+## Author’s Note
+
+ARVIS began as a direct response to a structural limitation I kept observing in contemporary AI systems: impressive generation capacity without explicit guarantees of stability, traceability, calibrated uncertainty, or bounded reasoning under stress.
+
+Most systems today optimize outputs. ARVIS was conceived to optimize **cognitive integrity**.
+
+The core idea is simple: intelligence should not only be measured by what it can produce, but by how reliably it behaves when conditions become ambiguous, adversarial, incomplete, or contradictory. A system that answers brilliantly in ideal conditions but degrades unpredictably under pressure remains fundamentally unsafe.
+
+ARVIS therefore takes a different path.
+
+It is designed as a cognitive architecture grounded in explicit control loops, measurable invariants, deterministic replayability, uncertainty-aware reasoning, governance gates, temporal coherence, and mathematical stability principles inspired by control theory. Instead of hiding internal states behind opaque generation layers, ARVIS attempts to make cognition inspectable, auditable, and accountable.
+
+This repository is not merely a software package. It is an open research proposition:
+
+* that AI can be architected around **stability before scale**
+* that abstention can be superior to hallucination
+* that uncertainty should be represented, not concealed
+* that traceability is a prerequisite for trust
+* that bounded cognition may outperform unconstrained improvisation in critical domains
+
+ARVIS also serves another purpose: it is a foundation layer for future systems such as Veramem, where memory, privacy, continuity, and cognition must coexist under stronger guarantees than current assistant architectures typically provide.
+
+The project remains ambitious, unfinished, and evolving. That is intentional. ARVIS is not presented as a final answer, but as a serious alternative direction.
+
+If this work resonates with researchers, engineers, safety practitioners, or builders who believe AI needs deeper architecture—not only larger models—then it has already fulfilled part of its purpose.
+
+Thank you for reading, testing, criticizing, and improving it.
+

+# ARVIS
+
+**The Cognitive Operating System for Governed AI Systems**
+
+> Python 3.11+ • Deterministic • Replayable • Governed • Auditable
+
+> **Status: `0.1.0-alpha` (preview).** The public API is not yet stable.
+> The projection layer is partial, LLM governance is mock-first, and formal
+> guarantees apply only to the documented projected domains. See
+> [Known Limitations](#known-limitations-010-alpha).
+
+ARVIS is a deterministic runtime layer that treats reasoning as **critical infrastructure**.
+
+It provides governed cognition, replayable decisions, inspectable state transitions, controlled execution, explicit uncertainty handling, and verifiable audit trails.
+
+> Not a model.
+> Not an agent wrapper.
+> Not prompt engineering.
+> **ARVIS is the systems layer reliable AI should run on.**
+
+---
+
+## Why ARVIS Exists
+
+Most AI systems still follow:
+
+```text
+input → model → output
+```
+
+Useful for many tasks, but weak when systems must be:
+
+* reproducible
+* auditable
+* policy-constrained
+* stable under pressure
+* safe with tools
+* trustworthy in production
+
+ARVIS starts from a different premise:
+
+```text
+input
+→ governed cognition
+→ admissibility controls
+→ canonical state
+→ verifiable IR
+→ authorized execution
+→ timeline commitment
+```
+
+Outputs are not assumed valid.
+
+**They must become allowed to exist.**
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Install from source (works today):
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Julien-Lefauconnier/arvis
+cd arvis
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+Run the canonical local quality gate with the same pinned tools and security
+threshold used by CI:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_quality_gate.sh
+```
+
+The security-only slice is available as
+`bash scripts/run_quality_gate.sh security`; Bandit fails on medium- or
+high-severity findings.
+
+PyPI (`pip install arvis`) is planned once the alpha stabilizes.
+
+```python
+from arvis import ArvisEngine
+
+engine = ArvisEngine()
+
+result = engine.ask("Should this high-risk transaction be approved?")
+
+print(result.summary())
+```
+
+Advanced runtime access:
+
+```python
+from arvis import CognitiveOS
+
+os = CognitiveOS()
+
+result = os.run(
+    user_id="demo",
+    cognitive_input={
+        "risk": 0.92,
+        "action": "wire_transfer",
+    }
+)
+
+print(result.summary())
+```
+
+High-risk input is refused before execution:
+
+```text
+Status        : BLOCKED
+Approval Need : YES
+Commitment    : 8642d95cfdb73c16...
+```
+
+> Note (0.1.0-alpha): the gate grades an explicit top-level `risk` scalar —
+> low → ALLOWED, medium → REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION, high → BLOCKED (see
+> `examples/09_multi_run_batch.py`). This risk policy applies only to an
+> explicit `risk` field; a bare text prompt is governed with a minimal
+> projection (REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION), not a full natural-language projection.
+
+---
+
+## Public API Levels
+
+ARVIS exposes two entrypoints:
+
+| API | Intended Use |
+|-----|--------------|
+| ArvisEngine | Recommended developer-facing API |
+| CognitiveOS | Advanced low-level runtime control |
+
+For most integrations, start with:
+
+```python
+from arvis import ArvisEngine
+```
+
+### When to use what?
+
+- Use **ArvisEngine** for application-level integrations
+- Use **CognitiveOS** when you need:
+  - deterministic replay
+  - IR control
+  - pipeline customization
+
+---
+
+## What ARVIS Enables
+
+ARVIS is designed for teams building:
+
+* enterprise copilots
+* regulated AI workflows
+* financial decision systems
+* legal / compliance systems
+* secure internal AI tools
+* autonomous workflows with controls
+* long-memory assistants
+* high-trust AI infrastructure
+
+In these environments, output quality alone is not enough.
+
+Systems must be:
+
+* explainable
+* reproducible
+* governable
+* observable
+* safe under uncertainty
+
+---
+
+## Core Capabilities
+
+### Deterministic Cognition
+
+Same input + same state + same policy = same result.
+
+### Replayable Decisions
+
+Runs can be replayed and verified.
+
+### Governed Outputs
+
+Unsafe or invalid decisions can be blocked before execution.
+
+### Controlled Tool Use
+
+External tools and side-effects run behind authorization boundaries.
+
+Each authorized tool receives a canonical frozen payload and an immutable
+`AuthorizedEffectContext`; it never receives the mutable cognitive pipeline
+context. The syscall boundary compares the current trusted identity with the
+sealed principal, tenant, authentication, service, session, process and run
+bindings before committing an intent. See the normative
+[governed effect path](docs/architecture/EFFECT_PATH.md) and the
+[tool authoring guide](docs/tools/TOOL_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md).
+
+### Explicit Uncertainty
+
+Risk, ambiguity, conflict, and instability become system signals.
+
+### Canonical IR
+
+Every run can emit a structured machine-auditable representation.
+
+### Timeline Integrity
+
+Decisions can be linked to verifiable commitments.
+
+### Runtime Observability
+
+Internal cognition remains inspectable in production.

