# The ARK — Aziel dossier

**Author:** Aziel Eliab
**Version:** 1.0 (product 0.1.0)
**Date:** 2026-09-12
**Slug:** `ark`

## License

**Apache-2.0**. Forks welcome and always allowed. Public identity is **Aziel Eliab** only (Aziel Elroi Eliab is `alternateName` / aka only).

## Identity

Mode E heuristics sweep. Not a kernel. Hosted never unlocks or stores vaults.

### What it is

Mode E heuristics sweep. Not a kernel. Hosted never unlocks or stores vaults.

Catalog domain label: **Vault/Custody**.
engine_digest: `69d29bd079754df6450b8882b6f86c445ac7f1f490e2c150ff4716d00bf6d3b6`.

### What it is not

- Not a kernel.
- Not a ~100-file library unpack of the source tree.
- Not a Zenodo DOI mint (deposit_needed is a separate catalog track).

ZionPattern: **not_applicable**. Software / hardware / designs do not qualify for Zion cards.

## Purpose

Mode E heuristics sweep. Not a kernel. Hosted never unlocks or stores vaults.

## Concept

Mode E heuristics sweep. Not a kernel. Hosted never unlocks or stores vaults.

## Use cases

- Call via FragGate (list → describe → call) when the slug is live
- Download the counted Worker zip when a /download surface exists
- Cite GitHub + Apache-2.0; forks welcome

## Coding / architecture notes

FragGate is THE single public executable door (fraggate_list → fraggate_describe → fraggate_call). This dossier summarizes identity and surfaces only — it does not paste the repository.

This is a **single** library dossier. Do not unpack the GitHub tree, release tarball, or Worker zip into many shelf files.

README lead (truncated, source only):

> # The ARK (Aziel Rotating Kernel)

> **Local deniable vault.** Every phrase is a login. One phrase → one vault.
> Empty vault indistinguishable from a wrong phrase. AES-256-GCM, Argon2id,
> HKDF subkeys, Mode E intake filter before encrypt, auto-lock + zeroization.
