Architecture
What decides, what runs, what gets recorded
MasterEngine separates proposal, authorization, and evidence into distinct system roles. No single component holds all three.
“Models propose. The Control Plane authorizes. Durable workflows coordinate. Typed tools execute. PostgreSQL records authority. Evidence proves what happened.”
System roles
Authority flows through one path
Proposals move through a single authorization path. Anything derived — like graph and search views — reads from the record; it never writes authority back into it.
- Authoritative
Control Plane / PostgreSQL
The only application authorization boundary for governed mutations. Cloud SQL PostgreSQL is the record of authority.
- Orchestration
Temporal
Owns durable mission control flow. Workflows stay deterministic; side effects live in activities.
- Derived
Graph / Search
Optional projections that read from the authoritative record. They never write authority back.
- Proposal-only
Models
Generate proposals and information. They do not self-authorize or hold production credentials.
How it works
Governed execution lifecycle
Every governed action in Mission Control moves through the same six stages, from initial proposal to a verified, evidence-backed record.
- 01
Propose
Models and agents draft actions against context — they never execute on their own.
- 02
Evaluate
Policy, tenancy, budget, and risk checks run before anything is reserved.
- 03
Reserve / Approve
Capacity is held and human or policy approval is collected when required.
- 04
Authorize
The Control Plane issues authority. Only then may typed tools proceed.
- 05
Orchestrate / Execute
Durable workflows coordinate steps; typed tools perform the authorized work.
- 06
Record / Verify
PostgreSQL records authority; evidence proves what happened and why.
Honest status
What's live, and what's the target
Mission Control is a live public preview. The Control Plane described here is the architecture target it is built toward — not a separately shipping product yet.
