Research: Kubernetes Runtime Baseline

Objective

Define the transition from state 003 to 004 by introducing Kubernetes runtime deployment.

Inputs Reviewed

• spec.md
• plan.md
• tasks.md
• system/architecture.md
• system/runtime-topology.md

Key Decisions

1. Keep state 003 behavior while changing orchestration to Kubernetes.
2. Support local developer cluster workflows with kind/minikube-compatible manifests.
3. Keep ingress-based access patterns stable for UI and APIs.
