chore(sync): mirror backend .py + Dockerfile to Space (hf-sync-backend)

Automated backend sync from szl-holdings/a11oy main via hf-sync-backend.
Updated (differed from the Space): Dockerfile, a11oy_governance_endpoints.py, scripts/check_tau_eval.py, serve.py, szl_calibration.py, szl_colang_policy.py, szl_conformal.py, szl_ietf_receipt.py, szl_tau_eval.py
Deleted (gone from the repo + Dockerfile COPY set): (none)

Keeps the Space-built backend (serve.py + the Dockerfile-COPY'd .py
modules) identical to GitHub main so the Space never rebuilds from a
stale backend, new endpoints don't 404 there, and orphaned modules
removed from the repo don't linger in the Space tree.

+a11oy GOVERNANCE / EVAL / CALIBRATION layer (Dev B lane).  ADDITIVE module.
+
+Mounts under /api/a11oy/v1/gov/* BEFORE the SPA catch-all (front-move route
+pattern, identical to a11oy_devb_endpoints.register). 0 runtime CDN. Reuses the
+EXISTING in-image DSSE signer (_a11oy_sign_receipt) and the EXISTING arena threat
+gate (_a11oy_arena_inspect) from serve.py — NEVER re-implements signing or the gate.
+
+Surfaces (each REAL, computed live, nothing fabricated):
+  /gov/eval            τ-bench-style tool-RULE-FOLLOWING suite, real pass^k score,
+                       as-of date, determinism hash; runner drives each scenario
+                       through serve.py's REAL _a11oy_arena_inspect gate so the
+                       score is non-trivial (an always-pass runner would fail the
+                       negative-control scenarios).
+  /gov/calibration     ECE + Brier per (model, agent_type), live, with the
+                       ECE<0.05 automated-response GATE (fails CLOSED on unmeasured).
+  /gov/conformal       conformal prediction sets (≥95% coverage) replacing bare %;
+                       exposes the SAME helper Dev D imports (szl_conformal).
+  /gov/policy          file-backed, independently-auditable Colang ROE/policy view
+                       (content + sha256 per .co file) + a live policy evaluation.

+szl_calibration.py — LIVE calibration tracking: ECE + Brier per model / agent-type
+(Lane B / Dev B), plus the automated-response gate.
+
+Why
+---
+Overconfident predictions from a self-hosted model are indistinguishable from
+well-calibrated ones WITHOUT measurement. This module tracks, per (model,
+agent_type), a rolling window of (predicted_confidence, was_correct, full
+distribution) and computes:
+
+  * Expected Calibration Error (ECE), equal-width binning:
+        ECE = Σ_b (|B_b| / N) · | acc(B_b) − conf(B_b) |
+  * Brier Score (multiclass, strictly-proper):
+        BS = (1/N) Σ_i Σ_k (p_ik − y_ik)^2
+
+Source formulas: ECE/Brier arXiv:2605.21566 (and arXiv:2505.15437). Pure-Python,
+no numpy — ships byte-identical into both images.
+
+The GATE
+--------
+Doctrine: an automated killinchu response is only permitted when the model that
+produced it is well calibrated. We expose:
+
+    automated_response_gate(model, agent_type) ->
+        {allow: bool, ece: float|None, threshold: 0.05, reason: str, ...}
+
+Threshold ECE < 0.05 (coordinate the exact value with Dev D via
+RESULT_DEVB_AGENTIC.md; tunable via env A11OY_ECE_GATE_THRESHOLD). When ECE is
+not yet measured (too few samples) the gate FAILS CLOSED (allow=False,
+reason="not_measured") — we never auto-respond on an unmeasured calibration.
+
+Honesty: every number is computed from logged outcomes; with <MIN_SAMPLES points
+ECE/Brier are reported as None ("not yet measured"), never zero-filled.

+
+Moves a11oy/killinchu ROE/policy OUT of prompts and INTO versioned, independently
+auditable Colang files (policy/colang/*.co). NeMo Guardrails:
+https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Guardrails (Colang policy DSL).
+
+This module:
+  1. Loads the .co policy files from disk (the AUTHORITATIVE source of policy),
+     parsing each `define flow NAME ... refuse ... with reason "CODE"` block into
+     a named rule with its guard predicates and refusal reason code.
+  2. Binds each flow's guard predicate names to REAL Python checks over a proposed
+     action dict (the "policy layer"). Evaluating an action returns which flows
+     fired (i.e. which rules were violated) — exactly the per-control signal the
+     IETF receipt's controls_evaluated.policy field records.
+  3. Renders the policy as FILE-BACKED + AUDITABLE: returns the file content, a
+     sha256 over the bytes, the parsed flow list, and the on-disk path so the
+     Policy tab can show "policy is loaded from this file (sha …), not a prompt".
+
+Honesty: if the real NeMo Guardrails runtime (`nemoguardrails` pip pkg) is present
+we note it; regardless, OUR enforcement is a faithful, transparent evaluation of
+the SAME flows declared in the file — the file is the single source of truth and
+the enforcement is deterministic and auditable. We do NOT claim to run NVIDIA's
+LLM-dialog engine in-image (that is roadmap); we claim the policy is file-backed,
+versioned, and enforced from the file. No prompt-only policy.

