Cross-Realm Commitment Delegation

Cross-Realm Commitment Delegation: Dual-trace Phosphor P20 safety amber and P22R ruby red vector CRT macro showing inter-vault commitment delegation vectors and bilateral cross-realm bridge pathways

Summary

When a project item depends on another human being, task trackers fail if they cannot reference verified contact records. Trice binds delegated action items to Realm 02 (Yeoman) contact URNs, creating bidirectional accountability across independent vaults.

The Black Hole of Delegated Tasks

In traditional GTD implementations, the ‘Waiting For’ bucket is where tasks go to die. An item is marked as delegated, but because the task engine has no programmatic connection to the person, follow-up depends on haphazard manual scans of a static list.

In the Bosun architecture, identity is sovereignly owned by Realm 02 (Yeoman). Trice delegates tasks by establishing strongly-typed relational graph edges to Yeoman contact URNs.

Relational Predicate Syntax

A Trice task delegates authority by declaring the contact URN inside its $pkm.relations block:

---
title: "TRC-1006: Audit CST Splice Memory Safety"
task_state: "blocked"
$pkm:
  id: "urn:uuid:0191fa30-3001-7000-8000-000000000006"
  realm: trice
  relations:
    assignedToContact: "urn:yeoman:contact:0191fa30-1001-7000-8000-000000000001"
    waitingOnContact: "urn:yeoman:contact:0191fa30-1001-7000-8000-000000000001"
---

Automated 1-on-1 Agenda Assembly

When preparing for a scheduled synchronization meeting with Ada, Trice cross-references the graph index:

SELECT 
    trc.title, 
    trc.task_state, 
    trc.updated_at
FROM tasks trc
JOIN relations rel ON rel.source_id = trc.id
WHERE rel.predicate = 'waitingOnContact'
  AND rel.target_urn = 'urn:yeoman:contact:0191fa30-1001-7000-8000-000000000001';

The output is rendered automatically into the meeting scratchpad, presenting an exact checklist of outstanding commitments without manual collation.

Reclaiming Unblocked Execution

When Ada reviews the PR and logs an interaction note in Yeoman, the loopback KPP bridge triggers an event that marks waitingOnContact as satisfied, returning the task to the operator’s active queue.
