The bootstrap-to-federation landing path is largely complete. Phases 0 through 6 have already been landed as source and runtime seams:
- modular runtime bootstrap
- service extraction and profile-aware lifecycle wrappers
- Intel-aware and Windows-usable hardening

The live v0.2.2 contour is runtime-substrate hardening, not a new source of
AoA or ToS meaning. Its current checked surface is:
- source/deployed split and parity posture:
README.md,CHARTER.md,BOUNDARIES.md,docs/PATHS.md,docs/DEPLOYMENT.md,scripts/aoa-sync-configs,scripts/validate_stack.py, andscripts/release_check.py - diagnostic spine and repair-safe handoff contracts:

This contour keeps the source checkout ~/src/abyss-stack separate from the
deployed /srv/abyss-stack/Configs mirror. It names runtime contracts,
advisory seams, and validation paths without claiming live service mutation or
meaning-layer authority.
The main remaining work is live runtime-loop consumption, operational cutover choices, platform hardening, and keeping deployed/runtime truth aligned with source-authored posture.
Those landings should be read carefully:
- landed seams in source and deployed mirrors are not the same thing as a fully green federated control-plane verdict
- the
federationprofile remains opt-in rather than part of the default promoted presets - current operator truth still depends on parity, promoted runtime verify, and
aoa-status --autonomy --json
- establish repository charter and boundaries
- create modular compose skeleton
- define first runtime profiles
- define env and secrets posture
- write migration notes from
abyss-stack_old
- reintroduce storage services cleanly
- reintroduce orchestration and local inference
- reintroduce gateway and agent API modules
- reintroduce speech, browser, and monitoring modules
- add smoke and health routines
- add profile-aware lifecycle wrappers
- add backup and restore helpers
- add validation for compose coherence
- reduce environment-specific assumptions where possible
- enforce the new
/srv/abyss-stackcanonical runtime root - make the Fedora-first and Windows-usable path model explicit
- make deployment from source checkout to runtime tree explicit and repeatable
- clarify local versus hybrid execution paths
- refine Intel and OVMS posture
- define clean bridges to sibling AoA repositories
- keep the stack legible under growth
- resist monolith relapse
- let new capability arrive as modules and profiles rather than as hidden sprawl
- decide which federation seams remain advisory-only and which become part of the live loop
- introduce bounded recall, playbook, eval, and KAG consumption in explicit steps
- preserve source-owned authority while adding runtime utility
- keep runtime cleanup repeatable and legible
- validate reboot and cold-start behavior
- tighten runtime-secret hygiene and stateful-data discipline
- keep Windows and Fedora rollout paths aligned with the same operational model
