Cortex OS CTO Endgoal

Endgoal: Maintain child-local CTO planning for governed execution routing, adapter design, transportability, and validation scaffolds without Core authority, Runtime authority, backend ownership, vendor-source authority, execution-backend authority, or readiness claims.

Pickup

Route: cto at /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/cto. Endgoal: maintain child-local CTO planning that can route governed execution work without becoming Core authority, a Runtime, or a backend owner. Stage: CLEAN after python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py passes. Clean score: 100. Authority boundary: child-local CTO planning workspace only; not Core authority, Runtime authority, Host Runtime authority, backend owner authority, vendor-source authority, external developer repo authority, execution-backend authority, or readiness authority. Validator: python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py. Legacy-work relation: old CTO planning, adapter design, transportability, Case/Hermes/Pi/Codex/backend, and validation scaffold work is reference-only unless docs/LEGACY-INGEST.md admits the intention. Distill route and planning contracts; do not import vendor source, backend state, runtime behavior, or implementation mass because they exist.

Read docs/LEGACY-INGEST.md before broad cleanup, restart, or old-work ingestion. It captures the intention behind mature CTO clusters and rejects implementation mass that does not serve the current endgoal.

This workspace is a child-local planning workspace for the Cortex OS CTO product line.

It is not Cortex OS Core authority. It is not a Runtime. It is not a Host Runtime.

Workspace Classification

Use this workspace for child-local CTO planning, adapter design, transportability briefs, and validation scaffolds.

Do not claim Core authority from this workspace. Promotion into Core requires a governed Core route.

Editing Rule

Before editing, classify the work and keep it inside this workspace unless Core explicitly routes promotion.

After editing, run:

python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py

For governance text, follow Core caveman prose discipline.

Protected Boundaries

Do not mutate ../core/ from this workspace.
Do not mutate vendor source.
Do not mutate external developer repositories.
Do not create Runtime behavior without a Core-approved route.
Do not treat Case, Hermes, Pi, Codex, or any execution backend as Cortex OS authority.
