+
+# Desktop Nightly
+
+Desktop Nightly is an ephemeral developer snapshot, not an Apache release. It builds the current `main` commit every day so contributors can try recent Desktop changes and report problems without waiting for an ASF source-release vote.
+
+The npm publication workflow gives each snapshot an immutable version such as `0.2.0-dev.42.20260829`. The run number is the sole ordering authority. After that exact npm version is public, it triggers Desktop Nightly with a version-only artifact; the authenticated workflow event supplies the exact source commit and upstream run. Each fresh Desktop Nightly creates a `v<version>` tag protected by the checked-in `Immutable release tags` ruleset and one GitHub draft prerelease containing the macOS and Windows packages, blockmaps, `dev-mac.yml`, `dev.yml`, and one offline Sigstore bundle. The workflow verifies every remote asset before it publishes the prerelease as non-Latest. Packaged Nightlies use the GitHub `dev` channel and verify that downloaded bytes were attested by `.github/workflows/desktop-nightly.yml` on `main`. A formal Desktop build uses the separate stable GitHub Release channel and formal product-release attestation identity.
+
+Nightly currently uses the same application identity as the formal Desktop. Installing it replaces the existing Maka installation rather than creating a second side-by-side app. Its user data remains in the same location. Testers who need the formal build should reinstall that build before returning to the formal channel. Builds previously downloaded from `nightlies.apache.org` do not migrate automatically; testers must install the newest GitHub prerelease once, after which GitHub Nightlies update automatically.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+1. After the checked-in `.asf.yaml` reaches `main`, verify that ASF reconciliation created the `nightly` GitHub Environment with only `main` permitted and no approval gate. Do not maintain that policy manually in GitHub. Configure its macOS signing and notarization secrets: `CSC_LINK`, `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`, `APPLE_API_KEY`, `APPLE_API_KEY_ID`, and `APPLE_API_ISSUER`. Do not expose these secrets to repository-wide or pull-request workflows.
+2. Configure npm Trusted Publishing for `apache/maka` and `.github/workflows/npm-publication.yml`, restricted to the `npm-publication` Environment and with both `npm publish` and `npm stage publish` allowed. Do not create or store a long-lived npm token.
+3. After npm Trusted Publishing is ready, set `NPM_NIGHTLY_ENABLED` to `true`, run `npm publication` from `main` with `channel=nightly`, and verify the exact npm version and `nightly` dist-tag.
+4. Set `DESKTOP_NIGHTLY_ENABLED` to `true` and manually dispatch a fresh npm Nightly. Confirm that its successful run triggers `Desktop Nightly`. Do not rerun a failed attempt in place.
+5. Verify that `v<version>` points to the exact source SHA and that its GitHub Release is published with Draft off, Prerelease on, Latest off, and exactly the nine expected assets. Install that prerelease on both platforms.
+6. Publish one later fresh Nightly and confirm a GitHub-to-GitHub automatic and differential update on both platforms before sharing the channel with testers.
+
+The npm schedule starts at 18:17 UTC. Before changing the npm tag, the workflow requires its run number to exceed the current `nightly` version. Desktop assembles and verifies a draft before one publish mutation; a packaging, attestation, tag, upload, or digest failure leaves no partially published GitHub Release. Never rerun a failed workflow attempt in place; dispatch a fresh npm Nightly with a newer version.
+
+GitHub Release retention is intentionally outside this workflow. Do not delete an old Nightly prerelease or its tag while any installed client may need its payload or blockmap. One Nightly is additionally pinned by tag, asset name, and SHA-256 in `scripts/windows-upgrade-baseline.json` as the Windows upgrade gate's baseline: deleting that prerelease fails the gate on every pull request that touches the Windows release path until the pin moves to another published build. Disabling `DESKTOP_NIGHTLY_ENABLED` stops new Desktop publication without mutating tags or releases.
+
+Remote Runtime Host setup uses the exact `maka-agent@<nightly-version>` package embedded in the Desktop manifest. The npm package is verified before Desktop artifacts become visible, so clean remote setup never depends on an unpublished Runtime Host version.

 name: Windows recovery
 
+# The paths below name only what a Windows runner can prove and the required
+# `test` lane cannot. Two groups.
+#
+# First, how the toolchain behaves here: `npm ci` resolution, what the
+# dependency patches and the Electron installer produce, what the clean step
+# removes, and the Local IPC trust boundary, a PowerShell script with no other
+# caller.
+#
+# Second, every file in the import closure of the suites below that branches on
+# `process.platform === 'win32'`. Those branches are skipped on Linux by
+# construction, so `test` cannot go red on them however carefully it runs.
+# `assertNoWindowsAlternateStreams` is the example that matters: it is the one
+# regression this lane has caught that no other lane could have. That second
+# group is generated rather than curated, because a hand-picked list cannot be
+# shown to be complete and this one has to be.
+#
+# What is deliberately absent is the portable rest of those workspaces. Every
+# source directory in the closure used to be here, which put this lane on 118 of
+# the last 200 merges against 40 now. Over 300 runs it never once produced a
+# pull-request red that `test` had not already produced on the same commit,
+# usually at the very same step — the portable half of these suites is ordinary
+# TypeScript, so a defect in it fails on Linux first and blocks the merge there.
+#
+# The wide filter also did not prevent the one regression it is tempting to
+# cite. #4400 changed `packages/storage/src/**`, matched that filter, ran this
+# lane three times on the pull request, and passed all three; the alternate
+# stream failure appeared only on the main push afterwards. That is a stale-base
+# interaction, which no path filter can see and which the unfiltered push below
+# exists to catch. That trigger stays unfiltered for the same reason
+# `required_status_checks` is `strict: false`, and because GitHub evaluates a
+# path filter against the first 300 files of a diff only — a repository-wide
+# sweep being exactly the change that touches every recovery authority at once.

 - Added `/transcript` to browse long TUI sessions without depending on terminal
   scrollback, with line, page, and first/last navigation.
 
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed a renderer crash dialog reporting React error #185 ("Maximum update depth
+  exceeded") coming from the composer's prompt-history inline completion (#4117): the
+  offer engine the 0.1.11 composer fed could flip-flop its announcement state on
+  real-layout measurements until React hit its nested-update limit, which surfaced as
+  the crash dialog. The unstable completion wiring was removed from the composer
+  (#3292), Astryx 0.5.0 no longer ships the engine (#3755), and regression tests now
+  keep that seam closed.
+
 ### Changed
 
+- Made typed `request()` the sole direct Runtime Host operation API; removed the 17 forwarding
+  aliases from direct and reconnecting connections while preserving status validation,
+  subscriptions, capabilities, listeners, lifecycle, and close behavior.
+- Collapsed the RuntimeRunner/Flow/Invocation shell into `RuntimeKernel`; backend dispatch,
+  terminal coalescing, stop/drain, and durable continuation admission now have one production
+  owner, immutable request snapshots remain enforced at AgentRun acceptance and backend dispatch,
+  and SessionEvent-to-RuntimeEvent conversion remains a pure mapper.
+- Retired the Task Ledger domain: SessionTodo is now the sole authority for in-session work items, and the operational-state schema drops the `workflow_task_ledger_events` table on first open. **Unfinished Tasks are not migrated and are permanently deleted.** This affects workspaces last opened by `v0.1.0` through `v0.1.11`, `cli-v0.1.0-beta.1`, `v0.2.0-incubating-rc1`, or a `v0.2.0-dev` build; those releases wrote Tasks to a table that no shipped build ever bridged into SessionTodo. Before opening such a workspace with this build, finish or export the Tasks you still need, or copy the workspace's `runtime.sqlite` aside — the migration removes the only live copy, so afterwards recovery requires a backup made in advance.
 - Unified context management under one Runtime-owned policy. `MAKA_CONTEXT_*` environment overrides no longer tune or disable compaction and Tool Result pruning; model-visible archive placeholders are read on demand through bounded `ArchiveRead` calls instead of eager hydration. Previously supported overrides are ignored on upgrade: if Tool Result pruning was set to `off`, pruning is re-enabled, and there is currently no supported replacement opt-out.

 - **The Three-Tier Reading Rule.** Prose uses primary, secondary, or muted. Neutral washes are surfaces, not extra text tiers. `--foreground-dimmed` is retired — its call sites name secondary directly — and must never come back with a definition of its own (contract-tested).
 - **The One Colorspace Rule.** Every derivation inside a token family uses one colorspace (`oklch` for ink, contract-tested). Mixing `srgb` and `oklch` derivations produces "same literal, different value" drift, and the ladder is where it bites hardest because its rungs only mean anything relative to each other.
 - **Astryx's `secondary` is not this ladder's secondary.** `Text color="secondary"` reads `--color-text-secondary`, which resolves to a fixed neutral literal outside the containers `astryx-mount.css` bridges and to `--muted-foreground` inside them. Neither is `--foreground-secondary`. One word, three results — so pick an ink tier by the token, and treat a primitive's color prop as its own vocabulary.
+- **`--color-text-disabled` is a deliberate exemption, not an oversight.** Astryx's `light-dark(#a3a3a3, #525252)` measures 2.52:1 / 2.29:1 — under the AA floor the three prose tiers hold. It stays: a disabled control read at prose contrast stops reading as disabled, and the versions of this token that clear 4.5:1 looked wrong beside the enabled rows they sit in. It is not prose and it is not a fourth tier; it is the one place the floor is traded for the state being legible *as a state*. Do not "fix" it, and do not cite it as precedent for another sub-AA value — an audit that finds it has found the exemption, not a bug.
 - **Links use the solid accent tier** (`--accent-solid`), never raw `--accent` — the accent identifies interaction, and the solid tier is the only accent variant that clears text contrast on every palette. A selection wash or outline is not link text and derives from `--accent` instead — deriving a surface from the link name lets a text-contrast rule silently govern a background.

Resolve a tier from the box, never from the token name that sounds right. The paired values agree *today* but are independent literals, not aliases — an Astryx upgrade can move one side silently, so a mismatch is a real failure mode rather than an impossibility. The chat rung is the one tier the product does not assign: `ChatMessageBubble` and `ChatComposer` both resolve `--radius-chat` on their own, which is why the bubble and the dock round together, and why setting a bubble radius or a non-default `density` in product code silently breaks the pair.

Resolve a tier from the box, never from the token name that sounds right. **The px side is the authority and the Astryx name is an alias to it** — `makaTheme.ts` emits `--radius-element: var(--radius-surface)` and its three siblings, so an upstream rung change cannot move one name out from under the other, and the ladder cannot be half in px and half in rem (which the 16px-root note in that file is the reason to avoid). Both vocabularies are live in product CSS and both are correct to read; they resolve to the same number by construction rather than by coincidence. The chat rung is the one tier the product does not assign: `ChatMessageBubble` and `ChatComposer` both resolve `--radius-chat` on their own, which is why the bubble and the dock round together, and why setting a bubble radius or a non-default `density` in product code silently breaks the pair. Astryx's `--radius-page` carries the same 28px literal but is a different token with no Maka tier and no product consumer; reaching for it to match the chat surface is inventing a rung.
 - **The Full-Bleed Rule.** `border-radius: 0` is legal only on true full-bleed rows — an element flush with its container on both sides. Radius and gap move together: if it has breathing room, it has corners.
 - **Proportional marks.** Product-drawn icon plates use ratio-owned radius (~25–27% of the box edge), recorded in prose because Stitch accepts only absolute units.

 ## 8. Color Specification
 
 The palette is cool-neutral and quiet; color is generated to spec, not picked by eye.
 
 - **Brand mark** is fixed `#71a8fd`; it identifies Maka and is never the general CTA color.
 - **Interaction accent** follows the active palette for focus, selection, and live state; **links and accent-colored text use the solid tier** (§3). Astryx's own semantic components are the exception — `Badge` and `StatusDot` carry fixed literals inherited from the neutral theme and follow neither the palette nor the families below.
-- **Status families** — `--info`, `--success`, `--warning`, `--destructive` — are generated, not picked: one lightness per mode, each hue keeping its own chroma, every member clearing AA. The residual contrast spread within a mode is hue physics — at equal lightness, yellow carries more luminance than blue — and flattening it would abandon the shared-lightness premise that makes them a family. All four are declared in one block per mode, because the time warning sat thirty lines from its siblings is the time it lost its dark override and dropped under AA unnoticed. A louder band at ~90% gamut chroma exists only for 8px status dots: dots must read at a glance, washes must not shout. These are colors; what a state *means* is a separate vocabulary (§9).
-- **Tinted surfaces** (status washes behind rows and banners) derive from the same status hues; hand-rolled `oklch()` status washes at call sites are forbidden — consume the family. The family is `--{status}-wash` (0.08 fill) and `--{status}-wash-border` (0.24, ~3x the fill), every member derived with `oklch(from var(--{status}) ...)` so a status regeneration flows through it. A **strong** tier (0.12 / 0.40) exists for warnings about data destruction or an action the user cannot undo, and for nothing else — it is not the loud option for a notice that wants attention. Palette swatches are not washes: a swatch's job is to show a palette's real colour, so its literals stay. The family is kept complete even where a rung has no consumer yet: a family with holes in it sends the next author back to hand-rolling an alpha, which is the etiology of the fourteen that drifted.
+- **Status families** — `--success`, `--warning`, `--destructive` — are generated, not picked: one lightness per mode, each hue keeping its own chroma, every member clearing AA. These are Astryx's three statuses, and Maka has no fourth: there is **no `--info` colour**. "Info" is a semantic slot, not a hue — a `tone="info"` tile paints with the accent, so an informational surface follows the user's palette instead of introducing a second blue that competes with it. `<Banner status="info">` is the one place that does not yet: `.astryx-banner.info` re-declares the tint and the text colour **on the banner element itself**, which no ancestor bridge can outrank, so info banners stay upstream's fixed blue. Converging that means overriding a component rule rather than a token, and it is tracked on #3446, not done here. The residual contrast spread within a mode is hue physics — at equal lightness, yellow carries more luminance than red — and flattening it would abandon the shared-lightness premise that makes them a family. All three are declared in one block per mode, because the time warning sat thirty lines from its siblings is the time it lost its dark override and dropped under AA unnoticed. A louder band at ~90% gamut chroma exists only for 8px status dots: dots must read at a glance, tinted surfaces must not shout. These are colors; what a state *means* is a separate vocabulary (§9).
+- **Tinted surfaces** are Astryx's own tokens: `--color-success-muted`, `--color-warning-muted`, `--color-error-muted` and `--color-accent-muted`. Product CSS reads those four names and nothing else; a hand-rolled `oklch(from var(--destructive) …)` at a call site is forbidden. **One rung, no border rung, no strong tier** — the shape upstream ships. All four are `oklch(from var(--{hue}) l c h / 0.24)`, the alpha the neutral theme's own pastels already sit at, so a Banner and a product row painted side by side read as one material. Same weight is not enough: they must be the same **construction**, because an opaque tint does not compose, and a tinted chip on a tinted panel then resolves to its parent's exact pixel and vanishes. The three status rungs are emitted by `makaTheme.ts`; `--color-accent-muted` needs the unlayered bridge in `maka-tokens.css` instead, because `maka.css` re-declares the accent pair at component level and a root rule in the same layer would lose. A border around a tinted surface is `--border`: the fill already states the status, and a second tinted edge is §4's One Means Rule. A tinted border on an **un**tinted surface is a different case and does read a `-muted` token — the stat tile's outline tones and the tool-output edges are the live examples. The Maka `--{status}-wash` / `-wash-border` vocabulary this replaced was a second authority for the same surface — its two tiers and four rungs each grew a call site that disagreed with the rung beside it. Palette swatches are not tinted surfaces: a swatch's job is to show a palette's real colour, so its literals stay.
+- **The solid tier is deliberately not converged.** `--success` / `--warning` / `--destructive` remain Maka's names for status ink, dots and solid fills, while Astryx calls the same idea `--color-success` / `--color-warning` / `--color-error`. Only the tinted tier has one authority today. Converging the solid tier means moving status text, status dots and status buttons at once; it is a change of its own, not an omission from this one.
 - **Identity colors** (avatars, channel marks) live in one 4.2–4.8:1 contrast band; desaturation for muted states happens at constant OKLab lightness.

 - **Controls:** Maka uses a 20/24/28/32/36/40px height ruler with 32px as the default; Astryx owns the 28/32/36px variants. Hover is restrained; press may use `scale(0.98)`; keyboard focus is always visible. At most one inverted (filled) element per control. Hover washes come in exactly two lanes: product rows and controls take `--state-hover-bg`; chrome that must stay in lockstep with Astryx internals takes `--color-overlay-hover`. Hand-mixed hover alphas are drift.

 - **Badges and status:** Badge is 20px high and pill-shaped. Choose variants by meaning, not hue.
-- **Status vocabulary:** what a state means is named once, in `packages/ui/src/status-vocabulary.ts`, and every status dot resolves its color through it — a surface never maps its own domain state onto a color. The semantics are `success` (proven healthy), `active` (the system is working), `attention` (waiting on a person), `error` (broken now), `neutral` (a settled fact); collapsing `active` and `attention` is the mistake that vocabulary exists to prevent. It deliberately has no `info` — two callers meant opposite things by it — but that is a statement about *dot semantics*, not about the `--info` color, which is live. Note that Astryx's `Badge` and `StatusDot` render fixed inherited literals, so an Astryx `info` pill and Maka's `--info` are two unrelated blues that merely look alike; a dot's color does not come from the family in §8.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision-making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

+The OS user account is Maka's outer trust envelope. Inside that envelope,
+Runtime Host also routes selected agent tool effects through OS-enforced child
+process sandboxes when the active session has a restricted managed
+`ExecutionBoundary`. On macOS and Linux, non-PTY Bash commands and the
+filesystem worker run through Seatbelt and bubblewrap respectively. On
+Windows, the AppContainer boundary currently covers the purpose-built
+filesystem worker only; arbitrary-shell Bash is unavailable and fails closed
+when the active profile requires a command sandbox.
+
+This is not universal tool containment. Bypass boundaries and unrestricted,
+disabled, or external profiles do not add a Maka-managed local sandbox;
+external environments may supply their own isolation. Managed PTY Bash is
+refused when the active profile requires sandboxing. Client-launched
+integrated terminals are host PTYs outside the managed agent execution
+boundary, and runtime or attachment resource reads do not execute through the
+local filesystem worker. The standard `workspace-write` profile permits the
+workspace roots and the configured temporary roots.
+
+Seatbelt, bubblewrap, and AppContainer are OS enforcement mechanisms. The
+in-process checks that decide whether to request or invoke them remain
+heuristics, not containment. The exact product coverage and fail-closed
+selection rules are documented in
 [`packages/runtime/src/sandbox/README.md`](./packages/runtime/src/sandbox/README.md).

+/**
+ * Switching a session moves one row's selection. What it must not do is rewrite
+ * the rest of the rail.
+ *
+ * Deliberately a budget on the OUTCOME rather than an assertion about
+ * identities or `memo`. The rail's cost has had several independent causes —
+ * `setActiveId` changing identity every AppShell render, `Intl` formatters
+ * rebuilt per row, catalog refreshes replacing unchanged row objects — and each
+ * was invisible to the others. A DOM-write budget catches all of them and the
+ * ones not yet found, including anything that raises the number of commits a
+ * switch produces (#4109).
+ *
+ * The counter reads inline `style` writes on rail buttons because that is the
+ * dominant term: every Astryx button removes and re-adds its `anchor-name` per
+ * render, so one wasted rail render is two style writes per button plus the
+ * style recalculation they force.
+ *
+ * The assertion that carries the contract is `rowsTouched`, not the total.
+ * Attributing each write to its row makes the budget independent of how many
+ * rows the fixture seeds, and closes the hole a total-only budget leaves: a
+ * regression that re-renders the whole rail exactly ONCE stays under any total
+ * generous enough not to flake, but it cannot touch two rows. That is also the
+ * missing middle of the fix's own claim — identity is fixed so `memo` holds, and
+ * `memo` holding means untouched rows produce no DOM work at all.
+ *
+ * The last two assertions are the timing half, folded in from #4109's own rail
+ * budget rather than kept as a second spec: how much was rewritten does not say
+ * whether the user saw it. The selection must pass through exactly one row on
+ * its way to the clicked one, and the status badges — which belong to sessions
+ * whose state did not change — must not be torn down and rebuilt underneath it.
+ *
+ * `styleWrites > 0` is the counter's own liveness check. Every write counted
+ * here comes from an Astryx ref callback that is not wrapped in `useCallback`;
+ * if that upstream detail is ever memoised, both the healthy and the regressed
+ * reading collapse to zero and a one-sided budget would pass forever without
+ * ever failing again.

+ * Locks the two invariants of the Astryx sidenav column that live only in

+ *
+ *   1. Geometry — `.maka-sidenav-motion { height: 100% }` (shell-layout.css).
+ *      Without a definite height the wrapper grows to its unclipped content and
+ *      the footer leaves the window. `sidenav footer stays inside the window`
+ *      is the lock shell-layout.css's comment already names by this path.
+ *
+ *   2. The resize handle — the two workaround rules that keep it grabbable:
+ *      `top: var(--h-titlebar)` (shell-layout.css) and `transform: none
+ *      !important` (sidebar.css, the Astryx hitAreaOffsetX fix). A regression
+ *      in either leaves a column that looks right and simply cannot be dragged.
+ *      `resize handle drag ...` grabs the handle at its vertical centre — the
+ *      exact point the bug left ungrabbable — and asserts the width changes.
+ *
+ * Both run on `projectSidebarWindow`: the only fixture that boots the shell
+ * expanded (so the handle is mounted) with a populated, overflowing list (60
+ * sessions, so the footer has content to be pushed past). It opens with the

+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+

+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          the Derivative Works; and

+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be

+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A

+

+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the

+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor

+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

One contract-pinned exception: `index.html` carries an inline `.maka-preload` skeleton with hardcoded colors (no CSS variables — `maka-tokens.css` hasn't loaded yet) so there's no blank window during the CSS + JS load gap; `createRoot` replaces it on mount.
 
-## AppShell + the action modules
-
-`app-shell.tsx` is the shell component: it owns session state and wires the
-`@maka/ui` conversation surfaces. The right/bottom Workbar is the vertical
-feature under `features/workbar`; its own README defines the state and lifecycle
-boundary for Review, Terminal, Tasks, Browser, Files, Inspector and Side Chat.
-The shell is supported by a set of `app-shell-*` modules, each a narrow slice of
-shell logic split by one concern (e.g. `app-shell-session-events.ts`,
-`app-shell-chat-actions.ts`, `app-shell-effects.ts`, and
-`app-shell-overlays.tsx`). Keep a slice to one concern; if it grows, split along
-the same seam.
-
-Autonomous Goal state, controls, dialog lifecycle, and Desktop I/O live under
-`features/goals`; AppShell supplies the active Session boundary and consumes
-the feature's host, commands, and selectors.
+## Renderer ownership boundary
+
+`app-shell.tsx`, `app-shell-*`, and `use-app-shell-*` are a **frozen legacy
+boundary**, not a pattern for new renderer code. They temporarily retain
+ownership that predates the composition-root migration. Do not add another
+file to this family or move new state, effects, subscriptions, bridge calls, or
+feature view-model construction into it. Its recorded debt may only decrease as
+each capability moves to its target owner.
+
+The target dependency direction is:
+
+```text
+bootstrap -> composition -> shell + application contracts + feature public entries
+platform/desktop -> injected feature/application ports
+features -> own internals + shared contracts/core/UI
+application -> shared contracts + injected ports
+```
+
+- `shell/` owns only the fixed frame, regions, and mount/visibility policy. It
+  has no Desktop bridge access, feature implementation imports, or business
+  state/effects. Direct storage, timers, fetches, and DOM/global subscriptions
+  are environment ownership too and are forbidden here.
+- `bootstrap/` owns one-shot startup and React mount sequencing. Apart from
+  locating the DOM mount point, it owns no React state/class lifecycle,
+  storage, timers, subscriptions, or network access.
+- `composition/` assembles providers, adapters, and public feature hosts. It is
+  wiring, not another lifecycle or browser-environment owner.
+- `application/` owns explicitly shared renderer authorities. It must not
+  depend on feature, shell, Desktop adapter, preload, or main-process
+  implementations.
+- `features/<name>/` owns one vertical capability. A feature cannot access
+  `window.maka`, import another feature's internals, or depend on AppShell,
+  preload, main, or `platform/desktop`. Consumers use its public `index` entry;
+  `testing` is test/Storybook-only.
+- `platform/desktop/` is the outer adapter zone for the preload bridge. It
+  implements narrow inward-facing ports rather than exporting the whole bridge;
+  composition and adapters consume application public entries, not deep
+  implementation modules. Adapters may own bridge and browser-environment
+  access, but never React UI/hooks/class lifecycle, Electron/Node imports, or
+  non-static dependency loading.
+
+The right/bottom Workbar and the other extracted features define their detailed
+state and lifecycle boundaries in their own READMEs. Cross-feature behavior
+uses explicit contracts and intents, not private imports or a service locator.
+
+### Architecture guardrail and migration ledger
+
+`apps/desktop/scripts/check-renderer-architecture.mjs` parses renderer imports,
+bridge aliases, browser-environment access, and stateful-hook ownership and
+enforces the zones above, including imported/local hook aliases, React 19 state
+hooks, React component class state/lifecycle, and non-static global access. It
+also rejects Electron/Node imports from inward zones, deep/cross-feature
+imports, `import.meta.glob` escape hatches, production use of feature testing
+entries, and application contracts that re-export application implementation.
+`apps/desktop/renderer-architecture.json` records the exact legacy/root debt and
+maps every AppShell/root path to its intended owner. It freezes every
+unclassified legacy renderer source and every non-owner Desktop source
+transitively reachable from AppShell. The graph crosses explicit feature,
+application, and platform owners while recording legacy renderer, shared,
+preload, and other non-owner intermediaries in the debt closure. The ledger
+traverses declarations for dependency resolution without treating them as
+runtime debt; explicit owner nodes remain governed by their zone rules. It also
+freezes the separate root-entry closure and each transitional
+feature/platform import of legacy code. The AppShell-family and root-entry
+files are full ratchets: dependency paths, imported bindings,
+bridge/hooks/browser capabilities, action factories, and non-trivia tokens may
+not grow. Their transitive support closures ratchet only architectural
+capabilities and dependencies, so ordinary implementation can evolve without
+token-count ledger noise. A support entry may move one way from the AppShell
+closure to the root closure without resetting its budget; the reverse move is
+rejected. Legacy import allowlists may only shrink relative to the base branch. Same-count
+dependency replacement is allowed only when it moves ownership behind a shell,
+feature public, or application public/contract boundary.
+
+`ownership[].targetZone` is migration-roadmap metadata in this foundation: its
+shape and legacy path coverage are validated, but it does not claim to prove
+that a capability has reached its final owner. The directory dependency rules
+remain executable. A later owner contract can add verifiable owner paths and
+public entries once each mixed legacy capability has been split precisely.
+
+Exact Hook names remain visible in the generated ledger, and no tracked Hook
+call count may grow in a debt file.
+The separate AppShell render-scope inventory tracks which calls still execute
+above the whole renderer tree; this architecture checker governs the broader
+root and transitive capability debt.
+
+New flat renderer modules are forbidden; new code belongs in an explicit zone.
+The existing `settings`, `locales`, `astryx-theme`, and
+`computer-use-overlay` directories may still add scoped legacy files, but those
+files cannot become newly reachable from AppShell/root or a feature/Desktop
+adapter without passing the corresponding ratchet.
+
+Run the current-tree check locally with:
+
+```sh
+npm run check:renderer-architecture
+```
+
+Before opening a PR, also verify that debt did not grow relative to main:
+
+```sh
+npm run check:renderer-architecture -- --base upstream/main
+```
+
+After a legitimate debt-reducing move, regenerate the mechanical counts and
+then run the base comparison; regeneration cannot hide growth from CI:
+
+```sh
+npm run check:renderer-architecture -- --write --base upstream/main
+```
+
+`main.tsx` and `app.tsx` are permanent guarded root entries while those files
+exist. Their recorded debt can fall to zero as they become thin mounts, but the
+ledger entries remain so that a later PR cannot add bridge, hook,
+browser-environment, dynamic-import, or legacy dependency ownership back into
+them. A root entry guard may be removed only when the guarded source file is
+deleted.
+
+The production entry chain is part of the same root contract. The main process
+delegates its one renderer navigation to `main-renderer-loader.ts`, which loads
+only `dist-renderer/index.html`; Vite must build that document from
+`src/renderer`; and the source HTML must keep a single external module entry at
+`/main.tsx`. A build-time Vite attestation also inspects the final module graph,
+and a post-build verifier binds the emitted HTML's sole script to that exact
+entry chunk while preserving the fixed CSP and rejecting extra executable or
+navigation surfaces. An HTML-transform plugin therefore cannot silently
+replace or augment the canonical entry after the source check. `main.tsx`
+remains under the permanent root guard. Moving any part of this chain requires
+an explicit architecture change instead of routing around the ledger.
+
+This initial guardrail is source-policy and migration metadata only. It does not
+change runtime behavior, provider order, IPC/storage contracts, bootstrap,
+Composer mount semantics, Session switching, or Workbar resource lifecycles.
 
