C-368 · PR 2 — GII thresholds aligned to canon

Repo: kaizencycle/OAA-API-Library · Branch: core/oaa-gii-canon-c368 · Tier: EP-3 (mint governance) · Priority: 2

1. Summary

Live /api/learning/system-status reports thresholds that contradict constitutional constants:

Threshold Live service Canon
Circuit breaker GII < 0.60 GI < 0.85
Reward floor — (healthy: 0.90) GI ≥ 0.90
Full-rate mint gate — GI ≥ 0.95 (sustained 5 cycles)

The service would keep minting through conditions canon says must trip the breaker.

2. Changes

  1. Threshold config becomes: circuit_breaker: 0.85, reward_floor: 0.90, mint_gate: 0.95, warning_band: [0.85, 0.90).
  2. Behavior mapping: GII < 0.85 → minting halted (breaker). 0.85–0.90 → minting halted, status warning (below reward floor). 0.90–0.95 → minting enabled at reduced gii_multiplier. ≥ 0.95 → full rate, and the sustained 5 cycles condition applies to the full-rate gate if cycle history is available; if not tracked yet, log a TODO and enforce instantaneous ≥ 0.95 as the interim gate — never weaker.
  3. /api/learning/system-status response names the canon source: "threshold_source": "Mobius-Substrate constitutional constants".

3. Explicitly out of scope — flagged for canon

The five-domain vs. three-domain GI formula conflict determines what the GII number means; this PR only aligns the thresholds applied to it. Formula resolution remains a prerequisite for DWE spec work and requires seal quorum, not a service PR.

4. Acceptance criteria

  • system-status shows the four canon thresholds.
  • Simulated GII 0.84 → minting_enabled: false, breaker tripped.
  • Simulated GII 0.92 → minting enabled, multiplier < 1.0.

justification:
  VALUES INVOKED: integrity, transparency, accountability, safety
  REASONING: Production config has drifted from constitutional constants: the live breaker
    (0.60) is far below canon (0.85). Threshold drift in the mint governor is
    constitutional drift, not a tuning preference.
  ANCHORS:
    - Mobius-Substrate/docs/epicon/EPICON-02.md (IPDP v1.0.0)
    - Mobius-Substrate/docs/specs/EPICON_TIERING_SPEC_v0.1.md (canonized PR #357)
  BOUNDARIES: Threshold values and their behavior mapping only. Does not resolve the
    five-vs-three domain GI formula, does not touch the DWE proposal, does not
    change reward amounts.
  COUNTERFACTUAL: If canon constants are re-ratified to different values by seal quorum,
    this configuration follows canon, not the reverse.
counterfactuals:
  - If the stricter breaker halts minting in normal operation, investigate the GII inputs — do not lower the threshold
  - If sustained-5-cycle tracking proves infeasible this cycle, keep instantaneous 0.95 gate and open a follow-up
  - If formula resolution changes GII semantics, re-validate thresholds in a new intent
