Overview

This release marks the formal publication of Aurora Workflow Orchestration (AWO) v2.0.0, the fully stabilized method layer of the Waveframe Labs governance stack. It replaces all v1.x materials and is now aligned with ARI governance, NTS transparency requirements, and CRI-CORE enforcement boundaries.

AWO v2.0.0 defines the canonical workflow structure for transparent, traceable, and independently verifiable AI-assisted research. It introduces a normalized metadata model, a complete contract surface, and a reproducible workflow topology suitable for downstream enforcement.

Highlights

  • Complete rewrite of AWO methodology
  • Full metadata normalization across all files
  • DOI integration for version and concept layers
  • New directory structure with READMEs for all major sections
  • Contract Index finalized under /contracts/
  • Schema-first artifact definitions
  • Stabilized Phase Topology
  • Formalized Methodological Invariants
  • Refined Role Separation boundaries
  • Updated SCOPE and WORKFLOW_SPEC documents
  • v1.x is archived cleanly under /v1-archived/
  • CITATION.cff added and validated
  • manifest.json updated with DOIs and governance references
  • CHANGELOG.md introduced for future version tracking

Breaking Changes (Compared to v1.2.0)

  • v1.x materials no longer govern workflows
  • All metadata blocks must now include DOI fields
  • Filetypes and normative weights standardized
  • Contract schemas renamed and reorganized
  • Workflow phases redefined to align with ARI
  • Role boundaries enforced at the methodological level
  • Deprecated “implicit provenance” model removed
  • All documents now require author/maintainer/ORCID fields
  • Non-normative guidance separated into /docs/ directory

Migration Notes

Users migrating from AWO v1.2.0 should:

  1. Adopt the new metadata structure in all downstream artifacts
  2. Update workflow automation to reference the new contracts:
    • awo.initiation.schema.json
    • awo.specification.schema.json
    • awo.execution.schema.json
    • awo.review.schema.json
    • awo.release.schema.json
  3. Replace prior v1.x artifact categories with new classes
  4. Update any enforcement prototypes to follow CRI-CORE boundaries
  5. Remove or archive legacy workflow documents referencing v1.x invariants

Repository Integrity

This release includes:

  • Verified normative document set
  • Validated schema maps
  • Correctly linked dependencies
  • No orphaned files
  • No missing READMEs
  • Correct license format (LICENSE not LICENSE.md)
  • DOI badge + citation included

Additional Notes

  • AWO does not enforce execution — enforcement is delegated to CRI-CORE.
  • This release stabilizes the method layer in preparation for CRI-CORE v1.0.0.
  • Future versions will focus on enforcement integration and automated validation.

AWO v2.0.0 is now the official, stable method layer for all Waveframe Labs research workflows.
