The template contract
A versioned template.toml that binds what a stamped app is, and the agentic posture it is born with.
template.toml
A stamp is a function of a contract version. The template contract (template.toml) is the versioned declaration of what a stamped app is: its shape, its verbs, and what may change under a governed upgrade. Pinning the version is what lets a chassis upgrade later run as a governed verb instead of a manual migration.
Born-with provenance
At stamp time the app receives a born-with certificate that binds an explicit agentic posture. An agent that later operates the app runs under a declared posture, recorded from the moment the app exists, rather than one inferred after the fact.
This rung is still being built: the contract itself is in progress and the born-with certificate is specced but not yet implemented. The specs below carry the current state; the status ladder on the home page reads it live from the registry.
