What this manual is
This is the execution and operating-doctrine manual for Matías's governed Office.
It does not own live operational state. The current system boundary is:
Control Tower / governed Sheets
↓
Office coherent generation
↓
typed work + Staff preparation + Principal surface
↓
execution packets / human pulls
↓
evidence + receipts
↓
reviewed reentry
Human-facing sites such as Weekly Ops Governance and Event & Institutional Frontier consume or route to compiled views. They are not parallel databases.
Authority
- Control Tower v2 owns governed operational state such as front identity, carry posture, capabilities, operator contracts, support artifacts, repository/workspace bindings, and runtime-health projections.
- office-auto-lab owns current Office compilation semantics and coherent-generation artifacts.
- The repository-estate control plane owns repository identity and estate semantics. A repository is not an operational front.
- Ops Manual owns doctrine: bounded execution, evidence, checks, runbooks, closure/reentry conventions, and conceptual tools such as
VACChainandEndpoint. - Weekly Ops Governance owns human week routing, cadence heuristics, board conventions, and lightweight recurring routines.
- Frontier UIs are read-oriented renderers over published views unless an explicit write contract says otherwise.
The operating loop
- Start from the latest valid Office generation or another governed published view.
- Read the small current work surface instead of reopening the full universe.
- If Principal judgment is required, decide only the bounded question presented.
- Execute one bounded move with clear evidence and a stop rule.
- Leave a restartable next pointer when work remains.
- Return evidence/receipt for reviewed reentry.
If you only remember five terms
- Front — stable operational identity.
- VACChain — conceptual model of how a front creates value.
- Endpoint — a verifiable claim that a value-producing step is done or healthy.
- Typed work — Office v2 facets:
DECIDE,UNBLOCK,VERIFY,EXECUTE,MAINTAIN. - Published view — disposable read contract compiled from governed state for a renderer or human surface.
What moved out of this manual
Fine-grained cadence and horizon heuristics belong in Weekly Ops Governance. This manual no longer treats Mon/Wed/Fri carry touches, fixed 14-day constructs, exact daily compile counts, or similar timing patterns as universal system semantics.
They may still be useful weekly-governance defaults.
