Eve Repository Strategy

Eve is a kernel, not a warehouse.

Ownership

  • Eve owns contracts, CultUI, the browser reference oracle, and minimal core fixtures.
  • EveConformance owns the parity matrix, runner, exported packs, witnesses, and CI orchestration.
  • EvePlugins incubates reusable first-party semantic sidecars; Sai, Norn, and other domain owners take stable semantics into their own repos.
  • Runtime repos own native lowering, platform builds, plugin transport, tests, and captures.
  • Provider repos own state, authored surfaces, assets, commands, receipts, and product scenarios.

Repositories communicate through schemas, advertisements, CultNet/CultMesh documents, packages, and conformance exports. A sibling checkout may support development, but it is never an authority boundary.

Graduation

  • Split a runtime when it has an independent build/deploy lifecycle.
  • Split a plugin when it owns domain semantics and conformance fixtures.
  • Move a fixture when it contains product-specific truth.
  • Publish a package when consumers should no longer depend on source layout.

The useful friction is deliberate: if a generic runtime needs an Aetheria internal, either Eve lacks a generic contract or Aetheria is leaking authority.
