AIKernel.NET

AIKernel.NET is a specification-first repository for Semantic Context OS contracts. The src tree contains the canonical specification projects that define interfaces, DTOs, enums, and external boundary contracts.

  • Vfs → Abstractions

Notes on Decomposition

  • AIKernel.KernelContext project has been decomposed and moved into AIKernel.Dtos.KernelContext (models) and AIKernel.Abstractions (contracts).
  • AIKernel.Events project has been decomposed and moved into AIKernel.Dtos.Events (models) and AIKernel.Abstractions.Events (contracts).
  • Concrete runtime implementations are out of this repository scope and belong to AIKernel.Core.

Testing

  • src/tests/AIKernel.Abstractions.Tests: spec-alignment and interface-composition tests.

AIKernel.NET v0.0.2 — Interface Rectification & Contract Stabilization Release

May 9th —
The day the Kernel received its proper names, boundaries, and Phase 1 slots.
5月9日 — Kernel に正しい名前・境界・Phase 1 の抽象スロットを与えた日。

This release is a structural refinement release for stabilizing the AIKernel.NET abstract contract layer before v0.1.0.

Key changes:
- Normalized acronym-based identifiers according to .NET naming conventions.
- Renamed AIKernel.VFS to AIKernel.Vfs.
- Renamed IROMCanonicalizer to IRomCanonicalizer.
- Refined contract purity and immutable contract boundaries.
- Split provider contracts by capability.
- Split embedding abstractions into ITextEmbeddingProvider / IBatchEmbeddingProvider / IEmbeddingDimensionProvider.
- Extended provider capability metadata for query-processing and embedding.
- Added Phase 1 Query Processing abstractions:
 - IQueryAugmentor
 - IQueryDecomposer
 - IQueryRouter
 - QueryPart
- Clarified that RAG remains a provider / pipeline strategy, not Core retrieval.
- Updated README, architecture docs, pipeline specs, provider docs, capability docs, query docs, and migration guides.

Verification:
- dotnet build src\AIKernel.NET.slnx succeeded.
- dotnet test src\tests\AIKernel.Abstractions.Tests\AIKernel.Abstractions.Tests.csproj --no-build succeeded: 73 tests passed.

This release changes little runtime behavior, but significantly improves the ABI surface before v0.1.0.

Names define boundaries.
Boundaries define contracts.
Contracts define execution.
