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: v0.2.2 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 Release 0.2.1 clarifies withdrawn-procedure and missing-event recipients after repeat routing defects.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, full provider validation, actual compaction/resume and broader adoption remain live tasks in EMERGENT-WP-0002.
  • No running service, credential issuer or runtime enforcement is provided.

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; no clean independent acceptance is claimed. Glas model evidence now leaves unreported observed models unknown. Current native continuity requirements remain in GLAS-WP-0012; distribution stays a draft.
