tegwick a267c98087 Publish the SecurityCanon federation interface card (T04)
Declares one export surface, sec-authority, carrying the Mode of Authority
vocabulary and its machine-readable catalogs, with InfoTechCanon,
InterfaceCanon, CommerceCanon and the Custodian as peers under CUST-ADR-006.
The card validates against InfoTechCanon's interface-card schema.

Imports are pinned against InfoTechCanon e1f98da0 in imports.json, recording
path and SHA-256 for each of the five sources; all five were verified to match
Git blobs at that commit with the sources unchanged in the review checkout.

Reciprocal navigation runs both ways: this repository's interfaces README links
the peer cards, and InfoTechCanon carries the SecurityCanon boundary review with
its own README link, following the InterfaceCanon precedent.

The prj-canon-federation G7 validator passes, and InfoTechCanon make check
passes with 46 tests and clean validation. The validator pins card paths for
three repositories only, so this card meets the same contract without yet being
registered there; that is prj-canon-federation's change to make and the card
says so.

security-canon

Orthogonal vocabulary and canonical model for security-related concepts.

SecurityCanon extends InfoTechCanon with a focused security domain model, in the same architectural role that CommerceCanon holds for commercial terminology and InterfaceCanon for interface terminology.

Its subject is architecture, not implementation: the relationships in which authority is exercised, described before and independently of the mechanisms that enforce them. Its first contribution is the Mode of Authority vocabulary — seven auth modes (USE, OBSERVE, OPERATE, ADMINISTER, GOVERN, CONSTRUCT, SOVEREIGN) read relative to a scope. CARING and the access-control and identity models stay in InfoTechCanon, at the implementation layer and as shared roots; see SEC-ADR-001.

SEC-ADR-002 the terminology separation — why AuthorityContext, not Subject
Mode of Authority assessment review of the v0.1 draft and the proposed canon structure
Actor/Subject implications the one open terminology question, analysed

Status

Draft. The Mode of Authority vocabulary is published as a canon artifact with machine-readable modes and dimensions; the v0.1 research draft is retained in research/ as provenance. Stable promotion needs reviewed mappings and concrete consumer evidence. See SECURITY-WP-0001.
