# arifOS Tool Surface (Layered)

Public naming is semantic-first. The authoritative external execution name is `arifOS_kernel`.

## Public Interface Tools (8)

1. `arifOS_kernel` - core constitutional governance engine and execution authority.
2. `search_reality` - external fact discovery and grounding.
3. `ingest_evidence` - intake of URLs/files/evidence objects.
4. `session_memory` - session context and reasoning artifact memory.
5. `audit_rules` - governance floors and constitutional rule inspection.
6. `check_vital` - runtime health, telemetry, and status.
7. `open_apex_dashboard` - observability and sovereign monitoring surface.
8. `init_anchor_state` - onboarding and continuity anchor.

Compatibility-only aliases:
- legacy internal alias: `metabolic_loop_router`
- legacy public alias: `arifOS.kernel`
- canonical semantic name: `arifOS_kernel`

## Internal / Dev-only Stage Tools

1. integrate_analyze_reflect (111)

## Embedded Reality Stage

Inside `arifOS_kernel` (legacy internal name: `metabolic_loop_router`), arifOS applies an explicit `222_REALITY` verification stage between `333_MIND` and `666_HEART`.

- It is risk-tier aware (ARIFOS_REALITY_REQUIRED_TIERS, default A,B).
- It feeds grounding status/score into judge synthesis.
- It is sealed into vault telemetry for replay/audit in internal diagnostic profiles.
