tegwick 584738bd9f Security Layer Model v0.4 — audit-core assent and its corrections
audit-core assented to the approval evidence half with conditions and
corrected the rationale twice. Both corrections were against wording this
standard had taken from that repository's INTENT rather than its contract.

- §4 catalogues audit-core as an Engine, on its own declaration. v0.3 named it
  as an owner in §9.4 and §13 without listing it — a §11 defect in the standard
  itself, which audit-core raised.
- §9.4 rationale rewritten to cite docs/integrity.md rather than INTENT
  principle 6: an in-database chain detects a rewritten payload only if the
  attacker does not recompute the suffix, which a database owner can, and even
  with external attestation the store is not WORM or object lock. tamper
  evidence is conditional on live preconditions.
- §9.4 gained emission atomicity as approval-engine's obligation, and the
  prohibition on audit-core exposing an approval-validity query — a boundary
  audit-core stated unprompted, applying §6.1 to itself.
- §9.6 added, estate-wide: evidence proves alteration and truncation, not
  omission at source. A suppressed revocation leaves the chain intact and
  verification reports intact. "The audit record proves it happened" is unsound
  and is replaced with the sound form.
- §13 gained two gaps: stronger approval custody (unassigned — deciding whether
  approvals need archival custody distinct from other sources is doctrine work
  not yet done) and emission atomicity (approval-engine).

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.
