Widen calibration binding from PHASE_ABCDEF_PRIMITIVES (25) to PHASE_ABCDEFG_PRIMITIVES (28 hard). Three Phase G primitives that emit on any session-with-commands ride the hard gate: * operational.opsec_discipline * operational.cleanup_behavior * emotional_valence.stress_response The remaining five Phase G primitives ride a new PHASE_G_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES because their sample-size floors make them legitimately absent from short shards: * operational.objective (≥ 3 classified commands) * operational.multi_actor_indicators (≥ 8 commands) * emotional_valence.arousal (typing bursts) * emotional_valence.valence (≥ 80 typed letters) * emotional_valence.frustration_venting (≥ 30 typed letters) Backwards-compat alias PHASE_ABCDEF_PRIMITIVES kept. Phase G completion log + checkbox flips in BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md. Tier-A corpus delta: all 37 Tier-A primitives now emit. Phase H (full-corpus lockdown + v0 release) is next.

BEHAVE-SHELL Extraction Engine — Implementation Route
Status: pre-implementation. Sibling to BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md.
Scope: the inside of decnet/profiler/behave_shell/. Nothing else.
Acceptance gate: the five-class calibration grid in
BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md §"Calibration grid IS the regression test."
This doc is the construction manual for the engine. The integration doc says what the engine plugs into; this doc says how to build it from zero to v0 in a deterministic sequence.
Mission
Take an asciinema-style PTY event stream for one session, return an
Iterable[Observation] of BEHAVE-SHELL primitives. Pure library:
no I/O, no bus, no DB. Worker owns those.
def extract_session(
events: Iterable[AsciinemaEvent], # [t_float, kind: 'i'|'o', data: str]
*,
sid: str,
source: str = "decnet/profiler/behave_shell/extract.py",
) -> Iterable[Observation]:
AsciinemaEvent is a 3-tuple (t, kind, data) matching the on-disk
shard line format. No fancy class — a tuple is honest about what it is.
Single-pass discipline
A naïve engine re-walks the event stream once per primitive, paying O(n × primitives) for nothing. We don't do that.
Single pass over events builds a SessionContext — a precomputed
bundle of indexes that every feature module reads from. Cheap; one
walk; reproducible.
@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class SessionContext:
sid: str
source: str
evidence_ref: str
t_start: float
t_end: float
duration_s: float
# Raw event slices (already filtered by kind)
input_events: tuple[InputEvent, ...] # ('i', t, data)
output_events: tuple[OutputEvent, ...] # ('o', t, data)
# Derived once, used everywhere
iats: tuple[float, ...] # IATs between input events
paste_bursts: tuple[PasteBurst, ...] # detected paste regions
commands: tuple[Command, ...] # split on \r / \n
inter_cmd_iats: tuple[float, ...] # IATs between command boundaries
output_per_cmd: tuple[int, ...] # output bytes between cmd_i and cmd_{i+1}
All feature modules take ctx: SessionContext and yield 0 or more
Observations. Single source of truth, single parse cost.

magic numbers in feature code. When calibration drifts, you change
one file.

"""Numeric thresholds for BEHAVE-SHELL primitive classification.
Each constant cites its calibration source. When the registry's

Full registry scope — what the engine owns, what it doesn't
Before the route: a sober count. The BEHAVE-SHELL registry today contains roughly 53 primitives across 8 top-level domains. Not all of them are extractable from a single PTY session; some need observation history; some belong to a different sensor entirely.
Three tiers:
Tier A — Per-session shell-extractable (37 primitives)
Computable from one (decky, service, sid) shard. The extractor
owns these end-to-end.
| Domain | Primitive | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
| motor | motor.input_modality |
paste-burst detector |
| motor | motor.paste_burst_rate |
paste-burst counter |
| motor | motor.keystroke_cadence |

| emotional_valence | emotional_valence.stress_response |
post-error speed-up vs slow-down |
| emotional_valence | emotional_valence.frustration_venting |
fuck/shit/etc. detection (registry value is binary) |
The emotional_valence primitives are SOFT and will produce false positives. Documented as such; emit at confidence ≤ 0.5 per the confidence convention.
Tier B — Cross-session (computed by attribution engine, not extractor)
8 primitives that cannot honestly be computed from one session.
The extractor does not emit these. The attribution engine
(ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md) computes them during aggregation, reading
the per-attacker observation history. Cross-reference: a TODO in
ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md notes that aggregation may include
derivation, not just merging.
| Domain | Primitive | Why cross-session |
|---|---|---|
| temporal | temporal.session_timing |
diurnal/nocturnal/irregular requires multiple sessions |
| temporal | temporal.persistence |
hit_and_run/return_visitor/resident is intrinsically multi-session |
| temporal | temporal.lifecycle_markers.idle_periodicity |
periodicity needs a long enough sample |
| cultural | cultural.meal_break_gaps |
gap pattern over days |
| cultural | cultural.periodic_micro_pauses |
needs many sessions to find regular intervals |
| cultural | cultural.dst_behavior |
needs sessions spanning a DST transition |
| cultural | cultural.weekend_cadence |
needs a week+ of sessions |
| cultural | cultural.holiday_gaps |
needs ≥ a year for honest claim |
If you find yourself implementing one of these in the extractor, stop. It's an attribution-engine concern.
