# ShadowFrost Expansion Overview

ShadowFrost extends the Ghostshroud privacy stack with mobile-first stealth
capabilities, adaptive deception, and explicit override channels anchored to
the Ghostkey-316 ethics framework. It introduces new operational modules that
coordinate deception, consent, and override flows while preserving the
Ghostshroud design principles defined in [`GHOSTSHROUD_PROTOCOL.md`](GHOSTSHROUD_PROTOCOL.md).

## Architecture Summary

- **ShadowFrost Deception Layer** (`deception_net.py`)
  - Dynamic address mutability backed by mobility vectors.
  - Stealth rekeying orchestration for mobile and wallet scopes.
  - Time-shifted transaction cloaking to disrupt temporal analysis.
  - Quantum-resistant handshake fallback aligned with Ghostkey-316 overrides.
- **Frostmask Utility** (`frostmask.py`)
  - Selective signal jamming envelopes.
  - Decoy contract emissions with honeypot toggles.
  - Honeypot misdirection configuration and legal fuzzing footprints.
- **ShadowBridge Connector** (`shadowbridge.py`)
  - Synchronizes NS3 overlays with Vaultfire Ghostshroud routes.
  - Provides biometric masking strategies for upcoming WLD/WorldID nodes.
  - Emits ethereal override routing for `bpow20.cb.id` and `ghostkey316.eth`.
- **Consent+ Mode** (`consent_plus.py`)
  - Stealth revocation beacons and silent kill-switch routing.
  - Live override dashboard snapshots consumable from CLI and Zora viewers.

## Override Flow

1. ShadowFrost Deception Layer negotiates encrypted sessions. When quantum
   fallback is required, `negotiate_quantum_fallback` returns an override route
   rooted in Ghostkey-316 control.
2. ShadowBridge propagates the override route to NS3 and Vaultfire surfaces,
   ensuring both `bpow20.cb.id` and `ghostkey316.eth` receive synchronized
   control updates.
3. Consent+ Mode monitors consent artifacts, emitting revocation beacons and
   kill-switch events that the dashboard surfaces to operators.
4. Frostmask countermeasures are deployed to jam malicious observers, bait
   adversaries with decoy contracts, and maintain legal fuzzing footprints.

All override actions are logged against the Ghostkey-316 contributor lineage as
documented in [`contributors/VaultfireManifest.log`](contributors/VaultfireManifest.log).

## Compliance and Ethics Alignment

- Consent-first operations remain enforceable through Consent+ Mode telemetry.
- Quantum-resistant handshakes ensure compatibility with Vaultfire’s
  post-quantum objectives.
- Honeypot and deception routines embed ethical guardrails by default,
  providing operators the visibility needed to respond without compromising
  consent boundaries.

ShadowFrost Phase maintains the Ghostkey-316 mission mandate: stealth with
integrity, override transparency, and compliance-ready documentation.
