A mixed fleet should not require three operating models
Apple, Windows and Linux will remain different because their protocols, capabilities and evidence models are different. Plate 001 shows how an endpoint team can declare one outcome, compile it into native policy for each applicable platform and bring the resulting state back into one governed loop.

Device management is the last layer that still assumes a person is watching
Endpoint and IT platform teams are being asked to let scripts, pipelines and models act on the fleet without giving up human control. Plate 000 shows the control plane this requires: callable from every surface, governed at execution and accountable after the device changes.
