Status: Draft 1.0 — Forward-looking specification and gap analysis.
This document is not a reverse-engineering report and is not a claim that the reference implementation already satisfies every requirement. It defines the target architecture for a production-grade, provider-neutral Semantic Execution System (SES), identifies the capabilities that remain to be specified or developed, and gives concrete acceptance criteria for future implementations.
The reference implementation may be used as an informative experiment, but the standard is the authority. Where the implementation and this specification differ, the implementation is considered incomplete until it is brought into conformance or the standard is deliberately amended.
Normative terms MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, and MAY have their usual standards meaning.
Semantic systems can amplify tiny inputs into enormous retrieval, graph, planning, or execution workloads. Resource governance MUST therefore begin before provider execution.
A mature implementation SHOULD budget:
Static limits alone are insufficient. The future standard needs adaptive cost estimation, tenant fairness, priority, backpressure, cancellation propagation, and budget accounting across distributed components.
Every executable operation MUST have a bounded resource envelope or an explicit administrative profile permitting unbounded behavior. Exceeding a src/csharp/security/resource budget MUST stop expansion safely.
