AECS

Conformance suite

The conformance suite is a set of fixed input/output fixtures covering the deterministic threading algorithm (AECS-1 §5) and timestamp normalization rules (AECS-1 §6), plus an independent Python checker (verify.py) that any implementation can run against its own output.

Since AECS-1 1.1.0 it also includes content-preservation fixtures (AECS-1 §4.3.1): emails with bottom-posted and inline replies, a body that opens with a quote, newsletter dividers and signature lookalikes. Each fixture lists the lines content.clean and content.forAI must keep and the lines they must drop. Passing structure and threading checks does not show that cleanup kept the sender’s words; these fixtures do.

git clone https://github.com/mvrxapp/aecs.git
cd aecs
python3 specs/conformance/verify.py

@mvrx/aecs’s own test suite runs these same fixtures on every build.
