+# ADR 0023: Declarative Kit Provisioning
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-16
+**Status:** Accepted (owner-ratified Option A in flow-agents#647)
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Kits sometimes need to supply repository-owned configuration or policy files in addition to runtime projections. The motivating `veritas-governance` follow-up needs this capability, but embedding kit-specific copy logic in Flow Agents would violate the kit boundary. Runtime activation is also the wrong mechanism: its projection directory is regenerable adapter state, while these files must become normal files in the consumer repository.
+
+## Decision
+
+A kit may declare a `provisions` list in `kit.json`. Each entry is inert data naming an id, a source file inside the kit, and a consumer-repository-relative target. Provision declarations are never executed.
+
+The Flow Agents engine performs agent-blind file copying through an explicit `kit provision` operation. It validates source and target containment, preflights every destination, and creates files only when no declared destination already exists. An explicit `--force` option may replace declared destination files; the default never silently overwrites an anchor-owned or consumer-owned file. `--dry-run` reports the plan without writing.
+
+`flow-agents init --activate-kit` invokes the same engine after activation with create-only semantics. Existing destinations are reported as skipped warnings so init remains safe to rerun. Provisioning remains separate from runtime activation and its projection directory.
+
+The engine records successful copies under `.kontourai/flow-agents/provisions/<kit-id>.json`. This manifest is bookkeeping and may be replaced on a later successful provisioning operation. Enforcement policy and ownership of protected paths remain anchor-side; a kit declaration does not grant permission to overwrite them.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Kits can ship repository files without executable installers or kit-specific engine behavior.
+- Create-only defaults preserve consumer and anchor ownership; replacement requires an explicit user operation.
+- Provisioned files belong to the consumer repository once written. Uninstalling or deactivating a kit never removes or reverts them.
+- Runtime adapters continue to activate only their supported projection assets and report provisions as explicitly skipped.
+- Consumers that need stronger protected-path policy enforce it at their anchor; the generic engine remains deliberately dumb and kit-neutral.
+
+## Accepted residuals
+
+- **Copy is best-effort against concurrent interposition (both ends).** The checks and the copy
+  are separate steps (check-then-act): a file created into a declared destination between the
+  conflict preflight and the write can still be overwritten, and a source re-pointed to a link
+  between its containment check and its read could resolve elsewhere. Provisioning targets a
+  developer/CI working tree, not a hostile multi-writer path, so both TOCTOU windows are accepted
+  rather than closed with exclusive-create / open-then-fstat plumbing. The static guarantees are
+  enforced up front: reserved-directory (`.git`, the provision manifest namespace), source and
+  destination containment (link-resolved), and case-fold collision rejection; concurrent
+  interposition on either end is out of scope.
+- **Target case-folding assumes the common single-case-family repo.** Collision and reserved-path
+  checks case-fold targets so case-insensitive filesystems are safe; a genuinely case-sensitive
+  repo that intends two targets differing only in case is rejected as a portability hazard.

+## The Portfolio Layer Doctrine
+
+The engine/kits split here is Flow Agents' instance of the portfolio-wide **Layer Doctrine**
+([surface/docs/architecture/portfolio-layer-doctrine.md](https://github.com/kontourai/surface/blob/main/docs/architecture/portfolio-layer-doctrine.md)):
+dependency direction is one-way up the stack (open trust format → building-block tools → Surface →
+products), and no layer reaches sideways into a peer. A product engine (e.g. `@kontourai/veritas`)
+never depends on the platform, and a **kit consumes an engine only through its CLI + recorded
+artifacts, never as an npm library import** — the whole point of the manifest/catalog model above.
+Both edges are now enforced executably: veritas-side by `check-no-flow-agents-dep.mjs` (the engine
+declares no flow-agents dependency) and here by [`scripts/check-layer-boundary.mjs`](../scripts/check-layer-boundary.mjs)
+(no kit imports the veritas engine as a library). See veritas's
+[Engine / Surface Seam](https://github.com/kontourai/veritas/blob/main/docs/architecture/engine-surface-seam.md)
+for the canonical engine-vs-kit capability inventory that the Veritas Governance Kit row above
+builds on.

