Architecture

Zinc is a host runtime.

Boundaries

• CLI commands parse user intent and load settings.
• Runtime planning chooses needed parts from value wiring.
• Package resolution maps alias.asset to installed package assets.
• Adapters are executable assets with the zinc.adapter capability.
• The store records docs, runs, parts, values, text, and package installs.

Determinism

Parallel workers do not mutate the parent value map. Each worker returns a result draft. The parent commits drafts in plan order.
