 # 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 is `net-kingdom/canon/standards/security-layer-model_v0.1.md` (proposed),
-> ratified by `gate-house/decisions/decisions.md` GH-DEC-2026-001.
->
-> 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.**

-  posture asymmetry'
-status: open

-description: 'gate-house asks kings-guard to assent to its placement in the NetKingdom
-  security layer model. (1) kings-guard is Staff — agentic and non-deterministic —
-  not an Engine. Acting at runtime does not make a repository an Engine; being agentic
-  makes it Staff. (2) Consequently its self-description as an adaptive security control
-  plane needs revisiting: control plane is Engine-layer vocabulary (standard section
-  8). 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 (the
-  binding rule, standard section 5: Staff never touches Tooling directly). (3) 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. kings-guard publishes posture, gate-house defines
-  its authority meaning, access-engine renders it. If the binding rule is impractical
-  for containment in a real incident, say so — that is exactly the kind of finding
-  that should change the doctrine rather than be worked around.'
