Implement KNU token distribution system with v6.0 nomenclature compliance

[Copilot]

Implements token distribution for KNU (Known Non-Unknowns) contributors using weighted effort (30%) and measured impact (70%) including spillover effects to adjacent KNOTs.

Distribution Formula

w_i = α·Ê_i + (1-α)·Î_i    # weight: 30% effort, 70% impact
T_i = P_k · w_i            # tokens from pool
I_i = ΔR_k,i + λ·S_i       # impact = direct + 50% spillover
S_i = Σ(a_k→j · ΔR_j,i)    # spillover to adjacent KNOTs

Validated against reference: 1000 tokens → [576, 303, 121] for E=[5,3,2], ΔR=[30,15,5], S=[10,5,0]

Implementation

Core distribution engine (scripts/knu_token_distribution.py, 688 lines):

• TokenDistributor class with spillover calculation and eligibility validation

Original prompt

Overview

Implement a KNU Token Distribution System that distributes token rewards to contributors based on a weighted combination of predicted effort and measured impact (including spillover effects to adjacent KNOTs).

Background

The existing codebase has:

• scripts/nku_scoring.py - NKU ledger management and partition scoring
• scripts/knot_aor_mapping.py - KNOT↔AoR mappings with KNOT_AOR_MAPPING dictionary
• KNOT governance (K01-K14) with uncertainty focus definitions

Requirements

1. Core Distribution Formula

Implement the token distribution algorithm:

w_i = α·Ê_i + (1-α)·Î_i
T_i = P_k · w_i

Where:

• P_k = Prize pool (total KNU tokens for the KNOT)
• E_i = Predicted effort (normalized)
• Ê_i = Normalized effort: E_i / Σ E_i
• I_i = Effective impact: ΔR_k,i + λ·S_i
• Î_i = Normalized impact: I_i / Σ I_i
• S_i = Spillover: Σ(a_k→j · ΔR_j,i) for adjacent KNOTs
• ΔR_k,i = Direct residue reduction attributed to KNU
• a_k→j = Adjacency weight between KNOTs

Default Parameters:

• α = 0.30 (30% effort, 70% impact)
• λ = 0.50 (spillover worth 50% of direct impact)

2. Files to Create

scripts/knu_token_distribution.py

Main distribution calculator with:

• KNURewardEntry dataclass with fields: knu_id, knot_id, owner, E_pred, dR_primary, dR_adj_sum, status, artifacts, validated_by, validated_at, weight, tokens_awarded
• KNOTPool dataclass with: knot_id, pool_amount, residue_before, residue_after
• TokenDistributor class with methods:
  • calculate_spillover(knu, adjacency_graph) - Calculate S_i
  • distribute_tokens(knot_pool, knus, alpha, lambda_spill) - Main distribution
  • validate_eligibility(knu) - Check if KNU qualifies for rewards
• CLI commands: distribute, report, validate

config/tokenomics/knu_distribution.yaml

Configuration file with:

version: "1.0"
parameters:
  alpha: 0.30           # Effort weight
  lambda_spillover: 0.50 # Spillover multiplier
  
eligibility:
  required_status: ["accepted", "merged"]
  require_artifacts: true
  require_validation: true

knot_pools:
  K01: { base_pool: 1000, description: "Certification authority basis" }
  K02: { base_pool: 1000, description: "ConOps command authority" }
  # ... K03-K14

adjacency_graph:
  K01:
    K02: 0.3  # Certification → ConOps spillover weight
    K06: 0.4  # Certification → Data governance
  K02:
    K01: 0.3
    K11: 0.5  # ConOps → Human factors
  # Define adjacency weights based on KNOT relationships

schemas/knu_reward_record.schema.json

JSON Schema for reward records with validation for:

• Required fields: knot_id, knu_id, owner, E_pred, dR_primary, status
• Pattern validation for IDs (e.g., ^K(0[1-9]|1[0-4])$ for knot_id)
• Numeric constraints (E_pred ≥ 0, dR values 0-100)

templates/knu-reward-ledger.csv

CSV template with header:

knot_id,knu_id,owner,E_pred,dR_primary,dR_adj_sum,status,artifacts,validated_by,validated_at,weight,tokens_awarded

3. Integration with Existing Code

• Import KNOT_AOR_MAPPING from scripts/knot_aor_mapping.py to derive adjacency relationships
• Follow patterns from scripts/nku_scoring.py for:
  • CSV handling with injection protection
  • Dataclass patterns
  • CLI argument parsing
  • Error handling

4. Nomenclature Compliance

New files must follow v6.0 nomenclature where applicable. The config/scripts don't need full nomenclature but should include proper headers and documentation.

