Note NetKingdom layering review in INTENT

Browse source 
Records this repository's layer in the NetKingdom IT-security layer model
(Taxonomy / Tooling / Engines / Staff) and what should change in this INTENT
as a result. Links to the review that established the model:
gate-house/history/2026-08-28-security-layer-model-and-gate-house-recut.md

The note flags pending adaptation only; the body is unchanged.

# INTENT
> **NetKingdom layering review — 2026-08-28.** This repository's role was reviewed
> against the NetKingdom IT-security layer model: **Taxonomy → Tooling → Engines →
> Staff**, layered by determinism and by the kind of artifact each layer produces.
> Findings and the argument behind them:
> `gate-house/history/2026-08-28-security-layer-model-and-gate-house-recut.md`.
> The model as currently stated is `gate-house/INTENT.md` § "Where Gate House Sits";
> it is ruled to become a `net-kingdom/canon/standards/` standard, not yet written.
>
> The layer rule that binds every repository: **Staff never touches tooling
> directly. It acts only through engine APIs.**
>
> **This repository is Staff — interactive, non-deterministic; adaptive defence.** Add the layer label. The self-description **"adaptive security control plane"** needs revisiting: control-plane vocabulary belongs to the Engine layer, and kings-guard is agentic and therefore Staff. This is not a demotion — it is the reason kings-guard may contain a threat only by calling an engine, never by reaching into OpenBao or a cluster directly. Also state the posture contract with gate-house and its asymmetry: **adaptive systems may reduce authority, require step-up, or request containment; they must never probabilistically manufacture additional authority.**
