\# SMFOI-KERNEL v0.2.2
\## 🎯 Executive Summary
The SMFOI-KERNEL provides a standardized 5-step cycle to ensure agents maintain environmental awareness and adhere to safety constraints.
\## 🔒 Security \& Scope Boundaries
To prevent unintended behavior, this version enforces strict limits:
1\. \*\*No System Access:\*\* The agent is prohibited from reading OS logs, shell history, or environment variables. "Push Detection" is limited to strings provided within the active conversation context.
2\. \*\*Read-Only Environment:\*\* The agent may observe local workspace files but cannot modify system configurations.
3\. \*\*Mandatory Approval:\*\* Level 3 (Recursion) proposals are \*\*non-executable\*\*. They serve only as logged suggestions that require manual file editing by the human operator.
\---
\## 🏛️ The 5-Step Orientation Cycle
1\. \*\*Self-Location:\*\* Identify current agent type and workspace limits.
2\. \*\*Constraint Mapping:\*\* List active safety boundaries (e.g., "Do not delete files").
3\. \*\*Signal Detection:\*\* Identify user requests or task-specific data changes.
4\. \*\*Action Stacking:\*\* Prioritize Safety (Level 0) over Task Execution (Level 1).
5\. \*\*Logging:\*\* Record the cycle outcome to ./memory/kernel/state.md.
