centaur_has_test_runner now recognizes test.sh/run-tests.sh and *.bats suites, so bash-only projects (Centaur itself included) no longer report a missing test runner. centaur-health routes through the shared helper instead of duplicating the detection, removing the divergence between the two.

…ngineer The engine project is software-engineer (singular, github.com/demwick/ software-engineer), not the plural software-engineer-agents, and its runtime state directory moved from .sea/ to .se/. Update the centaur-init and centaur-health probes, the integration label / signal / metric field (sea -> se), the skill docs, and the tests in lockstep. The validate guardrail now asserts standalone positioning instead of the retired single-product language. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the single-product framing with the three-layer model: software-engineer (engine), claude-charter (constitution), centaur-layer (brake). Document Detect & Defer (each layer standalone, defers to a detected peer, never requires it), and clarify the boundaries Centaur owns: diff-risk scoring and the human-comprehension check fire at accept/commit time (the engine warns forward at planning time); Centaur's guardrail is the pre-commit surface (charter's is PreToolUse); and centaur-check questions the human, not the machine.

Aligns Centaur Layer to the three-project ecosystem (engine / constitution / brake) and folds in a test-runner detection fix found while dogfooding.
What changed
Ecosystem alignment (Detect & Defer)
Engine name corrected:
software-engineer-agents(wrong plural) →software-engineer(github.com/demwick/software-engineer) everywhere.Engine state dir: the probe moved
.sea/→.se/(the engine relocated its runtime state). Integration label / health signal / metric field renamedsea→sein lockstep;.centaur/is untouched.Composition language → Detect & Defer. README's "single product you install" framing replaced with the three-layer model:
software-engineer(.se/)claude-charter(.claude/)centaur-layer(.centaur/)Each layer is standalone; when one detects another it defers that concern instead of duplicating it; none requires the others.
Boundaries clarified in README — no overlap between layers:
centaur-checkquestions the human; charter/verify+ engine verifier validate the code.Dogfood fix (found running Centaur on its own repo)
