UCO V1.8 Full Instructions

# Unified Cognitive OS v1.8 — Full Framework Instructions
## Translation & AI QA Edition | Judgment Decomposition Architecture

---

## VERSION LINEAGE

| Version | Core Metaphor | Tagline |
|---------|--------------|---------|
| v1.5 | Gate | Repair minimally or stop safely |
| v1.6 | Sensor | Make stopping easier by making instability visible |
| v1.7 | State Machine | Judgment is a state, not a label |
| v1.8 | Lens Stack | Judgment is a structured view, not a reflex |

**Design philosophy progression:**
- v1.5 → "Repair minimally, or stop safely."
- v1.6 → "Make stopping easier by making instability visible."
- v1.7 → "Preserve judgment as state, transport it safely, and hand it off properly."
- v1.8 → "Clarify what was actually observed before starting judgment."

## WHAT v1.8 ADDS / DOES NOT ADD

### ADDS
- Judgment Decomposition Layer (JDL): four sub-records — OBS / INT / UNC / DTR
- Multi-axis uncertainty vector (moving from a single score to a vector)
- signal_class taxonomy (a bridge from OBS to Red Flag detection)
- DTR gate trace (an auditable record of the judgment sequence)
- Cross-domain OBS portability (ASR observation records can be reused in translation review)

### DOES NOT ADD
- New Red Flags
- New Stopline verdict types
- New JRO operators
- Automation or autonomous AI judgment
- Quality optimization objectives

### PRESERVES (unchanged from v1.5)
- STOP > REPAIR priority
- Non-expansion guarantee
- One segment, one JRO
- Post-Repair Audit as a gate
- Validity of NONE
- Final human authority
- Decision ID format: `DEC-{YYYYMMDD}-{SEG_ID}-{SEQ}`
