Brain

The org's decision why-trail — every standing call, who made it, and what replaced what. This is what the fleet reads before it types.

10 decisions

CSV exports must RFC-4180 quote any field with a comma, quote, or newline

Customers open exports in Excel/Sheets; unquoted commas silently shift columns and corrupt data. Quote-and-double-escape every field containing a comma, double-quote, CR, or LF. Line terminator stays CRLF.

Export timestamps in UTC with an explicit offset suffix

Local-timezone exports were ambiguous once shared across regions. Emit ISO-8601 UTC with a trailing offset so a row is unambiguous no matter who opens it. Supersedes decision #96.

Provider-neutral UI — say 'AI workers' / 'the fleet', never a model vendor

Dispatch stays credible and portable by never naming the underlying model providers in the interface. Effort is shown as neutral tiers.

Never claim Kordra 'verifies' or 'finishes' work — frame it as evidence a human judges

The product gathers proof-of-work (tests, a walkthrough, per-candidate results) and RANKS a human's attention. It never asserts a change is correct or done. Every merge is a human sign-off.

Tables must stay interactive (60fps) up to 10k rows

Large lists virtualize; the console never mounts every row. Applies to runs, decisions, and audit tables.

The house model is the verifier, not the generator

Across the routing eval, a single house model under-generated on hard tasks but reviewed candidates well. Use it to select/verify; let a diversified fleet generate.

Fluid best-of-N: triage → difficulty rung ladder → execution-select → escalate

Spend cheaply first, escalate only on earned failure. A behavioral gate climbs the rung ladder; a syntax gate generates a diversified N once, filters broken candidates, and a reviewer suggests a winner for the human.

All token-authorized endpoints must be rate-limited

Any endpoint authorized by a guessable token needs a throttle in front of the row lookup so it can't be brute-forced.

The engine/token plane must run org-scoped, never on the superuser pool

Token-authorized paths bypass row-level security. Every such handler must re-derive the organization from the trusted record (the invite, the seat), never from a request parameter.

Export timestamps in the viewer's local timezone

Original call: show times in the reader's local zone for friendliness. Retired — ambiguous across regions once exports are shared.
