Reference note from the 2026-08-28 review of INTENT.md across the security
estate. Establishes the four-layer model (taxonomy / tooling / engines /
helpers), distinguished by determinism and artifact kind, and its
self-similarity to the ASM Canon's three planes.
Key finding: gate-house's authority-plane framing places a deterministic
decision point inside the non-deterministic management layer, violating
INV-02, and collides with flex-auth's declared ownership of authorization.
zone-engine §5 already ruled that flex-auth is the only policy decision
point. Re-cuts gate-house as the doctrine and conformance council.
Not canon and not a decision record; the decisions it recommends still
have to be written and assented to.
