Normalized Telegram record
A local agent is a runtime, not one model
A local agent stack combines models, orchestration, memory, skills, MCP tools, permissions, judges, and output guards.
Signal contract
A local agent stack combines models, orchestration, memory, skills, MCP tools, permissions, judges, and output guards. Local inference is operationally useful only when the surrounding runtime can coordinate work, preserve evidence, constrain actions, and recover from failures. Novelty: notable. Verification: source-inspected. This New Runtime record is an evidence-linked retrieval unit.
