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.
