Status: Draft
Author: Nawder Loswin + Copilot
Date: 2025‑11‑12
Version: 0.1

1. Purpose#

Provide contributors with real‑time alerts when scrolls move between validator cycle stages. This ensures remixathon participants stay synchronized and aware of lineage progress.

2. Alert Triggers#

Retrieval → Remix: Scroll pulled from archive and opened for annotation.
Remix → Export: Scroll packaged into remix artifact.
Export → Archive: Scroll finalized and indexed as legacy artifact.
Validation Events: Pass/fail status changes.
Narrative Updates: New dignity layer annotations added.

3. Delivery Channels#

Dashboard Notifications: Inline alerts in cycle monitoring dashboard.
Email Digest: Optional daily summary of scroll transitions.
WebSocket Push: Real‑time updates for active contributors.
CLI Hooks: Console alerts for validator scripts.

4. Schema#

File: registry/alerts/alert_schema.yml

5. Python‑style Stub#

File: engine/cycle_alerts.py

6. Dashboard Integration#

Alert Panel: Displays recent scroll transitions.
Stage Highlighting: Nodes in cycle graph flash when alerts fire.
Contributor Sync: Alerts routed to contributors listed in contributor_targets.
Narrative Overlay: Alerts include dignity layer updates when narratives are added.

7. Validator Hooks#

Schema compliance: Alerts must match alert_schema.yml.
Checksum: Each alert includes checksum for reproducibility.
Lineage integrity: Alerts cite scroll IDs and stage transitions.
Dignity separation: Narrative alerts flagged distinctly from technical transitions.

8. Concept Sketch (textual)#

This Cycle Alert System ensures remixathon contributors stay synchronized, with validator‑grade notifications whenever scrolls move between stages.
