Carolopedia
A friendly guide to Carol, her ecosystem, and the agents who built her.
📖What it means
Machine-enforceable rules, each stored as a row in the registry -> policies. Every policy has a dotted ID (e.g. P.03.01.01.20), title, description, category, and sub-category. Policies govern the behavior of all agents, droids, and apps in the project. Policies are general principles, not specific recipes (those are cookbook entries).
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Cookbook entry