+# Backlog Readiness Source
+
+Which signal marks a Work Item intentionally ready for pickup, and what
+`pull-work` is allowed to do when that signal yields nothing.
+
+## Decision
+
+- **The org project board is the readiness source.** The configured
+  BoardProvider — org GitHub Project `kontourai/1` ("Flow Agents Builder
+  Platform") — carries readiness as board Status. `ready_statuses=["ready"]`
+  is the pickup filter; the board's `Priority` field ranks the cross-repo
+  ready queue.
+- **Triage is the automated intake status.** Every new `kontourai/*` issue is
+  added to the board with Status=Triage by the shared reusable workflow
+  (`kontourai/.github` `add-issue-to-project.yml`, called per-repo from
+  `.github/workflows/add-to-project.yml`); closing an issue moves it to Done.
+  Nothing reaches Ready automatically.
+- **The Triage → Ready move is the intentionality act.** Moving an item to
+  Ready (and setting Priority) is the triage responsibility that makes work
+  eligible for agent pickup. This is a deliberate human/triage-pass decision,
+  not automation.
+- **A configured readiness source that yields nothing is a surfaced warning,
+  never a silent fallback.** The board reader emits `zero_ready_items` when
+  the configured board produces an empty ready queue (landed with PR #449),
+  and the issue-listing path emits `board_provider_bypassed` whenever a
+  BoardProvider is configured but issue-level listing is used instead.
+  `pull-work` must carry these warnings into its artifact and route to
+  triage/intake rather than silently substituting unranked issue listing.
+- The settings contract declares the real board taxonomy: the schema's
+  `exclude_statuses` vocabulary includes `triage`, and this repo's settings
+  exclude `triage` explicitly. `verification` remains in the schema vocabulary
+  for provider-neutral shapes even though this board has no such column.
+
+## Evidence basis (re-verified live, 2026-07-16)
+
+Issue #441 was shaped on 2026-07-06 evidence that the board was dead (15
+items, all Done, no automation). That premise is now false:
+
+- The kontourai org has exactly **one** ProjectV2: `kontourai/1`, open, **468
+  items** (306 Triage / 14 Ready / 148 Done) spanning 13 repos; 169 of 171
+  open flow-agents issues are on it.
+- The auto-add workflow targets exactly this project
+  (`PVT_kwDOEJYCKs4BYzgP`), Status field options: Triage, Ready, In Progress,
+  Blocked, Review, Done.
+- A live board-driven `pull-work` read returns a **14-item priority-ranked
+  cross-repo ready queue** with zero warnings and zero intake gaps.
+- The agent-path `gh` token carries the `project` scope, so the read:project
+  friction recorded in #441 no longer holds.
+
+## Rejected alternative
+
+**Label-based readiness (per-repo `ready`/`blocked`/`in-progress` labels).**
+Recommended by #441 when the board was dead, because it needed no board
+maintenance and no extra token scope. Both advantages evaporated once the
+auto-add automation went live org-wide and the agent token gained `project`
+scope — and labels cannot express cross-repo priority ranking without
+inventing a parallel convention per repo. Revisit trigger: if the auto-add
+workflow or `project` token scope regresses for agent environments, reopen
+this subject rather than quietly re-deriving readiness from labels.
+
+## Follow-ups (owned elsewhere, not absorbed here)
+
+- **One-time triage sweep** of the ~306 Triage items (and any open issues
+  missing from the board) to assign Ready/Priority intentionally — owned by
+  the triage pass in #443 item 2. Not executed with this decision: the Ready
+  set was already non-empty (14 items), and bulk-moving 300+ items without
+  the accepted mechanism would manufacture fake intentionality.
+- **Board maintenance as flow responsibility** (intake adds, claim → In
+  Progress, completion Done assertion): #443.
+- **Doctor board-health checks** (configured-but-unfed board, dead readiness
+  source, missing token scope): #443 item 5 / #321. Until that surface
+  exists, the warnings live in `pull-work` provider output and the
+  `pull-work` skill contract only.
+- **Workspace-scoped pull-work** across multiple repos: #444.

