What Rustev owns and refuses to own within the ecosystem (spec-spine, Aicortex, Rahi, statecraft-cli, applications), the rule that Rustev produces proposals and never grants, the provenance classes of Rustev outputs, the dependency layout that keeps contracts transport-neutral and the core free of integrations, and the product principles that are the constitution's principles VI onward.
