Continuity over fragmentation
The workspace should help preserve momentum instead of forcing a reset every time someone returns.
Human control over automation
The system may recommend, but people approve. Boundaries and records matter.

Confidence comes from working scaffolds, tests, receipts, and honest limits.
Creativity as serious use
Artists, educators, builders, and researchers need tools that can hold long arcs of work.
Operating-system horizon
The long-term direction is OS-shaped, but the current path begins with continuity and usability.
