Why this page exists #

Honors record · completed staged integration checkpoint

This page captures the Mirror system after the full documented staged integration stack was assembled into one preserved integration branch. The core runtime already existed; this checkpoint records how the human-facing layers, user utility seams, GUI starter lane, and voice reminder starter lane now sit together as one cohesive system without widening into premature product expansion.

Execution truth
Gateway, adapters, policy, actions, and runtime remain canonical
User truth
Read seams, create actions, and console consumers are assembled on one UI API spine
Starter truth
GUI and voice are integrated as starter contracts, not full product runtimes

What each band means #

How the integrated stack is layered after steps 1 through 6
🚪
Entrypoints / Hosts

CLI and service entrypoints are the doors. They launch the integrated Mirror system but do not own business logic themselves.

⚙️
Core Runtime

mirrordaemon, runtime host, provider plane, sync, and observability hold runtime truth, sessions, events, and health.

🛡️
Execution Plane

Gateway, adapters, policy, actions, runtime, and tools form the canonical execution path for chat and tools.

🗂️
State / Domain Plane

Workspace, task, and reminder layers keep personal state and utility flows grounded in file-backed, user-scoped storage.

📡
Contract Surfaces

UI API and console are the explicit human-facing seams over the system. The UI API is additive and discovery-driven.

🌱
Starter Lanes

GUI and voice are integrated as starter contracts/helpers only. They intentionally stop before full renderer/runtime/provider expansion.

User-layer spine #

The main human utility seam assembled across steps 3 and 4

Read seams

  • Heartbeat
  • Reminders
  • Recent session
  • Profile
  • Preferences
  • Monk context
  • Notes
  • Drafts
  • Task list
  • Workspace summary

Create seams

  • Task create action
  • Reminder create action

These write seams were merged by preserving the assembled read spine and unioning staged write intent without redesigning the API shape.

Starter lanes are real, but intentionally narrow #

The most important discipline rule in the integrated stack

mirror-gui

  • Boundary doctrine
  • View-model contract
  • Data-source contract
  • HTTP data source
  • Starter model loader
  • Discovery bootstrap
  • Presentation contract
  • Continuity dashboard contract

No renderer, no windowing/runtime choice, no mutation-flow invention.

mirror-voice-adapter

  • Boundary doctrine
  • Ingress/egress transport contract
  • Canonical chat and tool envelopes
  • Canonical bridge coverage
  • Tool-response egress helper
  • Reminder query/create helpers

No Alexa skill, no provider integration, no STT/TTS pipeline, no voice-specific runtime path.

Core integrated flows #

The main request/data paths now present in one assembled branch
💬
Chat / Tool execution

Client → service → gateway → adapters → policy → runtime/actions → provider/tool registry → response, with daemon and observability spanning the path.

📘
User-layer reads / writes

UI API → workspace manager + task/reminder managers → typed summary envelopes and task/reminder created envelopes on one additive discovery spine.

🪟
Console consumption

Browser console stays a consumer shell over UI API, gateway, sync, ops, and graph surfaces rather than becoming the source of truth.

🧭
GUI starter flow

Discovery bootstrap → HTTP source → model loader → presentation / continuity dashboard structures. The renderer is intentionally deferred.

🎙️
Voice starter flow

Voice ingress → canonical chat/tool envelopes → adapter bridge → runtime/tool response → voice egress, with reminder helper builders for lookup and create flows.

🧱
Shared seam rule

When branches touched shared seams, merges preserved the assembled spine and unioned staged intent instead of redesigning APIs.

Complete now vs intentionally deferred #

What this checkpoint is — and what it is not

Complete now

  • Docs/doctrine anchors
  • Policy hardening chain
  • User-layer read seams
  • User-layer create actions
  • Console consumers over read seams
  • GUI starter contracts
  • Voice starter contracts/helpers

Deferred by design

  • Full GUI renderer/runtime/component tree
  • Desktop runtime choice
  • Richer GUI state model
  • Alexa skill implementation
  • Provider-specific voice integration
  • STT/TTS pipeline
  • Any new lane beyond the staged stack

Why this checkpoint matters #

Why the integrated stack is a milestone, not just a pile of branches

The integrated stack matters because it turns scattered staged work into one preserved system branch with clear boundaries: canonical execution stays in the gateway/action/runtime path, personal utility lives on an additive user-layer UI spine, the console becomes a true consumer shell, and GUI/voice expansion now has disciplined starter contracts to build from later. It is the difference between ideas queued in branches and one coherent architecture standing in the repo.

System center
Gateway + policy + runtime remain canonical
Human utility
User reads/writes are assembled and test-covered
Growth discipline
GUI and voice can grow later without breaking the center
