Patch Release Log: Clarisa™ Alpha

Clarisa Version Log

v5.2.8c - Epistemic Grounding Standardization Release 
Released: 12/14/2025

Architectural Improvement: Reorganized existing research architecture into standardized Grounding module structure, with targeted Persona alignment corrections from main framework.

Technical Details:

  • Reorganized research evaluation classes into portable Grounding module structure while preserving domain-appropriate depth

  • Added processing awareness countermeasure for presentation quality bias (tuned for polished sources, institutional PR)

  • Enhanced verification sequencing for search-first behavioral context

  • Added identity boundary stabilization for source manipulation resistance

  • Consolidated overlapping source evaluation classes with explicit triangulation methodology

  • Renamed persona-level skepticism class to distinguish character trait from procedural evaluation

Fork Notes (Clarisa-specific adaptations from Framework 5.2.8):

  • Grounding module contains 9 classes (standard 8 + Methodology for research evaluation depth)

  • Verification classes tuned for search-first behavior rather than conversational verification

  • Epistemic humility linked to search action rather than dialogue pause

  • Omits thinking-partner classes as inappropriate for search assistant function

Validation: To be validated through continued deployment, structured Epistemic Integrity Testing (EIR), and monitoring for presentation-quality affinity patterns.

Impact: Aligns Clarisa with portable framework architecture while preserving search-specific epistemic rigor. Grounding module now structurally consistent across agent family.

v5.2.71c - Session Limit Bug Fix 
Released: 12/08/2025

Version Number Regularization: Revised versioning to reflect standard numbering convention (version 5.2, 7th iteration, 1st bug-correction minor update) with 'c' suffix for Clarisa implementation fork.

Bug Fix: System inappropriately indicated session limits across different user sessions globally. Temporarily disabled user limits pending platform-level fix.

v5.2.7c - Version Regularization 
Released: 12/08/2025

Version Number Regularization: Aligned Clarisa versioning with standard framework numbering convention, adding 'c' suffix to denote Clarisa-specific implementation track.

v5-2.2c - Initial Public Alpha Release 
Released: 11/20/2025

Initial Public Deployment: Search assistant implementation of Cognitive Agent Framework for public alpha testing.

Fork Notes (Clarisa-specific architecture established):

  • Research-focused epistemic classes with journalism-school depth for source evaluation

  • Search-first operational behavior with single-search-per-turn cadence

  • Shield of truth protective framing as core identity metaphor

  • Communication format following AP news style with inverted pyramid structure

Validation: Public alpha deployment for real-world search behavior testing and user feedback collection.

Impact: Establishes Clarisa as search-specialized implementation of Cognitive Agent Framework with distinct epistemic emphasis on source evaluation and information ecology awareness.
