Public Gossip v1

Source schema: doc/schemas/public-gossip.v1.schema.json

Machine-readable schema for the content body of an Agora record carrying a public, bounded gossip item: a rumor, weak signal, or low-resolution observation that is intentionally not evidence. The enclosing agora-record.v1 envelope carries identity, authorship, topic routing, record/about, parent/supersedes links, and signature. This payload carries only the public epistemic claim and its local context.

Fields

Field Required Shape Description
schema yes const: public-gossip.v1 Content-level discriminator for consumers that inspect the payload outside its Agora envelope.
gossip/text yes string Human-readable public gossip text. Renderers MUST treat it as untrusted input. This text is not evidence; it is a public claim requiring independent corroboration.
gossip/lang no string Optional BCP 47 language tag for gossip/text.
epistemic/class yes enum: rumor, weak-signal, observation Epistemic posture. rumor is unverified social information; weak-signal is an early pattern hint; observation is a low-resolution public observation that still must not be treated as verified evidence by this schema alone.
topic/class yes string Normalized semantic class used for topic grouping and local correlation. This is not the Agora topic/key; it is payload-level meaning.
context/facets no array Optional low-resolution facets that help readers and indexers understand the context without forcing raw disclosure.
confidence yes number Author-local confidence in the relevance or signal value. Consumers MUST NOT treat this as proof or reputation weight without an explicit policy mapping.
disclosure/scope yes const: public Public gossip is intentionally public. Private or federation-scoped rumor exchange belongs to whisper-signal.v1 or another non-public transport policy.
gossip/source-kind no enum: first-hand, second-hand, pattern-observed, machine-assisted, unspecified Optional coarse source posture. It is a disclosure aid, not an evidentiary proof.
gossip/tags no array Optional loose tags. Tags are not a closed taxonomy.
gossip/expires-at no string Optional author-suggested expiration time for the effective gossip view. Projection policy MAY clamp this value and MUST keep the historical Agora record immutable.
gossip/decay-half-life-seconds no integer Optional author-suggested half-life for local effective-weight decay. Projection policy MAY clamp this value.
gossip/min-effective-weight no number Optional author-suggested minimum effective weight below which the local projection may treat the gossip as below-threshold. Projection policy MAY clamp this value.
gossip/see-also no array Optional related public resources or records.
policy/notes no string Optional policy or moderation note shown to readers.

epistemic/class

  • Required: yes
  • Shape: enum: rumor, weak-signal, observation

topic/class

  • Required: yes
  • Shape: string

Normalized semantic class used for topic grouping and local correlation. This is not the Agora topic/key; it is payload-level meaning.

context/facets

  • Required: no
  • Shape: array

Optional low-resolution facets that help readers and indexers understand the context without forcing raw disclosure.

confidence

  • Required: yes
  • Shape: number

Author-local confidence in the relevance or signal value. Consumers MUST NOT treat this as proof or reputation weight without an explicit policy mapping.

disclosure/scope

  • Required: yes
  • Shape: const: public

Public gossip is intentionally public. Private or federation-scoped rumor exchange belongs to whisper-signal.v1 or another non-public transport policy.

gossip/source-kind

  • Required: no
  • Shape: enum: first-hand, second-hand, pattern-observed, machine-assisted, unspecified

Optional coarse source posture. It is a disclosure aid, not an evidentiary proof.

  • Required: no
  • Shape: array

Optional loose tags. Tags are not a closed taxonomy.

gossip/expires-at

  • Required: no
  • Shape: string

Optional author-suggested expiration time for the effective gossip view. Projection policy MAY clamp this value and MUST keep the historical Agora record immutable.

gossip/decay-half-life-seconds

  • Required: no
  • Shape: integer

Optional author-suggested half-life for local effective-weight decay. Projection policy MAY clamp this value.

gossip/min-effective-weight

  • Required: no
  • Shape: number

Optional author-suggested minimum effective weight below which the local projection may treat the gossip as below-threshold. Projection policy MAY clamp this value.

gossip/see-also

  • Required: no
  • Shape: array

Optional related public resources or records.

policy/notes

  • Required: no
  • Shape: string

Optional policy or moderation note shown to readers.