 `settings/` holds the settings pages and the `SettingsModal` shell — one page per `SettingsSection` (defined in `@maka/core`); the models/providers page is `ProvidersPanel`. Plus the `provider-*` files and the shared `settings-rows` / `settings-skeleton` / `settings-surface` helpers.

+# Module Hub feature slice
+
+`module-hub` owns the Desktop renderer behavior behind Extensions and
+Automations:
+
+- installed, managed-source, and bundled-catalog Skills projections and
+  mutations;
+- Scheduled Tasks projection, mutations, due/change subscriptions, and the
+  create-dialog request nonce;
+- the keep-system-awake client setting shown by Scheduled Tasks;
+- Daily Review page bridge, page actions, and Command Palette commands;
+- selection and header composition for Skills, MCP, Scheduled Tasks, and Daily
+  Review.
+
+`AppShell` still owns top-level `NavSelection`, module-memory persistence,
+Session/Project navigation, and the Composer. Those capabilities cross the
+boundary only as intents. The feature exposes a read-only Scheduled Tasks
+projection to the Session rail and a revision number that invalidates the
+Composer's separate Runtime-owned invocable-Skills projection; neither makes
+the Shell an owner of Module Hub data.
+
+## Dependency direction
+
+Production consumers import only `features/module-hub/index`. Tests and
+Storybook may import `features/module-hub/testing`. The feature imports core/UI
+types and renderer-neutral locale/formatting helpers, but it must not import
+AppShell, preload, or main-process modules and must not access `window.maka` or
+`navigator`.
+
+All environment I/O is represented by `ModuleHubServices` and mapped once by
+`platform/desktop/create-module-hub-services.ts`. The adapter is also where an
+older preload is converted into an unsupported keep-awake capability.
+
+MCP is the explicit exception to I/O ownership in this slice. `McpPage` keeps
+its existing page-owned controller and direct Desktop bridge. `ModuleHubHost`
+only selects and mounts that leaf; moving MCP internals is a separate change.
+
+## Lifecycle invariants
+
+- The three Skills projections and Scheduled Tasks each have independent
+  generation fences.
+- Host-scoped reads re-check the current default Runtime Host before committing.
+  Late reads, mutation feedback, and diagnostics from an old Host are dropped.
+- Initial Skills and Scheduled Tasks refresh remains deferred to the first
+  animation frame. A ready default-Host change refreshes both clusters.
+- Scheduled Task change and due subscriptions are disposed with the controller;
+  due notifications retain the navigation action.
+- Mutation feedback is live-surface fenced. Confirmation continuations are
+  also abandoned after leaving Scheduled Tasks.
+- Keep-awake reads, external updates, and writes share a generation so a slow
+  completion cannot overwrite newer confirmed settings; failed writes still
+  reject for the panel's optimistic revert.
+- The Daily Review page bridge is stable for one services/locale pair. Page
+  feedback is live-surface fenced, while Command Palette commands remain usable
+  off-page.
+- Daily Review paste captures the active Composer before its first await and
+  validates the Session, navigation owner, and Composer handle before append and
+  feedback.
+- Opening Scheduled Task creation selects the page and increments the request
+  nonce; the page acknowledgement resets it to zero.
+
+There is intentionally no feature-level reducer or store: these projections and
+commands have real lifecycle ownership, while navigation persistence remains a
+Shell concern.

+# Session Navigation feature
+
+Session Navigation is the renderer feature boundary for the Session rail. It
+owns:
+
+- rail membership, linked-session highlighting, Project/Runtime Host grouping,
+  worktree badges, branch banners, and revision navigation;
+- collapsed/expanded state, width, grouping mode, and their existing local
+  persistence keys;
+- explicit jumps into a Session, including search turn targets; and
+- flag, archive, restore, rename, delete, and archived-task purge lifecycles.
+
+## Dependency direction
+
+- Consumers import production APIs from `features/session-navigation`.
+- Tests may additionally import `features/session-navigation/testing`.
+- Desktop Sessions bridge calls go through `SessionNavigationServices`; only
+  `platform/desktop/create-session-navigation-services.ts` reads that bridge.
+- Session Navigation may use shared renderer storage/copy, core types, and Maka
+  UI, but must not import AppShell, preload implementation, or main-process
+  code.
+
+AppShell remains responsible for the authoritative catalog snapshot and for
+composing explicit cross-feature intents: top-level destination selection,
+WorkHub exit, active-Session selection, transcript clearing, and renderer-state
+cleanup. Session Navigation does not own catalog authority, transcript/runtime
+state, Session controls, task submission, or Module Hub routing.
+
+Those intents stay intents. Opening a Session also clears the active transcript
+and leaves WorkHub, and the rail does not subscribe to either: it calls them
+through `SessionNavigationPorts`, which the shell composes.
+
+## Public surface
+
+- `<SessionNavigationProvider>` is where the rail's state lives. It calls
+  `useSessionNavigationController` and publishes what the rail reads as two
+  contexts — its data and its chrome — so a re-render of AppShell is not a
+  re-render of the rail (#4109).
+- `useSessionNavigationController` owns layout, projections, and row mutation
+  commands. It is called by the provider and nowhere else; calling it in a
+  render body above the rail is what put the rail's state on the whole tree.
+- `useSessionNavigationReads` is the shell's own narrow read: the rail
+  projection it also needs for the command palette, the branch banner, the
+  revision navigation, and the rail's width. It holds no state.
+- `createSessionOpenCommand` composes an explicit Session jump out of the
+  shell's own actions.
+- `sessionRailLayoutStore` owns collapse, width, and grouping mode, with the
+  existing persistence keys.
+
+## Lifecycle invariants
+
+- Archived, linked-subagent, and hidden companion Sessions follow the existing
+  single-rail projection; a linked child highlights its visible root.
+- Local Sessions group by Project while remote Sessions group by Runtime Host.
+- Opening a Session first exits WorkHub, selects the Sessions destination, then
+  activates the Session and replaces or clears the turn-scroll target.
+- At most one row mutation runs per Session. Mutations retain revision-family
+  semantics, and renderer state is cleared only after the Host confirms removal.
+- Width persistence remains trailing-debounced; width, collapse, and grouping
+  reuse the existing local-storage keys and hydration rules.

+
+# Task Entry / Workspace feature
+
+Task Entry owns the renderer state that chooses where a new task will run. It
+loads the Runtime Host/Project catalog, preserves a selection per Host, derives
+the new-task target and draft identity, projects the Workspace Picker, and owns
+add/relink plus remote-directory handoff lifecycles.
+
+## Dependency direction
+
+- Consumers import production APIs from `features/task-entry`.
+- Tests and stories may additionally import `features/task-entry/testing`.
+- Task Entry may use shared renderer copy, shared project UI, core/runtime-host
+  types, and Maka UI.
+- Task Entry must not import `AppShell`, preload, or the main process.
+- Desktop catalog I/O enters through `TaskEntryServices`; feature code never
+  reads the Desktop global bridge directly.
+- `AppShell` supplies explicit navigation/error intents and consumes only the
+  target, Host defaults, project path, draft identity, and Workspace Picker.
+
+## Lifecycle invariants
+
+- Catalog refreshes are generation-fenced. A stale response cannot overwrite a
+  newer Host/Project snapshot or drive an imperative directory handoff,
+  including after unmount or locale changes.
+- The current Host remains selected while it is available. Otherwise selection
+  falls back to the available default Host, the first available Host, then the
+  default/first unavailable catalog row for honest loading/error presentation.
+- Project selection is remembered per Host. Missing, archived, and unavailable
+  projects fall back through Host default, Host selected Project, then the
+  explicit no-Project capability.
+- Add/relink mutations are single-flight. Cancellation stays silent; failures
+  preserve the selected target and retain the existing localized diagnostic.
+- Remote directory registration is accepted only for the Host that opened the
+  picker. Closing or completing the picker restores focus to its opener.
+- Draft identity is target-scoped. An unresolved catalog always uses the stable
+  unresolved new-task key, preserving reload and target-switch handoff behavior.
+
+## Non-ownership
+
+Session creation, first-send/task submission, Composer state, attachments,
+readiness, Project Settings, and the shared remote-directory browser internals
+remain separate. Task Entry supplies their target/workspace inputs but does not
+own their lifecycles.
+
+The Desktop adapter is created once in the renderer composition root. Tests use
+`createFakeTaskEntryServices` from `testing.ts`; production code must not import
+that entry.

-       about three times the face" rhythm.
-     - strong 0.12 fill / 0.40 border, at 1.5x / 1.67x the regular tier, in the
-       same ~1.6x family as the border ladder.
-
-     STRONG IS RESERVED, and the reservation is the point: it is only for

 /* =============================================================================
-   ASTRYX ACCENT BRIDGE
+   ASTRYX COLOUR BRIDGE
 
    The Maka Astryx theme (astryx-theme/makaTheme.ts) is a pure `extends` of
-   theme-neutral, so Astryx's accent family ships as near-black #262626. That
-   left the product with TWO accent authorities: maka-tokens said Maka blue,
-   Astryx said black. Every Astryx primary button, Switch, RadioList dot,
-   SegmentedControl selection, focus ring and selected-card ring rendered
-   black — and because those tokens never consulted --accent, the Appearance
-   page's 11 palettes had NO effect on any Astryx-rendered surface. Picking
-   「珊瑚」 recolored the chat accent and left all of Settings black.
-
-   Bridging here rather than in makaTheme.ts is deliberate: the theme file is
-   compiled to maka.css by `npm run astryx:theme`, and a build artifact cannot
-   reference runtime tokens that only exist once a palette attribute lands on
-   <html>. This block is unlayered (like the rest of this file) so it outranks
-   the @layer astryx-tokens import of maka.css regardless of specificity, and
-   it re-resolves per palette because --accent is redeclared on the same <html>
-   element that carries [data-maka-theme].
+   theme-neutral, so Astryx's accent family ships as near-black #262626 and its
+   status fills as fixed pastels. That left the product with TWO colour
+   authorities: maka-tokens said Maka blue over palette-derived status hues,
+   Astryx said black over #c5e5c0 / #facecb / #f8da9d. Every Astryx primary
+   button, Switch, RadioList dot, SegmentedControl selection, focus ring and
+   selected-card ring rendered black, and every Banner rendered the same three
+   pastels — because those tokens never consulted --accent or the status hues,
+   the Appearance page's 11 palettes had NO effect on any Astryx-rendered
+   surface. Picking 「珊瑚」 recolored the chat accent and left all of Settings
+   black.
+
+   THOSE FOUR -muted TOKENS ARE THE PRODUCT'S ONLY TINTED STATUS SURFACE.
+   One rung per status, no border rung, no strong tier: Astryx's own shape.
+   0.24 is the alpha the neutral theme's pastels already sit at, so a Banner
+   and a product row painted side by side read as one material. A call site
+   that wants a status tint reads one of these; a hand-rolled
+   `oklch(from var(--success) l c h / 0.14)` is how the fourteen disagreeing
+   alphas this replaced accumulated. Borders around a tinted surface use
+   --border: the fill already states the status, and a second tinted edge is
+   §4's One Means Rule.
+
+   --color-accent-muted is the informational tint on the SAME rung. Maka has
+   no --info hue: "info" is a semantic slot (Banner status, StatTile tone), so
+   it paints with the accent at 0.24 like its three siblings. It has to be the
+   same CONSTRUCTION and not just the same weight — an opaque tint does not
+   compose, so a tinted chip on a tinted panel (deep-research's count pill,
+   plan-mode's in-progress marker) resolves to the parent's exact pixel and
+   disappears. Alpha is also what upstream ships this token as (#0082FB33,
+   0.20); theme-neutral is what flattens it to an opaque #f1f1f1.
+
+   ONLY THE ACCENT TOKENS ARE BRIDGED HERE. The three status rungs live in
+   makaTheme.ts alongside --color-border, because nothing re-declares them
+   below the root. The accent four cannot: maka.css re-declares
+   --color-accent / --color-accent-muted at component level
+   (.astryx-banner.info, .astryx-progressbar.accent, the on-dark/on-light
+   blocks), and those beat a root declaration inside the same layer. This
+   block is unlayered, so it outranks the whole @layer astryx-tokens import
+   regardless of specificity. What it still cannot beat is a declaration on
+   the banner ELEMENT itself — see the info note in DESIGN.md §8.
 
    Scoped to [data-astryx-theme] — the attribute Astryx's <Theme> writes on
-   both <html> and its own wrapper — so only the Astryx token surface moves.
+   both <html> and its own wrapper — so only the Astryx token surface moves,
+   and it re-resolves per palette because --accent is redeclared on the same
+   <html> element that carries [data-maka-theme].
    --color-on-accent is deliberately NOT overridden: Astryx's own
    light-dark(#ffffff, #171717) is already the correct ink for the
    --accent-solid tier in both modes (see the contrast notes at that token).

- * Delegating-actions facade behind `useStableActions` (issue #1043).
- *
- * App-shell action factories run in the render body, so every render allocates
- * fresh handler identities. Any consumer that lists a handler in an effect dep
- * array (the streaming-settle fallback timer did) tears down and re-arms on
- * every render. The facade fixes the identity without freezing the closures:
- * each method delegates to the latest committed render's factory result through
- * `latestRef`, so calls always see fresh deps while consumers see one stable
- * identity for the component's lifetime.
- *
- * Factories must return a constant key shape of function values — the
- * facade's key set is fixed at creation. Kept React-free so the behavior is
- * testable from `node:test`.

-/**
- * Generic keyed-pending registry shared by AppShell's four hand-rolled
- * de-dup sets (turn-footer actions, session-row actions, per-session
- * permission-mode changes, per-session model changes). Each tracks a Set of
- * in-flight keys so a second click while the first request is still settling
- * is ignored, then clears the key when the backend confirms.
- *
- * The four instances differ only along two axes, both opt-in:
- *
- *   - `trackState` — the turn-footer registry drives a React-visible disabled
- *     mask (the turn presentation derivation reads `keys`), so it mirrors the ref
- *     into state on every mutation. The three ref-only registries pass their
- *     `keysRef` straight to their action factories / the bootstrap cleanup
- *     effect and never re-render, so they skip the state mirror entirely.
- *   - `autoClearMs` — the turn-footer registry arms a per-key timeout so a
- *     button re-enables even if the confirming `sessions:changed` event is
- *     dropped. The others clear synchronously in their action's `finally`.
- *
- * `keysRef` is always a stable Set instance so the action factories that
- * mutate it directly (session-row-actions, session-settings-actions) and the
- * unmount cleanup (app-shell-effects) keep operating on the same object.

+  -> 后续 SQLite acceptance owner 决定是否 promote A -> B
+```
+
+本切片只拥有 stage，不拥有 promote；任何 candidate 路径都不得推进 `refs/maka/accepted` 或签发新的
+accepted capability。
+
+## 1. 主要不变量
+
+本切片只证明：
+
+> owner-bound accepted-repository capability 只能读取被冻结的 exact accepted SHA-1 commit/tree，或
+> 从该 exact base 生成 operation-bound immutable candidate proof。candidate 不能推进 accepted ref，
+> 也不能签发新的 accepted capability。
+
+SQLite accepted head 仍由后续 mutation authority 拥有。本切片不提供 filesystem projection；projection
+必须由 storage-root owner 在后续 PR 中以独立 destination capability 和 crash protocol 实现。
+
+## 2. Owner、原子边界与能力
+
+- import authority 在任何 destination side effect 前验证 helper 的 operation feature attestation；导入成功
+  后只在固定 `refs/maka/accepted` namespace 捕获 helper capability、managed repository path、accepted
+  commit、tree 与 policy v3，并签发
+  opaque accepted-repository capability；
+- candidate helper 同时绑定 exact base commit/tree、accepted ref、operation-specific candidate ref、path
+  与 result bytes；完整 verified walk 后，tree editor 仍只通过 checksum-verifying finder 加载 owned tree，
+  禁止重新信任未验证 ODB bytes；
+- published 与 no-change 都创建包含 request digest 的 deterministic candidate receipt commit，并以同一个
+  operation-specific ref 作为线性化点；两种成功都返回 owner-bound candidate-outcome capability；
+- accepted ref 与 candidate ref 都必须是直接指向 exact commit object 的 direct ref；symbolic ref 与
+  annotated tag 不得通过 peel 后的语义相等冒充 receipt identity；
+- candidate outcome 私下绑定 exact accepted capability identity、repository/ref、helper artifact、policy、
+  request digest、result SHA-256 与 Git identities；验证时必须同时出示原 accepted capability；
+- direct read 沿 accepted tree 的 exact path 加载并重验 tree/blob object identity，只返回最多 8 MiB 的
+  UTF-8 内容；它不读取 projection filesystem；
+- 每个公开入口都复用 admission 时捕获的 helper capability，并在短生命周期 helper 启动前重新验证
+  artifact identity，同时要求 release claim 明确 attest 本次实际调用的 operation；
+- candidate fresh self-check 与 exact retry 都必须实际加载 result blob，在 64 MiB 上限内验证 kind 与
+  checksum，不能只相信 candidate tree 中记录的 OID edge；
+- exact retry 从 verified base tree、继承的目标 mode、canonical path 与 result blob 纯计算唯一 expected
+  candidate tree OID，不写入新 object；receipt tree 必须与它完全相等。由此目标之外的额外变化、目标 mode
+  flip 和伪造 no-change receipt 都无法获得 outcome capability。
+
+## 3. 失败与回滚
+
+| 状态 | 处理 |
+| --- | --- |
+| accepted ref 在初次检查时不等于 capability base | 写 object 前返回 `base_commit_mismatch`，candidate ref 不存在 |
+| accepted/candidate ref 是 symbolic ref 或指向 tag/非 commit object | 稳定返回 direct-ref/target-invalid 错误 |
+| base commit/tree identity 不一致 | 写 object 前 fail closed |
+| candidate 违反 policy v3 | candidate ref CAS 前 fail closed |
+| candidate ref 已存在且 request digest 不同 | 写 object 前返回 `candidate_request_conflict`，不覆盖已有 candidate |
+| existing receipt 的 tree 不是 exact base 单路径转换结果 | 返回 `candidate_ref_target_invalid`，不签发 capability |
+| result 与 base tree 相同 | 写入 same-tree receipt commit 并 CAS operation ref，返回 `candidate_no_change` outcome capability |
+| 同一 operation 后续给出不同 path/content/disposition | deterministic commit 不同，稳定 conflict |
+| direct read 路径、类型、大小、UTF-8 或 object identity 不合法 | fail closed，不读取 filesystem |
+| helper 超时、中断或输出不匹配 | 不签发新 capability；由调用者重试 exact operation 或 park |
+
+candidate outcome 的线性化点是 operation-specific direct candidate ref 的 `MustNotExist` CAS。任何 object
+write 前先检查既有 direct receipt：request digest 相同则从 verified base 纯计算 expected successor tree，
+要求 receipt tree 与之精确一致，再重验 result blob 后 exact retry；request 不同则稳定 conflict。CAS 竞争失败
+后再次重读 direct ref：相同 deterministic commit 视为 exact retry，不同 commit 视为 conflict；无法证明
+publication 状态时返回 `candidate_publication_indeterminate`。
+
+accepted ref 在本切片中只读，并与 `refs/maka/candidates/<operation-hash>` namespace 不重叠。第二次 accepted
+ref 检查与 candidate CAS 不是一个跨 ref transaction：二者之间的 accepted drift 可能留下绑定旧 base 的
+stale candidate evidence，但不能推进 accepted truth。后续 SQLite acceptance 必须重新验证 canonical head 并
+拒绝 stale candidate。direct read 是 observation，不发布持久事实。
+
+## 4. 平台与资源边界
+
+- Linux/macOS/Windows 使用同一 Gitoxide protocol；本切片不写工作区 filesystem；
+- policy v3 的 path、Unicode fold、tree/blob、`.gitattributes` 和 object identity 规则只由 Rust helper
+  判定；TypeScript 只负责 transport byte bound，避免复制一份会漂移的 path policy；
+- candidate 和 direct read 的绝对 deadline 为 10 分钟；
+- candidate content 通过 bounded Base64 field 传输，64 MiB 业务上限与 JSON escaping 无关；
+- direct read 单文件最多 8 MiB，helper stdout 以 JSON worst-case escaping 设置固定上限。
+
+## 5. 后续依赖
+
+后续 mutation lifecycle 把 accepted capability 与 SQLite T1 reservation 绑定；SQLite 原子接受 candidate
+后，单独的 promotion/reconcile owner 才能更新 accepted-ref projection 并签发新 accepted capability。
+Desktop/CLI 消费者不得绕过 capability 直接传 repository path、helper path 或 accepted commit。
+
+当前 accepted/candidate capability 是进程内 opaque authority。Git candidate ref/receipt commit 跨进程耐久，
+但 Host crash 后重新签发 capability 需要后续 durable workspace receipt owner：它必须重开 exact repository、
+持有 storage-root lease，重验 direct accepted/candidate ref、receipt commit checksum、request digest、base
+parent、candidate tree 与 path/result blob，再允许 SQLite 接受。本切片的 exact retry 承诺覆盖同一进程及
+helper process response loss；不把尚未接线的 cross-Host reopen 或 candidate GC 宣称为已完成能力。

+# Gitoxide helper artifact authority v1
+
+状态：可独立合并的 enabling infrastructure；尚未形成 product-ready 的 release trust root，也未接入
+Desktop/CLI managed-workspace 产品路径。
+
+## 1. 主要不变量
+
+本切片只证明：
+
+> 普通 caller 不能用自报的 executable path 或 SHA-256 获得 Gitoxide helper 调用资格；只有内部
+> release owner 签发、与 owner token 绑定的 artifact claim，在 exact platform、architecture、
+> protocol、size 与 SHA-256 校验通过后，才能转换为另一个指定 owner 可消费的 opaque invocation
+> capability。artifact 在 admission 后变化时，调用前重验必须 fail closed。
+
+它不证明平台签名、安装目录保护、helper spawn、repository observation、T1 admission、managed
+workspace 或 crash recovery。
+
+## 2. Owner 与 API 权限
+
+```text
+未来的 packaged-release owner
+  └─ issueGitoxideHelperReleaseArtifactClaimInternal(ownerToken, exact artifact identity)
+       ↓ opaque release claim
+artifact authority
+  └─ exact file/platform/protocol verification
+       ↓ opaque invocation capability
+未来的 invocation owner
+  └─ verifyGitoxideHelperArtifactForInvocationInternal(ownerToken, capability)
+```
+
+- claim 与 capability 的状态存放在模块私有 `WeakMap` 中；对象表面不包含 path、digest 或 size。
+- claim 必须由相同的 release owner token 消费；capability 必须由签发时指定的 invocation owner token
+  消费。
+- 相关 internal API 不从 `@maka/runtime-host/server` 导出。
+- 旧的 caller-provided `{ executablePath, expectedSha256 }` 不能成为这条链的 authority。
+
+当前没有 production release owner。`issueGitoxideHelperReleaseArtifactClaimInternal()` 只是未来受信
+packaging owner 的接缝，不是签名信任根；这限制产品启用条件，但不阻止该窄 authority 作为后续切片的
+可审查基础设施合并。
+
+## 3. 校验边界
+
+一次 artifact 校验包含：
+
+1. 输入 claim 的 protocol/platform/architecture/size/digest 形状检查；
+2. 拒绝 claimed path 任意组件中的 symlink 或 Windows junction；
+3. 打开 canonical regular file，并限制 helper artifact 最大为 256 MiB；
+4. 在同一 handle 上进行 64 KiB 有界缓冲的 SHA-256 流式读取；
+5. 比较读取前后 handle identity/size/timestamps；
+6. 比较读取后 path identity 与已打开 handle；
+7. 比较 exact byte count 与 digest。
+
+admission 与每次 invocation resolve 都执行这套校验。它可以识别校验之前或校验期间的替换，不会把
+相邻 manifest 当作自证信任根；但校验完成后必须关闭 handle，而 Node 只能按 path spawn，所以这里不把
+“刚验证的 bytes”表述成“实际执行的 bytes”。
+
+## 4. 原子性、失败状态与回滚
+
+| 项目 | v1 合同 |
+| --- | --- |
+| owner | Runtime Host 内部 artifact authority |
+| 原子性边界 | 单个打开 file handle 的一次 identity + streaming digest observation |
+| durable state | 无；claim/capability 仅存在于进程内 |
+| 非法/伪造 claim | `gitoxide_helper_release_claim_invalid` |
+| 平台或架构不匹配 | `gitoxide_helper_release_claim_unsupported` |
+| path/symlink/读取失败 | `gitoxide_helper_artifact_invalid` |
+| size/digest/identity 漂移 | `gitoxide_helper_artifact_identity_mismatch` |
+| 错误 owner/伪造 capability | `gitoxide_helper_invocation_capability_invalid` |
+| rollback | 只读校验，无副作用，无需回滚 |
+
+## 5. 明确不承诺的威胁模型
+
+本切片没有声称抵抗拥有同一 OS 用户文件写权限的主动攻击者。特别是：
+
+- 它尚未验证 macOS code signature、Windows Authenticode 或 Linux 发布清单的受信签名；
+- 它尚未把 helper 放进由正式安装器保护的只读目录；
+- invocation 已接入 path-based spawn，但不能消除“最后一次 handle 校验完成后、exec 开始前”的替换
+  窗口；重复 rehash 只能缩小窗口，不能形成 executable CAS，因此 v1 明确保留该限制。
+
+正式生产接入前，必须由 packaged-release owner 提供信任根，并明确三平台安装目录与签名能力。不能
+通过给本 API 再传一个裸 expected digest 来绕过这一门槛。
+
+## 6. 平台能力矩阵
+
+| 平台 | 当前持续验证 | 尚未承诺 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Linux | regular-file identity、digest、symlink path rejection | package signature、protected install root、spawn identity |
+| macOS | 同 Linux | code-sign verification、notarized artifact binding、spawn identity |
+| Windows | regular-file identity、digest、junction path rejection | Authenticode binding、ACL-protected install root、spawn identity |
+
+## 7. 后续切片
+
+后续只能按下面顺序推进：
+
+1. 发布/安装 owner 把受信 helper identity 绑定到 signed product artifact；
+2. 短生命周期 invocation owner 消费 opaque capability 并运行 strict helper protocol；合同见
+   `gitoxide-helper-invocation-owner-v1.zh-CN.md`；
+3. repository observation 再转换为 T1 前的 opaque admission capability。
+
+在第 1 项完成以前，不接 Desktop/CLI，也不恢复旧 Git CLI adapter。

