docs(KI-9): Land Stewardship Trust methodology #105

Merged

KI-9 — Kokonut Syntropic Land Stewardship Trust Methodology (v1.1-hardening)

Status: DRAFT. A methodology, not a code change — it operationalizes the Kokonut Framework into a replicable stewardship procedure using schema that already exists in KI.

Grounded in two sources

Kokonut Framework (queried via the Kokonut MCP at kokonut.network/mcp): manifesto/values, 5 Principles of Regeneration, 4 development phases, 13-field Common Data Schema, MRV→EAS→Data Hub pipeline.
Kokonut Intelligence code: land_stewardship_commitment, regenerative_outcome_summary, adaptive_stewardship_review, capital_alignment_assessment, community_governance_mechanism — all governed by draft→verified→published and gated to farm_registry_record.

Deliverables

docs/land-stewardship-trust.md: the methodology — why it exists, the Trust instruments (mapped to real tables), the 5-step adoption procedure, enforcement guardrails, and a replicability checklist for any KI adopter.
tests/test_land_stewardship_trust.py: asserts the enforcement gates exist (lifecycle columns, v_public_* farm_registry verification join, commons_trust_pathway model). Runs against live schema in CI/staging.

Key design decision

The Trust is enforced by existing schema, not new tables:

v_public_* views require status='published' + evidence_maturity >= 3 + a verified farm_registry_record — no public claim without a registered farm.
commons_trust_pathway is a first-class stewardship_model value.
commons_reinvestment_commitment_pct CHECK enforces capital discipline.

Out of scope

Legal trust instrument / title transfer, on-chain land title (future EAS extension), MiCA token treatment (KI-11).

CI

Doc + tests. Test file runs against the live KI schema (CI/staging have it); locally it requires the SOPS-backed DB like other migration/integration tests.

docs(ki9): Land Stewardship Trust methodology grounded in Framework + KI schema

- docs/land-stewardship-trust.md: operationalizes the Kokonut Framework
  (manifesto, 5 regeneration principles, 4 phases, 13-field schema) into a
  replicable stewardship procedure. No new tables — uses existing
  land_stewardship_commitment (commons_trust_pathway), regenerative_outcome_summary,
  adaptive_stewardship_review, capital_alignment_assessment, community_governance_mechanism.
- Tests assert the enforcement gates exist: governed lifecycle columns, the
  v_public_* farm_registry verification join, and commons_trust_pathway model.
- Grounded via Kokonut MCP (kokonut.network/mcp) for values/vision/mission.

test(ki9): fix fixture usage in land stewardship trust tests

Use the repo's  fixture (real connection via get_db) instead of the
nonexistent  fixture. This was the cause of CI #435's 7 setup errors.
Tests now skip cleanly when no DB is available.

test(ki9): make farm_registry gate assertion case/format-robust

pg_get_viewdef may reformat the SQL (case/spacing), so assert on the
lowercased viewdef containing 'farm_registry_record' + 'verified'/'published'
rather than the exact literal string. This was the last failing assertion in
CI #436.
