email> Google principal in peer_ingress.developer_invokers and applies the iam_invoker_federation target. The developer runs boombox app dev-token <application_id>, then sends X-Serverless-Authorization: Bearer <output of gcloud auth print-identity-token --audiences=<app url>> and x-boombox-peer-assertion: <dev-token output> on each call. The first header crosses Cloud Run IAM; the short-lived host-signed assertion attributes application authority as sub: developer:<key_id> with subject_kind: developer. An undeclared developer member remains IAM drift, and a callee with no declaration refuses token minting.

>Current product boundaries

These are capability boundaries, not hidden workarounds:

• Application validation, planning, verifier conformance, and the lifecycle client are available. Application lifecycle routes still require Product-account authority that a developer-held credential does not grant.
• Declared application secrets are supported on the standing staging cloud_run_service lane. Preview and boombox_vm return the typed standing-lane continuation; direct ambient store reads remain an application-owned, non-portable fallback rather than a per-application Boombox isolation boundary.
• Durable workload control is available for admitted hosts and targets; every new provider/region still needs the conformance proof appropriate to its policy.
• Cassette authoring, publication, execution, scheduling, approval, artifact handling, and receipts are available for admitted tenant runtimes.
• Existing MCP registration is available; generic arbitrary-endpoint qualification and automatic HTTP→MCP activation are not assumed.
• Private Capability admission exists. Cross-company discovery, terms, fulfillment, and commercial settlement must be enabled as explicit relationship features.
• Observed usage and cost exist. Invoicing and settlement remain separate authority.
• Platform Need resolution remains coordination only; no branch, PR, merge, package, deployment, or effect exists without its own authorized worker and receipt.
• The common evaluation envelope, local journal, payload-free compiler, durable outbox, and authenticated service-fact append/get/list client are available. Rich connected evaluation capture, Learning Grants, Build Chronicle, the owner workbench, and the Capability Experience Graph remain separate later capabilities.

When a required connected feature is absent, the developer kit returns the exact validated plan or bounded local adapter and the smallest safe continuation. It may offer a Platform Need when the return channel is available and useful. It does not fabricate infrastructure, bypass the shared lifecycle, or stop useful product work that can proceed safely.

>What counts as done

A supported Product path has:

• one real useful accepted path;
• one caller-visible refusal;
• authenticated identity and connected-account authority where required;
• exact Release, Capability, and target binding;
• idempotent apply or invocation;
• recovery after controller or worker loss;
• inspect and reattach from a fresh session;
• durable result and lifecycle receipts;
• bounded logs, telemetry, and cost attribution;
• clean retirement or retention behavior;
• security tests for cross-scope and regional access; and
• developer and operator instructions that a new team member can follow without internal history.

That is the standard for production software on Boombox. The slice may be narrow; the supported claim is not vague.
