Galen Operations Kernel

Galen classifies runtime health, tracks workflow state, proposes safe recovery actions, emits operational telemetry, and can notify operators through a redacted Telegram interface.

Operational autonomy only

Galen may detect, classify, diagnose, retry, reroute, notify, and request approval. Scientific truth remains in deterministic validators, immutable cycle snapshots, provenance records, claim QA, review gates, and downstream wet-lab evidence.

Runtime Health Model

OK
all critical runtime systems healthy

OK_WITH_WARNINGS
optional provider unavailable
deterministic backend active
cached ingestion fallback used

DEGRADED
explanations, retrieval, embeddings, lineage, or provenance incomplete

FAILED
runtime crash, corrupted snapshot, invalid artifact, orchestration failure

State Machine

blocked
awaiting_review

Telegram Operations

Telegram is an operations interface, not a remote shell. All commands require an allowlisted user. Action commands create signed approval requests for fixed action IDs only.
