+# AGENTS - Scanner Runtime Library
+
+## Mission
+Capture and normalize runtime trace evidence (eBPF/ETW) and merge it with static reachability graphs to produce observed-path evidence.
+
+## Roles
+- Backend engineer (.NET 10, C# preview).
+- QA engineer (deterministic tests; offline fixtures).
+
+## Required Reading
+- `docs/README.md`
+- `docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
+- `docs/modules/scanner/architecture.md`
+- `docs/modules/zastava/architecture.md`
+- `docs/reachability/runtime-facts.md`
+- `docs/reachability/runtime-static-union-schema.md`
+
+## Working Directory & Boundaries
+- Primary scope: `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.Runtime/`
+- Tests: `src/Scanner/__Tests/StellaOps.Scanner.Runtime.Tests/`
+- Avoid cross-module edits unless explicitly noted in the sprint.
+
+## Determinism & Offline Rules
+- Normalize timestamps to UTC; stable ordering of events and edges.
+- Offline-first; no network access in collectors or ingestion.
+- Prefer configuration-driven retention policies with deterministic pruning.
+
+## Testing Expectations
+- Unit tests for ingestion, merge, and retention logic.
+- Use deterministic fixtures (fixed timestamps and IDs).
+
+## Workflow
+- Update sprint status on task transitions.
+- Log design/decision changes in sprint Execution Log.
