Rather than modifying live content, agents and Vibelets follow a ghost page mechanism: 1. Vibelets or Agents produce valid page-json structures as output. 2. These drafts are saved as ghost pages — temporary, reviewable pages not yet committed 3. A human can Preview, Edit or Reject output before Approve and Publish the ghost page as a live wiki page.
This guarantees **human oversight at every stage**, turning each AI-generated contribution into a reviewable artifact. - **Ghost pages** preserve agent traceability and support **layered review cycles** - **Wiki history and journal features** enable full auditability and rollback When extended with a **modern public-key infrastructure**, this workflow becomes even more powerful: - Each ghost page, fork, or final Vibelet can be **digitally signed** by the reviewer or contributor - Signing a fork does not just prove authorship — it acts as a **signal of trust**: “I have reviewed this content, and I judge it safe to use, reuse, and remix” - This allows forks to carry **trust-forwarding metadata**, where users vouch not only for themselves, but implicitly endorse its safety for others in the network By embedding signatures at each review or fork step, Federated Wiki becomes a **peer-reviewed, trust-mediated publishing platform**: - Signed forks create a transparent **chain of provenance** - Tools can display trust badges (e.g. “signed by 3 peers”, “endorsed by X”) - Reviewers can set **local trust policies** (e.g. “only show Vibelets signed by these identities”) - Federation enables **divergence of policy** without fragmentation of content — users can choose who they trust, while still participating in the broader network Together, this builds a **decentralized, auditable, and community-governed review system**, rooted in the ethos of Federated Wiki: **fork-first, trust locally, remix freely**.
