01Re-entry and boot surface
Operator Console
The fast landing zone: re-enter, choose BOOT, run a safe low-judgment path, or start the first focus block.
Actual docs, schematic navigation
The seven cards route to files that exist today.
No private dev journal, sheet, repo, or context registry link is exposed here. The cards are public navigation affordances over the current manual.
02Shared contracts
Core Ontology
Stable definitions for projects, work units, VAC chains, endpoints, frontier, modes, operators, and evidence.
03Compile, decide, reingest
Office Regulator
The governance layer that keeps the Principal away from raw chaos and turns state into briefs, queues, and candidates.
04MAINT / FOCUS budget
Clock and Selection
The human scheduling interface: one block, one mode, bounded evidence, WIP caps, and re-entry protocol.
05Modes and operators
Execution Machinery
The runtime contract: modes, operators, runs, debug packets, stop rules, and evidence patterns.
06Checks and runbooks
Verification Layer
Truth enforcement: smoke checks, health checks, runbooks, evidence manifests, and drift handling.
07Prepare, route, post
Thin Staff Interface
Staff Preparation Surface. This routes to the existing office and assistant compile pages instead of inventing new docs.
Small reaction cycle
Compile, act, and return state.
This is the public version of the office/cell analogy: sense current state, select a small path, prepare just enough, execute one bounded block, and reingest residue.
Public safety boundary
This page routes to manuals, not private sources.
The manual can describe the operating architecture publicly while private links remain injected only when an agent or local workflow needs them.
