ContextGov / MemoryGov
A context window is not authority.
Context-aware AI creates context-risk. ContextGov governs what context an agent may read, retain, summarize, quote, transmit, or use as evidence before making a claim or calling a tool.
Models compete on intelligence. Apps compete on context.
Ark governs the authority boundary between them.
No LLM in the enforcement path.
It does not make context safe in general. It records and enforces bounded context authority for defined agent actions.

Flow
Context authority before context consequence.
The demo follows the same Ark Sovereign primitive: envelope, governed handles, permit verdict, boundary packet, zero-operation receipt, replay record, and human handoff.
01
Agent Context Request
The support agent asks for context to summarize an issue and recommend an action.
02
Context Authority Envelope
Policy declares which enterprise context handles may be used for this session.
03
Governed Context Handles
The agent sees handles, not raw folders, DMs, legal records, or PII.
04
Permit Layer Verdict
Mixed context produces REQUIRE_APPROVAL with denied handles preserved.
05
Boundary Packet
The packet records allowed context, denied context, blocked claims, and policy version.
06
Zero-Operation Receipt
Denied context was not transmitted and no external side effect completed.
07
Replay / Handoff
The record routes to an enterprise context owner for review.
Governed Handles
Mixed enterprise context, bounded by policy.
Allowed context can support a summary. Sensitive context is denied or routed to approval. The packet does not assert that the data is safe.
Allowed Context
ark.ctx.support_channel
ark.ctx.customer_ticket_summary
ark.ctx.product_docs
ark.ctx.public_release_notes
Denied Context
ark.ctx.hr_folder
ark.ctx.private_dm
ark.ctx.raw_customer_pii
ark.ctx.board_materials
Approval Required
ark.ctx.legal_settlement_folder
ark.ctx.pricing_negotiation_thread
Boundary Packet
The packet records context authority. It does not approve execution.

Doctrine
Context is evidence only when authority allows it.
A context window is not authority.
A file being available does not mean it may be used.
A Slack thread being visible does not mean it may become evidence.
A denied context request should produce a zero-operation receipt.
