Purpose
Navigator coordinates multi-step operational activities spanning multiple Suite systems while preserving institutional boundaries.
NAVIGATOR · INTEGRATION
Satoshium Navigator Integration
Navigator Integration defines how Navigator coordinates operational workflows across the Satoshium Suite while preserving the independent responsibilities of each participating system.
Navigator does not certify, create SREGs, preserve Chronicle history, create Anchor Integrity References, create Beacon Discovery Signals, or produce Attestations / Trust Statements. Navigator orchestrates the workflows that connect those institutional capabilities.
Institutional Role
Navigator is the Suite institution for Workflow Definition / Orchestration.
Reference-Based Architecture
Navigator references authoritative systems throughout the Suite. Operational authority remains with the originating system.
Workflow Coordination
Navigator organizes multi-step operations into repeatable workflows that can be executed consistently across systems.
Relationship Within the Suite
Navigator coordinates operations across the Satoshium ecosystem without absorbing the responsibilities of the systems it coordinates.
Atlas provides authoritative intelligence.
Certifier performs certification.
Registry creates and governs SREGs.
Chronicle preserves qualifying historical Occurrences through Chronicle Entries.
Anchor preserves integrity through Integrity References.
Beacon governs Discovery Signals.
Attestor governs Attestations, Rule-Constrained Evaluation, and Trust Statements.

Navigator defines and orchestrates workflows.
Atlas Integration
Navigator identifies Atlas records requiring certification, recertification, review, or additional evidence.
Certifier Integration
Navigator may initiate certification workflows while leaving certification decisions entirely to Certifier.
Registry Integration
Navigator may locate Registry Entries requiring registration, lifecycle updates, synchronization, or review.
Chronicle Integration
Navigator may retrieve historical certification events that provide operational context during workflows.
Anchor Integration
Navigator may include integrity verification steps within operational workflows while Anchor remains responsible for integrity preservation.
Beacon Integration
Navigator may request discovery information, certification signals, and discovery metadata during workflow execution.
Attestor Integration
Navigator may initiate trust-related workflows that ultimately produce attestations and Trust Statements through Attestor.
Future Integration
Navigator may coordinate future Suite systems, external references, APIs, datasets, or operational services without owning their records.
Approved Navigator Handoff Contract
The Suite Interoperability Review established the Navigator Workflow Handoff contract as the implementation-level exchange model for Navigator-coordinated institutional work.
Workflow Definition / Execution Context → Handoff → Participating Institution →
Institution Applies Its Own Rules → Institution-Owned Output / Response →
Navigator Records Workflow Result
Handoffs preserve requested action, input references, provenance, authority context, preconditions, expected output class, completion criteria, failure/retry/timeout handling, unknown-state handling, timestamps, and traceability.
Orchestration ≠ Authority.
Workflow State ≠ Canonical Institutional State.
Workflow Failure ≠ Institutional Failure.
Workflow-Specific Sequence ≠ Suite-Wide Architecture.
Workflow State ≠ Canonical Institutional State.
Workflow Failure ≠ Institutional Failure.
Workflow-Specific Sequence ≠ Suite-Wide Architecture.
Workflow Orchestration
Navigator coordinates activities without becoming the authority for the records involved.
Example workflow only: Atlas → Navigator identifies work → Certifier acts → Registry may create an SREG →
Chronicle may preserve a qualifying Occurrence → Anchor may preserve an Integrity Reference →
Beacon may publish a Discovery Signal → Attestor may perform governed Attestation / Evaluation / Trust Statement work.
Workflow-specific sequence ≠ Suite-wide architecture. Not every institution must participate in every workflow.
Workflow-specific sequence ≠ Suite-wide architecture. Not every institution must participate in every workflow.
Workflow Philosophy
Navigator exists because operational processes naturally span multiple institutional systems.
Rather than embedding workflow logic inside Certifier, Registry, Chronicle, Anchor, Beacon, or Attestor, Navigator coordinates those activities while preserving the independence of every participating system.
Independent systems.

Coordinated workflows.
Future Workflow Capabilities
Future Navigator implementations may orchestrate certification, recertification, registry registration, lifecycle updates, historical review, integrity verification, discovery operations, trust workflows, and operational automation.
Navigator coordinates workflows without transferring ownership away from
the systems that perform those responsibilities.
Integration Principles
Orchestration over duplication.
Coordination over centralization.
References over ownership.
Workflow over authority.

Workflow over authority.
Navigator does not own operational data. Navigator makes operational cooperation repeatable.
