Architecture — Execution Layer
Keon Runtime
The governed execution engine. Enforces policy boundaries, generates Ed25519-signed execution receipts, and ensures deterministic execution for AI systems operating under constitutional governance.
Policy-Bound Execution
Every execution is evaluated against an approved policy version before it begins. Missing or mismatched PolicyHash halts execution.
Deterministic Receipts
Ed25519-signed execution receipts, verified at the schema layer. Canonical JSON (JCS) + SHA-256 hashing ensures deterministic artifact production.
Fail-Closed by Design
Governance failures block execution — not bypass it. If policy cannot be verified, the runtime stops.
Ledger Integration
All governed events are committed to Keon Memory before projections or secondary artifacts. The ledger is authoritative.
