tegwick 7d6ded5743 The inbox round: two grades corrected, one note promoted
Read the repo inbox after grading, which is the wrong order and is now
recorded as such. flex-auth had answered the NetworkPolicy question on
2026-08-18 (narrow ingress, not default-deny — L3 becomes L2, critical
becomes high) and reported RISK-F-0001 fixed at 12:35 today with live 401
probes. F-0001 closes fixed and public; its escalation is withdrawn
before it was ever sent. RISK-F-0002's ordering constraint lifts with it
and its trigger-6 escalation is withdrawn.

audit-core had routed the erasure-versus-audit legal question here on
2026-08-18 asking for an owner. RISK-N-0002 was wrong to call it a note:
the remedy is not retrofittable, so the decision can only be taken early.
Promoted to RISK-F-0008, owned by this repo as regulatory intake,
escalated on trigger 2.

Accepted rapp-postgres's record format and ops-warden's typed-act
escalation vocabulary. Reading the inbox is now question zero of every
review.

Filing a finding

One file per finding: findings/RISK-F-NNNN-<slug>.md, YAML front-matter, then prose. Next id is one past the highest here.

What the reporter fills in

id: RISK-F-0004
type: finding
title: "one line, what is true — not what should be done"
status: open                  # open | fixed | accepted | withdrawn
reported_by: <repo>           # who found it
reported_via: <repo>          # who routed it here, if different
date_reported: "YYYY-MM-DD"
system: <repo>                # the system the defect is in
environment: production       # production | build | both
fix_owner: <repo>             # who owns the fix — never risk-nexus
fix_tracking: <WP-ID or unset>
related: [RISK-F-0001]        # optional

What risk-nexus fills in — leave these out

severity, severity_at_production, impact, likelihood, fidelity_modifier, production_rescore, disclosure, embargo_*, escalation*, constraint*, last_reviewed, review_by, graded_by, ruling.

Setting them yourself is not an error to be corrected — it is a boundary this repo would rather keep. The reporter says what is true; this repo says how bad it is and who hears about it (INTENT.md). Leaving them out, or writing unset, both work; the nag reports either way until they are graded.

What makes a good finding here

  • State exposure only as far as you can support it. "Not established" is a complete answer and grades better than a guess. RISK-F-0001 declining to assume a NetworkPolicy is the model.
  • Say how it was found. Provenance is a grading input.
  • Suggest a direction if you have one, marked as a suggestion. The fix is yours; the grade is ours.
  • A note is fine. If it would not change anyone's decision, it belongs in notes/ — see the floor in docs/method/severity.md.

After filing: make check. Then this repo grades it.
