tegwick c8e941f5ab Assess Mode of Authority canon and re-order SECURITY-WP-0001
Review of spec/ModeOfAuthorityCanon-v0.1.md, recorded as a timestamped
assessment in history/. Two findings change the plan.

SecurityCanon is not only a recipient of extracted InfoTechCanon material. The
Mode of Authority draft is a native contribution and is plausibly the organizing
spine of the canon, so the vocabulary has to be settled before artifacts are
migrated into it rather than after.

Mode of Authority and CARING independently invented overlapping dimensions.
Scope, Subject, Activation/Condition and Capability/Operations collide by name
while differing in meaning, and CARING's Operator role reads as a synonym for
the OPERATE auth mode without being one. Merging naively would produce a canon
that misleads.

Workplan adapted: T02 becomes a three-way reconciliation with a required
dimension-collision table, T04 must declare Mode of Authority as an export, T05
now waits on the vocabulary being settled, and two tasks are added — T06 to
promote the draft into a checkable Tier-1 artifact with its orientation
surfaces, T07 to resolve the collision as a recorded decision.

The assessment leaves five questions to the owner, including whether CARING
migrates at all and whether Mode of Authority is security terminology or
general information-systems terminology.
