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.
Tests MUST be capable of detecting a broken implementation even when the same bug exists in the implementation’s helper utilities.
Use independent expected graphs, reference fixtures, a deliberately simple reference planner, alternate providers, algebraic properties, canonical serialization, and explicit security invariants.
The standard SHOULD maintain a portable fixture containing multiple tenants, ownership, aliases, ambiguous terms, relationships of different cardinalities, nullable fields, protected data, mutations, aggregates, recursive paths, and provider capability differences.
The current testing concept needs stronger metamorphic testing. Future tests should generate a request and then apply transformations that should or should not preserve results, authority, cost bounds, or provenance.
The suite MUST inject:
Every security-critical test MUST state why its oracle is independent of the code path being tested.
