## v1.0.0 Gate Criteria

**Reference extensions:**
- Notes shipped (all v0.11.x) with UI quality review
- Chat shipped (all v0.12.x) with UI quality review
- At least 3 reference extensions beyond notes/chat

**Composability:**
- `llm-bridge` extends both notes and chat through slots/actions
- Tool meta-tool: AI uses 3+ extension actions in a single turn
- At least 2 panels consumed cross-package
- At least 2 slot contributions per host surface

**Sidecar:**
- Instance sidecar (`armature-embed`) deployed and functional
- User sidecar (`user-bridge`) functional on macOS/Linux/Windows
- Token + mTLS auth both tested
- User sidecar RBAC enforced (permission, capability allowlist, scoping)
- Tool meta-tool includes user sidecar capabilities per-user

**Infrastructure:**
- Admin safety rails validated
- Multi-persona context archetypes demonstrated
- Sharing functional (notes + conversations)
- Headless E2E green on PG + SQLite
- All kernel Starlark modules documented
- All API routes covered by OpenAPI spec
- `armature migrate` CLI functional
- Upgrade path tested v0.8.0 → v1.0.0
- Single-binary + Docker + K8s deployment paths documented
- Monitoring dashboard with kernel + sidecar metrics

## Design Decisions Log

| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Panels as kernel primitive | Z-index, drag, layout are kernel concerns |
| UI/UX-first for reference extensions | Every feature builds on visual foundation |
| Notes → Chat → Libraries → Sidecar | Each builds on proven patterns from previous |
| Chat human-to-human first | AI is llm-bridge's job |
| Folder attributes as extension bridge | Zero coupling between chat and llm-bridge |
| Action registry as tool registry | Installed extensions = AI capabilities |
| 6-layer prompt architecture | Admin safety not overridable |
| Sidecar connect-inward | No K8s RBAC, no service mesh, no DNS discovery |
| Sidecar HTTP/JSON, not gRPC | KISS. 4-endpoint contract |
| User sidecars in v0.14.5 | Prove instance contract first, extend to users with same mechanism |
| Three-layer user sidecar RBAC | Admin controls who + what, user controls visibility |
| Separate polish (v0.15.x) | Security-critical infra and quality-of-life shouldn't share focus |
