A sealed soul attests who the agent is and what it refuses. It does not cover its tools or its model.
Not sealed
Modelnot sealed — whatever the host attaches at run time
Toolsnot sealed — filesystem, git, test runner (swappable)
Permissionsnot sealed — workspace read; write only under gate
Swappable at run time. Provenance of identity is not veracity of the stack underneath.
