ADR 0001 · Record MVP runner scope
What this ADR decides
That the MVP runner path is a deterministic provider-backed certification path by default, not a fully autonomous agent loop. Live model invocation and real side effects ship behind explicit configuration, grants, redacted receipts, and release-gate coverage.
Status: Accepted.
Match public framing to the shipped artifact.
Context
Craik's public framing must match the shipped artifact. The MVP already has case-file assembly, policy envelopes, prompt compilation, receipts, handoffs, work graphs, local memory proposals, Stigmem-compatible reads, and deterministic OpenAI- and Anthropic-shaped provider runner paths. It does not yet perform live model calls, arbitrary tool execution, file edits, or remote Stigmem writes without an explicit grant flow.
Decision
Default runner path
Deterministic provider-backed certification path. Validates contracts and policy boundaries for OpenAI and Anthropic provider families without live calls in tests or demos.
Live invocation
Added behind explicit configuration, least-privilege grants, redacted receipts, and release-gate coverage.
Adapter framing
Codex, Claude, and Gemini adapters documented as prompt-handoff or fixture adapters until they invoke real runners.
Consequences
Honest docs
README and MVP docs lead with the true current surface, not a promise of full autonomy.
Operator command
craik run execute is the operator command for the deterministic MVP runner workflow.
Policy regression
Policy tests include a provider-runner grant boundary check instead of a placeholder.
Future priorities
Live invocation · bounded tool execution · remote Stigmem write promotion · package cleanup. All ahead of broader surface expansion.
Retraction: none active.
Retract this ADR if Craik moves to a different default runner posture (for example, live calls becoming the default rather than an opt-in).
