Architecture overview

Skeleton and Core

Starfort splits into two layers:

Skeleton — the framework layer: everything users and administrators interact with.
- User Section — Desktop App and Guard API: entry points for employees and applications.
- Admin Section — Citadel and Opticon: policy, permission, and monitoring surfaces.
Core — the execution engine: Guardian + the AI Model Pool (SLM / VLM / OCR served on VLLM / SGLang).

TODO — insert architecture diagram (Mermaid) showing the four quadrants and the flow between them.

TODO — describe what happens on a single Guard API call:

Guardian Bastion receives the request

TODO — API key verification, InputType judgment, Settings validation, Policy lookup.

Async Opticon input logging

TODO

Guardian runs analysis

TODO — policy evaluation + AI Model inference.

Guardian Bastion returns the result

TODO — summary response + async Opticon output logging.

TODO — one-codebase model; model availability, Desktop App availability, and global configuration differences.

Global → Company → Organization → Project structure.
