Run one cold reconstruction task against the typed workspace boundary and compare errors, intervention, and elapsed time with the prior evidence path.

public agent-workspace repositories · code-layout and architectural enforcement · memory and context systems · agent-facing interface patterns

Evidence-graded principles, reference architectures, rejected patterns, and tests that distinguish universal findings from SISO preferences.

Re-answer when a major agent platform, workspace architecture, or failed forward prediction changes a load-bearing conclusion.

A complete agent workspace can integrate its organs through typed interfaces without collapsing their independent ownership boundaries. Scope: agent-workspace architecture · Falsifier: Representative workspace tasks require one organ to own another organ's durable state, evidence adjudication, and runtime authority to remain coherent. · Depends on: none · Evidence: EC-GQ001-RESEARCH-METHOD · Review: 2026-08-02

Stable identities, typed relationships, and explicit receipts reduce the context a cold agent must reconstruct before useful work. Scope: workspace reconstruction · Falsifier: Cold-task comparisons show no meaningful reduction in reconstruction time, errors, or human intervention after adding the addressable contract. · Depends on: QA-GQ001-BOUNDARIES · Evidence: EC-GQ001-LIBRARY-SEED · Review: 2026-08-02

The question-driven research architecture separates identity, discovery, corpus, evidence transformation, and execution responsibilities. Owner: The Great Library of SISO · Supports: QA-GQ001-BOUNDARIES · Challenges: none · Observed: 2026-08-02

The immutable seed exposes publication-safe identity and scope without presenting the partial answer as a public artifact. Owner: The Great Library of SISO · Supports: QA-GQ001-ADDRESSABILITY · Challenges: none · Observed: 2026-08-02

The current question frame defines learning demand but grants no implementation or budget authority. Owner role: question steward · Status: proposed · Recorded: 2026-08-02T00:34:00+07:00 · Truth: not applicable · Predecessors: none · Assumptions: QA-GQ001-BOUNDARIES, QA-GQ001-ADDRESSABILITY
