Status: Draft 1.0 — Forward-looking specification and gap analysis.
This document is not a reverse-engineering report and is not a claim that the reference implementation already satisfies every requirement. It defines the target architecture for a production-grade, provider-neutral Semantic Execution System (SES), identifies the capabilities that remain to be specified or developed, and gives concrete acceptance criteria for future implementations.
The reference implementation may be used as an informative experiment, but the standard is the authority. Where the implementation and this specification differ, the implementation is considered incomplete until it is brought into conformance or the standard is deliberately amended.
Normative terms MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, and MAY have their usual standards meaning.
Execution IR is the last provider-neutral representation before physical compilation. It MUST be explicit enough that a provider cannot reinterpret the semantic operation.
The IR MUST carry or reference:
The future standard needs a formal IR type system and validation model. Otherwise providers can receive structurally valid but semantically underspecified instructions.
It also needs explicit handling of secrets, opaque values, user-defined functions, nondeterminism, external calls, and side effects.
Define a versioned IR schema, verifier, canonical serialization, capability negotiation, type system, side-effect classification, and IR fuzzing suite.
No provider may receive an IR artifact that has not passed semantic, authorization, resource, and provenance validation.
