## Upgrade Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrading from Development Versions
|
||||
|
||||
If you were using a pre-release or development version of the Tractatus Framework, this v3.5.0 release represents the first stable, production-ready version. We recommend:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fresh Installation**: Start with a clean installation rather than upgrading
|
||||
2. **Review Breaking Changes**: The public API is now stable and documented
|
||||
3. **Update Dependencies**: Ensure Node.js 18+ and MongoDB 7.0+
|
||||
4. **Test Thoroughly**: Run the complete test suite after installation
|
||||
5. **Review Documentation**: Check the updated API documentation for any changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Upgrades
|
||||
|
||||
Future releases will include detailed upgrade instructions in this section.

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Tractatus Framework provides six core services that work together to prevent AI failures by:
|
||||
- ✅ Enforcing architectural boundaries for human judgment
|
||||
- ✅ Validating actions against explicit instructions
|
||||
- ✅ Preventing cached patterns from overriding explicit rules
|
||||
- ✅ Monitoring context pressure and triggering safety protocols
|
||||
- ✅ Ensuring value pluralism in multi-stakeholder decisions

|

### Key Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
**Governance Quadrants:**
|
||||
- `STRATEGIC` - Long-term vision and values
|
||||
- `OPERATIONAL` - Day-to-day operations
|
||||
- `TACTICAL` - Short-term decisions
|
||||
- `SYSTEM` - Technical configuration
|
||||
- `STORAGE` - Data persistence
|
||||
|
||||
**Persistence Levels:**
|
||||
- `HIGH` - Permanent, overrides all
|
||||
- `MEDIUM` - Session-scoped
|
||||
- `LOW` - Temporary, can be superseded
|
||||
|
||||
**Tractatus Boundaries (12.1-12.7):**
|
||||
- Prevent AI from making value-laden decisions
|
||||
- Ensure human judgment for ethical choices
|
||||
- Architectural constraints enforced at runtime

## Database Models
|
||||
|
||||
The framework uses MongoDB with 9 models:
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Models:**
|
||||
- `GovernanceRule` - Governance instructions
|
||||
- `Project` - Project configurations
|
||||
- `SessionState` - Session tracking
|
||||
- `VariableValue` - Dynamic variables
|
||||
|
||||
**Logging Models:**
|
||||
- `AuditLog` - System audit trail
|
||||
- `GovernanceLog` - Governance actions
|
||||
- `VerificationLog` - Verification results
|
||||
|
||||
**Deliberation Models:**
|
||||
- `DeliberationSession` - Multi-stakeholder sessions
|
||||
- `Precedent` - Decision precedents

|
||||
## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
The Tractatus Framework takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where to Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:
|
||||
|
||||
**security@agenticgovernance.digital**
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Include
|
||||
|
||||
To help us better understand and resolve the issue, please include as much of the following information as possible:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Type of vulnerability** (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting, authentication bypass)
|
||||
- **Full paths of affected source files**
|
||||
- **Location of the affected code** (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
|
||||
- **Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue**
|
||||
- **Proof-of-concept or exploit code** (if applicable)
|
||||
- **Impact of the vulnerability** (what an attacker could achieve)
|
||||
- **Suggested mitigation** (if you have one)
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Expect
|
||||
|
||||
When you report a vulnerability, you can expect:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within **48 hours**
|
||||
2. **Assessment**: We will assess the vulnerability and determine its severity
|
||||
3. **Updates**: We will keep you informed of our progress
|
||||
4. **Resolution**: We will work to release a fix as quickly as possible
|
||||
5. **Credit**: With your permission, we will credit you in the security advisory
|
||||
|
||||
### Disclosure Policy
|
||||
|
||||
- We request that you give us a reasonable amount of time to address the vulnerability before public disclosure
|
||||
- We will keep you informed of our remediation timeline
|
||||
- Once a fix is released, we will publish a security advisory crediting you (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Versions
|
||||
|
||||
We currently support the following versions with security updates:
|
||||
|
||||
| Version | Supported |
|
||||
| ------- | ------------------ |
|
||||
| 3.5.x | ✅ Yes |
|
||||
| < 3.5 | ❌ Not supported |
|
||||
|
||||
Only the latest minor version receives security updates. We strongly recommend keeping your installation up to date.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Best Practices for Implementers
|
||||
|
||||
If you're implementing the Tractatus Framework in your own project, we recommend:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Environment Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Never commit `.env` files** to version control
|
||||
- **Rotate secrets regularly** (JWT secrets, API keys, database credentials)
|
||||
- **Use strong passwords** for MongoDB and admin accounts
|
||||
- **Enable MongoDB authentication** in production
|
||||
- **Use TLS/SSL** for all connections in production
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Network Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Use firewalls** to restrict access to MongoDB and application ports
|
||||
- **Enable rate limiting** (already configured in the framework)
|
||||
- **Use reverse proxy** (nginx/Apache) with HTTPS
|
||||
- **Configure CORS** appropriately for your use case
|
||||
- **Monitor failed authentication attempts**
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Deployment Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Run as non-root user** (framework defaults to this)
|
||||
- **Use Docker secrets** for sensitive configuration
|
||||
- **Keep dependencies updated** (`npm audit` regularly)
|
||||
- **Enable security headers** (already configured)
|
||||
- **Disable debug logs** in production
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Database Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Create read-only database users** for reporting
|
||||
- **Enable MongoDB access control**
|
||||
- **Backup encryption keys** securely
|
||||
- **Regular security audits** of database access logs
|
||||
- **Implement data retention policies**
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. API Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Validate all input** (framework provides validation middleware)
|
||||
- **Sanitize error responses** (already configured)
|
||||
- **Use authentication** for all admin endpoints
|
||||
- **Implement request signing** for critical operations
|
||||
- **Monitor for unusual API patterns**
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### MongoDB Connection
|
||||
|
||||
The framework uses MongoDB for persistence. Ensure your MongoDB instance:
|
||||
|
||||
- Has authentication enabled
|
||||
- Is not exposed to the public internet
|
||||
- Uses encrypted connections (TLS)
|
||||
- Has appropriate network firewall rules
|
||||
- Is regularly backed up
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
The framework includes rate limiting middleware configured for:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Public endpoints**: 100 requests per 15 minutes per IP
|
||||
- **Adjustable limits**: See `src/config/app.config.js`
|
||||
|
||||
Adjust these limits based on your expected traffic and security requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Management
|
||||
|
||||
The framework uses MongoDB to store session state. Ensure:
|
||||
|
||||
- Sessions have appropriate timeouts
|
||||
- Session data is regularly cleaned up
|
||||
- Sensitive data is not stored in sessions
|
||||
|
||||
### Input Validation
|
||||
|
||||
All API endpoints include input validation middleware. However:
|
||||
|
||||
- Additional validation may be needed for your specific use case
|
||||
- Always validate data at multiple layers
|
||||
- Never trust client-side validation alone
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Updates
|
||||
|
||||
We will publish security advisories for any vulnerabilities discovered in the framework:
|
||||
|
||||
- **GitHub Security Advisories**: https://github.com/AgenticGovernance/tractatus-framework/security/advisories
|
||||
- **Mailing List**: Subscribe at https://agenticgovernance.digital for security notifications
|
||||
|
||||
## Compliance
|
||||
|
||||
The Tractatus Framework is designed with security best practices in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
- **OWASP Top 10**: Protections against common vulnerabilities
|
||||
- **Input Validation**: All endpoints validate input
|
||||
- **Output Encoding**: Responses are sanitized
|
||||
- **Security Headers**: Helmet middleware with custom CSP
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: No stack traces in production
|
||||
|
||||
