tegwick e32a9c5dfe Seal knowledge 0.2.5 on the Informed Decision delivery pin.
Startup was withheld because the owner moved past 15c330cc. The new
seal reviews b4f6373, including local delivery limits and the
boolean-preserving dev forwarder at state-hub d61ba32. The unsigned
draft was regenerated and not submitted. EMERGENT-WP-0002 stays blocked.

# 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: v0.2.5 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withdrawn-procedure and missing-event recipients after repeat routing defects.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. At that release, the unsigned draft bound 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.
Release 0.2.5 re-pins Informed Decision at `b4f63732` after that owner recorded
local delivery wiring and state-hub `d61ba32` accepted governed boolean leaves.
Startup on 0.2.4 was withheld once that pin moved. The decisions card records
fresh-login/p01 acceptance, the open browser freshness error, empty registries,
notification without a URL, local posed evidence, write-back left off, and T08
still waiting on the service account and T05/T06. No listener or submitter
route is claimed. The unsigned draft binds digest
`9e186dbd6f2d5eb455bca24db4b03cd866c63c4e94660430dd15f2ca9856215f` and is
unsubmitted. 0.2.4 probes, resumes, and pilots stay pinned to that digest.
See `docs/evidence/2026-10-03-025-informed-decision-repin.md`.