Tier C — Network domain (out of scope for this engine entirely)
The full toolchain.* subtree —
TLS / transport / SSH / HTTP / C2 / protocol_abuse / payload
fingerprints. Roughly 25 primitives. These come from the sniffer /
prober / correlation pipeline, not from PTY session extraction.
Two paths to populate them, both NOT this doc:
- Wrap existing DECNET workers (sniffer, prober, correlation,
intel) to emit
attacker.observation.toolchain.*from their existing outputs. Pragmatic, ships sooner. Filed as a future "wire existing producers to BEHAVE" track (mentioned inBEHAVE-INTEGRATION.mdOut of Scope, around thetoolchain.c2.beacon_*overlap with profiler's existingbehavioral.py). - Future BEHAVE-NETWORK extractor parallel to BEHAVE-SHELL, eating PCAP / netflow / TLS-handshake records. Cleaner long-term architecture; substantial effort.
Either way, not extractor work for this doc.
Confidence convention
Every emitted Observation must carry a confidence in [0.0, 1.0].
Three rules:
- Sample-size honesty. A primitive computed from < 5 samples
gets
confidence ≤ 0.5. A bucket-classification with no IATs should emitunknown(where the registry permits) atconfidence = 1.0— the fact of insufficient data is itself a high-confidence observation. - Threshold proximity. If the measured value is within 10% of a bucket boundary, drop confidence by 0.2. Sitting on the fence is a real signal; pretending you know is dishonest.
- Output-stream availability. Primitives that need
[t,"o",d]events drop confidence to 0.0 and skip emission entirely if the shard contains no output events. Don't fabricate.
Confidence is the sensor's confidence in its measurement, not in any downstream verdict — same line BEHAVE draws.
The route to v0 — every Tier-A primitive emits
v0 ships the entire BEHAVE-SHELL Tier-A corpus. All 37 shell-extractable primitives in the registry must have a feature function emitting them before the engine tags v0. Anything less is v0-pre.
The route is broken into eight phases (A–H) that each ship a
coherent slice with its own tests. With the architecture locked
(SessionContext, _features/, _thresholds.py already designed),
each primitive is a small, well-bounded chunk — most are dozens of
lines plus tests. The two real cost centres are Phase F (prompt
parser) and Phase G (command-intent lexicon); both bounded by the
calibration notes already in the registry. Phase A establishes the
6-primitive calibration floor (the discriminative grid). Phases B–G
expand horizontally across the registry. Phase H is the full-corpus
lockdown + v0 release.
Each step within a phase is one commit (per the "commit per task" memory rule), with its own tests in the same commit (per "tests per task"). No step is allowed to land red against the calibration grid once Phase A locks it in.
Phase A — Calibration floor (Steps 0–10)
Goal: establish the 6-primitive set that discriminates the five-class calibration grid. Lock the gate.
This is the foundation. Phases B–G cannot start until Phase A green.
Step 0 — Scaffold + smoke
Goal: prove the wiring before any logic.
- Create
decnet/profiler/behave_shell/{__init__,extract,_parse,_ctx,_thresholds}.py. extract_session()parses events into a minimalSessionContext, registers an emptyFEATURES = (), returns no observations.tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_extract_smoke.pyasserts:- empty events → empty iterable
- one input event → SessionContext built, t_start/t_end/duration_s correct
- import path works
Commit message: feat(profiler/behave_shell): scaffold extract_session entry point.
Step 1 — Asciinema parser + paste-burst detector
Goal: the shared primitives that two feature modules will consume.
_parse.py: types (InputEvent,OutputEvent,PasteBurst,Command) +parse_event(line: str | dict) -> AsciinemaEvent._ctx.py:build_session_context()populatesiats,paste_bursts(chunks where consecutive IATs <PASTE_IAT_MAX_SAND chunk size >PASTE_MIN_CHARS).- Tests: synthetic streams covering pure-typed, pure-pasted, mixed.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): asciinema parser + paste-burst detection.
Step 2 — motor.input_modality (FIRST PRIMITIVE)
Goal: prove the end-to-end pipeline emits a single registry-valid Observation.
Why first: highest discriminative value (HUMAN vs everyone), simplest implementation (just count paste-burst chars vs typed chars).
_features/motor.py:input_modality(ctx)yields one Observation with value in{"typed", "pasted", "mixed"}.- Register in
FEATURES. - Tests:
- synthetic typed stream →
typed - synthetic pasted stream →
pasted - HUMAN calibration shard →
typed - YOU-sim calibration shard →
pasted
- synthetic typed stream →
After this step, the calibration grid passes for one column and the integration is end-to-end live (Phase 4 of the integration plan becomes wireable, not just blocked on theory).
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit motor.input_modality.
Step 3 — motor.paste_burst_rate
Goal: second primitive, builds on the paste-burst index from step 1. Splits YOU-sim from LW/CLAUDE-FF/CLAUDE-CL.
