August is the month the army splits — and it is a good split.

A platform that keeps everything in one fortress eventually becomes a prison. The design system extracts into its own package (adp-ui, with measured coverage thresholds and axe tooling — IP-OUI-11.3), the transport layer follows (adp-client), and the legacy Mantine shim is put down for good (IP-OUI-11.5). Ports, not platforms: packages that outlive the monolith that taught them what to be.

NOW SHIPPING — llm-proxy. The gateway hardens into a product: a context-budget stage extracted clean from the dispatcher (2fe88eb), an admin SPA with a proper fallback handler (15fdc8b), model routing that answers to cost governance rather than optimism. One socket in front of every model — local MoE or cloud frontier — with budgets that mean something. The gateway is open.

And on the far ridge, barely visible: the first commits of a Quest 3 client. Unity 6, passthrough mixed reality, and a decision that will define the next two months — ADR-SCP-002, the engine is an adapter. The domain core is engine-free C#, compiled twice, tested with no Unity installed. If the engine leaked into the core, the build would refuse to compile.

Meanwhile the catalog completes its great authoring campaign: 47 of 47 agents (bdbf1a8), the capability-descriptor emitter validated (8c0dd2d), and the vault records the uncomfortable discoveries — the ADR-SCP-005 scanner evaded four ways, proven (663398dc). Evidence-anchored claims are only interesting when the evidence says you were wrong.

1,887 commits. Three fronts, each with its own banner. The Long March calls.
