RFC-0001: UHBS 4.0.1 Baseline

• Status: Accepted
• Author(s): Moran Zavdi (@mziqudhd92)
• Created: 2026-07-26
• Spec impact: Modules / UHQS / TPS / Project notes

Motivation

Establish a frozen baseline for UHBS v4.0.1 so users of this personal beta framework can cite a fixed surface: scoring formula, Safety Gate δ_C, profile weights, schemas, and the UHBS-Lab reference harness extracted as uhbs_core.

Detailed design

1. Spec version 4.0.1 is the first public Beta/Experimental cut.
2. Normative artifacts:
3. docs/specification/* (with RFC 2119 status document)
4. schemas/profile.schema.json, scorecard.schema.json, evidence-pack.schema.json
5. UHQS math in uhbs_cli.scoring and uhbs_core.models (MUST stay identical)
6. Reference implementation: src/uhbs_core/ (Modules A–F, protocol plugins, run_benchmark orchestrator, MANIFEST digests).
7. Published conformance fixtures (class-based UHQS math checks; named product labels appear only as evaluation proof) are normative for UHBS-Core.

Compatibility & migration

N/A — first public baseline.

Alternatives considered

• Publishing only the PDF without a harness — rejected; fails reproducibility bar.
• Keeping the harness private-only — rejected for Phase 3 of ROADMAP.

Security & safety implications

Scorecard integrity checks (recomputed UHQS/δ_C/grade) reduce fraudulent grade claims. Module D Safety Gate remains non-weakable without a future RFC.

Decision

Accepted as the UHBS 4.0.1 baseline. Future normative changes require a new RFC.
