tegwick 90cc64f728 Security Layer Model v0.3 — assign approvals and maturity
v0.2 recorded the approval object as the one open architectural hole, and
carried a latent instance of its own §9.1 rule: gate-house was catalogued as
owning conformance review with no engine to act through. Two engines were
seeded to close both.

- §9.4: the approval object goes to approval-engine — not Staff (§3.4 forbids
  the runtime state), not access-engine (an evaluator owning what it evaluates
  is self-dealing), not audit-core (append-only is the opposite property).
  access-engine consumes approvals as input claims under §6.2; audit-core takes
  the tamper-evident evidence. Operative state and evidence record are separate
  artifacts with separate owners.
- §9.5: graded progression goes to maturity-engine. gate-house judges and
  proposes; maturity-engine computes and remembers. Carries the guardrail that
  a level may never gate a decision directly — under §6.1 that would be a
  second decision point by the graded back door.
- §4 catalog gained both engines; §13 register updated.

Status proposed: the new engines are seeded by owner direction with no other
side to assent yet, and the approval evidence half needs audit-core's assent.

NetKingdom

NetKingdom is the canonical security architecture, integration boundary, and bootstrap/reference implementation for NetKingdom environments. It defines identity, tenancy, credential, workload-zone, and security-composition contracts while leaving provider and Railiance execution in their owning repositories.

The dynamic, self-optimizing security platform is the long-term direction in INTENT.md, not a claim about current delivery.

Orientation

  • SCOPE.md — what this repo owns, current state, and when it is relevant
  • Security layer model — how the security estate is layered (Taxonomy / Tooling / Engines / Staff) and what each layer may own
  • Security scenario composition — deterministic, plan-only capability and trust composition
  • Posture feedback — deterministic, proposal-only posture and evidence remediation findings

Security Infrastructure Documents

  • secrets-engine security infrastructure boundary defines how secrets-engine participates in the NetKingdom security infrastructure and how it interacts with OpenBao, flex-auth, user-engine, ops-warden, ops-bridge, info-tech-canon, State Hub, and agents.
