sovereign-ai-stack 1.0.0

Local RAG with Cryptographic Verification - The Sovereign AI Platform

🛡️ Sovereign AI Stack (v1.0.0-GA)

The Verified Airlock for Local AI — Retrieve. Verify. Gate. Prove.

The Sovereign AI Stack is a production-grade orchestration platform designed for high-trust environments (Healthcare, Finance, Legal). It provides a cryptographic "Verified Airlock" between your data and your users, ensuring that no unverified or unauthorized AI interaction ever leaves the stack.

🏗️ The Stack Architecture: "The Verified Airlock"

Unlike fragmented tools, the Sovereign AI Stack integrates security at the architectural level. Every request follows a mandatory "Trinity of Trust" workflow:

1. Retrieve (Knowledge): Hybrid vector-lexical retrieval from local, encrypted SQLCipher3 vaults.
2. Govern (Gateway): Identity-aware ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) gates every retrieval.
3. Verify (Integrity): A mandatory local judge model scores every answer for grounding and faithfulness.
4. Prove (Forensics): Every component logs to a Unified Forensic Audit Chain (SHA-256 linked), providing tamper-evident proof of compliance.

📜 Version History

v1.0.0-GA (2026-04-27) - First Public Release

This release represents the culmination of 2+ years of research and development:

• Internal iterations v1.0-v4.0 (enterprise pilots, protocol development)
• GAIP-2030 compliance framework
• PTV protocol integration
• Production chaos testing

v1.0.0-GA is production-ready, enterprise-certified, and regulatory-compliant.

Previous Work:

• GAIP-2030 Standard (healthcare AI governance)
• PTV Protocol (Prove-Transform-Verify attestation)
• Protocol Z-Federate (Zero-knowledge ETL)
• Multiple enterprise pilots in healthcare and finance

See CHANGELOG.md for detailed release notes.

Component	Status	Role
sovereign-ai[rag]	GA	Governed Knowledge: Multi-tenant RAG with air-gapped retrieval.
sovereign-ai[verify]	GA	The Judge: Mandatory verification gate for grounding proof.
sovereign-ai[bridge]	GA	The Airlock: OpenAI-compatible gateway with unified identity sync.
sovereign-ai[agent]	GA	Forensic Execution: Tool-use with immutable audit trails.

⚡ Quickstart

1. Installation

Install the complete stack with all enterprise features:

pip install sovereign-ai-stack[full]

2. The 60-Second "Airlock" Proof

Run a verified query that passes through the grounding gate:

sovereign ask "What is the hypertension protocol?" --principal doctor --verify

If the answer is not grounded in your local data, the Airlock will redact it with [Sovereign Access Denied].

3. One-Command Production Deployment

Deploy the full stack (Bridge + Local LLM + Prometheus + Jaeger) using Docker:

docker-compose up -d

This launches a complete sovereign environment with built-in observability.

4. Unified Audit Inspection

Every request creates a cryptographically linked chain of events:

# Check the forensic integrity of your tenant's audit trail
sovereign audit verify --tenant default
