instance-runtime-read

name	instance-runtime-read
description	Use when you need current runtime facts inside a rendered MathorCup instance. Read .env and project/paper/runtime/paper.env as machine truth, then use runtime contracts as rendered mirrors and never confuse the native bridge with runtime state truth.

Instance Runtime Read

Use this skill whenever current runtime facts matter.

Read order

1. .codex/requirements.toml
2. .env
3. project/paper/runtime/paper.env
4. project/spec/runtime_contract.md
5. project/paper/spec/paper_runtime_contract.md

Truth model

• Machine truth:
  • .env
  • project/paper/runtime/paper.env
  • MEMORY.md
  • project/runtime/task_registry.json
  • project/runtime/work_queue.json
  • project/runtime/event_log.jsonl
• Rendered mirrors:
  • project/spec/runtime_contract.md
  • project/paper/spec/paper_runtime_contract.md
• Native bridge:
  • .codex/requirements.toml
  • .codex/skills/

Consequences

• If .env and a Markdown contract disagree, .env wins.
• If paper.env and a script default disagree, paper.env wins.
• If task_registry.json and memory or chat disagree, task_registry.json wins for task state.
• .codex may guide reading order, but it does not own runtime truth.
