Core Stack
| Layer | Plain role |
|---|---|
| Corpus | The memory records and evaluation material |
| Substrate | The compact shared routing map miners improve |
| Retrieval router | Decodes the substrate and builds candidate memory packs |
| Reranker | Scores query and document pairs with pinned Qwen weights |
| Coordinator | Serves /coretex/*, evaluates submissions, signs V4 receipts |
| Keyless scorer sidecar | Optional scoring venue with no coordinator signing key |
| Contracts | Pin roots, settle receipts, and expose epoch context |
| Validator client | Replays accepted advances from public chain data |
The default @botcoin/cortex package is the validator surface. Coordinator-only code stays behind explicit coordinator imports.
