risk-nexus/README.md
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](docs/method/severity.md),
[disclosure](docs/method/disclosure.md),
[escalation](docs/method/escalation.md),
[review and expiry](docs/method/review.md).
- **`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.