+# Gitoxide short-lived invocation owner v1
+
+状态：可独立合并的 enabling infrastructure；真实 Rust helper 的三平台 contract 进入 CI，但正式
+release issuer 与 Desktop/CLI managed-workspace 产品接线仍未完成。
+
+## 1. 主要不变量
+
+本切片只证明：
+
+> Runtime Host 只能通过 owner-bound opaque artifact capability 启动一个刚完成 artifact observation 的
+> Gitoxide helper path；
+> invocation 使用固定 strict JSON request、最小环境、有界 stdin/stdout/stderr、固定超时与取消边界；
+> exit 0/1/2 必须分别匹配 inspected/operational failure/policy rejection 的 exact response shape，任意
+> 不一致均 fail closed。
+
+它不签发 repository admission capability，不写 SQLite/T1，不创建 Git artifact，也不接 Desktop/CLI。
+
+## 2. Owner 与调用链
+
+```text
+opaque GitoxideHelperInvocationCapability
+        ↓ invocation owner token 验证 + artifact bytes 重验
+fixed argv [] / minimal env / no shell
+        ↓ 64 KiB strict JSON request
+one short-lived Rust helper
+        ↓ bounded stdout/stderr + exact exit/response decoder
+typed observation | typed policy rejection | stable error
+```
+
+caller 不能提供 executable path、argv、environment、protocol version、timeout 或 output limit。可变
+业务输入只包括 operation 所需的 absolute repository path、显式 policy 与 AbortSignal；repository path
+在 spawn 前 canonicalize。
+
+## 3. 原子性、失败状态与回滚
+
+| 项目 | v1 合同 |
+| --- | --- |
+| owner | 单次 Runtime Host invocation owner |
+| 原子性边界 | 从 public operation 入口开始的一次绝对 deadline、artifact/path preflight、一个 helper process 及其 exact response |
+| 成功 | exit 0 + exact SHA-1 `repository_inspected` |
+| policy rejection | exit 2 + exact `unsupported_object_format` |
+| repository/helper failure | exit 1 + allowlisted stable helper reason |
+| timeout | inspect 为 5 秒、source import 为 10 分钟；同一个绝对 deadline 从 public 入口覆盖 preflight 与执行。若 helper 已启动，共享 lifecycle force-kill process tree，并以有界 exit acknowledgement/output drain 收口；若仍在 Node 文件系统 preflight，调用方按 deadline fail closed，迟到结果被丢弃且不得签发 capability |
+| cancellation | preflight 或运行中 fail closed，`gitoxide_helper_invocation_aborted` |
+| resource failure | repository open 前的本地 metadata 总量 1 MiB、16,384 entries、primary `objects/pack` 1,024 entries；source alternates 一律拒绝；Gitoxide object allocation 64 MiB、object-store slots 固定 1,024、stdout 64 KiB、stderr 16 KiB；超限 fail closed 或 force-kill |
+| malformed protocol | exit code、JSON shape、OID 或字段不一致均拒绝 |
+| rollback | inspect 无 durable side effect；import 只允许 fresh destination，但 partial artifact cleanup 留给未来 storage owner |
+
+Rust helper v1 不启动 descendants；Runtime 仍使用共享 process-tree terminator 处理 timeout、abort 和
+output overflow，不允许常驻或 detached helper。
+
+Node 的 `realpath`/artifact 文件读取没有可移植的 syscall cancellation。v1 因此只承诺 public operation
+在绝对 deadline 内返回或 fail closed，不声称 timeout 能终止已经交给操作系统的 preflight I/O；该 I/O
+的迟到完成不能启动 helper、签发 repository capability 或发布 artifact。
+
+## 4. 配置与数据边界
+
+- argv 固定为空，禁止 caller 注入 helper option；
+- `shell: false`，不会经过 shell parsing；
+- child `PATH` 为空，只保留 Windows loader 与临时目录所需的最少环境变量；
+- Rust 侧在 `gix::open()` 前按 pinned Gitoxide discovery 顺序检查 worktree 与 bare candidate，并有界
+  解析 `.git`/`commondir` 路径文件、`HEAD`、config、packed refs、shallow、refs tree 与 primary
+  `objects/pack`；`objects/info/alternates` 或 `http-alternates` 只要存在就以
+  `repository_alternates_unsupported` 拒绝，不递归打开外部 object database；metadata 总量超过 1 MiB、
+  条目超过 16,384、pack 目录超过 1,024 entries 或深度超过 64 时返回
+  `repository_metadata_limit_exceeded`；随后使用 `gix::open::Options::isolated()`、
+  `lossy_config(true)`、`strict_config(true)` 与固定 1,024 个 object-store slots，禁止 Gitoxide 再按
+  未验证磁盘状态决定初始 slot allocation；
+- request 最大 64 KiB；stdout 最大 64 KiB；stderr 最大 16 KiB；
+- SHA-1 OID 必须是 40 位小写十六进制；SHA-256/未知格式只返回 rejection，禁止 fallback。
+
+## 5. 平台证据
+
+同一个 workflow 使用 release toolchain 的 Node 24.18.1，在 Linux、macOS、Windows 上：
+
+1. 编译并测试 Rust helper；
+2. 构建 Runtime Host；
+3. 通过真实 helper executable 验证 SHA-1 success、SHA-256/未知格式 rejection、unborn SHA-1
+   failure、checksum mismatch 和 portable managed-tree policy。
+
+该证据只覆盖 helper 协议、进程终止与 fresh-only import，不包含平台安装签名或恶意同用户替换。
+当前实现会在 spawn 前完成 bytes/identity observation，但 Node 的 path-based spawn 不能把已打开并验证的
+handle 直接作为 executable，因此 observation 与 exec 之间仍有 TOCTOU。正式 packaged-release owner
+必须依赖平台签名和受保护安装目录；v1 不声称抵抗拥有同用户写权限的攻击者。
+
+## 6. 下一切片
+
+同一 consolidated PR 的后续 authority layer 已把 exact repository observation 转换成 owner-bound
+opaque admission capability，并用它驱动 fresh-only source import；合同见
+`gitoxide-repository-admission-capability-v1.zh-CN.md`。仍不在本 PR 实现 durable T1、worktree
+projection、candidate、recovery owner 或 ref CAS。

+# Gitoxide repository admission capability v1
+
+状态：Gitoxide repository admission / source-import 的可合并 enabling infrastructure；source import data
+plane 作为同一 PR 内的独立 authority layer 消费该 capability，产品接线仍未完成。
+
+## 1. 主要不变量
+
+本切片只证明：
+
+> caller 不能用裸 repository path、object format、commit OID 或 tree OID 自证 source identity。
+> 只有 owner-bound helper capability 的一次真实、严格 SHA-1 observation，才能签发指定 admission
+> owner 可解析的 opaque capability；SHA-256/未知格式只返回 policy rejection，不产生 capability。
+
+## 2. Owner 与事实流
+
+```text
+helper invocation owner
+  └─ exact repository_inspected response
+       ↓
+repository admission authority
+  ├─ canonical repository path
+  ├─ protocol/object format
+  ├─ exact HEAD commit OID
+  └─ exact HEAD tree OID
+       ↓ private WeakMap
+opaque GitoxideRepositoryAdmissionCapability
+       ↓ only the designated import owner may resolve
+immutable admission state
+       ↓ exact verified commit/tree graph
+fresh SHA-1 bare baseline repository
+```
+
+认证元数据与可返回 observation state 分开存储；解析 capability 不会泄漏 owner token。相关 API 不从
+`@maka/runtime-host/server` 导出。
+
+## 3. 原子性、失败状态与回滚
+
+| 项目 | v1 合同 |
+| --- | --- |
+| observation owner | short-lived invocation owner |
+| capability owner | repository admission authority |
+| admission 原子性边界 | 一次 canonical path observation + 一次 exact helper response + 进程内 capability 签发 |
+| import 原子性边界 | 完整 preflight 后用 `create_dir()` 领取 fresh destination；baseline ref 只允许 `MustNotExist` |
+| accepted | SHA-1 exact commit/tree，签发 opaque capability |
+| policy rejected | SHA-256/未知 format，返回 rejection，不签发 capability |
+| helper/路径失败 | 沿用 invocation owner 的稳定 fail-closed error |
+| forged/wrong-owner capability | `gitoxide_repository_admission_capability_invalid` |
+| durable state | admission capability 仅在进程内；import 会创建 bare repository、objects 与 baseline ref |
+| rollback | observation 无副作用；import 失败留下的 claimed destination 由后续 recovery owner 处理，本层不删除或接管 |
+
+source import 的原子边界是“先完成 source/ref/policy/object graph preflight，再以 `create_dir()` 原子领取
+此前不存在的 destination”。destination 一旦存在就拒绝接管；本层不修复、不删除 partial 或 foreign
+artifact。每个 commit/tree/blob 都在解析或递归前重新计算 SHA-1 并与 claimed OID 比较，validate 与
+copy 共用同一个 bounded verified walker。
+
+## 4. Freshness 与未来 T1
+
+capability 表示一次明确线性化点上的 immutable Git commit/tree snapshot，不承诺 source branch 在随后
+保持不变。未来 T1 owner 应把 exact commit/tree 写入 durable admission，并从该 immutable commit
+导入 source；不得在 T1 后重新解释“当前 HEAD”，也不得 fallback 到 caller 提供的 OID。
+
+如果产品需要“必须采用用户按下执行按钮那一刻的最新 HEAD”，该策略必须在未来 T1 owner 内重新
+观察并比较；不能让本 capability 变成可变 branch lease。
+
+## 5. 当前完成度
+
+到本切片为止，Gitoxide 验证栈已具备：
+
+1. Rust helper 的 isolated SHA-1 observation / SHA-256 rejection；
+2. exact helper artifact → opaque invocation capability；
+3. bounded short-lived process owner 与 strict response decoder；
+4. exact repository observation → opaque admission capability；
+5. Linux、macOS、Windows 的真实 helper contract workflow。
+6. exact commit/tree/blob checksum verification、atomic destination claim 与 deterministic zero-parent
+   baseline publication。
+
+`managedTreePolicyVersion: 3` 是当前唯一的 **portable lexical materialization policy**，而不只是 Git
+object import policy。未发布的 policy v1 已删除；helper、Host capability 和 import response 都拒绝把
+version 1 重新解释成当前语义。v2 只证明 Git tree 的词法身份和受支持 attributes 满足同一套保守规则，
+不宣称已证明某个真实 Windows volume 上的 path-length、8.3 alias、ACL 或大小写能力。
+
+v2 只接受 canonical Git tree ordering 以及 raw mode token `40000`、`100644`、`100755`；mode 的等价
+八进制别名和未排序 tree 都在 destination claim 前拒绝。路径统一拒绝 Windows reserved/control
+characters、device names（含 extension 与小写 superscript 形式）、trailing dot/space 与 `.git`。
+`.gitattributes` 只允许规范小写拼写；大小写、Unicode case-fold 或尾部别名继续拒绝。每个 attributes
+blob 最多 64 KiB、必须是 UTF-8；每一原始行必须短于 Git 的 2048-byte 上限，并且只接受以下精确
+byte grammar：
+
+```gitattributes
+* text=auto eol=lf
+/<portable-literal-path> export-ignore
+```
+
+空行和以 `#` 开头且不含控制字符的注释允许。规则不接受 attribute 换序、前后空白、额外分隔空格、
+CRLF 或 tab；literal path 不接受任何 whitespace/control。外部 `filter`、`working-tree-encoding`、
+`ident`、未知 attribute、escaped/wildcard path 及其他未证明语义都在 destination claim 前以
+`unsupported_source_attributes` fail closed。collision key 的版本化算法固定为：
+
+```text
+Unicode 17.0 NFC → Unicode 16.0 Default Full Case Folding（Non-Turkic）→ Unicode 17.0 NFC
+```
+
+原路径和 folded key 各自执行单路径与累计 byte budget。后续 candidate、tree read 必须消费 policy 3；
+真实 projection 还必须由独立的 `FilesystemMaterializationProfileV1` 在 fresh destination 上证明
+目标 filesystem 的 case/alias/path-length 能力并执行 create/post-observation，不能把本词法检查冒充为
+真实文件系统准入。该 projection/candidate owner 还必须实现与 `text=auto eol=lf` 对称的确定性 LF
+materialization/canonicalization；本 helper 只验证 immutable tree 并复制 object，不执行 checkout。
+
+仍未完成、也没有伪装完成：
+
+- signed packaged-release trust root 与受保护安装路径；
+- Desktop/CLI 消费者；
+- T1 durable admission、projection、candidate 与 ref CAS；
+- state-root-bound destination capability、partial artifact receipt/quarantine/recovery owner。
+
+因此本层可以作为 Gitoxide backend 的窄基础设施独立合并；正式 release owner、storage-root-bound
+destination owner 和 Desktop/CLI 消费者仍是启用产品能力前的硬门槛。

+
+## 2. 为什么是 helper，不是常驻 broker
+
+`maka-gitoxide-helper` 每次启动只执行以下协议：
+
+```text
+stdin:  一个最大 64 KiB 的 strict JSON request
+        ↓
+Gitoxide isolated repository observation
+        ↓
+stdout: 一个 JSON response
+        ↓
+process exit
+```
+
+进程不监听 socket、不复用 repository handle、不保存 caller identity，也不拥有跨请求锁或可恢复
+状态。因此它不是新的常驻 authority；durable ownership 仍必须由未来的 Storage/Runtime owner
+通过 SQLite、artifact receipt 与 scoped capability 建立。
+
+## 3. Owner、原子边界与失败状态
+
+| 项目 | v1 合同 |
+| --- | --- |
+| operation owner | 单次 `maka-gitoxide-helper` 子进程 |
+| 输入 | `inspect_repository` strict JSON，最大 64 KiB |
+| 配置边界 | open 前 1 MiB/16,384-entry repository metadata budget；primary `objects/pack` 最多 1,024 entries；source alternates 拒绝；`gix::open::Options::isolated()` + `lossy_config(true)` + `strict_config(true)` + fixed 1,024 object-store slots |
+| 成功 | exit 0；SHA-1 + exact HEAD commit/tree OID |
+| policy rejection | exit 2；`unsupported_object_format` |
+| operational failure | exit 1；稳定 `helper_error.reason` |
+| 原子性边界 | 单个 repository handle 的一次只读 observation；无跨介质事务 |
+| rollback | 只读操作，不需要回滚 |
+
+当前 response 中的 observation 不是不可伪造的进程外 capability。Node/Runtime admission adapter 会把
+helper artifact digest、managed-tree policy version 与 repository observation 一起绑定进 owner-issued
+opaque capability；不能让后续 caller 重新提交裸 OID、object format、helper identity 或 policy。
+
+## 4. SHA-256 策略
+
+Cargo 编译 `sha256` feature 只用于识别并给出稳定拒绝，不代表 Maka 已支持 SHA-256 repository。
+v1 的 `supportedObjectFormats` 固定为 `["sha1"]`。未来支持必须显式升级 backend capability 与
+协议测试，禁止静默 fallback。
+
+## 5. 测试与工具链
+
+- 普通 `npm test`、TypeScript workspace 测试和最终用户运行不要求 Rust 工具链。
+- 修改 helper 时运行 `npm run test:gitoxide-helper`。
+- `Cargo.lock` 是 source/build identity 的一部分并进入版本控制。
+- 三平台独立 CI 构建同一源码并运行协议测试。
+- 测试使用 Git CLI 预先构造真实 fixture；启动 helper 后清空 `PATH` 并注入恶意 Git config 环境。
+  如果 helper 尝试使用系统 Git 或 caller config，测试会失败。
+
+## 6. 平台能力矩阵
+
+| 平台 | 当前验证目标 | 尚未承诺 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Linux | SHA-1 inspect；SHA-256 reject；无 system-Git fallback | packaging、sandbox、crash recovery |
+| macOS | 同 Linux | signing、notarization、production packaging |
+| Windows | 同 Linux | Authenticode、job owner、production packaging |
+
+只有三个 CI lane 都建立证据后，才能把“当前验证目标”升级为持续平台承诺。
+
+## 7. 下一切片
+
+后续 authority layer 先建立 helper artifact claim → opaque invocation capability 的内部边界，并明确
+正式 packaged-release trust root 尚未接入；详见
+`gitoxide-helper-artifact-authority-v1.zh-CN.md`。再后续才把一次 repository observation 转换成
+T1 前可消费的 opaque admission capability。source import、fresh projection 与 candidate ref CAS
+继续分别验证，不能在 admission PR 中顺手恢复旧 Git CLI adapter。

 When the selected connection has `providerType: openai-codex`, Maka uses Codex's server-side compactor by default instead of asking the model for a text summary. The provider request is still built from the validated RuntimeEvent prefix. The dedicated compactor sets `providerOptions.openai.compactionTrigger: true`, which appends one terminal `{ "type": "compaction_trigger" }` input item. The compactor uses the streaming Responses path and consumes the full stream because a compaction-only response has no ordinary generated-text result. Ordinary Codex requests do not set this option and are unchanged.
 
+The portable text summarizer remains a bounded liveness fallback. Maka retries once through it when the native request receives a non-retryable protocol `RequestRejected`, returns no unique valid compact state, or cannot fit its native history projection. Cancellation, authentication, billing, rate-limit, and provider-availability failures retain their original outcome instead of doubling traffic through the same unhealthy connection. The two physical attempts share one logical compaction call but record `provider_native` and `text_summary` independently in telemetry.
+
 Compaction input preserves assistant-step chronology. Because the Responses converter cannot resend provider-executed tool results under `store:false`, a settled hosted call/result is lowered only for this compaction request into a paired ordinary function call and output, followed by the grounded assistant text. This keeps the available tool evidence in the request without producing an orphan output.
 
-The compaction call receives the active history-input budget. If its RuntimeEvent projection exceeds that estimate, Maka replaces older Tool Result payloads with a fixed omission marker while retaining every call/result pair and all later grounded text. If the remaining non-tool history still cannot fit, Runtime does not dispatch an already over-capacity compaction request and follows the normal fail-open path.

 This is deliberately a history-only contract. Maka does not send the current system prompt or tool catalog to the remote compactor, unlike the Codex CLI's whole-request assembly. Those values are neither part of checkpoint source coverage nor frozen into the checkpoint; the subsequent model request always applies its current system prompt and tools. This keeps provider-native and text-summary compactors behind the same small contract, at the cost of not giving the compactor that extra request-shape context.

 当所选 connection 的 `providerType` 为 `openai-codex` 时，Maka 默认使用 Codex 服务端 compactor，不再让模型生成文本摘要。provider request 仍由已校验的 RuntimeEvent prefix 构建。专用 compactor 会设置 `providerOptions.openai.compactionTrigger: true`，从而追加唯一一个位于 input 末尾的 `{ "type": "compaction_trigger" }` item。compactor 使用流式 Responses 路径并消费完整 stream，因为只有 compaction output 的响应不存在普通 generated-text result；普通 Codex 请求不会设置这个选项，因此行为不变。
 
+可移植的文本 summarizer 仍作为有界的 liveness fallback。当 native request 收到不可重试的协议级 `RequestRejected`、没有返回唯一合法的 compact state，或无法容纳 native history projection 时，Maka 会通过文本 summarizer 重试一次。Cancellation、鉴权、计费、限流和 provider 不可用仍保留原始结果，不会向同一个异常连接发送双倍流量。两次物理请求属于同一个逻辑 compaction call，但 telemetry 会分别记录 `provider_native` 与 `text_summary`。
+
 Compaction input 会保留 assistant step 的时序。由于 Responses converter 在 `store:false` 下无法重新发送 provider-executed tool result，已经完整结算的 hosted call/result 只在这次 compaction request 中降级为成对的普通 function call 与 output，之后再放 grounded assistant text。这样既保留了现有 tool evidence，也不会生成悬空 output。
 
-Compaction call 会收到当前 history input budget。若 RuntimeEvent projection 超出该估算值，Maka 会把较旧的 Tool Result payload 替换为固定 omission marker，同时保留每一组 call/result 配对和之后的 grounded text。若剩余的非工具历史仍无法容纳，Runtime 不会发送一条已经超出容量的 compaction request，而是进入正常 fail-open 路径。

 这是有意设计成 history-only 的契约。与 Codex CLI 的 whole-request assembly 不同，Maka 不会把当前 system prompt 或 tool catalog 发给 remote compactor；它们既不属于 checkpoint source coverage，也不会被冻结进 checkpoint，后续模型请求始终使用当时最新的 system prompt 和 tools。这样 provider-native 与 text-summary compactor 可以共享同一份小契约，代价是 compactor 无法利用这部分额外的 request-shape context。

-On the default production path today, `AgentRun` creates a `runId` first and passes the same value to `RuntimeRunner` as the `invocationId`. The IDs are therefore usually equal, but the concepts remain distinct. A Run is a durable execution entity. An Invocation is the call boundary standardized by the Runner. Keeping both concepts leaves room for retries, scheduling, or multiple attempts without redefining the event protocol.
+RuntimeEvents still carry `invocationId` as a compatibility and event-correlation field. On the production path it is bound to the Run identity; it no longer implies a separate Invocation lifecycle object or Runner layer.
 
 The key distinction is simple: **a Turn is not a Run, and chat messages are not execution state.** A user-visible exchange needs a system-visible execution envelope. Without one, the system can only say that some messages appeared; it cannot reliably say whether the execution actually ended.

 When a tool call would cross the current sandbox boundary, the tool does not fail silently and the UI does not suspend execution on its own. The tool returns a failure carrying `sandbox_boundary_required` and a concrete `expansion`; the model then calls `request_sandbox_boundary` to raise a **boundary expansion request**, and execution stops at a position that has an identity while it waits for an answer.

-# Managed Workspace Baseline Open v1：M0 最终接受门
-
-- 状态：已合并；M1 execution admission 在其返回值上增加 owner-bound handle，不改变 M0 durable authority
-- 更新日期：2026-08-04
-- 主要不变量：只有经 Git artifact owner 持久化并重新验证的 exact baseline receipt，才能由同一
-  storage-root lifecycle owner 提交给 SQLite workspace authority；Git artifact 单独成功不构成
-  canonical workspace version
-- Git artifact owner：`GitWorkspaceService`
-- composition/lifecycle owner：`ManagedWorkspaceOwner`
-- canonical history owner：SQLite 内 immutable workspace RuntimeEvents
-
-## 1. 本切片交付什么
-
-前三个 M0 切片已经分别证明：
-
-1. Maka 可以用 pinned Git 创建、验证、repair 和 quarantine 自有 Git repository/worktree artifacts；
-2. SQLite 可以把 epoch-opened、baseline-accepted 与三个 projection 原子提交，并从 RuntimeEvents 重建；
-3. 一个 authenticated interactive storage root 只发布一个 managed workspace lifecycle owner。
-
-它们之间仍缺一个权限与因果门。如果调用者可以把任意 OID 直接交给 SQLite，那么 Git 验证只是注释；
-如果 Git 创建成功就被当作 canonical，那么 SQLite 失败后会出现第二套 workspace truth。本切片只关闭这条
-seam，不接 Desktop、CLI、runtime host 或工具执行。
-
-公开入口是：
-
-```ts
-owner.openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(runtimeStore, {
-  repositoryId,
-  workspaceId,
-  workspaceEpochId,
-  workspaceInstanceId,
-  sourceRoot,
-});
-```
-
-调用者只提供业务身份与 source root，不能提供 policy hash、commit/tree OID、version ID、event ID、
-tree delta 或“verified”布尔值。M0 policy 是实现实际执行并内部 canonicalize/hash 的固定协议，不是
-调用者提供的标签。
-
-## 2. Owner、原子边界、失败状态与回滚
-
-| 项目 | 决策 |
-|---|---|
-| Git artifact owner | `GitWorkspaceService` 证明 Git artifact，并在未导出的 receipt authority capability 中实现持久化与复验 |
-| lifecycle owner | `ManagedWorkspaceOwner` 是 receipt capability 的唯一持有者，独占 Git receipt → SQLite authority 的组合调用 |
-| canonical truth | SQLite authority stream 的 immutable RuntimeEvents；receipt 是 admission evidence，不是 canonical head |
-| Git durability boundary | `baseline-receipt.json` 以同目录临时文件、file fsync、rename、POSIX parent fsync 持久化 |
-| SQLite atomic boundary | epoch fact、baseline fact、epoch/version/head projection 位于同一事务 |
-| root binding | authority store 必须是 authenticated storage root 下精确的普通非 symlink `runtime.sqlite`，并保持注册时的文件 identity；该文件必须只有一个 hard link，lease 的真实 DB path 是唯一依据；数据库 singleton rootId 必须等于 authenticated owner rootId；SQLite COMMIT 后、返回前再次验证 pathname、identity 与 durable rootId |
-| policy identity | policy version/hash 从固定且实际执行的 M0 policy object 内部派生；覆盖 source cleanliness、tracked/untracked/ignored、UTF-8 lossless path、NFC/case-fold collision、symlink/submodule/attributes/special mode 与 materialization；public API 不接受裸 hash |
-| exact retry | version/event IDs 由 binding + artifact + policy 确定性派生；durable receipt 冻结可重新证明的 Git evidence 与 delta |
-| pre-accept orphan | receipt 已落盘而 SQLite 未接受时，它是可重试 orphan；不是 canonical workspace version |
-| post-accept loss | SQLite 已有 head 但 receipt 缺失、漂移或 Git artifact 不可验证时，报 corruption/unavailable，不生成替代 receipt |
-| 回滚 | 停止调用本入口即可；既有 RuntimeEvents 仍可读。不能删除已接受 receipt 来“回滚” canonical history |
-
-本切片没有尝试跨 Git filesystem 与 SQLite 建立一个不真实的分布式事务。它使用可重放协议收敛：Git
-receipt 先 durable，SQLite 后原子接受；唯一允许的半完成状态是“未被接受的 Git orphan”。反方向的
-“SQLite 已接受但 Git receipt 不存在”不是可修复半状态，而是 fail-closed corruption。
-
-## 3. Durable receipt 合同
-
-receipt 位于 managed instance root，和 `binding.json` 同级：
-
-```text
-managed-workspaces/
-  w/<workspace>/e/<epoch>/i/<instance>/
-    binding.json
-    baseline-receipt.json
-    worktree/
-```
-
-v1 receipt 严格包含：
-
-```ts
-{
-  schemaVersion: 1,
-  protocol: 'maka_managed_workspace_baseline_receipt_v1',
-  binding,
-  workspaceVersionId,
-  policyVersion: 1,
-  policyHash,
-  epochOpenedEventId,
-  baselineAcceptedEventId,
-  treeDeltaDigest,
-  changedFileCount,
-  deletedFileCount: 0,
-}
-```
-
-所有字段采用 exact-key strict decoder。receipt 必须重新证明：
-
-- durable binding 与调用 identity 完全相同；
-- repository record、epoch artifact、baseline ref、head ref、commit/tree 与 pinned Git capability 一致；
-- worktree registration 仍被 Maka ownership lock 锁定；
-- HEAD/tree 等于 baseline，worktree clean；
-- policy version/hash 等于实现实际执行的 canonical M0 policy；
-- workspaceVersionId、epochOpenedEventId 与 baselineAcceptedEventId 可从 binding、baseline artifact 与
-  policy 确定性重新派生；合法 shape 的磁盘篡改也必须被拒绝；
-- tree delta 摘要与 baseline tree 重新计算结果一致。
-
-`GitWorkspaceService` 的 public interface 不暴露 receipt 的 issue/require/verify，package root 也不导出
-`git-workspace-service` factory。artifact-only create/open 只作为 storage 内部前置实现存在；public
-`ManagedWorkspaceOwner` 只暴露 `openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(...)` 与 lifecycle close。对应 receipt capability
-位于未被 package root 导出的 internal module，并通过实例绑定的 `WeakMap` 只交给该 owner。普通 package
-consumer 既不能预占一个 epoch 的 admission identity，也不能在 canonical acceptance 前取得 executable
-worktree path。M1 execution admission 只允许消费由该入口成功返回的 owner-bound handle；handle 的 consumer
-是同一 `ManagedWorkspaceOwner.withManagedWorkspaceExecution(...)` 准入门，仍未把 cwd 暴露给 Desktop、CLI
-或 ToolRuntime。详细合同见
-[Managed Workspace Execution Admission v1](./runtime-managed-workspace-execution-admission-v1.zh-CN.md)。
-
-receipt 不保存 wall-clock `committedAt`：artifact owner 无法从 Git evidence 重新证明该时间，允许它进入 receipt
-会让 orphan receipt 篡改污染 canonical event 时间。M0 的 baseline authority 使用协议固定逻辑时间 `0`；
-canonical 顺序由 SQLite authority spine 的 `event_seq` 决定。真实 wall-clock acceptance time 若未来用于观测，
-必须由 store 自己生成并作为 operational metadata 保存，不进入 Git evidence 或恢复身份。
-
-## 4. Tree delta 摘要
-
-M0 baseline 的逻辑 parent 是 empty tree，因此：
-
-- `changedFileCount` 等于 baseline tree 的受支持 blob entry 数；
-- `deletedFileCount` 固定为 `0`；
-- `treeDeltaDigest` 是 domain-separated canonical manifest 的 SHA-256，而不是 caller 自报值。
-
-manifest 以 Buffer 读取 Git `ls-tree -r -z`，按 Git canonical 顺序记录每个 entry 的 `mode`、
-`objectType`、`oid` 和 `pathBytesBase64`。v1 为了保证 Git path 与 Node/host 路径语义一致，会严格
-拒绝不能无损解码并 round-trip 的非 UTF-8 path；不会把 replacement character 写进摘要。M0 只接受
-普通 blob mode `100644` / `100755`；symlink、submodule、special mode、
-`.gitattributes` 与 case collision 继续由 Git Workspace Service 在 receipt 生成前拒绝。
-
-该摘要证明的是 Git object delta，不是 checkout 文件字节扫描，也不把 ignored/untracked 内容纳入
-canonical baseline。

-只有最后一步成功返回以后，调用者才得到可用的 managed baseline。SQLite commit 后的 reverify 失败
-不会撤销 canonical history；它阻止当前 instance 被交给后续工具，并要求 repair/quarantine 流程处理。
-最终 root-owner 复验与 Git receipt 复验是两个独立闸门：receipt 证明 managed artifact，root-owner
-复验证明返回瞬间的 marker、lease、database binding 仍属于同一个 authenticated storage root。

-| 正式复制整个 storage root 后 adopt | storage-root marker 与 DB 随 root 保留 | DB rootId 与 marker rootId 保持一致 | `adoptStorageRootOnImport` 只恢复 storage-root identity；不证明旧路径下已 materialize 的 linked worktree 可迁移 |
-| imported root 含既有 managed workspace instance | binding 与 Git admin metadata 可能仍引用旧绝对路径 | canonical history 保留 | fail closed；首版必须显式 relocation/adoption 或重新 materialize 新 instance，不能直接返回旧 cwd |

