Alignment work that remains\n\nThe August codebase alignment document reported 30 services against a smaller canonical plane model and identified consolidation gaps. Key alignment work:\n\n- consolidate loader/normalizer behavior into the canonical Pipeline boundary\n- consolidate fragmented Twin runtime services into a coherent Twin/AI Workbench runtime\n- create or harden Configuration Manager and Activation Bridge\n- maintain clear separation of Spine, Spine Cache, Blobs, Business Memory, Personal Memory, AI Memory, Session Logs and Audit Logs even if physically co-located\n- consolidate agent registry/workflow semantics into Capability Fabric and ADK boundaries\n- keep Governance separate from Hermes execution\n- move direct provider/writeback behavior behind outcome, verification, reconciliation and governed writer contracts\n- ensure gateway/ADK middleware cannot silently bypass Governance or create implicit approval\n- treat legacy n8n/product-plane orchestration or direct `spine.write` semantics as migration evidence rather than final doctrine\n\n## 2. Readiness evidence model\n\nReadiness must be evidence-based across at least: implemented, wired, deployed and verified end-to-end. Presence of code or a Wrangler manifest is not proof of production readiness.\n\n## 3. Implementation status labels\n\n| Label | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| **VERIFIED** | Present in code, configuration or tests. Does not by itself prove live deployment. |\n| **INTENDED** | Required target contract. Retained even when the complete runtime is not yet wired. |\n| **DRIFT** | Present implementation contradicts or bypasses the target contract. |\n| **DECISION** | The repository cannot safely settle the choice; named owner input is required. |\n"}
