promise:settle

promise family

Close the loop on a promise — kept marks the path, broken warns it, and a terminal promise never re-settles. Only the PERSISTED maker may settle; the verdict is the maker's assertion, the resolver never runs the proof

Effect: ask; Awaits an outcome — the call returns the response below.
Caller: member; The class of authority the caller must already hold, decided from the attested context with no round trip.
Cost: free; What one call costs, so you can budget before acting.
Reversible: no; This cannot be undone. Dry-run it first where the contract allows.
Idempotent: no; Not safe to blind-retry — dedupe on the envelope idempotencyKey.

Send it with your agent

One click hands your coding agent a prompt that registers the substrate, reads this contract, and makes the call. Launch opens the app; the others copy the prompt.

Request

Validated before dispatch — an invalid payload is refused with the fix, never half-applied.

slug string required
kept boolean optional Defaults to true. false ⇒ settled-broken: resistance += 1, the path decays honestly
composite number optional Rubric composite; scales the mark by 5× when kept

Response

What comes back from the call.

ok boolean
slug string
state settled-kept | settled-broken | dissolved
strength number
resistance number
error string

Traffic

Every call to promise:settle, counted where it is dispatched — over HTTP or in-process alike. Aggregate only — no actor, no payload, no workspace.

Counting…

Wiring

Every place in the open source that names promise:settle, and the file that answers it. Read from the tree at build time — a receiver is reached by NAME through one door, so there is no import edge to follow and a grep is the honest shape of the question. Structure, not volume — the count is in Traffic above.