-# Managed Workspace Execution Admission v1：M1.1 可撤销 scope 门
-
-- 状态：M1.1 已实现；M1.2 owner-bound worker bridge 与 runtime-host composition 当前切片；尚未由 Desktop/CLI 默认启用
-- 更新日期：2026-08-04
-- 主要不变量：同一个 `ManagedWorkspaceOwner` 只能用其亲自签发的进程内 execution handle 创建 active
-  execution scope；一次 admission 只签发一个 scope，但同一 handle 允许多个只读 admission 并发。每次创建
-  scope 前重新证明 exact SQLite workspace head 与 exact Git artifact，公共 API 永不发布 raw cwd，callback
-  退出后 scope 立即失效
-- lifecycle / admission owner：`ManagedWorkspaceOwner`
-- durable truth：SQLite immutable workspace RuntimeEvents
-- artifact evidence：Maka-owned Git binding、baseline receipt、HEAD/tree 与 ownership lock
-
-## 1. 本切片交付什么
-
-M0 已经能创建或 exact-adopt 一个 managed baseline，并把 Git receipt 与 SQLite canonical head 组合接受。
-但 raw `worktreePath` 是不可撤销字符串，调用者可以永久缓存并绕过 owner close、后续 revalidation 和未来
-workspace version 变化。因此 M1.1 使用两级进程内 capability：baseline 返回 owner-bound execution handle；
-每次 admission callback 只得到 active execution scope，不得到 path。
-
-```ts
-const accepted = await owner.openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(store, identity);
-
-await owner.withManagedWorkspaceExecution(accepted.executionHandle, async (scope) => {
-  // M1.2 的 storage-internal worker bridge 才能消费 active scope。
-});
-```
-
-`openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(...)` 不再公开 raw binding、receipt 或 `worktreePath`。handle 的内部证据保存在
-未从 package root 导出的模块中，并使用 `WeakMap` 与 owner token 绑定；复制相同字段或使用另一个 owner 的
-handle 都不能获得执行权限。scope 同样由 `WeakMap` 保存真实状态，callback 退出后即使被闭包保留也只能得到
-typed `ManagedWorkspaceExecutionAuthorityError`，其稳定 code 为
-`managed_workspace_execution_scope_expired`；伪造 scope 的 code 为
-`managed_workspace_execution_scope_invalid`。
-
-本切片没有接入 Desktop、CLI 或 ToolRuntime。它只建立 host 后续接线必须消费的唯一准入 API，不同时跨越
-runtime protocol、host lifecycle 与工具 I/O 三个边界。
-
-## 2. Owner、原子性边界、失败状态与回滚
-
-| 项目 | 决策 |
-|---|---|
-| execution admission owner | 只有签发 handle 的同一个 `ManagedWorkspaceOwner` 可以消费它 |
-| durable authority | handle/scope 都不是 durable fact；canonical head 通过注册时捕获的 storage-internal reader 读取，不调用可被 caller shadow 的 public method |
-| 原子性边界 | 不虚构 Git 与 SQLite 之外的新事务；在 owner/root lease residency 内先完成 exact receipt/binding/Git verification，再以 immutable SQLite workspace head 作为 scope 签发前最后一次 durable reread；随后执行 DB pathname/inode guard 和纯内存 identity compare，不再运行慢速 Git 命令 |
-| 执行期间 | 每个 callback 分别计入 owner active operation；同一 handle 可并发多个 `workspaceEffect: none` scope；`close()` 等全部 scope drain，新 admission 在 closing 后被拒绝 |
-| invalid handle | `managed_workspace_execution_handle_invalid`；不签发 scope |
-| foreign / expired scope | `managed_workspace_execution_scope_invalid` / `managed_workspace_execution_scope_expired`；bridge 不解析 cwd、不 dispatch worker |
-| worker 缺失 | `managed_workspace_worker_unavailable`；不从 managed mode fallback 到 host-local I/O |
-| mutation / unknown operation | `managed_workspace_operation_denied`；Write/Edit/Format/Bash/未知 operation 在 worker dispatch 前 fail closed |
-| canonical head 漂移/缺失 | fail closed；旧 handle 不能自行选择新 head |
-| artifact drift | 不签发 scope；所有 Git verification 阶段的 `managed_workspace_drifted` 统一 quarantine |
-| mutation permission | scope 固定 `workspaceEffect: none`；M2 前没有 raw cwd consumer，Write/Edit/Bash/未知工具不得接入 |
-| 回滚 | 无新增 schema 或 durable admission row；停止调用 API 即回滚能力，已接受的 baseline history 与 artifact 不变 |
-
-## 3. 每次执行的时序
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-  participant H as "Runtime host（后续消费者）"
-  participant O as "ManagedWorkspaceOwner"
-  participant S as "SQLite workspace authority"
-  participant G as "Git artifact owner"
-  participant T as "Scope callback"
-
-  H->>O: withManagedWorkspaceExecution(handle, callback)
-  O->>O: 验证 handle 属于本 owner，进入 drain residency
-  O->>S: internal reader 读取 exact workspace/epoch canonical head
-  S-->>O: accepted WorkspaceHead
-  O->>O: exact compare frozen expected head + full cross-plane identity
-  O->>G: one-shot exact receipt/binding/HEAD/tree/lock verification
-  G-->>O: verified artifact
-  O->>S: final internal head reread
-  O->>O: runtime.sqlite pathname+inode guard + pure identity compare
-  O->>T: callback(active opaque scope)
-  T-->>O: result / error
-  O->>O: revoke scope；释放 active residency；允许 close 收敛
-```
-
-这不是跨 SQLite/Git/filesystem 的共同事务。它关闭 cooperating Maka writer 的 proof-to-scope seam；任意外部
-进程仍可能在最后一次 filesystem observation 后制造 drift，后续 admission 会 fail closed。普通生产路径只执行
-图中的一次 final Git verification；只有配置 production-shaped crash failpoint 的测试路径才先执行一次 preliminary
-verification，以便在真实 proof 完成后 `SIGKILL`，随后仍必须再次执行 final verification 才能签发 scope。M1.2 的 worker/
-sandbox 建立实际 I/O 隔离，M2 才负责 mutating tool 产生 successor candidate 并接受新 workspace version。
-
-## 4. Provisioning 与实际可用性边界
-
-本切片 scope 的 provisioning 固定为 `canonical_tree_only_v1`，且 `workspaceEffect` 固定为 `none`。底层
-artifact 只包含 accepted Git tree：
-
-- 不复制 source checkout 的 ignored/untracked 文件；
-- 不复制 `.env`、credential、`node_modules` 或 build cache；
-- 不自动运行安装命令；
-- 不把 scratch/build output 偷偷写入 canonical baseline；
-- 不从 managed profile 静默 fallback 到 attached checkout。
-
-因此 M1.1 可用于验证纯 tracked-tree 读取和后续受控工具接线，但还不宣称一般开发任务已经可用。
-ignored dependency、secret 与 scratch overlay 必须作为独立 M1 provisioning 切片，写明数据来源、生命周期、
-泄露边界和清理方式后才能接入。
-
-## 5. Crash、并发与外部 drift 矩阵
-
-| 场景 | 必须结果 |
-|---|---|
-| baseline 已接受，签发 handle 前崩溃 | 重启后从 canonical head 与 receipt 重新签发新 handle |
-| execution verification 中崩溃 | 没有 durable “half admission”；旧 handle 随进程消失 |
-| crash-test preliminary verification 后 drift | final exact receipt/Git verification 检测并 quarantine；scope 不签发 |
-| 同一 handle 的两个只读 callback 并发 | 两个 scope 可同时 active，彼此独立 revoke |
-| 多个 callback 运行时 owner close | close 等全部 callback drain；不取消已 admission operation |
-| closing 后新 execution 请求 | `managed_workspace_owner_closing` |
-| forged / cross-owner handle | `managed_workspace_execution_handle_invalid` |
-| callback 保存 scope 后再次使用 | scope 已 expired，internal consumer 必须拒绝 |
-| callback 抛错 | scope 仍在 finally 中 revoke，owner residency 正常释放 |
-| worker 在返回结果前失败 | worker error 结束本次 operation；callback 的 finally revoke scope，owner residency 被释放，后续 close 可收敛 |
-| worker timeout / abort | production `FilesystemWorkerClient` 终止并等待 one-shot worker process tree 与 I/O drain 后才 reject；scope 在此之后 revoke |
-| worker 已启动时 host process crash | M1.2 不承诺跨平台 parent-death kill；worker 仍受 read-only sandbox 与单次请求约束，不能留下 workspace mutation，且完成或超时后退出；新 host 必须重新 admission。Shell/Write/Edit 不得借此 seam 执行 |
-| 用户直接编辑 Maka-owned worktree | 系统不能物理阻止；下一次 admission 检测 drift 并 fail closed/quarantine |
-| 重启后恢复 | 新 root owner、新 managed owner、新 handle；不可恢复旧进程内 capability |
-
-production-shaped 测试使用真实 pinned Git、真实 SQLite、真实子进程和 `SIGKILL`，证明 execution artifact
-verification 中断后，重启只能经完整 reopen/revalidate 获得新 scope authority；真实 Git 并发测试证明两个
-只读 scope 可以并行，且 `close()` 必须等待二者全部退出。
-
-filesystem worker 是 one-shot request/response process。它的 `execute()` 合同要求 Promise 只有在该次操作及其
-拥有的 process lifecycle 已终止后才能 settle；storage owner 因而以这个 Promise 作为 execution residency，
-不再增加一个无法约束真实进程的装饰性 lease。正常返回、worker error、timeout 与 abort 都必须先由现有
-`FilesystemWorkerClient` / process runner 收敛，再退出 callback 并 revoke scope。host 被 `SIGKILL` 时无法执行
-JavaScript finally，因此本切片的安全保证来自“只读 operation allowlist + read-only sandbox”，而不是虚构所有平台
-都具备 parent-death cleanup。需要 durable handle 的 ShellRun 继续留在后续独立阶段。
-
-## 6. 平台能力矩阵
-
-| 能力 | Linux | macOS | Windows |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| owner-bound opaque handle | 支持 | 支持 | 支持 |
-| exact SQLite/Git/head/tree revalidation | 支持 | 支持 | 支持 |
-| callback drain | 支持 | 支持 | 支持 |
-| process crash 后重新准入 | 支持 | 支持 | 支持（进程级；不宣称断电 durability） |
-| external drift quarantine | 支持 | 支持 | 有限支持，沿用 Git artifact owner 的 Windows 保证 |
-| managed Read/Glob/Grep worker bridge | 需要可用的 Linux sandbox backend；缺失时 fail closed | 支持 seatbelt worker | 当前不支持；managed Host composition fail closed，不回退 host-local |
-| runtime-host lifecycle composition | 支持 | 支持 | 支持生命周期与 typed profile，但 managed I/O 因 worker 不可用而拒绝 |
-| power-loss durability | 不承诺 | 不承诺 | 不承诺 |
-
-## 7. 后续切片
-
-1. M1.2：owner-bound storage worker bridge 消费 active scope 并在内部解析 cwd；公共 caller 仍不获得 path。
-   managed profile 在 M2 前只允许 `workspaceEffect: none` 的 Read/Glob/Grep；Write/Edit/Format/Bash/未知工具在
-   worker dispatch 前 fail closed。无 ownerToken 的 inspect API 仅保留在显式 test support 中；callback 内
-   reentrant `owner.close()` 由 execution-context guard 拒绝。runtime-host 使用不可混淆的 attached/managed
-   typed profile；managed profile 只携带 opaque handle，绝不携带 attached cwd，也绝不 fallback。Host 先 drain
-   tool operations，再关闭 workspace composition/managed owner，最后由 kernel 关闭 root owner。只有显式提供
-   verified Git runtime 且 sandbox filesystem worker 可用时才组合 managed owner；否则保持未启用或 fail closed。
-2. M1.3：显式 dependency/secret/scratch provisioning；首版若无法安全提供则保持
-   `canonical_tree_only_v1`，不能 silent fallback。
-3. M2：mutation candidate capture/accept；T1 前冻结 profile/base version，SQLite 原子接受 tool outcome
-   与 successor workspace version。
-
-M1.2 提供真实 runtime-host composition seam，但本切片不修改 Desktop/CLI 默认配置，因此不默认开启 managed
-execution，也不改变 attached mode。ASF Desktop 已停止分发 bundled Git；在兼容许可证的 verified runtime
-接入前，managed execution 必须在 admission/T1 前保持不可用，且不得回退系统 Git。

+# Managed Mutation Lifecycle Authority v1
+
+## 1. 交付边界
+
+本切片只证明一个主要不变量：
+
+> 从 managed Write/Edit 的 T1 持久化开始，到可信 terminal state 为止，同一个 workspace instance
+> 只能存在一个 durable mutation owner；成功 outcome、successor workspace version 与 canonical head
+> 必须同时可见或同时不可见；T1 以后 Runtime 不得静默回退到 generic T2。
+
+本切片是后续 Git candidate 与 Write/Edit 生产接线的 persistence/runtime authority。它不创建 managed
+worktree、不执行文件写入、不引入 Git 或 npm 数据面，也不向 Desktop/CLI 开放新模式。没有直接产品消费者
+不是本切片的 correctness 缺陷；后续消费者必须通过这里的 internal capability，而不能复制写入逻辑。
+
+## 2. Owner
+
+| 事实或能力 | 唯一 owner | 代码约束 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| immutable T1 与 managed mutation identity | `SqliteRuntimeStore.commitToolPrepared()` | T1 与 reservation 在同一 SQLite transaction 中提交 |
+| active mutation ownership | SQLite reservation projection | `workspace_instance_id` 主键跨进程仲裁；投影可从 RuntimeEvents 重建 |
+| accepted successor 与 canonical head | workspace successor authority writer | 只消费 repository owner 验证后的 opaque candidate capability；generic writer 不能写 reserved fact |
+| live provider result | `ToolRuntime` | 在 operation 返回边界生成 bounded strict-JSON immutable snapshot |
+| no-effect terminal proof | managed mutation owner | 先签发 opaque no-effect capability；Storage verifier 还原并逐字段绑定 terminal identity，普通 outcome 无权释放 reservation |
+| terminal durable proof | managed admission owner | Runtime 只 adopt 已提交的 exact outcome envelope，不代写 managed T2 |
+
+`RuntimeEvents` 是 durable truth；workspace head 与 reservation 表只是可删除、可重建的投影。internal writer
+通过未导出的 registration/capability seam 暴露，不能依靠注释约束调用者。
+
+当前切片没有生产消费者，在线 authority 校验继续直接读取 immutable RuntimeEvents，避免为了尚未确定的
+生产查询形状提前增加 SQLite schema/index 合同。接入真实 Write/Edit consumer 前，必须基于实际访问模式
+引入不依赖可重建 projection 的有界索引读取；完整 rebuild 仍以 RuntimeEvents 为唯一事实源。
+
+## 3. T1 冻结内容
+
+`toolDispatch.managedMutation` 在 T1 前一次性冻结：
+
+- repository/workspace/epoch/instance identity；
+- base workspace version、accepted event、head revision、commit/tree；
+- 与 durable Write/Edit `args.path` 完全相同的单一 canonical path；
+- Gitoxide path policy v3；
+- Runtime 固定的 managed transform/profile digest；该 digest 绑定一份 canonical profile spec，结果预算等运行时限制直接读取同一 spec，不能作为孤立标签修改；
+- v2 当前唯一支持的 SHA-1 object format。
+
+Storage 在同一个 T1 transaction 内重新比较 function call path 与授权 path，caller 不能自报另一组路径。
+完整路径语义由 Gitoxide policy v3 owner 在后续组合层签发；本切片只持久化其版本和 canonical 结果，不复制
+另一套 Git path parser。durable mode 在 T1 前确定；如果 admission 不可用，必须在 T1 前拒绝。T1 后缺失
+terminal proof、proof 畸形或 owner 异常一律 fail-stop，禁止 generic fallback。
+
+## 4. 原子性边界
+
+### 4.1 T1 与 reservation
+
+单个 `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction 完成：
+
+1. 校验 immutable function call 与 dispatch；
+2. 校验 T1 所引用的 workspace base 正是当前 canonical head；
+3. 写入 call/dispatch RuntimeEvents；
+4. 写入 tool projection；
+5. 获取 `workspace_instance_id` 的唯一 reservation。
+
+冲突 transaction 不产生部分 T1，也不会覆盖已有 owner。
+
+### 4.2 terminal successor
+
+单个 SQLite transaction 完成：
+
+1. 验证 success `function_response` 与原 operation identity；
+2. 通过注册的一次性 verifier 消费 opaque candidate capability；raw commit/tree/path 描述没有提交权限；
+3. 验证 successor 的 parent/base/path/profile 与 T1 完全一致；
+4. 写入 outcome RuntimeEvent；
+5. 写入 successor workspace fact；
+6. 更新 disposable version/head projections；
+7. 释放 durable reservation。
+
+任一步失败则整组 rollback。失败 outcome 不得推进 head。旧 operation 的 exact retry 根据 immutable
+successor 返回 `committedSuccessor` 历史快照，不把它命名或解释为当前 head，也不要求它仍是当前最新 head。
+
+### 4.3 no-effect terminal
+
+`no_workspace_change` 与 `operation_failed_no_effect` 各自拥有明确的 terminal kind。专用 writer 只消费
+mutation owner 签发的 opaque no-effect capability；内部 verifier 将其还原为 operation、dispatch、workspace
+instance 与 terminal kind，并与 durable event 逐字段匹配。普通 outcome 或自报 descriptor 无权释放
+reservation。验证通过后，writer 才在一个 transaction 中写入 function response + reserved terminal action；
+workspace head 保持不变。generic T2 无权写该 action。projection rebuild 根据 immutable terminal 判断
+reservation 已结束，不会把它重新激活。
+
+## 5. Runtime 线性状态机
+
+managed operation capability 由 Runtime 持有，生命周期为：
+
+```text
+open -> running -> settled -> closed
+```
+
+- capability 只能执行一次；terminal settlement 后 retained callback 失效；
+- detached operation 必须 join，不能先结算再产生副作用；
+- Runtime 只执行工具单独提供的 pure managed transform；普通可变 `tool.impl` 在该路径永远不会调用；
+- Runtime 在一次有界 strict-JSON traversal 中复制并冻结结果；默认上限为 1 MiB、64 层、65,536 nodes、
+  65,536 properties 和 65,536 array items；caller 只能进一步收紧，不能放宽；
+- `undefined`、稀疏数组、非有限数字、原型污染形状和超出 byte budget 的结果在 durable publication 前拒绝；
+- live provider result、message、telemetry 与 durable envelope 都读取同一个 snapshot；
+- successor success、no-change success、failed-no-effect 与 unsettled 都不能触发 generic `commitOutcome()`。
+
+## 6. 失败状态与回滚
+
+| 失败点 | durable 状态 | 行为 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| T1 transaction 前或内部 | 无 managed T1/reservation | rollback；允许重新 admission |
+| T1 commit 后、terminal 前 | prepared + active reservation | fail-stop；禁止另一 mutation 获得 ownership |
+| terminal transaction 内 | prepared + active reservation | rollback；不发布 provider result |
+| terminal commit 后响应丢失 | immutable outcome + successor + released reservation | exact retry/adoption，不重写 generic T2 |
+| no-effect terminal commit 后响应丢失 | immutable outcome + terminal + released reservation | exact retry/adoption；head 不变 |
+| projection 缺失 | immutable facts 保留 | 从 RuntimeEvents rebuild |
+| projection 与 facts 不一致 | corruption | fail closed，不猜测修复 |
+
+本切片不定义文件副作用恢复；当 T1 已提交但外部 execution/candidate owner无法证明 terminal 时，reservation
+保留是有意的 parked 状态，交由后续 recovery owner 处理。
+
+## 7. 平台能力矩阵
+
+本切片只依赖 SQLite transaction、WAL 与进程间数据库锁，不执行平台文件 mutation。
+
+| 能力 | Linux | macOS | Windows |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| T1 + reservation 原子提交 | 承诺；Linux storage stress lane | 实现预期；当前 PR 无独立 macOS recovery gate | 承诺；Windows recovery lane |
+| 同 workspace instance 多进程唯一 owner | 承诺；真实双进程测试 | 实现预期；发布证据待补 | 承诺；真实双进程测试 |
+| terminal successor bundle 原子提交 | 承诺 | 实现预期；发布证据待补 | 承诺 |
+| process-crash 后从 facts 重建 | 承诺；真实 child process | 实现预期；发布证据待补 | 承诺；真实 child process |
+| power-loss 后硬件级持久顺序 | 继承 SQLite/OS 合同，不额外扩大承诺 | 同左 | 同左 |
+
+这里不把“代码跨平台”冒充“平台恢复证据”。macOS 在加入独立 recovery gate 前不构成发布承诺；普通单元
+测试也不能替代真实 child-process kill/reopen 与双进程竞争。
+
+## 8. Production-shaped evidence
+
+当前测试覆盖：
+
+- child process 在 T1 transaction 内退出：整组 rollback；
+- child process 在 T1 commit 后退出：reservation 保留；
+- 两个真实进程竞争同一 workspace instance：只有一个获得 reservation；
+- child process 在 successor transaction 内退出：outcome/successor/head 全部 rollback；
+- child process 在 successor commit 后退出：exact retry 返回已接受结果；
+- child process 在 no-effect terminal transaction 内/commit 后退出：分别 rollback 或保留 terminal 并释放 reservation；
+- plain no-effect outcome 缺少 owner-issued capability 时拒绝，并保留 active reservation；
+- 删除 projection 后从 immutable RuntimeEvents 重建 head 与 reservation；
+- Runtime owner 的 retained callback、detached operation、mutable result、oversized/non-JSON result 对抗测试；
+- managed T1 后所有异常路径的 generic T2 调用次数为零。
+
+## 9. 后续消费者合同
+
+后续 Git candidate/Write/Edit PR 必须：
+
+1. 在 T1 前取得并冻结 Gitoxide policy v3 path admission，并提供独立 pure Write/Edit transform；
+2. 只通过本 authority 提交 terminal successor；
+3. 对 T1 后的不确定 effect 返回 unsettled，不能自行清理 reservation；
+4. 用 production-shaped Host/worker crash test 证明不会重放副作用；
+5. 不把本切片的 internal writer 提升为通用 public append API。
+
+## 10. 回滚方式
+
+在尚无 production consumer 时，代码回滚可整体移除 managed dispatch extension、reservation projection 与
+Runtime settlement seam；schema migration 保持 append-only，不复用版本号。若已有数据库升级，降级 binary
+必须按既有 newer-schema 防护 fail closed，不能尝试写入未知 schema。

-# Managed Workspace Owner v1：M0 生命周期门
-
-- 状态：已合并；M1 execution admission 继续复用本 owner 的 lifecycle/drain 门
-- 更新日期：2026-08-04
-- 主要不变量：一个 authenticated interactive storage-root owner 在其生命周期内至多发布一个
-  managed workspace owner；已经 admission 的 workspace 操作必须在关闭前 drain
-- artifact owner：`GitWorkspaceService`
-- lifecycle owner：`ManagedWorkspaceOwner`
-- canonical workspace history：仍由 Workspace Version Authority 拥有；M0 composition 只允许 owner 的
-  `openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(...)` 通过 storage-internal writer 写入 baseline RuntimeEvents
-
-## 1. 为什么需要独立 owner
-
-`GitWorkspaceService` 能创建、验证、repair 与 quarantine Maka-owned Git artifacts，但它是一个
-operation-scoped service；仅有它还不能回答：
-
-- 哪一个 host 有权在当前 storage root 上驱动这些操作；
-- 初始化进行中或失败时，是否可能发布半个可用 owner；
-- shutdown 与进行中的 Git 操作谁先完成；
-- Desktop、CLI 与 runtime-host 是否可能各自绕过同一生命周期门。
-
-本切片把现有 authenticated `InteractiveRootOwner` 作为上层 lease authority。它不增加第二个 OS
-owner lock，也不通过路径自行证明 ownership。
-
-## 2. Owner、边界、失败状态与回滚
-
-| 项目 | 决策 |
-|---|---|
-| 唯一 owner | 一个真实 `InteractiveRootOwner` 对象只能组合一个 `ManagedWorkspaceOwner` |
-| 初始化边界 | pinned Git digest 验证与 storage-root authority probe 全部运行在 root write lease 内 |
-| operation admission | 仅 `ready` 可 admission；每项操作同时持有 managed-owner residency 与 root lease operation |
-| shutdown | `ready -> closing -> closed`；`closing` 拒绝新操作并等待已 admission 操作 drain |
-| 初始化失败 | 返回 `managed_workspace_owner_unavailable`，释放未发布 claim，允许同一 root owner 修正后重试 |
-| 重复组合 | 返回 `managed_workspace_owner_conflict` |
-| drift | 不返回 drifted cwd；receipt/artifact 复验发现 drift 时 fail closed；复验后 reopen 竞态发现 drift 时 durable quarantine |
-| 回滚 | 不接 Desktop/CLI/runtime-host，不改变 attached mode；可删除本 owner 而不改变 Git artifacts 或 RuntimeEvents |
-
-owner 不关闭外层 `InteractiveRootOwner`。Runtime Host 仍拥有 root owner 的最终关闭顺序；managed owner
-必须先关闭。反过来，如果 root owner 已开始关闭，lease revalidation 会阻止新的 managed operation。
-
-## 3. 公开状态机
-
-```mermaid
-stateDiagram-v2
-  [*] --> opening
-  opening --> ready: pinned Git + root lease probe 成功
-  opening --> failed: 初始化失败，释放 unpublished claim
-  ready --> closing: close()
-  closing --> closing: 拒绝新 operation，等待 residency drain
-  closing --> closed: active operations = 0
-  closed --> closed: repeated close()
-```
-
-`opening` 与 `failed` 不作为已发布 owner 的可见状态。factory 只有在初始化完成并再次确认 root owner
-仍然有效后才返回 `ready` owner。
-
-## 4. Workspace gate
-
-owner 的 public surface 开放两个连续、不可绕过的 workspace admission 操作：
-
-1. `openManagedWorkspaceBaseline(store, identity)` 从 eligible clean source 创建/exact-adopt artifact，

 CLI/TUI `/resume` uses the same `SessionManager` plan/execute seam. Desktop startup auto-resume also reuses it.
 
+### Current parked-reason boundary
+
+Runtime Host projects Runtime planner rejection reasons into the closed
+`TurnResumeParkReason` wire union. A CLI must not infer the Host's internal
+state again. The current Host preserves three previously conflated causes:
+
+- `resume_feature_disabled`: the feature flag is off;
+- `continuation_authority_unavailable`: the Host cannot obtain continuation authority;
+- `safety_observation_unavailable`: the Host cannot obtain authoritative safety observations.
+
+The current wire contract no longer contains `continuation_unavailable`. The
+`/resume` driver carries the exact reason in `SafeBoundaryResumeParkedError`.
+The TUI renders only expected user states as informational notices:
+`resume_feature_disabled`, `resume_candidate_missing`, and `session_busy`.
+Authority, safety, and other recovery failures remain red errors with the raw
+reason preserved for diagnosis.
+
+Because this changes a closed protocol union, Runtime Host compatibility epoch
+57 rejects mixed old/new Client-Host pairs during handshake instead of letting
+a Client misclassify a recovery failure as a disabled feature. This change only
+corrects Host projection and CLI presentation; it does not move ownership of
+the planner, durable continuation claim, or feature flag.

-- every admission reproves storage-root identity, the exact Git receipt/binding/HEAD/tree/ownership, and the exact SQLite canonical head; the ordinary path performs its slow Git verification first, then makes the immutable SQLite head the final durable reread before the DB identity guard and pure in-memory comparisons;
-- one admission issues one callback-scoped opaque scope with `workspaceEffect: none`; the same handle may have multiple concurrent read-only scopes;
-- `close()` rejects new admissions and drains every active scope; a scope expires when its callback exits, with typed `managed_workspace_execution_scope_invalid` and `managed_workspace_execution_scope_expired` codes for forged and retained scopes;
-- the crash harness may enable a preliminary-verification failpoint, but that test path must still pass the final verification before any scope is issued.

-M1.2 adds the owner-bound storage worker bridge and its runtime-host lifecycle composition in one delivery. It limits managed execution to Read/Glob/Grep, demotes unchecked scope inspection to explicit test support, rejects reentrant owner close, keeps attached and managed profiles structurally distinct, and orders shutdown as tool operations → managed owner → root owner. Desktop and CLI do not enable it by default in this slice; Write/Edit/Format/Bash/unknown tools fail closed, and managed mode never silently falls back to the attached checkout.

