Nissa

13.6 Nissa — Observer and Source Desk

Responsibilities

  • observe the host and insertion regions;
  • produce ablated-path telemetry for growth decisions;
  • compute typed activation, gradient, spectral, temporal and task diagnostics;
  • perform neutral normalisation, alignment, validity masking and stable feature construction;
  • bind every observation to the exact host state and Tolaria snapshot;
  • attach provenance and normalisation manifests;
  • publish the same canonical observation independently to Narset and Momir;
  • provide only permitted coarse summaries to Tamiyo;
  • and emit stable, versioned TelemetryEnvelope records.

Invariants

  • Nissa observations do not mutate host gradients or training state.
  • Germination context is measured without the contribution being diagnosed or replaced.
  • Narset and Momir receive the same observation_id, not separately interpreted records.
  • Every derived signal includes provenance and normalisation semantics.
  • Task-specific information is included only when the experiment permits it.
  • Nissa does not infer an editorial conclusion for either consumer.

Forbidden authority

Nissa must not emit:

  • should_grow;
  • deficit_type as a prescriptive class;
  • recommended_structure;
  • candidate rankings;
  • admission recommendations;
  • lifecycle actions;
  • or maintenance verdicts.

Smell

If Nissa captions the photograph with the answer it is supposed to prove, observation has become policy.
