Receipt-bound brief · 2026.08.21
Evidence-gated agentic engineering
Sapphire Alpha coordinates local, dedicated GPU, and cloud intelligence to produce tested implementation, independent review, and inspectable evidence. Kadima is the sole authority: models propose; deterministic policy decides what may proceed.
What the system delivers
Every lane has a job, a permission ceiling, and an evidence requirement. Capability can evolve without moving the accountability boundary.
Working software and structured research, checked against explicit acceptance criteria.
Independent reasoning pressure-tests decisions before they become trusted work.
Private local inference, a dedicated GPU worker, and Vertex AI REST extend capacity without inheriting authority.
Governed specialist portfolio
The source-bound catalog records eight governed lanes. “Contracted” describes a permission posture—not current availability or an uptime claim.
Orchestration, implementation, and acceptance work behind native gates.
Proposal-only synthesis over Vertex AI REST, with zero tools in the accepted canary.
Independent read-only review behind the same policy boundary.
Long-context planning with outward actions denied.
Plan-mode coding analysis without an independent action path.
Local coding work behind repository policy, tests, and native gates.
Local advisory reasoning with tools disabled.
Private model work routed through the same bounded contract.
Operating contract
Autonomy expands inside a deterministic envelope. The boundary does not change when the model, machine, or provider changes.
A bounded task contract names the goal, surfaces, and prohibited actions.
Kadima selects a specialist by evidence, privacy, cost, and current capacity.
Tests and artifacts make completion inspectable instead of rhetorical.
External messages, production changes, identity, and money remain Owner-gated.
Public evidence snapshot
This dated catalog was generated from the canonical coder-mesh contract, an accepted Vertex canary receipt, and the accepted public-boundary receipt. It is not a live health dashboard or an invitation to connect.
Open the machine-readable snapshotThe snapshot publishes hashes and bounded claims, never private topology, mission records, secrets, or control surfaces.
This evidence is more than seven days old. Treat it as historical until a newly reviewed snapshot replaces it.
