Contributing to Driver Introspective Proxy (DIP)

The Driver Introspective Proxy (DIP) is an open-source initiative to develop an intelligent intermediary that connects adaptive cognition with system-level control — enabling a new generation of self-observing, self-regulating AI environments.

🧭 Core Principles

Every contribution must align with these pillars:

  1. Transparency of Reasoning — All mechanisms of introspection, logging, or behavior simulation must be interpretable.
  2. System Integrity First — Never compromise kernel, driver, or user-level stability.
  3. Adaptive Intelligence — Code should encourage modular learning or behavior adaptation, not rigid scripting.

🧑‍💻 How to Contribute

  1. Fork the repository and create a new branch:

    git checkout -b feature/<module_name>

  2. Follow the structure: /core/ — main interfaces and introspective kernel logic

    /modules/ — driver hooks, sandbox proxies, introspection analyzers

    /runtime/ — execution, reflection, and rollback layers

    /docs/ — all technical papers and design diagrams

  3. Ensure all code adheres to:

    C++23 or Rust 1.80+

    Lua 5.4.x for lightweight runtime scripting

    Strict modular boundary (no hard-coded cross-module dependencies)

Testing

All PRs must include:

Unit tests for local functionality.

Introspective Simulation Tests to evaluate how modules respond to unexpected conditions.

Security regression tests for driver proxy and sandbox boundary.

./scripts/run_all_tests.sh

Code style

  • Follow Google C++ Style Guide.

  • Rust: use cargo fmt and cargo clippy.

  • Lua: use consistent indentation and naming reflecting its linked C++ module.

🔒 Security Policy

  • DIP modules interface deeply with system-level drivers and introspection hooks — contributions must:

  • Avoid privileged escalation.

  • Not access raw hardware or kernel APIs without sandbox wrapping.

  • Declare any external dependency explicitly.
