Intelligence Layer · Beta

The operational memory layer
for serious AI work.

Flight Recorder captures what AI did. Memory Receipts seal what AI said. The Intelligence Layer links them: deterministic, local-first, provable.

Architecture

Two layers. One proof continuum.

Flight Recorder and Memory Receipts are independent subsystems with independent proof chains. The Intelligence Layer adds a lightweight reference graph that links them, with no embeddings, no semantic AI, no cloud.

FLIGHT RECORDER

What AI Did

  • Every tool call recorded
  • Deterministic replay
  • Causality graph
  • Governance findings
  • Dangerous op detection
  • Forensic seal (proof_id)
  • Cinematic Replay Studio
↕ Intelligence Bridge ↕
MEMORY RECEIPTS

What AI Said

  • Advice, decisions, insights
  • SHA-256 proof chain
  • Local vault
  • Offline verifier bundle
  • Search (keyword/tag/date)
  • Export ZIP bundles
  • Capture levels 0–2
Flight Recorder proof_id = fr-proof-8f2a1b3c4d5e6f7a… (SHA-256 Merkle)
Memory Receipt proof_id = mr-proof-a3f8c12de901… (SHA-256 chain)
Intelligence link = MR-a3f8c12de901 ↔ ses-8f2a1b3c4d5e (linked_at, deterministic)
authoritative_for_wiw = false (on all outputs)
Operational Workflow

From replay event to sealed memory.

Every step in the Intelligence Layer workflow is deterministic, local, and reversible. Nothing leaves your machine.

01

AI session runs

Flight Recorder captures every tool call, file write, and governance finding in an append-only hash chain.

→
02

Session sealed

Session is sealed with a proof_id (SHA-256 Merkle over all event hashes). Replay Studio generated.

→
03

Receipt sealed

You seal an important AI insight as a Memory Receipt: advice, decision, or dangerous-op block.

→
04

Link created

vai memory link-replay MR-xxx --session ses-yyy writes a deterministic reference to links.json.

→
05

Evidence exported

Export bundle includes relationship_manifest.json: all linked session refs, verifiable offline.

Intelligence Timeline

Every decision. Every session. Every proof.

The unified timeline shows Memory Receipts and Flight Recorder events together. Click any card to inspect the proof linkage.

Select a card to inspect its proof chain and replay links.
Linkage Graph

Sessions linked to receipts.

The local reference graph shows which Memory Receipts were created from which Flight Recorder sessions. No embeddings. No semantic AI. Pure deterministic lineage.

CLI Demo

Three new commands. One unified workflow.

Try the Intelligence Layer CLI commands interactively. Enter any IDs. The demo runs locally.

Guarantees

Everything stays on your machine.

The Intelligence Layer inherits every invariant from both subsystems.

[G1] LOCAL

links.json

The reference graph lives in your vault at ~/.verifaier/memory_receipts/links.json. Plain JSON. Editable. Version-controllable.

[G2] DETERMINISTIC

No semantic AI

Links are explicit references you create. No embeddings, no cosine similarity, no LLM inference. Deterministic in, deterministic out.

[G3] PROOF-SAFE

Proof chains untouched

Adding a link never modifies the receipt or session proof chain. Links are metadata. Receipts remain cryptographically sealed.

[G4] OFFLINE

Export bundles

ZIP exports include relationship_manifest.json when links exist. The full evidence package is verifiable offline, years later.

[G5] IDEMPOTENT

Re-link is safe

Linking the same (receipt_id, session_id) pair again replaces the existing entry, no duplicates, no corruption.

[G6] ADVISORY

authoritative_for_wiw=false

All Intelligence Layer outputs are advisory evidence. Links prove lineage pointers exist. They do not prove truth or authorship.
