What changed
AGENTS.mdMission section so the engineering guidance uses the same model.Why
The previous “primitives for building software platforms” wording was ambiguous because it could make Hyperkernel sound like a toolkit used to construct a separate platform. It also placed the implementation mechanism, the kernel and its primitives, ahead of the product itself.
The resulting developer-facing model is explicit: Hyperkernel is the self-hostable application platform. Developers and organizations build and run modular applications on Hyperkernel. Those applications share contracts for identity, permissions, state, events, and audit history, and collectively form a software platform tailored to the work they support.
The
event-sourcingkeyword was removed because the production event store and replay architecture remain target architecture rather than implemented functionality.Validation
