Cross-Cutting Semantics

Kernel Duties

The 11 kernel duties describe the cross-cutting lifecycle governance semantics defined by MPLP. These duties represent responsibilities that span across all protocol modules, ensuring consistent behavior throughout the agent lifecycle.

Kernel duties are descriptive specifications, not certification criteria. They provide semantic boundaries for implementations to reference.
