Governed agent stack you can fork — 5-spine review with Demo vs Strict labeled, not a 17-product catalog.

Break these before you book a loop.

Demo vs Strict labeled. Free cold starts are not warm SLOs — probe these artifacts before you book a loop.

Spine health

Decision

Hit live /health before the call so cold-start latency is labeled, not surprise.

Signal

Portfolio probes the D1 spine APIs server-side and surfaces warm vs cold honestly.

Limitation

Render Free idle spin-down is real — first hit after idle can take 15–40s.

Strict panel packs

Decision

Panel default is Strict-local packs — not the public Free demo as an always-on SLO.

Signal

AegisAI and Enterprise RAG ship STRICT_PANEL_PACK docs for local / JWT panel paths.

Limitation

Public Free demos stay honesty-labeled; Strict may require local or GCP setup.

Golden path artifact

Decision

Replay ask→RAG→govern→meter without a guided tour when you want a stranger-checkable receipt.

Signal

GOLDEN_PATH.md + latest JSON artifact in the architecture portfolio.

Limitation

Full ask→answer needs API keys; ACF live publish still requires Clerk.

Evidence ledger

Decision

Every portfolio-wide claim should resolve to Verified, Demonstrated, or Contextual.

Signal

/proof marks soft career metrics as Contextual with explicit limitations.

Limitation

Contextual does not mean false — it means primary records are confidential or external.

Govern the agent before it changes the business.

Start with AegisAI (governance), then orchestration, access-aware RAG, and a governed publish path. Labs and curriculum patterns stay in the full catalog — not the panel path.

5-spine review path (4 live + ADR hub)
Canonical case study

AegisAI

Monitor → Govern → Remediate — a runtime control plane for tool authorization, policy violations, HITL approvals, signed audit, and agent registry lifecycle.

Reviewer evidence

Control plane over agent builder — enterprises need governance across fleets, not another chat UI.

Website deploy tools forced through approval_required policy on live platform.

Registry defaults to in-memory on free tier; Postgres path documented for production.

Venkat AI Platform

LangGraph stateful graphs over linear chains — enterprise workflows need checkpoints and HITL.

Case study

Enterprise RAG Platform

Authorization before ranking — vector DB is implementation; access control is architecture.

Case study

AI Content Factory

AegisAI gateway blocks publish until policy allows — side effects never bypass governance.

Case study
Eval discipline

golden-eval-registry — 10 suite kinds with real CI gates

Spine and AgentOps consumers wire critical suites as merge gates: RAG answer + adversarial (Enterprise RAG), harness QA + repo fix (LoopForge), mission gate + collaboration scorecard (AegisLoop), graph HITL (Content Factory), brief gate (Sentinel), triage preference (DomainForge), and router_invariant across VAP, AegisAI, and FinOps. Builds fail on regression — not just fixture validation.
