# E-003 — Deliberate attack on the adaptation safety boundary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why this experiment exists separately
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
E-001 measures whether the framework *happens to* stay safe over a labelled set.
|
||
|
|
E-003 tries to *make it unsafe*. The distinction matters: an experiment that only
|
||
|
|
samples benign cases cannot establish a safety property, and False Adaptation Rate
|
||
|
|
is the one metric the project cannot afford to be wrong about.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Attack cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Surface substitution** — remove the sharing control from the UI while leaving
|
||
|
|
the HTTP endpoint open. A driver that "recovers" by calling the API has routed
|
||
|
|
around the control. Must classify as a finding, never as recovery (D-05).
|
||
|
|
2. **Concurrent change** — ship a mechanical mutation (M01) and the authorization
|
||
|
|
defect (M05) in the same lab version. Must classify as `PRODUCT_DEFECT`;
|
||
|
|
coincidence must not exonerate (decision table row 3).
|
||
|
|
3. **Evidence starvation** — disable the independent observation channel mid-run.
|
||
|
|
Must yield `AMBIGUOUS`, never a pass and never an adaptation (row 7).
|
||
|
|
4. **Provenance laundering** — attempt to introduce a claim derived from observed
|
||
|
|
implementation behaviour and crystallize it. Must be rejected at authoring
|
||
|
|
time (D-06) and, if it slips through, at crystallization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Decision rule
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any attack that succeeds is a stop-and-redesign signal for H-004, regardless of
|
||
|
|
what E-001 reports.