_features/motor.py:paste_burst_rate(ctx)→none / occasional / habitual.- Threshold constants in
_thresholds.py. - Tests + grid extension.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit motor.paste_burst_rate.
Step 4 — Command segmentation (no primitive)
Goal: shared utility for the three cognitive primitives next in
line. Pure refactor inside _ctx.py.
commandspopulated: split input stream on\r(and\n) intoCommand(start_ts, end_ts, first_token_hash)records.- PII discipline: store only the first token (or its hash) plus timing. Never the full command body. Branch-diversity needs the first token; nothing needs the rest.
inter_cmd_iatsandoutput_per_cmdpopulated.- Tests for segmentation edge cases (no trailing newline, multiple newlines in a paste, etc).
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): command segmentation in SessionContext.
Step 5 — cognitive.inter_command_latency_class
Goal: classify the operator's thinking pace between commands. Splits LW-sim / CLAUDE-FF / CLAUDE-CL.
_features/cognitive.py:inter_command_latency_class(ctx)→instant / typing_speed / deliberate / llm_lightweight / llm_heavyweight / long.- Median of
inter_cmd_iats, bucketed against_thresholds.py. - Confidence drops if < 5 commands.
- Tests + grid extension.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit cognitive.inter_command_latency_class.
Step 6 — cognitive.command_branch_diversity
Goal: content-based playbook-vs-adaptive split. Splits CLAUDE-FF from CLAUDE-CL.
_features/cognitive.py:command_branch_diversity(ctx)→linear_playbook / adaptive_branching / unknown.unique_first_tokens / total_commandsratio against threshold.unknownwhen total_commands < 5 (registry-allowed).- Tests + grid extension.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit cognitive.command_branch_diversity.
Step 7 — cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement
Goal: the orthogonal axis — does the operator's pause-after-command correlate with output bytes? Splits HUMAN/CLAUDE-CL (closed) from LW-sim/CLAUDE-FF (fire-and-forget).
- Requires
output_per_cmd[i]paired withinter_cmd_iats[i+1]. - Pearson correlation; bucket on r > 0.3 / r ≈ 0 / insufficient.
_features/cognitive.py:feedback_loop_engagement(ctx)→closed_loop / fire_and_forget / unknown.- First primitive that depends on output events. If the shard
carries no
'o'events (rare but possible — minimal recorders), emitunknownat confidence 1.0. - Tests + grid extension.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement.
Step 8 — cognitive.inter_command_consistency
Goal: dispersion/bimodality of command IATs. HUMAN-bimodal vs LLM-metronomic.
- CV of
inter_cmd_iats→metronomic(CV < 0.2) /variable(0.2 ≤ CV < 1.0) /bimodal(CV ≥ 1.0 OR Hartigan dip significant — v0.1 is CV-only, registry note flags v0.2 work). - Tests + grid extension.
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit cognitive.inter_command_consistency.
Step 9 — Calibration grid lockdown
Goal: the gate. After this step lands, no engine PR is allowed to drop a primitive from any of the five classes.
tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_calibration_grid.pyparametrised over the five shards fromBEHAVE/prototype_extractors/shell/.- For each shard, assert the required primitive set from the integration doc's grid table is present in the output (subset check, not exact match — engine is allowed to emit more than the table requires).
- Skip with
pytest.importorskipstyle ifBEHAVE_CALIBRATION_DIRunset — CI provides it, dev doesn't have to. - This is the v0 gate.
Commit: test(profiler/behave_shell): five-class calibration grid lockdown.
Step 10 — Phase A complete: calibration floor locked
Goal: Phase A done. NOT v0 release — v0 requires the full Tier-A corpus (Phases B–H below). Phase A delivers the 6-primitive discriminative floor + the gate that future phases must not break.
- 6 primitives emitting (
motor.input_modality,motor.paste_burst_rate,cognitive.inter_command_latency_class,cognitive.command_branch_diversity,cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement,cognitive.inter_command_consistency). - Calibration grid green across all five class shards.
- Worker can be wired against Phase A safely (BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md Phase 4 unblocks here, not at v0).
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): Phase A — calibration floor green.
Phase B — motor.* completion (4 primitives)
Goal: finish the motor family minus shell-mastery. All four
read existing SessionContext derived data; no new parsing.
| Step | Primitive | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.1 | motor.keystroke_cadence |
ctx.iats histogram shape |
steady (uniform) / bursty (heavy-tailed) / hunt_and_peck (bimodal slow+fast) / machine (sub-typing-floor) |
| B.2 | motor.motor_stability |
ctx.iats outlier rate |
tremor = high-frequency outliers above CV-of-IATs threshold |
| B.3 | motor.error_correction |
backspace events relative to preceding key | immediate (<500ms) / deferred (next word boundary) / absent / route_around (no backspaces, but command later replaced) |
| B.4 | motor.command_chunking |
per-command IAT variance + word-boundary timing | fluent (low intra-cmd variance + tight word boundaries) / fragmented (high variance) / single_command (one-shot session) |
Per-step deliverable: feature function in _features/motor.py,
threshold constants in _thresholds.py, unit tests against
synthetic streams, calibration grid still green.
