Re: Conformance cases for mid-task halts

Hi Tymofii,

Thank you for the invitation. I read through the PRINCIPLES.md and the
issue thread, and the philosophy aligns perfectly with why we built NTI.

Vendor-neutrality, independent verifiability, and ensuring no captured
system defines truth are the exact principles driving the NTI-1
specification.

On behalf of the NTI contributors (including our initial TSC members), we
would be honored to join the Federation. Keeping our own code, roadmap, and
license while building the shared layer together is the exact model the
machine economy needs.

I will have the NTI team join the
aeoess/agent-governance-vocabulary/issues/177 thread today and introduce
our architecture to the other projects in the federation.

Let's build the shared layer.

Best,
Abisheak
