+
+## Ports
+
+- Input adapter: translates a host’s observable state into the generic contract.
+- Core: deterministic policy/mechanism under test.
+- Evidence store: immutable or append-only artifacts where required.
+- Output adapter: returns a bounded receipt to the host.
+
+## Independence
+
+Host-specific adapters are optional and removable. Disabling the project should return the host to its prior behavior. No core module may import Taslos Tasks internals.

+# Benchmark plan
+
+## Rule zero: correctness gate
+
+Efficiency results are comparable only when every candidate passes the same deterministic correctness and safety gates. Incorrect, indeterminate, and policy-violating runs remain visible but are excluded from superiority claims.
+
+## Baselines
+
+1. Current conventional mechanism without this project.
+2. The narrowest deterministic alternative.
+3. This project at an exact revision and configuration.
+
+## Measurements
+
+- route correctness
+- constraint violations
+- quality
+- price
+- fallback/retry outcomes
+- reason reproducibility
+
+## Repetition and reporting
+
+Record model, provider, model version, reasoning effort, tool versions, fixture, prompt, environment/hardware, repetition count, observable tool activity, final result, correctness, cost/tokens when available, and known confounders. Report distributions and raw observations; never invent missing values.
+
+## Adversarial cases
+
+- Attempt to violate: Every route produces a durable structured reason.
+- Attempt to violate: Strict authorization is checked before provider process or credential exposure where possible.
+- Attempt to violate: Provider availability is revisioned evidence.
+- Attempt to violate: Forbidden alternatives remain forbidden.
+
+## Result policy
+
+Retain positive, negative, null, and failed experiments. Update maturity only when the actual stated hypothesis has reproducible evidence.

+# Origin
+
+This mechanism was developed or exercised inside an autonomous task-orchestration system before being generalized as an independent Opsle research project.
+
+The read-only research snapshot inspected Taslos Tasks at commit `e2b061dd4ee1404ef59b27a9a76bf97a8fbbde1c` on 2026-08-25 UTC. Provenance is descriptive, not a claim that the generalized hypothesis is proven.
+
+No private application code, credentials, environment data, internal addresses, database contents, or unrelated user data were copied. Historical evidence remains historically named; the active predecessor was not renamed or modified.

Gearbox remains independently usable. `src/opsle_gearbox/route.py` owns filtering, route selection, exact phase routing and explicit reasons; `tests/test_route.py` verifies it. These historical specifications are reference constraints, not claims that every research hypothesis is implemented. No second policy engine or dependency on Tasks is introduced.

+# Agent Routing Policy
+
+> Experimental Opsle research. Claims are hypotheses until evidence supports them.
+
+## Problem
+
+Opaque routing can violate provider budgets, reviewer independence, access boundaries, or exact model/profile constraints.
+
+## Hypothesis
+
+A vendor-neutral policy that emits a durable structured reason can make adaptive and strict routes auditable and safely enforceable.
+
+## Mechanism
+
+Filter and rank by task capability, role, project access, allowlists/exclusions, availability, model/profile, preference, price, empirical performance, purpose, reviewer independence, and fallback eligibility; support strict immutable route envelopes.
+
+## Why it matters
+
+The Opsle thesis asks: **What if we stopped using intelligence for work that doesn’t require intelligence?** This project isolates one candidate boundary so it can be falsified and measured independently.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+Claiming desired routes are implemented, universal cheapest-model routing, or probing credentials before authorization.
+
+## Current maturity
+
+**THEORY** under the [Opsle maturity model](https://github.com/opsle/research/blob/main/MATURITY.md).
+
+## Existing evidence
+
+Capability/project routing and strict controlled provider/review constraints demonstrate feasibility in one system.
+
+## Evidence still missing
+
+Quality-adjusted price experiments, comparable provider benchmarks, policy portability, and fairness/stability analysis.
+
+## Benchmark strategy
+
+Correctness gates every comparison. Planned measures:
+
+- route correctness
+- constraint violations
+- quality
+- price
+- fallback/retry outcomes
+- reason reproducibility
+
+See [BENCHMARK.md](BENCHMARK.md) for experiment rules. No benchmark numbers are claimed.
+
+## Relationship to other Opsle research
+
+This project is part of [Opsle Research](https://github.com/opsle/research). Opsle Tasks is the future public name of the integrated reference system from which several ideas emerged. Its active development migration to the Opsle organization is intentionally deferred.
+
+## Relationship to future Opsle Tasks
+
+Future Opsle Tasks may consume this project through an adapter only after evidence supports integration. The active predecessor, Taslos Tasks, remains unchanged and has no dependency on this repository.
+
+## Installation status
+
+No installable production package is justified yet. The repository is theory/specification-first.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+Quality-adjusted price experiments, comparable provider benchmarks, policy portability, and fairness/stability analysis.
+
+## License
+
+Apache-2.0. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).

+# Specification
+
+Status: experimental theory contract.
+
+## Compatibility boundary
+
+The primitive accepts generic structured input and emits generic structured output. It must not require a Taslos Tasks database, worker, scheduler, package, runtime path, or private service.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `protocol_version`: explicit version.
+- `operation_id`: stable idempotency identity.
+- `policy_revision`: the exact policy/configuration revision.
+- `subject`: vendor-neutral request data required by this concept.
+- `evidence`: observable artifacts with provenance.
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `status`: accepted, rejected, deferred, or indeterminate.
+- `reason`: durable structured reason.
+- `changed_entities`: bounded identities, never ambient state.
+- `evidence`: provenance-linked receipts.
+- `uncertainty`: explicit unknowns.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- Every route produces a durable structured reason.
+- Strict authorization is checked before provider process or credential exposure where possible.
+- Provider availability is revisioned evidence.
+- Forbidden alternatives remain forbidden.
+
+## Failure behavior
+
+Missing required authority or evidence fails closed. Unsupported optional data remains explicit and does not silently widen behavior. Implementations must document idempotency, crash consistency, and raw-evidence escalation.
+
+## Versioning
+
+Breaking semantic changes require a new protocol version. New optional fields require evidence that they affect a real decision.
