Designer Legibility Policy — A8 Feature vs Operator Exposure

§SELF — oip-designer-legibility-policy

What this page is: the boundary A8 made necessary — what about the designer is deliberately legible vs incidentally leaked. What it explains: the philosophy mandates maker-through-artifact audit; it does not mandate doxxing the operator. Why read it: success of A8 is a personal risk if the line is default, not decision.

Deliberately legible (feature — A8)

  • Judgment and commitments encoded in system behavior (defaults, gates, refused actions).
  • Ought externalized as rules, risk ceilings, objection intake, kill switches.
  • Operating profile as orientation for authorized collaborators (?profile=1 class surfaces) — judgment, not street address.
  • Ledger of decisions (what the system did and denied) as audit of the maker's bled priorities.

Not intended as public legibility (incident / minimize)

  • Legal name in error strings, UI chrome, or public group selftest prompts ("Ask Cyrus") — hygiene: use role ("owner") unless the owner opts in.
  • Machine identity, local paths, schedule, precise location in public receipts or error text.
  • Private chat content and credentials.

Decision rule

| Question | Default | |---|---| | Does revealing X help audit the ought? | May be legible | | Does revealing X mainly identify the person/device without aiding audit? | Not public by default | | Error strings | Role-based ("owner"), not personal name |

Operator action

Owner may tighten further (strip profile fields, imessage gates). Philosophy says: legible judgment is the feature; incidental identity is a bug unless explicitly opted in.
