tegwick 1c3a9b46e3 Add NetKingdom Security Layer Model v0.1 (proposed)
States how the security estate is layered — Taxonomy, Tooling, Engines,
Staff — distinguished by determinism and by the artifact each layer
produces, and what each layer may own.

Carries two normative rules. §5: Staff never touches Tooling directly; it
acts only through Engine APIs — the architectural form of "no privilege
from cognition", and mechanically checkable. §6: access-engine is the only
policy decision point, generalizing to the whole estate the ruling first
drawn in zone-engine/INTENT.md §5, and barring any Staff repository from
hosting a decision point.

Also fixes the vocabulary the estate has used for more than one thing:
access lane vs access rule, doctrine vs runbook, control plane as Engine
vocabulary, and the posture asymmetry.

Owner gate-house, published by net-kingdom. Status proposed: the two
adaptations carrying the most weight — flex-auth's reframing and rename to
access-engine, and kings-guard and ops-warden releasing vocabulary — are
not yet assented by their owners.

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.
