qxctl is Symphony’s Go-based, agentic-first administrative and query CLI. It speaks commands; domain vectors own the operations and meanings behind them. Its checked-in registry binds every executable command leaf to a stable machine identity and reviewed feature-administration evidence.

What qxctl covers

qxctl implements administration for:
  • Repository and contract inspection
  • Validator, warning, invariant, feature, lifecycle, session, reconciliation, binding, and Maestro administration
  • SSIAG identity, STAV audit, and Accordare producer administration
  • Implemented vector-engine grammar (skvi, sclv, sacv, sodv, ssfv, plus SCV and SHV surfaces)
The current registry contains 373 executable commands.

Safe invocation model

qxctl invokes exact receipt-validated installations using bounded subprocesses, hard deadlines, response identity and digest checks, expected-state transactions, and durable recovery. It never accepts adapter paths or raw versions in place of receipts.

Engine-binding registry v2

The engine-binding registry v2 supports the eight established engine roles and bounded future role identities. Legacy v1 state is dual-read; migration to v2 requires an explicit digest-bound compare-and-swap through qxctl and is never a version-selection operation.

Registry commands

Generate and verify the expected registry from tools/qxctl:
Registry generation and verification
An installed client can emit executable-bound evidence:
Manifest from installed qxctl
Expected evidence has null client version, executable digest, and receipt digest. Observed evidence binds the exact client version and executable digest, plus a receipt digest when one is available. Both forms use symphony.qxctl.command-registry.v1.
qxctl owns command grammar and presentation. It does not own vector semantics or canonical knowledge truth. Only reviewed source changes ratify a new qxcmd identity, regardless of caller class.
