Cognitive Operator Registry

Checks the catalog of named thinking-moves so each is fully described and backed by evidence.

Contract

Does This is a checker for the system's catalogue of named thinking-moves (operators like "reduce competing pressure to one bounded action" or "compile a handoff packet when validated work cannot be committed"). It confirms every operator in the public catalogue is fully described (how it is triggered, used, and checked) and that every operator marked active carries a real result record proving it once changed a live decision, while rejecting any operator that claims to speak with the owner's voice or overreaches into "ready to launch." It matters because it shows the system treats reasoning itself as inspectable typed system instead of ad-hoc prompt lore.

Scope limit It validates only the declared public registry contract and copied source bodies; it never becomes registry source authority, mutates operators, proves operator correctness, exposes source notes, or authorizes launch, external model access, or any whole-system-correctness claim.

Paper module Cognitive Operator Registry

The public cognitive-operator registry fixture validates operator-shape rows, active-operator dogfood result records, anti-sprawl decisions, copied source registry/standard/tool bodies, and scope limits without becoming operator source authority.
