Runtime rules at a glance

• Published versions are immutable; only a published version can be started.
• agent_task and review create one work item. debate and vote create min_instances work items. judge creates one.
• condition, loop, human_gate, create_flow_nodes, and end are driven by the runtime. parallel_group and transform currently do no work and produce node.unimplemented_type warnings.
• Nodes in one council share a deliberation only when their config.deliberation_key matches.
• Vote rules live in the vote node config. Debate rounds live in config.max_rounds; generic rework lives in a loop node.
• Only tools policy is enforced for work.* and council.*. Other categories return policy.not_enforced.
• Role output_schema is enforced on work.complete; the version output_schema (harness.set_output_schema) on steps leading into end. Mismatches return output.schema_violation, invalid schemas output.schema_invalid.
• harness.set_context_policy selects work.get_context sections (run_input, role, predecessors, all_steps), strips exclude keys, and caps step outputs with max_tokens.
• Budgets cover run duration, work-item count, reported tokens, and reported cost. An exhausted limit fails the run with budget.exceeded.

Glossary

• Definition — a named template; Version — a draft or immutable published configuration.
• Run — one execution of a Version; StepRun — one pass through a workflow node; WorkItem — leased work for an external agent.
• Proposal — a decision option; Claim — a verifiable assertion; Evidence — supporting or contradicting material; Critique — a reasoned objection and its responses.
• Deliberation — shared council state; Ballot — a vote over its proposals; Decision — a recorded judgement or winning proposal.
• ApprovalRequest — a human decision requested by human_gate or a require_approval tools policy.
• Artifact — a referenced output. create_flow_nodes can materialize a confirmed output.flow_nodes list as real Flownix nodes.
