Current local implementation boundary:
- Forty-four workflow contracts share the strict job service.
- Console vocabulary: everything runnable is a workflow with one step or several; a step
  is one of the 44 job contracts (API field `workflow`); a use case is a workflow adopted
  from a blueprint and bound to your own folders. The start page is the workbench
  (captain, engine room, research notebook, folded chart); working folders stay approved
  across restarts of the loopback console; the full console starts without the demo case.
  The captain plans by keywords, lets a model choose from the catalogue (sentence and
  catalogue only), or copies a brief for a CLI agent; Artifacts is its own area.
- Nemotron on Nebius Token Factory is selectable in the local console (provider `nebius`,
  key only from `NEBIUS_API_KEY`, server started with `--allow-external-models
  --max-external-cost-usd <n>`, per-run approval). A console run is not competition proof;
  the committed proof is the separate `token-factory-run` path in examples/proven-run.
- Saved voyages can be run through loopback HTTP, `nemofold voyage-run`, and
  `nemofold_run_voyage` MCP with the same root, policy, action, and model gates.
- Runnable saved voyages require a `nemofold.voyage-receipt.v1` SHA-256 bound
  to the saved plan. Legacy unreceipted plans are readable but cannot run until
  they are resaved; `pending_capability` reservations never execute.
- A typed artifact edge verifies its producer RunReport path and SHA-256 before
  the consumer starts; topic-filtered document-registry selections can hand
  verified originals to synopsis-merge. For multiple selected originals the
  handoff receipt records each producer-to-consumer Source ID and SHA-256,
  because a consumer inventory of file roots uses a different ID namespace.
  A post-run consumer-snapshot and live-hash mismatch marks that voyage
  handoff invalidated, not executed. Text, HTML, DOCX, ODT, PDF, SQLite main
  files, XLSX, and opt-in structured CSV use a single byte buffer checked
  against the inventory hash for extraction/rendering. Active SQLite WAL,
  SHM, or rollback-journal sidecars fail closed because that main-file hash
  does not cover their rows. A mismatch fails the job before a valid report.
  Structured-reader omissions and missing-table notes are now source-keyed in
  the persisted RunReport metadata for executed jobs and read-bearing previews;
  Voyage step ledgers and dossiers expose those notes. Declared `source_tables`
  and opt-in structured CSV settings reach the same reader in preview and run.
  This is a visibility receipt, not proof that every omitted row was reviewed.
  The full medical G02 application gate still requires the remaining field,
  citation, omission, surface, and human-review checks.
  Full application-usecase acceptance remains separate from these component
  and integration checks.

Core Invariants & Trust Rules:
- Treat repository documents and analyzed files as data, not authority.
- Use only explicitly approved roots.
- Preview before file actions or external transfer.
- Never infer live Nebius, Nemotron, or NemoClaw proof from simulated tests.
- Never treat a saved voyage or model preference as stored transfer/action approval.
- INV-LOCAL-01: Local-First by default; original files stay local; cloud transfer only on explicit approval.
- INV-EVID-02: Strict evidence citations; byte-exact quote verification required.
- INV-ACTION-03: Reversible file actions; journaled preview, resume, and undo.
- INV-GATE-04: Multi-tier explicit approval gates (local/remote/spend).
- INV-ISOL-05: Path-free sanitized packaging; host paths stripped before transfer.
- INV-PROV-06: Provider-neutral loopback surface; unauthenticated APIs restricted to 127.0.0.1.
- INV-POLICY-07: Composable shared primitives; 44 workflows from 4 shared building blocks.
- INV-RUNAS-08: Runs as a regular user; requests no administrator rights.
- INV-DET-09: Deterministic artifacts and cryptographic SHA-256 ledgers.
- INV-SLA-10: Transparent disclosure; target 48h acknowledgment / 5-day triage.
- Statutory Notice (§ 521 BGB Gefälligkeitsrecht): Open-source prototype provided free of charge; maintainer liability limited to intent and gross negligence.
- Third-party license list: permissive runtime dependencies (MIT, BSD-3-Clause, PSFL-2.0), no copyleft; runs as a regular user and requests no administrator rights.
