abstract: >-
  fak is an agent kernel: one static Go binary that sits in front of AI agent
  loops and treats every tool call as a syscall. It keeps long sessions
  cache-efficient, routes work per call, can run local GGUF models in-process,
  and records an auditable verdict for every tool call. The same checkpoint also
  carries reviewable policy, result quarantine, and mid-run causal KV-cache span
  eviction that is bit-for-bit exact against a reference run (max|delta| = 0),
  so self-hosted LLM agent fleets can reuse shared work without giving the model
  unilateral authority over external effects.
