EU AI Act Article 50 TypeScript/JavaScript implementation handoff — August 2026 #1

Description

@stevenknowswhy

A compact engineering handoff for teams whose counsel or named compliance owner has already decided that an EU AI Act Article 50 transparency change is required.

Bounded implementation checklist

  • Identify one TypeScript/JavaScript product and no more than three user-facing surfaces.
  • Record the exact counsel-approved disclosure or marking text.
  • Define when it appears: first interaction, generated output, export, or another approved event.
  • Name the product owner and engineer who can approve the change.
  • Provide staging access through least privilege and a reproducible test path.
  • Add automated checks plus dated screenshots or equivalent evidence.
  • Keep legal applicability, wording, audits, and certification outside the engineering task.

Primary sources

The Commission's 20 July 2026 guidelines state that the Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. This handoff does not decide whether an obligation applies; qualified counsel or the buyer's authorized compliance owner retains that decision.

Working proof

The repository includes a fictional before/after implementation and evidence artifact. The public scope, acceptance rules, terms, privacy policy, and advisor handoff are here:

Before sharing product details:

Reusable technical proof:

  • Node 24 implementation-evidence guard v1.3.0 validates a bounded implementation manifest and explicitly makes no legal or compliance determination.
  • Inbound voice-agent proof v1.2.0 provides secrets-free LiveKit and Vapi references, a fictional audio demo, and 17 passing tests for AI disclosure, consent-before-capture, opt-out handling, bounded capture, and safe output. It creates no live phone resource and exposes no private checkout.

Current delivery window

Forhemit Labs has two fixed-capacity implementation slots at $9,800 each: one TS/JS web product, up to three approved surfaces, no more than 24 engineering hours, five business days, tests/evidence, and a seven-day correction window.

The founding purchase window closes 3 August 2026 at 20:00:53 UTC, or earlier if both slots are purchased. A human reviews fit before any private checkout is shared.

This is implementation only. Forhemit is not a law firm, does not decide whether Article 50 applies, and does not certify compliance.

Questions or counsel/advisor handoffs:

Do not send credentials, sensitive code, payment-card details, or other secrets through either email route.
