+# Svrnty Vision Endgoal
+
+Route: `svrnty-vision` at `/home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/svrnty-vision`.
+Endgoal: keep `svrnty-vision` as the child-local sovereign vision HTTP gateway and Visual Perception Package Candidate for VLM analysis, FLUX rendering, palette extraction, and cutout work without Core authority, Seed installation authority, Runtime startup authority, Profile Exposure authority, provider admission, wildcard tool access, or product-readiness claims.
+Stage: CLEAN after `python3 tools/validate_svrnty_vision_child.py` passes.
+Clean score: 100.
+Authority boundary: child-local vision gateway and package-candidate workspace only; not Core authority, Runtime authority, Host Runtime authority, Profile Exposure authority, provider authority, Docker/runtime lifecycle authority, or readiness authority.
+Validator: `python3 tools/validate_svrnty_vision_child.py`.
+Legacy-work relation: older BTE-embedded vision, cloud-provider SDK, VLM, FLUX, palette, rembg, Visual Evidence, and package-candidate work is distilled into this standalone gateway only when current docs and validators admit the intention. Do not import provider credentials, backend state, runtime behavior, or implementation mass because it exists.
