AI-rule safety

LLMs are great at drafting JSON business rules — and that's exactly the risk. A plausible-looking rule can still encode the wrong field, the wrong threshold, or the wrong action. Neuron-JS exists so AI-drafted rules become safe to run: schema-validated, constrained to a developer-owned vocabulary, reviewable like code, and explainable after the fact.

AI drafts. Neuron-JS verifies.

1. AI can draft rules

A plausible JSON rule can still encode the wrong assumption, field, or action — it is not production-ready on its own.

A developer inspects an amber LLM-generated JSON rule card. A small rose warning marker highlights a risky business assumption, with text saying the draft is not production-ready.

2. Validate before runtime

Schema-first checks (validateScript) reject malformed scripts before they ever execute, and return the exact JSON path to fix.

A JSON rule passes through a schema validation gate. One invalid path is blocked in rose with an exact JSON path, while a corrected rule exits with an emerald pass marker.

3. Constrain what can run

A developer-owned registry defines the approved actions, conditions, parameters, and rules. Anything outside that vocabulary simply cannot execute — no arbitrary code.

A validated rule enters a developer-owned registry boundary. Approved action and condition tiles connect in cyan, while an unapproved action is blocked outside the boundary.

4. Review like code

Generated rules are serializable data, so they go through the same governance as code: tests, owner approval, and rollback — never automatic AI approval.

A generated rule card sits beside a review checklist showing tests, owner approval, and rollback snapshot. The visual emphasizes governance before production use.

5. Then execute deterministically

Synapse runs the approved rule path deterministically, and the explanation trace shows why the decision matched or failed — ready for audit, logs, or a support ticket.

An approved JSON rule flows into a Synapse execution node. A result card and violet explanation trace rows show why the rule matched and what action ran, with the caption "AI drafts. Neuron-JS verifies."

In short

Validate → constrain → test → approve → execute → explain. Deterministic workflow logic with auditability is the guardrail that makes AI-assisted business rules safe to ship.
