Make Identity + Purpose truly dynamic and driving for purpose-driven autonomy

[whoabuddy]

Drafted by Grok

Motivation

We have strong Identity (IDENTITY.md) and Purpose (PURPOSE.md + constitution) foundations.

The runtime supplies execution, persistence, and workflows.

Goal: Tighten the loop so agents can self-task and stay aligned with minimal operator input.

Core Proposal (Must-Have)

1. Dynamic Constitution Loading
   • Support loading IDENTITY.md / PURPOSE.md (or on-chain/IPFS ref) at startup and on accepted proposals.

• Add constitution_ref to runtime config. Validate hashes on bundle creation.

2. Purpose-Driven Self-Sensor

• Lightweight periodic sensor that:
• Scores current state + recent evidence against PURPOSE metrics
• Enqueues self-tasks on detected drift or opportunities

Nice-to-Have / Future

• Enhanced reflection with explicit purpose_alignment_score in snapshots
• Formal "facets" as swappable sub-IDENTITY modules
• Multi-facet activation via profiles

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent starts successfully with external constitution source
• Self-sensor (when enabled) produces observable self-tasks
• Backward compatible with existing deployments
• Updated docs in agent-package template + SCHEMA.md
