# Research: Platform Convergence C3

## Objective

Define state `012` as a C3 convergence checkpoint on top of state `011` without introducing new runtime behavior.

## Inputs Reviewed

*   `spec.md`
*   `plan.md`
*   `tasks.md`
*   `system/architecture.md`
*   `system/runtime-topology.md`

## Key Decisions

1.  Reuse the complete runtime and functional baseline from state `011`.
2.  Keep convergence as metadata/documentation, not a runtime fork.
3.  Preserve functional behavior and external API expectations from predecessor state.
