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: v0.2.0 pilot; 14 cards, 24 owners, 69 pinned sources, read-only retrieval CLI, sealed exports and provider adapters.
  • Verification: 327 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 Codex/Claude scenario evidence is retained. Grok retrieval is proven; corrected routing validation timed out. Independent review, actual compaction/resume and broader adoption remain live tasks in EMERGENT-WP-0002.
  • No running service, credential issuer or runtime enforcement is provided.
