FATAL_ERROR: RealityInvariantViolated in Governance.Policy.Apply()
$
SUMMARY
System encountered an unhandled exception where political narrative critically diverged from observable facts, leading to fatal state. Debugging in progress.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
Attempted to load world.latest snapshot under production environment, expecting standard operational parameters and basic reality invariants to hold.
$ debugpost run world.latest --env=production --verbose --logLevel=DEBUGWarning: System.HumanTrustIndex reported low confidence score (27%), potentially impacting media.narrative.integrity component.

4. Post-Mortem Notes
REGRESSION:Public empathy modules (human.EmpathyComponent) appear significantly degraded compared to historical baselines (e.g., George Floyd incident 2020).KNOWN ISSUE:system.narrative.Propagatormodule exhibits strong bias towards political utility over factual accuracy, especially under load fromsystem.media.influencer_network.WORKAROUND:Users are advised to cross-reference multiple, independent data streams and verify directly against raw video feeds.TODO:Implement stronger runtime assertions ingovernance.policy.Apply()to prevent deployment of policies based on falsified data.CRITICAL:Escalating calls for military intervention indicate a potentialState.AuthorizationModulebypass.
