// What It Does
Principal is a governance broker for agent messages. Its purpose is to make authority explicit: what an agent may request, what it may execute, and what needs escalation.
The documented pipeline validates a message, checks its authority, routes or escalates it, and records the outcome. Persisted halt state helps preserve restrictions across broker restarts. Scoped and global halt controls are part of the design; this summary avoids assigning conflicting names to release-specific levels.
Reducing the operator’s routine coordination work is a design goal. Earlier planning used a 480-to-15-minute daily operations target; that target is not a measured result and is not used here as proof of achieved savings. Governance works only when connected agents and actions actually pass through its controls.
// Architecture
- 01 →Validate message
- 02 →Check authority
- 03 →Route or escalate
- 04 ✓Record outcome
Messages pass through schema validation and authority checks before routing. Audit records, escalation and persisted halt state provide governance controls.