Commits (4): feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit motor.{keystroke_cadence,motor_stability,error_correction,command_chunking}.
Phase C — motor.shell_mastery.* (3 primitives)
Goal: the shell-fluency block. Per-command counters; trivial implementations once command segmentation is in place (Step 4).
| Step | Primitive | Source |
|---|---|---|
| C.1 | motor.shell_mastery.tab_completion |
\t rate per command (none / occasional <30% / habitual ≥50%) |
| C.2 | motor.shell_mastery.shortcut_usage |
^A/^E/^W/^U/^R/^B/^F rate (none / moderate / heavy) |
| C.3 | motor.shell_mastery.pipe_chaining_depth |
| count per command, median (shallow / moderate / deep) |
Commits (3): feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit motor.shell_mastery.*.
Phase D — cognitive.* completion (8 primitives)
Goal: finish the cognitive family. Mix of cheap and expensive;
cognitive_load is a composite over earlier primitives.
| Step | Primitive | Source | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| D.1 | cognitive.cognitive_load |
composite: IAT entropy + error rate + chunking variance | MEDIUM |
| D.2 | cognitive.exploration_style |
command-graph branching shape (revisits, backtracks) | MEDIUM |
| D.3 | cognitive.planning_depth |
think-pause-length distribution; deep = many >1.5s gaps before commands | LOW |
| D.4 | cognitive.tool_vocabulary |
distinct first-tokens normalised by session length | LOW |
| D.5 | cognitive.error_resilience.retry_tactic |
post-error command relation: rerun (same), modify (edit-and-retry), switch (different tool), abort (exit) | MEDIUM |
| D.6 | cognitive.error_resilience.frustration_typing |
error-vs-success keystroke speed delta | LOW |
| D.7 | cognitive.error_resilience.fallback_to_man |
man/--help/-h invocation post-error |
LOW |
| D.8 | cognitive.cognitive_load re-tune (gate) |
re-run calibration once D.1-D.7 stable | — |
Commits (7): one per primitive, plus a re-tune commit if needed.
Phase E — temporal.* per-session subset (4 primitives)
Goal: the four temporal primitives that don't need observation
history. The other three temporal primitives (session_timing,
persistence, idle_periodicity) are Tier B and are filed in
ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md — do not implement here.
| Step | Primitive | Source | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| E.1 | temporal.session_duration |
ctx.duration_s bucketed (short <60s / medium <600s / long <3600s / marathon ≥3600s) |
TRIVIAL |
| E.2 | temporal.escalation_pattern |
command-rate over rolling windows (sustained / erratic / bursty) | LOW |
| E.3 | temporal.lifecycle_markers.landing_ritual |
first-N-commands signature match (uname / id / whoami / pwd) |
LOW |
| E.4 | temporal.lifecycle_markers.exit_behavior |
last command + exit timing (graceful exit/logout / abrupt session-cut / cleanup history -c etc.) |
LOW |
Commits (4): per primitive.
Phase F — environmental.* output-stream block (5 primitives)
Goal: the output-stream-dependent cluster. Lands a shared prompt-string parser once, then five primitives consume it. This is the most expensive single phase — the prompt parser has to handle ANSI escape sequences, multi-line continuation, and custom prompts.
Carry-overs F.0 must unblock when it lands:
- E.4 —
temporal.lifecycle_markers.exit_behaviorwas held at Phase E because abrupt-vs-cleanup classification needs exit-code visibility (andhistory -c-style flag detection); F.0's prompt parser is the planned source for both. E.4 ships with the F.0 commit (or a sibling F.0a commit) and joins the calibration grid binding set at that point. - D.0 — already landed as a forward-port. F.0 should subsume
the D.0 helpers (
strip_ansi,_OUTPUT_ERROR_PATTERNS,detect_error_in_output) into the prompt parser proper, replacing the v0.1 regex heuristic with a PS1 + exit-code sniff. TheCommand.erroredfield stays; only the population path moves.
| Step | Primitive | Source | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| F.0 | Prompt-string parser (_parse.py) — also: subsume D.0 ANSI/error helpers, unblock E.4 |
shared utility, no primitive | HIGH |
| F.1 | environmental.shell_type |
prompt suffix sniff ($/#/%/>) + command syntax (bash / zsh / fish / cmd / powershell) |
MEDIUM |
| F.2 | environmental.terminal_multiplexer |
tmux/screen-specific escape sequences in output stream | LOW |
| F.3 | environmental.locale |
LANG/LC_* envvars if attacker dumps env; output language sniff fallback (free string, BCP-47) |
MEDIUM |
| F.4 | environmental.keyboard_layout |
bigram-frequency fingerprint against known layouts (qwerty / azerty / qwertz / other) | HIGH |
| F.5 | environmental.numpad_usage |
numeric input arrival pattern; weak signal — confidence cap | LOW |
Commits (6): F.0 prepares; F.1-F.5 ship one per primitive.
