# 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
**Hermes Control Surface**:
A Hermes-facing summary and replay surface for CTO Harness state, approval context, and evidence links. It controls visibility and interaction but does not govern.
_Avoid_: Core authority, runtime default switch, backend approval source
