The executable spine beneath every module.
Sprint 33 integrates Coordination Operating System materials into TraceScript: the Governed Signal Kernel, trace lifecycle, recovery, and contradiction substrates — the trunk that product modules compose through.

System family hierarchy
Coordination OS is the operating environment. TraceScript is the governance runtime inside it. Product modules (believe / say / do) are branches — not replacements for the kernel.
raw input → GovernedSignal → GovernanceDecision → Trace (phase / influence boundary) → ReplayReceipt → CoordinationState update → memory / canon / disclosure / action / recovery paths
Trunk corpus
Nine documents — architecture specs, build plan, conformance suite, patent addendum, companion kernels, and buyer whitepapers.
Canonical map in repo: TRACESCRIPT_TRUNK_ARCHITECTURE.md.
RC1 alignment
The shipped runtime already walks the kernel path: ingest signal → integrity evaluate → receipt → replay. Sprint 34+ makes GovernedSignal, GovernanceDecision, and trace-phase influence explicit in contracts and orchestrator.

Trunk architecture sits above the language foundation corpus (paradigm, specs v0.1–v0.5, Code Medium). Read both for the full TraceScript family tree.
