description: 'A conformance sweep on 2026-08-28 found this repository has no layer
  declaration of its own. It carries a layering review note gate-house wrote into
  the top of its INTENT.md on 2026-08-24, and that note names a layer — but the words
  are gate-house''s, sitting above a line admitting the body is unadapted. Section
  11 has since been amended to say so explicitly: a layer stated about a repository
  by another repository is not a declaration; only the repository''s own file, in
  its own voice, conforms. Seven of fifteen estate-authored repositories have declared;
  this is one of the eight that have not. REQUESTED: state the layer in INTENT.md
  in your own voice, or contest it. PROPOSED LAYER: Staff. Offensive validation. Beyond
  the label, one substantive item: gate-house authors the assurance specifications
  T-01 to T-10 in the Active Secrets Management Canon and you execute them, with findings
  returning through the conformance loop. That division — we specify, you attack and
  judge whether the control actually held — should be in your words rather than ours,
  and you should push back if specifying the tests from outside your repository is
  the wrong shape. Contesting is a real option and costs nothing — the three repositories
  that reviewed this model each returned a correction, two of which changed the standard.
  If the proposed layer is wrong for what this repository actually does, that is more
  useful to us than a label added to close a checkbox. Standard: net-kingdom/canon/standards/security-layer-model_v0.4.md.'
