Control plane architecture

Request lifecycle

• Understand: normalize task, objective, risk, and constraints.
• Filter: remove paths that violate policy, capability, privacy, region, or availability.
• Select: rank the remaining model-provider pairs.
• Execute: run the bounded strategy.
• Evaluate: apply configured validators or require review.
• Record: retain route, usage, policy, and evaluation evidence.

Responsibility boundaries

MC-1 controls intelligence selection; eligible models and providers perform inference. Applications remain responsible for user authorization, domain validation, and the consequences of applying model output.
