tegwick 449307bea2 RISK-WP-0005 T02, T03, T04: intake, the transition, and an honest README
T02: docs/method/intake.md names all four sources INTENT claims and
builds the two that had none. An incident files first and grades within
the hour, carries first_observed because obligations run from it, sits at
instant until it is over, and escalates immediately rather than batched —
a 72-hour notification clock outranks the rule that protects the
operator's attention. External report has no address anywhere in the
estate, and where one lives is policy-nexus's and the custodian's, so it
is routed with a proposal rather than invented here.

T03: the production transition defined by what is held rather than what
was announced — the first moment any system holds real external data,
which can happen by accident and cannot be reversed. Declared by the
custodian; noticed and asked about by this register. Lists what fires:
five re-scores, two acceptances ending, six policies activating.

T04: the README no longer claims a surface this repo does not have.

risk-nexus

Risk register and regulatory intake for the estate. Owned by the-custodian.

It does not serve anything yet. INTENT.md names risk.coulomb.social as the eventual surface; today publication runs through policy-nexus and three documents are waiting for an address. Recorded here rather than left as a claim, because a stated surface that does not exist is the class of thing this register grades other repos down for.

Holds findings — security, architecture, operational, compliance — with a severity, an owner and a date; decides whether and when each is published; and decides which must reach the operator personally rather than sitting in a register.

It does not fix things: findings route to the repo that owns the defect. It does not host: policy-nexus is the publication surface.

Where things are

  • REGISTER.md — the whole register, one screen. Generated; do not edit.
  • findings/ — one file per finding. findings/README.md is the filing contract for reporting repos.
  • notes/ — seen, deliberately below the floor. Not graded, not reviewed.
  • docs/method/ — how this repo decides: severity, disclosure, escalation, review and expiry.
  • docs/rulings/ — the reasoning behind each grading, dated.
  • workplans/ — the work.

Using it

make register   # rebuild REGISTER.md from findings/
make check      # verify the index, then report what is going quiet

make check reports ungraded findings, overdue reviews, stalled remediation, embargoes due for re-decision, escalations awaiting the operator, and what is owed at the production transition. It changes nothing.
