+# Muninn
+
+Muninn is Odin's portable local telemetry Verse assembler.
+
+It runs on a device body and publishes a typed CultMesh/CultCache surface for
+what that body can sense or expose locally: screen capture, loopback audio,
+microphones, cameras, and future sensors.
+
+## Authority
+
+- Owner: Muninn owns local telemetry discovery, stream affordance publication,
+  and explicit activation of requested local streams.
+- Inputs: cheap local probes, operator or Verse activation requests, and local
+  capture tools such as FFmpeg or WASAPI helpers.
+- Outputs: `muninn.telemetry_surface.v1` and active `muninn.capture_stream.v1`
+  records.
+- Forbidden writers: daemon startup, Idunn keepalive, Mimir ingest, OBS, Odin,
+  Gjallar, and renderer bodies must not start capture by implication.
+
+## Runtime
+
+```powershell
+cargo build -p muninn-daemon
+muninn serve --store C:\Meta\Odin\state\muninn.telemetry.cc --interval-seconds 15
+muninn --health --store C:\Meta\Odin\state\muninn.telemetry.cc
+```
+
+`serve` is cheap and idle. It publishes affordances and keeps the local Verse
+surface fresh without starting FFmpeg, screen capture, microphone capture, or
+loopback capture.
+
+Activation is explicit:
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\activate-muninn-raven-av-srt.ps1
+```
+
+That Raven activation starts the requested screen and Realtek loopback stream
+and publishes `muninn.capture_stream.v1`. Mimir and OBS are stream consumers;
+they do not own Muninn.