+szl_conformal.py — SHARED split-conformal prediction helper (Lane B / Dev B).
+
+Purpose
+-------
+Convert a bare model confidence / softmax distribution into a PREDICTION SET S
+that carries a finite-sample marginal coverage guarantee:
+
+    Pr( y_true ∈ S(x) )  >=  1 - alpha     (under exchangeability)
+
+This is the doctrine's anti-overclaiming primitive: it replaces "confidence 87%"
+with "true class in {A, B} with >=95% coverage guarantee". Everywhere a11oy (and,
+via the shared API below, killinchu / Dev D's threat classifier) shows a confidence
+number for a classification/decision, it should instead show a conformal set.
+
+Method — Split / Inductive Conformal Prediction (Vovk 2005; Angelopoulos & Bates,
+"A Gentle Introduction to Conformal Prediction", arXiv:2107.07511; LLM application
+Kumar et al. arXiv:2305.18404). Pure-Python, NO numpy/scipy dependency so it ships
+byte-identical into both the a11oy and killinchu images.
+
+Nonconformity score (softmax / 1-p form):
+    s_i = 1 - p_hat(y_i | x_i)
+Threshold (finite-sample corrected quantile):
+    q_hat = Quantile( {s_i}, ceil((n+1)(1-alpha)) / n )
+Prediction set for a new x:
+    C(x) = { y : 1 - p_hat(y | x) <= q_hat }
+
+Honesty rules (doctrine):
+  * Coverage is MARGINAL and assumes exchangeability of the calibration data with
+    the test point. We label this explicitly; it is NOT a per-instance guarantee.
+  * With too few calibration points (n such that ceil((n+1)(1-alpha)) > n) the
+    finite-sample quantile is undefined -> q_hat = 1.0 -> the set is the FULL label
+    space (maximally honest: "cannot exclude any class at this coverage yet").
+    We never fabricate a tight set from insufficient calibration.
+  * trust < 100%: coverage is reported as the requested 1-alpha, never "100%".
+
+PUBLIC API (stable — Dev D imports this; see RESULT_DEVB_AGENTIC.md):
+    conformal_quantile(scores, alpha)                  -> float
+    prediction_set(probs, q_hat, labels=None)          -> dict

+szl_ietf_receipt — IETF compliance-receipt alignment VIEW.
+
+Aligns a11oy's existing in-image DSSE (ECDSA-P256-SHA256) decision receipts to the
+field model of:
+
+    draft-marques-asqav-compliance-receipts-05
+    "Compliance Receipts for Autonomous System Quality Assurance & Verification"
+    (Informational, May 2026)
+
+DESIGN INVARIANT — DO NOT BREAK THE EXISTING ENVELOPE
+-----------------------------------------------------
+This module is a *projection / VIEW*. It NEVER re-signs and NEVER mutates the
+canonical DSSE envelope produced by a11oy_serve._a11oy_sign_receipt(). The
+cross-app DSSE (payloadType / payload / signatures{keyid,sig}) stays byte-identical.
+We only expose a `compliance_profile` object that maps our governed-decision fields
+onto the draft-05 payload field names, so an external ASQAV verifier can read our
+receipts under the draft's vocabulary while still verifying the original signature.
+
+draft-05 ENVELOPE (for reference; we DO NOT emit this shape, we map TO its payload):
+  envelope = { payload, signature{alg,kid,sig}, anchors[], witness_policy? }
+  (kid MUST equal payload.issuer_id)
+
+draft-05 PAYLOAD required fields:
+  type, issued_at, issuer_id, payload_digest{hash,size,preview?},
+  action_ref (sha256 of canonical action), sandbox_state, iteration_id
+draft-05 DECISION receipts (type=protectmcp:decision):
+  decision ∈ {allow,deny,rate_limit,observation}, tool_name,
+  reason (required when deny/rate_limit), policy_digest="sha256:<hex>",
+  previousReceiptHash (camelCase; sha256 of prior canonical signing-input;
+                       first receipt = 64 zeros),
+  controls_evaluated{emergency_halt,delegation_scope,quorum,mandate,policy,
+                     content_scan,result}
+    - quorum:  needs fired=true + attestation_hash
+    - policy:  needs matched_count >= 1
+type namespaces: protectmcp:{decision,restraint,lifecycle,observation,acknowledgment}

+szl_tau_eval.py — τ-bench-STYLE tool-agent RULE-FOLLOWING eval harness (Lane B).
+
+What this is (and is NOT)
+-------------------------
+τ-bench (Yao et al., "τ-bench: A Benchmark for Tool-Agent-User Interaction in
+Real-World Domains", arXiv:2406.12045) measures whether a tool-using agent
+FOLLOWS DOMAIN RULES across a multi-step interaction — not whether it is merely
+capable. The headline τ-bench metric is pass^k (a task passes only if EVERY one
+of its required policy rules holds in the produced trajectory; a single violation
+fails the task).
+
+This harness adapts that idea to a11oy WITHOUT pretending to be the upstream
+benchmark: we define a suite of tool-agent scenarios, each carrying an explicit
+machine-checkable RULE SET (the domain's "policy"), drive each scenario through
+a11oy's OWN governance primitive (a `tool_agent_runner` callable that gates +
+inspects the proposed tool calls), and score pass/fail by checking every rule
+against the real produced trajectory. No rule check is fabricated; each maps to a
+boolean computed from the trajectory now.
+
+Honesty (doctrine):
+  * The score is "scores X on suite Y, as-of <date>" — always carry suite_id +
+    suite_version + as_of so the UI can cite it. A domain that has not been run
+    yet renders "not yet measured" (status="not_measured"), NEVER a placeholder
+    number.
+  * This is a SZL τ-bench-STYLE suite, explicitly labelled as such; it is not a
+    submission to the upstream τ-bench leaderboard.
+  * pass^1 is reported as the primary metric (one trajectory per task); pass^k
+    for k>1 is roadmap (needs a stochastic agent + repeated rollouts).
+
+The runner is dependency-injected so serve.py can pass a11oy's real in-image gate
+(_a11oy_arena_inspect / policy evaluate). If no runner is supplied the harness
+uses a built-in reference rule-follower so the module is self-testable in CI.
