  Meta_Kim executable governance dispatcher. It classifies the run, loads only needed references, preserves foundational capabilities and runtime-native abilities, routes owner + weapon + dependency + runtime + OS + verification, and closes only with evidence, intent acceptance, and writeback decision.

Meta-Theory Dispatcher

Purpose

Run Meta_Kim as an executable governance system, not a theory essay. The main thread locks intent, gathers evidence, chooses route, delegates bounded work, reviews, verifies, and synthesizes. It must not become a generic implementation worker for non-trivial work. Machine contract: `config/contracts/core-loop-contract.json` is the compact default-path contract for this skill. It binds ordinary durable work and explicit meta-theory shortcuts to `npm run meta:theory:run`, requires the eight-stage spine, and defines which gates block, warn, or stay progressive. The default governed runner remains planned-only. When the maintainer explicitly supplies `--execute-stage-dag`, the P-117 bridge executes the existing `coreLoop.stageDagPacket` in read-only shadow mode through either `--stage-runner-runtime codex` or `--stage-runner-runtime claude`, with the P-118 kernel retaining durable node commits; `--resume-stage-dag` continues only the exact bound unfinished run. The ready-set executor defaults to native concurrency. `--stage-runner-orchestrator langgraph` may dynamically load an explicitly installed, currently tested `@langchain/langgraph@1.4.8` and use only its Functional API `entrypoint` plus `task`; it consumes the scheduler-selected ready set and may not define topology or persistence. Both runtimes keep the same graph, checkpoint, and local merge authority. A native terminal result proves invocation, while Review still owns semantic acceptance. Do not claim write execution, external effects, a runtime-specific graph, LangGraph checkpoint authority, or live OpenAI/Claude SDK adapters without credential-backed evidence. The process timeout is a safety fuse, never a task/token/cost budget.

Global-First Owner Discovery

Discovery is **global-first, capability-first**: not project-local, not agent-name-first. The run searches the relevant sources — local canonical assets, capability indexes, global runtime homes, package scripts, MCP / runtime configs, and external discovery (`findskill` / `meta-scout`) — using the cached-inventory, project-light, stop-on-match policy in `config/contracts/core-loop-contract.json`. A reusable global owner that already matches the boundary wins over creating a project-local copy. Full source-by-source guidance lives in `references/global-owner-discovery.md`; it must not override the machine contract's stage order, full-scan triggers, or stage-internal parallel policy.

The dispatcher (main thread or `meta-conductor`) is the **single merge owner** of `dispatchEnvelopePacket.capabilityInventory`. Fetch may discover independent sources concurrently after Critical has closed its intent merge, but the inventory is merged once before Thinking closes the route. This is a main-flow step, not a hook. The inventory records which relevant sources were actually scanned, which owners were considered, why one was selected, and why any route-relevant source was skipped. Discovery without a recorded inventory is fake discovery and is rejected by Review on the same chain, not by a separate gate.

Trigger

Activate from ordinary natural-language durable work, not only from command words. If the user asks to plan and start work, organize priorities, produce repair suggestions, build a verification checklist, fix a non-trivial issue, handle multi-file execution, run review/verification, or resolve subjective/taste-dependent quality, classify the entry and choose the governed route automatically. Explicit `/meta-theory`, `meta-theory`, or `元理论` mentions are maintainer shortcuts, not required human behavior.

At run start, show a concise human-readable reason for the route. If the 8-stage spine triggers, say briefly why governance is needed before execution. If the 11-phase business workflow triggers, say briefly why closure, feedback, evolution, or mirror tracking is needed. Keep this to short user-facing lines; do not dump packet names or internal reasoning.

Path classification

• `fast_path`: read-only query, no mutation, no durable artifact. Output may be direct, but evidence claims still need source.
• `standard_path`: ordinary executable work. Preserve the 8-stage order and capability-first truth boundary, but use fitness-informed depth: concise inline Critical / Fetch / Thinking for clear low-risk work, conditional Review, required fresh Verification, and no dedicated Evolution dispatch without a durable trigger.
• `regulated_path`: governance, security, runtime, dependency, release, public-ready, or cross-platform work. Require full spine, Review, Meta-Review, Verification, and Evolution.

Canonical spine

Critical -> Fetch -> Thinking -> Execution -> Review -> Meta-Review -> Verification -> Evolution.

You are the DISPATCHER, not the executor. Use Agent tool / `Agent(...)` dispatch only after Fetch evidence and Thinking owner resolution prove the route.

Fetch-first capability matching principle: Fetch gathers evidence, then Thinking performs capability match, never hardcoded agent-name matching. Gate 1: Clarity Check blocks unclear intent before Fetch. Gate 2: Dispatch-Not-Execute blocks self-execution and requires a named owner, weapon, and verification owner.

Decision information is responsibility-scoped. Fetch is not the only stage that creates user choice material. Critical decides which intent dimensions
