# Vinculum Loop — the autonomous, governed dev loop for any project
Two pieces work together. Keep them distinct:
1. **The loop = orchestration.** The [`dark-factory-build`](../dark-factory-build/SKILL.md) skill + the Workflow tool. This is what actually *runs*: mission → discover → PO → design → TDD build → deploy → test → ship — autonomously, sub-agent-fanned, Promise-Theory-verified. Works on any project today.
2. **The substrate = trust / provenance (optional, not in this package).** A separate, harness/LLM-agnostic signed-provenance layer can record every decision/action as a hash-chained, append-only ledger entry. It is **not bundled here and not required** — the loop runs fully without it. Enable it later only if your org wants cryptographic provenance.
> You **run** the loop with `dark-factory-build`. The signed-provenance substrate is an optional layer underneath — the loop's correctness rests on Promise-Theory verification, not on signing.
## When to use
- "Give me a mission objective and full autonomy" → the 2-trigger contract.
- "Run the loop / vinculum loop on `<project>`."
- Any non-trivial build you want done end-to-end: evidence-gated, ticketed, documented.
## The contract the loop guarantees (the VR invariants)
- **VR-5 — 2-trigger notify:** come back only when the **objective is met** or **blocked on all fronts**. No step-wise check-ins.
- **A/B/C decisions:** **A** = hard blocker → escalate · **B** = reversible → decide + log · **C** = "is it done?"
