+
+## Key Findings
+
+### Core Invariant: 3-Layer Enforcement
+The system enforces **"Events in namespace X invisible to namespace Y"** through three independent layers:
+
+1. **Memory (EventBus):** exactSubscribers keyed by namespace
+2. **Storage (JetStreamEventStore):** Separate NATS streams per namespace
+3. **Network (NATSEventBus):** Subject prefix aether.events.{namespace}
+
+Result: **Even if one layer fails, the other two provide defense in depth.**
+
+### Implementation Status: 85% Complete
+- ✓ Core invariants enforced
+- ✓ NATS-native patterns working
+- ✓ Wildcard subscriptions documented
+- ✗ Namespace metadata in events (P1 gap)
+- ✗ Explicit validation (P2 gap)
+- ✗ Integration tests (P4 gap)
+
+### Alignment with Vision: Excellent
+- **Primitives Over Frameworks:** Namespace is a string, not a branded type; no opinionated framework
+- **NATS-Native:** Uses native subjects, patterns, streams; no abstraction layer
+- **Resource Conscious:** Zero overhead; namespace is just a string
+- **Events as Complete History:** All events immutable and per-namespace
+
+### Refactoring Path: Low Risk, High Value
+- P1 (Add namespace metadata): 2-3 days, HIGH impact
+- P2 (Validation): 1 day, MEDIUM impact
+- P3 (NamespacedEventBus wrapper): 2-3 days, MEDIUM impact
+- P4-P5: Lower priority, documentation-focused
+
+**Total effort:** 8-10 days, can be done incrementally
