Institutional Agent Runtime (IAR)

Thesis

Execute bounded engineering work under explicit authority with isolated candidates, deterministic validation, machine-readable evidence, rollback and human ratification.

Discovery

• Build Capsule architecture and mutation/verification/rollback model are concretely specified.
• Windows runtime evidence shows isolated candidate execution, receipts, verification and rollback behavior.
• Canonical mutation/promotion was explicitly prevented in reviewed failure paths.

System

governed agent runtime. Relationship to ZANDELA: foundational execution infrastructure.

Build

The retained corpus records this as working experimental runtime. The surface does not infer a stronger implementation state.

Evidence

Evidence level 4 of 4.

• Retained source: SRC-IAR-CAPSULE-PILOT
• Retained source: SRC-IAR-RUNTIME-EVIDENCE

Failure / Correction

Open boundaries remain part of the record.

• Final production-grade capsule distribution/integrity boundary.
• Complete filesystem/process/network isolation is not proven by retrieved evidence.

Authority

ready with boundaries. Public claims remain bounded by the retained evidence.

• Do not claim production-grade sandbox isolation or malicious-admin tamper resistance.
• Do not describe reviewed failed candidates as promoted or canonical.
• Preserve unresolved link/symlink, lifecycle and integrity findings where applicable.

Current State

Next Authorized State

Further work requires new retained evidence and human review. No later state is implied by this presentation.
