# CTO Workspace Intent

This workspace holds planning artifacts for a Cortex OS CTO product surface.

It is child-local. It does not create Core SOT authority.

## Purpose

- Define the CTO product boundary.
- Design the Hermes CTO control layer.
- Evaluate Case as the default code-change execution backend.
- Preserve Cortex OS authority separation.
- Produce route-ready briefs for later Core promotion.

## Non-Authority Notice

Artifacts here are planning outputs. Core promotion requires a governed Core route, Core validator coverage, and Evidence.
