Project Phoenix Sovereign

Architecting an autonomous agent loop (OODA) that can detect and repair its own bugs.

Every system we’ve built; the vault, the sentinel, and the swarm, culminates here. We are granting the Orchestrator the ability to perform a Self-Healing OODA Loop.

A sovereign system is one that can maintain its own integrity when no one is watching.

Intent

You will implement the Phoenix Protocol, a recursive OODA loop that monitors system logs for errors and autonomously triggers the Refactor Surgeon to fix them.

Background

If a deployment fails, if a query hallucinates, or if the logic drifts, the Phoenix doesn’t wait for a human. It observes the failure, orients itself with the vault, decides on a fix, and acts to repair its own logic.


The OODA Loop

Observe, Orient, Decide, Act is the heartbeat of tactical autonomy. It turns a static script into a living process.

OODA Loop

  1. Observe: The Phoenix monitors the production_call logs for exceptions or logic mismatches.
  2. Orient: It retrieves the Sovereign Pattern for that specific module from the semantic vault.
  3. Decide: It compares the failing code with the retrieved truth and decides on a surgical fix.
  4. Act: It executes the Refactor Surgeon to apply the fix and redeploy.

Governance & Safety

True sovereignty requires a moral compass. Even a self-healing AI must operate within the safety thresholds we forged earlier.

The Phoenix Constraints

  • Human-in-the-Loop: For high-risk repairs (e.g., database schema changes), the Phoenix must observe but wait for a human decide handshake.
  • Audit Logging: Every self-repair must be logged in the sentinel network so the creator can trace the evolution.
  • Rollback Capability: If a self-fix fails, the Phoenix must be able to revert to the previous stable-state.

Phoenix Protocol

We combine our Sentinel and Refactor Surgeon into a single self-correcting loop.

  1. The Log Observer
    Create a function that scans error logs or execution tracebacks for failures.

  2. Self-Diagnosis
    The AI analyzes the error and queries the vault for the correct logic.

  3. Autonomous Repair
    The Phoenix calls the tactical_refactor function and attempts to re-run the task.

phoenix.py
import os
from refactor import tactical_refactor
from production import production_call
def phoenix_protocol(error_traceback, failing_file):
print(f"Phoenix: System failure detected in {failing_file}.")
# 1. Orient: Understand the failure
diagnosis_prompt = f"Analyze this error: {error_traceback}. What is the logic gap?"
diagnosis = production_call(diagnosis_prompt)
# 2. Decide & Act: Trigger the Refactor Surgeon
print("Phoenix: Initiating self-repair...")
repaired_code = tactical_refactor(failing_file)
# 3. Verify: Re-establish system integrity
with open(failing_file, 'w') as f:
f.write(repaired_code)
print(f"Phoenix: System restored. Integrity re-established.")
# Simulation: A failing call triggers the Phoenix
try:
# Trigger a simulated failure
raise ValueError("Logic mismatch in Sovereign Vault retrieval.")
except Exception as e:
phoenix_protocol(str(e), "sentinel.py")

Conclusion

By implementing the Phoenix Sovereign pattern, you have moved from managing AI to governing an autonomous entity. Your system is now capable of rising from its own errors, ensuring that the forge never goes cold.

Rise, Phoenix. The mission is yours.
