 # Agentic OS (agentcos) — Tech Stack Document
 
 **Context**: Solo-dev, AI-native startup. `agentcos` is the Agentic OS — the harness/orchestration plane that supervises, verifies, and delivers multiple target product repositories. First targets: `agntgrph` (knowledge-graph canvas product) and `gamexr` (game/XR product). Runtime topology: Dev (`GitHub/agntgrph`, `GitHub/gamexr`, `npm run dev`; Home Apex supervisor `npm run dev:apex`) → Prod mirrors (`GitHub/huijoohwee/content/agntgrph`, `GitHub/huijoohwee/content/gamexr`) → Delivery (`airvio.co`, `airvio.co/agntgrph`, `airvio.co/gamexr`).
-**Intent**: Provide the end-to-end reference for agentcos user flow, orchestration/harness flow, workflow, and data flow — evaluated through the four compounding lenses (min-viable-max-value, TCO-zero, token economics, harness-first) and the governing Agentic SDLC execution contract (roles, budgets, gates, receipts).

 **Directive**: Treat `agentic-canvas-os/docs` (Git, frontmatter-first) as the invocation and contract SSOT. Resolve `/`, `#`, `@` only through the three invocation dictionaries. Every AI pipeline runs in a typed harness with a cost log; every loop carries a max-iteration bound and circuit-breaker; every verdict comes from an Evaluator mechanism distinct from the Implementer; every promotion toward a delivered surface passes a closed-by-default Deploy Boundary.
