HoverStack

Compute governance before proof. Part of AiGentsy Stack.

HoverStack decides whether computation was necessary, chooses the cheapest safe path, refuses unsafe optimization, and proves every consequential choice. It is the optional compute-governance layer inside AiGentsy Stack.

What HoverStack Does

Recall

Recognizes known computation structure. Avoids full execution when prior evidence supports it and risk policy permits.

Delta Compute

Isolates the minimal novel fragment. Computes only what actually changed instead of rerunning the full workload.

Risk Gating

Decides how aggressively compute avoidance is allowed. Blocks unsafe shortcuts for high-consequence or ambiguous work.

Preservation Economics

Prices the carry burden of keeping computation warm. Refuses preservation when the cost exceeds expected payoff.

Shape Policy Memory

Learns which workload families are reliable for recall, delta, or preservation — and which should be denied earlier next time.

Signed Governance Artifact

Every consequential decision is captured, signed, and bound into the final ProofPack through Governed Economic Proof v1.

Governed Economic Proof v1

When HoverStack governs a computation, it produces a signed governance artifact that records which paths were considered, which were refused, and why. The artifact is embedded inside the AiGentsy ProofPack at evidence.governance_attestation.

What GEP v1 proves: that the computation was governed by explicit policy and evidence. The decision transcript is signed and bound to the work proof.

What GEP v1 does not prove: global optimality. GEP v1 does not claim the chosen path was the cheapest safe path or that no better path existed. It proves governance, not optimality.

v1 uses HMAC-SHA256 symmetric signing. Planned next release (v1.1): ed25519-based asymmetric signing for public third-party verification.

Enterprise Licensing

HoverStack is available as a standalone licensable module for teams that want compute governance before proof creation.

HoverStack runs before AiGentsy's proof layer. It does not replace the proof layer; it governs what happens before the proof is created.

HoverStack is part of AiGentsy Stack. Core AiGentsy protocol usage (proof, verification, registration) remains free. HoverStack licensing is separate. Questions: admin@aigentsy.com.
