Runtime Error: `AmericaFirstPolicy` Invariant Violated
$
SUMMARY
Critical system deviation detected: `AmericaFirstPolicy` invariant check failed during `foreignPolicy.execute()` in Venezuela region.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
To observe this unexpected system behavior, execute the following command in the global affairs console:
$ globalctl run geopolitical.intervention --target=Venezuela --force-regime-change --env=production
Warning: This command may trigger significant side effects and violate previously established policy invariants. Deprecation warnings regarding 'America First' policy may be displayed but are currently unhandled.
[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs
The system initiated an operation targeting the Venezuela.Maduro entity, despite historical policy modules. Initial events logged rapidly:
INFO
[security.deltaforce]
Deployment initiated for target::Venezuela.Maduro
INFO
[network.us-military]
Forces reported successful capture of target::Venezuela.Maduro and related_entity::Maduro.Wife
INFO
[logistics.transport]
target::Maduro en route to destination::NewYork.FederalCourt for charge::DrugTrafficking
WARN
[policy.interventionModule]
Previous configuration `campaignAgainstIntervention` appears to be overridden by `hawkishPolicyV2.0`. Check configuration drift.
DEBUG
[admin.trump]
Announcing U.S. will "run" Venezuela with "people that are standing right behind me." This suggests direct administrative control rather than indirect influence.
TRACE
[admin.rubio]
Attempting to reclassify `invasion` as `quarantine` for "policy" effect. Semantic parsing module showing high cognitive load.
ERROR
[justification.logic]
Shifting justifications detected. Initial trigger related to `drugTrafficking` now includes `oilAccess` and generic `regimeChange`. Inconsistent reasoning pipeline.
WARN
[policy.consistencyCheck]
Discrepancy detected: `authoritarian.rightWing` entities (Orbán, Milei, bin Salman, Putin, Kim Jong Un) evaluated as STATUS_OK. `authoritarian.leftWing` entity (Maduro) evaluated as STATUS_CRITICAL. Potential biased evaluation function detected.
ERROR
[politicalImpact.democratModule]
Democrats are struggling with message processing. Attempting to flag `legalAuthority` but risking `defendingBadActors` optics. High-priority bug for next election cycle.
FATAL
[planning.exitStrategy]
No clear exit strategy or "Day 2" plan provided for Venezuela. Previous `winningTrackRecord` claims based on non-head-of-state eliminations. System stability after initial action is critically uncertain.
[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)
A critical unhandled exception occurred during the execution of foreign policy modules, violating a core invariant that was implicitly assumed after the last election cycle. The system attempted to reconcile conflicting directives, leading to a cascade of failures.

The system's executive_control module appears to have bypassed several policy validation checks, leading to this unstable state. Review pending code for admin.executive.override and related policy.core components.
4. Post-Mortem Notes
- REGRESSION: Reversion to hawkish foreign policy stance after previous anti-interventionist campaign. This violates the
"America First"contract. - KNOWN ISSUE: Shifting justifications (drugs, oil, democracy) for intervention are causing
`publicPerception.trust`metrics to degrade. - WORKAROUND: Vice President Vance is attempting to re-frame drug trafficking arguments, focusing on cocaine and cartel weakening, though fentanyl is the primary concern.
- FIXED (Temporary): Maduro entity successfully removed from
`Venezuela.HeadOfState`registry. - KNOWN ISSUE: Increased influence of
`admin.rubio`component, now holding multiple critical roles, may indicate a single point of failure. - REGRESSION: The system exhibits inconsistent classification of 'dictators,' applying strict criteria to left-wing entities but tolerating right-wing counterparts.
- TODO: Develop a comprehensive
`postIntervention.plan`for Day 2 and beyond. Current plan is marked`undefined`. - WORKAROUND: Pro-Trump media infrastructure provides
`insulation.patch`for base perception, bypassing`criticalReview`module.
