Where do you answer"is the agent allowed to do this?"–one place,orevery adapter?

A Rust-based unified agent substrate called WARDEN is being developed as a scaffold that composes best-in-class subsystems from 64+ repositories. It uses a hub-and-spokes architecture with a single chokepoint for containment, and currently has five anchor stubs with real traits and types. The project aims to avoid rewriting 200 repos by attaching governance, memory, egress, and orchestration at one chokepoint.

A Rust-purist unified agent substrate — a SCAFFOLD (shape, not implementation).

It composes the best-at pattern per subsystem from the june/29 teardown of 64+ repos (governance ← omnigent/coven, memory ← resonant-lattice, egress/ANN/gateway/sandbox ← coder org, orchestration ← windmill, spend ← the hackathon "clamp-the-model" pattern). It does not rewrite 200 repos — it finds the one chokepoint and attaches containment once.

Northstar: everything Rust. Go/TS winners are translated in crate-by-crate; the port-from file:line

sits in each stub's module doc comment, so translation is a lookup, not a redesign.
