Cortex OS CTO Context

This context defines local product language for the Cortex OS CTO planning workspace. It is child-local glossary language and does not create Core authority.

Language

CTO Product Surface: A governed operator-facing product area for delegating bounded code-change work while preserving Cortex OS authority, evidence, and approval rules. Avoid: CTO app, autonomous developer, coding bot

Case Candidate Backend: The proposed Case-based execution backend for real-repo code-change work, admitted only after adapter proof, validator coverage, and governed routing. Avoid: Case default, Case authority, replacement kernel

CTO Harness: The adapter conformance and evidence validation module that normalizes backend behavior into a stable CTO evidence interface. Avoid: execution authority, final reviewer, product readiness proof

Harness Evidence Interface: The stable artifact and event contract used to compare backends and prove bounded execution results. Avoid: loose evidence bundle, backend logs, success claim

Target Repository: The owned source repository receiving bounded, approved, evidence-producing code changes. Avoid: vendor source, hidden workspace, disposable scratch by default

Copied Repository Fixture: A runtime copy of an owned local source repository used to prove backend behavior without mutating the source repository or a Target Repository. Avoid: Target Repository, live repo, external developer source
