Culsma Documentation
Culsma documents executable laboratory protocol source, validation, plan lowering, runtime artifacts, and replay for the current public kernel release.
This site is organized as a reader path: run a representative protocol, understand the language surface, then inspect the generated execution artifacts and release boundary.

Execution Path
SourceValidationPlanRuntimeReplay
Culsma source is parsed, compiled, validated, typechecked, lowered to a plan, executed by the runtime, and replayed from emitted events. The execution pages describe the artifacts and diagnostics produced along that path.