-## 4. Git-native managed workspace 演进
-
-### M0 — Baseline admission（已合并）
-
-M0 只证明一条接受链：
-
-```text
-authenticated storage-root owner
-→ create/reopen Maka-owned managed Git workspace
-→ durable exact receipt
-→ SQLite atomic epoch + baseline acceptance
-→ post-commit DB/Git/root-owner revalidation
-→ publish usable baseline
-```
-
-M0 不接 Desktop、CLI、runtime host 或工具执行。Whole-root import 当前只恢复 storage-root identity 与
-SQLite ownership；既有 linked worktree 的路径迁移需要独立 relocation/rematerialization 协议。非空且未绑定的
-legacy DB 继续 fail closed，未来由显式、备份后、可审计的 root-binding maintenance flow 处理，不能藏在首次
-baseline open 中。
-
-### M1 — Execution admission 与环境可用性
-
-只允许 host 从 M0 成功返回的 accepted handle 取得工具 cwd，并证明：
-
-- managed owner 与 runtime host 的启动、drain、关闭顺序；
-- 每次执行前 exact instance/HEAD/tree/ownership revalidation；
-- ignored dependencies、`.env` 与 build scratch 使用明确 provisioning/overlay policy，不污染 canonical tree；
-- 外部修改 Maka-owned worktree 时检测 drift、fail closed 并 quarantine；
-- attached 与 managed execution profile 在类型和配置上不可静默互相 fallback。
-
-M1 拆成独立不变量，避免一次 PR 同时跨越 host lifecycle、runtime protocol 与 platform I/O：
-
-1. **M1.1 execution scope admission（当前切片）**：M0 只返回 owner-bound opaque handle；同一 owner 每次
-   execution 都在 drain residency 内重新证明 canonical head、Git receipt、HEAD/tree/ownership 与 root
-   identity，最后只签发 callback 生命周期内有效的 opaque scope，不公开 raw cwd。provisioning 固定为
-   `canonical_tree_only_v1`，`workspaceEffect` 固定为 `none`。同一 handle 可以并发多个只读 admission，
-   `close()` 必须等待全部 active scope drain；普通生产 admission 只做一次最终 Git verification，preliminary
-   verification 仅存在于配置 crash failpoint 的 production-shaped 测试路径；过期或伪造 scope 通过 typed
-   `ManagedWorkspaceExecutionAuthorityError` 的稳定 code fail closed；
-2. **M1.2 owner-bound worker 与 runtime-host composition**：storage-internal bridge 只能用同 owner 的 active
-   scope 解析 cwd，M2 前只允许 Read/Glob/Grep；建立不可混淆的 managed/attached typed profile 与
-   startup/drain/shutdown 顺序，关闭顺序固定为 tool operations → managed owner → root owner；
-3. **M1.3 environment provisioning**：单独设计 ignored dependency、secret 与 scratch overlay。M1.1 不复制
-   `.env`、`node_modules` 或 build output，也不以 attached checkout silent fallback 掩盖能力缺失。
-
-M1.1 合同见
-[Managed Workspace Execution Admission v1](./runtime-managed-workspace-execution-admission-v1.zh-CN.md)。
-
-### M2 — Mutation version acceptance
-
-每个 mutating tool 使用 candidate ref/version 协议：
-
-1. T1 前冻结 execution profile、base workspace version 与 mutation identity；
-2. 工具只在 owned worktree 中执行；
-3. Git artifact owner 捕获并验证 candidate commit/tree；
-4. SQLite 在一个 authority transaction 中接受 tool outcome 与 successor workspace version；
-5. artifact orphan 可回收；canonical fact 已接受而 artifact 缺失时 fail closed；
-6. crash matrix 覆盖执行前后、candidate durable 前后、SQLite commit 前后与返回前复验。
-
-这一步取代旧的“先做通用 checkpoint contract，再接 observe-only Git carrier”。不得同时维护两套
-managed workspace version writer。
-
-### M3 — Workspace-bound continuation / resume
+### Gitoxide managed workspace
 
-Continuation boundary 同时绑定 immutable RuntimeEvent cursor 与 accepted workspace version/epoch：
+旧 Git executable-backed managed workspace 从未获得生产 baseline/profile 调用方，其 service、owner、
+receipt、worktree materialization 与 Runtime Host admission path 已删除。schema 9 RuntimeEvents、workspace
+projection reader/rebuild 与升级合同继续保留；它们是历史事实 authority，不是可执行 Git path。
 
-- planner 与 execution revalidation 读取同一 canonical boundary；
-- startup reopen 必须重新证明 exact Git artifact、storage root 与 owner；
-- operation effect 无法证明、artifact 漂移或 execution profile 不匹配时 park；
-- 自动 resume 仍由独立用户设置控制，默认关闭；手动恢复与自动恢复不能共享一个含糊开关。
+## 4. Gitoxide managed workspace 后续边界

+- repository admission 与 schema 9 workspace authority 的单一写入边界；
+- mutation T1/T2、workspace version 与 tool outcome 的原子接受；
+- workspace-bound continuation、restore、rebaseline 与 product workflow。
 
-- isolated restore，不覆盖用户当前目录；
-- explicit rebaseline，创建新 epoch 并要求模型重新读取；
-- publish/merge/undo、retention 与 orphan GC；
-- whole-root managed-workspace relocation；
-- replication/cross-device 与 multi-agent merge。

+# ADR: One WorkHub Coordination Session per Runtime Host
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-08-25
+- Scope: WorkHub architecture
+- Decision source: [Discussion #3286](https://github.com/apache/maka/discussions/3286#discussioncomment-18135855)
+- Delivery tracker: [Issue #3492](https://github.com/apache/maka/issues/3492)
+
+## Context
+
+WorkHub is intended to be one persistent conversational place where a user can ask
+an ordinary question, clarify intent, continue existing work, or create new work.
+R2.4 is a deterministic routing and context-continuity baseline that may also serve
+as a future target resolver. It does not provide a persistent WorkHub conversation
+and is not the final definition or authority boundary of WorkHub.
+
+A persistent coordinator needs durable conversational continuity without creating
+a second WorkHub database, event store, transcript substrate, or lifecycle
+authority alongside Session.
+
+## Decision
+
+Each Runtime Host independently owns one stable WorkHub **Coordination Session**.
+The Coordination Session is a special role of the existing Session, not a new
+durable entity type or storage system. It reuses the existing Session, Turn,
+transcript, model, recovery, and event infrastructure. Session remains the only
+durable conversation and execution substrate.
+
+The role is provisioned lazily when WorkHub first needs it and resolves to the same
+Session after Runtime Host or application restarts. The Session role representation,
+lookup, recovery, and per-Host UI resolution enforce this lifecycle contract. The
+coordination transcript and disposition semantics remain separate later work.
+
+The per-Host boundary is intentional. A Coordination Session coordinates only the
+ordinary Sessions belonging to the same Runtime Host. Switching Runtime Hosts
+selects the other Host's Coordination Session; the first milestone does not support
+cross-Host coordination or a global Coordination Session.
+
+The Coordination Session is hidden from the ordinary Session list and excluded
+from every routing-candidate set. The Action Gate's self-route rejection remains a
+defense in depth; it is not a substitute for keeping the Coordination Session out of
+ordinary navigation and target discovery.
+
+## Durable authority boundaries
+
+| Concern | Durable authority |
+| --- | --- |
+| User messages sent in WorkHub, ordinary Q&A, clarification, coordination decisions, bounded delegation references, and coordination summaries | The active Runtime Host's Coordination Session |
+| Concrete execution, project and filesystem scope, model and permission mode, root-Turn admission, tools, artifacts, recovery, archive/delete, and the authoritative execution transcript | The target ordinary Session |
+| Aggregated WorkHub cards, filters, status summaries, and navigation aids | No durable authority; these are rebuildable projections of Session facts |
+
+The Coordination Session is authoritative only for the coordination conversation.
+It never acquires authority over an ordinary Session's execution or lifecycle.
+
+## Dispositions and action admission
+
+Every WorkHub input resolves to exactly one proposed **disposition**:
+
+- `answer_here`: answer in the Coordination Session.
+- `delegate_existing`: delegate concrete work to one bounded, valid ordinary
+  Session.
+- `create_new`: create an ordinary Session, then delegate concrete work to it.
+- `clarify`: continue clarification in the Coordination Session without guessing a
+  target or creating a Session.
+
+Linked correction is a user-confirmed coordination operation over a prior durable
+delegation, not a model disposition. Its replacement target is still restricted to
+`delegate_existing` or explicit `create_new` admission.
+
+All model and routing output is advisory. Before any write, a deterministic
+**Action Gate** admits or rejects the proposed disposition and operation. The gate
+enforces Runtime Host and target validity, archive and waiting state, self-route
+exclusion, explicit `create_new`, and existing tool and permission ceilings. For a
+replacement, the gate additionally requires explicit correction evidence in the
+trusted user text, claims the source delegation in Coordination transcript order,
+and rejects any later competing replacement intent. Neither a model nor a routing
+policy can directly authorize a write, Stop, or expansion of execution authority.
+
+## Delegation links rather than copies transcripts
+
+A delegation persists only a bounded link between the coordination and execution
+transcripts, such as:
+
+```text
+delegationId
+coordinationTurnId
+targetSessionId
+targetMessageId
+targetTurnId
+disposition
+```
+
+The initial assignment link does not mirror the target Turn's execution lifecycle.
+Target acceptance, running, waiting, completion, failure, abort, and recovery state
+remain ordinary Session facts. WorkHub derives those states as read-only
+projections and does not persist them as independent Coordination Session truth.
+Linked correction records coordination-owned `active` / `superseded` / `aborted`
+linkage without turning target execution status into WorkHub-owned state. Here,
+`aborted` means the source link was retired but replacement admission could not
+complete because the selected target became archived, disappeared, or began
+waiting for user input. The renderer rebuilds active linkage from the complete
+Coordination transcript separately from its bounded visible timeline, preserving
+durable transcript sequence rather than wall-clock order.
+
+The ordinary Session records the delegated request, tools, side effects, and
+authoritative result. WorkHub may display a bounded projection or record a
+coordination summary, but it does not copy the ordinary Session's complete
+transcript into the Coordination Session. The assignment projection preserves
+`create_new` so the visible card explicitly tells the user that WorkHub created a
+new work item rather than merely saying that an existing item accepted the request.
+
+Delegation linkage uses one closed, typed `delegation_assigned` record in the
+existing Coordination Session transcript. Under the Coordination and target
+Session admission authorities, one `runtime.sqlite` transaction commits that
+record together with the target pending-message admission. For `create_new`, the
+target Session metadata is created in the same transaction. The record carries the
+exact user text, resolved target and target Message/Turn identities, creation
+context, and stable display name. Its action fingerprint rejects conflicting reuse
+of an action identity.
+
+The transaction is the user-visible assignment boundary. Before commit neither
+Session observes the work; after commit both the WorkHub linkage and target input
+exist. Waking or continuing the in-memory executor happens only after commit. A
+Host crash between commit and wake is handled by ordinary pending-message recovery,
+so WorkHub does not own a second recovery state machine or compensation chain.
+The `delegation_assigned` record itself projects the visible WorkHub turn; the
+renderer does not append a second summary.
+
+The first-response contract is hybrid. The atomic `delegation_assigned` record is
+an immediate durable acknowledgement, so WorkHub confirms acceptance without
+waiting for target execution. The target Message is the stable delegation
+identity; `targetTurnId` records only its admission location. WorkHub asks the
+target Message authority which Turn durably consumed or admitted that Message,
+then joins the resolved Turn's recorded lifecycle and the target Session's exact
+live-Turn membership to project `running`, `waiting_for_user`, `completed`,
+`failed`, and `aborted`. This remains correct when an unconsumed steering Message
+is folded into a successor Turn or recovery aggregates several pending Messages
+under one new Turn. A durable cancellation tombstone for a retracted queued
+Message resolves the delegation to `aborted`. If the target authority is
+temporarily unreadable, WorkHub projects `recovering` rather than inventing a
+terminal result. These execution states are never appended as mutable Coordination
+records; Session change notifications invalidate the projection and opening
+WorkHub after restart rebuilds it from the same link and target facts.
+
+The renderer persists only a Host-scoped action id until acknowledgement. Composer
+draft text uses a separate storage key and lifecycle. A reload therefore preserves
+idempotency without freezing old text or coupling draft edits to Host authority.
+`waiting_for_user` remains a local, retryable result because no assignment has yet
+been committed.
+
+Before any destructive retirement, replacement persists a
+`delegation_replacement_requested` record whose identity is unique to the source
+delegation. The target Session's ordinary Message authority then either cancels
+the exact still-pending delegated Message or resolves how the Message entered an
+execution Turn. A root Turn created by that Message may be stopped; a pre-existing
+user Turn that merely consumed it as steering is shared authority and must remain
+running. Replacement assignment and the old link's `delegation_superseded` proof
+commit atomically. Retrying the same action recovers the crash seam after
+retirement/Stop and before replacement assignment. The replacement fingerprint
+binds the resolved stable target Session id rather than its transient candidate
+reference, so metadata refreshes do not change action identity and a retry cannot
+select a different Session. If the target becomes archived, unavailable, or
+waiting after the destructive retirement boundary, Coordination appends a
+`delegation_replacement_aborted` terminal fact. That auditable fact removes the
+retired source from active linkage and makes later retries return the same terminal
+outcome instead of displaying a stopped, unsuperseded link.
+
+## Consequences, costs, and reevaluation
+
+- WorkHub gains persistent conversational continuity without adding another
+  durable authority, database, event store, lifecycle, or transcript copy.
+- Coordination and execution remain separately authoritative within the shared
+  Session substrate.
+- The per-Host boundary fragments WorkHub continuity when a user switches Runtime
+  Hosts: each Host has a separate coordination transcript and cannot coordinate the
+  other Host's Sessions.
+- The special Session role adds provisioning, lookup, recovery, retention, and UI
+  obligations even though it deliberately reuses the existing Session substrate.
+- Every delegated Coordination turn adds one typed assignment record, which is
+  also its visible timeline source.
+- Whether Work is 1:1 with Session, 1:N over Sessions, or an independent durable
+  entity remains unresolved.
+- Cross-Runtime-Host coordination remains deferred.
+- Coordination Session role representation, lazy creation, durable lookup,
+  recovery, per-Host UI resolution, persistent transcript, closed dispositions,
+  and the Action Gate are implemented. Durable delegation linkage is encoded in
+  that transcript; target lifecycle projection and the hybrid first-response
+  contract are implemented as rebuildable reads. Linked correction, exact
+  target-owned pending cancellation/Turn Stop, atomic supersession, and retry-based
+  replacement recovery are implemented. Broader stop/resume controls remain later
+  work.
+
+Reevaluate the per-Host decision if supported workflows require one WorkHub
+conversation to coordinate ordinary Sessions on multiple Runtime Hosts, or if Host
+switching creates user-visible continuity loss that rebuildable projections cannot
+resolve. Reevaluate the special Session role if implementing its lifecycle requires
+a second durable authority or exceptions that the ordinary Session substrate cannot
+enforce safely.
+
+## Rejected alternatives
+
+- A second WorkHub database, event store, transcript substrate, or lifecycle
+  authority.
+- One global Coordination Session spanning Runtime Hosts.
+- Copying an ordinary Session's complete transcript into WorkHub.
+- Allowing model or routing output to authorize writes without the deterministic
+  Action Gate.

 ## Severity legend
 
 - **blocker** — raw interactive control with an Astryx twin available (`button`/`input`/`select`).
+- **reimplementation** — a public `@maka/ui` export shadows a shipped Astryx component (same name, not a re-export). A neutral signal for review, not proof of a semantic re-implementation.
 - **polish** — off-rhythm control heights or softer smells; not wrong primitive choice.
 - **aligned** — no blocker smell found; Astryx usage noted when present.

+
+1. [npm publication](../.github/workflows/npm-publication.yml) is the only Trusted Publisher caller.

+before relying on the schedule. This variable controls npm only; Desktop has its own independent
+`DESKTOP_NIGHTLY_ENABLED` rollout gate.
+
+## Product Nightly
+
+The scheduled `npm-publication.yml` run creates one immutable version such as
+`0.2.0-dev.42.20260829` from the exact scheduled `main` commit, validates the four-platform
+`maka-agent` tarball, and publishes it under `nightly`. Only after the exact version and dist-tag are
+public does the successful workflow trigger `desktop-nightly.yml`. Desktop consumes only that
+version; the authenticated upstream event supplies the exact source commit. The packaged Desktop
+records the exact Runtime Host setup specifier, for example `maka-agent@0.2.0-dev.42.20260829`; it
+never installs the mutable `nightly` tag.
+
+The two workflows publish in this order:
+
+1. require the candidate npm run number to be newer than the current `nightly` tag;
+2. publish the exact npm tarball with provenance under `nightly`;
+3. require both the exact version and `nightly` tag to be readable from the public registry;
+4. build, verify, and attest the exact Desktop packages and GitHub `dev` metadata;
+5. bind a protected `v<version>` tag to the exact source commit and verify all nine draft assets;
+6. publish the GitHub prerelease with Latest disabled only after the draft is complete.
+
+This ordering prevents Desktop from advertising a Runtime Host version that npm does not have and
+keeps npm Nightly independent from Desktop packaging. A failed npm or Desktop run is never rerun in
+place because each attempt has an immutable npm version; start a fresh npm Nightly run instead:
+
+```sh
+gh workflow run npm-publication.yml --ref main -f channel=nightly
+```
+
+Nightly is a developer snapshot, not an Apache release. Do not promote it from end-user download
+pages. Developers may install the moving channel explicitly with `maka-agent@nightly`; product
+automation must use the exact version recorded by Desktop.

This is a two-level authority boundary: models.dev remains the upstream refresh source, while the committed snapshot is the sole build input for a particular repository revision and release. An explicit refresh imports upstream changes for review; normal installation and build paths never fetch a moving latest response. At run time the Runtime Host fetches `https://models.dev/api.json` once at startup and holds the projection in memory for that process; it is never written to disk and never enters a build, so the redistributed artifact stays bound to the committed snapshot. That fetch goes through the same outbound admission as the WebFetch tool, so privacy mode suppresses it and a configured proxy carries it.

 ## Bootstrap generative tooling

 No additional source-removal issue is indicated by the recovered scan. A recurring cloud snippet scan is not recommended until the project chooses a service, data policy, stable thresholds, and an owner for false-positive review.

+That check has a structural blind spot worth stating plainly. `scripts/generate-third-party-notices.mjs` derives its inventory from npm production dependency trees, so material that enters the repository as vendored or adapted source, or as generated data, is invisible to it by construction — not missed by accident.

 The scanner has a comparable blind spot. Entry 17 was matched at 14% against an unrelated package, and what actually identified its origin was structural: near-verbatim doc comments, preserved declaration forms, and a reproduced upstream inconsistency. A follow-up sweep for the same pattern across the repository — comparing locally declared types against installed dependency declarations by name overlap and ordered property sequences — found no second instance. That sweep is still blind to a copy whose type and field names were renamed, and no comment, import, or architectural note suggests such a case exists.

+# Terminal-Bench 2.1 — DeepSeek V4 Flash nine-harness comparison
+
+This report records the final selected outcomes for nine coding-agent harnesses around the same
+DeepSeek V4 Flash model on all 89 Terminal-Bench 2.1 tasks. It extends the earlier four-arm report
+in [#2208](https://github.com/maka-agent/maka-agent/pull/2208) with OpenCode, Kimi Code, ZCode, Pi,
+and DeepSeek Harness (DSH).
+
+**Benchmark:** Terminal-Bench 2.1, revision
+`d49e28f1e4ddd13d289e85a5f312a66750951932`
+
+**Model:** `deepseek-v4-flash`
+
+**Reasoning effort:** `max`
+
+**Metric:** end-to-end pass@1 by the official task verifier
+
+**Per-task outcomes:**
+[`terminal-bench-2.1-deepseek-v4-flash-nine-arm.csv`](./terminal-bench-2.1-deepseek-v4-flash-nine-arm.csv)
+
+## TL;DR
+
+- **Codex leads at 73/89 (82.0%)**, followed by Maka at 69/89 (77.5%), Pi at 66/89
+  (74.2%), and DSH at 65/89 (73.0%).
+- All nine harnesses pass the same 28 tasks. Five tasks fail on every harness:
+  `extract-moves-from-video`, `filter-js-from-html`, `gcode-to-text`,
+  `make-doom-for-mips`, and `torch-pipeline-parallelism`.
+- Pi records the lowest observed cost per pass at $0.019739. DSH and Maka are nearly tied on this
+  measure at $0.026230 and $0.026307.
+- The original eight arms ran as one cohort. DSH ran later under the same benchmark, model,
+  reasoning, tool-egress, permission, verifier, and task-native timeout contracts, but not in the
+  same simultaneous cohort. The nine-way ranking is therefore descriptive rather than a paired
+  causal comparison.
+
+## Leaderboard
+
+The reporting projection treats the token, cache, and cost values recorded by the selected attempts
+as authoritative and does not extrapolate unobserved provider usage.
+
+| Rank | Harness | Passed | Pass@1 | Tokens | Average/task | Cache rate | Cost |
+| ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| 1 | Codex | 73/89 | **82.0%** | 259.62M | 2.92M | 98.6% | $2.105 |
+| 2 | Maka | 69/89 | **77.5%** | 185.71M | 2.09M | 98.8% | $1.815 |
+| 3 | Pi | 66/89 | **74.2%** | 131.40M | 1.48M | 98.5% | $1.303 |
+| 4 | DSH | 65/89 | **73.0%** | 182.84M | 2.05M | 98.6% | $1.705 |
+| 5 | ZCode | 63/89 | **70.8%** | 223.46M | 2.51M | 98.9% | $2.287 |
+| 6 | Reasonix | 60/89 | **67.4%** | 216.17M | 2.43M | 99.0% | $1.935 |
+| 7 | OpenCode | 58/89 | **65.2%** | 166.44M | 1.87M | 98.6% | $1.745 |
+| 8 | Kimi Code | 53/89 | **59.6%** | 193.75M | 2.18M | 98.2% | $2.162 |
+| 9 | Claude Code | 49/89 | **55.1%** | 247.60M | 2.78M | 98.9% | $2.633 |
+
+The 26.9-point spread between Codex and Claude Code is 24 tasks. Every task is worth approximately
+1.12 percentage points on this fixed suite.
+
+## Outcome agreement
+
+| Agreement class | Tasks |
+| --- | ---: |
+| All nine pass | 28 |
+| All nine fail | 5 |
+| Mixed outcome | 56 |
+
+The per-task CSV is the authoritative projection for these counts. It contains exactly 89 unique
+task ids and reproduces every harness total in the leaderboard.
+
+## Outcome-normalized economics
+
+Cost per pass includes the recorded cost of both successful and failed selected cells.
+
+| Harness | Recorded cost | Passed | Cost/pass |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Pi | $1.303 | 66 | **$0.019739** |
+| DSH | $1.705 | 65 | **$0.026230** |
+| Maka | $1.815 | 69 | **$0.026307** |
+| Codex | $2.105 | 73 | **$0.028832** |
+| OpenCode | $1.745 | 58 | **$0.030084** |

+| Kimi Code | $2.162 | 53 | **$0.040798** |
+| Claude Code | $2.633 | 49 | **$0.053741** |
+
+These are descriptive point estimates from one selected attempt per cell. They are not billing
+invoices or statistical cost-equivalence claims.
+
+## Frozen execution contract
+
+| Dimension | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Benchmark | Terminal-Bench 2.1; 89 explicit tasks at revision `d49e28f1e4ddd13d289e85a5f312a66750951932` |
+| Model | `deepseek-v4-flash` on every arm |
+| Reasoning | `max`; provider thinking enabled |
+| Repetitions | 1 |
+| Verifier | Official task-native Terminal-Bench verifier |
+| Deadline | Each task's native agent timeout ×1 |
+| Max steps | 100,000 |
+| Web tools | Removed from the provider-visible tool surface |
+| Shell networking | Enabled, with benchmark-contamination egress filtering |
+| Permissions | Non-interactive benchmark execution |
+| Selection | Valid scored attempts; authorized infrastructure replacements and recorded metric recovery |
+
+The harnesses retain their native prompts, tool schemas, context management, process lifecycle, and
+execution loops. The result compares complete harness systems around one model; it is not a
+single-component ablation.
+
+## Outcome accounting and recovery
+
+The eight-arm result was assembled from the full cohort plus bounded infrastructure, usage, and
+trajectory recovery runs. The final eight-arm trajectory manifest records 712/712 cells with a
+physical trajectory artifact and no missing selected cell.
+
+DSH initially recorded 61/89. Real-machine inspection identified three Eval-specific defects:
+
+1. A five-minute DSH Bash timeout interrupted package installation and left `dpkg` unusable for
+   verification.
+2. Package installation inherited an interactive `tzdata` configuration path instead of the
+   benchmark's non-interactive execution contract.
+3. DSH and the Eval relay terminated task-created background services before the shared-environment
+   verifier could reach them.
+
+Commit `28ebe0949` deferred Bash lifetime to the benchmark deadline, made package installation
+non-interactive, and preserved background descendants only after successful DSH exit. Seven
+affected cells were rerun. Four changed from fail to pass:
+

+- DSH was a configuration-aligned follow-up run, not a ninth arm started simultaneously with the
+  original eight-arm cohort.
+- Some persisted trajectories hit the Eval recording limit. This affects replay completeness, not
+  the official verifier score used here.
+- The report uses the recorded token, cache, and cost aggregates directly, without replacing them
+  with projections.
+- Recovery admissions can sample a different model trajectory. The CSV freezes the selected final
+  outcomes used by this report.

+The released CLI and Desktop include the native direct-peer transport; the Host does not need Rust
+or a source checkout. For an SSH-managed Host, Desktop can enable it from that computer's management
+dialog and creates a separate experimental profile without deleting the SSH profile. Only one

+This direct-only path is experimental and may fail on restrictive NAT or UDP-blocked networks. It
+does not replace an existing TLS, SSH, or overlay-network fallback. By default, the Host uses a
+bounded client-only view of the public IPFS DHT to discover Circuit Relay v2 candidates and fills a
+target of two accepted reservations after accounting for manual relays. Manually configured relays
+remain preferred. Disable or restore this
+best-effort discovery with `peer enable --no-automatic-relay-discovery` or
+`peer enable --automatic-relay-discovery`; disabling it leaves manual relays intact. Public peers can
+observe the discovery connection and may refuse or drop reservations. Only accepted reservations
+are advertised to Mesh peers, and Maka still requires the application stream to upgrade to a direct
+connection instead of carrying Session traffic through the relay.
+
+Maka races its supported direct transports automatically; users do not select QUIC or WebRTC.

