Source authoring

Humans and Agents edit corpus/sources/. They do not write into corpus/dist/.

Before adding a Unit, load the owning Model Package and choose a declared type, field set, and relation. Existing sources are style examples, not schema authority. If the model has no suitable declaration, change model/ in a reviewed model release; do not patch Kernary Core.

Every publishable source must preserve the Corpus namespace and ID convention, record required provenance and licence metadata, and use only declared relation semantics. Never infer a licence from an absent field.

The optional prime-author compatibility Skill can guide an Agent through this workflow. It does not publish automatically and it cannot bypass model, Corpus, signature, or release gates.

Validate through the owning package:

bun run model:check
bun run corpus:build
bun run corpus:check
bun run corpus:verify

Source authoring creates a proposed release. Runtime Action execution is a different path: it calls a declared provider under capability, policy, preflight, approval, idempotency, and event evidence.
