# IB-WP-0010 — Kontextual Engine Integration Boundary

## Goal

Define and implement the boundary where concrete infospaces can use
`kontextual-engine` for durable knowledge operations without making
`infospace-bench` an engine.

## Tasks

### T01 — Engine capability contract

```task
id: IB-WP-0010-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "f77c10cf-6ea2-44a6-af0b-f9c70860b999"
```

- Identify engine capabilities needed by infospaces: asset identity,
  provenance, relationships, retrieval, workflow runs, permissions, audit
- Define what stays file-backed versus engine-backed
- Record assumptions against `kontextual-engine/INTENT.md`

### T02 — Repository adapter design

```task
id: IB-WP-0010-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "bd20ddaa-c37d-4ec0-af4e-45198172e6f8"
```

- Design an adapter interface for asset persistence and retrieval
- Provide a local file-backed implementation as the default
- Leave room for a `kontextual-engine` client implementation

### T03 — Sync and provenance model

```task
id: IB-WP-0010-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "12ffd95b-6db2-4881-bc3c-6bc4f9f3cc21"
```

- Define how infospace artifacts map to durable engine assets
- Preserve source path, artifact ID, version/digest, derived outputs, and
  workflow provenance
- Add dry-run sync planning before mutation

### T04 — Agent-safe operation notes

```task
id: IB-WP-0010-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "fe1031d6-0b48-4fa1-9edd-3b1908a62003"
```

- Define which operations require review, dry run, or rollback
- Align with engine governance and audit principles
- Document the first safe integration scenario

## Acceptance

- `infospace-bench` has a clear engine adapter contract
- The default remains file-backed and testable
- Engine-backed persistence is designed as integration, not repo identity
