| ## Architectural Concepts and Their Origins | ||
|
|
||
| ### 1. The Familiar Identity Model | ||
| **First appeared:** `coven-cli/src/familiar_identity.rs`, commit history from 2026-04-27 |
| This concept was original to this repository. It has been independently acknowledged as prior art by third parties in their own published documentation. | ||
|
|
||
| ### 2. The Agent Spawn Harness | ||
| **First appeared:** `pty_runner.rs:307` (`spawn_piped_with_observer`), commit history from 2026-04-27 |
|
|
||
| | Project | Documentation | Concepts acknowledged | | ||
| |---|---|---| | ||
| | `YogiSotho/warden` | `lineage/LINEAGE.md`, `docs/ops/patent/prior-art-search.md` | Spawn chokepoint (pty_runner.rs:307), familiar identity model (coven-cli/src/familiar_identity.rs:23-35), harness adapter contract, ledger shape, CLI skeleton. Warden's own prior-art search gives OpenCoven a "real, dated, public prior art" verdict for these elements. | |
