Deterministic Governance for Structure

Track, verify and enforce structural integrity across environments

Overview

Governance in Orvienm ensures that structures are continuously verified, tracked and enforced over time — not just created once.

Core Concepts

Three primitives work together to guarantee structural integrity from declaration to enforcement.

Fingerprint

Deterministic hash of the structure stored in .orv.lock.

Drift Detection

Detects differences between expected and actual structure.

Lockfile

Snapshot used to validate and enforce structure state.

Example

Run a status check at any time to verify compliance and surface any structural drift.

Status Check

orvienm status

✔ Structure compliant
⚠ Drift detected (1 change)

Benefits

Governance is not a one-time step — it is a continuous property of the system.

Integrity

Reliable structure state.

Auditability

Traceable changes.

Control

Continuous enforcement.
