Operating Specification AI Runtime Policy Guidance
A short committee brief that explains when a path should use `local_model_first`, `policy_routed_hybrid`, or a stricter high-risk hybrid posture for AI runtime participation.
Audience: Committee members, path authors, runtime builders, and governance reviewers.
Status: Current guidance note aligned to the v0.3.1 draft and reference paths.
What it helps decide
The guidance note turns the AI runtime policy section into a practical authoring and committee decision aid.
- When to prefer `local_model_first`
- When to use `policy_routed_hybrid`
- How to tighten posture for high-risk paths
- What every AI-enabled path must still define
Why it belongs on the hub
The public standard now includes AI runtime policy as a first-class concern, so implementers need a short readable guide in addition to the core normative text.
Use the public standard to shape governed runtime behavior.
The point of the standard is not documentation for its own sake. It is to make packages authorable, reviewable, validatable, and portable enough to drive governed execution.
