Building a Verifiable Kernel for Agent Architecture

The author continues to explore making LLM/agent collaboration provably deterministic rather than based on intuition.
This iteration enforces the "dependencies must point inward" rule from Clean Architecture as an structurally unbreakable constraint:
- Using Swift Package Manager module boundaries to prevent same-layer modules from referencing each other.
- Organizing layers concentrically: Kernel, Contract, Compute, Circuit, Infrastructure, and Presentation.
- Emphasizing that static analysis is needed for intra-layer control flow and state access, not just module imports.
The latter half compares the execution model to UNIX pipes: data flows unidirectionally, and .divert can only return to a target pipeline's entry point, preventing state uncertainty from mid-way jumps. The author believes this pipelined design makes LLM-driven development easier to verify and reuse.
