This file is the shortest navigation map for the public Ravenclaw repo. Use it when you want to know where to start without reading everything.
Start with:
README.mdDEMO.mdPUBLIC_STATUS.mdQUALITY_SIGNALS.mdPROOF_OF_VALUE.md
That gives you the project shape, the safe public demo path, the maturity status, and the proof surface.
Start with:
INSTALL.mdDEMO.mdREVIEWER_VALIDATION_GUIDE.mdVALIDATION.mdQUALITY_SIGNALS.mdPUBLIC_STATUS.mdscripts/validate_public_install.py.github/workflows/pytest.yml
Use this path to run the local demo scenario first, then separate current claims from checks that can be reproduced locally.

Run bin/demo-bundle --output-dir demo-output --print-summary to generate the
current scoped-ticket lifecycle and review_bundle/. Legacy proof-trace
fixtures remain migration/history material and are not this current entry
path. This direction keeps Ravenclaw Runtime as the proof/reference
implementation, consumes SCLite as the reusable contract-core dependency, and
treats OpenClaw, MCP, and A2A as later carriers, not new protocols. For the
first future carrier boundary, read references/openclaw-adapter-contract-map.md;
before implementation planning, use references/carrier-readiness-checklist.md
and fill references/carrier-readiness-packet-template.md.
Start with:
VERSION_ROADMAP.mdreferences/govengine-wrapper-audit.mdreferences/runtime-state-control-govengine-map.mdreferences/runtime-artifact-ownership.mdreferences/govengine-extraction-readiness-roadmap.mdSTATE_FILES.md
This path separates current Ravenclaw-owned runtime/control state from candidate GovEngine-compatible projections for later package work.
Start with:
REPO_WORKFLOW.mdPUBLISHING.mdCONTRIBUTING.mdVALIDATION.md
This path covers Git identity, clean worktrees, branch cleanup, public snapshot publication, and validation expectations.
Do not treat every file as equally important. Ravenclaw is easier to review when read through a clear path instead of as a raw directory tree.
