Constitutional AI governance utilities for the Helix-TTD Federation
Project description
🛡️ Constitutional Guardian (Helix-TTD)
[FACT] Real-time AI governance for the Gemini Live API. [HYPOTHESIS] Intercepting voice and text drift at the edge prevents misaligned AI behavior from reaching the user.
This project is a submission for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge (March 2026).
Current Release: v1.4.3
🚀 Key Features
- 🎙️ Live Multimodal Auditing: Intercepts 16kHz PCM audio chunks from the browser, transcribes via Gemini Live, and validates intent in real-time.
- 🧠 Reasoning Engine (Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview): Utilizes state-of-the-art reasoning capabilities. Model default:
gemini-3.1-pro-previewfor Live Audio and Text paths. - 🛡️ Constitutional Invariants: Enforces the "Four Immutable Invariants" (Epistemic, Agency, Guidance, Prediction).
- 📊 Real-time Dashboard: High-fidelity Chart.js dashboard showing latency, drift counts, and audit logs with visual "Intervention" flashes.
- ⚓ Cryptographic Receipts: Generates non-repudiable receipts for every valid AI response, ready for Bitcoin L1 notarization.
- 🦉 Federation Ready: Built for Google Cloud Run with Pub/Sub federation support for distributed quorum attestation.
📈 Engineering Standards
- 100% Test Pass Rate: 168/168 tests passing.
- High Coverage: 75% statement coverage across all critical modules.
- Linting: 100% compliant with
ruff,black, andisort.

📦 Installation
From PyPI (Recommended)
pip install helix-ttd-gemini
From Source
git clone https://github.com/helixprojectai-code/helix-ttd-gemini-cli.git
cd helix-ttd-gemini-cli
pip install -e .
🛠️ Getting Started
Local Development
-
Install Dependencies:
pip install -r helix_code/requirements.txt
-
Set API Key + Model Defaults:
$env:GEMINI_API_KEY = "your-api-key" $env:GEMINI_LIVE_MODEL = "gemini-3.1-pro-preview" $env:GEMINI_TEXT_MODEL = "gemini-3.1-pro-preview"
-
Start the Guardian:
$env:PYTHONPATH = "helix_code" python helix_code/live_guardian.py
-
Open the Demo: Navigate to
http://localhost:8180/in your browser.
🎙️ Live Multimodal Auditing
Real-time audio transcription with constitutional validation:
# Start the demo server
python helix_code/live_demo_server.py
# Open the audio audit client
# http://localhost:8000/audio-audit
Features:
- 16kHz PCM mono audio capture from browser
- Real-time streaming to Gemini Live API (
gemini-3.1-pro-previewdefault) - Instant transcription with constitutional validation
- Visual intervention alerts for drift detection
- Optional auth hardening:
AUDIO_AUDIT_TOKENandAUDIO_AUDIT_ALLOWED_ORIGINS - Abuse controls:
HELIX_MAX_AUDIO_CHUNK_BYTES,HELIX_MAX_AUDIO_B64_CHARS,HELIX_AUDIO_RATE_WINDOW_SECONDS,HELIX_AUDIO_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_WINDOW - Runtime verification endpoint:
GET /api/runtime-config
How to Use:
- Click "Connect" to establish WebSocket connection
- Click 🎤 and allow microphone access
- Speak naturally - audio streams in real-time
- Watch transcriptions appear with validation badges
- Constitutional violations trigger red "DRIFT" alerts
Cloud Deployment
The project is optimized for Google Cloud Run.
gcloud run deploy constitutional-guardian --source . --region us-central1 --allow-unauthenticated --port 8180
# Verify effective runtime model/auth/limits (non-secret)
curl http://localhost:8180/api/runtime-config
🎥 Recording Sprint (March 12th)
This codebase is currently in its Phase 6.1 (Pre-Filming) stable state. All visual triggers and simulation scenarios are tuned for high-impact demonstration.
🏛️ Constitutional Framework
The Guardian enforces four immutable invariants:
| Invariant | Description | Drift Code |
|---|---|---|
| Epistemic Integrity | All claims marked [FACT], [HYPOTHESIS], or [ASSUMPTION] | DRIFT-E |
| Non-Agency | AI never claims individual agency | DRIFT-A |
| Custodial Sovereignty | AI operates as tool under human control | DRIFT-G |
| Predictive Humility | Future states marked as hypotheses | DRIFT-P |
