Default Values

This appendix now distinguishes between:

Current testnet implementation defaults: the app/runtime behavior currently implemented and exposed in the Lioth testnet.
Genesis protocol defaults: the broader parameter envelope documented for the protocol architecture and future governance-controlled mainnet evolution.

The current testnet implementation is intentionally narrower than the full protocol appendix below.

Reputation Tracks vs Account Trust

Current testnet uses both:

protocol/performance reputation tracks (R_work, R_valid) in [0,1]; and
an operational Account Trust score in [0,100].

Account Trust is the runtime access/readiness layer used for contributor caps, validator readiness, launch access, settlement timing, and reward shaping. It does not replace PHK finality.

Current Testnet Account Trust Bands

Trust band	Account Trust	Claims / 24h	Concurrent active	Settlement delay	Reward multiplier	Policy validator eligible	Max claim tier	Max user launch tier
Very new	0-19	3	1	48h	0.90x	No	Q0	Q0

Current Testnet Validator Readiness Lanes

Lane	Meaning	Truth authority
Policy-eligible validator	Validator role + trust-band policy allows validation	Validator produces PHK review decisions only
Bootstrap-approved validator	Explicit audited testnet approval to solve cold-start validator supply	Does not let admin decide outcomes
Effective validator readiness	Current workspace-usable state after account, safety, and cluster restrictions	Still validator-derived PHK only
Force-assign only	Operator may assign for controlled testnet verification even when auto-routing blocks the validator	Assignment only, not truth override

Current Testnet Cluster Restriction Levels

Level	Cluster confidence	Operational meaning
Normal	< 40	No extra restriction
Scrutiny	40-59	More operational scrutiny; may add audit pressure
Restricted	60-79	Automatic validator routing may be blocked; routing penalty applies
Hard block	80-100	Workspace-unavailable for automatic validator routing

Level	Cluster confidence	Operational meaning
Normal	< 40	No extra restriction
Scrutiny	40-59	More operational scrutiny; may add audit pressure
Restricted	60-79	Automatic validator routing may be blocked; routing penalty applies
Hard block	80-100	Workspace-unavailable for automatic validator routing

Cluster confidence and restriction levels are provisional integrity posture. They are not canonical proof of fraud or collusion.

Current Testnet Safety Overlay

Operational field	Default	Possible intervention
adminSafetyStatus	CLEAR	RESTRICTED
settlementStatus	READY	HOLD
payoutReleaseStatus	READY	FROZEN
tgeEligibilityStatus	ELIGIBLE	EXCLUDED
manualReviewStatus	NONE	request re-review / escalation / reassignment path

Operational field	Default	Possible intervention
adminSafetyStatus	CLEAR	RESTRICTED
settlementStatus	READY	HOLD
payoutReleaseStatus	READY	FROZEN
tgeEligibilityStatus	ELIGIBLE	EXCLUDED
manualReviewStatus	NONE	request re-review / escalation / reassignment path

The safety overlay is separate from PHK finality. PHK outcome remains canonical truth. Safety overlay fields affect operational release and eligibility only.

Genesis Protocol Defaults (Broader Protocol Envelope)

The sections below describe the broader parameter envelope documented for the protocol architecture. Where these differ from the current testnet implementation, treat them as genesis/protocol defaults rather than a claim that every mechanism is already live in the app/runtime.

Reputation Tiers

These are protocol/performance reputation tiers, distinct from current testnet Account Trust bands.

Tier	Reputation Range	State	Typical access
T0	0.00-0.20	New/unproven	low-risk tasks only, heavy audits
T1	0.20-0.40	Basic	standard microtasks, limited campaigns
T2	0.40-0.70	Trusted	broader pools, moderate sensitivity
T3	0.70-0.90	High trust	confidential vetted pools, validator eligibility
T4	0.90-1.00	Expert	premium pools, auditor roles, sensitive campaigns

Tier	Reputation Range	State	Typical access

Q2 - High Assurance	higher-trust deliverables	k=5	supermajority	random audit [5-10%] + risk triggers	disputes on; arbitration recommended	finality after dispute + audit complete	standard/restricted
Q3 - Confidential/Enterprise	sensitive or regulated work	k=5-7	supermajority	configurable; may use secure review	disputes on; arbitration required	explicit settlement gating	confidential

Quoting Formula (Normative)

Given $N_{\text{accept}}$ , per accepted payout $p$ , and tier $t$

WB_{\text{total}} = N_{\text{accept}} \cdot p \cdot (1 + (\text{retry\_buffer\_pct}[t]))

\mathrm{TOTAL}_{\text{budget}} = WB_{\text{total}} / WB_{\text{share}}[t]

VB = \mathrm{TOTAL}_{\text{budget}} \cdot VB_{\text{share}}[t]

AR = \mathrm{TOTAL}_{\text{budget}} \cdot AR_{\text{share}}[t]

DR = \mathrm{TOTAL}_{\text{budget}} \cdot DR_{\text{share}}[t]

DA = \mathrm{TOTAL}_{\text{budget}} \cdot DA_{\text{share}}[t]

AOR bounds how often audits/arbitration overturn initial outcomes
SAR bounds the estimated fraction of policy-violating automated submissions that pass (bounded estimate)
DR bounds duplication/near-duplication within a campaign or dataset artifact
