From c7d54d947c25547ab7ceb2ccafc013c03d417737 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 18:37:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(arch): autonomous evolution of agentic and microkernel blueprints Refactored `agentic-architecture` and `microkernel-architecture` into modular blueprints (`data-flow.md`, `folder-structure.md`, `implementation-guide.md`, and `trade-offs.md`) complying with Zero-Approval guidelines. Fixed string escape characters.
