RFC‑WF‑0016: Remix Generation Workflow
Title: Continuous Validator Cycle for Remixathons
Status: Draft
Author: Nawder Loswin + Copilot

Version: 0.1
1. Purpose#
Define a canonical workflow that chains retrieval → remix → export → archive so remixathons operate as continuous validator cycles. Each cycle produces new scrolls, preserves legacy artifacts, and extends remix lineage.
2. Workflow Chain#
Step 1: Retrieval#
- Source: Archived scrolls (
registry/archive/). - API: Legacy Retrieval API (RFC‑API‑0015).
- Action: Contributors query by glyph, tag, or lineage to select scrolls for remix.
- Validator Hook: Ensure retrieved scrolls conform to
archive_schema.yml.
Step 2: Remix#
- Source: Retrieved scrolls + contributor annotations.
- Module: Remix Export Module (RFC‑EXP‑0013).
- Action: Contributors select corridors, apply new tags/glyphs, add narratives.
- Validator Hook: Remix lineage diff protocol (RFC‑REMIX‑0005) ensures ancestry links.
Step 3: Export#
- Source: Remix results.
- Module: Export function packages scrolls into
remix_scroll_schema.yml. - Action: Generate new scroll artifact with glyph distribution, RCI bands, dignity layer.
- Validator Hook: Scroll signed and checksum logged.
Step 4: Archive#
- Source: Exported scrolls.
- Protocol: Remixathon Archival Protocol (RFC‑ARC‑0014).
- Action: Archive scrolls as immutable legacy artifacts, update archival index.
- Validator Hook: Archive entry stamped with validator version and timestamp.

File: workflows/remix_generation.py
5. Validator Hooks#
- Cycle integrity: Each step must produce validator‑grade artifacts.
- Lineage continuity: Remix scrolls cite parent ancestry; archive preserves immutable record.
- Checksum: Each cycle generates reproducibility checksums.
- Dignity separation: Narratives remain distinct from empirical metrics.
6. Notes#
- Workflow is iterative: each archive becomes retrieval source for next cycle.
- Remixathons become continuous validator events, producing legacy artifacts each round.
- Contributors can join at any stage: retrieval, remix, export, or archival.
7. Concept Sketch (textual)#
Cycle 1: scroll-003 (⬣ Gamma Corridor) → remixed → scroll-010 → archived
Cycle 2: scroll-010 retrieved → remixed → scroll-020 → archived
Cycle 3: scroll-020 retrieved → remixed → scroll-030 → archived

This Remix Generation Workflow makes remixathons perpetual validator cycles: retrieval feeds remix, remix feeds export, export feeds archive, and archive feeds retrieval again.
