  "abstract": "Abstract Autonomous-agent systems commonly ask a language model to choose the next action, maintain memory, interpret tool output, decide when it is finished, and narrate success. Haygent reverses that architecture. A Haygent is a deterministic, contract-bound process that contains narrow intelligence slots. The runtime—not the model—owns control flow, permissions, state packets, evidence gates, repair budgets, replay, and completion. The model may adjust only declared schema fields. Progress exists only when evidence objects satisfy a gate, and exhausted repair produces a truthful HALT rather than a fabricated success.",
