Open Mission coordinates five things:

Area Owner
Repository control state Repository Entity and .open-mission files
Live Mission behavior Running Mission instance
Runtime state and dispatch Open Mission daemon
Operator interaction Open Mission surfaces
External systems Git, GitHub, and Agent adapter adapters

The daemon is the live coordination layer. It composes repository state, Mission state, Open Mission connections, and agent adapters into operator-facing views and command routing.

External systems do not leak inward. Adapters translate them into Mission vocabulary.
