HOW IT WORKs

Modify nothing. 
Extend everything.

Core is a light dependency.

A versioned npm package you install, never fork. Overlays replace behavior at build time so you can always update without fear.

Extend everything.

Overrides live in your layer, not the core. Replace modules and workflows safely.
The foundation stays intact.

Your agents write code.

Specs ship with the repo from day one. Agents write architecture-aware code. 
Changes stay consistent and safe.
