The architecture: every piece explained
The top strip is declaration. Manifest. Capability schema. Discovery. Version + compat.
The middle row is governance. Policy match. Consent. Deprecation window. Testing.
The lower rows are ops. Audit. Metrics. Ops — governance + registry.

End-to-end: agent publishes signed manifest with 3 capabilities. Registry indexes. Caller queries; policy matches; user consents. Version compat verified. Testing periodically ensures capability delivers.
