Sigma flows currently express generation nodes but cannot classify structured data and conditionally generate only selected records. Add generic decision and pure data nodes (project, select, overlay, union), plus typed JSON output, empty-input skipping, explicit input fallback and bounded model options. No node contains agent, compaction or vendor-specific behavior.

Every new semantic field participates in canonical identity; flows without new options retain their existing encoding. Admission checks node options, question schemas, references and policies before effects. The reference driver supports typed values and bounded record operations; the host owns lossless JSON, provider validation, cancellation and accounting.

Validation: 724 Lua assertions pass, including malformed admission, canonical identity, legacy encoding golden, zero-generation empty selection, replacement bounds, fallback and typed scalar assembly. The Python host implementation and operation-conformance tests are in genlayerlabs/unhardcoded#116. That PR makes conversation compaction a JSON preset over these same generic capabilities and adds an unrelated ticket-triage example.

Merge this core change before updating/merging router #116. No deployment is part of these PRs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Sigma flow now supports validated decision and data nodes, bounded typed-data operations, typed execution controls, canonical encoding, and unit-test coverage.

Changes

Typed Flow Extensions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flow contracts and canonical encoding
docs/SIGMA-FLOW.md, llm_policy/flow.lua
The specification and flow validator admit decision and data nodes, validate node identifiers and dense inputs, normalize node options, and include those options in canonical identities.
Bounded data validation and operations
llm_policy/flow_data.lua
The new module validates bounded decision, data, and LLM options, encodes typed values, copies options, and runs project, select, overlay, and union.
Typed execution and validation coverage
llm_policy/flow.lua, tests/unit/flow_data.lua, tests/run_lua.lua
Flow execution collects typed inputs, runs data and decision nodes, supports skipping and input fallback, propagates typed output, and adds tests for validation, operations, compatibility, and typed LLM inputs.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f803d

Independent implementations can assign different identities to the same flow, and typed executions lose policy attribution in traces. These compatibility and auditability problems should be fixed before merge.

🟠 Major · Update the canonical identity algorithm in Section 4. · SIGMA-FLOW.md:120-128

docs/SIGMA-FLOW.md:120-128
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Update the canonical identity algorithm in Section 4.

Section 4 omits the new semantic options from content_key and sorts canonical input IDs. The implementation includes these options and preserves input order. The extension section states the intended behavior but does not explicitly supersede the conflicting Section 4 algorithm. Independent implementations can therefore derive different flow identities. Update Section 4 to include all semantic options and ordered inputs.

Preserve policy attribution in typed traces.

An option-bearing llm node and every decision node use the typed branch. That branch calls opts.run_node but records no policy_fingerprint. The legacy llm branch records it, and the flow contract requires it for each node.

Add policy_fingerprint for llm and decision trace entries.

Proposed fix
-            trace[`#trace`+1]={node=id,kind=node.kind,skipped=skipped or false,fallback=fallback}
+            local entry = {
+                node=id,
+                kind=node.kind,
+                skipped=skipped or false,
+                fallback=fallback,
+            }
+            if node.kind == "llm" or node.kind == "decision" then
+                entry.policy_fingerprint = term.fingerprint(term.normalize(node.policy))
+            end
+            trace[`#trace`+1] = entry
