| 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
.codex/requirements.toml
.env
project/paper/runtime/paper.env
project/spec/runtime_contract.md
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.
