Platform system

Purpose

The platform system owns cross-cutting runtime services, configuration, observability, notifications, localization, lifecycle safety, and shared operational guarantees.

Repository validation performance, including local commit checks and shared CI execution, belongs here. The CI system retains hosted workflow trust policy.

Shared read-capacity protection and aggregate reporting availability belong here. Domain systems retain ownership of source records and workspace context identity.

Ownership

This system owns startup and shutdown contracts, process and port-independent runtime safety, configuration precedence, diagnostics, notifications, localization, feature toggles, health, and shared session recovery services.

Settings discovery and interface parity belong to Platform. Each settings domain retains ownership of its values, validation, authority, and persistence.

Exclusions

• Executor-specific runtime environments belong to the executor system.
• Agent identity belongs to the agent system.
• Desktop shell behavior belongs to the desktop system.
