ENGINEERING STATUS

What Frames has actually earned.

This page intentionally separates current externally certified capability, source-implemented work and future plans. The current externally certified baseline is Frames 0.9.32. External v26 QEMU/OVMF evidence passes the 70/70 runtime contract, all 8/8 stress/fault categories, and Persistent Storage Write & Integrity Certification Gate 1 on a dedicated sacrificial NVMe target. Boot-volume writes and physical persistent-media writes remain unapproved.

STRESS / FAULT PROGRAM

All eight stress/fault phases externally certified.

Frames 0.9.32 retains the complete externally certified stress/fault matrix: allocator, scheduler, storage-read, USB/input, network, display, recovery and power all PASS with exactly 8 executed / 8 passed / 0 failed. The same external run also closes storage-write Gate 1 on a dedicated sacrificial NVMe image.

Allocator

Physical allocation, heap exhaustion, canary and DMA-ledger invariants.

PASS

Scheduler

Sustained scheduling and runtime integrity.

PASS

Storage read

Read-only storage path under stress.

PASS

USB / input

Controller and keyboard/input stress path.

PASS

Network

Network-core fault/stress boundaries.

PASS

Display

Display-core stress/fault phase.

PASS

Recovery

Recovery/update stress-fault phase externally certified and retained by the 0.9.32 baseline.

PASS

Power

Non-destructive power/lifecycle stress and fault checks externally certified and retained by Frames 0.9.32.

PASS

LATEST STAGE

Frames 0.9.32 - storage-write Gate 1 externally passed.

External v26 QEMU/OVMF evidence certifies the write path only on the dedicated sacrificial NVMe target. The run completed 48 NVM writes and 48 flushes across the bounded test window, verified read-back, detected 16 injected corruptions, preserved three guard LBAs and restored the full 16 MiB image byte-for-byte to its pristine SHA-256. The boot/system NVMe remained read-only and boot_volume_write_certified=false.

Boot volume writesBLOCKEDNot certified

Still intentionally unclaimed: physical-machine promotion, physical persistent-media writes, boot-volume writes, automatic recovery execution and Frames 1.0. The certified write path is limited to the controlled sacrificial QEMU NVMe target.
