Bootstrap Output Examples

Goal

This document provides first examples of what safe Alpha 7 bootstrap outputs could look like.

In simple terms:

if AletheIA eventually generates setup outputs, it helps to show a few examples of the output shape before any heavier tooling exists.

Current status

These examples are:

illustrative
future-facing
non-binding
not required for 1.0

Their role is to clarify healthy output posture, not to announce active generator behavior.

Why this matters

Bootstrap principles define posture. Delivery tooling boundaries define limits.

But teams also need examples of what a healthy output might look like when tooling stays inside those limits.

These examples are not generator contracts by themselves. They are illustrative output shapes for what Alpha 7 should aim for if and when it emits files or packages. A separate generator contract can later define the minimum input/output agreement behind those shapes.

Output principle

A bootstrap output is healthy when:

it reflects a model already defined in Alpha 6
it remains inspectable and reviewable
it makes its source assumptions visible
it points back to canonical docs when meaning matters

A bootstrap output is unhealthy when:

it hides what preset or mode influenced it
it quietly redefines framework meaning
it behaves like a black box install artifact
it makes one surface canonical by default

Example 1 — Lightweight repo onboarding package

Input assumptions

preset: Core Starter
adoption mode: Lite
delivery surface: repo-native

Healthy output shape

A bootstrap helper might emit a small onboarding package such as:

a short reading order
a recommended first starter-pack subset
a note that Alpha 4 and Alpha 5 layers are postponed unless justified
explicit links back to canonical docs

Why this is healthy

the output is small and inspectable
the preset and adoption mode remain visible
the tooling is not inventing new framework meaning

Example 2 — Existing project adoption package

Input assumptions

preset: Existing Project Adoption
adoption mode: Standard
delivery surface: repo or instruction package

Healthy output shape

A bootstrap helper might emit:

a short adoption checklist
explicit links to docs/apply-to-existing-project.md
the project extension template as a recommended artifact
a note about what remains project-local versus framework-level

Why this is healthy

it packages existing guidance instead of replacing it
it preserves the core versus extension boundary
it remains readable without trusting the tool blindly

Example 3 — Multi-agent continuity package

Input assumptions

preset: Multi-Agent Continuity
adoption mode: Standard or Fuller
delivery surface: instruction or handoff-oriented output

Healthy output shape

A bootstrap helper might emit:

a short handoff starter package
references to the handoff template
references to project handoff conventions
a note that handoff structure remains model-agnostic

Why this is healthy

it packages the Alpha 4 baseline without rewriting it
it keeps continuity explicit rather than hidden in memory
it does not privilege one agent shell as the framework truth

Example 4 — Risk-aware review package

Input assumptions

preset: Risk-Aware Delivery
adoption mode: Fuller
delivery surface: review-oriented

Healthy output shape

A bootstrap helper might emit:

a pointer to the inference artifact template
a small trigger reminder for when inference is justified
references to example artifacts
a note that inference is selective, not universal ceremony

Why this is healthy

it preserves the conditional nature of Alpha 5
it links the team back to reviewable canonical artifacts
it avoids pretending to automate judgment itself

Example 5 — Security-sensitive delivery package

Input assumptions

preset: Security-Sensitive
adoption mode: Fuller
delivery surface: repo or instruction package

Healthy output shape

A bootstrap helper might emit:

strong references to the governance baseline
references to future domain governance packs as optional planned layers
a warning that domain packs are not universal defaults
a note that project-local security rules still require explicit human ownership

Why this is healthy

it keeps future packs in the right layer
it does not silently install domain-specific truth as universal framework behavior
it stays honest about what is planned versus what is active

A reviewable sample package

See:

examples/delivery/reviewable-generated-bundle.md

That example is useful because it shows the intended output posture directly:

visible source choices
visible canonical references
visible boundary notes
explicit review status

This helps clarify Alpha 7 without requiring any actual generator implementation.

What these outputs should not become

These examples should not become:

fixed generator contracts too early
proof that Alpha 7 should automate everything
replacement docs for the canonical repo surfaces
a reason to blur preset, adapter, and adoption mode into one opaque command

They are examples of healthy output posture, not promises of final implementation.

Good signs

Alpha 7 output examples are healthy when:

each output stays traceable to preset, mode, and delivery surface
generated material remains readable before adoption
the outputs package the framework without redefining it
the examples make future tooling safer rather than more magical
