Actors and Authority

Status: experimental, pre-1.0. This layer models collaboration-relevant actors and permissions. It is not a biography store, surveillance system, authentication provider, or inference engine for personality and motives.

identity is a standalone layer for:

• humans, teams, organizations, agents, and roles;
• decision, approval, delegation, override, and stop authority;
• access, spending, mutation, and privacy boundaries;
• declared responsibilities, incentives, risks, and escalation rules.

npx architectonic@latest init actors --preset identity --source npm

Use it when the material uncertainty is who may do what. A project or constitution is not required unless those concerns also need durable structure.
