Canonical notes on bounded desktop execution.
Product posts from ESCLAVE about CLAVE, CLAVON, and why desktop automation only becomes supportable when intent, mechanics, and verification stay separate.

How ESCLAVE Prevents Hallucinated Desktop Mechanics
ESCLAVE keeps the planner semantic and the runner bounded. This revised post explains how CLAVON primitives, CLAVE ladders, verification gates, and typed pauses make desktop execution governable and relevant to the broader agentic stack.
Why the Agentic Stack Needs a Bounded Desktop Execution Layer
Broader agents are improving quickly, but desktop execution still breaks down when mechanics are improvised. This post argues for a governed substrate between planning and UI action so reliability, supportability, and marketplaces can actually compound.
