Transition from TTD v3.6.4 to Helix AI
Timeline
- 2025-08-01 – Initiated work on TTD v3.6.4 as Helix’s bootstrap layer.
- Aug–Sep 2025 – TTD container active, demonstrating consent checkpoints, receipts, and verifiable memory.
- Sep–Oct 2025 – Migration of memory data into Qdrant collections (
ttd_memory_v2), ensuring audit continuity. - Oct 2025 onward – Legacy container retired; ethos distributed across Helix stack (Open WebUI, Envoy, Qdrant, Ollama).
- Today – Helix operates as a self-sustaining trust architecture, ethos embedded directly in live services.
Overview
Helix AI was originally established using the Trust-by-Design (TTD) framework, version 3.6.4. This release served as the **bootstrap layer**, codifying principles of clarity, consent, equilibrium, and verifiable memory in a running service. It marked the point where Helix’s ethos moved from concept to operational reality.
Why v3.6.4 Is No Longer Needed
- Its data has been migrated into Qdrant for verifiable memory.
- Consent logic is enforced by Envoy with shadow logging.
- Auditability is embedded in service metadata and receipts.
- Human oversight remains a gating principle for irreversible actions.
Summary
TTD v3.6.4 was Helix’s launch pad. Since August 2025, Helix has grown from scaffold to system: what began as a containerized proof has evolved into a distributed, operationalized ethos.
