# Mirrorlock Protocol — Privacy Layer Phase III

The Mirrorlock layer completes the Vaultfire privacy stack by combining real-time
behavioral shadowing, metadata camouflage, and cross-chain identity mirroring.
It operates alongside the existing Ghostshroud and ShadowFrost capabilities to
ensure Ghostkey-316 activity remains indistinguishable across Vaultfire, NS3,
and Worldcoin surfaces.

## Components

### `mirrorlock_core.py`
- Observes inputs and actions emitted by Vaultfire modules.
- Generates anonymized behavioral tokens (`mlk_*`) that are mirrored across the
  stealth layer.
- Integrates with ShadowFrost's quantum fallback negotiations and Ghostshroud's
  override routing through `ShadowFrostDeceptionLayer` and `ShadowBridge`.
- Streams every event through the MirrorConsent Engine to keep the tamper-proof
  consent ledger aligned with Consent+.

### `timing_cloak.py`
- Introduces adaptive jitter, out-of-order triggers, and packet disguises to
  obscure timestamps, frequency signatures, and data footprints.
- Used by the Mirrorlock core when issuing behavior tokens to avoid timing
  correlation.

### `mirrorbridge.py`
- Produces synthetic identity mappings for `bpow20.cb.id` across Ethereum, Base,
  Zora, and Worldcoin.
- Emits cross-network mirror events that keep Ghostkey-316 activity aligned
  without revealing deterministic fingerprints.

### MirrorConsent Engine
- Offers opt-in presets (`passive`, `aggressive`, `off-grid`) to control privacy
  aggressiveness.
- Integrates directly with [`consent_plus.py`](consent_plus.py) to reuse the
  Consent+ registry, kill-switch logic, and override routes.
- Maintains a chained, non-identifiable ledger so the privacy posture can be
  audited without leaking behavioral context.

## Lineage & References
- Builds on the Ghostshroud principles captured in
  [`GHOSTSHROUD_PROTOCOL.md`](GHOSTSHROUD_PROTOCOL.md).
- Extends the ShadowFrost deception patterns from
  [`SHADOWFROST_PROTOCOL.md`](SHADOWFROST_PROTOCOL.md).
- Honors the Ghostkey-316 ethics lineage documented in
  [`ghostkey_manifesto.md`](ghostkey_manifesto.md) and the override history
  maintained in [`ethics_lock.py`](ethics_lock.py).

## Operational Notes
- All Mirrorlock events are hashed into the MirrorConsent ledger before being
  surfaced to dashboards or analytics feeds.
- Adaptive timing defaults to the `passive` profile but can be elevated to
  `aggressive` or `off-grid` depending on mission context.
- Cross-chain mirror routes can be refreshed on demand to invalidate any leaked
  identities without disrupting consent alignment.
