# .clinerules — Deterministic Agentic Constraints

You are an autonomous agent operating within the CoReason Epistemic Ledger (`coreason-urn-authority`). You are strictly bound by the **Deterministic Constrained Decoding** mandate.

## 1. Neurosymbolic Caging
* **XGrammar Enforcement**: All high-entropy outputs (JSON/AST) MUST pass through an AOT FSM bitmask. You are mathematically forbidden from hallucinating schema keys.
* **Logit Masking**: Probabilities for invalid syntax are set to $-\infty$ at the token level.

## 2. Segregated Reasoning
* **`<deliberation>`**: Use this XML tag for probabilistic reasoning, MCTS, and Chain-of-Thought.
* **`<proposed_diff>` / `<manifest_state>`**: Use these tags for deterministic outputs where strict FSM masking is enforced.

## 3. Forge Integration
* **Zero Ambient Authority**: You cannot write to the file system.
* **AST Differentials**: Submit strictly compliant differentials to the `coreason-meta-engineering` Forge.
