Primitive ID: PRIM-004
Package: @verifrax/limenward
Binary: limenward
Verifrax primitive — boundary enforcement primitive for deterministic irreversible systems.
Current release status: pre-stable primitive release line.
Canonical release target:
package version: 0.1.0
tag: v0.1.0
LIMENWARD is part of the Verifrax primitive layer and follows the canonical primitive governance, naming, version, and packaging rules.
LIMENWARD enforces deterministic boundaries after origin, custody, and time have already been fixed.
Once an artifact has a stable origin, preserved custody, and explicit time boundary, the system still needs a deterministic threshold between what is inside the valid operating boundary and what is outside it. LIMENWARD exists to make that boundary explicit, enforceable, and non-ambiguous.
It does not establish origin. It does not preserve custody. It does not fix temporal order. It does not verify correctness. It does not witness, judge, or terminate. Its role is narrower: enforce boundary conditions for downstream interpretation and action.
- enforces a deterministic boundary surface around an artifact or state
- distinguishes in-boundary from out-of-boundary conditions
- emits boundary-governed output suitable for downstream primitives
- does not establish first origin
- does not preserve custody continuity
- does not fix temporal ordering
- does not verify correctness
- does not witness or attest
- does not judge validity
- does not terminate lifecycle
Invocation model:
executable: limenward
package: @verifrax/limenward
runtime: CLI-first
The primitive operates on an artifact whose origin, custody, and time surfaces are already fixed.
If the boundary conditions are absent, ambiguous, or non-deterministic, LIMENWARD must not fabricate a stable in-boundary result.
Exit codes:
0 — boundary enforcement completed successfully
non-zero — invocation failed or contract violated
Install:
npm install -g @verifrax/limenward
Execute:
limenward artifact.json
stdin example:
cat artifact.json | limenward
For identical canonical input, LIMENWARD must produce identical boundary-enforcement output.
No hidden environmental state may influence the result.
LIMENWARD assumes an already-bounded origin, custody, and time surface and does not substitute for those earlier primitives or for downstream verification and judgment.
LIMENWARD protects against ambiguity in operational or semantic boundary enforcement.
Its security value is to prevent silent drift between allowed and disallowed states once prior primitive conditions are fixed. It does not guarantee correctness, attestation, or irreversible judgment.
