CTO Index

Route: cto. Path: /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/cto. Category: child-local CTO planning workspace for governed execution routing. Validator: python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py.

Read Order

1. AGENTS.md for the universal and repo-custom agent contract.
2. README.md for route posture, boundaries, and current stage.
3. docs/LEGACY-INGEST.md for old-work intention distillation.
4. .sot/03-PROTOCOLS/ only for the specific planning or evidence packet needed.
5. WORKBOARD.yaml for child-local work state.

Local Authority

CTO owns child-local execution-routing planning, adapter design, transportability briefs, staged proof gates, target-repo admission templates, approval packets, evidence interface contracts, and validation scaffolds.

CTO is not Core authority, Runtime authority, Host Runtime authority, backend ownership, vendor-source authority, external developer repo authority, execution-backend authority, provider authority, target-repo mutation authority, Profile Exposure authority, release authority, production-readiness authority, or product-readiness authority.

Legacy Relation

Old CTO planning, Case/Hermes/Pi/Codex/backend, provider, retention, and target-sandbox work is admitted by intention only. Do not activate Case as default backend, mutate target repositories, mutate vendor source, call providers, read secrets, rerun Harness/Case, mutate Core/Seed/sibling/OpenDesign, archive/delete, publish, deploy, release, or import implementation mass because it exists.

Completion State

Stage: CLEAN. Clean score: 100. Current next pass: keep CTO navigable as planning-only; new execution requires explicit governed admission, approval, and fresh evidence.
