Model session cardinality before choosing persistent agent compute

Engineering

AgentCore Runtime Instances extend managed agent sessions to multi-day, specialized compute. An SGL worksheet turns session count, startup tolerance, storage retention, and deletion ownership into a concrete capacity decision.

Give every agent runtime contract a control owner, an enforcement point, and an evidence owner

Engineering

An SGL responsibility matrix assigns each runtime-contract clause to a control-plane owner, an enforcement point, an evidence artifact, and a predetermined failure disposition.
