v6.1 Specification — Layer-to-Package Gap Analysis

This directory contains the v6.1 specification documents derived from a gap analysis between the Atlas graph (source of truth for the a5c agent stack), the actual monorepo packages, and the v6.0 spec documentation.

Source of Truth

The Atlas graph (packages/atlas/graph/) is the canonical source of truth for the agent stack architecture. The 14 stack layers, their node kinds, and their relationships define what the system IS — packages implement what the graph describes.

When a package doesn't match the graph, the package needs to change (or the graph needs a deliberate amendment with a decision record).
