Foundation · Included in every tier

The platform contract you never have to think about.

Foundation is the always-on baseline shipped with every Midcore tier. You can’t turn it off — the engine deck, Vibe Coding, Brain, and Project Vault are the substrate every other product reads, writes, and signs against.

The four pieces

Engine deck

The unified runtime that hosts every product surface. Local-first compute, sandboxed Node workers with eval:false, hash-chained audit on every action.

Vibe Coding

The editor-grade agent. Multi-file refactors, contract-aware completion, evidence-grounded suggestions. The thing that makes Code + the IDE useful.

Brain

The local knowledge index. Embeddings, vector search, structured memory — all running on your hardware by default. Cloud only when local can't.

Project Vault

AES-256-GCM encrypted snapshots per project, capsule export with RSA-PSS signatures, tamper-evident audit chain. The container under every artifact.

Why it’s the baseline

Every other Midcore product reads and writes through Foundation. Conscience uses the audit chain. Mind uses the vault for at-rest encryption. Research stores runs and manuscripts in projects. Robotics stores fleet configurations. Close stores ledger snapshots. If Foundation were optional, the platform contract would be optional — so it’s not.

This is also why Foundation costs the same regardless of tier: it’s not a product you buy, it’s the rails everything else runs on.

Deep dives on Foundation components

  • Vibe Coding — the legacy long-form pitch for the editor-grade agent.
  • Project Vault — encrypted snapshots, capsule export, RSA-PSS share tokens.

Pricing

Foundation is included in every paid tier: Starter $19 CAD/mo, Pro $49, Team $99, Enterprise. There’s no way to buy it standalone — pick a tier and Foundation comes with it. See the tier mapping.
