Architecture path

How archetype definitions become public pages

The public guide is a read model over the platform’s canonical archetype registry. It does not maintain another value-stream definition.

This path is for architects, standards reviewers, and contributors who need the source, projection, and conformance contract.

Single source of truth

Drift prevention

Generated pages are checked

The generator resolves every published leaf against ALL_ARCHETYPES, calls the canonical operational-value-stream derivation, and fails in --check mode when committed HTML differs.

Deliberate boundary

Category copy is only shared context

Category pages may explain common concerns. They do not define one category-wide process. Exact stages, constraints, and modules appear only on canonical leaf projections.

Current evidence

86 published leaf profiles resolve to source

The committed artifacts are generated from packages/storefront-templates/src. Broader platform architecture and standards remain in the architecture documentation.

For architects & standards reviewers

DPF as a reference implementation

DPF is a working prototype for two proposed standards — not a claim of full present-day conformance. TAK governs what an agent may do; GAID governs who the agent is and what evidence follows its actions. Here is what is real today, what is partial, and what is still proposed — the gaps are mapped, not hidden.

TAK — Trusted AI Kernel

The runtime-governance harness: authority mediation, tool-execution gating, human-in-the-loop, memory limits, and audit/evidence — enforced as an agent operates.

GAID — Global AI Agent Identification & Governance

Who an agent is, the claims it carries, and how its actions are identified and traced — identity documents, badges, authorization classes, and action receipts.

Implemented now

  • Route-scoped AI coworkers — each route gets a purpose-built coworker with its own tools and vocabulary
  • Tool authority = grant ∩ user capability — every tool exposure filtered by user authority, mode, and external-access posture
  • Proposal-mode gated actions — consequential actions break the loop and return an approval payload instead of executing
  • Tool-execution audit logging — every call written to ToolExecution — agent, user, tool, params, result, route, duration, audit class
  • Archetype-driven UX & vocabulary — storefront, scheduling, finance and compliance defaults generated from one archetype
  • Internal agent registry — stable identifiers, model bindings, supervisors, delegates, grants, HITL defaults

Partially implemented

  • TAK runtime transparency — an Authority & Audit workspace with a supervisor-ready Agent Card snapshot
  • Agent Card / AIDoc projection — the registry approximates an AIDoc — not yet signed or resolvable
  • Stable internal agent identity — platform-local today, not yet canonical GAID identifiers
  • HITL tier metadata — carried per agent, not yet one uniform runtime policy engine
  • Delegation & authority modeling — supervisor & delegation recorded, not yet a receipt-backed chain
  • Chain-of-custody trace — agent, user, route and tool recorded; not yet end-to-end across boundaries

Planned / proposed

  • Signed / tamper-evident receipts — cryptographically verifiable receipts for consequential actions
  • GAID public/private namespaces — explicit private vs externally-accredited public identity scopes
  • Public verifier metadata — published A2A Agent Cards and external receipt-status endpoints
  • External certificates & status — issuer validation and public status services for exposed agents
  • Capability & governance badges — evidence-backed assurance levels
  • Repeatable conformance suites — automated TAK & GAID test packs preserved as evidence

Grounded in the platform’s own first-pass assessment: TAK / GAID conformance assessment · TAK · GAID · governance white paper. DPF is the proving ground where these ideas are exercised in real workflows.