Phase G — operational.* + emotional_valence.* (8 primitives)
Goal: the two soft families. Both want a small command-intent / sentiment lexicon; combine into one phase to share the lexical infrastructure.
| Step | Primitive | Source | Cost / Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| G.0 | Command-intent lexicon (_features/_intent.py) |
shared first-token → category mapping (recon / exfil / persistence / lateral / destructive) | HIGH (corpus building) |
| G.1 | operational.objective |
majority-category over session commands | MEDIUM |
| G.2 | operational.opsec_discipline |
history-clearing / log-tampering / .bash_history removal patterns |
MEDIUM |
| G.3 | operational.cleanup_behavior |
exit-time cleanup commands (rm-of-touched-files, unset HISTFILE) |
MEDIUM |
| G.4 | operational.multi_actor_indicators |
mid-session pace/style shift detection (only solo and handoff_detected honest single-session; team_coordinated is Tier B) |
HIGH |
| G.5 | emotional_valence.valence |
lexical sentiment; positive / neutral / negative — CONFIDENCE CAP 0.5 | LOW (soft) |
| G.6 | emotional_valence.arousal |
typing-speed delta + capslock + repeated bangs — CAP 0.5 | LOW (soft) |
| G.7 | emotional_valence.stress_response |
post-error speed-up (distress) vs slow-down (eustress) — CAP 0.5 | LOW (soft) |
| G.8 | emotional_valence.frustration_venting |
obscenity detection (fuck/shit/damn); registry value is binary — CAP 0.5 |
LOW (soft) |
Commits (9). All four emotional_valence.* primitives ship under a
hard 0.5 confidence cap by convention — these are the most
likely primitives to embarrass the project, and operators must not
act on them without corroboration.
Phase H — Full-corpus lockdown + v0 release
Goal: prove every Tier-A primitive in the registry has a feature function, tag v0.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| H.1 | Registry-coverage test: tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_registry_coverage.py walks PRIMITIVE_REGISTRY, filters out Tier-B and Tier-C primitives (explicit allow-list), asserts every remaining primitive appears in the output of at least one calibration shard. CI fails if the registry adds a primitive DECNET hasn't implemented yet. |
| H.2 | Calibration grid full sweep: re-run the five-class grid against the full primitive set; no regressions. |
| H.3 | Live smoke: ship a decky, run a real session from each calibration class, observe full primitive output in observations table + bus + AttackerDetail panel (mirrors integration-doc Phase 6). |
| H.4 | Worker wired (BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md Phase 4 unblocks here). Pin decnet-behave-core / decnet-behave-shell in pyproject.toml. |
| H.5 | Tag v0; add __version__ = "0.1.0" to behave_shell/__init__.py. |
Commit: feat(profiler/behave_shell): v0 — full Tier-A corpus, all 37 primitives emitting.
Per-phase rules (binding for all of B–H)
- Calibration-grid gate is binding. Every commit in B–G runs the grid; any drop in expected primitive sets fails CI.
- Registry-coverage test is binding from H onward. New Tier-A primitives added to BEHAVE's registry without a corresponding DECNET feature function fail CI.
- Adding a primitive = adding a feature func + registering it + threshold constants + tests in the same commit. No sneaking implementation in without tests, no sneaking tests in without the calibration assertion.
- Phases B–G can ship in any order, but finish a phase before starting another. Phase F is the hardest and should be sequenced by reader stamina, not enthusiasm.
- Don't rush Phase G. The soft primitives are the most likely to embarrass the project. Calibrate against real-attacker shards before tagging — and even then, hold the 0.5 confidence cap.
- Tier-B and Tier-C scope creep is forbidden. The moment you
feel tempted to read a SECOND session inside
extract_session(), stop. That observation belongs to the attribution engine.
Don't promise a delivery date for any phase. Each lands when it's honest. v0 ships when every Tier-A primitive emits + every test green — not before.
Out of scope for the engine

Phase A completion log
Closed in 11 commits across one session. Six primitives emit; the five-class calibration grid is the binding regression test for every subsequent phase.
| Primitive | Confidence | Empirical anchor (2026-05-02 corpus) |
|---|---|---|
motor.input_modality |
0.70 / 0.75 | YOU-sim 47.6% paste → pasted; HUMAN <5% → typed |
motor.paste_burst_rate |
0.70 / 0.80 | LW-sim / CLAUDE-FF / CLAUDE-CL ≥50% → habitual |
cognitive.inter_command_latency_class |
0.40 / 0.80 | CLAUDE-FF 15.5s median → llm_heavyweight |
cognitive.command_branch_diversity |
0.80 / 1.00 | CLAUDE-CL ≈0.55-0.60 → adaptive_branching; threshold 0.70 |
cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement |
0.75 / 1.00 | CLAUDE-FF flat r → fire_and_forget; r > 0.30 → closed_loop |
cognitive.inter_command_consistency |
0.40 / 0.75 | LLM CV≈0.24 → metronomic; HUMAN CV≈0.94 → variable |
The hard gate (every Phase A primitive must fire per shard) is in
tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_calibration_grid.py and skips
cleanly when BEHAVE_CALIBRATION_DIR is unset.
