Charters

Use charter as the singular term for authored declarative truth in arifOS.

Canonical Charter Set

• federation.charter.json
• deploy/stack.charter.json
• config/charter/kernel.charter.yaml
• CONFIG/sovereignty.charter.json
• arifosmcp/tool_charter.py
• arifosmcp/tools/charters/tool.charter.json
• docs/reference/spec/mcp.charter.json
• docs/reference/spec/arif.charter.yaml

Do Not Rename

• server.json
• registry.json
• agent.json
• server-card.json

These are protocol and discovery surfaces, not authored charter files.
