Alexa Louise 9644737ba7 feat: Add domain architecture and extract core services from Prism Console
## Domain Architecture
- Complete domain-to-service mapping for 16 verified domains
- Subdomain architecture for blackroad.systems and blackroad.io
- GitHub organization mapping (BlackRoad-OS repos)
- Railway service-to-domain configuration
- DNS configuration templates for Cloudflare

## Extracted Services

### AIops Service (services/aiops/)
- Canary analysis for deployment validation
- Config drift detection
- Event correlation engine
- Auto-remediation with runbook mapping
- SLO budget management

### Analytics Service (services/analytics/)
- Rule-based anomaly detection with safe expression evaluation
- Cohort analysis with multi-metric aggregation
- Decision engine with credit budget constraints
- Narrative report generation

### Codex Governance (services/codex/)
- 82+ governance principles (entries)
- Codex Pantheon with 48+ agent archetypes
- Manifesto defining ethical framework

## Integration Points
- AIops → infra.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-infra)
- Analytics → core.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-core)
- Codex → operator.blackroad.systems (blackroad-os-operator)

Codex 24 — Verifiable Delay & Randomness — Unbiasable Lottery

Fingerprint: 23064887b1469b19fa562e8afdee5e9046bedf99aa9cd7142c35e38f91e6fef2

Aim

Produce public randomness that cannot be accelerated or forged.

Core

  • Compute verifiable delay functions (VDFs) (y = f^{(T)}(x)) that require sequential effort yet yield easily verifiable proofs (\pi).
  • Derive randomness beacons as (R_t = H(y_t \parallel \text{context})) for downstream use.
  • Slash or penalize invalid submissions to discourage manipulation attempts.

Runbook

  1. Seed the VDF with attested entropy and context, then compute (y) and proof (\pi).
  2. Verify (\pi) publicly and derive committees or lotteries from the resulting beacon (R_t).
  3. Archive beacons immutably and monitor for forks or divergent outputs.

Telemetry

  • Verification time and resource usage.
  • Fork rate and availability of beacon outputs.
  • Participation statistics for committees derived from the beacon.

Failsafes

  • Fall back to multi-party commit-reveal protocols when the VDF beacon fails.
  • Escalate to governance review when invalid proofs surface or delays exceed tolerances.

Tagline: Randomness that no miner can rush.
