Bundled profiles
The 8.0.0 portfolio contains eight featured workload profiles and four explicitly experimental labs. Every MMO-owned document in this development generation uses schema 8; profiles also require version = "8.0.0". Earlier generations, retired profile IDs, and old catalog keys are invalid, with no compatibility reader, alias, migration, fallback host, or automatic rewrite. External formats owned by Codex app-server, MCP, providers, and Switchyard keep their upstream identifiers. Spawn admission is based only on simultaneous active capacity: terminal, cold-paused, and suspended workers release their role, route, resource, child, and writer slots for later or resumed work, and continuation performs fresh admission.
Every root and Agent-MCP role is hosted by a Codex 0.149.0 app-server on a private Unix socket while executing. Goal roles use token budgets with compiled ceilings; turn roles have no task wall clock. Stall intervals are warnings, not interrupts, and the model is never told to measure time. Per-target controls grants expose only the admitted inspect/trace/steer/interrupt/pause/continue/detach/stop/finalize/compact/respond/effort/fork actions. Cold pause retires MCP hosts while retaining exact threads and evidence; detach leaves them live. Durable events, terminal history, partial results, and isolated patches survive client/controller/provider loss; they do not weaken the role's trust, permission, or verification policy.

Labs are packaged experiments, not recommended defaults. Their README and evaluation suite state the hypothesis, matched controls, and promotion gate.
Every pack contains only static TOML, Markdown instructions, and JSON result contracts. It does not contain credentials, endpoint definitions, Tool MCP server definitions, executable workflow code, or compatibility shims. Exact route-qualified model keys make the model maker, access route, and wire protocol inspectable through the catalog.
