Summary

AI summary

Public package seeds are now prevented from promoting themselves to runtime authority by setting runtimePromotionAllowed=false.

Full changelog

Hephaestus v0.7.8 restores Super Ontology candidate-only sync invariants while preserving the AO kernel enforced state.

Highlights:

Consensus coordination and capability delegation authority remain AO runtime-enforced seed contracts.
Public package seeds now keep runtimePromotionAllowed=false so candidate-only public exports cannot promote themselves into runtime authority.
Power-user search/call JSON now includes stable schema identifiers for client routing.
Architecture sync passes across public core, Web, Desktop/terminal, AppBridge, and Super Ontology candidate checks.

Validation:

scripts/ao-gate.sh passed: AO lint, AO drift check, 131 pytest tests.
scripts/verify-one-touch-install.sh passed for v0.7.8.
scripts/sync-check.sh passed.
Korean Hephaestus-search smoke returned Hub candidates with fallback intent expansion.
Agentlas.cloud production smoke and Hephaestus MCP verifier passed during this release train.

`runtimePromotionAllowed` flag on public package seeds is now enforced as `false`, preventing candidate-only exports from promoting to runtime authority.
