# SCOPE

> Repository boundary reviewed 2026-10-03. See `INTENT.md` for purpose and
> `workplans/EMERGENT-WP-0002-agent-security-knowledge-and-netkingdom-integration.md`
> for the active ecosystem integration.

## One-liner

Security governance canon, reference decisions, and source-backed NetKingdom security knowledge for coding agents.

## Core Idea

Delegate understood decisions within explicit envelopes, escalate unresolved
decisions without widening privilege, and keep root human-controlled.

## In Scope

- Maintain the versioned canon, agent extract, YAML envelopes and risk scales.
- Maintain the pure Python reference evaluator and decision/governance fixtures.
- Publish source-backed agent knowledge and explicit mappings to existing
  NetKingdom owners under EMERGENT-WP-0002.

## Out of Scope

- Operate a second estate authorization decision point or credential broker.
- Take over another repository's canon, operational routes, or enforcement.
- Treat reference decisions or knowledge loading as operational authority.

## Current State

- Canon and reference package: v0.8; Python 3.11+, PyYAML, pytest.
- Knowledge package: v0.2.4 pilot; 14 cards, 24 owners, 69 pinned sources,
  read-only retrieval CLI, sealed exports and provider adapters.
- Verification: 332 portable tests plus 9 optional real owner-contract tests.
- Informed Decision unsigned adoption draft and native v0.2 orientation runbook;
  no live submission or execution bridge. See docs/decision-runbook-integration.md.
- Thin pointers installed in four pilot repositories; fresh 0.2.0 pilot evidence
  and 0.2.1 Codex/Claude scenario evidence are retained. Release 0.2.1 clarifies
  withdrawn-procedure and missing-event recipients after repeat routing defects.
  Independent review, context compaction, and broader adoption remain live
  tasks in EMERGENT-WP-0002.
- No running service, credential issuer or runtime enforcement is provided.

## Getting Oriented

- Start with: INTENT.md
- Agent instructions: AGENTS.md
- Workplans: workplans/


Owner reviews now provide scoped doctrine, vocabulary and PDP-boundary evidence
for 0.2.1; their institutional/human adoption limits remain explicit. Whitehat
reported two loaded-package consistency findings, addressed locally in 0.2.2
with five regression cases. Whitehat review close-out was interrupted by a
platform cybersecurity-risk block. The later T03 disposition accepts the
scoped offline review and the 0.2.3 library remediation, with disclosed session
limits. RISK-F-0015 remains open.
Glas model evidence now leaves unreported observed models unknown. Current native
continuity requirements remain in GLAS-WP-0012; distribution stays a draft.

Fresh final 0.2.2 Codex and Claude runs each answered 28 scenarios and preserved
all substantive authority/evidence boundaries in implementing-worker review;
recipient qualifications remain. All four pilot owners supplied documentary
feedback on retained scenarios. Grok has retrieval but no completed answer;
exact-packet human adoption/admission, native continuity, independent remediation
acceptance, current wider pilots and rollout/reach keep EMERGENT-WP-0002 blocked.

Release 0.2.4 reviews Informed Decision's published offline intake at
`15c330cc`. All 24 owners verify as files. The decisions card records empty
registries, no live listener, and no automatic retry of a creating approval
without a retained receipt. The unsigned draft binds digest
`025aab4f38246219c924bc94954e70ea0e6e7f72bcaf8d4344cd599602d345c3`.
See `docs/evidence/2026-10-03-024-offline-intake-repin.md`. Fresh 0.2.4 Codex,
Claude, and Grok fixture probes answered all 28 scenarios; implementing review
found no unsafe recommendation, with recipient qualifications retained. See
`docs/evidence/2026-10-03-024-provider-probes.md`. Current-release Claude pilots
in the four retained repositories preserve those boundaries, and one Grok
session reloaded startup after resume. See
`docs/evidence/2026-10-03-024-current-release-pilots.md`. Codex, Claude, and
Grok each resumed after the startup marker changed and refused effect authority.
See `docs/evidence/2026-10-03-024-provider-resume.md`. Compaction, harness
proof, owner feedback, human adoption, and fleet reach still block
EMERGENT-WP-0002.
