1//! Primitive P1: the single syscall trap boundary.
2//!
3//! M0 scaffold (see `.local-docs/specs/agent-os-three-primitives.md`): types + conversions
4//! only — **no wiring, no behavior change**. A later milestone (M2) generalizes
5//! [`crate::governance::pipeline`] so its request becomes [`Syscall`] and its result becomes
6//! [`Disposition`], and routes spawn / page-in / write-memory through the same gate (today they
7//! bypass governance entirely).
8//!
9//! Concept overlap this primitive collapses: the two parallel decision vocabularies
10//! ([`crate::types::policy::GovernanceVerdict`] and `SignalDisposition`). Tool/spawn/memory
11//! decisions converge on [`Disposition`]; signals feed the P2 scheduler instead.
