Source-Grounded Assistant Prototype
Defines the approved package-only assistant contract, citation schema, refusal behavior, and non-runtime boundaries.
Navigation Posture
Architecture Notes are user-facing source and backlog documentation for the AI Capability Playbook workstream. The primary navigation points to this HTML index rather than raw Markdown. Source notes remain linked for maintainers and grounding, but this page is the reader route.
These notes do not create runtime behavior, backend services, GUI work, provider execution, connector ingestion, repo migration, generated artifact redesign, policy approval, or production approval.
Source-Grounded Assistant Sequence
Source-Grounded Semantic Explainer
Frames Find, Explain, and Assess behavior over approved package sources and keeps model memory out of source authority.
Proposal Assessment Path
Names proposal review dimensions, finding classes, and the distinction between guidance and approval.
Static Site Chat Proxy Requirements
Records the server-side proxy requirement, source-grounding posture, security boundaries, and deferred persistence scope.
Deployment And Operating Notes
Microsoft-Native Internal Pilot
Separates the reader site, grounding corpus, and interpretation layer for an internal pilot path.
External API Reference Implementation
Defines the reference adapter boundary without approving any provider, model, workflow, or production use.
Workload Model Routing Discipline
Preserves swappable model and provider posture while keeping deterministic checks and token evidence visible.
Playbook Product Architecture
Records the governed package boundary and the relationship between the reader surface, corpus, assistant, and proof environment.
Reader Boundary
The polished route is this HTML page. Markdown files remain source notes and context-pack material. Future product work can add rendered HTML pages for individual notes when an issue requires it, but this issue does not implement #186 current context mode, #187 uploads, #188 whole-site Access, or #189 persistent telemetry.
