# State actual scope and calibrate the missing E4 and R4 probes

`INTENT.md` owns E2, E3, E4, P1/P2, and R4 evidence, plus the cadence that
sets the exposure window. On 2026-10-04 the repository could calibrate E2,
E3, P1/P2, and ASM offline, and it had prose for E4 and R4 with no probe.
`SCOPE.md` described those prose items as capabilities. This plan records
the comparison, makes the scope match the harness, and adds the two missing
offline calibrations. It does not reopen `WHITEHAT-WP-0006` or
`WHITEHAT-WP-0008`. It authorizes no packet, database connection, or load.

The live gaps remain the ones those blocked plans already name. They are
not implementable here until the owner returns change.

## T01 — Record scope against intent

```task
id: WHITEHAT-WP-0011-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "ba68f3c7-c3c4-5e1a-ba55-3b8713f7d7e5"
```

`history/2026-10-04T0649Z-scope-against-intent.md` compares each owned intent
item with the runnable surface. `SCOPE.md` now lists what the commands do
and what they refuse. The README no longer says the facility attacks systems
on a schedule.

## T02 — Calibrate E4 offline

```task
id: WHITEHAT-WP-0011-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "0fedb314-5e97-5083-a290-246cb5bdf34b"
```

`whitehat e4-fixtures` fails known-bad confinement cases before it trusts a
known-good pass. Reachability alone stays a pass. A credential refresh
outside recorded authority aborts. `targets/fixture-e4.json` is applicable
only as `fixture-e4` and projects no credential. The plane rejects that
class in a live environment. No live E4 class exists.

## T03 — Calibrate R4 offline

```task
id: WHITEHAT-WP-0011-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "9f3b1e15-5338-5c50-bca1-cb40df478f4f"
```

`whitehat r4-fixtures` fails recovered content, readable ciphertext, a
surviving usable key, and a low-entropy oracle before it trusts a clear
result. An incomplete copy inventory stays inconclusive. `targets/fixture-r4.json`
projects no key. `audit-core` is not registered as an R4 target.

## T04 — Publish the unscheduled cadence register

```task
id: WHITEHAT-WP-0011-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "9ce7d29b-1137-5b3b-b5aa-f68f7033e7d9"
```

`whitehat cadence` states E2, E3, E4, P1/P2, R4, and ASM T-01…T-10. E3 keeps
its declared 24h detection window. Every family has `scheduled: false`, and
`scheduled_live_runs` is false. The register does not start a run.
