Science Runtime Kernel

The science runtime is the kernel for Hordago's governed research flow. It coordinates research phases, evidence package boundaries, and deterministic gate outcomes before downstream reporting.

Kernel Responsibilities

Responsibility Contract
Phase control Runtime phases advance only through explicit policy checks.
Evidence handoff Claims are carried with provenance and gate state.
Scorecard routing Eval results are represented as typed scorecards.
Fail-closed behavior Blocking verdicts take precedence over confidence displays.
