Gateware

This work defines a reproducible, governance-conform gate and operator framework for cloud-agnostic logic agents in the German SME context. It specifies structural constraints, responsibility boundaries, escalation logic and explicit non-capabilities to ensure compatibility with German liability law, tax law, professional regulations and audit requirements. The framework is purely structural and conceptual. It provides no implementation, execution, automation or decision authority. All decisions remain exclusively with human actors.