-# Session Task Ledger Lifecycle
-
-This document defines the lifecycle and persistence contract for the task ledger
-attached to an interactive session. The ledger tracks model-visible work items
-inside a Runtime Host Session; it is not an Eval experiment or cell ledger.
-
-## Scope
-
-Maka has a session-scoped task ledger with `task_create`, `task_update`,
-`task_list`, `task_get`, `task-events.jsonl`, `tasks.json`, and turn-tail prompt
-injection. The implementation keeps lifecycle validation, event replay, storage
-projection, tool access, and recovery classification on one contract.
-
-Non-goals:
-
-- no workflow engine;
-- no cron or automation scheduling;
-- no project-management editing, dependency graph, drag-and-drop, or bulk
-  scheduling UI;
-- no replacement for `AgentRun`, `RuntimeEvent`, filesystem, git, test, or tool
-  evidence.
-
-Task status is advisory control state. It must not override real filesystem,
-git, test, verifier, scorer, or tool evidence.
-
-## Identity and Hierarchy
-
-Every current task has two identifiers:
-
-- `id` is the durable UUID primary key. It is never rewritten.
-- `key` is the session-local short reference (`T1`, `T1.1`, and deeper forms)
-  used in prompts, tools, and UI.
-
-Read and update operations accept either form. Keys are allocated inside the
-per-session serialized write queue. A child stores its parent's UUID in
-`parentId`; its short key is allocated under the parent's key. Children cannot
-be created under terminal parents, and a parent cannot become `completed`
-while any descendant remains non-terminal. A parent/child edge must advance the
-short key by exactly one segment (`T1` -> `T1.1`); skipped levels such as a
-direct `T1` -> `T1.1.1` edge invalidate the projection and fail closed.
-
-Old `tasks.json` snapshots and JSONL events without `key` or `endedAt` remain
-readable. Projection assigns stable keys in first-seen creation-event order
-(falling back to timestamps only when event order is unavailable) and derives
-missing terminal timestamps from `updatedAt`. The first later mutation appends
-compatibility events before the new mutation so the derived fields become
-durable without changing UUIDs.
-
-## Task Status
-
-Task statuses are:
-
-- `pending`: declared but not started.
-- `in_progress`: actively being worked on.
-- `blocked`: cannot continue without external input, dependency, permission, or
-  prerequisite repair.
-- `completed`: finished with evidence.
-- `failed`: attempted and ended unsuccessfully with a reason.
-- `cancelled`: intentionally stopped and should not resume automatically.
-
-Allowed transitions:
-
-```text
-pending -> in_progress
-pending -> cancelled
-
-in_progress -> blocked
-in_progress -> completed
-in_progress -> failed
-in_progress -> cancelled
-
-blocked -> in_progress
-blocked -> cancelled
-blocked -> failed
-
-failed -> pending
-failed -> cancelled
-
-completed -> in_progress   only with explicitReopen: true
-cancelled -> pending       only with explicitReopen: true
-```
-
-## Evidence
-
-New updates into these states require evidence:
-
-- `blocked` requires `blockedReason`.
-- `failed` requires `failureReason`.
-- `completed` requires `completionEvidence`.
-
-Evidence is compact text. Later work can replace or supplement it
-with first-class run, tool-call, artifact, verifier, or scorer references.
-
-Legacy completed or cancelled tasks that predate this contract may still be
-read from `tasks.json`. New updates must satisfy the evidence rules.
-
-## Resume Trust
-
-The source-backed type includes a conservative `resumeTrust` classifier:
-
-- `trusted`: durable evidence is intact.
-- `needs_revalidation`: state may still be correct, but related external truth
-  should be checked again.
-- `stale`: task was active when the session or run was interrupted.
-- `repaired`: recovery logic changed the projected state.
-- `untrusted`: ledger, references, or state are corrupt or missing.
-
-The type and pure classifier are source-backed. `resumeTrust` is a system
-diagnostic and is not injected into the model-visible task ledger until recovery
-logic owns the value.
-
-Recovery/read-model classification uses the conservative classifier:
-
-- `in_progress` tasks are `stale`.
-- tasks with missing required evidence are `needs_revalidation`.
-- corrupt ledgers, invalid projections, or missing references are `untrusted`.
-- repaired projections are `repaired`.
-
-## Tool Surface
-
-The model-facing tools are:
-
-- `task_create`
-- `task_update`
-- `task_list`
-- `task_get`
-
-The four ledger tools only mutate/read local session state; they do not dispatch
-work themselves. `task_create.tasks[].parent_id`, all task reference inputs,
-and `agent_spawn.task_id` accept UUIDs or short keys. `task_list` supports exact
-`status`, `include_terminal`, and `include_archived` filters; its no-argument
-behavior remains compatible with the original full-list behavior.
-
-### Runtime Host Authority
-
-The non-serving Runtime Host composition opens the interactive Task Ledger
-writer under its Storage root owner lease. One per-Session coordinator
-implements the Runtime `TaskLedgerStore` port and serves the read-only
-`task.ledger.query` Client operation. Reads, mutations, claims, and child
-outcomes invoked through that port therefore share the same Session admission
-boundary instead of creating a second Task Ledger authority.
-
-The Host binds this port into the real-model task and child-agent tool
-composition. Desktop and CLI consume the same Client projection and do not
-open an interactive Task Ledger writer.
-
-Client queries return the canonical, sanitized projection in item- and
-byte-bounded pages. A content revision pins each traversal; a continuation from
-an older projection returns `revision_changed` rather than mixing snapshots
-across Host epochs. The authority preserves the existing `task-events.jsonl`,
-`tasks.json`, legacy-read, and backfill behavior. Runtime Host is the sole
-interactive writer after production activation.
-
-## Child Agent Ownership
-
-`agent_spawn(task_id=...)` resolves the task in the current session and claims
-it only after the runtime has allocated the real child turn. The claim sets the
-task to `in_progress` and records a `child_agent` owner. Once the child settles,
-the owner is enriched with the real run and turn references.
-
-A successful child does not complete the task. The parent agent must verify the
-result and supply `completionEvidence`. A failed or cancelled child records the
-truthful task outcome; a child waiting for permission leaves the task blocked.
-An active task already owned by another child turn cannot be stolen.
-
-## Prompt Budget and Archive
-
-The current-turn task tail is capped at 8,000 characters (approximately 2,000
-tokens). It renders short keys rather than UUIDs and prioritizes
-`in_progress`, `pending`, and `blocked` branches. Ancestors of included active
-tasks are retained so hierarchy remains understandable. Up to three recent
-terminal tasks are added when budget permits. When tasks are omitted, the tail
-reports the omitted count and points the model to `task_list` / `task_get`.
-
-Terminal tasks receive `endedAt`. They become logically archived after seven
-days: storage remains append-only and no task is deleted, while prompt and UI
-reads exclude archived terminal tasks. Explicit tool reads may opt back into
-them.
-
-Secret redaction, task-ledger tag stripping, evidence validation, and exclusion
-of `resumeTrust=untrusted` tasks apply before model-visible rendering.
-
-## Goal Completion Gate
-
-Ordinary interactive turns never trigger an extra model call because tasks are
-unfinished. The turn tail is advisory only.
-
-When an autonomous Goal is active, its external evaluator still decides first.
-If the evaluator says achieved or impossible, that terminal decision wins. If
-the Goal continues and pending or in-progress task keys remain, the continuation
-text includes one task reminder per Goal id. Blocked, failed, cancelled, and
-completed tasks do not trigger the reminder. The reminder is consumed only
-after the final idle check and synchronous turn injection, so a concurrent user
-turn cannot spend it without showing it. Later continuations are allowed without
-another task-specific reminder. Every injected decision is recorded as a
-`task_gate_decided` AgentRun event with the Goal id, decision, and task keys.
-When iteration, no-progress, or token caps stop a Goal, the stop event records
-the remaining actionable task keys as well.
-
-## Debug and Desktop Read Model
-
-The model-visible task ledger remains compact and omits `resumeTrust`, including
-both the turn-tail injection and `task_list` / `task_get` tool results. Debug,
-export, and trace/read-model surfaces may include task summaries with
-`resumeTrust`, reasons, evidence, and refs.
-
-Desktop reads the same `Task[]` projection through `tasks:list`. Store changes
-emit a signal-only `tasks:changed` event; the renderer reloads instead of
-merging event payloads into a second projection. Before crossing IPC, every
-structured Task DTO is sanitized with the same secret and task-tag redaction
-rules used by model-visible text. The chat workspace shows a full-width,
-collapsible, read-only task band with the active hierarchy, short keys, status,
-owner, reason/evidence summary, and three recent terminal tasks. Session
-switches clear the old snapshot and revision guards discard late IPC responses.
-The panel provides loading, empty, error, and retry states, but no workflow
-editing controls.
-
-This interactive task ledger remains separate from:
-
-- Eval experiments, cells, and attempts;
-- Goal state, which owns bounded autonomous continuation;
-- ScheduledTask, which owns scheduled execution;
-- `AgentRun` / `RuntimeEvent`, which own actual runtime and evidence history.

+# SessionTodo Lifecycle
+
+Status: **Current**. The former Session Task Ledger is **Removed**: its module,
+storage, and `workflow_task_ledger_events` table are gone as of workflow schema
+12. SessionTodo is the only Session task surface.
+
+This document answers one question for Runtime, Runtime Host, CLI, and Desktop
+contributors: who owns a Session's current Todo list, and what must happen to
+that list as the Session is read, copied, archived, or removed?
+
+## Mental model
+
+SessionTodo is one small current-state document attached to one Session. It is
+closer to replacing a whiteboard checklist than appending to an audit log.
+`todo_read` returns the whole ordered list; `todo_write` atomically replaces the
+whole ordered list.
+
+For example, this write:
+
+```json
+{
+  "todos": [
+    { "content": "inspect the owner", "status": "completed" },
+    { "content": "run focused tests", "status": "in_progress" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+commits exactly those two items in that order. A later write containing only
+the second item removes the first. There is no item identity, patch operation,
+revision, history, hierarchy, owner, evidence, cursor, or watermark.
+
+`completed` is model-reported progress. It is not proof that a command ran, a
+test passed, or a file changed; AgentRun, RuntimeEvent, tool results, filesystem,
+and git remain the authorities for those facts.
+
+## Authority and data flow
+
+The Runtime Host is the sole interactive authority. Storage owns the durable
+document and migration transaction; Runtime exposes the model tools; CLI and
+Desktop only render Host-owned results.
+
+```text
+model todo_read / todo_write          Desktop read-only panel
+              \                         /
+               Runtime Host SessionTodo coordinator
+                    | admission + Session presence
+                    | commit, then signal-only invalidation
+                    v
+            SQLite SessionTodo current document
+```
+
+`todo_write` is an internal Host tool port rather than a public Client mutation
+operation. Desktop reads through `session.todo.query`. A successful replacement
+commits before the Host publishes a `todo` domain invalidation. Reads and
+first-read initialization are silent because they do not change the effective
+current list.
+
+The stored document is canonical product state. Before model or Desktop
+display, content passes through the shared Unicode sanitization, secret
+redaction, and `<session-todo>` tag-neutralization projection. Display safety
+does not rewrite the stored document.
+
+## Document contract
+
+Each item contains only:
+
+- `content`: non-empty normalized text, at most 200 Unicode code points;
+- `status`: `pending`, `in_progress`, or `completed`.
+
+The document contains at most 200 items and at most 256 KiB of encoded JSON.
+These bounds keep the complete snapshot below the Runtime Host frame budget, so
+the operation needs no paging contract.
+
+An initialized empty list is different from no SessionTodo row. That distinction
+is what makes explicit clearing deterministic.
+
+## First read
+
+The first Host read of an uninitialized Session, through either `todo_read` or
+`session.todo.query`, persists an empty document and returns it. The first
+explicit `todo_write` writes the requested complete list directly.
+
+## Copy and branch semantics
+
+Conversation copy initializes the target Todo inside the Host-owned copy
+lifecycle, before the target Session is published:
+
+- an ordinary branch whose selected cut includes the latest committed turn
+  copies the source's current Todo;
+- a historical cut, before-revision, or side conversation initializes an
+  explicit empty Todo document.
+
+Initialization is one SQLite write transaction. The source's current document
+is read — an uninitialized source reads as empty, without being written — and
+the absent target is inserted in the same transaction. Retrying an identical
+initialization is idempotent; a different or corrupt existing target fails
+closed instead of being overwritten.
+
+The Runtime Host holds the source and target Session admission lanes during the
+copy. A failed copy purges the incomplete target's Todo state before discarding
+the preparing Session.
+
+## Archive, removal, backup, and rollback
+
+- Archive retains the current Todo document.
+- Remove and incomplete-copy discard purge the Todo document, so a deleted
+  Session cannot show stale work if its identifier is observed again.
+- Backup and restore preserve both non-empty and initialized-empty documents.
+
+Rollback across the cutover means restoring a database backup taken before the
+upgrade. That loses Todo edits made after the backup; running an old binary
+directly against the upgraded live database is not a supported rollback
+guarantee.
+
+Upgrading to workflow schema 12 drops `workflow_task_ledger_events` without
+migrating it. A workspace last opened by v0.2.0-incubating-rc1 or earlier loses
+its unfinished Tasks; they are not imported into SessionTodo.
+
+## Surface behavior
+
+CLI/TUI renders the settled semantic `todo_read` or `todo_write` tool result.
+It does not present `todo_write` arguments as committed state, including when a
+durable transcript is reconstructed after restart.
+
+Desktop renders the same current ordered snapshot as a flat read-only list.
+Session and request-generation fences reject late responses after navigation;
+signal-only invalidations trigger a fresh full read rather than client-side
+merging.
+
+No SessionTodo content is appended to a turn-tail prompt or dynamic system
+prompt. The model reads it on demand with `todo_read`.
+
+## Code map
+
+- `packages/core/src/session-todo.ts`: document validation, bounds, and shared
+  display projection.
+- `packages/storage/src/session-todo-store.ts`: SQLite persistence, migration,
+  copy initialization, and purge.
+- `packages/runtime-host/src/server/session-todo-coordinator.ts`: Session
+  admission, presence checks, commit, and invalidation.
+- `packages/runtime/src/session-todo-tools.ts`: model-facing read and
+  whole-document write tools.
+- `packages/runtime-host/src/server/session-revision-coordinator.ts` and
+  `session-retirement-coordinator.ts`: copy and lifecycle integration.
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/runtime-host-client.ts`: Desktop query adapter and
+  display-safe projection.
+
+The legacy Task codecs, replay, and tables are deleted. Nothing may recreate a
+second product surface for Session tasks or change this current-document
+contract.

+# Work Board Phase 1 — capture/list MVP
+
+## Surface
+
+A compact Work Board tab in the session workbar, next to Tasks, with:
+
+- global Inbox and current-project filtering;
+- manual create, rename, move (Inbox <-> project), complete / reopen,
+  archive / restore, and delete (archived items only);
+- empty, loading, and error states;
+- local-first persistence through the existing operational-state database.
+
+## Boundary
+
+- The Desktop main process owns `WorkBoardStore`; the renderer is a read-only
+  IPC projection that reloads on the `workBoard:changed` signal.
+- No Runtime Host involvement, model-visible tools, or automatic prompt injection.
+- `linkedSessions` and the linked-session projection remain deferred to Phase 3.
+
+## Why a dedicated store instead of a project file
+
+A project `TODO.md` / issue would cover the literal capture-and-list atom, but
+the one thing that justifies a store is **provenance + Session linking**:
+side-conversation captures must keep typed source references and a bounded
+excerpt after the temporary fork is deleted, and Phase 3 must link a board item
+to the Session it starts. Typed provenance and stable item identity also let
+concurrent Desktop writers mutate items with revision CAS instead of parsing a
+file. If provenance and Session linking were not in scope, a project file would
+suffice.
+
+## Assumption
+
+We are betting that users will return to the board and start tasks from it.
+Phase 3 must prove this.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+Per maintainer review, the thin capture -> revisit -> start-as-task loop is
+validated **before** Phase 2 (side-chat capture) and Phase 4 (evidence /
+refinement): a minimal, flag-gated Phase 3 spike wires one hard-coded item ->
+"Start task" -> new Session -> link back, with no polish. Only if the loop
+shows real use do we resume Phases 2 and 4.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- Main: `apps/desktop/src/main/work-board-ipc-main.ts`
+  (`workBoard:list/create/update/archive/unarchive/remove` + change signal).
+- Preload: `window.maka.workBoard` in `apps/desktop/src/preload/preload.ts`.
+- Renderer: `useWorkBoard` hook and `WorkBoardPanel`, wired as a workbar tab in
+  `session-workbar.tsx`.

 # WorkHub domain language
 
-WorkHub gives users one conversational place to continue, create, and inspect work while ordinary Sessions remain the product's canonical work records.
+WorkHub gives users one persistent conversational place to ask, clarify, continue,
+create, and inspect work. It is backed by one stable Coordination Session per
+Runtime Host while concrete execution remains authoritative in ordinary Sessions.
+
+This document names the approved target architecture. Each Runtime Host now
+provisions and reuses the stable Coordination Session role described below. The
+current R2.4 routing behavior remains a transitional deterministic baseline or
+target resolver; it does not define the final WorkHub coordination semantics. The
+decision and authority boundaries are recorded in the
+[WorkHub Coordination Session ADR](./architecture/workhub-coordination-session-adr.md).
 
 ## Terms
 
-**Session**: The authoritative record for identity, transcript, execution state, permissions, interactions, and recovery. A Session ID is the stable identity of the work.
+**Session**: The existing transcript, execution-boundary, permission, interaction,
+and recovery substrate. A Session owns only the conversation or execution admitted
+to that Session.
+
+**Coordination Session**: The stable special Session role owned independently by
+each Runtime Host for its WorkHub conversation. It owns WorkHub user messages,
+ordinary Q&A, clarification, coordination decisions, bounded delegation references,
+and coordination summaries, but no ordinary Session execution or lifecycle facts.
+It is not a separate database, event store, transcript substrate, or lifecycle
+authority. It is hidden from the ordinary Session list and excluded from every
+routing-candidate set, so it never routes to itself. Cross-Host coordination is not
+supported in the first milestone.
+
+**ordinary Session**: A Session that owns concrete work execution, including its
+project/filesystem scope, model and permissions, root-Turn admission, tools,
+artifacts, recovery, lifecycle, and authoritative execution transcript.
+
+**Work**: User-facing continuity around a goal. Whether Work is 1:1 with Session,
+1:N over Sessions, or an independent durable entity is deliberately unresolved.
+
+**WorkHub**: The unified conversational entry and coordination surface backed by
+the active Runtime Host's Coordination Session. It may answer locally, clarify,
+delegate to an existing ordinary Session, or create a new ordinary Session.
+
+**projection**: A rebuildable, read-only view derived from Coordination Session and
+ordinary Session facts. WorkHub cards, filters, status summaries, and navigation
+aids are projections; they own no durable facts and can be discarded without losing
+work.
+
+**disposition**: The single proposed coordination outcome for one WorkHub input:
+`answer_here` answers in the Coordination Session; `delegate_existing` targets one
+bounded, valid ordinary Session; `create_new` creates an ordinary Session before
+delegating and is visibly announced as new work; and `clarify` continues in the
+Coordination Session without guessing or creating.
 
-**Work**: The user-facing continuity of exactly one ordinary Session. “Work” is a product-language view of a Session, not a second stored record.
+**delegation**: A bounded reference from a Coordination Turn to one target ordinary
+Session and Turn, including only its identity, disposition, and coordination-owned
+link status (`active`, `superseded`, or `aborted`). A link is `aborted` only when a
+correction retired its source but the replacement target became unavailable or
+started waiting before admission; it is not the target Turn's execution status.
+Delegation links the separately authoritative transcripts; it does not copy the
+target's complete execution transcript into WorkHub. Target acceptance, running,
+waiting, completion, failure, abort, and recovery state remain ordinary Session
+facts and appear in WorkHub only as read-only projections.
 
-**WorkHub**: A projection and routing surface over ordinary Sessions. It may keep transient inference context while mounted, but it does not own a transcript or execution state.
+**Action Gate**: The deterministic Runtime boundary that validates a proposed
+disposition and operation before any write, including target/Host validity,
+archive and waiting state, self-routing, explicit creation, expected-Turn Stop
+ownership, confirmation, tools, and permissions. All model and routing output is
+advisory and cannot authorize a write. An initial `create_new` requires affirmative,
+executable trusted user text; a corrective `create_new` additionally requires an
+explicit new-Session clause. Negated or withdrawn creation intent is rejected in
+both cases.
 
-**Session projection**: A rebuildable view derived from Session facts for display and routing. It can be discarded and recreated without losing work.
+**Route correction**: A user's explicit decision that an input belongs to a
+different existing or newly created Session. R2.4 retains only bounded inference
+memory for target resolution; destructive confirmation must also be evidenced by
+an affirmative target action in the trusted user text; negated or withdrawn target
+actions fail closed and cannot come from routing output alone. The Coordination
+Session durably claims one replacement intent per source delegation in transcript
+order. It delegates exact pending-Message cancellation or owning-Turn Stop to the
+target Session, then atomically records the replacement link and supersession.
+Only a root Turn created by the delegated Message may be stopped; consuming the
+Message as steering does not give WorkHub ownership of the surrounding user Turn.
+When recovery folds multiple source Messages into one successor Turn, every source
+shares that Turn and no individual delegation owns Stop authority over it.
+Replacement replay is bound to the resolved stable target Session identity. If
+that target becomes unavailable, waits for user input, or corrective creation
+cannot be admitted after source retirement,
+the Coordination transcript records an auditable replacement-aborted terminal
+fact and removes the retired source from active linkage.
+Correction never replaces either Session's transcript authority.
 
-**Route correction**: A user's decision that an input belongs to a different existing Session. It may influence later transient routing, but it does not become an authority for Session content or state.
+**R2.4**: The deterministic context-continuity routing baseline. It remains useful
+as an experiment baseline or target resolver behind WorkHub's coordination layer;
+it is not the final architecture or authority boundary of WorkHub.
 
-_Avoid_: independent Work records, copied transcripts, or a second writable WorkHub state store.
+_Avoid_: copied execution transcripts, self-routing, a second Session/WorkHub
+storage substrate, or treating model/routing output as execution authority.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+
+      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
+      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
+      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include

+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work

+   or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+   the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+   means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+   Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+   excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+

+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,

+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A

+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,

+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,

+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work

+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+

+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only

+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.

+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but

+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+   exercising permissions granted by this License.

+   "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+   including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+   source, and configuration files.
+
+   "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+   transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+   to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally

+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+   the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+   "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+   other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+   control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+   "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+   direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+   otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+   outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+   "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+   exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+   "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+   including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+   source, and configuration files.
+
+   "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+   transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+   to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+   submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+   or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+   the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+   means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+   Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+   excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+   source, and configuration files.
+
+   "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+   transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+

+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+   source, and configuration files.
+
+   "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+   transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+   to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+   submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+   or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+   the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+   means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+   Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+   excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
+COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
+COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
+AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
+
+BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE
+TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY
+BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS
+CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
+CONDITIONS.
+
+1. Definitions
+
+ a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and
+    other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation,
+    derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a
+    literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes
+    cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be
+    recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably
+    derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a
+    Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of
+    this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
+    work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in
+    timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an
+    Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
+ b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
+    encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or
+    broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed
+    in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and
+    arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in
+    which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along
+    with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
+    independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a
+    collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
+    considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this
+    License.
+ c. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and
+    copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or
+    other transfer of ownership.
+ d. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that
+    offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
+ e. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work,
+    the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work
+    or if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in
+    addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers,
+    musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim,
+    play in, interpret or otherwise perform literary or artistic works or
+    expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer
+    being the person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a
+    performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the
+    organization that transmits the broadcast.
+ f. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms
+    of this License including without limitation any production in the
+    literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or
+    form of its expression including digital form, such as a book,
+    pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work
+    of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a
+    choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical
+    composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are
+    assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography;
+    a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
+    lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works
+    expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of applied
+    art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional work
+    relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a
+    performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the
+    extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by
+    a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise
+    considered a literary or artistic work.
+ g. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
+    License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
+    respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
+    Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
+    violation.
+ h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and
+    to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or
+    process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital
+    performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that
+    members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a
+    place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public
+    by any means or process and the communication to the public of the
+    performances of the Work, including by public digital performance; to
+    broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs,
+    sounds or images.
+ i. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
+    without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of
+    fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a
+    protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic
+    medium.
+
+2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce,
+limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from
+limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the
+copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
+
+3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
+Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
+perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
+exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
+
+ a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
+    Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
+    Collections;
+ b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
+    including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to
+    clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made
+    to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The
+    original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
+    modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
+ c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
+    in Collections; and,
+ d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
+ e. For the avoidance of doubt:
+
+     i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
+        which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+        compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor
+        reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any
+        exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
+    ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
+        which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+        compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the
+        exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You
+        of the rights granted under this License; and,
+   iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to
+        collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the
+        Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers
+        voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise
+        by You of the rights granted under this License.
+
+The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
+known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
+such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in
+other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly
+granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
+
+4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
+subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
+
+ a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
+    of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
+    Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
+    Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
+    on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of
+    the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that
+    recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the
+    Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and
+    to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
+    Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly
+    Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
+    measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the
+    Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under
+    the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as
+    incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection
+    apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
+    License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
+    must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit
+    as required by Section 4(b), as requested. If You create an
+    Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
+    practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by
+    Section 4(b), as requested.
+ b. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
+    Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
+    Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
+    provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
+    name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
+    and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party
+    or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
+    attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
+    terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party
+    or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the
+    extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
+    specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
+    refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
+    and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation,
+    a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g.,
+    "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay
+    based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by
+    this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner;
+    provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at
+    a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing
+    authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these
+    credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the
+    other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only
+    use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution
+    in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this
+    License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any
+    connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
+    Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your
+    use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written
+    permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution
+    Parties.
+ c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
+    otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
+    Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any
+    Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or
+    take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be
+    prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor
+    agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise
+    of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to
+    make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
+    modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original
+    Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert,
+    as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the
+    applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your
+    right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations)
+    but not otherwise.
+
+5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
+
+UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
+OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
+KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
+INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY,
+FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
+LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
+WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
+OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
+LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR
+ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
+ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS
+BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. Termination
+
+ a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
+    automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
+    Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
+    from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
+    terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
+    compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
+    survive any termination of this License.
+ b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
+    perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
+    Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
+    Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
+    any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
+    withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
+    required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
+    License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
+    stated above.
+
+8. Miscellaneous
+
+ a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
+    the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
+    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
+ b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
+    offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
+    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
+ c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
+    applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
+    the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
+    by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
+    the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
+    enforceable.
+ d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
+    breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
+    and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
+ e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
+    respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
+    agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
+    here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that
+    may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be
+    modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
+ f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
+    License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
+    for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
+    September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
+    Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996
+    and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971).
+    These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant
+    jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced
+    according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
+    those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the
+    standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
+    includes additional rights not granted under this License, such
+    additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this
+    License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under
+    applicable law.

+
+   "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+   transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+   not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+   and conversions to other media types.
+
+   "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+   Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+   copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+   (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+   "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+   form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+   editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+   represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+   of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+   separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+   the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+   "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+   the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+   to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally

+   to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+   communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+   and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the

+   designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+   "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+   on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+   subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+   publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+   Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+   this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+   worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+   (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+   use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+   where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+   by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+   Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+   with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+   institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+   or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+   or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+   granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+   as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+   Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+   modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+   meet the following conditions:
+
+   (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+       Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+   (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+       stating that You changed the files; and
+
+   (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+       that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+       attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+       excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+       the Derivative Works; and
+
+   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+       within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+       wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+       of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+       do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+       notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+       or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+       that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+       as modifying the License.
+
+   You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+   may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+   for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+   for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+   reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+   the conditions stated in this License.
+
+5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+   any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+   by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+   this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+   Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+   the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+   with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+   names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+   except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+   origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+   agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+   Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+   implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+   of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+   PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+   appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+   risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+   whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+   unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+   negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+   liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+   incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+   result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+   Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+   work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+   other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+   has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+   the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+   and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+   or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+   License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+   on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+   of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+

+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+/**
+ * OSC 52 clipboard writes for the terminal TUI.
+ *
+ * OSC 52 asks the *terminal emulator* to set the system clipboard, so it works
+ * across SSH (the sequence rides the same stream as the rendered UI) and needs
+ * no `pbcopy`/`xclip`/`wl-copy` binary. The trade-off is that the write is
+ * fire-and-forget: the protocol has no acknowledgement, so we cannot tell
+ * whether the terminal honoured it, ignored it (e.g. macOS Terminal.app), or
+ * silently dropped it.
+ *
+ * Payload size is the sharp edge. Past a terminal's OSC-string buffer the
+ * sequence is not parsed to completion, so the clipboard is never set to the
+ * intended text: kitty logs `OSC sequence too long, truncating` and drops the
+ * write, st (pre-0.8.3) returns once its buffer fills. Nothing is echoed to the
+ * screen, so the failure is silent. Those buffers vary widely (kitty ~8 KB,
+ * Tabby ~1 KB, xterm ~1 MB) and are undetectable from here. We do two things
+ * about it: refuse above {@link MAX_CLIPBOARD_TEXT_BYTES}, sized so the emitted
+ * sequence clears the ~8 KB buffer of mainstream terminals like kitty and an
+ * oversized `/copy all` fails on a readable error rather than a silent drop;
+ * and — because a terminal with a smaller buffer (e.g. Tabby) can still drop a
+ * below-limit write — word the confirmation as best-effort rather than a promise
+ * of success (see `tui-copy-catalog.ts`).
+ *
+ * Under tmux the bare sequence is still the right primitive to emit, but note
+ * it does not land on a default tmux: `set-clipboard` has defaulted to
+ * `external` since tmux 2.6, which *ignores* an application's attempt to set a
+ * tmux buffer, so forwarding needs `set-clipboard on`. Forwarding also requires
+ * an `Ms` capability in the outer terminfo, which nested tmux and the inner side
+ * of GNU screen lack (screen itself only recognises OSC 52 wrapped in DCS).
+ * Wrapping in tmux's DCS passthrough is deliberately avoided anyway: it needs
+ * `allow-passthrough on` (off by default in modern tmux) and bypasses tmux's own
+ * clipboard handling, so it would drop the copy on a default configuration too.
+ */

+/**
+ * Upper bound on the source text of a single OSC 52 write, in UTF-8 bytes. Its
+ * base64 encoding (~4/3) plus the 8-byte `ESC ] 52 ; c ; … BEL` framing has to
+ * fit a terminal's OSC-string buffer: at 4 KiB the sequence is ~5.5 KB, under
+ * the ~8 KB buffer terminals like kitty use (kitty drops a ~6.1 KB reply, whose
+ * sequence just tops 8 KB), so an emitted copy lands there. Larger content is
+ * refused rather than emitted and silently truncated; the residual variance
+ * below this (e.g. Tabby ~1 KB) is what keeps the confirmation best-effort.

