Principles

1. Numbers never come from a language model: prices, packs, on-time scores, carbon, and rules are code.
2. Valio re-checks everything it can (offers, slip, rules, approvals).
3. The kitchen owns its knowledge and keys; Valio owns offers, the order book, and the audit.
4. Diet loads in full every run, never “retrieved by similarity.”
5. Three outcomes with a sentence: order alone · ask a person · stop.
6. Learning cannot change diet or budget without a new signed slip.
7. Open standards at the boundary so others can connect.
