The release architecture is documented in docs/MOONSHOT_ARCHITECTURE.md. It is the current description of the sealed host, capability packages, routing, and runtime boundaries.
- UTF-8 is the public request and response boundary.
- The core and promoted package archives are immutable after certification.
- Packages are signed, non-executable, content-addressed artifacts.
- Installation performs no receiver training, calibration, or core mutation.
- Automatic execution is archive-profile-bound, permission-filtered, and fail-closed.
- Only selected packages may execute; inactive installed packages do not receive proportional neural work.
- Incremental state is persistent and continuation decoding does not recompute completed prompt context.
- Product claims are tied to exact artifacts and raw evidence through the invalidation matrix.
The former V1/V2, byte-patch, canonical-ABI, and North Star descriptions in repository history are valuable research controls. They are not the source of truth for the sealed release unless a current certificate imports and validates their raw evidence.
