Runtime-Neutral Agent Engineering v2.0.0

Runtime-Neutral Agent Engineering v2.0.0

Overview

V2 establishes a runtime-neutral engineering foundation for agent execution.

This release focuses on making agent runtime usage discoverable, verifiable, and controllable without coupling the engineering layer to a specific runtime.

Core capabilities

• Runtime discovery and health assessment
• Capability validation and qualification
• Real-runtime verification
• Verified Runtime admission
• Controlled execution
• Runtime-neutral adapter contracts
• Structured agent collaboration packets
• Execution provenance and safety boundaries

Verification

• 945 tests passed
• 21 tests skipped
• 377 subtests
• CI verified on the release branch
• REAL runtime verification evidence included for Claude Code

Collaboration

V2 establishes the protocol foundation for structured agent collaboration.

Remote transport, distributed collaboration, and full multi-agent network capabilities remain outside the scope of this release and are planned for future development.

V2 → V3

V2 provides the runtime engineering foundation.

Future V3 work may extend this foundation toward:

• Agent identity
• Agent discovery
• Trust
• Remote collaboration
• Multi-agent orchestration

These capabilities are not part of v2.0.0.
