📖What it means
The track's work is ABOUT an estate — monitoring it, auditing it, governing it, billing it. Re-use does not mean copying code; it means pointing the same machinery at the PROJECT'S own records. Those records are the estate kernel: the project's own registry, scheduler, run-audit store and backlog. So an estate-bound track refuses until the project has a kernel, and deploys once it does.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: seam-refactor
A different blocker entirely — hard-coded facts, not missing records. Installing a kernel does not help a seam-refactor track.
Not: estate kernel
The kernel is the four platform stores a project needs; estate-bound is the grade describing tracks that require them.
🧭The nuance
Kernel-first ordering: the blueprint enablement refuses an estate-bound track by name while the project has no kernel, and that refusal is the law working, not a fault.