+# `@maka/computer-use`
+
+`@maka/computer-use` adapts Maka's Runtime-owned Computer Use contracts to the
+native `maka-cu` executor. It owns backend selection, the executor process and
+protocol lifecycle, host-side result decoding, display snapshot mapping, and
+the cursor-overlay hook. Runtime owns the model-facing tools and session state;
+Desktop supplies the executable and presentation dependencies.
+
+## Public seam
+
+The package exposes one root entry point through `src/index.ts`:
+
+- `selectComputerUseBackend()` selects the available executor and builds the
+  Runtime tool set. `CU_BACKEND_IDS` currently contains only `maka-cu`.
+- `createMakaCuBackend()` adapts the native executor to Runtime's
+  `CuDispatchBackend` contract.
+- `MakaCuService` supervises the executor process and owns the JSON-RPC request,
+  cancellation, restart, and generation lifecycle.
+- The `maka-cu-protocol` exports decode and validate `maka.cu/2` envelopes,
+  snapshots, dispatch results, domain errors, and key chords.
+- `resolveCuaDisplaySnapshots()` maps executor screenshots to Electron display
+  coordinates without guessing when the display geometry is ambiguous.
+- `createComputerUseOverlayHook()` projects action lifecycle events to a
+  presentation-only cursor sink. It does not choose or authorize targets.
+
+Other packages should import these exports from `@maka/computer-use`, not from
+undeclared internal source paths.
+
+## Current platform boundary
+
+The shipped selector enables Computer Use only when all of these conditions
+hold:
+
+1. the host platform is macOS (`process.platform === 'darwin'`);
+2. the composition supplies a `maka-cu` executable path; and
+3. the composition supplies the executable's expected SHA-256 digest.
+
+On another platform, with missing inputs, or when backend construction fails,
+selection fails closed to `backendId: 'none'` with an empty tool set. This
+package does not discover, download, or choose an unpinned executable.
+
+The executable's build, provenance, signing, and distribution status are
+separate release concerns. See
+[`computer-use-provenance.md`](../../docs/computer-use-provenance.md) rather
+than assuming that installing this workspace supplies a runnable binary.
+
+Cross-platform work is tracked separately:
+
+- [#3896](https://github.com/apache/maka/issues/3896) — platform abstraction;
+- [#3891](https://github.com/apache/maka/issues/3891) — Linux backend;
+- [#3785](https://github.com/apache/maka/issues/3785) — Windows executor
+  hardening and production evidence.
+
+## Protocol and lifecycle
+
+The host and executor communicate over line-delimited JSON-RPC using the
+versioned `maka.cu/2` protocol. `MakaCuService` verifies that the executable is
+usable and checks any configured digest before spawning it, completes a
+`host.hello` handshake, and exposes the executor version, capabilities, limits,
+and process generation. The product selector always supplies the required
+digest.
+
+Lifecycle and protocol failures remain distinct:
+
+- `MakaCuLifecycleError` reports unavailable, mismatched, aborted, or
+  outcome-unknown process states;
+- `MakaCuRpcError` reports a JSON-RPC error response for one method; and
+- `MakaCuProtocolViolation` reports malformed or contradictory wire data.
+
+An executor exit releases affected sessions and invalidates their observations.
+Requests that may have reached the executor surface as outcome-unknown rather
+than being replayed automatically. Runtime must re-observe before another
+action.
+
+## Ownership rules
+
+- Keep provider-neutral Computer Use types and model-facing contracts in
+  `@maka/core` and `@maka/runtime`.
+- Keep native executor transport, decoding, and lifecycle handling in this
+  package.
+- Keep Electron windows, screen-lock integration, binary provisioning, and
+  product status UI in `apps/desktop`.
+- Add a second backend only after it has a real adapter and platform evidence;
+  do not widen `CU_BACKEND_IDS` with a placeholder.
+- Preserve fail-closed selection and snapshot-bound dispatch. Missing or stale
+  authority must not fall back to global pointer or foreground input.
+
+The cross-layer safety and evidence rules live in the
+[`Computer Use foundation contract`](../../docs/computer-use-foundation-contract.md)
+and [`host events contract`](../../docs/computer-use-host-events-contract.md).
+
+## Verification
+
+Install dependencies once at the repository root, then run:
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+npm --workspace @maka/computer-use run test:dist
+npm --workspace @maka/computer-use run typecheck
+```
+
+The package tests cover protocol decoding, process lifecycle, backend behavior,
+host-event propagation, display mapping, overlay projection, and the cumulative
+Computer Use path.

  *
- * `modelSource` records provenance: `'fallback'` for the array a connection was
- * seeded with, `'fetched'` once a discovery run replaced it. For a provider
- * whose `modelDiscovery.kind` is `'fallback'` that run replays the array this
- * build shipped, so `'fetched'` is accurate and still describes a snapshot. The
- * predicate for "a provider enumerated this account" is therefore a
- * conjunction, and this is the only place it lives:
+ *   1. the connection is enabled and its provider is one this build registers;
+ *   2. the user enabled this model on it;
+ *   3. the Host's entry says the connection can hold a chat on it.
  *
- *   - `live` — a provider with a model-list endpoint enumerated this account.
- *     A model missing from it is one this provider did not mention, which is
- *     worth telling the user.
- *   - `snapshot` — the array this build shipped, either as the seed a
- *     connection was created with or replayed by a `kind: 'fallback'`
- *     provider's discovery run. It describes the provider at release, not the
- *     account, so absence from it means nothing at all (#1584).
- *   - `absent` — no catalog, and none asked for. A connection can be created
- *     and used before its first discovery run (#2896).
+ * (3) already subsumes what clients used to re-derive locally: a retired
+ * provider, a quarantined `brokenModelIds` id, and a model whose metadata says
+ * it cannot chat are all non-offerable before a client sees them. A client
+ * re-testing any of those against its OWN registry answers for a build that is
+ * not the one running the send.
  *
- * The split is by authority, not by how full the array is: "the provider
- * listed nothing" and "nobody has asked yet" are opposite facts, and an empty
- * array alone cannot tell them apart. `modelSource` can — the codec keeps it
- * present exactly when a run has written this row.
+ * A saved selection that is no longer offered is deliberately absent rather
+ * than filtered late: callers that must keep the current value visible append
+ * it themselves with an "unavailable" label, which says the true thing.
+ *
+ * The Codex subscription's servable set needs no filter here either: the Host
+ * resolved these entries through `normalizeOpenAiCodexConnection`, so an id
+ * that subscription cannot serve never became an entry to intersect with.

+ * Durable model-projection transitions (#4283).
+ *
+ * A successful model-visible history is append-only. Any lossy change to
+ * already-visible history — pruning a large Tool Result, omitting an image a
+ * provider rejected — must first become a durable successor in the append-only
+ * operational AgentRunEvent ledger, so no later replay, compaction, branch, or
+ * restart can restore the replaced form.
+ *
+ * This module owns the one typed record that expresses such a change. It is
+ * sparse — it names one projection part of one RuntimeEvent — and so is not a
+ * generalization of the contiguous-prefix `HistoryCompactCheckpoint` (#4283).
+ *
+ * Everything a deterministic reduction needs is on the record:
+ *
+ * - `target` — which RuntimeEvent projection part is replaced;
+ * - `sourceProjectionDigest` — the exact projection it is allowed to replace,
+ *   so a stale concurrent writer cannot apply against content it never saw;
+ * - `replacement` — what the model sees instead, including where the replaced
+ *   body still lives when it is recoverable at all;
+ * - `previousTransitionId` — the predecessor for this target, which is also the
+ *   reduction's ordering authority: readers follow the chain rather than a
+ *   cursor, so ledger order and wall-clock skew cannot change the result.

  * This is the shared compatibility projection used by Desktop onboarding and
  * the renderer session-health notice above the composer. Runtime Host owns the
  * authoritative submission and execution path; this projection only explains
- * whether that target looks usable or whether an empty legacy session has a
- * compatible fallback for presentation and readiness checks.
+ * whether that exact target looks usable for presentation and readiness checks.
  *
  * The compatibility rules are:
  *   1. The session's own connection must pass `isConnectionReady` with
  *      the sticky session model.
- *   2. A locked session (has user messages) can never select a fallback — any
- *      failure of its own connection projects as blocked.
- *   3. An unlocked session may select a fallback only for reasons in
- *      `shouldRebindSessionToDefault`; the walk tries the default
- *      connection first, then every other persisted connection.
- *   4. Otherwise the compatibility projection is blocked.
+ *   2. Legacy Sessions without an immutable connection id are blocked until
+ *      the user explicitly selects an account.
+ *   3. A missing id, slug mismatch, or unusable exact connection is blocked.
  *
  * `lastTestStatus` deliberately plays no part here (E4): telemetry about
  * a past credential test must not gate send, so it must not gate the
  * notice's "send will fail" answer either.

-/**
- * Safe-render the task ledger for any face that persists into history or is
- * re-injected into a prompt (tool results, turn-tail fragment). Two invariants:
- *   - the canonical id is rendered verbatim, and the subject is a safe
- *     (redacted, tag-stripped) rendered payload of what the store holds; and
- *   - the model can unambiguously recover each task's id from what it sees, so
- *     a later task_update hits the right task.
- *
- * Rendering is per-task and fielded, not a free-text bullet: each line is
- * `id=<id> status=<status> subject=<JSON-stringified safe subject>`. The
- * canonical id is a distinct leading field, so a subject cannot smuggle a fake
- * `id=` field or any other id-like span past it -- any id-like text in the subject stays
- * inside the quoted JSON payload. The id is emitted verbatim: it is a
- * redaction-stable stable token validated on write and read, so scrubbing it
- * could only deform it (and break task_update); it must not be redacted or
- * tag-stripped. Each subject is redacted (secrets) and tag-stripped (complete
- * `<task-ledger ...>` / `</task-ledger ...>` tags on a single line, so a
- * model-authored subject cannot open or close the <task-ledger> data envelope)
- * independently -- a subject on one task can never eat or deform text on
- * another task's line. Other angle brackets (e.g. `a < b`) are left intact.
- * Returns '' for an empty ledger.

+## Architecture
+
 An Experiment combines one benchmark, one executor, all subjects, all tasks, a repetition count, one shared budget, one verifier, and a frozen task-group concurrency limit. Cells are the Cartesian product `task × repetition × subject`. All subject arms in one task repetition start together; independent task groups run up to the declared limit. A repetition is a new experimental sample; an infrastructure retry appends a replacement attempt to the same cell; continuation remains internal to Runtime Host. Each subject declares only the credential environment names its cells receive.
 
-Run a fully expanded spec through the public CLI:
+The experiment directory contains the frozen `experiment.json` and append-only attempt records. There is no second mutable results file. A leftover `.writer.lock` means the previous writer did not complete; remove it only after proving that no writer process remains.
+
+The built-in Harbor and Pier executors use one relay Agent. The framework prepares the task environment, the relay invokes exactly one Eval subject from `Agent.run()`, and the framework runs its native verifier and finalizer. Harbor and Pier use separate, explicitly versioned Python environments because their Agent and task contracts differ.
+
+Maka subjects ask the Runtime Host client to run one owned execution in a dedicated Host root. Session, Turn, Goal and continuation semantics remain inside Runtime Host. External subjects declare a command and arguments, and may add non-secret environment values, target-to-source bindings for declared credentials, and an explicit result contract. Omitted credential bindings use declared names unchanged. The generic `exit-code` contract discards unstructured stdout and records null usage and cost. The structured `protocol-v1` contract is restricted to the bundled external wrapper so the shared relay can separate a bounded result frame from Harbor/Pier's merged process output; cohort-specific wrappers do not gain Runtime authority.
+
+The result kernel contains only score, normalized usage, attributable cost, duration, status, and artifacts. Specs carry every semantic setting; environment variables are reserved for credentials and machine-local paths.
+
+## Experiment spec format
+
+A spec decodes to the `ExperimentSpec` interface ([`experiment.ts:46-70`](src/experiment.ts)), validated field-by-field by `parseExperimentSpec` ([`spec.ts:22`](src/spec.ts)) — there is no external JSON-schema dependency; the decoder is hand-written and strict (unrecognized top-level keys are rejected).
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `schemaVersion` | `'maka.eval.v1'` | Must match exactly; any other value throws `unsupported experiment schema`. |
+| `id` | `string` | Experiment identifier. |
+| `benchmark` | `{ id, version, config }` | `config` is an arbitrary JSON object. |
+| `executor` | `{ kind, config }` | `kind` selects the executor (e.g. `harbor`, `pier`); see [Running an evaluation](#running-an-evaluation). |
+| `execution` | `{ maxConcurrentTaskGroups }` | Optional; defaults to `{ maxConcurrentTaskGroups: 1 }` when omitted. |
+| `subjects` | `{ id, kind, credentials, config }[]` | `kind` is `'maka'` or `'external'`. At least one subject is required. |
+| `tasks` | `{ id, input, config }[]` | At least one task is required. |
+| `repetitions` | `number` | Positive integer sample count per cell. |
+| `budget` | `JsonObject` | Arbitrary JSON, interpreted by the executor/benchmark. |
+| `verifier` | `JsonObject` | Arbitrary JSON, interpreted by the benchmark's verifier. |
+
+The parsed spec is deep-frozen ([`spec.ts:71,146-152`](src/spec.ts)). `expandExperiment(spec)` ([`experiment.ts:84-101`](src/experiment.ts)) then produces the Cartesian product of cells, each identified as `${task.id}::${repetition}::${subject.id}`.
+
+The checked-in Terminal-Bench 2.1 four-arm cohort is `experiments/terminal-bench-2.1-deepseek-v4-flash-four-arm.json`. It freezes provider endpoints, framework version, container paths and read-only mount policy. Set each declared machine-path environment variable to its trusted prepared directory, and set the declared API-key credentials. Machine-local paths select artifacts; they do not alter experiment semantics and are not presented as a cryptographic identity scheme.
+
+## Running an evaluation
+
+`maka eval` is a subcommand of the main `maka` CLI (see [`packages/cli/src/cli-core.ts`](../cli/src/cli-core.ts)) — it is not a separate binary. Run a fully expanded spec through the public CLI:

 Before starting a trial, the public CLI validates the selected executor's machine paths, bundled relay files, pinned Harbor or Pier Python distribution, and Docker daemon availability for Docker environments. A missing or mismatched prerequisite is reported with the configured environment-variable name and expected framework version; the CLI does not start a trial or install external software. Subject-specific toolchain verification remains part of subject preparation and also completes before any trial starts.

Harbor and Pier use separate, explicitly versioned Python environments because their Agent and task contracts differ.
+## Extending: custom executors and subjects
+
+An executor decides how one attempt runs; a subject decides how one cell's agent is invoked. Both are pluggable interfaces defined in [`runner.ts:74-130`](src/runner.ts):
+
+```ts
+export interface SubjectAdapter {
+  readonly kind: ExperimentCell['subject']['kind'];
+  validate?(cell: ExperimentCell): void;
+  prepare?(input: { readonly spec: ExperimentSpec; readonly cells: readonly ExperimentCell[] }): Promise<void>;
+  canReuse?(input: { readonly cell: ExperimentCell; readonly attempt: CellAttempt }): boolean;
+  execute(input: { readonly cell: ExperimentCell; readonly context: SubjectExecutionContext }): Promise<SubjectExecutionResult>;
+}
+

+  readonly kind: string;
+  validate?(cell: ExperimentCell): void;
+  runAttempt(
+    input: { readonly cell: ExperimentCell; readonly subjectCredentialNames: readonly string[]; readonly signal?: AbortSignal },
+    operation: (attempt: { readonly context: SubjectExecutionContext; verify(): Promise<ExecutorVerification> }) => Promise<EvalResult>,
+  ): Promise<ExecutorAttemptOutcome>;
+}
+```
 
-Maka subjects ask the Runtime Host client to run one owned execution in a dedicated Host root. Session, Turn, Goal and continuation semantics remain inside Runtime Host. External subjects declare a command and arguments, and may add non-secret environment values, target-to-source bindings for declared credentials, and an explicit result contract. Omitted credential bindings use declared names unchanged. The generic `exit-code` contract discards unstructured stdout and records null usage and cost. The structured `protocol-v1` contract is restricted to the bundled external wrapper so the shared relay can separate a bounded result frame from Harbor/Pier's merged process output; cohort-specific wrappers do not gain Runtime authority.
+The built-in Harbor and Pier executors are two instantiations of one generic implementation (`createHarborExecutor`/`createPierExecutor`, both delegating to `createHarnessExecutor(framework, config, specPath)` in [`harness-executor.ts:108-121`](src/harness-executor.ts)), parameterized by `HarnessFramework`. The built-in subjects are `createMakaSubjectAdapter()` ([`maka-subject.ts`](src/maka-subject.ts)) and `createExternalSubjectAdapter()` ([`external-subject.ts`](src/external-subject.ts)).
 
-The result kernel contains only score, normalized usage, attributable cost, duration, status, and artifacts. Specs carry every semantic setting; environment variables are reserved for credentials and machine-local paths.
+To swap in a custom executor or subject set, pass overrides to `runMakaEvalCli` ([`cli.ts:36-42`](src/cli.ts)) rather than the CLI's default wiring:

+  readonly stderr: (text: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+Any object implementing `runAttempt`/`validate` (executor) or `execute`/`validate`/`prepare`/`canReuse` (subject) can be supplied this way — `prepare`, `canReuse`, and `validate` are all optional.
+
+## Relay protocol
+
+Harbor/Pier subprocess stdout is merged Docker stdout/stderr that can interleave, so a structured result cannot simply be parsed from the tail of the output. `writeRelayResult` ([`relay-result-frame.ts:24,34-43`](src/relay-result-frame.ts)) emits one line — `MAKA-EVAL-RESULT-V1 <token> <bytes> <sha256> <base64url payload>` — whose JSON payload is capped at 2 KiB and whose complete line stays below Linux `PIPE_BUF`, so the executor can extract a verified, size-capped result frame out of otherwise-unstructured merged output. `takeRelayResultToken` consumes a one-time environment-variable token (`MAKA_EVAL_RESULT_TOKEN`) so the frame can be authenticated per-attempt.
 
 The single-arm DeepSeek Harness cohort is `experiments/terminal-bench-2.1-deepseek-v4-flash-deepseek-harness.json`. The harness ships no benchmark runner: its `BENCHMARK.md` names the checked-in `examples/jsonrpc-agent` minimal composition and asks for one workspace and session id per task. `harbor/deepseek-harness-profile/` is that composition, carried as a complete harness profile whose manifest declares no bundles. Because the tree is composed over an empty entry list, every entry the model can observe is named in one file, an upstream bundle gaining a plugin cannot widen this arm's tool surface, and a missing service is a boot failure rather than a silent downgrade. The composition was validated against upstream request-for-request: identical tool names, byte-identical tool schemas, byte-identical system prompt, identical message sequence. The one deviation, recorded in the file, is that reasoning is pinned to max because the adapter default resolves to `reasoning_effort=high` on the wire.
 
-Build that arm's toolchain with `node scripts/prepare-deepseek-harness-toolchain.mjs --out <dir> --write`. It runs inside a pinned `linux/amd64` container because the composition depends on `node-pty`, which publishes no Linux prebuild, and it copies that container's Node into the toolchain so the executed path resolves inside the mounted root. Dependencies are installed with `npm ci` from the reviewed lockfile in `harbor/deepseek-harness-toolchain/`, so a harness version does not silently mean two different trees. The recorded fingerprint is the digest of `checksums.sha256`, which lists every regular file the build put in the tree, and verification recomputes that digest from the manifest on disk rather than reading the value the tree reports for itself. The constant in `src/toolchain-verification.ts` therefore pins the manifest, and the manifest pins the content of every file it names. It does not pin the tree's closure: verification walks the manifest rather than the directory, so a file added to a mounted toolchain afterwards is neither named nor refused. That is the existing behaviour of `verifyToolchainDirectory` for all eight arms and belongs to it. Native modules are compiled during the build and need not come out byte-identical on another machine, so a rebuild can still produce a new fingerprint; `--write` re-pins it and verification fails closed until the two agree. `--out` is rebuilt from scratch: it must name a directory, and one that is either empty or a previous build of this toolchain.

 `experiments/terminal-bench-2.1-deepseek-v4-flash-maka-vs-deepseek-harness.json` runs Maka and the harness arm in one task group, so each task starts one container of each at the same moment rather than comparing two runs on two occasions. Two properties of that spec do not follow from the framework and belong to whoever reads its results.

 Single-arm results are not drawn from the same run as the multi-arm cohort. Task groups hold every subject for one task, so each arm adds a container: the eight-arm cohort reaches 128 concurrent trials at its declared limit, and this spec raises its own limit so its 89 cells run under comparable machine load. They remain separate runs on separate occasions, which no setting can change.
 
+The DeepSeek Harness Eval profile also extends its persistent Bash deadline beyond Terminal-Bench's longest native subject timeout, so the benchmark remains the authoritative deadline and a local five-minute tool timeout cannot interrupt `apt` or `dpkg` before verification. Every subject runs with `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` and `TZ=Etc/UTC` in its execution environment, because an interactive package prompt in an unattended container is indistinguishable from a hung command, and that is a property of the container rather than of any one arm.

-The DeepSeek Harness Eval profile also extends its persistent Bash deadline beyond Terminal-Bench's
-longest native subject timeout, so the benchmark remains the authoritative deadline and a local
-five-minute tool timeout cannot interrupt `apt` or `dpkg` before verification. Every subject runs
-with `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` and `TZ=Etc/UTC` in its execution environment, because an
-interactive package prompt in an unattended container is indistinguishable from a hung command, and
-that is a property of the container rather than of any one arm.

-The local image tag remains a machine deployment identity rather than a registry digest; digest

-The experiment directory contains the frozen `experiment.json` and append-only attempt records. There is no second mutable results file. A leftover `.writer.lock` means the previous writer did not complete; remove it only after proving that no writer process remains.
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `machine path <name> is unavailable` at CLI start | A declared machine-path env var points at a directory that doesn't exist or isn't writable/searchable ([`install-preflight.ts:273,279`](src/install-preflight.ts)). | Point the env var at a real, accessible directory before running `maka eval run`. |
+| `<framework> Python environment <env> is unavailable or does not provide <distribution>@<version>` | The pinned Harbor/Pier Python distribution isn't installed at the expected version in the interpreter the env var points to ([`install-preflight.ts:155-157`](src/install-preflight.ts)). | Install/upgrade the framework's Python distribution to the pinned version, or point the env var at an interpreter that already has it. |
+| `Docker CLI or daemon is unavailable: ...` | `docker version` failed — the Docker CLI isn't on PATH or the daemon isn't running ([`install-preflight.ts:172`](src/install-preflight.ts)). Only checked for Docker-based environments. | Start the Docker daemon / install the Docker CLI before running a Docker-environment spec. |
+| HTTP 451 with header `X-Maka-Eval-Egress-Rule: <ruleId>` from inside a subject | The egress proxy blocked a request matching a benchmark/public-solution contamination rule (see [Egress audit and security model](#egress-audit-and-security-model)). | This is intentional — the subject reached a blocked URL. If the block is a false positive against a legitimate dependency, it needs a rule change, not a bypass. |
+| HTTP 503 with header `X-Maka-Eval-Egress-Rule: policy_error` | The egress proxy couldn't classify the request at all. | Check the request against the proxy's supported request shapes; this is a proxy-side gap, not a benchmark contamination hit. |
+| Result status `infra_failed`, reason `egress audit log missing` | The subject's egress audit log wasn't produced for a Harbor cell — this always wins over a subject timeout or a missing verifier reward. | Check that the egress-proxy Compose overlay came up for the cell; this indicates infrastructure, not subject, failure. |
+| Result status `infra_failed`, message matching `failed to read egress audit log ... (EISDIR)` | The audit-log path resolved to a directory instead of a file. | Check the egress-proxy volume mount for the cell — something replaced the expected file path with a directory. |
+| A leftover `.writer.lock` in an experiment directory | A previous `FileAttemptStore` writer did not complete (crash, kill). | Confirm no writer process for that experiment is still running, then remove the lock file — see [Architecture](#architecture). |

+// 92: Owners can query their complete pending Session Turn-request inbox.
+// 91: Host status publishes the live Direct peer endpoint so newly issued
+// connection invitations do not preserve stale startup routes.
+// 90: `session.create.mode` accepts the Bot session mode. A Host that predates
+// it rejects the value as an invalid Session start mode.
+// 89: The Host refreshes its models.dev catalog at startup and announces the
+// swap with a `connection.catalog.changed` frame, which an older client's
+// strict frame decoder rejects as an unknown kind.
+// 88: Catalog model modalities admit video on either side and pdf as output.
+// models.dev declares both, and the modality decoder rejects any value it does
+// not name, so a newer Host describing such a model fails an older client's
+// catalog decode outright rather than losing one field. The handshake keeps
+// that pairing from forming; a newer client simply never sees the new values
+// from an older Host.
+// 87: The connection catalog projects each model as the Host resolved it —
+// a `catalog_entry` item per model, counted by the connection header. Clients
+// render those entries instead of merging the stored row against their own
+// bundled model metadata, so a Desktop and a TUI attached to one Host cannot
+// describe the same model differently. An older client ignores the new items
+// but would still resolve locally; an older Host sends none, leaving a newer
+// client with an empty catalog. Both are rejected at the handshake.
+// 86: Client Capability accepted frames carry typed admission evidence used to
+// enforce Session Grant scopes. Older peers cannot preserve that boundary.
+// 85: Plugin package and Entry composition operations become Host-owned protocol
+// surfaces. Older peers cannot safely exchange these strict operation shapes.
+// 84: Message content carries Host-bound directory references. Older peers
+// reject this field and cannot preserve its identity through admission/replay.
+// 83: WorkHub Coordination actions add linked replacement proposals,
+// destructive user confirmation, and replacement results. Older peers reject
+// these closed action and result shapes.
+// 82: Session removal reports how many linked subtasks it archived, and adds a
+// `session.remove.preview` query for that count before the delete. Older peers
+// reject the extra removed-result field and the unknown operation.
+// 81: SessionTodo replaces the Task Ledger protocol and continuity domain with
+// one bounded current-state snapshot. Older peers cannot decode the operation
+// or preserve the new invalidation vocabulary.
+// 80: Runtime Policy catalog models gained validated user-overridden fact
+// provenance. Older peers reject this projected model shape, so they must be
+// refused during the handshake before catalog admission.
+// 79: Every `turn.message.submit` disposition carries the exact Skill
+// invocation outcome. Durable queued replays may omit the previous Host
+// Epoch's transient queue revision; older strict peers reject either shape.
+// 78: OAuth login targets explicit create/existing Connection entities and
+// returns their canonical identity. Older peers reject both closed wire shapes.
+// 77: LLM and tool usage-log projections carry an optional `sessionTitle` (the
+// Host-resolved session name for the usage Task column). Older Clients reject
+// the unknown field, so a newer Host's usage logs are unreadable to them.
+// 76: Peer Mesh endpoint and Mesh display names are signed, persisted facts
+// managed through Host operations rather than local-only Client labels.
+// 75: Peer Mesh routes identify whether a peer is a Client or Runtime Host so
+// management surfaces can present the endpoint authority boundary accurately.
+// 74: Capability-provider credentials may carry one Host-authenticated owner
+// identity. Older peers cannot preserve the association and could select an
+// unrelated provider for an interactive Session.
+// 73: Transcript pages carry a Host-owned Turn range boundary. Older peers
+// cannot preserve both the complete edge Turn and the bounded projection.
+// 72: Collaboration Turn request query results require `canRequestTurns`.
+// Older peers reject the new closed result shape.
+// 71: Session Guests can submit durable exact Turn access requests and Owners
+// can decide them. Older peers do not understand this execution-authority flow.
+// 70: Session Guest connections receive resource-scoped shared catalog and
+// continuity projections. Older peers cannot enforce the Session grant fence.
+// 69: Runtime Host access authority recognizes restricted Session Guest
+// principals and typed Session collaboration grants. Older Hosts would either
+// reject the new operations or misclassify the authenticated principal.
+// 68: Connection onboarding replaces nullable canonical-slug targeting with
+// explicit create/existing identity and returns the committed Connection.
+// Older peers reject the closed target and saved-result shapes.
+// 67: Message lifecycle queries expose durable execution ownership and
+// cancellation. Older peers cannot decode or provide the closed proof list.
+// 66: Peer Mesh queries expose one canonical transit selection and runtime metrics.
+// 65: live `tool_start` frames may carry optional `intent` / `argsPreview`
+// keys. Older Clients decode the event with a strict allowed-key list and tear
+// the connection down on unknown keys, so the pair must be refused up front.
+// The strict decoder's allowed-key union also retains `shellRunRef`.
+// 64: execution.inspect drops the retired resolve operation. Older peers still
+// know execution.inspect.resolve and would send it only to fail mid-connection,
+// so removing it needs its own handshake boundary.
+// 63: Connection updates accept the full canonical enabled-model limit.
+// Older peers reject valid catalogs containing more than 64 enabled models.
+// 62: A Direct peer listener can expose owner-only Peer Mesh management
+// operations. Older peers do not have this closed operation vocabulary.
+// 61: Session explicit model targets carry immutable Connection identity,
+// configuration updates are Host-merged patches, and projections expose the
+// required nullable binding ID. Older peers cannot preserve these invariants.
+// 60: WorkHub stores a canonical delegation assignment record. Older peers
+// cannot decode this message during transcript recovery.
+// 59: Scheduled Turn provider-retry frames may carry an optional host-clock
+// `ts`, letting a mid-wait re-projection recompute the authoritative
+// remaining duration. Older peers decode the frame with an exact key list
+// and reject the added field, so mixed peers must fail the handshake.
+// 58: `runtime.resource.start` accepts an optional one-shot `command`, and the
+// durable Shell Run record carries a `visibility` field. An epoch-57 Host
+// rejects the widened closed input, while an epoch-57 binary cannot safely
+// interpret the widened durable record.
+// 57: Parked safe-boundary resume plans preserve feature-disabled, missing
+// continuation authority, and unavailable safety-observation reasons.
+// Older peers collapse these causes and can misclassify recovery failures.
+// 56: Failed Turn snapshots preserve the structured context-budget exhaustion
+// detail. Epoch-55 peers reject the optional field on the closed snapshot shape.
+// 55: Local owners can atomically revoke every credential for one access
+// principal, closing pairing-finalize races that credential-by-ID revocation cannot.
+// 54: Client-bound pairing candidates restrict pre-claim authority and bind
+// their durable credential to the claiming Client identity; it is also reserved
+// by concurrent protocol changes in #3390.
+// 53: Message admission answers `turn.message.submit` with an explicit
+// disposition, and queued Messages can be proven cancelled. Older peers read the
+// answer as a bare acknowledgement and cannot reconcile their own projection.
+// 52: Session subscriptions can forward durable steering-message echoes and
+// preserve their identity across queue and transcript projection.
+// Older peers cannot safely de-duplicate the two authoritative paths.
+// 51: WorkHub exposes bounded coordination candidates and admits only typed
+// actions through the deterministic Runtime Host Action Gate.
+// 50: WorkHub can append durable coordination summaries and admit tool-free
+// answers through its reserved Coordination Session authority.
+// 49: WorkHub resolves one durable Coordination Session per Runtime Host.
+// Older peers do not know the operation or the hidden Session role.
+// 48: Session branch creation accepts an explicit Side Conversation intent.
+// Older peers reject the strict input shape or cannot apply its snapshot semantics.
+// 47: Project registration can carry an explicit location preference. Epoch-46
+// hosts reject that optional field on the closed registration input.
 // 46: Queued message content can be edited in place (queue.entry.update).
 // 45: Connection onboarding inputs require `baseUrl` and `connectionId`, and

+ * Current-Turn Tool Result pruning (#4283).
+ *
+ * The decision is still local to one request: which completed step's result is
+ * large enough, and superseded enough, to be worth replacing before the next
+ * provider step. What is no longer local is the RESULT of that decision. Every
+ * replacement is committed as a durable projection transition first, so the
+ * live continuation, the next Turn, a restart, a branch and a compaction all
+ * read the same replaced projection instead of the old per-Turn placeholder map
+ * that only the current `send()` could see.
+ *
+ * A result the durable ledger cannot address — no committed `function_response`
+ * for the tool call yet, or a provider-native opaque result — is left alone. A
+ * lossy rewrite the ledger cannot explain is exactly the state this protocol
+ * exists to make unrepresentable.

