- telemetry-and-evaluation.md - how the stack observes what an agent did, and how that record turns into a score
- pipeline-rationale.md - why the pipeline has four stages
- ownership-and-templates.md - why a
.templatesplit exists, and why an instance comes only from a release - language-boundaries.md - why the control plane is English everywhere and the KB language is a value

- knowledge-and-commitment.md - why commitments live in a task
tracker rather than in
kb/ - configuration-tiers.md - why settings sit in three tiers, and what keeping secrets out of the tree does not protect against
- model-and-effort-selection.md - which model and effort suit which kind of session, for the harness that has to choose