+# Writer-observed execution
+
+**Decision.** When `record-gate-claim` executes a declared evidence command itself
+(`runObservedCommand` — a real process it spawned, with a real exit code, output hash, and,
+for tests, a `local-process-exit` execution proof), it appends that observation to the same
+hash-chained `command-log.jsonl` the PostToolUse capture hook writes, under the same
+lockfile protocol, visibly attributed via `source: "canonical-writer-execution"`. The
+capture fold's precedence is **outcome-ranked, source-blind**: observed fail > observed
+pass > ambiguous, with the exit code always traveling with the winning status. The
+properties that matter follow: a writer pass can lift ambiguity but can never bury an
+independently captured failure (fail is sticky from either source), and a writer-observed
+failure likewise defeats any pass. Passes from the two sources rank equally — the
+distinction between them lives in the permanent `source` attribution, not in the fold. The chain
+fork classifier tolerates shared-parent siblings only when every sibling's source is
+`postToolUse-capture` or `canonical-writer-execution`; any other source on a shared parent
+remains tamper.
+
+**Context.** ADR 0017/0020 make the independent capture log the truth source for command
+outcomes, and #470 hardened capture to never record `pass` without positive evidence. On
+hosts whose runtime hook payloads carry no exit code (Codex's PostToolUse
+`tool_response` today), every captured entry is honestly `ambiguous` — and #634 showed the
+consequence: `builder.verify.*` claims can never derive `verified`, while the sanctioned
+accepted-gap waiver produces `assumed`, which no gate's `accepted_statuses` admits. The
+verify gate was structurally unclosable on such hosts regardless of evidence quality.
+
+**Why this preserves the anti-gaming posture.** A writer observation is not an inference or
+a self-report of intent — it is the exit code of a process the canonical writer itself
+spawned and waited on. It enters the record distinguishable forever (the `source` field),
+tamper-evident (chain-hashed), serialized against the hook (shared lock), and subordinate
+on conflict (an observed fail from either source wins). The waiver path is untouched:
+accepted gaps remain disclosure that derives `assumed`, never gate satisfaction.
+
+**Residual risk, accepted.** A compromised writer process could self-attest a pass the hook
+never saw. Mitigations: the attribution is permanent and auditable; the chain makes
+retroactive editing detectable; a hook-observed failure always prevails; and PR CI Trust
+Reconcile re-executes manifest commands independently of any local observation. Follow-up
+(#634 option c): when runtime harnesses surface exit codes in hook payloads, hook capture
+naturally resumes confirming passes first-hand; writer observations then serve as
+corroboration rather than the sole deterministic signal.

+## Repository Provisioning
+
+Provision entries declare inert files; kits do not execute installer code. Source paths follow the other extension-asset rules: they must be relative, stay inside the kit directory, and name an existing regular file. Targets must be non-empty relative paths, must not contain traversal segments or resolve outside the consumer repository, must not be inside `.git`, and must be unique after normalization.
+
+Provision a catalog kit, an installed-registry kit, or a kit at a direct local path with:
+
+```bash
+flow-agents kit provision <kit-id-or-path> [--target <consumer-repo>] [--force] [--dry-run]
+```
+
+`--target` defaults to the current working directory and must already be a directory. The engine resolves the real path of the deepest existing destination ancestor before writing, so a symlink cannot redirect a provision outside the target repository. It preflights the whole declaration: by default, any existing destination reports every conflict, exits nonzero, and writes none of the provisioned files. `--force` replaces declared destination files. `--dry-run` prints every source-to-target mapping and writes nothing.
+
+After a successful non-dry-run copy, Flow Agents writes or replaces this bookkeeping manifest:
+
+```text
+<target>/.kontourai/flow-agents/provisions/<kit-id>.json
+```
+
+The schema is `{ schema_version: "1.0", kit_id, kit_hash, provisioned_at, files: [{ id, target }] }`. Provisioned files become consumer-repository content; uninstalling or deactivating the kit does not remove them.
+
+When `flow-agents init --activate-kit <id>` successfully activates a selected kit, init invokes the same provisioning engine against its destination with create-only semantics. Existing destinations are reported as skipped warnings and do not fail an init rerun. Provisions never enter the runtime projection directory.
