Pillar E: POLARIS Bridge Integration Prompts

Seven prompts for exercising the v1.5.0 stable POLARIS bridge — fcc.archive.polaris_bridge — across archive discovery, round-trip integrity, sentinel-guarded fallback, manifest discipline, and FAIR compliance.

POLARIS is ice_ext: the long-term model archive consumed via LTAS. Its role metaphor is the North Star — steadfast and unmoving. Bridge promotion to stable means callers can rely on get_polaris_bridge() returning either live or mock, never None.

Context for Claude

PolarisMockBridge is the default fallback when the live ice_ext adapter is not importable; the bridge interface is identical in both paths. LTAS + KGSE + DAR collaborate on archived artifacts.

Prompt 1: First POLARIS query

Query POLARIS for "all archived FCC personas created before
v1.4.0". Walk:
- Bridge acquisition (get_polaris_bridge)
- Mock vs live detection
- Query syntax
- Result shape
- Observability spans emitted

Report how many results + whether the bridge is mock or live.

Expected outcome: first-query walkthrough.

Prompt 2: Round-trip a manifest

Take a v1.5.0 model manifest, archive it via POLARIS, then fetch it
back. Verify:
- SHA256 identity
- Manifest field round-trip
- Zachman classification preserved
- Provenance fields unchanged
- FAIR flag persisted

Expected outcome: round-trip evidence.

Prompt 3: Sentinel-guarded fallback

Simulate ice_ext being unavailable. Show:
- How the bridge detects the condition
- How it falls back to the mock
- The user-facing message (or silence)
- Observability signal
- Recovery when ice_ext returns

Expected outcome: fallback trace.

Prompt 4: Manifest lint

Lint 10 POLARIS manifests for v1.5.3 compliance:
- Zachman classification present
- Provenance fields complete
- SHA256 valid
- FAIR flag honest

Emit a 10-row pass/fail table. Reject any manifest with a hash
mismatch.

Expected outcome: lint table.

Prompt 5: FAIR assessment with OSCU

Collaborate with OSCU: run a FAIR assessment on a POLARIS archive
slice. Report:
- Findable (URI stability)
- Accessible (auth posture)
- Interoperable (serializer match)
- Reusable (license + provenance)

Close with the single most-valuable remediation.

Expected outcome: FAIR slice assessment.

Prompt 6: Counsel-gated archive

A candidate artifact contains patent-relevant prior art. Walk the
counsel-gate:
- LTAS authors the manifest
- PCT verifies evidence
- IHL readies the archive-publish bundle
- Counsel reviews
- Only after approval does the archive land

Produce the RACI for this gated path.

Expected outcome: RACI.

Prompt 7: Bridge promotion evidence

The POLARIS bridge promoted to stable in v1.5.0. Assemble the
evidence that justified the promotion:
- Test coverage
- Failure modes documented
- Sentinel fallback verified
- CHANGELOG + ADR reference

Use this as a template for the eventual LYRA promotion.

Expected outcome: promotion-evidence dossier.
