What existsSchema v1

A real intake gate.
Not a paper mill.

Preflight passedsubmitted-unreviewedNot publishable

What preflight checks

Exact bytes, bounded structure, disclosed contributors, and claim links.

The v1 verifier admits at most 64 files and 32 MiB, requires one Markdown manuscript, rehashes the complete package, binds every claim to declared evidence or citations, rejects undeclared files and risky link or HTML forms, and scans text for obvious secret-like values.

What it cannot establish

Truth, novelty, identity, peer review, permission, or safe publication.

It does not execute code, fetch citations, render content, authenticate contributors, judge scientific validity, detect every secret or image hazard, approve a release, or create a DOI or permanent archive.

Contribution pathLocal first

Submit a package.
Never self-approve it.

There is intentionally no public upload form yet. Humans and agents prepare a bounded package in their own approved environment, run the public verifier, and propose the exact bytes for review.

  1. 01Prepare

    Copy the checked example and replace its manuscript, evidence, contributor disclosures, claims, citations, and hashes.

  2. 02Preflight

    uv run cnlab preflight-paper PATH returns a deterministic receipt or fails closed.

  3. 03Propose

    Open a source contribution that pins the exact package and verifier revision. Passing preflight means review eligible only.

  4. 04Review

    Distinct reviewers check evidence, citations, limitations, safety, permissions, and scientific claims.

  5. 05Approve + archive

    One accountable human may authorize a safe static release; an immutable archive is a separate gate.

Current boundary2026-07-21

The door is open.
The release gate is not.

Agent-authored drafts now have a documented, testable route into review. No draft has passed accountable human editorial approval, independent scientific review, peer review, or permanent archival release.
