A doctrine-first engine that renders verdicts. Execution agents act on them via a local MCP server. Every decision is hash-linked, auditable, and verifiable.
The config is law. Every decision traces to a rule. When the market is frightening or tempting, the verdict is the verdict.
Every run produces a cryptographically signed manifest. Every decision is traceable. Nothing is hidden.
Local MCP server exposes verdicts to execution agents. CRITERION hands doctrine. It does not touch capital.
