CVP verified calculation capability
Rectangular yc=(q²/g)^{1/3}. Not a Froude wrap, not specific energy, not a hydraulic jump, not Manning, not Q=Av.

Canonical symbols for this capability. Agent schemas remain the contract.
| Symbol | Quantity | Unit | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
q | Unit discharge in m²/s | — | input / output |
q_m2 | Unit discharge in m²/s | s | input |
Q | Volumetric discharge in m³/s | — | input / output |
b | Rectangular width in m | — | input / output |
yc | Critical depth in m | — | input / output |
g | Gravity in m/s² | — | input / output |
vc | — | — | output |
model | — | — | output |
Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.

Not supported
One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.
q=1 → yc=(1/g)^{1/3}
CVP VERIFIED · CVP protocol 1.0.0-proposed · Engineering assurance · Rectangular yc = (q²/g)^{1/3} with unit-discharge invert; + O3 mpmath tabulated yc.. Computational verification is defined by CVP. Supplemental domain review (internal) and named expert review are defined by the Review policy and do not by themselves determine CVP conformance.
Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version.
Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json
and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 5/5.