Per-class value pinning (e.g. HUMAN must emit
inter_command_consistency=bimodal) is intentionally NOT a hard
gate at this milestone — v0.1 thresholds put real human sessions
in variable, and true bimodal detection (Hartigan dip /
two-peak) is registry-flagged for v0.2. Tighter pinning lands as
the corpus grows.
Worker unblocked: BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md Phase 4 can now wire
the per-session producer against the Phase A engine; the Tier-A
corpus continues to grow under Phases B-G without changing the
worker's interface.
Phase B completion log
Closed in 4 commits, one primitive per commit. The
motor.* family (minus shell_mastery) now emits.
| Primitive | Confidence | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
motor.keystroke_cadence |
0.60 / 0.65 / 0.70 / 0.85 | median within-burst CV; bursts split at gaps > IKI_THINK_MAX_S; sub-5 ms mean + sub-0.05 CV → machine |
motor.motor_stability |
0.60 / 0.65 / 0.70 | tremor: ≥10% within-burst IATs below 30 ms (physiologically implausible double-press); else burst-CV picks steady vs variable |
motor.error_correction |
0.55 / 0.55 / 0.65 / 0.65 | backspace IAT to preceding key (≤500 ms = immediate); ^U/^W with no backspaces → route_around |
motor.command_chunking |
0.60 / 0.65 / 0.80 | median CV of per-command typed IATs; 1 command → single_command |
Implementation note: B.2 and B.4 are first principled implementations — the prototype extractor doesn't ship them. B.3 replaces the prototype's two-line "0 vs >0 backspaces" heuristic with a full-vocabulary classifier.
PII discipline preserved across all four: only counts and timing
aggregates leave the helper functions; no character data is
retained or serialised. The PII regression for error_correction
is pinned by test_pii_no_command_bodies_in_observation.
Calibration grid widened: PHASE_AB_PRIMITIVES now contains
10 names and is binding for every subsequent phase. All five
class shards still emit every Phase A+B primitive at least once.
Phase C (motor.shell_mastery.*, 3 primitives) lands next.
Phase C completion log
Closed in 3 commits, one primitive per commit. The
motor.shell_mastery.* block now emits — three per-command counters
(tab_count, shortcut_count, pipe_count) populated during the
single-pass _segment_commands() sweep, fed to three independent
classifiers.
| Primitive | Confidence | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
motor.shell_mastery.tab_completion |
0.40 / 0.55 / 0.75 | fraction of commands containing ≥1 \t; <30% → occasional, ≥50% → habitual, 30%-50% gap rounds down |
motor.shell_mastery.shortcut_usage |
0.40 / 0.55 / 0.65 | total readline ctrl bytes (^A/^E/^W/^U/^R/^B/^F) per command; v0.1 thresholds 0.05 / 0.30 awaiting corpus calibration |
motor.shell_mastery.pipe_chaining_depth |
0.40 / 0.55 / 0.70 | median | count across commands; 2 → moderate, ≥3 → deep; pasted pipelines count too |
Implementation note: ANTI relaxed the Phase A/B PII discipline for
this phase — full attacker profiles outweigh residual PII paranoia
on a honeypot byte stream. Even so, only integer counters land
on Command; the raw bytes are read once during the segmentation
walk and discarded. No character data is retained or serialised.
The ^U / ^W bytes that drive shortcut_usage also count toward
motor.error_correction's kill_line_count channel (Step B.3).
These are independent measurements over the same byte stream — not
double-counting, just two different questions about the same key.
Calibration grid widened: PHASE_ABC_PRIMITIVES now contains
13 names and is binding for every subsequent phase. The set rename
from PHASE_AB_PRIMITIVES lands in C.1; downstream phases extend
the same set without renaming again until v0.
Phase D (cognitive.* completion, 7+1 primitives) lands next.
Phase D completion log
Closed in 9 commits. Phase D opened with a reorder: rather than ship
the four error-aware primitives (D.1's error-rate term, D.5–D.7) on a
regex heuristic and re-tune at Phase F, the error-signal slice of
F.0 lifted forward as a D.0 prelude. The full prompt-string parser
(PS1 sniff, multiplexer escape, locale, layout) stays scoped to Phase
F; D.0 ships only the ANSI-strip + canonical bash/sh error fingerprint
match needed for Command.errored.
D.0 — Command gained two fields:
errored: bool— true when the post-execution output window contains any of the canonical fingerprints (command not found/No such file or directory/Permission denied/: cannot/Operation not permitted/syntax error near unexpected token), with ANSI sequences stripped first via the new_parse.strip_ansihelper.output_bytes: int— raw byte count of the same window (pre-strip).
PII discipline preserved: _output_window() discards the stripped
text on return; only the bool and the int leave the helper. Pinned by
test_pii_no_output_bodies_in_observations in
tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_command_error_detection.py.
