# V2 Target Alignment Summary

Status: Post-P6B snapshot

## Where alignment is now strong
- Canonical runtime center exists and owns normalization/preflight orchestration responsibilities.
- Session-first live authority reader is explicit and wired via engine surface.
- Retrieval relation catalog sourcing is canonical-association-first.
- Rolling continuity surface has explicit canonical owner module.
- Schema/model alignment is enforced by tests.
- SpringAI-first framing is explicit with compatibility ingress preserved.
- Legacy poller authority path is hard-fenced by default.

## Still transitional (intentional)
- Some compatibility wrappers remain for migration safety.
- Association bead type still exists for explicit/audit use (policy now edge-primary by default).

## Current architectural posture
From “documented target” to “implemented target with controlled compatibility seams.”