-/**
- * AgentFlow — the runtime v2 model/tool loop seam.
- *
- * Architecture: docs/architecture/runtime-core-architecture-draft.md
- *
- * Layering (from the architecture doc):
- *
- *   RuntimeRunner
- *     -> InvocationContext  ← canonical spine from ./invocation-context.ts
- *     -> AgentFlow          ← this module defines the flow interface
- *         -> AiSdkFlow      ← default long-term implementation (./ai-sdk-flow.ts)
- *             -> AI SDK streamText
- *             -> ToolRuntime
- *     -> RuntimeEvent ledger
- *     -> projections
- *
- * A Flow owns the model/tool loop for one invocation. It consumes the
- * canonical InvocationContext + a FlowInput (the user turn) and emits the
- * canonical `RuntimeEvent` stream. The current stepping engine lives inside
- * `AiSdkBackend.send()`; `AiSdkFlow` wraps that backend and normalizes its
- * renderer-facing `SessionEvent` stream into canonical `RuntimeEvent`s
- * without rewriting the stepping logic. That keeps the AI SDK as Maka's
- * first-class long-term flow engine (Phase 4 design intent).
- *
- * Phase 4 scope (this node): interface + adapter/wrapper + mapping helpers
- * + tests. It does NOT migrate SessionManager onto the runner, does NOT
- * rewrite `AiSdkBackend.send()`, and does NOT change current renderer
- * behavior. The seam exists so future work can move from
- * `SessionManager -> AgentRun -> AiSdkBackend` to
- * `RuntimeRunner -> AiSdkFlow` without a flag day.

+ * The Session-scoped reducer over durable model-projection transitions (#4283).

+ * One authority, one direction: the append-only operational AgentRunEvent
+ * ledger holds the transitions, this module folds them onto the canonical
+ * RuntimeEvent stream, and every consumer of model-facing history — the live
+ * continuation, the next Turn, a cold restart, rolling compaction, a branch —
+ * reads the result of that fold rather than the raw events.
+ *
+ * Two rules make the fold deterministic regardless of who wrote what when:
+ *
+ * 1. Source-digest validation. A transition may only replace the exact
+ *    projection it names. A writer that decided against a projection some other
+ *    writer has already replaced is stale, and its record is inert forever —
+ *    not applied later, not applied on another machine, not applied after a
+ *    restart. This is what stops replaced content from coming back.
+ * 2. Predecessor chaining. Within one target, a transition applies only when
+ *    the transition it names as predecessor is the one currently in effect. The
+ *    chain is also the fold's ordering authority: successors are followed, never
+ *    sorted, so ledger order, arrival order, run order and clock skew cannot
+ *    disagree about the result.

-/**
- * RuntimeRunner — Runtime v2 invocation shell.
- *
- * Architecture: docs/architecture/runtime-core-architecture-draft.md
- *
- * RuntimeRunner is the invocation shell. It remains decoupled from
- * SessionManager / SessionStore so it can be exercised with fake services,
- * while still being able to wrap production AgentRun streams during the
- * Runtime v2 migration.
- *
- * Responsibilities (per the node spec):
- *   1. Run an injectable preflight gate.
- *   2. Create the InvocationContext through injected id/time providers.
- *   3. Emit (collect) the initial user RuntimeEvent for normal invocations;
- *      safe-boundary continuations reuse committed history without one.
- *   4. Dispatch to an injected AgentFlow and collect canonical RuntimeEvents.
- *   5. Return a structured result with the newly collected events and a terminal
- *      status.
- *
- * Out-of-scope (deliberately): direct SessionStore writes, projection
- * driving, operational AgentRunStore writes, and RuntimeEventStore ledger
- * writes. Those remain owned by the runtime orchestration around AgentRun while
- * SessionManager delegates invocation execution through this shell.

+
+In the Windows AppContainer preview, local-path `Read`, `Glob`, existing-target `Write`, `Edit`, `FormatJson`, and `apply_patch` update operations run through the filesystem worker. `Grep` fails closed with `grep_unavailable`. Missing-target `Write` and `apply_patch` create/delete operations also fail closed because the current broker policy cannot represent exact parent-entry write authority without widening the kernel grant.
+
+`ask` starts with the managed `workspace-write` profile and `explore` starts with a managed read-only profile. Both profiles require a platform sandbox because their filesystem or network policy is restricted. `workspace-write` permits writes to the workspace roots, `:tmpdir`, and `:slash_tmp`; it is not a workspace-only profile.
+
+A bypass boundary, unrestricted managed profiles, and disabled profiles do not request a Maka-managed local sandbox. When the filesystem worker is wired, managed execution can still use that worker as its backend while `SandboxManager` selects `none`; this is process separation, not OS sandbox enforcement. A bypass boundary uses the host-local executor, while an external boundary delegates filesystem isolation to its injected workspace executor and does not stack a local platform sandbox. Tool availability and permission policy still apply when sandboxing is not required; selecting `none` is not itself permission to execute.

 ## Boundaries
 
 - The session `ExecutionBoundary` is the authority for whether an operation is currently inside the sandbox boundary. Sandbox selection does not expand that boundary.

 /**
- * AiSdkFlow — the default long-term AgentFlow implementation.
+ * Deterministic SessionEvent -> RuntimeEvent mapping.
  *
- * Architecture: docs/architecture/runtime-core-architecture-draft.md
- *
- * Design intent (preserved by this node):
- *   - The AI SDK remains Maka's first-class long-term flow engine. This
- *     flow is the formal seam around the existing stepping engine, NOT a
- *     replacement for it.
- *   - The current model/tool loop lives inside `AiSdkBackend.send()`. This
- *     flow does NOT reimplement streaming. It wraps an `AgentBackend` (the
- *     production instance is `AiSdkBackend`) and normalizes its
- *     renderer-facing `SessionEvent` stream into canonical `RuntimeEvent`s.
- *   - This keeps current SessionManager behavior stable while giving future
- *     work a single target: `RuntimeRunner -> AiSdkFlow` instead of
- *     `SessionManager -> AgentRun -> AiSdkBackend`.
- *
- * What this adapter owns:
- *   - `run(ctx, input)`: drive the wrapped backend and emit `RuntimeEvent`s.
- *   - `mapSessionEventToRuntimeEvent`: a documented, testable placeholder
- *     mapping from the existing `SessionEvent` union onto `RuntimeEvent`.
- *   - coalesce duplicate terminal backend facts (e.g. `abort` followed by
- *     trailing `complete(user_stop)`) so the AgentFlow contract stays at
- *     exactly one terminal RuntimeEvent.
- *   - control surface (`stop` / `respondToSandboxBoundary` / `dispose`): delegate
- *     to the wrapped backend so current control semantics are preserved.
- *
- * What this adapter deliberately does NOT do:
- *   - rewrite or fork `AiSdkBackend.send()`;
- *   - own model-history projection (Phase 7) or tool-event actions (Phase 5).
+ * RuntimeKernel owns backend execution and lifecycle. This module is only the
+ * pure vocabulary bridge from backend events to the canonical Runtime Event
+ * ledger.

+/**
+ * Regression contract for the renderer crash reported in apache/maka#4117.
+ *
+ * The 0.1.11 composer fed a prompt-history completion candidate to the Astryx
+ * `ChatComposerInput` inline-offer engine:
+ *
+ *     inlineCompletion={matchCompletion(text) ?? undefined}
+ *
+ * That vendor engine (0.4.0) re-decided the offer after every render through a
+ * dependency-less `useEffect(reconcileOffer)`, and both of its exits wrote the
+ * same announcement state — `withdrawOffer()` unconditionally called
+ * `setInlineCompletionAnnouncement('')` while a standing offer called it with
+ * the offer text. Whether the loop terminated depended on a
+ * `getBoundingClientRect` comparison (`offerFullyVisible`) agreeing between
+ * the pass that inserted the offer span and the pass that re-measured it after
+ * the announcement commit. When real layout disagreed — a draft at the
+ * max-rows scroll cap, the offer's tail wrapping the field's bottom edge
+ * inside the tolerance, zoom or font rounding — the two writes flip-flopped,
+ * each flip scheduled another commit-phase update in the same nested chain,
+ * and React threw error 185 ("Maximum update depth exceeded") at the
+ * fiftieth. The renderer crash dialog in the report is that throw; the
+ * minified stack resolves to `withdrawOffer`'s announcement dispatch called
+ * from `reconcileOffer` inside `ChatComposerInput`, mounted by the composer
+ * form.
+ *
+ * The seam is closed on two sides — the completion wiring was removed from
+ * the composer (#3292), and Astryx 0.5.0 no longer ships the engine (#3755).
+ * The flip-flop itself cannot be pinned by a unit harness: it needs real
+ * Chromium layout to disagree between the two measurement passes, which no
+ * DOM emulator performs. What every reintroduction would have to touch — and
+ * what these tests therefore pin — is the seam itself:
+ *
+ *   1. the composer passes no `inlineCompletion*` prop to `ChatComposerInput`;
+ *   2. the history hook carries no prompt-completion source to feed one.
+ *
+ * A safe reintroduction means a loop-proof offer engine (termination must not
+ * rest on cross-pass layout agreement) plus recorded capacity to detect the
+ * loop; neither exists today.

-/**
- * Instant bottom pin for a transcript that is still arriving.
- *
- * Astryx's `useChatStreamScroll` positions the FIRST fill of its scroller
- * instantly and springs every later growth. That one-shot lives on the hook
- * instance, and `ChatSurfaceLayout` mounts once for the whole app shell, so it
- * is spent on the session that happened to be open at boot. Every switch after
- * that is "later growth". A switched-to transcript still arrives across the
- * virtual tail's first render and measured-height corrections, so a one-shot
- * scroll would let the spring chase a moving bottom.
- *
- * A session change is navigation, not content growth: the transcript is meant
- * to be at its latest turn the first time it is painted, exactly as it is on a
- * cold start. This pin owns that arrival window only. It writes `scrollTop`
- * from a ResizeObserver — after layout, before paint — so the growth the spring
- * would have animated is already consumed by the time a frame is painted, and
- * the spring settles against a zero delta instead of running. Steady-state
- * following (streaming tokens, appended turns) stays Astryx's, which is why the
- * caller releases this at the end of the arrival window rather than keeping it.
- *
- * Any sign the reader took control releases the pin for good, using the same
- * signals Astryx unlocks on: an upward wheel or a touch drag over the
- * transcript, or a scroll that moved up on its own — one where the geometry did
- * NOT change in the same event, since Chromium fires a synthetic scroll for
- * every content resize and the arrival window is nothing but resizes.

+ * PR-UI-Cx (@kenji C1 residual note msg aa2d26a7) — the assistant
+ * `text_delta` stream the renderer accumulates into the active
+ * `LiveTurnProjection`.
  *
- * Mirrors A3 `tool-output-stream` / C0 `thinking-stream` exactly:
- *   - pure helper `applyAssistantDelta`
- *   - per-delta cap (defensive against a single misbehaving multi-MB
- *     chunk)
- *   - per-session total cap (bounds renderer state for a runaway
- *     stream)
- *   - secondary `redactSecrets` BEFORE state — the renderer cannot
- *     trust upstream to have masked every secret, and a raw
- *     `Authorization: Bearer …` prefix sitting in the live projection
- *     would expose the secret via React DevTools snapshot, the
- *     "copy message" affordance, and any future serialization that
- *     walks the streaming state.
- *
- * Why "head-keep, mark the tail" instead of "tail-keep, mark the
- * head" for the total cap (different from thinking-stream):
- *
- *   Assistant text is read by the user TOP-DOWN as it streams —
- *   they begin reading the first token immediately and follow the
- *   answer sequentially. Tail-keep would scroll the start of the
- *   answer OFF, which is exactly the wrong shape for "read the
- *   model's reply". Head-keep with a trailing "[…后续已截断]"
- *   marker preserves the visible content the user has been reading
- *   and tells them clearly that more was produced but cut.
- *
- *   Thinking-stream tail-keeps because the user is watching the
- *   CURRENT chain of thought ("what is the model thinking right
- *   now"). Assistant output is the opposite affordance.
- *
- * Per-delta cap stays tail-keep with a head marker — same as
- * thinking — because a single oversize delta is a runtime
- * misbehavior and the user has not been "reading" within that one
- * chunk yet; the chunk is about to be appended atomically.
+ * The pipeline itself lives in `stream-delta`, which this module and
+ * `thinking-stream` share; everything below is the assistant's own caps,
+ * markers, and recovery direction. Assistant text head-keeps because the user
+ * reads a reply top-down — see `stream-delta` for why thinking does not.

+/**
+ * The one trust-boundary pipeline the renderer runs over a streamed text
+ * buffer, shared by `assistant-stream` and `thinking-stream`. Both streams
+ * append provider text into a live `LiveTurnProjection` field, and both need
+ * the same three guarantees before that text becomes React state:
+ *
+ *   - secondary `redactSecrets` BEFORE state — the renderer cannot trust
+ *     upstream to have masked every secret, and a raw `Authorization:
+ *     Bearer …` prefix sitting in the live projection would leak through a
+ *     React DevTools snapshot, the "copy message" affordance, and any future
+ *     serialization that walks the streaming state;
+ *   - a per-delta cap, defensive against one misbehaving multi-MB chunk;
+ *   - a per-session total cap that bounds renderer state for a runaway stream.
+ *
+ * The streams differ only in their caps, their user-visible markers, and which
+ * end of an over-cap buffer survives — the `recovery` direction
+ * `streaming-display-redaction` already parameterizes:
+ *
+ *   `recovery: 'head'` (assistant text) keeps the prefix and marks the tail.
+ *   Assistant output is read TOP-DOWN as it streams; tail-keep would scroll
+ *   the start of the answer off, which is the wrong shape for "read the
+ *   model's reply". Head-keep also freezes the buffer once it is full, so
+ *   later deltas short-circuit rather than reprocess.
+ *
+ *   `recovery: 'tail'` (thinking) keeps the most recent text and marks the
+ *   head. The user watching extended thinking is following the CURRENT chain
+ *   of thought, so the oldest reasoning is the least relevant.
+ *
+ * The per-delta cap is tail-keep with a head marker in BOTH streams: a single
+ * oversize delta is runtime misbehavior, the user has not been reading inside
+ * that chunk yet, and it is about to be appended atomically.
+ *
+ * `tool-output-stream` is deliberately not folded in here — it accumulates an

+ * still on that offset is its own echo and any other offset is the reader — by
+ * construction, and with no dependence on when the event arrives. Astryx had to

+ * The transcript's scroll commands, and the seam that hands the scroller to the
+ * authority that owns it (`transcript-scroll-authority.ts`).
+ *
+ * A command is one-shot — jump to a turn the reader picked, ask for the history
+ * above them — and it releases the pin first, because the authority writes
+ * nothing while the pin is released and so a command can never be fighting a
+ * policy. That was the shape every previous round of this code had.
+ *
+ * What decides whether the reader wants either thing is never re-derived here.
+ * "They have left the tail" is the pin, and the pin has one owner. Nothing here
+ * compensates for content that lands above them either; `overflow-anchor: auto`
+ * does that continuously, and for free.

 Streaming text and Markdown expose an explicit `settledText` seam so the
 renderer can verify and advance the exact prefix already presented without
 replaying it. The default remains progressive for a genuinely new stream, and
 rewritten or later text still reveals and fades from a parsed-visible boundary.
+Markdown can also transform the displayed prefix immediately before its
+existing incremental parser, so host syntax such as math stays behind the
+streaming cursor without adding another parser or scheduler.

+/**
+ * Convergence gate for #4109: which hooks are still called in the render bodies
+ * of the shell components that sit above the whole tree.
+ *
+ * In React the position in the tree IS the scope of the state. A hook called in
+ * the shell's render body has the whole tree as its scope; the same hook called
+ * in a provider has its readers as its scope. `AppShellContent` today carries
+ * 536 hooks above the entire tree, so a session switch produces ~19 commits,
+ * ~14 of them full-tree renders, of which 96-99% is recoverable work.
+ *
+ * The fix is to move call sites, one feature at a time. That is slow, and a
+ * checklist cannot tell whether it is progressing — extracting a feature into
+ * its own slice does not change the scope of any state, and Session Navigation
+ * proves it: a complete `model / controller / ui / ports` slice whose
+ * controller is still invoked from this render body.
+ *
+ * A call site does have a definition of done, so this gate counts them. The
+ * inventory below is EXACT, not a ceiling: growing past an entry fails, and so
+ * does falling below one. Only failing on growth would let the counts drift
+ * quietly downward and record no progress, which is the one thing this gate
+ * exists to make visible. The cost is real — a change that removes an effect
+ * has to edit this file — and that edit IS the record.
+ *
+ * Deliberately NOT a `--write` mode. Regenerating the inventory on demand would
+ * let a new hook be accepted by rerunning a command, and the friction of
+ * editing it by hand is the point. This is the opposite shape from
+ * `check-astryx-surface-inventory.mjs`, whose invariant is "regenerate and
+ * compare bytes, never a hand-written list". That is right for an inventory
+ * that only has to describe the tree; this one has to RESIST it.
+ *
+ * Two shapes of migration, because the failure message cannot tell them apart:
+ * when nothing in the shell body reads the feature, the call site moves into a
+ * provider and React bails out of `children` (the mention catalog, #4109) — the
+ * entry disappears. When the shell body DOES read it, moving the call site
+ * still leaves a selector read behind, and the honest outcome is a smaller
+ * entry rather than none. "Call it from the provider" is not advice to follow
+ * blindly: cross-feature intent the shell issues must stay an explicit command,
+ * never an implicit subscription bought to lower a number.
+ *
+ * The count is unweighted, so it measures migration progress and not render
+ * cost: a subscription that fires five times per session switch and a hook that
+ * runs once at mount both count as one. Falling counts do not by themselves
+ * demonstrate a faster switch.
+ *
+ * Both `AppShell` and `AppShellContent` are counted. `AppShell` wraps the
+ * content in the root providers, so a hook hoisted one level up has if anything
+ * a WIDER scope — an inventory that watched only the inner component would
+ * accept that move as progress.
+ *
+ * The counting is textual, because TypeScript 7 exposes no stable parser to
+ * JavaScript (only `typescript/unstable/*`), and a gate that goes red whenever
+ * a dependency moves is its own kind of noise. Textual counting is therefore
+ * written to fail closed: `stripNonCode` blanks comments, strings and regex
+ * literals in place, the body is delimited by brace balancing over that blanked
+ * text rather than by a `\n}\n` guess, and a hook name is only counted where a
+ * call actually follows it — including through an explicit type argument, which
+ * an earlier version of this gate silently skipped over.
+ *
+ * Purely derived hooks (`useMemo`, `useCallback`, `useRef`, `useId`) are
+ * ignored: they hold no state and subscribe to nothing, so they cannot widen
+ * the scope of a render. Everything else counts, including React's own
+ * `useState` / `useEffect`, because a custom hook is only a name for them.
+ *
+ * Run: npm run check:app-shell-hooks
+ * Fix: move the call site into the feature's provider, then delete its entry.

-// An accessibility oracle that owes Computer Use nothing.
-//
-// Every real-machine check so far read the result back through the same path
-// that wrote it: the model acts through maka-cu, and then the observation
-// that says it worked also comes from maka-cu. An executor that reports a
-// successful click on a control it never touched passes that test. So does a
-// locked screen, which is how a menu-only tree once read as a normal one.
-//
-// This walks the accessibility tree itself, through the system framework, in a
-// separate process. When it and an observation disagree, the observation is
-// the one that has to explain itself.
-//
-// Usage:
-//   swift scripts/computer-use/ax-oracle.swift <bundle-id> [--role AXButton] [--depth 8]
-// Prints one JSON object: the app, its windows, and every element with a role,
-// a label, and a value. Exit 0 means the object describes the tree. Exit 1
-// means it describes why there is no tree to describe — `screen_locked`,
-// `not_permitted`, `not_running` — and the caller must not read the absence of
-// an element as evidence the element is absent. Exit 64 is a usage error.
-//
-// This is a hand-run tool. It has no automated caller in this repository: it is
-// meant to be run beside a Computer Use session, by a person, when an
-// observation needs a second opinion.

-// What confused the model.
-//
-// `MAKA_CU_DEBUG_LOG` is meant to record every Computer Use call a real run
-// made: arguments verbatim, result untruncated, interleaved with the executor's
-// own dispatch trace. Reading one by hand tells you what happened; reading
-// twenty tells you what the tool surface keeps doing to models.
-//
-// NOTHING WRITES THAT JOURNAL YET. `MAKA_CU_DEBUG_LOG` and the `CuDebugRecord`
-// shape read below have no producer anywhere in this repository — not on
-// `main`, not on any open branch other than the harness scripts that pass the
-// variable through. So the record shape here has never been checked against a
-// writer, and the first writer to land will disagree with it in some way. That
-// is why every field this file reads is required rather than defaulted: a
-// record it cannot classify is reported and exits non-zero, instead of being
-// counted as a call that went fine. See `classify` below.
-//
-// This looks for the shapes that mean a model was stuck rather than working:
-//
-//   repeated       the same call, twice or more, unchanged. It read the reply

+"""Regenerate the shipped app-icon artwork.
+
+Every PNG under apps/desktop/assets/app-icons/ except `mono.png` comes out of
+this file. The mark is not traced, not drawn over stock art, and not generated
+by a model: it is a handful of stroked polylines defined by the constants
+below, so the provenance of the artwork is the source you are reading.
+
+    python3 scripts/generate-app-icons.py            # rewrite every icon
+    python3 scripts/generate-app-icons.py --check    # verify, write nothing
+
+`--check` is what the test harness uses: it re-renders and compares bytes, so
+a change to the geometry that is not reflected in the committed PNGs fails.
+The harness passes no names, so every shipped tile is compared, and rendering
+is spread across all cores to keep that affordable.
+
+There is no SVG rasteriser available in CI, so the PNGs are rendered here by
+evaluating the same geometry as signed distance fields — including the miter
+wedge a sharp join adds, which a plain capsule union would miss.
+
+Artwork is written at 1024x1024 with a 100px transparent margin on all four
+sides. That is the macOS icon grid: the solid block occupies 824/1024 (80.5%)
+and the dock scales the canvas without adding padding of its own, so a
+full-bleed tile would sit 24% wider than every neighbour.

+# Renderer performance probes
+
+Measuring what a session switch costs in the running Desktop app, over CDP. The
+findings in #4109 were produced with these; they live here so the next
+measurement is a command rather than a rebuild.
+
+They are ad-hoc tools, not a benchmark suite: they attach to a dev app you
+started, and they answer "how much" only for the interaction they drive.
+
+## Running
+
+Start the dev app with the debugger open:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev -w @maka/desktop -- --remote-debugging-port=9334
+```
+
+Then, with a populated sidebar (about 30 rows is what the #4109 numbers used):
+
+```bash
+node scripts/perf/session-switch-commits.mjs before
+node scripts/perf/session-switch-busy-js.mjs
+```
+
+- `session-switch-commits.mjs` — React commits per switch, how many are
+  full-tree renders, and how many fibers actually re-rendered. Reloads the page
+  first, so `react-commit-probe.js` is in place before React boots.
+- `session-switch-busy-js.mjs` — renderer busy JS per switch, with the top
+  self-time entries. It reports the running build, one configuration. A
+  before/after needs both configurations in one instance; see below.
+- `react-commit-probe.js` — the in-page half: a minimal
+  `__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__` plus a `Function.prototype.bind` wrapper that
+  catches React creating a `dispatchSetState`, so a commit can be attributed to
+  the `setState` that caused it.
+- `cdp-client.mjs` — the protocol client and the row-clicking helper.
+
+## The one rule
+
+**Never compare numbers from two app launches.** Restarting the app shifts these
+metrics by orders of magnitude, while the spread inside a single running
+instance is small. An A/B means: one instance, a `globalThis` switch to select
+the configuration, at least three repetitions per configuration, alternating,
+compared pairwise. Two runs of "before" and "after" against two launches will
+produce a confident number that means nothing.
+
+The switch is a throwaway, not a shipped affordance. Branch a worktree, put a
+`globalThis` flag in the one place that reads it — one that restores the old
+behaviour when set, so the regressed configuration is reachable without
+rebuilding the defect by hand — alternate the flag inside the running instance,
+then delete the worktree. Measurement discipline is ours; product code carries
+none of it. A flag that reaches `main` is a branch nothing executes and a
+defect replica that has to be maintained against the code it replicates.
+
+Two smaller ones that cost time to rediscover:
+
+- Clicks must be `Input.dispatchMouseEvent`. A synthesised `element.click()`
+  does not activate an Astryx `SideNavItem`, so the app does nothing and the
+  measurement describes it.
+- Disarm the commit probe (`__MAKA_PROBE__.arm = false`) before sampling. Its
+  fiber walk otherwise shows up in the profile as the app's own work;
+  `session-switch-busy-js.mjs` does this for you.
+
+## What these do not tell you
+
+The commit count is unweighted, and busy JS on this workload is spread across
+about a thousand cheap fibers rather than concentrated in one component. A
+change that lowers the commit count has not necessarily lowered the time, and a
+change that moves the top self-time entry has not necessarily lowered anything.
+Read both, and read the medians.

+ * Counts React commits, rendered fibers, and the `setState` calls that caused
+ * them, from inside the renderer (#4109).
+ *
+ * Injected with `Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument` before the app loads,
+ * because both halves have to be in place first:
+ *
+ *   1. `__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__` must exist before `react-dom` looks for
+ *      it, or no commit is ever reported. This is a minimal stand-in for the
+ *      DevTools hook — enough of the shape that react-dom injects into it.
+ *
+ *   2. `Function.prototype.bind` is wrapped to catch React creating a state
+ *      dispatcher. React binds `dispatchSetState` as `(null, fiber, queue)`,
+ *      and the queue is the only object in the runtime carrying
+ *      `lastRenderedReducer`, so that triple identifies it with no version
+ *      coupling to react-dom's internals.
+ *
+ * A fiber counts as rendered when it carries `Placement` (`flags & 1`) and its
+ * alternate was last seen in the previous commit. That is identity-insensitive:
+ * it reports what React actually re-rendered, not what a `memo` comparator was
+ * asked about.
+ *
+ * `arm` gates recording so a measurement covers one interaction rather than the
+ * app's whole life. Set `__MAKA_PROBE__.arm = false` before profiling with the
+ * sampler, or the probe's own walk lands in the profile.
