Terminology guardrail:
md-os/ path != MCP protocol
MCP adapter != all connectors
connector != operating boundary
Canonical disambiguation:
md-os/kb/MCP_BOUNDARY_TERMINOLOGY_MODEL.md
md-os/ is the active operational boundary.
Inside the boundary:
md-os/kb/ defines the stable operating methodmd-os/os/ contains deterministic builders and helpersmd-os/ops/ stores persistent runtime stateConnectors are intentionally generic OS device adapters:
This means the architecture can target any substrate without changing the core operating model. APIs are one substrate, not the boundary of the system.