5. CLI Usage Examples

# Distribute tokens for a KNOT
python scripts/knu_token_distribution.py distribute --knot K06 --pool 1000

# Generate distribution report
python scripts/knu_token_distribution.py report --knot K06 --output rewards.json

# Validate KNU eligibility
python scripts/knu_token_distribution.py validate --knot K06 --knu KNU-K06-00-001

# Calculate with custom parameters
python scripts/knu_token_distribution.py distribute --knot K06 --pool 1000 --alpha 0.25 --lambda 0.6

6. Testing Considerations

Include example calculations in docstrings that match this reference:

• P_k = 1000 tokens
• KNU1: E=5, ΔR_k=30, S=10 → Effective impact = 35
• KNU2: E=3, ΔR_k=15, S=5 → Effective impact = 17.5
• KNU3: E=2, ΔR_k=5, S=0 → Effective impact = 5

With α=0.30, λ=0.50, calculate expected weights and token allocations.

Acceptance Criteria

• knu_token_distribution.py implements the full distribution algorithm
• Configuration is externalized to YAML
• JSON Schema validates reward records
• CSV template provided for ledger tracking
• CLI supports distribute, report, and validate commands
• Code follows existing patterns in the repository
• Proper error handling and input validation
• Documentation with usage examples

@copilot The job failed because the file knu_reward_record.schema.json does not comply with the required filename pattern (v6.0):

[ATA_ROOT][PROJECT][PROGRAM][FAMILY][VARIANT][VERSION][MODEL][BLOCK][PHASE][KNOT_TASK][AoR]__[SUBJECT][TYPE][ISSUE-REVISION]_[STATUS].[EXT]

Solution:

1. Rename knu_reward_record.schema.json to match the required pattern.
2. Ensure every required segment in the pattern is included and separated by underscores (_) as indicated, with a double underscore (__) before the [SUBJECT].
3. For example, a compliant filename might look like:

   00_AMPEL360_SPACET_Q10_GEN_PLUS_BB_GEN_LC01_K04_CM__reward-record_SCHEMA_I01-R01_ACTIVE.json
   

4. Update any code or references in your repo that point to the old filename.

What to do next:

• Analyze the data that should be encoded in the filename and adjust it to fit the standard.
• Validate with the workflow after renaming to confirm the fix.

If you need help constructing the new filename from your project details, please provide what the filename fields should contain (e.g., ATA_ROOT, PROJECT, etc.), and I can suggest the exact name to use.

Missing property name "validated_by": before the anyOf definition. This is a JSON syntax error that makes the schema invalid. The property name was accidentally omitted when the anyOf structure was added based on the resolved review feedback.

Add the property name "validated_by": before the anyOf definition on line 62.

[Copilot]

The documentation incorrectly states that the system "Imports KNOT_AOR_MAPPING from scripts/knot_aor_mapping.py" and "Uses KNOT definitions to derive adjacency relationships". In reality, the adjacency graph is defined directly in config/tokenomics/knu_distribution.yaml and the code does not import from knot_aor_mapping.py.

Update the documentation to reflect that the adjacency graph is defined in the configuration file rather than derived from KNOT_AOR_MAPPING.

[Copilot]

The alpha and lambda_val parameters are accepted from command-line arguments but not validated to be within the range [0.0, 1.0] as documented in the help text. Invalid values outside this range could lead to incorrect or meaningless token distributions.

Add validation after parsing these parameters, for example:

if alpha is not None and not (0.0 <= alpha <= 1.0):
    print(f"Error: --alpha must be between 0.0 and 1.0, got {alpha}", file=sys.stderr)
    return 1
if lambda_spill is not None and not (0.0 <= lambda_spill <= 1.0):
    print(f"Error: --lambda must be between 0.0 and 1.0, got {lambda_spill}", file=sys.stderr)
    return 1

Suggested change

	# Validate parameter ranges
	if alpha is not None and not (0.0 <= alpha <= 1.0):
	print(f"Error: --alpha must be between 0.0 and 1.0, got {alpha}", file=sys.stderr)
	return 1
	if lambda_spill is not None and not (0.0 <= lambda_spill <= 1.0):
	print(f"Error: --lambda must be between 0.0 and 1.0, got {lambda_spill}", file=sys.stderr)
	return 1