+
+## Why Teams Choose ARVIS
+
+Because modern AI systems increasingly need:
+
+* controls before execution
+* replay after incidents
+* audit trails for regulators
+* safe tool usage

+* bounded autonomy
+* trustable infrastructure
+
+ARVIS addresses these requirements natively.
+
+---
+
+## Validation
+
+ARVIS is validated like infrastructure.
+
+Current suite includes:
+
+* 1700+ passing tests
+* unit tests
+* integration tests
+* deterministic replay verification
+* adversarial scenarios
+* scheduler fairness tests
+* hashchain integrity tests
+* mathematical invariants
+* runtime robustness checks

+## What ARVIS Does Not Claim
+
+ARVIS does **not** promise:
+
+* universal truth
+* AGI magic
+* perfect reasoning
+* correctness outside assumptions
+* optimality in all environments
+
+ARVIS is about **trustworthy operation under constraints**.
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations (0.1.0-alpha)
+
+This is an early alpha of a deterministic cognitive kernel. What is stable,
+experimental, and out of scope for 0.1:
+
+**Stable (documented, tested):**
+
+* governed decision pipeline and admissibility gate
+* graded risk gate for an explicit top-level `risk` scalar
+  (low → ALLOWED, medium → REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION, high → BLOCKED)
+* deterministic, replayable IR (projection / validity / stability / adaptive /
+  tools axes exposed in the public view) and timeline commitment
+* syscall boundary for external effects, including a governed `llm.generate`
+  path wired end to end
+* tool authorization boundary (per-spec risk budget)
+* sealed tool effect context and receipt-activated single-use capabilities
+* typed runtime error model
+
+**Experimental (present, not part of the stable public API):**
+
+* long-term memory
+* conversation orchestration
+* natural-language input surface — a bare text prompt is governed with a
+  *minimal* projection (REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION), not a full cognitive projection
+* real LLM providers — the governed adapter path is wired end to end, but the
+  bundled provider is a deterministic stub; production providers must be
+  configured via the adapter registry
+
+**Out of scope for 0.1:**
+
+* the full cognitive projection Pi (the 0.1 projection is partial and
+  certification-oriented; sparse inputs receive a minimal certificate)
+* risk gating beyond an explicit top-level `risk` scalar (nested signals,
+  structured tool requests, and free text do not yet drive a full projection)
+* general formal guarantees over arbitrary LLM behavior
+* a frozen public API surface
+
+Formal guarantees apply only to the documented projected domains and their
+assumptions.
+
+---
+
+## Versioning
+
+ARVIS tracks three distinct version axes, each honestly labeled:
+
+| Axis | Value | Meaning |
+|------|-------|---------|
+| Package version | `0.1.0a11` | the distributed artifact (PEP 440) |
+| API version | `0.1` | the public Python API contract (not yet stable) |
+| Standard version | `draft-v1` | the ARVIS decision / IR specification |
+
+---
+
+## Project Status
+
+**`0.1.0-alpha` (preview)** — actively developed with a validation-first
+engineering approach. The public API is not yet stable.
+
+---
+
+## Positioning
+
+```text
+Most AI systems try to generate outputs.
+ARVIS governs whether outputs are allowed to exist.
+```
