abstract: >-
  An OS-level substrate for AI agents providing ten primitives:
  spawn, acap (signed capability tokens), namespaces, ulimit-tok
  (per-agent quotas), chexec (taint-tracked tool execution),
  audit (content-addressed event log), handoff (downscoped task
  transfer), snapshot, vault (server-side credential injection),
  and outcomes (rubric-graded iteration). Runs above Modal-class
  sandboxes and below MCP/A2A wire formats. Apache 2.0.