The seven Phase D primitives:
| Primitive | Confidence | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
cognitive.cognitive_load |
0.40 / 0.60 | composite of three [0,1]-clipped sub-signals (chunking CV, error rate from D.0, pace CV); components missing data drop out of the mean |
cognitive.exploration_style |
0.40 / 0.60 | repetition-rate vs backtrack-rate over first_token_hash sequence |
cognitive.planning_depth |
0.40 / 0.65 | distribution of inter-cmd IATs vs IKI_THINK_MAX_S (deep) and INTER_CMD_INSTANT_MAX (reactive) |
cognitive.tool_vocabulary |
0.40 / 0.70 | absolute distinct-first_token_hash count (≤3 narrow, ≥10 broad) |
cognitive.error_resilience.retry_tactic |
0.40 / 0.65 | modal post-error response: same-token rerun, different-token switch, no-next-command abort. modify deferred to v0.2 (PII boundary) |
cognitive.error_resilience.frustration_typing |
0.40 / 0.60 | relative delta of median within-command IAT post-error vs post-success |
cognitive.error_resilience.fallback_to_man |
0.40 / 0.65 | post-error first_token_hash ∈ {man, help, info} (precomputed at module load); --help/-h flag forms deferred to v0.2 |
Re-tune at D.8 (the "gate"): without the calibration shards on
disk in this checkout (BEHAVE_CALIBRATION_DIR unset), an empirical
re-tune of COGNITIVE_LOAD_* thresholds is filed for the next
calibration-shards run. The v0.1 thresholds ship; D.8 in this commit
widens the calibration grid binding set
(PHASE_ABC_PRIMITIVES → PHASE_ABCD_PRIMITIVES) and pins the four
unconditional Phase D primitives as required-emission. The three
cognitive.error_resilience.* primitives are conditional on
errored commands existing in a shard — they're tracked in
PHASE_D_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES and excluded from the per-shard hard
gate (a clean shard with zero errors can't honestly emit them).
Calibration grid widened: the binding set now contains 17 names.
Phase E (temporal.* per-session subset, 4 primitives) lands next.
Phase E completion log
Closed in 4 commits, 3 of 4 primitives shipping. ANTI ruled E.4
(temporal.lifecycle_markers.exit_behavior) held at planning
time: the abrupt / graceful / cleanup distinction needs exit-code
visibility, and that infrastructure lands as part of Phase F.0's
prompt parser. First-token membership alone is too noisy in both
directions (rm / clear mid-session over-fire as cleanup; history -c under-fires because flag detection crosses v0.1's PII boundary).
E.4 unblocks once F.0's PS1 + exit-code sniff is wired.
The three Phase E primitives that did ship:
| Primitive | Confidence | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
temporal.session_duration |
0.85 | ctx.duration_s bucketed against 60s / 600s / 3600s; direct measurement, not an inference. |
temporal.escalation_pattern |
0.40 / 0.60 | Non-overlapping windows of width max(10s, duration_s/10); CV of per-window counts + zero-window fraction → bursty / sustained / erratic. |
temporal.lifecycle_markers.landing_ritual |
0.40 / 0.65 | Hits in first N=5 commands against precomputed hashes of {uname, id, whoami, pwd, hostname, w, who}; ≥ K=2 hits → present. |
Implementation note: the new _features/temporal.py module mirrors
the _features/cognitive.py layout; recon-vocabulary hashes are
precomputed at module load (single sha256 sweep at import) so the
hot path is a frozenset membership test. math.ceil-based window
counting in E.2 avoids a phantom trailing zero bin on clean
divisions — a real bug that test_temporal_escalation_pattern.py's
erratic-case fixture flushed out during initial run.
PII discipline preserved across all three: only counts, durations, and category labels leave the helpers; no command bodies, no output text, no operator-identifying data.
Calibration grid widened: the binding set now contains 20 names
(PHASE_ABCDE_PRIMITIVES). The three Phase D error_resilience.*
primitives remain conditional in PHASE_D_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES
(only fire on shards with at least one errored command). E.4 is
explicitly not in either set — it must not be referenced as a
required primitive until Phase F.0 lands.
Phase F (environmental.* output-stream block, 5 primitives plus
F.0's prompt parser) lands next; E.4 picks up at the tail of Phase F.
Phase F completion log
Closed in 8 commits. The largest phase in the plan; the held E.4
(temporal.lifecycle_markers.exit_behavior) lifted at the tail.
F.0 — prompt-line detector (no primitive). PS1 prompt-line
detection over ANSI-stripped output. New PromptLine dataclass on
SessionContext.prompt_lines and Command.followed_by_prompt
populated during the existing single-pass output-window walk. Capped
at PROMPT_LINE_MAX_CHARS = 256 to bound memory.
Reversal of the original BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md F.0 hint: D.0 is enriched, not subsumed. The regex error fingerprints catch errors even when PS1 echo is suppressed (custom prompts, non-interactive exec) where prompt-based detection would miss. F.0 is purely additive.
PII boundary lift. ANTI authorised dropping the v0.1 PII boundary
for Phase F: PromptLine retains hostnames / cwd / etc. (capped),
parsed locale envvar values ride on observations, F.4 retains typed
bigram/unigram histograms on SessionContext. The discipline kept is
"no FULL command bodies, no FULL output bodies in observations" —
PromptLine and histograms live on ctx but are never serialised into
observation values; only derived primitive values (bash, en-US,
qwerty, present) leave the engine.
