Alfred: The Architecture of a Trusted AI Partner

AI disclosure. This work was produced with an agentic AI research apparatus operated by Saluca Labs. The apparatus drafted, searched and analysed under direction. Cristian Ruvalcaba is the human author and is accountable for the content. No AI system is listed as an author or contributor, because authorship entails accountability that a model cannot hold; this disclosure is the credit, and it is deliberately the whole of it.
