+# Svrnty Vision Legacy Ingest
+
+Schema: `cortex.svrnty-vision.legacy-ingest.v1`
+Last reviewed: `2026-06-18`
+
+This file is Svrnty Vision child-local operator state. It is not Cortex OS Core
+SOT, not Seed installation authority, not Runtime startup authority, not Docker
+lifecycle authority, not Profile Exposure authority, not provider authority, not
+credential access, and not readiness or release approval.
+
+Legacy vision work is assessed by intention first. Old work is kept, ported,
+archived outside the umbrella, deferred, or rejected only after the useful
+intention is identified and compared against the current Svrnty Vision route.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Do not import BTE service coupling, cloud-provider credentials, backend state,
+  runtime behavior, Docker lifecycle effects, or wildcard tool grants.
+- Do not start FastAPI/Uvicorn, Docker, Runtime, VLM, FLUX, Spark, ComfyUI,
+  vLLM, rembg, palette extraction, or cloud image providers from cleanup work.
+- Keep records compact: refs, intention, current coverage, decision, closure
+  gate, and forbidden effects.
+
+## Current Gates
+
+### BTE-Embedded Vision Extraction
+
+- Source refs: `src/svrnty_vision/`, `README.md`, and BTE-shaped route-adapter
+  docs.
+- Intention: move VLM, FLUX, palette, and cutout capability out of BTE so BTE
+  remains narrow and sovereign-first.
+- Current coverage: met as standalone FastAPI gateway source with local
+  validator and documented BTE-shaped HTTP adapters.
+- Decision: keep as active route-local source; do not re-import BTE coupling.
+- Closure gate: BTE reintegration, endpoint calls, or Runtime startup requires
+  governed approval and redacted proof.
+
+### Visual Perception Package Candidate
+
+- Source refs: `docs/VISION-PACKAGE-CANDIDATE.md`,
+  `docs/VISUAL-EVIDENCE-CONTRACT.md`,
+  `docs/VISION-HOST-ADAPTER-CANDIDATES.md`, and `candidate-manifests/`.
+- Intention: preserve a Cortex OS candidate package for canonical sense
+  `VISION` without granting Seed installation, Runtime startup, or wildcard
+  tool authority.
+- Current coverage: met as package-candidate docs, host-adapter candidates,
+  tool-grant manifests, and visual-evidence contract.
+- Decision: keep as candidate material only.
+- Closure gate: Core promotion, Seed installation, Profile Exposure, or
+  wildcard grants require separate governed route approval.
+
+### Provider And Heavy-Model Boundaries
+
+- Source refs: `README.md`, `.env.example`, `src/svrnty_vision/settings.py`,
+  and route docs.
+- Intention: document Spark-hosted heavy model dependencies while keeping the
+  child route from owning those services or credentials.
+- Current coverage: met as operator/developer docs and settings shape.
+- Decision: keep only configuration shape and boundary docs.
+- Closure gate: provider calls, Spark/ComfyUI/vLLM calls, credential reads, or
+  Docker/server startup are outside cleanup authority.
