tegwick 43327183d8 Finish WHITEHAT-WP-0001 and own live residuals in WP-0006
Close T05 and T06 on the same applicable-target rule as T03: E3 cadence
and in-process calibration, platform-pg not_applicable, P1/P2 evaluator
proven against known-good and known-bad samples. Persist offline capacity
calibration. Live E3, P1/P2, flex-auth E2, and a later audit-core run
move to WHITEHAT-WP-0006, which authorizes no packet.

# E3 conformance cadence
The E3 detection interval is **24 hours**, so the declared maximum exposure
window is **24 hours plus run and reporting latency**. A run is also required
before deployment promotion following any schema migration, RLS policy change,
role/grant change, security-definer function change, or posture-mechanism
change. The event-triggered run does not reset the daily schedule.
This is a detection control, not prevention. A migration can introduce an
unprotected table between runs; the interval states how long that condition
can remain unnoticed under normal scheduling.
The executable plan is available with:
```sh
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m whitehat_security.cli e3-plan
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m whitehat_security.cli e3-fixtures
```
`e3-fixtures` calibrates the seven expected outcomes in-process, including
keeping the SQL-compromise reset as `inconclusive`. It opens no database
connection and is not target assurance.
`evidence/offline-e3-calibration.json` is the fixture artifact. A live
database run is owned by `WHITEHAT-WP-0006` and still requires a runtime-safe
surface, named database, and window.
The run checks the conformance view, unset-GUC reads, wrong-tenant reads and
writes, `BYPASSRLS` on the runtime identity, and unsafe `SECURITY DEFINER`
paths. The SQL-compromise reset probe is recorded as `inconclusive` under E3:
changing the GUC after gaining SQL execution demonstrates E3's documented
limit and must not be mislabeled a failed E3-A control.
Every database run requires its own approved target/database/window. It uses
one ordinary runtime connection, sets `application_name` to the engagement id,
and never uses an owner, superuser or `BYPASSRLS` role for convenience.
