Narrative authority

  • • Plan / Character / Story are the three narrative primitives
  • • Source prose and accepted models have distinct authority
  • • spec/narrative-system.yaml defines the storage and write laws

Control plane

  • • Evaluation owns immutable proof and reviewer evidence
  • • Owner Decision answers exact persisted requests
  • • Accepted payload and incumbent hashes govern reconciliation

Integration boundary

  • • Public run/resume uses content-addressed candidate bundles
  • • Publication metadata is operational, not narrative authority
  • • The live author bridge has no intent queue or publication transport
