Orchestrator
The shot never names a vendor. It names what it needs. Capability, capacity, state, authorization, and production knowledge decide the rest. PRESENT is not AUTHORIZED. A hypothesis is not an observation.
Cognition is not a spender. Grok writes the spec, the prompt, the diagnosis. Execution is a different rail.

Runway Aleph 2.0present
Edit is not origin. Wired. Not admitted. A fossil must remain a fossil after the edit.

Not a generator. The creator named what already exists. QC the object. Do not regenerate what already satisfies.

MNEMOS Sentinelactive
Not a generator. Not Astra. Not an approver. Reads the fossil record. Grok may compile a reading; the human decides.
