run
The run's entropy and clock declaration · every source of randomness and of time is declared, never ambient. The two dimensions couple: only `ambient × system` (the status quo) and `none | seeded × virtual` (the deterministic states) are legal, and a declared contradiction refuses at parse (NEP-0010). One of 62 words the served contract declares, projected from workflow.schema.json, the same file your editor validates against.

the contract
1 declarationDescriptions are the schema's own; the deeper invariants (value languages and regexes) ride the same projection. A miss is a nika check finding before anything runs.

No gated source on this site speaks run yet. The contract above is the reference, and the register never invents evidence. Try it in the playground: nika check teaches the shape.
