+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+# Nitelos
+
+**Verify the outcome, not the attempt.**
+
+Nitelos is a Python SDK that checks whether an agent's success criteria are supported
+by evidence you supply — normalized observations, screenshots, actions and
+host-authorized external reads. It never acts on the agent's behalf: no clicks, no
+network fetches, no retries. A result is a time-scoped judgment over explicit
+criteria, not a transaction guarantee.
+
+## What "verified" means here
+
+Verification is scope-relative. A criterion says exactly what final condition must
+hold, for which subject, at which checkpoint — and Nitelos reports
+`success`/`failure`/`abstained` **for those criteria against that evidence**:
+
+- A **deterministic assertion** (JSON pointer + equals/in/exists over a normalized
+  observation) is fully checked by the SDK: `supported`, `refuted` or `unknown`,
+  with the exact evidence references that decided it.
+- An **external** criterion additionally requires a host-constructed
+  `TrustBinding` — imported JSON can never authorize its own external claims.
+- A **visual** criterion (optional, experimental) is decided by a local
+  image model only when you explicitly opt in; every such result is labeled
+  `model_inferred` and carries the `VISUAL_GROUNDING_UNVERIFIED` limitation.
+
+Missing evidence abstains. Contradictions become unknown. A tool reporting
+"completed" never proves an outcome.
+
+## Quickstart (deterministic, offline)
+
+```python
+import hashlib, json
+from nitelos import Verifier, canonical_json, parse_request

+observation = {

+                    "id": "no-errors",

+                    "scope": "observed_state",
+                    "evidence_ids": ["obs-form"],
+                    "subject": {"form": "registration-1"},

+        }
+    )
+)
+
+result = Verifier().verify(request)
+print(result.decision)  # success | failure | abstained (or None on execution errors)
+```
+
+The default is a plain `Verifier()` with the strict `VerificationPolicy`
+(model inference disallowed); screenshots arrive via `Evidence.screenshot(...)`
+plus a raw-bytes mapping, and `ArtifactStore`/`TrustBinding` cover the
+image-store and external-trust cases in the guides below. Field names follow
+the schema-1 `VerificationRequest` contract.
+
+See [examples/quickstart.py](examples/quickstart.py) for the runnable script and
+[docs/quickstart.md](docs/quickstart.md) for the walkthrough. The agent-summary
+demo — a claim of success refuted by a `validation_error` observation — is
+[examples/demo_incomplete_form.py](examples/demo_incomplete_form.py); the
+pending-external abstention is
+[examples/demo_external_pending.py](examples/demo_external_pending.py).
+
+## Deterministic vs experimental
+
+Everything in the quickstart is deterministic and offline: assertions, eligibility
+(subject/checkpoint/freshness/phase), trust bindings, aggregation and every error
+code. The optional local visual backend (SmolVLM) is **experimental**; its
+executability gate is under review, and it is disallowed by the default policy.
+No benchmark numbers are published yet — evaluation runs have not been executed.

+**Status: planning complete; implementation not started.** Baseline 2026-10-14. This directory specifies the first release of Nitelos: **Verify the outcome, not the attempt.** No application source, models, installed dependencies or test results accompany this plan.
+
+## Recommended reading order
+
+For project review: 00 → 01 → 09 → 02 → 03 → 05 → 14. For GLM 5.3: read 11 and 10 after those foundations, then 04/07/08/12; read 06 before evaluation work. Start implementation at **NIT-001**, only in a separately authorized implementation phase. Do not start from the future roadmap.

+
+## Authority and conflict resolution
+
+User-approved scope/instructions take precedence. Within this baseline: document 09 defines what ships; document 03 defines public schemas and errors; document 05 defines evidence/decision semantics; document 07 defines security boundaries; document 06 defines scientific metrics and dataset protocol; document 04 defines the chosen adapter behavior. These documents govern within their domains. Document 14 explains the decisions. The roadmap/handoff/testing documents operationalize them; summaries and pseudocode cannot override normative tables.
+
+If two normative requirements genuinely conflict, GLM must record the contradiction and proposed resolution in an ADR amendment and request architectural approval before changing the contract. Do not silently choose the more convenient interpretation. Routine implementation details within the documented contract can be resolved autonomously. Cross-document links are relative for portability.
+
+## Decisions to understand before coding
+
+ADR-001 modular package; ADR-002 execution/decision separation; ADR-003 evidence list and host-bound external trust; ADR-004 fixed assertions/conjunction; ADR-005 advisory visual inference; ADR-006 experimental local SmolVLM; ADR-007 no calibrated confidence at launch; ADR-008 sync backend with bounded async facade; ADR-009 reuse existing ecosystems; ADR-010 authored reproducible fixtures before real-world claims.
+
+## Scope of examples and research
+
+All interface examples are non-executable specifications. Shell commands describe future implementation verification, not commands run during planning. Candidate dependency versions are observed metadata, not a tested lock. Research was current at access time and must be revalidated when locking release dependencies. Local model accuracy, latency and calibration have not been measured. MK-SH-V is future-only and has no released final checkpoint assumed by this plan.