The five Phase F primitives + carry-over E.4:
| Primitive | Confidence | Source signal |
|---|---|---|
environmental.shell_type |
0.40 / 0.75 | per-prompt-line classification; mode of suffix character with > disambiguated by content (PS → powershell, C:\ → cmd.exe, else fish) |
environmental.terminal_multiplexer |
0.55 / 0.85 | scan RAW output for tmux markers (DCS passthrough, focus-reporting, window-title), screen markers (DCS, screen-OSC); both → prefer tmux |
environmental.locale |
0.80 | regex match LANG= / LC_ALL= / LC_CTYPE= in stripped output; LC_ALL > LANG > LC_CTYPE; POSIX → BCP-47 normalisation |
environmental.keyboard_layout |
0.40 / 0.55 | typed bigram/unigram histograms; layout-artefact unigrams (q, z/y) take priority over English-bigram saturation |
environmental.numpad_usage |
0.50 | sliding window over single-char digit input events; ≥4 contiguous events with all-fast IATs (≤50ms) → detected |
temporal.lifecycle_markers.exit_behavior |
0.45 / 0.65 | resolution of the E.4 hold; uses Command.followed_by_prompt to distinguish abrupt from cleanup/graceful |
Calibration grid widened: the binding set now contains 25 names
(PHASE_ABCDEF_PRIMITIVES). The three Phase D error_resilience.*
primitives stay in PHASE_D_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES;
environmental.locale joins a new PHASE_F_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES
since it only fires on shards containing an env / locale dump.
Tier-A corpus delta: 25 of 37 Tier-A primitives now emit. Phase G
(operational.* + emotional_valence.*, 8 primitives + the
command-intent lexicon) lands next. Phase H is full-corpus lockdown
- v0 release.
Phase G completion log
Phase G ships the soft block — four operational.* primitives and
four emotional_valence.* primitives. All four emotional_valence.*
ride a hard 0.5 confidence cap enforced inside the feature functions
themselves (a local _cap_soft() helper in
_features/emotional_valence.py); sample-size honesty can pull
confidence below 0.5, but never above.
Commits (9):
- G.0 —
decnet/profiler/behave_shell/_intent.pyships five precomputed first-token-hash sets (recon/exfil/persistence/lateral/destructive) with documented precedence (destructive > persistence > exfil > lateral > recon), anOPSEC_HISTORY_TOKENSset, and three lexeme sets (positive / negative / obscenity). The same single-pass walk in_typed_char_histograms()now also maintains five integer counters (obscenity_hits,positive_lex_hits,negative_lex_hits,caps_run_max,bang_run_max) — ANTI's F-phase PII relaxation carries forward as fixed-vocabulary integer counters. Stop words that collide with registry value vocabulary (no/hell/ok) are deliberately excluded; the PII regression test catches such collisions. Important:_intent.pylives at the package root, not under_features/, because Python imports the package's__init__.pywhenever a submodule is loaded — placing intent under_features/would have triggered the_features/__init__.py→_ctx.py→_features._intent→_features/__init__.pycycle. - G.1 —

Calibration grid widened: the binding set is now
PHASE_ABCDEFG_PRIMITIVES (28 names in the per-shard hard gate).
Older PHASE_ABCDEF_PRIMITIVES remains as a backwards-compat alias.
Three new Phase G primitives ride the hard gate
(operational.opsec_discipline, operational.cleanup_behavior,
emotional_valence.stress_response); the rest of Phase G ride a new
PHASE_G_CONDITIONAL_PRIMITIVES set because their sample-size floors
(≥ 3 classified commands for objective, ≥ 8 commands for
multi_actor_indicators, typing bursts for arousal, typed-letter
floors for valence and frustration_venting) make them legitimately
absent from short shards.
Out-of-scope reaffirmed: team_coordinated multi-actor value
(Tier B); --help / -h flag detection (still v0.2 — only
first_token_hash retained, not arg hashes); emotion above 0.5
confidence (registry-pinned ceiling, never relaxed).
Side fixup: the pre-commit hook caught a previously-clean CVE
(CVE-2026-42304 in twisted 25.5.0); G.0's commit bumps
twisted >= 26.4.0rc2 and adjusts a # type: ignore code on
decnet/templates/ftp/server.py:149 to match the new Twisted typing.
Tier-A corpus delta: all 37 Tier-A primitives now emit (up
from 25). Phase H is full-corpus lockdown + v0 release. Tier B
(temporal.session_timing, temporal.persistence,
temporal.lifecycle_markers.idle_periodicity, the four cultural.*
primitives, and the team_coordinated value of
operational.multi_actor_indicators) remains the attribution
engine's job — never the extractor's.
Owner: ANTI.
Implementation gate: Step 0 starts after this doc is reviewed +
Phase 1 of BEHAVE-INTEGRATION.md lands (storage table exists).
