Frozen on creation. Modified only via bounded-task delegation with Task ID
in /home/z/my-project/worklog.md. See DESIGN.md Β§M1.
Defines the formal contract for any AI agent loop that runs on RMI infrastructure:
Hermes, claude-code, aider, GLM-5.2. Without this spec, loops are unbounded β
they iterate forever, burn tokens, produce no verifiable artifacts.
