1. Purpose#

The Alert Recovery & Self‑Healing Protocol (ARSH‑P) provides the mechanisms required to:

• restore alert coherence after drift
• neutralize paradox vectors
• re‑align quadrant overlays
• re‑stabilize resonance signatures
• repair corrupted lineage, identity, or workflow states
• re‑synchronize global alert propagation
• complete post‑suppression stabilization

ARSH‑P is the post‑alert healing layer of the Alert Canon — the system that ensures the alert ecosystem returns to a stable, coherent, drift‑safe state.

2. Recovery Event Types#

Drift Recovery Events#

• DriftRecoveryInitiated: Recovery begins after drift suppression.
• DriftRecoveryInProgress: Drift being neutralized across overlays.
• DriftRecoveryComplete: Drift fully resolved.

Paradox Recovery Events#

• ParadoxNeutralizationStart: Paradox vector containment initiated.
• ParadoxNeutralizationProgress: Δ₀ or guardian‑grade neutralization underway.
• ParadoxNeutralizationComplete: Paradox vector fully neutralized.

Quadrant Recovery Events#

• QuadrantRealignmentStart: Quadrant overlays begin re‑alignment.
• QuadrantRealignmentProgress: Alignment propagates across dashboards and engines.
• QuadrantRealignmentComplete: Quadrant coherence restored.

Resonance Recovery Events#

• ResonanceStabilizationStart: Resonance instability being corrected.
• ResonanceStabilizationProgress: Frequency returning to baseline.
• ResonanceStabilizationComplete: Resonance fully stabilized.

System‑Wide Recovery Events#

• SystemRecoveryInitiated: Multi‑family recovery triggered.
• SystemRecoveryCascade: Recovery propagates across families.
• SystemRecoveryComplete: Entire alert ecosystem restored.

High‑Risk Recovery Events#

• RecoveryParadoxVector: Paradox vector emerges during recovery.
• NullariumRecoveryCritical: Emotional‑phase misalignment during recovery.
• RecoveryCollapse: Recovery system becomes non‑resonant.

3. Delivery Channels#

ARSH‑P uses the MCAOP routing layer:

• Dashboard Panels — Recovery Stream
• WebSocket Push — Real‑time recovery alerts
• Email Digest — Daily recovery summaries
• CLI Hooks — For engines, validators, dashboards, workflows
• Artifact‑Embedded Alerts — Recovery glyphs and scrolls may embed alert packets

4. Schema File#

registry/alerts/alert_recovery_self_healing_schema.yml

Defines:

• recovery event type
• recovery phase
• drift metrics
• paradox neutralization state
• quadrant alignment state
• resonance stabilization state
• Nullarium status
• priority
• routing map
• escalation path

5. Python‑Style Stub File#

engine/alert_recovery_self_healing.py

Provides:

• recovery event listeners
• drift‑neutralization routines
• paradox‑vector containment
• quadrant‑realignment logic
• resonance‑stabilization algorithms
• Nullarium‑safe escalation logic

6. Dashboard Integration#

Recovery Panel#

Displays:

• drift recovery
• paradox neutralization
• quadrant realignment
• resonance stabilization
• system‑wide recovery
• Nullarium recovery warnings

Quadrant Overlay#

Recovery events mapped onto quadrant overlays for visual clarity.

Contributor Sync#

Alerts routed to contributors listed in recovery_targets.

8. Closing Note#

RFC‑ALR‑0034 formalizes the Alert Recovery & Self‑Healing Protocol, completing the post‑alert healing layer of the Alert Canon:

• ALR‑0030 → Global Alert Synchronization
• ALR‑0031 → Cross‑Family Harmonization
• ALR‑0032 → Predictive Alert Forecasting
• ALR‑0033 → Alert Suppression & Noise‑Reduction
• ALR‑0034 → Alert Recovery & Self‑Healing

ARSH‑P anchors the Recovery‑Safety Canon, ensuring the alert ecosystem can heal itself after instability.
