Purpose
Define the workstation-side contracts that allow SourceOS local surfaces to participate in the Workspace Operation Plane without inventing separate lifecycle/state models.
Context
The April 29 dossier identifies workstation-contracts as the P0 workstation IPC, UI, and conformance contract plane. New SourceOS repos now need local operation bindings: TurtleTerm, BearBrowser, sourceos-devtools, and agent-machine.
Required contracts
- LocalOperationLog contract
- DeviceIdentity and DeviceTrustProfile
- CapabilityProfile for local device, terminal, browser, filesystem, sandbox, local model, and network state
- TerminalSession artifact contract
- TerminalCommand operation contract
- BrowserSession operation contract
- WebCapture artifact contract
- Download/Upload operation contract
- LocalAgentExecution operation contract
- File availability states: local, remote, syncing, conflicted, quarantined
- Local diagnostic redaction contract
- Cross-device resume/provisional artifact ID mapping

SocioProphet/prophet-core-contracts#1
Acceptance criteria
- Local operation contracts map cleanly to WorkspaceOperation, OperationTask, OperationEvent, Artifact, DecisionCard, and PolicyGateRecord.
- Terminal/browser/agent-machine actions cannot create hidden workspace side effects.
- Contracts include validation fixtures for terminal command, browser capture, local agent execution, and file conflict.
- Contracts preserve Linux-first and local-first semantics.
Hard rule
Local-first does not mean policy-free. SourceOS local surfaces must participate in admission, audit, redaction, and operation lifecycle rules.
